Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "So chivalry IS dead?!"
Hey, look, it’s Monday again. I’ve been listening to a lot of the band Poor Mans Poison on Spotify, and they’re excellent. Look ‘em up after you take a look at internet stuff!

On last week’s episode of I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I continued Action Movie Month by talking about Timecop, which is a very silly, fun movie and resulted in one of our silliest, funniest episodes. And on this Wednesday’s episode, we’re talking about the Sylvester Stallone movie Cliffhanger!

This dog really wanted to get in that lake.
Wow, I feel so bad for Nina — this guy is a dick:
Recently my daughter told Nina about the various ways I have her and her brother over the years. I've told Nina since she was a teenager that she is like one of my kids- we are very close. Lately she has distanced herself from me, not answering texts and not coming for dinner ever other week.
She says that she feels very hurt at the amount of help I've given my own kids and just wishes I hadn't said "you're like one of my own kids" if I did not really mean it. She says she just wishes I hadn't said that- it would not have given her "unrealistic expectations."
Dude, if you can’t handle a little talk about breastfeeding, you aren’t ready for a kid. Also, support your pregnant wife, you dick:
She got mad because it seemed like everybody’s husbands were going to be there and there was going to be a portion where couples had to partner up and be taught how to pump and support.
I told her once again the thought of it already made me feel like it was gory and just talking about what would he talked about is just inappropriate to me and I have a large gag reflex so just imagining what they would be describing would affect me.
I don’t get why I needed a class learning about how her breast lactates when I wasn’t the one pumping and could support her from afar.
Yeah, hard to believe why this woman’s family would want to keep her out of the loop on this one (click through, there’s more):
This is SO unprofessional and I hope this person gets sued:
The employee in question has had the last five days off and was supposed to work this afternoon closing the store. The employee text the group yesterday asking for coverage for today's shift because she was very sick and didn't anticipate being well by this afternoon. I responded to her message with, "don't worry about finding coverage, we're good, and don't worry about future shifts either because you are no employed at our store due to your actions on (date)."

“She drives a hard bargain.”
“Someone come get this child.”
“Do you believe in cowboys?”
I mean, this is basically just Firefly, but it’s still great.
I wish my cat would cuddle with me like this.
I’ve watched this video over and over, I’ve read the comments explaining how it’s edited, and I still don’t get how he did it.
How is this a real commercial?!? Please tell me it’s not real.
I know I say this every week, but I really need a kitten.
Making an epic commercial for toe nail clippers.
