If you've ever for one moment felt bad about yourself for going to Walmart dressed in your pajamas, with wet hair, without your make-up on, etc, take a look at the strange creatures of PeopleOfWalmart.com, and think again. The site features candid snapshots of funny, odd and sometimes unsettling people, cars and situations in Wallyworlds nationwide. Anyone can contribute to this reader composed photo site so if you've got consent and a weird Walmart photo, send it in. I'd love to see the Auburn or Opelika Walmart represented. God knows I'm seen some characters on late night trips that warranted photo or video documentation.

Try and wrap your head around these amazing surrealist photos by 24-year-old Sweden-based photographer Erik Johansson. He takes everyday, mundane scenes and manipulates them so seamlessly, it's hard to tell where the reality ends and where the photoshop begins.

Photoshop, make up and lighting can do amazing things. This spread from Vogue Paris's November issue is proof.

Last week when I signed up to bring a "broccoli salad" to the office potluck, I met resistance from more than a few skeptics. But miraculously by the time I made it downstairs to survey the sloppy second selections that the first shift had snubbed, my salad was nowhere to be found. I guess the results speak for themselves. Here's my secret to potluck success:

1 bunch broccoli, chopped
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3/4 c. raisins

Dressing:
1 c. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. white vinegar
1/4 c. sugar

Stir dressing ingredients together. Pour dressing over other ingredients. Stir. Enjoy.

Insurance dot com released a list of their "Top 10 Most Dangerous Foods to Eat While Driving" a few weeks ago, and the foods and people who eat them have been the butt of many late night TV jokes ever since. But no matter what Chelsea Handler says (she's probably just hungry anyway), I won't hate on a chili dogs, jelly donuts or especially wings, because they all hold a special place in my heart and stomach. I will, however, continue to enjoy them at baseball games, breakfast buffets and all you can eat nights and not on the road.

Here's the complete list for your own personal safety, or guilt, because I know you're already drinking a coffee on the way to work:

Top 10 foods to avoid while driving

1. Coffee. Even with a travel lid, hot coffee can find its way out of the opening when you hit a bump.
2. Hot soup. Many people drink it like coffee and run the same risks.
3. Tacos. Any food that can disassemble itself will leave your car looking like a salad bar.
4. Chili dogs. Huge potential for drips and slops down the front of clothing.
5. Hamburgers. From the grease to the toppings, it could end up on your hands and the steering wheel.
6. Ribs and wings. What's more distracting than licking your fingers?
7. Fried chicken. More greasy hands. You've got to wipe them off while you're driving.
8. Jelly donuts. It's not possible to eat one without watching the center ooze out.
9. Soda. Carbonation. Fizz in the nose. Lids that leak. Disaster.
10. Chocolate. Try to clean melted chocolate off the steering wheel without swerving.

Wedding processions are generally so predictable, which is why this video of a church wedding caught me by surprise.
