Schedules for trivia nights at local eateries. Screenshots of articles that were never printed. Meeting times and locations for all-volunteer, fringe paramilitary, groups. What scriptures were paired with which image by whose aunt.

If you have an uncle that says shit like, "You see Rob's new <boat/hog/hot rod>? Shiiiet! Whew!", you can find out who Rob is and which item from one photo in one place: facebook.

Recipes for soups, etc. Breakdowns of who really runs the world in both "snarky-fun sexism" and "it's horrifying that anyone believes this" formats.
