The Grist 13

1. Radiohead
Thom Yorke still looks like a duck, but we appreciate his band's intentions.

2. Apple Fights
Not Mac vs. PC. We're talking about throwing real apples at people. It's a farm thing.

3. Stripper Pole Accidents
With professionals, it's sad. But when drunk chicks or dudes brain themselves, it's high-larious.

4. Lolsecretz
Check it here. The marriage of PostSecret and lolcats.

5. People Watching In Oshawa
It's like if humanity was a giant tire fire.

6. Bat For Lashes "What's A Girl To Do" Video
Be part of a bicycle gang with crazy furries, that's what she'll do.

7. Being The Lone Canadian In A 50 Person NFL Pool And Winning
Ha! You Americans love your football. You just don't know how to win when
gambling on it.

8. "Offensively Ugly"
Insult of the month, beating out "show pony" and "try hard."

9. Angel Food Cake
Simple and woefully underappreciated in the cake community.

10. Roberto Cavalli For H&M
This is like Emeril designing a hamburger for Wendy's.

11. Knight Rider Returns
NBC wants to bring back KITT. Wonderful, Michael.

12. The Cruzin Cooler
Check it here. If only all science was purposed to create such wonderful things.

13. The Two Coreys
Haim and Feldman, together again!

Shitty 7
1. Kanye West's Sunglasses
Look, we're all happy that you beat 50, but you need to drop those ridiculous shades.

2. Nude Celebrities
We're completely over bare nipple, bush or wiener. Feet though… mmmm, that's another story.

3. Frogs With See-through Skin
And you think someone isn't trying to clone Hitler?

4. Champagne And Red Bull
"The taste is horrible," says a recipient of this concoction. "It's sad when I have to choke back free booze."

5. Bionic Woman
They've eliminated the "bionic" noise. WTF!?

6. Flossing With Unwaxed Dental Floss
It's about on par with those big, deep underground pimples that hurt so much and are unpickable.

7. When Your Food Order Gets Screwed Up
It's not that complicated. If I say "fries," make sure it's fries. But if you're a picky, irritating or impolite orderer, you get what you deserve.
