These hipsters need to be knocked down a peg. Fortunately, LATFH.com does just that. |

If you're like me, you spend almost your entire day staring at a computer monitor. Save a few meetings, bathroom breaks and lunch (though that's frequently eaten at my desk, too), I start to zone out a little if I don't do something to break up the day.
For me, it's not Facebook that's my diversion, and Twitter is mostly about work. If I need to take a pause from deep thoughts, I spend five minutes perusing a few old standby sites.
If you work in one of those offices where your IT people monitor and / or block your Web usage, then be forewarned: each of these 10 sites get a little "NSFW" from time to time.
On the other hand, if you have a laid-back office like I do -- where most of the wildly inappropriate links are being sent to me by my own co-workers -- then none of these will even make you blush.
Thus, I submit to you 10 of my favorite ridiculous Web sites, in no particular order, to break up the day:
Engrish.com: I've been visiting this site, off and on, for years. Something about poorly translated Japanese to English cracks me up.
AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com: We've all seen our friends' weird family portraits. This aggregates them all in one place -- and with snarky commentary, to boot.
TweetingTooHard.com: Apparently, I'm not the only one who wonders why anyone would care about random egomaniacs and their self-absorbed tweeting. This is site is too funny for following people addicted to Twitter, microblogging about how awesome they are.
DontEvenReply.com: A "Jerky Boys" for the digital age, the site follows the insane e-mail conversations spawned from phony replies to classified ads. So wrong, yet so funny.
ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com: A collection of sometimes delicious but always gluttonous recipes. And they're right, this is why I'm fat.
FUpenguin.com: I don't completely understand this Web site, but it makes me laugh. You can imagine what the "F.U." stands for, and its tagline is "A blog where I tell cute animals what's what." There you have it.
LATFH.com: One of the lesser SFW sites, "Look At The F*cking Hipster" pokes fun at the too-cool-for-school hipsters, knocking them down many pegs ... where they belong.
KeggersOfYore.com: Just a harmless little blog roll, chock full of retro party photos. More fun than it seems.
Highdeas.com: I'm not a stoner and never have been, but I still can appreciate their ridiculous -- and occasionally clever -- ideas. Here they are, all in one place.
TextsFromLastNight.com: A collection of absurd and inappropriate text messages, sent at that time of night when phones should be turned off. You can search by area code, too, which is especially funny if you want to see what kind of nonsense is being texted by your friends and neighbors in the 414. Definitely NSFW.

These are great. Love FUPenguin and Textsfromlastnight. I can sense that productivity in my department is going to take a slight dip.

I half expected the LATFH site to link back to the OnMilwaukee.com staff bios. You heard me.
