#18 Synergy

Just like everything else in today's world, someone who felt they were brighter, smarter and technically superior to the rest of us (and had some working knowledge of the Greek language) had to come up with a fancy way of saying "let's work together."

Congratulations, buddy, you've accomplished basically nothing as the phrase "let's work together" was doing a perfect job of getting the point across before you came along with your fancy, uppity speak.  

Synergize this.

#17 Behold - Dickipedia

Your a dick, we're a dick....seems like today everyone is a dick, in some form or another.  

Ok - maybe that was a little harsh.  NOT.  

Richards?  Are you there???  Again, we digress.  Moving on!

We've all got a little bit of a dick inside us, and this wonderful off-shoot inspired by the mothership that is Wikipedia chronicles the who's who of dicks in the public sector, past and present alike.  You would think that it would be made obvious through the social media outlets, news and other, worthier blogs than this, who the societal dicks of today are; but it's great to be able to  see all of the biggest dicks out there in one place - Dickipedia.

Also, be sure to check out the "random page" link from the main menu for a Russian Roulette style of thumbing through the dicks.

#16 Spuds MacKenzie

In the late 80's, a time of sorrow and pain, a time with no class, no style, nothing. One little Bull Terrier was there to rescue us.

I give you the single greatest advertising bone (no pun intended) ever thrown to beer drinkers— Spuds Mackenzie.

This "happenin' dude" was first bequeathed upon us during a Super Bowl ad. By the end of the game, the little pooch was a marketing legend.

Alas, Spuds was not without his naysayer's. In 1992, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, along with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, charged that Anheuser-Busch was pitching the dog to children. However, the mighty Spuds rose again in victory as the Federal Trade Commision found no evidence to support that allegation. Unfortunately, the ads were dropped anyways.

Here's a little known and unfortunate fact, Spuds was actually a bitch.

I know. I know. I feel like less of a man as well.

Nonetheless, here's to Spuds. This Bud's on me.

#15 Waffle House

"Dude, let's get some Waffle House."

Have those words ever been spoken by an individual not under the spell of demon alcohol, or for that matter any "performance enhancer?"

I choose (read: hope) to believe they have not.

You see, Waffle House claims to be the world’s leading server of waffles, T-bone steaks, omelets, cheese 'n eggs, USDA Choice hamburgers, country ham, pork chops, grits, hashbrowns, cheesesteaks, patty melts, raisin toast, apple butter, and Heinz Traditional Steak Sauce. I think, for one, that the term "world's leader" should be inspected more thoroughly.

So, who wants to grab a T-Bone Steak from an establishment made "famous" for their waffles?

Give me a hangover, and I'll show you.

#14 Grinding

This ish is crazy. Remember when, like, back in high school and middle school and Catholic school, how grinding always got a bad rap? I know, so do we. With collaborative inspiration from our guest ideator, Crazy KC, we bring you some tips on how to make grinding less taboo:

First things first, grinding is like Fight Club - you don't talk about it. Keep in mind that many people may not be comfortable grinding with someone they do not know. If the person takes notice of you, and acknowledges you, approach them and ask if they'd like to dance. If that goes well, move in for the grind; and don't look back.

Also important to note is that the person dancing in the rear should not keep a cell phone or wallet in a front pocket – girls may get the wrong idea. Move your phone or wallet to your back pocket.

Guys may experience an erection while grinding. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, try these things:
- Bend your knees so that the bottom of your stomach is the area getting the most friction.
- Turn so that they are grinding your knee.
- If repositioning does not work, you may want to excuse yourself for a few minutes to let things settle down.
- If all else fails "pull up and tuck."

Inspiration for this WikiWha post has been pulled from the fodder found at WikiHow, a subsidiary site of Wikipedia.

Also, yes, that's our boy, Tom Cruise grinding on Katie Holmes.

#13 Garden Gnome Liberationists

Garden Gnome Liberationists (GGLs). Are you f@%$ing serious?

Apparently.

These "individuals" advocate the "freedom" of garden gnomes. Often times, GGLs will steal our beloved, friendly, bearded (see post #12 for more on facial hair) gnomes and move them to new locations.

Freedom? Bitch please. They're ceramic.

I guess we can all thank Travelocity for their creative advertising the next time one of our pointed-hat donning friends is plucked from his peaceful perch under the Bird Bath, next to the pink, plastic flamingo under the watchful eye of the Lawn Jockey, who just so happens to be admiring his bad self in the Mirrored Yard Globe.

#12 Facial Hair

So, what it be?  Five-O'clock shadow? Fumanchu?  Handlebars?  Pornstache?  Goatee?  Chops?  Flavor saver? Half-and-half?

Who cares.   All we know is that it happens.   And if it isn't managed, it can become downright unrully.

Here's a chart to figure out which facial hair-scaping might look best on you:

Our friends at Wikipedia say that males should have fully developed facial hair by their early 20s. Looks like I'm behind that curve.
