Tips for Wearing Pants Made from Corks
1. Having an eye in the back of your *ahem* is an admirable
fashion statement.
2. Do not discuss corkage fees.
3. Feel free to be "that guy" who jumps in the
pool fully clothed. You'll be fine.
4. Give a dollar to the first person who says, "Stop giving me stink-eye!" (Thanks, Dale Basye.)

The Shakespearean Hokey Pokey
O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinstral pedastal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from heaven's yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke—banish now thy doubt.
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.
Via.

Who's got an awesome dad? YOU'VE got an awesome dad.
That’s recent high school graduate Brenna Martini. Why is
she holding a Dr. Seuss book? Read on!
I graduated High School this week. When my Dad said he had a
present for me I thought I was getting some cheesy graduation card. But what I
received was something truly priceless. Following the ceremony he handed me a
bag with a copy of Oh the Places You'll Go by Doctor Seuss inside.
At first I just smiled and said that it meant a lot and that I loved that book.
But then he told me "No, open it up." ...On the
first page I see a short paragraph written by none other than my kindergarten
teacher. I start tearing up but I'm still confused. He tells me "Every
year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten I've gotten
every teacher, coach, and principal to write a little something about you
inside this book."
He managed to keep this book a secret for 13 years, and
apparently everyone else in my life knew about it!
Link for the rest of Brenna's reaction.
