Chive - "Probably The Best Site Ever"

Keep Calm and Chive On

    Ok, Its two o'clock, all the annoying paperwork from the last round is finished. Facebook, eh - Nothing new there. What to do, What to do? Why keep cool and chive on of course.

    There I was, working the midnight shift and bored as ever.  I never really get bored when I have my iphone, but this night was different. Then, out of nowhere, I hear a dear friend of mine say "well, its time to chive." Then, like a hawk watching it's prey,  I closely observe him scroll, with eyes so wide and a grin so malice it makes me curious to say the least. What is this "chive" that he speaks of, I wonder to mYself. So, like any respectable App lover, I do the search.

   There are numerous different categories of photos on the Chive. There is the ever so wonderful Burn Bra, There are sexy chivers among us, best photos of the week, newly single chivettes, and FLBP ( Future Lower Back Pain). These are just a few of the sections (more like the photos within) that bring millions of viewers ever year to the site, including me. 

    While the Chives primary focus is on men, the brothers have also created The Berry, which targets women with provocative pictures of men with no shirts and washboard abs. There is also The Brigade, which is a salute to our troops, and The Throttle, which is for the men and women who are more interested in automobiles then women in bikins and men oiled down with no shirts (respectively).

     Hands down, the thing that makes the chive, and the other site alike unique, is the simple fact that people are willing to send in the pictures of themselves for the world to see. It never ceases to amaze me when I see a women who had pulled off her nursing clothes (apparently right in the hospital bathroom) and strips off her clothing for the viewer enjoyment. These kinds of scenarios can be found in the ever so popular Bored at Work section, which in turn usually ends up in the mix with best photos of the week.
