I’m The Person Giving This Toast, And Things Are About To Get Weird
I bet you’re excited to see what I’m going to say and how it’s going to cause such strong second-hand embarrassment that you’ll sweat profusely, nervously knock over your drink, or head to the bathroom with stress-induced diarrhea. The best part: I’m only loosely connected to the happy couple so I really shouldn’t be talking in the first place.

Infrequently Asked Questions About Easter
Q: Was Jesus’s tomb chocolate?
A: No, it was stone. Jesus isn’t Willy Wonka. He’s not munching his way out of his tomb to the high-pitched cheers of Oompa-Loompas. This is serious.

What I Imagine Will Happen if I Check My Bag at the Airport
The moment the airline representative puts the tag on my bag, my credit card is charged a $50 hidden checked baggage fee. My bag is placed on the conveyor belt and disappears behind a set of flappy plastic curtains. Directly behind the curtains is a 100 foot drop.

I’m the Mona Lisa, and I Demand to be Repainted as the Sexpot That I Am
When I sat for the portrait, I was dressed in a bright pink halter top revealing a heaving cleavage while holding my yellow pet cockatoo to showcase my playful side. I recently got a spray tan, had my teeth whitened to near-neon, and had my hair straightened and layered professionally. I’d just finished doing fifty push-ups so that my triceps would look ripped.

I’m Dumping You for a Capybara Named Fabio
I didn’t mean for all this to happen between me and Fabio, but the first day we met he scent-marked me by peeing on my leg and so I knew right away he was into me. After that it was always hard to think of him as just a friend. I agree, the scent-marking is a little weird, but I’m used to it now. I wear capri pants and flip flops so I don’t have to change my clothes. It’s called compromise. Maybe you’ve heard of that concept? Anyway, even if I had a problem with it, his sexy Brazilian accent makes up for it.

Random Thoughts I Had About Why I Can’t Whistle
Whistling conveys a sense of carefreeness and nonchalance. I have never felt carefree or nonchalant.

I, Whiskey, Do Not Condone Being Used as an Anesthetic
When people talk about having a drink to “ease the pain,” they don’t mean it in a literal sense for medical purposes.

Five Mental Health Tips That Won’t Help as Much as a Tall Glass of Cough Syrup
Connect with your spiritual side
Whether or not you identify as religious, connecting with your personal sense of spirituality can help you find peace, belonging, and a sense of purpose. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, spiritual practices like worship and prayer can lead to a wide range of mental health benefits. So if you're into that stuff, go for it--or save yourself a decade of spiritual searching by downing a tall glass of cough syrup. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna--once the Robitussin hits you won't have to seek them out, they'll come to you.

You will be serving as a mother figure to the younger generation in the household. However, be prepared for statements such as “You’re not my real mom!” because you are not in fact the children’s real mom. She is dead or locked in the attic.

Wildlife researchers at the University of Wisconsin — Oshkosh found that nearly 50 percent of instances where a bear might charge is due to the fact that this is a coffee shop and you ordered an iced mocha. If your total is $6.50, calmly tap your card, wish the bear a pleasant rest of their day, and go about your business. However, if the screen displays a tip option, be careful not to hit 10 percent. Studies found that this will agitate the bear.

Suggested Olympic Tweaks
Shotput-This event seems like beta testing for all the cooler things that could be thrown: a spear (AKA the javelin), a giant yoyo (AKA the hammer throw), and a Frisbee (AKA the discus). In this event, it looks like the thrower is deriving his throwing power from getting a hickey from a bowling ball. Yuck!
Solutions: If we absolutely need a 4th throwing event, you can’t go wrong with axes considering people actually pay money axe throwing. Easy sponsorship money.
