OMG, THEY KILLED MCOYSTY

The cold winter months provide the chance for everyone to break out their fancy winter jackets. And there's this one specific group of people with "special" winter jackets.
You know, the ones adorned with lift tickets from different ski/snowboard resorts.
And they wear those lift tickets as if they were gold medals. Because that's what they are. Pretend gold medals for people that aren't actually good enough for actual gold medals.
So with that said, check out my lift ticket:

Post title was uttered by a friend I label "ultimate hater of everything" at the sight of a overly sparkling wedding dress.

Students get paid to learn?
I know, most of you won't even bother clicking on the link because the story originated in Atlanta (but how would you know that without clicking?), so let me quickly summarize:
"Forty students from Creekside High and Bear Creek Middle schools in Fairburn will be the first to try the "Learn & Earn" program, where students will get paid to attend after-school tutoring programs."
You see, the students that enroll in the program learn how bribery works!
More importantly, who's going to do all the random chores like shoveling snow and mowing the lawn for a cheap buck now that kids could earn $8 an hour sitting in a tutoring session?
...but it's t-shirt worthy.
"I hate emo kids more than they hate themselves."
Remember my post, "Little Lols"?
Of course you do. You're avid fans of my blog. You know everything there is to know. Go get yourself a reward cookie (try an Oreo, there aren't much better reward cookies than Oreo's. Seriously! It's been proven by pseudoscience. Which means absolutely nothing). I'll wait.
*humming Cher's "Believe" (don't ask)*
Delicious?
I told you so.
Back to the subject at hand. In that video, the baby was conditioned to laugh when paper was ripped. Now, a couple of you were outraged at the child exploitation going on in the video.
I took it one step further.
Witness below, as I condition my friend to laugh (outrageously) at the sight of a baby laughing.
What's this "other one" that was mentioned near the end of the video by the gentlemen sitting up front? Well, that was the video that set the tone. I showed a different but equally funny baby laughing video just before the above video took place, but you can click for that yourself, if you're still interested in my pseudo-science experiment.
Class Number One - Databases - In the middle of diagrammatically representing a simplified version of Facebook's database structure, a discussion breaks out on certain requirements between student number 1 (an annoying man who sits up front and slows down the class by asking questions, making comments, and being too friendly with the prof) and student number 2 (an annoyed student happening to sit in the same row as yours truly)...
Student number 1: You don't need friends to have Facebook. It's not a requirement.
Student number 2: We're not talking about YOUR Facebook account.
The rest of us: Did he just.......OHHHH BUUURN!!!!!!!! BOOM HEAD SHOT!
Class Number Two - Medical Imaging
The funny professor randomly inserted an American Gladiator analogy to explain Ultrasound techniques. American Gladiator. How often does a prof use CURRENT pop culture references, much less a show I happen to watch (and a show a bunch of us have attempted to adapt for ourselves here in our lowly apartments)? It was legend-that-thing-you-find-on-a-map-to-help-you-decipher-the-symbols-dary.
