The real names of fictional characters

As you get closer to the birth of your new baby, you may start to wonder whether you should stick with a name from one of those baby books, or whether you should go off the beaten path and name your child after, let’s say, your favorite character.

Some people have done this successfully, such as Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller who (with his wife’s blessing, we assume) decided to name his daughter Moxie Crimefighter. Who can’t say that a crimefighter isn’t a favorite character somewhere along the way?

But let’s say that you have more personal favorites from the world of books, games, food products, or other marketing. Why wouldn’t you want to name your child after one of those characters… if ONLY YOU KNEW WHAT THEIR REAL NAMES WERE?!?!?

Why you shouldn’t keep your pet in your car

Do you drive your dog around each weekend?

Is your dog the kind that travels with its head out the window, sniffing as the world goes by? Or is your dog a bit more casual – sitting comfortably in the passenger seat and napping?

Or are you the kind of driver who insists on driving with your dog sitting in your lap (and possibly getting in the way of the airbag, should it be needed in an emergency situation)?

How to pee during a filibuster

Post author By web gangsta
Post date June 28, 2013

The rules of a filibuster are quite clear — you can usually speak for as long as you want, as long as you do stay on topic and don’t leave the floor.

In Texas, you’re not even allowed to lean or sit. It’s not easy to continually talk about a specific topic for hours on end, let alone do it without a bathroom break.

So it’s the inevitable question: CAN YOU PEE DURING A FILIBUSTER?

Video Fun: Singing at the Fast Food Drive Thru

It’s a tired comedian point of view: nobody can ever understand the fast-food worker at the other end of the drive thru order speaker.

The order comes back mumbled, they never get anything right when you order at the drive thru. You’re always stuck behind the mom with the 14 different orders for each member of the baseball team in her minivan (along with 14 different payments for each one).

Yup, the drive thru can be a real blah.

Video Fun: Horse Carriage Music Videos in New Orleans

Bands are always trying to figure out what the “next big thing” can be in making their music videos more interesting and engaging with their fans.

You could do the same thing (concert video) that everyone else does, or you could work outside of your comfort zone and do something a bit different — both in film style as well as music style. Why lipsync when you can play live in a unique venue?

Top 7 Things People Used the Internet for in 1994

The Internet has been around for a really long time.

Truth is, kids that are just graduating high school and heading off to college today have never known a life when the Internet wasn’t a daily part of their lives. Sure, accessing it may have gotten a bit easier over the years, but it’s always been there for them

And it’s been an even longer time that WEB WATCH has been sharing Internet sites and interesting stuff online for our readers — so yeah, the Internet has come a long, long way since 1994.

But how different is it now versus what it was like before?

Maybe we need to step into our Time Machine and head back to 1994 to see the TOP 7 THINGS THAT PEOPLE USED THE INTERNET FOR.

How to create a happy soundtrack for your app

Post date June 2, 2013

One of the hardest things for amateurs to do when coming up with a great video, web game, or smartphone app is to come up with a high quality music bed to accompany the narration or gameplay.

At worst, it becomes an annoying din that the user has to tune out or turn off.

At best, it’s a hooky catch that transcends beyond the game to become an entity unto itself.
