Top 10 Napkin Fold Techniques
colornap.jpg

I know what you're thinking. Only a Top 10? It's napkins for goodness sake! There's got to be, well, at least 23 3/4 great ways to fold them.

And you'd be right.

But we've got to single out the best. The folds that showcase napkins for what they truly are: the unsung hero of every meal. The star of the place setting.

Now I looked at a lot of napkin folding techniques, considered 20 of the coolest, (as recommended by Mrs Beeton and listed by Quamut) and narrowed the list to the ten which virtually anyone can make.

Top Ten Bottle Rocket Accidents
bottle_rockets.jpg
Cheap, explosive, and unreliable. That's how I'd categorize most of my relationships with women. The same terms could be applied to bottle rockets, which have given double the excitement any of the ex-Miss Echowoods have. In high school, we'd launch them out of my car's sunroof ... while I was driving. We'd attach various bugs and creatures to them, with the understanding that all organisms really want a fast and violent death. But no creature is more amusing than the human, especially when it comes to accidents at the fiery hands of bottle rockets.

(Accidents is used lightly here. Perhaps "incidents of stupidity" would have been better.)

Top Ten Henry Rollins Rants
rollins_ybnby.jpg
Henry Rollins, the former front man of Black Flag, is the voice many suburban-raised and equally repressed men want to have. He's not only angry, but articulate. He can stand in front of a crowd, microphone chord wrapped around his strained and ... I'm assuming ... rock solid forearm, and dish it out. The rest of us, we hide behind pseudonyms and write about our distaste for humanity on blogs from the comfort and safety of our homes. But Henry is up there, hosting shows, writing books, and touring. And if you've never heard some of Henry's rants, I've collected some of his best after the jump.

Top Ten Songs to Have Sex To
frenchhorn_ybnby.jpg
The wine bottles have been emptied, the warm breeze off the ocean runs through her hair causing her to tuck the wayward strands behind her ear. Through the dancing glow of the candles, and the way she's kissing your neck ... repeatedly, you know that tonight is going to be a good one. In order to enhance the mood, you randomly punch a button on your iPod, which brings up "Unskinny Bop" by Poison, ruins the mood, and causes your date to lose all interest. No sex tonight. No crushing of that ass. Instead, you and Bret Michaels are re-living the 80s, while your girl is putting her clothes back on and heading out the door.

We don't want this to happen to you. So, we've put together a list of some of the 10 best songs to have sex make love to. These have all been tested - at great length - by yours truly and have passed the test.

What every reality show contestant should know
castshot1.jpg

My friend Warren writes for reality TV shows. He's penned plot twists, unexpected outcomes and judges zingers for Hell's Kitchen, The Mole, The Bachelor, Top Chef and many others.

Come on, you didn't think these shows were ad lib did you? While the contestants may not have to memorize all their lines, they are certainly guided and prodded. Plus, if things aren't going well, the writers help spice up the mix.

I asked him for a few pointers for those perspective contestants out there. He gave me 10 suggestions. I hope it helps you cause I'm sick of watching they same idiots do the same stupid things.

10 Awesomely Bizarre Japanese YouTube Videos

Any Japanese speakers out there care to fill me in on the meaning behind these head-scratchingly wonderful clips?

On second thought, don't -- it's probably more satisfying NOT knowing, rather than having that sense of child-like wonder shattered...much like a magician revealing his secrets (such as, how he gets laid even after telling women he's a professional magician.)

Robots Hate Pushups

While good for building upper body strength in humans, pushups actually just turn robots into the devil.

Top Twenty YBNBY Stories of the Year

610x.jpg

As we come to the end of the year, it's become tradition for the writers to look back over some of their favorite stories. This week, you'll start to see posts from each of the writers around a specific category, and I'm going to kick us off with a Top Twenty Most Read Stories of the Year.

These are the stories that got the most traffic this year. I have only included stories that were WRITTEN this year, as quite a few of our top performers still come from the back archives, and I'll be including those in an all time Top Ten nearer to the end of the year.

So - let's see which stories and authors got the most buzz in 2008:

Top Ten Rules for the Office Holiday Party
holidayparty_ybnby.JPG
My intern keeps winking at me, rubbing her stomach and whispering "nine months" as she walks past. Lou, from accounting, dropped off a pamphlet on alcoholism on my desk, and there's a pentagram burned into the carpet in my office. The day after an office holiday party is one full of regrets. Too much drunk. Too much flirtation. Too much truth. The excesses are revealed the day after, and no matter how much you promise not to repeat the same mistakes next year, you always do. Always.

This year, I've written up a guide to keep you safe and prepared for next year. We'll forgo the standard, don't tell the boss to fuck off, don't drink too much, advice. We're going deeper this year.

Top 10 strange, but true, record labels


record45.jpg

Here's a top ten list I never thought I'd write. But once I stumbled upon the names of #2 & #1 on the list, I knew there had to be more.

Okay,
say you're going to launch a record label and you wanted to give your company's name as little chance of being taken seriously as possible.

You might go with something strange, crazy, stupid or unappetizing like...ˇ

I learned some sad news today.

He was a great writer, director, producer and creator. But most of all he wrote some really great novels.

In his honor, here's my Top 10 Michael Crichton books.

10 Cheap, Half-Assed, Last-Minute Halloween Costumes for Men

another_damn_pirate.jpg
Above: No, YOUR costume won't be anywhere near this nice, but hey, at least there'll be one less motherfucking pirate this Halloween.

Gentlemen, we've all been there before: you weren't going to do anything for Halloween this year besides turn off your porch light and scarf down that bushel of fun-size Snickers all by yourself, but your bro just called to tell you to get your ass down to this raging bash that's got two kegs of your favorite beer and is brimming with "talent" dressed as the "sexy/slutty" variety of every profession/creature known to man, including 11 sexy cats and 6 slutty nurses. (Wait, that last slutty nurse was actually a slutty angel -- just noticed the wings.)

The catch? You MUST wear some sort of costume, or you can't get into the party. But even if the costume store were still open, you're broke as a joke. You can't sew, you don't have any cool props lying around, and you've used up all your creativity on your last sick day excuse at work. (Glad to hear your Dengue fever has cleared up, by the way.)

So what's a cheap, lazy, procrastinating horndog to do? Check out these suggestions, which meet (barely) the legal definition of "costume," are mostly comprised of stuff you already have lying around your home, and require only slightly more effort than scratching your balls.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
