Do you know the difference between a hobo, a bum, and a vagrant?
If so, then maybe you’ll want to make sure you visit Britt, Iowa – that’s where the NATIONAL HOBO CONVENTION is held every year. The convention is held the 2nd weekend of August, and has been held in Britt for the past 110 years.

Remember how all through grade school you were continually threatened by school administrators with “This is going on to your permanent record”?
While you could certainly try calling your old grade school or high school office to see what they decided to put onto your permanent record (and whether their record-keeping was just a threat or not), you can always check the PERMANENT RECORD website to see what really HAS made it onto your permanent record.

Restaurants and Institutions magazine has released their 2009 list of the TOP 400 RESTAURANT CHAINS, in terms of revenue.
Coming in at top is no surprise: McDonalds, with over US$70 billion in sales.
Rounding out the rest of the top ten are:
The magazine also released their annual list of the TOP EARNING INDEPENDENT RESTAURANTS FOR 2009 as well.
Just as Web Watch reported a few years ago the first time we looked at these statistics, Las Vegas-based TAO is still at the top of the list, with $68m in 2008 earnings and an average dinner check of $72. Not bad, when you have 785,000 people coming through your door.
The rest of the top 10 independent restaurants were:
Falling just out of the top 10, at spot number 11, is our first Walt Disney World property, Fulton’s Crab House. With an average check of $45, Fulton’s made $20m in 2008. Other Disney properties that made the list include Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe at #25 ($15.7m), and the Contemporary Resort’s California Grill at #97 ($11.1m).
*the Adult Film industry, that is.
Yes, this post will point you in the direction you need to GET STARTED IN THE ADULT FILM INDUSTRY.
For example, if you wanted to made a film for HUMPFEST.
Besides, it’s good to throw a couple of NSFW links out there for you frequent Web Watch readers.
NSFW = “Not Safe For Work”, for those of you who don’t know what it means. No, we’re not linking to sites featuring nekkid photos, but the content in all of today’s links may be a bit more graphic than what you’ve been used to seeing here on Web Watch. Be appropriately warned.
Web Watch enjoys having a drink with friends, and on occasion there is a need to send a Twitter message out about the current festivities.
Web Watch has covered such drunk twittering (“dwittering”) in previous posts, but we have not covered the more dangerous, come-back-to-haunt-you act of drunk texting.

Web Watch enjoys watching Food Network, and one of the limited-run series that Food Network has been airing for the past few weeks is entitled THE BEST THING I EVER ATE.
Each episode has various Food Network stars (Guy Fieri, Duff Goldman, Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, etc) raving about the Best Things They’ve Ever Eaten in different categories. If you’re a foodie, these are the places around the country that you should stick your head into to see what’s up.
One episode, entitled “Obsessions”, covered foods from Miami to San Francisco. Finally, an episode that featured three(!) restaurants that Web Watch has already visited. So far, so good.

CELEBRITY BLIND ITEMS are those little teases you might see in US or People magazines, or the tabloid section of your favorite local newspaper (such as Page 6 for you New Yorkers).
While they won’t tell you exactly who the gossip is about, the blind item usually gives enough information for the reader to figure out on their own who the gossip-worthy celebrity is.
