The main objective of the popular party game, Apples to Apples, is to collect as many green cards as possible. The ignorant side of me wonders if immigrants are extra good at winning.
WatchMy favorite part is the alternating of shirts and stuffed animals throughout the flashbacks. Seeing as I literally taught them everything* they know, I am very proud that J&A will soon help make MTV watchable again.
* Not true, although I did make eye contact twice this summer on accident (interns were immediately sent home if they did so purposely)

I just got a record player for Christmas.
Now I know that sounds weird, what with it not being Christmas and me being Jewish and all.

WatchI dare you to find a music video that is grungier than this one. I make it a point to watch it at least once a year if only to see Chris Cornell looking like Weird Al and the rest of the band jamming out on a beach in their ridiculous 1991 clothing.
