2011 will go down in the annals of Dudedom, more than anything else, for the birth of the Dude’s List. Originally meant to be a one-time post, you folks just wouldn’t let me stop churning out these zany Top 11-16 lists every two weeks. And I can’t thank you enough for it! Completely self-generated and always plunging over the cliff of controversial material, the Dude’s List has gone on to become a must-read on CollegeCandy.com and that’s got everything to do with you. Let’s take a look back and bask at 10 of the best Dude’s Lists this year. Read More »

It’s that time of the year where we all reflect on what we did and did not do, get wasted on eggnog, and then design a new set of principles to follow that will guarantee an improved New Year. However, right now, we’re still in that first part where we’re looking back. With a feeling of fondness and “awwww” I share with all of you, dear readers, my most special 10 Ask A Dude columns of 2011. Read More »

Oh the 1990s/2000s. It feels as if they were just a couple years ago. Well, I guess they were. Still, that doesn’t mean that we can’t reminisce about the things we loved and so desperately wish we were allowed to embrace today. I love my yorkie, but she is definitely no “Puppy Surprise” (sorry Emma!) and my black textured tights are, whatever, but I so very much miss my neon polka dotted stirrup legging pants that matched with… absolutely nothing!

So let’s run through the fads we love or love to hate and have a blast from the past. Did I miss any? Call me out in the comments and post your favorite (or least favorite) fads from your youth!

10. Tamagotchi
Did anyone else have four of these? Plus a couple Giga Pets for good measure? Between my Tamagotchis and Furbies, it was probably for the best we didn’t have a household pet. Something was always beeping or squawking or crying to be fed at any given moment of the day. No wonder they got banned from schools. Not to mention, getting your Tamagotchi confiscated was probably the equivalent to getting your alcohol confiscated by your RA. Or worse! Who was going to feed him? And clean up his poop? Not cool.

9. Body Glitter
Slow jamming to “I Want it That Way” at a middle school dance just wasn’t quite right if you weren’t bedecked in a Gap tank top, white shorts and covered in head to toe body glitter with impeccably crimped hair. Sigh. The glory days. Read More »

Every week I make a list. Not a grocery list or a to-do list…or that list, because I don’t really do groceries (there is a reason why they deliver pizza) and to-do lists are totally not my scene (if such a scene even exists) and, unfortunately, I haven’t added to that list in quite awhile.

No, this list is a top ten-style countdown about the hard-hitting issues, like which mash-ups are the best ever or which apps rock my world.

This week I’m focusing on the “click click flash” that consumes your weekend. You go out, someone inevitably breaks out the camera (every 4 minutes) and you start posing like you’re ready for the cover of Nylon. Great idea, but these pictures are going to end up on Facebook for the world to see the next day when you’re sober. Oof. And with today’s technology, you might be even caught in real time.

Who’s guilty?
Actually, who isn’t? Read More »

I'm not listening! I can't hear you!

I’m a huge fan of lists. Not to-do lists or grocery lists or my “list” (you know which one I’m talking about), but lists of things with bold faced sections that I can read through quickly and have a little chuckle. Or lists where I can vent my pent up frustration that I have been holding onto for years in hopes that the people at the root of that frustration will see the list, change their ways and make my life a whole lot more pleasant.

And that is what’s happening here. There are some people out there – lots of them – who say some pretty annoying stuff, so this week I’m gonna lay out the 10 most annoying phrases of all time. If you say any of these things, please stop. If you constantly say them all, please never come near me. Especially if I’m holding anything sharp.

10. “Just Sayin’”
End every sentence with this, really. Like I didn’t know you were saying something.

9. “On the real”
No. No. Not on the real. It’s been real, “on the real”. For real

8. “What the hey”
So cheesy, Chester Cheeto can’t even deal.

7. “Catch ya on the flip flop”
What does this even mean? Other than the obvious: don’t be my friend. Read More »
