Just in case you haven’t heard: Cards Against Humanity is the most radical, ridiculous, and hilariously offensive game you’re ever likely to play. 1 Part Apples to Apples, 1 part Mad Libs, and 3 parts your mentally deranged and extremely inappropriate Great Uncle that has no filter – this game is chock full of outrageous randomness and novel shock value which translate into intense bouts of laughter.

Compressing 4.5 hours of planes arriving / landing at San Diego International Airport (SAN) into 25 saturated seconds, Cy Kuckenbaker has created a short documentary-style montage that leaves viewers fazed. When taking into account that SAN doesn’t even make its way into the Top 30 Busiest Airports Internationally (and doesn’t even make the top half of The Top 50 Busiest United States Airports), one has to stretch their imagination to near impossible limits in order to contemplate the amount of air-traffic […]

If you haven’t heard of Matty J, you are (A) obviously in the dark in regards to the culinary world, & (B) under-employing your taste-buds.
