Have you ever written a quick text message, Twitter comment, or email to someone – intended to be a joke – and have it be completely misinterpreted?
There’s a reason why emoticons have become so widespread :) .
It’s because on the Internet, nobody can really tell if what they’re reading is supposed to be taken at face value or if it should be treated like a joke.

We all know that the Modern Man doesn’t buy underwear.
At least, the Modern Man doesn’t buy any new underwear. They just stick with the briefs or boxers that their mom last bought for them as they headed off to college, and then proceed to wear them until the waistband separates from the cool cotton comfort.
No elastic? No problem!
There’s a reason why many rock stars on tour have “3-pack of underwear, assorted colors” on their concert rider. It’s easier to have a fresh pair handed to you by a complete stranger rather than ask them to do your traveling laundry while you’re on stage.

Have you ever wanted to go completely Gallagher on somebody, and just slam a watermelon with a sledgehammer to see how it feels?
Maybe you just don’t have a sledgehammer handy, and maybe you want to make it more interesting and interactive for all involved parties.
Here’s how Web Watch will help you EXPLODE A WATERMELON, using common office supplies — and hopefully, have you win a bar bet or two.

Web Watch has two questions for you today:
The qualifier portion of these questions are really that “close” and “personal” portion. Everybody has dozens of acquaintances, people you know peripherally.
Friends of friends.
Spouses of friends.
Folks you see at the bar / soccer field / diner on a regular basis, enough to wave or say “hi” to, but not necessarily people you’d invite over for a bottle of wine.
Would they qualify as “close, personal” friends?

The 1980’s may have given us some good music, but they certainly didn’t give us good TV shows, hairstyles, or fashion sense.

Call it what you will: the FAMILY BED, COSLEEPING, or just being a parent who loves the comfort that sleeping near their children brings to them — sharing the parental bed as a family can be very beneficial to uniting the family unit – just as it may seem a bit unusual to those parents who don’t follow the same practice.
The Family Bed is different from having all the kids jump into the bed with their parents because they’re sick, had a nightmare, or are scared of the big thunderstorm that’s going on outside.
Web Watch will let our readers learn about what the Family Bed is – and isn’t – on their own. We’re here to talk about it in a slightly different manner…

Over the years, Web Watch has had the pleasure of meeting a number of our readers and sharing war stories about things people will do at a bar for fun.
It’s true – get enough drunk people together, and the infamous catchphrase of “hey y’all – watch this!” is often followed by “betcha can’t”.
Web Watch often offers a standing $1 for certain games and activities, if completed. Some people say that a single dollar isn’t worth the challenge, while others gleefully take them on. We’re more than happy to pay up when a challenge is completed – half the fun is getting there, right?
