Reason We Love Stan Lee #458: This Video of Him Reciting ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas [VIDEO]

He gets really into this it, but that’s no surprise. I think he’s constitutionally incapable of not committing 115% to anything he chooses to do. If scientists were somehow able to bottle his energy it’d probably be enough to power the city of New York for six months.

Happy Christmas to all, and to all…I don’t think that’s how that goes, Stan.

Whatever. He’s Stan Lee. He can do what he wants.

The Future Is Now!

Here Is What to Do For That Hangover You’re Going to Have

Since your resolution to drink less doesn’t start until tomorrow, some of you (okay, us) will be drinking some alcohol tonight. If you can find yourself in a safe, trustworthy situation that includes a designated driver (or a sober cabbie), we strongly encourage responsible imbibery, because such an experience will result in the creation of words such as “imbibery.” (No, I have not started celebrating early.) However, be aware that unless you have superhuman powers or are a super scientist with a miracle cure, there is a very good chance that the alcohol you consume will give you a hangover tomorrow. And if curling up into a fetal position and praying for sweet, sweet death isn’t your idea of a cure, we have a few tips for you that will 1. help you get over a hangover and 2. possibly prevent an extra horrible one.

Okay, some people know what “Auld Lang Syne” means, and some might even know some, most, or even all of its lyrics. But why do we sing it at New Year’s … and what does it mean, anyway?

Depressed yet? Come inside, we will learn this together.
