Good or bad, we'll let you decide...

Romance is clearly alive at the fair. In a portable toilet.

As fantasies go, we're a bit surprised a guy saying "yup" at the sight of you would rank near the top.

"I was tied to the bed." Not usually how people identify themselves.

Flirting happens everywhere -- even in ambulances and emergency departments.

Yes, well, ordering a side of ranch dressing with soup is... odd.

Maybe it wasn't his bum that was so eye catching, but rather what he was wearing.

He's trying to find his girlfriend a girlfriend.

The problem with spending a lot of your time with dead people: they don't make good friends.

A smile can make a big difference to someone.

An inadvertent experiment of what happens when you leave an iPad on the ESP.

The best time to sell your bouncy house is, of course, only months after the media was saturated with fear-mongering about the dangers of bouncy houses. Hilarious.

Talk about a business that's really exploded recently. I clicked on 30 or so of these, and only found a couple that have been around for longer than the past ten years! Here's hoping the next ten years are just as good for this business.
