It's Just Another Cyber Monday

MelBivDevoe

I see nothing wrong with his ranking order.

Good morning!  Did you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, stuffing yourselves silly and then napping the day away?  I'm currently writing this from my cushy seat by the fireplace, hot cocoa in hand, and I hope you all had a great holiday.  But now, back to the grind, and back to the links!

Today is Cyber Monday.  Are you taking advantage of all the deals?  Go here for a round-up of what stores are offering today, or go here for a more comprehensive list AND info about who is offering free shipping! 

I'm Ready and Willing, and I'm a Villain

Ah, morning, my old nemesis.  Speaking of enemies, here's a collection of real-life villains drawn in comic book style.  One day I will defeat you, metabolism!!  *shakes fist angrily* (College Humor)

Who doesn't love a good "buy one, get one" free deal?  How about this offer from a jeweler in Georgia - buy a diamond ring and get a gun for free!  Kinda puts a new spin on the idea of a shotgun wedding.  (WSB TV)

I had no idea that they offered CrossFit training for kids as young as 4 years old.  Imagining a toddler who can perform a dead lift when I can't makes me feel a bit embarrassed, to be honest.  (NPR)

This is pretty inspiring.  Artist Julia Kozerski used changing room photos of herself to document her amazing weight loss - 160 pounds in one year!  (Julia Kozerski)

The Queen is Not Amused, But the Internet Definitely Is

MelBivDevoe

Good morning!  Been keeping up with the Olympics this weekend after Friday's nice but slightly underwhelming Opening Ceremonies?  Bleacher Report has a nice round-up of what you've been missing on this side of the pond.  (Note: Their reporting is up-to-the-minute from London, so if you don't want to be spoiled don't click other stories - this one is from Sunday, so you'll be safe!)

My favorite thing from the Olympics so far?  The "Unimpressed Queen Elizabeth" meme.  I like the Queen, and I'd like to imagine she finds these images funny, too.  (Uproxx)

Lainey's List for the Picky, But Practical (and Lazy)

Lainey

I guess I'm hard to shop for, at least that's what I've been told.  Many times.  Many,  many times.  It's weird, because I think I'm pretty easy to shop for, but if the gifts I've received from my dad or from former boyfriends is any indication, either they're just not even trying or perhaps I am a tad picky.  Fine.  I'm picky.  I'm also practical when it comes to gifts.  I know it's fun to give sparkly, shiny baubles and stuff, but really, I'd rather pick those out for myself.  Also, if it's something I'm going to need to dust, you can keep it.  I have enough crap taking up space.  But, um, thank you for the thought!


For a gift, I would prefer either something I can really use, or something that I can use to pick out something for myself, or something that I won't go do because I have a chronic case of the Lazy-As-Fuck.
