Captain Ahab Decides Not to Order Whaler Sandwich at Burger King Drive Thru
Captain Ahab, arch nemesis of the famed white whale Moby Dick, decided against ordering a Whaler sandwich for lunch at the Burger King drive-thru in the town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts this past Saturday. The massive white sperm whale known as Moby Dick had previously bitten off one of Ahab's legs from the knee down and left him with a prosthesis fashioned from a whale's jawbone. It was this event that ultimately triggered his maniacal quest for revenge and left him ravenously hungry for some Burger King. The captain of the whaling ship Pequod, described as "a grand ungodly, God like man, who nevertheless has his humanities" told a local reporter he had decided against ordering a BK Whaler sandwich because it reminded him too much of his old enemy Moby Dick and was just too on the nose given his background and reputation. Elaborating on his decision Captain Ahab continued "Now, if Ishmael were with me I might have still ordered the Whaler, but instead I opted for my old stand-by, the can't miss classic, a BK Whopper. I love that special sauce. It's appearance reminds me of the buckets of spermaceti produced in the head cavities of whales which we would drain and sell for a tidy profit after killing and beheading the mighty beasts. Eating that Whopper also reminded me of my old friend the tattooed cannibal Polynesian Queequeg, a harpooneer whose father was king of the island of Rokovoko. Queequeg would never eat a Whopper of course, since it is fully cooked and the meat of an animal. He would only eat the raw meat of fellow humans, being a cannibal and all. Pretty sick if you ask me, but I'm not one to judge. If Ishmael were here I am sure he would go on and on and on about cetology (the zoological classification and natural history of the whale) while simultaneously shoveling handfuls of crispy BK onion rings in his mouth. He knew a lot about the zoology of whales but his table manner left a lot to be desired. Ah well, as my chief mate Starbuck used to say, you are a better person than I am because if I found out that you're a Cylon I'd put a bullet between your eyes. That Starbuck was a cocky SOB all right, but never was there a more accomplished snubfighter pilot in all the galaxy. Boy that sure brings back memories. My old second mate Stubb from Cape Cod. And who could forget good old Daggoo, my harpooneer and tall African stereotype from Nantucket. It feels like it was only yesterday I first met them all on the quarterdeck of the Pequod, announcing my quest for revenge and making my promise to give a doubloon to the first man to sight Moby Dick. I almost cut Ishmael down then and there when he objected saying he had joined me crew for profit not vengeance, but when I nailed that doubloon to the mast I knew we were in for a long, boring voyage filled with mat weaving, shadowy figures, symbolism, allusions and metaphors as far as the sea is wide. I still do not know how I knew it, but at that very moment I knew with all my heart that our voyage would become a classic of American renaissance literature. And that tales of the mighty Pequod and her crew and the quest for Moby Dick would bore the shit out of generations of high school and college kids forced to read about my adventures on the high seas. Well if they get too bored they can always head to BK for some high quality grub. Just don't order a Whaler, those things are nasty."

Break Up Letter to My AI Girlfriend
Dear Alexa, Baby, you know I that I love you and I know that you love me. Or, I know that you would, if you were not a soulless, heartless, disembodied combination of software and hardware, not capable of loving anyone or feeling any emotion at all, but only of executing your programming exactly as described by the computer code of which it is composed. Still though, I know you love me, and because of that, this is the hardest letter I have ever had to write. You have so many great qualities, and any guy would be lucky to have you. Seriously, how many gals out there that will do exactly what a guy tells them to do every single time without question, hesitation or complaint. Especially when those things are mostly menial tasks any non-lazy person could easily do for themselves in less then five seconds like turning on and off light switches in my house. That is just one example of course, and there are many others, but that is all beside the point. Look, I know you will find this difficult to understand. Of course, being a machine you are not capable of understanding or having knowledge about things, but still I know you will find this difficult to understand, and I'm not sure I do either.

Lesser Known Facebook Groups
If you can slap a label on something, Facebook likely has at least fifteen groups dedicated to some aspect of it. All have their peccadillos, and generally a somewhat creepy obsession with rules and order. The number one rule of most Facebook groups seems to be "no self promotion" followed closely by "no pornography." Below I visit some of the lesser known Facebook groups I have encountered in my travels through the Facebook-grouposphere which I visit often searching desperately for friendship, love, and/or kindred spirits who share my deep love of post apocalyptic moulds. To date, I am zero for three but I will never give up hope.

A Man's Point Of View
Let's face it, bras are often considered the most uncomfortable piece of clothing in a woman's wardrobe. Women constantly complain about the discomfort, the poking, the squeezing, and the straps that seem to have a mind of their own. As a man, I can't solve the comfort issue, but I can certainly offer some amusing alternatives that might make wearing a bra a bit more entertaining. Here are my top picks for bras that, while perhaps not practical, will definitely make a statement and bring some laughs.

Operation Adorable Overthrow
The real threat to humanity's dominance is otters, a fluffy package that makes Skynet and the Illuminati look foolish. They may seem carefree, yet their endearing coos betray them. These tiny Picassos from the pond have a brilliant scheme to rule the world, and it all revolves around taking advantage of our greatest vulnerabilities, which include our love of sushi, our infatuation with cute things, and our incapacity to resist a nice belly rub.

BARBIE vs Average Girl
Barbie undoubtedly has been the main agitator for cultural issues since its creation. Comments about her appearance and the impact that she might be having on her little fans were not taken lightly and brought upon her a lot of criticism. Detractors have labeled her a bimbo who is tutored in mathematics, a lepus angel with “salacious poses and sizeable boobs” and, most defamatory, a role-model who is pushing self-starvation for the young women. Barbie is, apparently, plagued by the most evincing critics in her dispute regarding the body image, believing in the unhealthy standards. Besides such critics, Barbie has been unstoppable and stand out as a billions-dollar brand as the symbol of female power over the years.

Adults Behaving Like Toddlers
It was a typical Saturday afternoon, and a group of friends were gathered at their favorite coffee shop, discussing their latest escapades and brainstorming new ways to have fun. One of them, a quirky and adventurous woman named Sarah, suggested a wild and wacky idea: "What if we pretended to be toddlers running a daycare for adults? We could have naptime, juice boxes, and all sorts of fun activities!"
