How not to pronounce anything ever

Want to know how to pronounce tricky nouns properly like quinoa, Hermes and Bijon Frise in order to avoid social slip-ups? Then avoid these videos. Youtube’s Pronunciation Manual is, however, the perfect place to waste time. Each one is as wildly inaccurate as the next, and the fact that they are all less than 10 seconds long makes these videos feel virtually guilt free!

Food on my dog

The title of this blog really speaks for itself. It follows Tiger, the Staffordshire bull terrier, in her quest of staggering self-control. Tiger’s owner balances different cuisines on her forehead and then takes a picture, which turns out to be very amusing for the viewer. (Though maybe not so much for Tiger.)

Find your E-Zen

If things are getting really desperate, you can always check up on the tweets of an imaginary feral pigeon, posting regular updates on the pursuits of his imaginary life. They turn out to be about as riveting as you might have expected. Warning: if you find this feed does prove of any thrill to you, you probably need to take a break.
