#1 – National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Starring: Chevy Chase & Randy Quaid

From: 1989

Funniest Moment: Though the entire movie is worth a thousand laughs, the shining moment has to be when Cousin Eddie arrives and Clark does a double take. From there, it’s all gut busting laughs.

Eddie: Naw, I’m doing just fine, Clark.

Sperm Donation-Potential Income $48,000 Per Year

Heck, it’s the one job you’ve been training for since middle school!

Sperm Donor Class of ‘88

And the opportunities are only as limited as your own libido. For just a couple minutes of their time a typical donor can net around $100 for an Anonymous donation and up to $500 for an Open I.D. donation. Keep in mind that compensation is based strictly upon the region, individual bank, and of course whether or not you’re ugly. Open I.D. donors have accessible files that clients can look into online to see whether or not her future baby daddy was a cute baby, has dark hair, or claims the I.Q. of a small dog.

The process is fairly simple. A back round check of you and your immediate family will guarantee that you aren’t a freak show, and basic health screenings will prove that you can physically handle the gauntlet of porn they’re about to throw you into. That’s right, these folks want your semen, and they’re making it easy for you to fulfill their desires by putting you in a nice quiet room with a bunch of porn. See, you’re getting turned on already and we haven’t even shown you to the room.

Check in, do the deed, and deliver your sample to the nurse’s face. Nah, you’ll drop it off at the check out desk where you can make your appointment for the next week. That’s right, the Sperm Bank of New England tells us that it is required that donors make deposits every week, and are encouraged to come in every 3 days! Some donors are known to donate to more than one sperm bank every week and they are thus able to secure a reasonable monthly income, around $4000. With more than 500 sperm banks in the U.S. an extra randy fellow could travel and donate to several each day. At even $100 a load (get it, load!), and shortages of qualified donors, your willy could net you hundreds of thousands a year.

But, the donation gravy train doesn’t end with sperm. Women too can get in on the action by donating eggs. And we’re more than a little jealous at the money opportunities here. Supply and demand however plays a major role in ability for a woman to receive between $5,000 and $10,000 per Cycle.

It’s also encouraged that you refer a friend, family member, or co-worker to receive a nice $750 bonus. If you’re like us and have a lot of friends, well, you’re set to clean up.

My network… of sperm donors.

According to the Xytex Corporation, around 75,000 children are born every year in the United States thanks to the efforts of Sperm Donors.

“You’re welcome.”

And it seems that new issues pop up every day where Donor Dads are getting into trouble. Just last December a case went to court where a Sperm Donor was forced into paying for child support. So, if you went for the bigger check and chose Open I.D. Donation, get ready to have your life ruined in 18 years when you have to send your 900 kids to college.

Street Entertainers-Potential Income $25,000 A Year

We’ve all seen guy with a guitar hanging out by the subway station with his case opened before him. And you’ve probably dropped a quarter in feeling sorry for the poor homeless man. But, don’t let the sad song he’s playing fool you. He’s just doing his job as a busker. And that job can pay anywhere from $10 to $20 an hour depending on how good the he is and where he’s located. Most of that income is had on busy nights people are out seeking entertainment on the town.

World Famous Johnnie Mac has dedicated himself to the future of Street Entertaining and has written a book on the subject. “The Art of Successful Busking” covers everything from what to do, where to do it, to of course proper placement of your tip jar/hat/bucket. Johnnie tells us on his website that he’s been a street performer for over 15 years, and during that time he has succeeded in “traveling the world, meeting amazing people, making new friends, getting job offers in the entertainment industry, and living the life of my dreams.” And the best part in his mind was the fact that he was “making a fortune… in fact, more than triple what I was making in the job I left behind. In many cases I was making 5-6 times what my friends were were making and doing it in a much shorter time.”

Of course not everyone is going to make it big right away, but, for many, busking is a means to an end. A step toward stardom. The Blue Man Group, Jimmy Buffet, Pierce Brosnan, George Burns, Bob Hope, Jewel, Jimmy Page, Penn and Teller, Rod Stewart, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and Robin Williams all started their entertainment careers on the streets.

This is none of the people listed above but he’s probably loaded.

Even Moby, who is labeled as a mainstream artist, takes to the street from time to time to pay homage to busking roots. He recently performed a show in the Sloane Square Subway Station in London. Local travelers, tourists, and homeless alike were all equally annoyed.

Street entertainers have been around for a long time and there’s plenty of ways of making a living no matter what your talent is: playing instruments, miming, performing comedy routines, fortune telling, and the ever popular living statue. There it is, the perfect job for your deadbeat roommate!

“Hey this chick’s great! But the guy could use a little work.”

It’s perfectly legal in most places as long as you don’t interfere with traffic and business. But, where you don’t have to fight the community, conflicts and fights over pitch do happen. Career buskers may try to maintain a “right of pitch” over others. Generally it is considered first come, first served. But,  And there’s even a sort of “Busker Code” that street entertainers follow which basically states “This is my street corner, and if you try and set up shop here, I’ll stab you.”

Human Guinea Pig-Potential Income $50,000 A Year

Science and health care go hand in hand. And for as long as mankind has been practicing medicine, we’ve been essentially experimenting. Kind of, crossing our fingers hoping we don’t fuck this up. But, the key to science is trial and error. For every experiment there has to be a variable and a constant. You friends, can now get paid to be that variable!

Best part is, anyone can do it. According to Covance, a large testing firm, “Volunteer compensation is based upon time and participation, thus the greater the time commitment, the higher the stipend. You will receive payment in the form of a check which can be directly deposited into your checking or savings account.”

Those checks can really add up too. One current study that consisted of two stays of 2 days/1 night showed that participants will receive all study-related exams at no cost and will receive $1,500 for time and participation. Not bad for a couple days work. Covance has Test Centers in Indiana, California, Wisconsin, Texas, and several other states.

If taking pills isn’t your thing, many medical schools like Georgetown and the University of Kentucky have programs that allow civilians to become a  “standardized patient”—a trained person who is paid $15 an hour to be poked and prodded by inexperienced fingers. By using this method, students have the opportunity to make life hell for people that aren’t sick and get the training they need at the same time.

The history of the human guinea pigs first finds root in recorded history around 300 B.C. A couple of fellas named Herophilos and Erasistratus are credited with the establishment of the first great medical school in Alexandria. Both men were instrumental in the discovery of the workings of the human body including the circulatory system, the eyes, and the nervous system. With the addition of being great scientists, many believe them to also be great murderers. Their patients were prisoners that were vivisected against their will.

“Hey, Herophilos look. This dude is also really gross on the inside.”

Of course, things have gotten better today right?

“Last week, six very healthy men suddenly wound up in a London hospital in critical condition.”

Well, other than that.

“Earlier this month, 11 otherwise well people tested positive for tuberculosis, according to Montreal’s health department.”

And that.

Truth is, studies today are much safer than they’ve ever been, and are essential because the use of animal testing is limited by the fact that the test subjects are animals. And it doesn’t matter how many cute outfits we put them in, that fact remains.

Sure, he may be an executive, but he’s still a monkey.

Begging- Potential Income $100,000 A Year

Sure, begging isn’t anybody’s cup of tea, and it’s certainly nothing you’d want to brag about at your class reunion. But, when the possibility arises to make money for nothing, you know you want a piece. How does $300 a day sound? That’s exactly how much a police survey found panhandlers outside Wal-Mart in Coos Bay, Oregon can make. Inside, it takes a clerk a week to make that much. The Police Chief in Coos Bay says that most of these people have lived in the city for some time, and even have homes. “This is just their chosen profession.” We’re pretty sure that if this whole internet thing falls through, we know what to fall back on.

We almost feel bad for even bringing up begging as an employment opportunity. That was right up until we saw this news story.

The news piece goes behind the scenes, and by scenes we mean around the corner with a camera, to spy on a girl who panhandles for a living. Her gimmick is that she was living with her boyfriend and he kicked her out. Now she just needs to raise a little money to buy a bus ticket to get back home. Sad story huh? Would you like to send her some money to help her out? Shouldn’t be a problem since she lives in a fucking house.  When the reporter asks her about her living situation, she says “Man, you just don’t know what it’s like.” At least she’s honest. We don’t know what it’s like to scam someone.

The camera crew interviews passerby’s who have given her money, and they figure up that her potential income could be around $27,000. Yeah, we know it’s crazy, we did the research! Just to give you a comparison, according to Careers-in-finance.com, the starting salary for a Credit Analyst with a Bachelor’s Degree: $27,000.

But the panhandling job market isn’t limited to America. The options are wide open if you want to travel as well. Russian journalists discovered a whole village of panhandlers, in the Republic of Mordovia. Local specialists say that Naiman panhandlers can make up to 40,000 rubles a month (about $2,500).

In case you’re thinking of picking up a new career, please check out this handy “How to Guide for Panhandling.” The guide covers everything from swallowing pride and location to the importance of cleanliness and sending Christmas gifts out to your regular suckers, err…benefactors.

Dumpster Diving-Potential Income $100,000+ A Year

The “art” of Dumster Diving is the only job from this list that hosts a site dedicated to it’s craft, that is for Members Only, Dumsterworld.com. Dumpster divers are a proud bunch, and that’s because they don’t want you in on it. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure; and in this case, their bankroll.

The true prize of dumpster diving is scrap material. Many metals are selling at all time highs on the market. Copper, Steel, Iron, Aluminum, and Tin all fetch fair prices at recycling stations and scrap yards. According to the City of Cincinatti Ohio’s Recycling website, Americans discard 2 million tons of aluminum cans a year. That’s 4 billion pounds, half of which you probably tossed in beer cans just last week. A pound of aluminum is currently worth 97 cents. That’s approximately $3,880,000,000 in potential income. How’s that for an answer to the National Debt? Sure, the average Dumpster Diver will never be able to gather all of those cans. Unless they’re some giant trash gathering monster, and if that’s the case, they might want to look into world domination as a profession.

The keen eye of a Dumpster Diver can locate discarded items that add up to big dollar signs that others see no use for and turn a profit on those items. It’s all a matter of need really. It’s things like old computers, entertainment equipment, furniture, and most importantly scrap metals that will bring in the most profit for a diver of dumpsters.

Jackpot Bitches!

The truth is, everything has value if you have a buyer. Petroleum wasn’t worth a dime until the modern machinery found it’s way into the world. Many divers find items that have been discarded and are still usable. Sure, you may not need that vibrator anymore, but a dumpster diver probably has someone on their Christmas list that does!

Other Dumpster Divers turn trash into art. The folks at Scrapyard Sculptures turn scrap metal into art. The artists sell action figures, lawn art, and more on their website. The items are built from mostly discarded scrap metal and the average item sells for around $20. Some high ticket items sell for a couple hundred.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Whether it be jerking off, singing a song, running on a human sized hamster wheel, bothering your neighbors for cash, or sifting through the trash for tin can, there are lots of creative ways to make ends meet. Sure, none of them are something you’d want to mention you do to that person you’re dating… but if it means the difference between driving a Hugo or a Hummer, the argument’s already been decided. We for one are gonna head to our “office” and make a “deposit” at the “bank”.

What the hell is that?

Everytime we have a runny nose, stomach ache, or elevated temperature, our Moms are tossing nasty tasting stuff down our throats. It only get’s better as we get old, the elderly pretty much live on a diet of pills.

Yum!

But, man, some of these medicines have some pretty scary warnings. It’s not a matter of “which ones” either, because pretty much every medicine that does anything, has a warning, side effect, or caution that would give anyone the heebie jeebies. Sure, it might cure your itchy bug bite, but if it can also turn your hair green you might think twice.

Can barely feel the itch anymore!

Here’s some common Medicines That Have The Freakiest Warnings, enjoy!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Medicine: Advair

What It Does: Treats Asthma and Long-Term Lung Disease

Why It’s On This List: “WARNING: LONG-ACTING BETA-AGONISTS SUCH AS SALMETEROL, AN INGREDIENT IN THIS MEDICINE, HAVE BEEN RARELY ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASED RISK OF ASTHMA-RELATED DEATH.”

No, we didn’t choose to capitalize all of those letters just to put emphasis on how scary that warning is. An asthma medicine that kills people with an asthma related death. Now wait a minute. Where’d the go wrong in the planning of this? We’re not doctors, but surely a medicine should do the opposite of what the disease does, right? That’s like saying, “Sure Mr. Smith, we can help with your Alligator problem, we’re just gonna line the perimeter of your home with a moat filled with Crocodiles.”

Hey, all of the gators are gone, you can come out now.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Medicine: Ambien

What It Does: Sleep Aid

Why It’s On This List: “SOME PATIENTS TAKING THIS MEDICINE have performed certain activities while they were not fully awake. These have included sleep-driving, making and eating food, making phone calls, and having sex. Patients often do not remember these events after they happen.”

So this is a like the equivalent of getting totally trashed out of your mind. Alcohol also makes you very sleepy. People also tend to think they can still drive, they get hungry, they drunk dial, and they have sex. They also never remember any of that happening.

No I’m not drunk… she is, but I’m fine… seriously.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Medicine: Paxil

What It Does: Anti-Depressant/Anxiety Relief

Why It’s On This List: “FOR MEN: If you experience a prolonged, painful erection, stop using this medicine and seek immediate medical attention or permanent problems could occur.”

The best part is that the company felt the need to say, “Hey, this warning is for guys only.” As if a woman would be reading the back of her medicine bottle, see that she might indeed suffer a hurtful hard-on, and throw the medicine away. It’s frightening that something so awesome, boner; could be paired with something so terrible, prolonged pain. But, perhaps the scariest part of this warning. “Permanent problems could occur.” That gives us goosebumps, because the problems hinted at here, are for guys only. And the only thing guys have that women don’t, is something that we never, EVER want to have permanent problems with.

You may feel a little discomfort while taking this medicine.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Medicine: Ibuprofen

What It Does: Treats Mild Pain

Why It’s On This List: “CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience sharp or crushing chest pain; sudden shortness of breath; sudden leg pain; sudden severe headache, vomiting, dizziness, or fainting; changes in vision; numbness of an arm or leg; slurred speech; one-sided weakness; sudden unexplained weight gain; change in amount of urine produced; severe or persistent stomach pain; vomit that looks like coffee grounds; black tarry stools; itching, reddened, swollen, blistered, painful, or peeling skin; yellowing of the skin or eyes; dark urine; right-sided tenderness; severe or persistent tiredness; fever, chills, or sore throat; severe or persistent nausea; swelling of hands, ankles, feet, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; or hoarseness.”

Holy Shit! We just wanted to get rid of this little headache we have from drinking too much last night. Now we run the risk of having just about every possible side effect known to man happening to us. From a little pill. Throw that whole bottle away now! Let the raccoons deal with it.

Raccoons… headache free, but full of rabies.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Medicine: Yaz

What It Does: Birth Control

Why It’s On This List: “CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience a missed menstrual period; breast lump or discharge; calf or leg pain, swelling, or tenderness; change in amount of urine produced; chest pain or heaviness; confusion; coughing up blood; fainting; irregular heartbeat; left-sided jaw, neck, shoulder, or arm pain; mental or mood changes (such as depression); numbness of an arm or leg; one-sided weakness; persistent, severe, or recurring headache or dizziness; severe stomach pain or tenderness; slurred speech; sudden severe vomiting; sudden shortness of breath; symptoms of liver problems (such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, fever, dark urine, pale stools, loss of appetite); unusual or severe vaginal bleeding; or vision changes (such as sudden vision loss, double vision).”

We’re not normally one to judge, but, in this case we feel obligated. This might be a case where it’d be better to use a condom. A condom might cause a little awkward moment before doing the deed. Yaz however, will cause you to cough up blood, give you stroke like symptoms, and possibly make you go blind. Best part is, birth control pills are only 99% effective. So, on top of all this, you might still get a kid… yay!

No, I don’t think it’s mine… doesn’t have my eyes.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Medicine: Cymbalta

What It Does: Anti-Depressant/Anxiety Relief

Why It’s On This List: “SIDE EFFECTS that may occur while taking this medicine include blurred vision, constipation, decreased sexual desire or ability, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, increased sweating, loss of appetite, muscle aches, nausea, sore throat, tiredness, trouble sleeping, or vomiting. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience bizarre behavior; confusion; excessive sweating; dark urine; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; fever or chills; hallucinations; loss of coordination; new or worsening agitation, anxiety, panic attacks, aggressiveness, impulsiveness, irritability, hostility, restlessness, or inability to sit still; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin.”

First of, none of these possible side effects is going to help anyone that already suffers from a problem with depression and anxiety. Can you imagine the Doctor that has the balls to say to his patient: “Jim, I realize you are having trouble dealing with crowded places and the stress involved. That’s why I want to give you this medicine. Sure, there’s a slight chance you might have “…new or worsening agitation, anxiety, panic attacks…” but that’s fine. Because you’ll also be bombarded with new found “…aggressiveness, impulsiveness, irritability, hostility…” so it should all turn out just fine next time you head to the mall.

The Cymbalta Riots of 1912.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The lesson here, read the fine print!

Tell us about some weird warnings you’ve spotted on some common medicines in the comment section!

Weird, unusual, and just plain silly phobias plague hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Some are understandable…

Coulrophobia:

But, the rest are just plain… well, you’ll see.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Aulophobia- Fear of flutes:

Easily the most ridiculous thing on this list is being afraid of a flute. A wind instrument played by marching band members, the irony here would be if the Football Team Captain suffered from this and ran off the field whenever the band played.

_________________________

Bibliophobia- Fear of books:

The fear of books would be the perfect excuse for anyone that wanted to get out of doing homework at school. The downside would be that everyone would call you a weenie for being scared of books.

_________________________

Chrmatophobia- Fear of money:

Let us go on record right now and say that if anyone at all is afraid of their money, we can help. We’ll take any and all of it right off of your hands. Consider it our way of saying thanks for reading.

_________________________

Defecaloesiophobia- Fear of painful bowel movements:

No one wants to take a painful shit. But you know what, that’s what you get for eating that spicy jambalaya last night dillweed. Learn your lesson? Also, isn’t the picture above absolutely priceless?

_________________________

Erythrophobia- Fear of redlights:

Honestly, show us someone who likes getting stopped at a red light and we’ll take this off the list. It pisses us all off to have to hit the brakes and avoid slamming into the car in front of us. But, not liking and being afraid of, that’s two different things.

_________________________

Frigophobia- Fear of cold or cold things:

Just imagine the things a person afraid of the cold would miss out on; slurpies, iced beer, winter. Frostbite is a scary thing, but being afraid of a cup of ice cream is ridiculous.

_________________________

Geniophobia- Fear of chins:

LOL… Sorry, we were just imagining the next big horror flick starring Jay Leno along side Sarah Jessica Parker chasing scared teens around.

_________________________

Hobophobia- Fear of hobos:

See, there’s nothing to be afraid of, many of them are quite funny!

_________________________

Ideophobia- Fear of ideas

The hilarity of this is that you know there was some kid in middle school that was told by his teacher to join in a “brain-storming” session, he refused, and got detention. Probably eventually became the school bully, all because he was scared of ideas.

_________________________

Judeophobia- Fear of Jews:

Quiet! There’s a pack of Jews around that corner. If they hear you, they’ll pounce on you and give you sound financial advice.

_________________________

Kathisophobia- Fear of sitting down:

Maybe there’s more to this definition then we found, maybe it’s more about fearing sitting in gum or something.

_________________________

Linonophobia- Fear of string:

Seriously? String?

_________________________

Mycophobia- Fear or aversion to mushrooms:

Not liking them on your pizza is one thing, but, cringing in fear when there’s one in the room. C’mon. I bet watching someone with this fear play Super Mario Bros. was priceless.

_________________________

Nomatophobia- Fear of names:

You’d have to feel sorry for this person’s pets. So, I thought you had a cat and a dog? “I do, over there is Cat… and outside is Dog.” What’s their names? “AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!”

_________________________

Olfactophobia- Fear of smells:

Shouldn’t someone be afraid of things that can actually “get them”? This is as bad as that “scary movie” The Fog.

_________________________

Pogonophobia- Fear of beards:

Being fearful of a man with a beard is one thing. Being afraid of the beard itself, nah. It’s like the old saying. “Guns don’t kill people, people with mustaches kill people.” Same premise.

_________________________

HippopotomonstrosesQuippedaliophobia- Fear of long words:

The irony card pops up again here. Where the person afflicted with the problem can’t even share it with people, because the word describing the problem is in fact, a long word.

_________________________

Ranidaphobia- Fear of frogs:

It’s not easy being green. But, seriously, when was the last recorded frog attack?

_________________________

Sarmassophobia- Fear of love play:

If you’re scared of making out and getting frisky, it’s not a phobia, you’re probably just dating someone that’s ugly.

_________________________

Tremophobia- Fear of trembling:

The classic case of which came first? The chicken or the egg. Was the person trembling because they were afraid, or afraid because they were trembling.

_________________________

Urophobia- Fear of urine:

This would be the worst nightmare for any guy. Because without a doubt, there’s no man that has ever walked into the bathroom in the middle of the night, and not pissed on his leg at least a little bit.

_________________________

Venustraphobia- Fear of beautiful women:

You poor, poor souls.

_________________________

Walloonphobia- Fear of the Walloons:

Apparently this is a picture of a Walloon Reunion. And the Walloons are some people in Europe. Or from a Dr. Seuss book. We’re not totally sure.

_________________________

Xerophobia- Fear of dryness:

Does a person suffering from a fear of dryness live in a swimming pool? We bet Triple H from WWE suffers from this. He’s always pooring water on his head.

_________________________

CYclophobia- Fear of bicycles:

This sucks. We thought we had a good one here, a fear of something really scary. Like a Cyclops. Instead, it’s the terror of two wheels! Bleh.

_________________________

Zemmiphobia- Fear of the Giant Mole Rat:

Seriously, if we don’t find something scary soo…. WTF IS THAT!?!? Good Lord. That’s the most evil thing we’ve ever seen. Hellraiser doesn’t have shit on a Naked Mole Rat. Eek.

Surely he can to…

The idea behind the following pictorial is not to state the obvious. The girls on this list were nerdy, silly, goofy, regular kids that overcame all those adjectives and blossomed into hotness. Whereas some girls had it from the get go. Namely, Kelly from Saved By The Bell. She was hot then, and she’s hot now. Of course, we’ll still include pictures for completeness.

Tiffani-Amber Theissan – Gorgeous then and even more so now.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hayden Panettiere - A pretty obvious choice for hottie now, the star of Heroes is a major babe. But, did you know Hayden began her career as Sheryl from Remember the Titans?

Lindsay Lohan – We’ll probably get ridiculed and have rocks thrown at us for including her, but you have to admit, she’s not all that bad to look at. Especially considering the leaps and bounds she took from childhood like back when she was in Parent Trap.

Marguerite Moreau – We wouldn’t expect anyone to remember Connie from The Mighty Ducks, why would you? She was mean and played sports better than you. Most recently showing up in Queen of the Damned it’s nice to see her back.

Shawna Waldron – Currently into directing and some acting gigs including a 2 year stint as a cast member of Ladies Man, Icebox from The Little Giants is now a lovely babe. Thanks for growing up!

Anna Chlumsky – Along with Macaulay Culkin, Anna made us all afraid of bees when she played Vada from My Girl. Her career has recently began to pick up with several new movies in the works, this probably correlates directly with the recent hotness she’s achieved.

Ariana Richards – You probably know her better as the sister in the original Jurassic Park film, but we’ll always remember the adorable girl in the girl who wanted to dress up as an alien from Spaced Invaders. Now, Ariana and her cuteness spends time doing art.

Michelle Trachtenberg – Without a doubt in our minds, this is the biggest transformation on the list. Did anyone ever think that that goofy girl from Harriet the Spy would develop into the smokin’ hot chick on Euro Trip?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Candice Cameron - While on the show Full House we watched her grow from a dorky little kid into an attractive woman. But, it wasn’t until she got out from under the shadow that Becky’s “milfness” put off, that we got to see how majorly beautiful Candice is.

Soleil Moon Frye – Punky Brewster was never one of my favorite shows, but there’s no doubt that little Punky was a cute kid. Now, there’s no doubt that she’s a super good looking woman who’s been a part of the hit shows Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Proud Family.

Tatyana Ali - Ashley from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air never really stole the show when surrounded by attention grabbers like Carlton and Will. But oh man, she’s the foxy lady grabbing attention now… movies, soap operas (The Young and the Restless), and even a singing career have been a part of Tatyana’s career.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Danica McKeller - She put the “Wonder” in Wonder Years; as in, we wondered if we’d ever meet a girl like her. Sure, she was nerdy, but that was cool. Couple nerdy with drop dead gorgeous and well, that’s Danica now. She’s still into entertainment making appearances on NYPD Blue and The West Wing, but her new claim to fame is teaching kids that math doesn’t suck in her new book “Math Doesn’t Suck”.

Tina Majorino – We won’t count points off if you don’t recognize the little starlet of Andre right away. Tina played alongside a great big seal in the movie and hilarious adventures ensued. She’s probably better known for her role as Deb in Napoleon Dynamite or Mac on Veronica Mars, how they hid sucha cute girl under all that weird movie, we’ll never know.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Amanda Bynes – All That was the kid version of Saturday Night Live back in the day. You had Keenan and Kel doing the “Good Burger” skits, and, um… Amanda Bynes prepping herself for a life of hotness. She’s made quite a name for herself starring in The Amanda Show and most recently the movie Hairspray.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Zena Gray – Zena wouldn’t have made our list except for two reasons. #1 Max Keeble’s Big Move, a movie she starred in, was just on the other day. #2 She’s hot. Other places you might have seen Zena; the movie The Shaggy Dog and Law and Order.
