Have you been to a county fair recently?
If not – then rest assured that they still have the old-fashioned carnival barker there, offering to guess anything from your weight, to your zodiac sign, to your age — all for just a few dollars. Don’t worry – if they get it wrong, they hand you a stuffed animal worth $0.25 to them. It’s sheer profit, even if they lose every single transaction that they attempt.
Has it really been almost 14 years since Web Watch last shared with our readers a website about a ROCK BAND NAME GENERATOR?
If you’re like Web Watch, then you too have likely received the parental email thread – typically forwarded from friend after friend, Facebook after Facebook post – that encourages everyone to enter an I.C.E. entry on your cellphone.
You know, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
That ICE entry would contain the name, phone number, and other immediately important information about the person/people that emergency responders should contact for you when an emergency or crisis occurs. Web Watch even knows someone who has a complete ICE binder sitting smack on top of their refrigerator, with the names, addresses, and phone numbers of their entire family tree. This makes sense, of course – as everyone knows that the kitchen is the 2nd most dangerous place in the house… after the bathroom.
And who would want to keep an ICE binder in the bathroom?

We all own some music.
Whether it be strictly on digital downloads from Apple, Amazon, or other digital vendors; CD purchases, cassette tapes, vinyl — or, if you’re going super old-school, 8-tracks or even some 45 singles… owning music to be able to play on-demand, in the manner and format that most appeals to you, is what some would equate to living the perfect life.

Everybody dreams while sleeping.
The key is whether you can remember what you’ve dreamt or not. Some dreams are awesome, some are nightmarish – but all reflect some aspect of the subconscious (whether buried deep or not).
And, if you’re like most people, you may find yourself wishing that you could revisit your dream state to finish out the story that was being unraveled while you slept.

Have you ever heard of the acronymEDC?
It stands for EVERYDAY CARRY, and represents those few things that you always carry on your, no matter what.
For some people, it’s the standard — watch, wallet (with specific credit cards, shopping cards, insurance cards, family photos), cell phone, car key, house key. A pocket full of change. Maybe some lip balm.
Women have it a bit easier, as various purse sizes allow for a wide expanse of Everyday Carry items to be toted around like (literally) there’s no tomorrow. Heck, one day we even watched a woman pull out a 1lb bag of coffee beans from her purse that she just happened to be carrying around with her for no observable reason that evening. (Ask us for the full story, next time you see us out and about. It’s a hoot.)
Some of Web Watch’s friends insist on carrying switchblade knives of various deadly lengths. Others prefer the more subtle Swiss Army Knife.
