After the stockings have been stowed and the fireworks extinguished, it may be tough to get out of bed in the morning.

Here comes the post-holiday funk. Try just one of these remedies, and we’re sure your former holiday cheer will be restored.

So, as you prepare for your official inauguration into the “real wold,” it’s time to ditch that cinder block in your pocket you call your cell phone.

Strip club’s food fails to wow

Somewhere between the straight-from-Winn-Dixie hamburger bun collapsing to pieces and side items like Ruffles potato chips (which, sadly, taste just like Ruffles potato chips) and one packet of “fancy ketchup,” one thing becomes clear: This restaurant lacks artistic risk.
