Remember when you were growing up and you played with your “invisible friend”?
Guess what, Web Watch readers? Some of you haven’t bothered to grow out of that phase of your lives.

Did you know that Japan doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day?
Web Watch was shocked to hear this, just as you were we can imagine. Despite all the marketing that Hallmark and other greeting card companies have done thus far, could you believe that Japan has withstood that barrage of marketing and decided to do their own thing instead?

Photoshop Fun: Calvin and Hobbes edition
Web Watch readers can generally agree – the Best Comic Strip of All Time is (was) Calvin & Hobbes.
Sure, there will be some naysayers that will claim that the best comic strip was The Far Side, or maybe Bloom County. Granted, those comics were awesome in their own way, but they never really captured the heart of what a daily strip was at the time to be looked at 20 years later in fondness for what might-have-been had it continued.
Sometimes Web Watch runs across websites that just don’t know what they’re supposed to be.
Think of it as website schizophrenia.
This is one of those sites.
Does your company have an iconic logo, one that defines who you are or what you do in an instant?
We’re not talking about a cartoon character spokesman, like the Geico Gecko (or the Geico Caveman, take your pick). We’re talking something more akin to the “apple” logo for Apple.
As we’ve seen on any number of episodes of THE PITCH or CELEBRITY APPRENTICE, a vital part of marketing your business or product can come down to the most simple of items, THE LOGO.
Guys – have you ever felt, you know, “not so fresh”… down there?
Seriously, Web Watch couldn’t believe the conversation that a buddy of ours was telling about a friend of his who uses a POWDER-FILLED SOCK to apply GOLD BOND MEDICATED POWDER to, well, just about everything (if you know what we mean).
Apparently this dude has a knotted up tube sock that he just swings around, flapping powder where he needs it most, in all those hard-to-get-at places.
We can only imagine the cloud of dust that lingers all over his bathroom floor.
They say that a tattoo is a personal choice. A statement.
When you have a tattoo, you don’t need to explain its meaning to anyone; why you have it, where you have it, what that tattoo represents — that’s entirely you, and no one else’s.
Parents and home bakers everywhere struggle with this problem every day.
Their kids want specialized character cakes, and the parents don’t want to violate Alton Brown’s credo of “no single taskers in the kitchen”. You don’t want to be stuck with a specialized character cake pan, only to end up with just one cake decorating option available to you until the end of time.
