Considering the topic (CLOWNS!), Web Watch will try to keep this post as non-threatening as possible. We know that some people suffer from COULROPHOBIA – a FEAR OF CLOWNS, and we want to be sure not to frighten anyone away unnecessarily.
So we’re going to keep it simple, and recommend that you listen to the soothing sounds of TOO MUCH JOY’s CLOWNS while you read this list of the TOP 25 MOST COMMON CLOWN NAMES, based on the International Clown Registry of over 950 unique clown names entered:

Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook
Web Watch went to school with a bunch of nerds.
Granted, today’s economy is run by nerds – and considering how many people are sucked into wasting their time on Facebook and Twitter, it looks like the nerds did get their revenge.
Except back then, nerds weren’t just computer-oriented folk. Sometimes, those same kids would wander out of the computer lab and into broad daylight – proudly holding their DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS PLAYERS GUIDE, MONSTERS MANUAL, or 20-SIDED DICE as they shuffled off to their next D&D encounter.
Web Watch has heard horror stories from our parent friends about the difficult times they have toilet training their children. One couple is still doing the diaper thing with their four-year-old, continuing to take the stance of “when they’re ready to use the potty, they will” rather than trying to force a child to do something that they’re not willing to do on their own.
Hey parents – here’s a hint for you: maybe they are ready, but they really like the attention that they get by you continuing to wipe and diaper them every few hours. We’ll hazard a guess that once you stop pampering your child with luv (puns intended), then maybe they’ll start taking care of their business on their own.
But let’s harken back a few years ago to a New York Times article entitled A FAST TRACK TO TOILET TRAINING. The article talks about how parents are trying to get their children to use the potty earlier in life – most often around 6 months old, but with one interviewee claiming that her child was using the potty at 10 weeks old.
The Photobomb. It was a great picture… until somebody walked into the shot.
When it comes to vacation pictures at popular tourist destinations, a photobomb is inevitable. Someone always will get in your way as you try to take that once-in-a-lifetime shot.
Web Watch’s friend Chip recently posted an article entitled HOW TO GET THOSE EMPTY DISNEY PARK PHOTOS where he goes on to describe an elaborate process that many people do in order to get that classic “nobody is in front of the Castle” shot down Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom.
While Web Watch was able to get our own photo of the Castle without any people in it by running down Main Street immediately after the rope-drop and taking the picture before the throngs of madly-rushing people behind us got in our way (it’s a great picture, in case you were wondering) – Chip’s solution is to make an early-morning breakfast reservation in the park, and take your picture while you’re heading over to the restaurant before the park opens for the day.
While Chip’s answer offers a more leisurely method of getting the photo compared to our rope-drop version, there’s still an infinitely easier way to get that same “ghost town” effect on any photo that you want to have of a big, popular tourist destination.

On Writing – A Memoir of the Craft, by Stephen King
Writing Web Watch is not often easy.
It’s not the finding cool stuff to write about. Web Watch has a stack of things in our To Do pile to address at some point, and the Internet is always growing. We’ll never have a topic shortage here.
No, it’s the actual writing that can be problematic. Finding the right words to say, putting them into their proper order. Making sure words are formed into phrases, that timing and spacing is correct. Whoever said that writing wasn’t work was lying. (Yes, we’re looking at you… every English teacher who ever taught.)
So when Web Watch stumbled upon the site I WRITE LIKE, we jumped at the chance to see if all the effort we poured into Web Watch was paying off.

I am Woman
Remember F***MY LIFE (aka “FML”) that Web Watch told you about last year?
That’s the website where people bitch and complain about how their life sucks more than yours, and everyone gets to vote on their favorite F-ups?
Apparently, that site wasn’t catering directly enough to women.
