Peter Griffin, Passed Out Drunk

Question for our Web Watch readers:  how many drinks does it take before you pass out?

Here’s a better question:  when was the last time you drank so much that you did pass out?

Better still:  does anyone have photos of you passed out?

How to perform the “Perfect Handshake” according to math experts, and other handshaking stats

The Secret Handshake
The Secret Handshake

Howie Mandel doesn’t shake hands.

Donald Trump tries not to shake hands.

World leaders are judged on who they shake hands with, and who shakes hands (or not) with them.

Yes, shaking hands is definitely an art, and the folks at CHEVROLET UK wanted to figure out exactly how to shake hands the right way, as a good solid handshake is often the key to closing a new car sale.

So they came up with THE GUIDE TO THE PERFECT HANDSHAKE, and even commissioned a university professor to come up with a mathematical equation to putting that perfect handshake together.

Why is there ice in the urinal? (and other bathroom sanitation ideas)

Toilet Time Targets for Potty Training
Toilet Time Targets for Potty Training

Female Web Watch readers should seldom have reason to enter the men’s room in public places (Jimmy Buffet concerts being a notable exception, where even Ally McBeal’s co-ed bathroom seems quaint in comparison).

But it they did happen to wander into the men’s room in their favorite watering hole – no pun intended – they may see that some businesses feel that it is important to dump a few bags of ice into the urinals for the evening.

All of which brings up the inevitable question as the ladies return from their trip:  WHY IS THERE ICE IN THE URINALS?  Heck, even the vertible New York Times decided to get in on the action by writing about ICE-FILLED URINALS in a travel article a while back.

At what age should “Family Naked Time” end?


Family Guy Naked Glasses
Family Guy Naked Glasses

Web Watch was eating dinner at a friend’s house the other day when Mom asked her 21-month-old daughter if she wanted to have NAKED TIME and run around the house. 

To those unfamiliar with the concept, “Naked Time” is not so much a way to encourage children to run around the house nekkid as it is to give a regularly-diapered butt some time to air out a little to help prevent diaper rash.

Can you name 7 ways to mess up a wedding? Surprisingly “inviting Adam Sandler” is not on the list


Adam Sandler - They're All Going to Laugh At You
Adam Sandler – They’re All Going to Laugh At You

Web Watch has had some wonderful wedding memories:

  • There was the wedding at the bowling alley during the Stanley Cup playoffs
  • The wedding where the bride proudly proclaimed to everyone within hearing distance how she wasn’t going to consummate the marriage that night… and why.
  • Getting the entire wedding party to lick the ice sculpture as a photo opportunity for the official photographer…after pretty much all the other guests have already done the same thing.
  • That wedding where we had to arrive six hours early to clean the bathrooms at the reception hall

And then there was the wedding where the DJ was asked to play the first 20 seconds – and only the first 20 seconds – of this NSFW song during the reception:

Seriously, that was a wedding to remember. And all of the above — good friends, and good times all. 

And no, we won’t mention the engagement party where the groom-to-be publically and graphically declared his love for his bride’s bosom.  Because that was not a wedding, and therefore ineligible for this post.

Things not to talk about on a date

How to Get a Date
How to Get a Date

In today’s Facebook and Twitter world, everbody is used to sharing (and oversharing) everything about themselves.  Status updates abound, with every little detail / complaint / success / feeling being sent out onto the Internet for the entire population to see — and possibly comment on.

Which is why, when it comes to dating – especially the first date – there are still some rules that should be reviewed as a reminder of what does…and doesn’t…make good first date conversation.

Here are some THINGS NOT TO TALK ABOUT ON A FIRST (or second, or even third) DATE:

  • Any previous relationship.  Yes, everyone has an ex of some type, but you’re not out on a date with them right now, are you?   You can have the “how many people have you slept with” conversation later… like when you’re actually planning on doing the deed.  But for now, leave that topic behind.
  • Your mom.  Even if you’re from the South, where MOMMA’S BOYS ARE MOST OFTEN FROM.  She’s important, but you’re not dating her either. Since Web Watch knows you’re curious about this, 42% of men from Alabama talk to their mom every day.  Here are the states with the highest percentages of sons talking to their mothers on a regular basis (not necessarily daily):
    • Alabama – 72%
    • Tennessee – 69%
    • Louisiana – 64%
    • Georgia – 61%
    • Utah – 55%
    • Kansas – 53%
    • Virginia – 41%
    • Florida – 27%
    • Alaska – 24%
    • Maine – 41%
  • Financial problems.  Everyone has some sort of money issue, but don’t scare off your date this early in a possible relationship.  Besides, she’s going to be wondering whether she should be paying for dinner tonight.
  • Stripper stories.  Unless, of course, you’re on a first date with a stripper.
  • Family baggage.  Unless your mom was a stripper to solve some family financial problem. With that, you have a fascinating story.

Of course, the conversation portion of the evening is just half the battle.  Picking a good first date location is difficult, beyond the less-than-original “dinner and a movie” concept.  But at least have more than one activity planned, and be willing to completely alter your plans if she decides that she wants to do something else entirely. 

And don’t answer your phone or check your Blackberry.  You want her to think that she’s the most important thing in the room to you.  Remember, women almost always know within the first five minutes of meeting a possible suitor whether or not they will be sealing the deal.   So don’t blow it because you need to check your buddies’ Facebook statuses.

Are you an Asker or a Guesser?


20Q game
20 Questions

Are you an ASKER or are you a GUESSER

If you’ve ever travelled to Las Vegas (or Biloxi, Atlantic City, Tunica, or any of the many gambling places in between), you should be familiar with the “comp” system.

Everyone knows about the free drinks that casinos give you just for gambling, but many casual gamblers are left wondering how to get more – show tickets, free buffets, limo pickup at the airport, etc.

The obvious answer is that the player simply needs to gamble more money and spend more time in the casino – and eventually, if you’re lucky, a casino host will magically appear at your elbow and offer you anything your heart desires (if only you’ll continue playing those black and purple chips for a few more hours).

But for the casual gamer – someone who bets the red $5 chips carefully and cautiously – getting those extra freebies takes a little more work.
