The elaborate dinner ritual of the Queen's Corgis will make you wish you were a royal dog.

Ever since she was first gifted a Corgi on her 18th birthday, Queen Elizabeth II has been known for her affinity for the dog breed. Over the years, the now 89-year-old British monarch has had about 30 Corgis, all descended from her first pup, The Telegraph reported. As a royal, the Queen is able to lavish her prized pooches—currently, two Corgis and two Corgi-dachshunds—more than the average person.

The Queen and Prince Charles looking chic in 1960.

Dr. Roger Mugford, an animal behaviorist who has worked with the Queen's Corgis, detailed their dinner rituals to Town & Country. "At feeding times, each dog had an individually designed menu, including an array of homeopathic and herbal remedies," he said, in an interview excerpt The Telegraph obtained. Apparently, these meals can consists of foods like home-made gravy, filet, and scones for treats. 

The Queen's corgis running wild and free while visiting President Obama.

"Their food was served by a butler in an eclectic collection of battered silver and porcelain dishes," Dr. Mugford recalled. "As I watched, the Queen got the Corgis to sit in a semi-circle around her, and then fed them one by one, in order of seniority." That last part sounds almost normal. Honestly, the butler, silver dishes, and personalized meals aren't even that strange for Corgi lovers. 


Furry nails are in at New York Fashion Week, so now your fingernails can look like tiny shaggy pets.

Last week was New York Fashion Week, and that meant the introduction of cool nails. This year's most talked about nail trend has been the furry look sported by the models for Libertine, created by CND co-founder and creative director Jan Arnold

It's like each finger is topped with an adorable, docile fawn.

The manicures were created using brown and white polish and then a shiny top coat, before applying the faux fur.  

Forget rabbits' foot key chains (you should anyway), now there's rabbit fingers. 

Adventurous nail fanatics are already trying the technique and showing off their results on Instagram. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BCF7E94H3R6/?tagged=furrynails

In a press release, Arnold explained the inspiration for the manicures: "We were able to embody CND's Fall 2016 trend story, which is all about authenticity, hand-crafted artistry and embracing the beauty in raw imperfections."

Too bad the "trend story" isn't just "KITTENS!" That could be your trend story, though, should you decide to adopt some fur for your fingers.

Will you be rocking the furry nail look?

Eva Longoria's dramatic reading of 'Wannabe' by the Spice Girls will remind you how bizarre those lyrics were.

Since Eva Longoria currently stars in Telenovela, a TV show that goes behind the scenes of a fictional soap opera, she decided to make another fictional soap opera—out of the ridiculous lyrics from the Spice Girls hit "Wannabe."  

She did it to mark the end of her show's first season, which just so happened to match up nicely with the 20th anniversary of the Spice Girls debut album. It's fantastic. Because the only thing more ridiculous than soap opera acting are the lyrics to "Wannabe":

Turns out the Spice Girls had some pretty excessive use of the nonsense phrase "zigazig" and tended to just scream "ha" a lot in lieu of actual lyrics.

Leaked audio reveals 'Morning Joe' hosts chatting with Trump about what questions are OK to ask.

Presidential candidate and part-time insult comic Donald Trump can be heard asking the hosts of Morning Joe to ask him "nothing too hard" in an audio clip leaked by Harry Shearer, a comedian known as the voice behind many beloved Simpson's characters.

Just some good buddies keeping it professional on camera.

According to Mediaite, Shearer played the clip on his weekly radio program Le Showafter alleging hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough were more buddy-buddy with Trump than journalistic integrity should allow. 

Between segments, the mic caught Trump, Scarborough, and Brzezinski chatting about questions:

Brzezinski: Do you not want me to do, the, um, the ones with, um, deportation?

Scarborough: We really do have to go to some questions.

Trump: That's right. Nothing too hard, Mika.

It's not clear if Trump was joking or not, but no questions about deportation were posed to Trump later in the interview. The business mogul also told the hosts to leave Trump-basher Ron Fournier out of the conversation, which they also obliged.    

"This will make us all look good," Trump reportedly said to Brzezinski and Scarborough between segments.

In another portion of the clip, the three indulge in some mutual admiration.

Brzezinski: You know what I thought was kind of a wow moment, was the guy you brought up on stage.

Scarborough: We played it several times this morning.

Trump: I watched your show this morning. You have me almost as a legendary figure, I like that.

There's no denying the widely-reviled candidate can work the media like a bulldozer knocking over an old widow's home for a limousine parking lot. What's more shocking is how he hasn't lost every one of his friends on his ascent to becoming America's most powerful national embarrassment.

You can now use YouTube as an instrument to play the Imperial March on a frog.

Almost 11 years after YouTube was founded, someone finally figured out its true purpose: using your computer's keypad to manipulate a video of a screaming frog so that it plays John Williams' "Imperial March" from the Star Wars movies. Truly, it is morning on the Internet again. The video itself, as mentioned, is of a frog letting out one continuous screaming squawking high-pitched croak. The numbers 1-0 on your keyboard, however, automatically skips to 10% through the video if you press 1, 20% if you press 2, and so on. In order to play the "Imperial March" simply press 6, 6, 6, 8, 5, 6, 8, 5, 6, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5, 6, 8, 5, 6 (sequence for the full song and other songs below). If you're reading this on mobile, scroll down to the second video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BXRjfj6cv0

(As a side note, the final squeal of the frog sounds like the end of "Karma Police" by Radiohead.) Here is the sequence for a longer version of the "Imperial March":

Unfortunately, this doesn't work great on a phone—unless you somehow still have a Blackberry—so here's a video of someone doing it successfully, so you can see it's possible. Frankly, they should have played it a little slower. It also would be nice if they didn't make the frog say "weed poop" in the image, but you blog with the videos you have, not the videos you wish you had.

This guy?

Well, he's super good-looking now, which, on the Internet, is the best revenge for mean-spirited viral fame you can hope for.

Crocker now works as a comedian and a singer, though several years ago he apparently dabbled with a porn career.

Take heart, kids: no matter how awkward your teenage years, there's still a chance that, someday, you'll be hot enough that people will want to pay money to watch you have sex.

Tourist testing his zoom lens gets noticed by creepy guy in the crowd. Then the guy comes for him.

Reddit user thesleeb posted a video of a very, very creepy encounter while using the 200x zoom on his new camera in Spain. It seems as though the man in the shot can tell he is being recorded, but the distance between the mystery man and the camera indicates that he is a trained spy or maybe an eagle that has shape-shifted into human form:

https://youtu.be/dIaWFFUsO0c

The video made viewers on Reddit ask a lot of questions, and the camera man answered them the best he could:

  • I do not know this guy, and wasn't initially filming him. I noticed him standing under the red kiosk umbrella (the furthest my camera could zoom), and then he just kept looking at me. I was really giddy and freaked out, and that's why the video ends quite abruptly. I just packed up my camera and left in order to carry on living.

  • It is indeed in Bilbao, Spain, just a couple of weeks ago.

  • Music is from the amazing sequence in South Park 'Cash 4 Gold' episode

  • A growing consensus suggests he may be on the FBI Most Wanted List.

Here is the FBI Most Wanted profile he was referencing:

Nothing like some sleuths on Reddit to add a little intrigue to an already intriguing story (and maybe spread a rumor that a perfectly innocent guy is actually a criminal). While the FBI theory is interesting, it seems more likely that someone on the run would disappear if they noticed a camera, instead of walking towards it. But that still does not answer why that guy walked towards the camera, or what he would have done to the camera man. That's a question that will haunt him, and the Internet, forever. And thesleeb will probably never go on vacation in Spain ever again.

Girl wakes up from wisdom teeth removal thinking she's Kylie Jenner, which is horrifying except for she has a mansion now.

The latest in the long line of kids waking up from wisdom teeth removals only to embarrass themselves is this girl, Emma. In this video posted by Alisha Zamora (what are friends for if not to film your viral misery?), Emmy apparently came out of her surgery with a new identity: Kylie Jenner. It may seem random, but the spark for this confusion was simple: Emma's lips are really swollen. It's not so much this discovery that threw Emma off, but the conclusion that her parents must be Kris and Caitlyn. That's when her mind melts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhTZQb5XFWQ

"My life is so crazy," Emma mumbled, before correcting herself that she doesn't want to go home to her mere house, but her mansion. It's a good catch.

Kylie Jenner's Instagram has yet to suggest that her spirit has been transferred to Emma's body.

Millennial woman destroys her uncle in Facebook argument about her generation wanting 'free stuff.'

Millennials have gotten a bad rap in the media, and despite their best efforts, the belief that Gen Y is lazy and entitled persists. Imgur user myothertardisisafirebolt uploaded a conversation she had on Facebook with her uncle where she makes it very clear that this stereotype is inherently faulty and does not apply to her. 

The 22-year-old's takedown of her 48-year-old uncle—titled "When you finally get tired of that one super right-wing uncle posting stupid sh*t on Facebook..."—started when her uncle shared a post advertising "free stuff."

Myothertardisisafirebolt responded to the post by asserting that many people are seeking affordable—not free—education. After her uncle failed to pick up on this point, myothertardisisafirebolt thoroughly schooled him on how the current education system is failing.

Her uncle condescendingly responded to her long-winded reply by deflecting blame on democrats and those who are "getting the free ride." In turn, myothertardisisafirebolt expanded even more on her belief that the previous generation put Millennials in the tough place they are now in. 

Her uncle chose not to respond. However, he did call her mom, who apparently"laughed hysterically" and opted not to be involved in the spat between her brother and daughter. One can only imagine what Thanksgiving will be like at their house. 

Regular customer at Mexican restaurant insulted by employee who assumed she knew no Spanish.

If you're deciding whether to drop by Casa Mexicana in Sherwood, Arkansas, you may want to skip the Yelp reviews and listen to what this insulted customer has to say. After finishing her meal, one loyal customer claims that one of the staff insulted her weight on a receipt, assuming she wouldn't understand. The cruel insult on the receipt came as a total shock for Rebecca Rummerfield, who eats at the Mexican restaurant three times a week with her boyfriend.

https://youtu.be/Kz6tONHIMoM

"I noticed on the line where it said customer for our tab, it said, 'X Gordo,' which means extra fat in Spanish," Rummerfield said. "It really hurt my feelings because I have a thyroid disease and I used to be extremely skinny. But my weight is out of my control right now. I take medication for it."

Here's an up-close look at the receipt:
 

This is one way of getting your dumb arse fired.

Rummerfield told Arkansas Matters that she knows each of the servers by name and “there was no reason to have anything like that on the receipt." After having seen the receipt, Rummerfield quickly spoke to the manager of the restaurant. "He said it was someone else's tab," she said. 

However, when she confronted the bartender he told her something completely different:

I went back to the bar and said, 'Well, why did we pay someone else's tab? Can we get our correct tab?,' And that's when the bartender proceeded to tell me that he did write that, and he did mean it in a derogatory fashion.

Rummerfield who is a server herself, said: "I would never write anything regarding anyone's looks, race, anything like that on their receipt."

At least he cleared up any ambiguity around his insult. Rummerfield said that she will never go back to Casa Mexicana after the horrible incident. The manager apologized to her for the bartender's atrocious slander, and, yup, the bartender's arse was fired.

This perspective-shifting painting by artist Patrick Hughes in the Birmingham Art Gallery in England will put your mind in total disbelief. If you look at the painting straight on, it looks normal, but as soon as you move around, the seemingly two-dimensional painting suddenly turns into some dream-sequence-level magic. It is a piece of 3D art created with an optical illusion called “reverspective” where "the closest part of the picture appears to be the furthest away."

Jamba Juice responds to the Adele/Ellen prank by creating a 'Swishy Chug' website.

Last week, Ellen DeGeneres and Adele played a hilarious prank on some Jamba Juice employees by having Adele pose as herself, only strange and demanding. Adele carried a purse containing a roll of toilet paper, a bottle of liquor, handcuffs (which she handed to her to the person playing her assistant, saying," You're supposed to have those"), a pair of scissors, lots of loose change, and some Twizzlers (one of which she graciously hands to the employee behind the counter after dumping out her whole bag, Breakfast Club-style).

So, this week Jamba Juice decided to capitalize on one of the funniest parts of the gag—Adele's assertion that while England doesn't have Jamba Juice, they do have something similar: "Swishy Chug." According to Adele (via Ellen), Swishy Chug is a smoothie made from "some type of beet and potato mixed together."  

"All Hail the Quench."

Swishy Chug may not be real (sad news to Russians everywhere), but the coupon is—click the yellow button and you'll be taken to a page with a $2 discount for a Jamba Juice. Just remember—you can't pay in knives and they won't add your liquor for you.

A few days ago, Fox released a quick Simpsons clip featuring the cast of 2016's American Idol. Oh, wait, no. It's a video of the serious cast of characters running in this year's presidentialfield.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CHQlZiJ8YM

Besides the startlingly crisp animation (if you haven't watched The Simpsons in, say, 20 years), the clip is downright classic. 

"It's just like when you have a bad dream, except this is real and will probably ruin your lives. Go to Flanders, and tell him you're spending the night," Homer tells the kids. Too bad a sleepover at the Flanders' house can't shelter the rest of the world from the Ted Cruz-Donald Trump-Marco Rubio-Hillary Clinton-Bernie Sanders bar fight currently raging every hour of the day.

There's a long way to go until November, but luckily no matter who wins, The Simpsons will always be with us. The show is as unflinching and immortal as Donald Trump's image.
