AskMen.com compiled a pretty great list of the 10 New Year's Resolutions All Men Should Make. Some of them are earnest (like "make an appointment for a checkup" and "help someone else") but some are really fun, funny suggestions.

My favorite is resolution #10 -- Build a shelf. It's my favorite, of course, because there's no way I'm building a shelf next year. Yeah right, Ask Men!

Check out the whole list here.

Here's a recipe for creating a viral video monster smash hit... Add two tablespoons of "Guitar Hero" with two tablespoons of amazing Christmas Lights footage and a dash of "cute kid." And... PRESTO! You've got Christmas Lights Hero.

YouTube user Kumbaric rigged his Christmas Lights to a Nintendo Wii and popped in a copy of Guitar Hero and the results are simply incredible. This is the Christmas lights video of the year, by a longshot. For more Christmas lights videos check out my article "5 Insane Christmas Lights Videos" now!

 What's Christmastime without an innapropriate theme song? A frew years back the Internet was gushing about Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake's "D*ck in A Box."  Good times were had by all. 

Right now, there's no undisputed champion of the dirty Christmas song, but I'd like to suggest one that SHOULD be 2009's Yuletide theme song -- The Nasty Midnighters' "Jingle These Balls." 

The 3 minute-long dirty Christmas, sex-rap tour-de-force is very, very dirty so keep the kids away. So send the tots next door, crank up your computer speakers and let the Nasty Midnighters serenade you until you're weak in the knees.

 It's been a few years since I've been out of college, so I guess I'm not "hip" to the trends. Like, what kinds of sweaters are cool to wear now. Or, are sweaters even cool any more? Were they ever? I guess not.

But thanks to the Internet, my one and only connection with the youth of today (outside of the scary teenagers who skateboard near my train station), I see there's a new and super hip way to take notes in class -- TYPEWRITERS! (thought I was gonna say iPhone, didn't you?)

Okay, so maybe just this one guy uses a typewriter to take notes in class. Doesn't matter. The video has appeared on Neatorama and here and a few other websites. It's hilarious. That means a lot of kids will see this video soon and, hopefully, a trend shall be born.

Typewriters in class? The future is here, people!

 Comedian/actor T.J. Miller had a couple unsuccessful auditions for a role as a park ranger in the upcoming Warner Brothers live action version of the beloved children's cartoon Yogi Bear.

So T.J. Miller got, well, creative and put together this fairly incredible, pretty funny video of himself auditioning with a real, live, somewhat grumpy bear.

Needless to say, T.J. Miller landed a part in the film.

 The Onion, the only news satire website that should be made required reading in every school, has pulled off a major coup -- they've plucked a real reporter, Suzanne Sena, from Fox News and added her to their Onion News Network, according to Media Bistro. 

You can see Sena's first video here and judge for yourself how different news satire really is from the actual news.

Neil Patrick Harris is a self-deprecating legend. Sure, he started his career in a somewhat self-serious role as the titular character of the child genius-becomes doctor drama Doogie Howser MD, but Harris found a second wind in his career mocking Doogie Hoswer AND himself in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (and its sequel). Well, now the prince of self-mockery has taken the next logical step and joined Twitter. And the results are FANTASTIC!

Here are some sample tweets:

My first tweet, peeps. I apologize in advance for my slow learning curve. Nice to (sort of) meet you. It's amazing how quickly 140 charac

(The joke being that Twitter only allows 140 characters per "tweet" and Neil, in his amazement of that 140 character limit, ran out of characters and cut off himself mid-sentence).

(The joke there? What if a well-spoken, well-educated actor wrote like a 12-year-old girl texting away on her first cell phone?)

The popular (and profane) Twitter account Shit My Dad Says is now being turned into a CBS sitcom (and a book!), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

If you're not familiar with Justin Halpern's truly hilarious twitter account, you don't know what you're missing -- the 29-year-old (formerly) down-on-his-luck writer transcribes funny, crazy, weird and just plain wild stuff his 73-year-old father says and posts it onto his twitter account.

At 140 characters (or less), Halpern gives us glimpses of his cantankerous (but loving) father. His father's loving (but often biting) words to his son have proved resonant -- the account has over 700,000 followers and Halpern has a book and TV deal.

This is not unprecedented. The blog Stuff White People Like was turned into a best-selling book and its creator, Christian Lander, has appeared on TV several times.

My question for Shit My Dad Says is this -- what's the show's censor-friendly new title going to be?

Sure, fashion, music and movies from the 1980s might be in style right now. But no one wants to do those crazy '80s aerobic workouts. Especially none called "The Body Flex Daily Workout". Because while we'd love to shed pounds doing as little work as possible, I think we've learned in the last 20 or so years that sticking our tongues out is not gonna cut it as a replacement for the elliptical.
