Awkward Family Photos
Have you ever looked through your old photos and thought to yourself: "Wow, that's awkward?" Now, you can share your awkward photos, along with hundreds of other photos that are just plain awkward.

Awkward Family Pet Photos
Apparently the creators of Awkward Family Photos received so many photos of awkward shots of people with their pets, that they decided to create a site specifically for awkward pet photos. Would you believe that people have actually gotten family portraits done and have included their loving pet? Pets are not limited to just dogs and cats, people must find them way too generic. You can find family photos with chickens, horses, monkeys, donkeys, and emus (and the list doesn't stop there).

Eat Liver
How do you even explain what Eat Liver is? Obviously, this is not a site designed to encourage people to eat more liver, though I would love to know how they came up with the name. The site is updated every few days with twelve insane pictures that can be found on the Internet. Pictures vary from photos taken from Awkward Family Photos to advertisements to poorly drawn pictures created on the computer.

I'm Remembering!
About a month ago, Rachel was reading Niki's blog (The Nikiverse) who had written an entry about a blog that allows people to post images or stories about toys, movies, games, books, and food that was popular from the 80s. I'm Remembering is a time warp into my childhood. What I enjoy most about I'm Remembering, is the lack of detailed descriptions about the images posted by people. If you grew up in the 80s, your going to remember David the Gnome or Mr. Wizard's World, though there are usually links to an external site providing information on the subject.

People of Walmart
I'm almost positive that everyone in their lifetime has walked into Walmart and experienced something unique. Not too long ago, I had to make a late night Walmart trip. When I arrived there, I had to make a pit stop at the bathroom, but nothing could have prepared me for the fact that not only was the girl next to me taking a pregnancy test, but that she would announce to all of her friends (from the bathroom stall) that "her stick has a plus on it." Now there is a place to exchange stories and photos of the creatures that frequent Walmart. Be warned though, you may have the desire to stab your eyes out with a spork when your done gawking.

That's My Boss
That's My Boss is another site in which readers can post stories relating to their past and present experiences with their boss. Of course the site has some major flaws, most notably the fact that entries are not edited for spelling and grammar mistakes, making entries difficult to read. Stories range from being fired for being pregnant to drinking on the job with the manager. Additionally, stories also range from "are you serious" to "is that even worth complaining about?" It definitely makes you appreciate your job a little more after experiencing some of these horror stories.

Random Creepy Guy
You just get back from the beach and want to either upload photos/develop photos from your amazing day with your friends/family and notice a creepy guy in the background. The creepy guy usually is posing in the background, squeezing his strange little face into the picture. Now you can share your creepster with the world, with Random Creepy Guy.

PostSecret
Every Sunday PostSecret is updated with secrets sent in by people on postcards. Each week there is usually a theme for the week (i.e. weddings, homosexuality, children, parents, etc). Among the more serious secrets, there are a few random confessions (i.e.: I realized I loved you when you took your socks off).

Gamefaqs
I discovered Gamefaqs when I moved back home for the summer during college. I had just purchased Final Fantasy X, and was stuck in the game. I tried to find something online that would help me figure out how to beat a boss, when I discovered the site. Gamefaqs is everything about gaming and includes games dating back to NES. Gamers write all of the guides, reviews, achievements, and cheats and submit them for posting. Since everything is written by gamers, the guides are pretty in-depth, and even point out situations that others have found difficult in a game. I recently submitted my first guide for Lego Harry Potter, but I'm still waiting for it to be posted.
