Meet Browser the library cat.

Browser is the resident kitty of the public library in the city of White Settlement, Texas. A few months ago, a city councilman tried to have Browser removed from the library. Browser hasn't gone anywhere, but the city councilman sure has.

According to this adorable cat bio on the library's website, Browser was adopted by the library in 2010. Since then, he's been bringing joy to the citizens of White Settlement, and is even the star of his own annual calendar (sold to raise funds for the library).

CBS Dallas Fort/Worth reports that this past July, a disgruntled White Settlement city worker called for Browser's removal from the library after said worker wasn't permitted to bring their puppy to work at City Hall. When the issue of what to do about Browser went to the City Council, Councilman Elzie Clements was the lone vote for removing the cat from his throne as king of the library.

Councilman Clements' vote received backlash from cat lovers all over the world. Luckily, Browser was able to remain at the library. But when the good people of White Settlement, Texas went to the polls this past November, the councilman was voted out of office in a landslide.

The Texas town's mayor Ron White made sure to assure everyone that as long as he's in charge, Browser’s job title will be ‘Library Cat for Life.’

I know our recent presidential election has inspired a lot of people to run for local office so take this as a word of advice: Don't mess with your town's most beloved cat. If you do, they will destroy you.

Boomer Phelps's parents Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson got married in October in a beautiful Cabo San Lucas ceremony by Michael's home of the sea.

The newlyweds released a video of their enviable, intimate destination wedding with a cool video that forgoes cheesy music (like that overused song from Twilight or "First Day of My Life" by the one hit wonder Bright Eyes...I watch a lot of wedding videos, okay?) in favor of some head-bopping, sexy techno.

This ceremony was in fact the Phelps's second wedding, the first one in the couples' backyard before the Rio Olympics.

“We pretty much got married in sweats and jams,” Johnson told Brides.com of their first ceremony. “When we talk about our wedding, we mean our Cabo wedding in October with our parents, our siblings, our bridal party and a few people who played an integral part of our relationship while we were together.”

Baby Boomer was the ring bearer, holding the rings around his wrist while being carried by fellow Olympian Allison Schmitt.

The Phelpses dated on and off since 2007 before officially becoming "on" forever.

A group of Global Calgary news anchors couldn't even pretend to stomach their coworker's horrendous artichoke dip after sampling the atrocious appetizer live on air. Traffic reporter Leslie Horton admitted to something going wrong while preparing the dip, but rather than throw it out, she decided to torture her co-anchors with it. You know it must have been real bad when a bunch of Canadians couldn't even pretend to be nice.

"It's not that bad. It's the vinegar," said Meteorologist Jordan Witzel as he tried to swallow the potent dip. "But there's no vinegar in there!" replied Horton.

Fellow reporters Amber Schinkel and Scott Fee tried to politely down the swampy, tangy spread, but Schnikel couldn't help but blurt out, "it burns!"

Turns out things went wrong for Horton when she used pickled artichokes as the main ingredient instead of regular canned artichokes— hence the vinegar overload. Horton takes it all in stride, though. She even has an idea for a name for her infamously sour dish.

An Elf on the Shelf is similar to Santa, in that it watches kids, creepily knows their every behavior, and is directly responsible for what kind of presents they get on Christmas.

But since the Elf on the Shelf is a newfangled tradition dating back only to 2005, unlike Santa he's extremely vulnerable to thinkpieces calling him a tool of the "nanny state," a kid-friendly NSA, and a doll whose only message is that it's okay to "spy on kids."

That may be true, but a less thinky way to discredit the Elf on the Shelf tradition would be to read this story of an Elf prank gone wrong, shared by a mom named Lynn Heinrich on Facebook.

Let me apologize now for the language. Last night I did my motherly duty of moving the damn elf. So I was feeling creative and I got shaving cream and sprayed it all over the bathroom mirror and filled one of the two sinks with shaving cream and left a little note that said," Miles did it" and Angel the elf was holding the pencil and had his arm around the shaving cream. Well here is where it all went to shit!
Miles woke up before me and went to the bathroom and apparently got scared shitless that he was going to be in so much trouble that he needed to cover his tracks. Soooo my son, apple of my eye, the monster I was on bed rest for 5 months for, that I went through 21 hours of labor for and took 3 hours to push his huge ass head out, well he decides to frame the elf. So he gets a magic marker, black to be exact and draws squiggly lines all over my bathroom walls. Yes you read that shit right. Then writes a note with the said marker saying, "You are ugly Lynn" and then the mastermind puts the marker on the elf. I have to give him credit there, he is smarter than some of the dumb asses on Snapped or I Almost Got Away With It. Kind of scary if I think about that. Anyway so now because of this Mother F%^$%$& elf I have to paint my bathroom again. I mean how can I yell at him without telling him I know he did it b/c I did the shaving cream.

So to whomever the friggin genius was that came up with Elf on a Shelf, you're an asshole and I hope the elf murders you in your sleep! #ElfOnAShelfFail

UPDATE! No painting was required. Apparently when you use a high gloss paint its so damn shiny and oily that the marker wiped right off with some soap and water!

Since the idea is to move the Elf on the Shelf every night to make it seem alive and incredibly vigilant, Heinrich decided to get a little inventive. She set the Elf up next to a scene of shaving cream mayhem, and made it look like the elf was framing her kid, Miles.

Miles, well, Miles decided it wasn't going down like that.

Mom's funny Elf on the Shelf prank.

Son's quick-thinking solution.

Instead of pleading his case in mom-court the next morning, Miles decided to frame that damn Elf right back, scribbling all over the walls and putting the marker in the doll's hand.

Now, his mom's completely stuck. She can't discipline Miles for what he did, because she doesn't want to reveal the truth of the elf. Also, Miles thought the terrifying elf had turned against him, so his actions are not only understandable but also kind of badass.

"So to whomever the friggin genius was that came up with Elf of a Shelf, you're an asshole and I hope the elf murders you in your sleep!" concluded Heinrich.

See? Elf discredited. And we didn't even have to think about anything serious.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris brought their beautiful married people life to the red carpet Wednesday at the Passengers premier. When E! asked Anna when the last time Chris had done something romantic for her, she was primed with an easy answer: he had just bought her a brand new giant engagement ring.

"He just got me this ring. I know. Like two days ago," Faris says, getting lost in her perfect diamond. "I look [at it] and I'm like, 'I can't believe it either!' He's an incredibly romantic man and I'm very, very lucky."

Buzzfeed snagged a high resolution pic of the ring...

Or you can take a look at our fuzzy one!

Ok, so yeah, this might be total jealousy because who wouldn't want Chris Pratt to keep telling you that he wants to be with you forever, but what's with the new engagement rings? You've already sealed the deal! You're married to Anna Faris! You two have a four-year-old. And if memory serves, it isn't always a great idea to take a page out of the Kim and Kanyemarriage book.

Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel has joined the fight to bust the stigma around breastfeeding in public. The model (and new mom) took to Instagram Sunday night to share her experiences with public breastfeeding, and to question why it's deemed acceptable for her to pose topless (or nude) for photos, but not acceptable to feed her child in public.

Candice Swanepoel shared a photo of herself breastfeeding her young son on Instagram and wrote:

Many women today are shamed for breastfeeding in public, or even kicked out of public places for feeding their children. I have been made to feel the need to cover up and somewhat shy to feed my baby in public places but strangely feel nothing for the topless editorials I've done in the name of art..? The world has been desensitized to the sexualization of the breast and to violence on tv... why should it be different when it comes to breastfeeding? -Breastfeeding is not sexual it's natural- Those who feel it is wrong to feed your child in public need to get educated on the benefits breastfeeding has on mother and child and intern (sic) on society as a whole.

She's got a point, breastfeeding shamers. Maybe it's time to back off.

Emma Becerra's parents just made it official—their divorce that is. Giving the major life event that is "conscious uncoupling" the same spirit as the coupling itself, the (former) Becerras threw a "divorce party" for friends and neighbors.

And it looks awesome.

The newlydivorcés had a poster and balloons like they probably had as newlyweds.

And party favors for the fully unwedding experience.

The two even decorated a car from when they drive off into separate sunsets.

The internet is love with how they're treating out of love.

A very merry unwedding to you!

TV personality Giuliana Rancic is celebrating five years of being cancer-free. Rancic announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer on Today in October 2011. Although Rancic caught the cancer at an early stage, the diagnosis came as a complete shock to the talk show host who has no history of cancer in her family.

On Sunday, Rancic penned a heartfelt message on her Instagram reflecting on the last half a decade.

'Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.' Ever since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, this quote has been my mantra. These words have been my anthem, my inspiration, my comfort and my prayer. They gave me hope that the emotional and physical struggles that had suddenly consumed my life were NOT my life forever. That this was temporary, and I would pass through this storm and feel the sun on the other side. That I would one day feel like "me’ again and be OK.
This week, these words are especially meaningful as I celebrate an important milestone – the one I have prayed for every night for one thousand, eight hundred and twenty-seven nights:
Five years cancer-free.
Now that I’ve reached this critical milestone, the odds of the breast cancer coming back are not gone but exponentially lower. Breast cancer is more of my history, less of my present, but that doesn't mean I am leaving this battlefield.

But Rancic cannot celebrate having won her battle against cancer without acknowledging those who have lost theirs.

Through my journey, I have met those who, it breaks my heart to say, did not reach this milestone. This past year alone, more than 40,000 people died of breast cancer, while another 300,000 received the devastating diagnosis and began their own journeys through the storm.
And I pray for them all.
To those we have lost, I will keep your spirit alive by continuing your fight. And for those who are fighting now, I will pray for you and hope that the same words that helped pull me through the darkest hours will give you some comfort, too. That you will have faith that everything will be OK in the end.

Rancic is cautiously moving forward from her diagnosis and is full of gratitude for her life. She is marking this week as her new beginning.

For me, this week marks a new beginning. I breathe a sigh of relief as I come to the end of this five-year marathon and cross the most significant finish line of my life so far. I can now declare, with immense gratitude and God's love, that I can feel the sun shining on my face. And I can also say that I'm finally...OK.

Rancic's doctor requested she get a mammogram when she was unable to get pregnant through IVF. After being deemed cancer-free, Giuliana and husband Bill Rancic welcomed their son Edward Duke Rancic (who they just call 'Duke') in 2012.

Posting to the popular parenting website Mumsnet, one woman wanted a second opinion. Was she was being unreasonable to ask her guests (family) to chip in a mere £5 for the Christmas dinner she volunteered to host?

"[Dear mother] has thrown a huge paddy at this," wrote the anguished host, using a British term for tantrum, "saying she is a VIP and after all she has done for us, she shouldn't have to do tribute towards her own dinner."

Ah, the holidays! A time for food, family, togetherness, and constant, bitter, unbelievably petty arguments. Here's her post in full:

[Other half] and I have recently moved to the same town as the rest of his and my family, which has put us in the position of being able to host christmas dinner this year- this would be for my 3 [dear sisters] and their [darling partners] and my mum. Problem being it has been a difficult year financially for us and whilst we don't mind (obviously!) doing the bulk of everything, at the suggestion of one of my [dear sisters] we asked if everyone would mind contributing just a few quid (£5!) towards buying the huge joint of beef that everyone wants.

[Darling mother] has thrown a huge paddy at this, saying she is a VIP and after all she has done for us she shouldn't have to do tribute towards her own dinner. Mum has just had a sizeable inheritance and is in a better position than any of us to contribute. I would let it go, I know it seems petty, but as a matter of principle it has pissed me right off that she has this sense of entitlement above any of the rest of us- and believe you me she is no more entitled!! [Am I being unreasonable] to insist she chips in or just fucks off and has christmas dinner elsewhere?

Yes, according to most commenters—she is being unreasonable.

"Don't offer to host if you can't afford it," wrote one. Said another: "You are being unreasonable, you are not a restaurant."

However, of the hundreds of comments, there were those who managed to look past the idea that asking for money is "not exactly in the spirit of Christmas" and make some suggestions.

"I definitely wouldn't take money off family for Christmas dinner, but I wouldn't be asking people what they wanted either," said one—basically suggesting that mom pay for her own beef and eat it alone in a corner while the rest of the family eats cheap turkey cold cuts.

Others suggested she "do a 'bring a dish thing' if that helps, but if you're hosting then you pay."

The poster, who has stayed pretty engaged with these comments throughout the exchange, even responded to some commenters who wanted to know if her mom has hosted herself for years, never asking for financial contributions.

Just to clarify- mum hasn't hosted a big dinner of any sort within living memory virtually, it has been at least ten years since we had a "family" christmas together- it was my three sister's idea to contribute towards the meat as they know what a crappy year we have had financially and otherwise, however no one else has got the room to host the whole lot of us for christmas and it was an idea that sort of just "evolved" ("why Dont we have christmas at thedog's house!") rather than is sending out an invite.

We have thrown umpteen dinner parties at old house, always done the works, rarely is it reciprocated, never by mother. Never ever asked for so much as a bag of peanuts to be brought along although people usually bring a bottle. Mum doesn't do as much for us as she likes to think, basically, not that I ever expect her to, have been self sufficient since I left home at 16 (read into that what you will) and I think what has got my back up is her attitude, more than anything!!

Make sure to tag a cheap family member when you're done reading this article. It's the least (most passive-aggressive thing) you can do this holiday season.

If you are looking up into the windows of high-rise apartments this time of year, you might expect to see lights and a few Christmas trees. But if you are looking into Reddit user SnapeProbDiedAVirgin's exact window, you will see this:

SnapeProbDiedAVirgin swears he left the house with the intent to buy a Christmas tree, but when he returned, he ended up with this giant inflatable Christmas dragon. Perfectly understandable, when you consider that he went on his mission high af.

Why buy trees when you already have enough of them to smoke?

This is the most stonedest thing anyone has ever done. He couldn't have been more of a stoner if he had come home with a live sloth.

Besides, SnapeProbDiedAVirgin has another very sober plan for his Christmas tree:

I am seriously debating tying him to a drone I just bought and have him soar over the city for a little bit.

Take that, Macy's.

And for those of you worried that he was driving high, SnapeProbDiedAVirgin swears he picked up his "Christmas tree" with the help of an Uber. Is there anything that app can't do?

Finally, an alternative to the ugly sweater: pretty makeup.

In honor of the holiday season, people are drawing candy canes on their eyelids to get into the spirit without having to don itchy wool with horny reindeer on them.

"Festive" need not be ugly, it can also be quite cool (and confusingly make people want to eat your eyelids).

This Instagrammer showed an edible candy cane for comparison, and the eyeliner version is, in fact, quite accurate.

Double down on the Christmas color scheme by throwing in some green.

It definitely takes a steady hand to pull off such tiny stripes.

If you lack the surgical precision necessary to pull it off, there's always the companion to candy cane eyeliner: candy cane lips.

You wear what you eat.

This is Dalton Ross.

Dalton is a recent Television Production graduate from University of Westminster. Graduation is a proud moment for any family, but no one was prouder of Dalton than his own father for "finally succeeding at something."

Dalton's dad gifted him a gigantic prize check for the incredibly offensive amount of $4. The printer who made the check probably got more out of Dalton's dad.

Maybe Dalton should have gotten his degree in printing.

We all know that airline food is questionable. (Why else did all the comedians in the '90s tell jokes about it? WHAT'S THE DEAL?) One anonymous passenger on a recent Qantas flight is one of the select few who can still get away with making jokes about her in-flight meals. Dirty jokes. She posted a photo of the meal she was served to Facebook... and.... yikes. Get a load of this thing.

I know what you're thinking: "What IS that thing?" We here at Someecards have had many debates about it ourselves. Is it a penis? Is it a poop? Is it a poop shaped like a penis? Much to our surprise, it is none of those things. Apparently, it's a "root vegetable."

The passenger told News.com.au:

I asked the server what it was and he told me that it was a root vegetable. I asked him to pass me my phone so I could take a photo. I never take photos of food but this was too funny to pass up. He blushed and was very apologetic, I don’t think he had ever seen anything quite like it. The lady next to me was cracking up.

Can you blame them for cracking up? What else are you supposed to do when your dinner looks like a poop penis?

The airline told News.com.au that the "root vegetable" in question was in fact, a Japanese eggplant.

The dish pictured is Steamed Vegetarian Dumplings with Chilli Black Vinegar and Soy Dressing. The dumplings are accompanied with steamed Japanese Eggplant, which is used commonly in Asian meals. Based on this picture, we may look at renaming it Dumpling Surprise.

We're glad Qantas has a sense of humor about this whole thing.

Honestly, I was more shocked to find out that those other non-penis shaped things were dumplings. I definitely thought they were just slices of turkey from the deli counter scrunched up with spices on top. But now that you say dumplings, yes, I can see it. My bad.

The customer isn't holding it against the airline, and plans to use them again for her upcoming flight to Los Angeles. Maybe next time she should just ask for pizza.

One of the breakout stars of 2016, along with Felicity Jones and neo-Nazis, was the Merriam-Webster Twitter account. The dictionary—yes, dictionary—has been steadily (and savagely!) engaged with the Twitterverse, schooling the Internet just as lexicographers should.

Here are 11 times the Merriam-Webster was the best resource on Twitter.

1. When they made the definition the punchline.

2. When they stood up for LGBTQ rights.

3. When they tried to get Neil Gaiman to calm down.

4. When they plead for change.

5. When they straight-up burned Trump after his unpresidented presidential typo.

6. When they burned a whiny hater.

7. And another guy.

8. When they recapped the debates.

9. And election night.

10. When they chimed in on the great hotdog-sandwich debate.

11. Finally, when they helped you out with cute cats in the midst of the war of the words.

If you enjoyed Dr. Pimple Popper's Top Ten Cysts of 2016, Part One, we've got good news! There's more!

And if your lust for ooze still isn't satisfied, allow us to recommend her lists of the Top Ten Lipomas and Top Ten Dilated Pores of the year. They're stuffed to the brim with gold (and skin cells).

We'll keep bringing you these roundups as they drop. Just as soon as we watch them ourselves.
