Can you SUMMARIZE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE in 140 characters or less?
That’s the challenge that the NEW YORKER presented to their readers the other day. More specifically, especially as STAR WARS celebrates its 35th birthday, readers needed to summarize the plot to STAR WARS.
All submitted to Twitter (which is really the only way to run a meme like this), here’s a sampling of what readers came up with:

Just file this under the category of “Why didn’t we think of this?”. There has to be a target market for this type of thing…

Are you that Web Watch reader who’s stuck at work, just hankering to look at some images that your company would consider to be NSFW (that’s “not safe for work”, for those new Web Watch readers who may not be familiar with the term).
Look – Web Watch understands that some of our readers may be a bit addicted to pornography, so we’re here to help. We’ve found a website that’s perfectly acceptable for you to view at work, even though it is 100% filled with explicit, pornographic images.
In some divorces, couples fight over who gets the toilet paper.
One of Web Watch’s friends wanted out of his marriage so badly, he left everything behind. The ex-wife got everything – including his clothes. He felt it was easier to just replace all his stuff then it was to have to deal with her in any way.
Yeah, that was a rough divorce, but rest assured that he’s in a much, much happier place now.

Have you ever quit your job?
Web Watch knows someone who didn’t actually quit their job – they just stopped showing up while they went to work elsewhere. The employer kept paying them and kept them on the payroll for months, before figuring out that person wasn’t going to come back. It was more of a quiet, subtle quit process.
But quitting can bring such joy to people, if they do it with passion.

Bored?
Looking for something fun to do?
Why not take a few minutes to poke around with Google?
(“Hey, Web Watch – we already know how to use Google,” you say. Of course you do. But here’s how to have FUN with Google search…)

So the other day, Web Watch was having some drinks with friends when the topic of party music came up.
Of course, we all broke out singing Red Solo Cup
Which only prompted us to sing the song louder and at every available opportunity.
And that’s when the conversation shifted from FUN PARTY SONGS to WORST SONGS FOR STRIPPERS TO DANCE TO.
The overall winner?
Well, another one has finally arrived.
The WOOT.COM BOC (affectionately known as a “Bag of Crap”, or any other acronym that contains the letters “B.O.C.”) is here.
As Web Watch previously told you about when we ordered our WOOT BANDOLIER OF CARROTS, WOOT.COM occasionally offers grab bags of assorted merchandise for $3 (plus $5 shipping and handling). When you place your order, you have no idea what you’re going to get.
Just like the TV show LET’S MAKE A DEAL, sometimes you’ll end up with the most awesome prize ever, or you might get zonked.
Let’s take a look at what Web Watch hauled in this time around for our $8 investment:
