Let’s see what everyone’s carrying around today. Empty your pockets and comment below.
Culture Buzz Let's see who has the coolest. Post an image in the comments, please, and by all means feel free to explain its significance.
Music Buzz Go to your iTunes (or Last.fm, or whatever equivalent music service you use) and sort by play count. Then post a video of the song you've played the most in the comments. Are you proud or embarrassed?
Music Buzz Post a video response in the comments, please! This question inspired by today's (always wonderful) Creative Mornings.
Culture Buzz A collection of pictures from the ~golden age~ of arcades. Thanks to I Heart Chaos for the incredible find.
Tech Buzz What's the most recent image you have saved to your desktop? Upload that bad boy in the comments and we'll see whose is the best! Unless it's, like, pornographic or something, in which case maybe just sit this one out.
Music Buzz What is the best song to sing in the shower? Turns out a lot of people have a top shower jam that they like to sing. What's yours? Let's do the world a favor and make the ultimate shower playlist. Add a video in the comments.
Celebrity Buzz A Bon Jovi party game is so topical right now! Also called “Whoah-Oh…Something That Rhymes With Prayer Game.” Basically just sing the extremely catchy hook from Bon Jovi's song “Livin' On A Prayer” except change the lyrics to something more hilarious. Add yours!
New meme, you guys! The awesome, unflappable, clearly stoned birthday dog has started showing up everywhere. Use the image editor to make an already awesome situation even better by adding Birthday Dog. Here's mine: Birthday dog is more or less totally stoked about Conan O'Brien's extended vacation. Add yours!
[Ed Note: The cheat notes on Sarah Palin's hand are front page news today. But what did she really have written there?! Use this handy transparency to add your own suggestion below!]
Conan's not the only talk show host who needs your help! Who else can you think of who could probably do a hell of a lot better job than Leno in the 11:35 spot? Add your suggestions.
Music Buzz Let's make a collaborative mixtape from Hell. Excluding anything written by Nickelback ('cuz that's too easy), what would you say is the absolute worst song produced during the last decade? Post videos!
Music Buzz Until a one-two punch of La Bouche and Ace of Base caused a rogue faction to cut the power, we were having '90s music nostalgia day in the BuzzFeed office today. But that's no reason the musical nostalgia-fest can't continue online! What was the first record you owned? Comment below, or better yet, upload a music video from the album. Points will be awarded for general awesomeness.
Politics Buzz Here are five images from yesterday's Presidential speech on healthcare. Download them, add text or alter them as you see fit, then combine two or more of them in some form to tell a story. Let's see what we can come up with!
Beatles Rock Band comes out tomorrow, so you can finally butcher classic Beatles songs in the comfort of your home. While we wait, let's do a collaborative version of the same concept on BuzzFeed! Go to YouTube, search for covers of your all-time favorite Beatles song, then post the best/worst result. Here's mine - screamo band Thrice doing “I've Just Seen A Face.” Ouch.
Here's one I made for a Microsoft site directed at businessmen who are into Furry Hentai. [Note: Microsoft did a terrible job PhotoShopping a black guy out of their website for a promotion in Poland. And now they are in full apology mode. Let's help them out. Take this original image and fix it in a way that it is appealing to a different demographic!]
Go to YouTube and type in the name of your hometown or the town you grew up in + the word “reprazent”. Find a video that speaks to you and post it in this thread. Let's see whose hometown reprazents the hardest! Here's mine. It's pretty hardcore. Hopefully someone can do better.
Celebrity Buzz Who was it?! Submit a picture or a story, or just a name. Let's see who's got the most famous ex-classmate. Of the BuzzFeed editors, only Peggy went to high school with famous people, but they're big winners - Peyton and Eli Manning. They are famous quarterbacks. Who've you got?
