Off on a little camping trip, so I went to the local AAA office to get some maps. Holy Cow! They have 2 super cool map vending machines, slide in your member card and press da button, presto map heaven. 
God bless the Japanese, who never cease to amaze me. Buy your own “Rodeo Boy” (日本直販 ロデオボーイ), a cross between a treadmill and a stallion for just 29,800 Yen, or about $252. Apparently (or so they want you to think), it’s a good ab workout. Can anyone tell me what they’re saying?

Create your own creepy police-sketch at Ultimate Flash Face. I guarantee this will help to pass the time at work and provide a few laughs in the process. Select from the variety of facial features and move them into position by dragging them around. You can even scale the features to make them fit better. What you end up with is a dithered bitmap image that strongly resembles a police-sketching of a pedophile you might see on the 11-o’clock news. Print that sketch out, perhaps add your own weird thought-provoking message to it with a sharpie, and post them up in your neighborhood. It’s sure to get people wondering.
This guy below is the first one I created. I posted him up in the office…Good times.
My friend Ari has been keeping me posted via email on the wear abouts of Lily Allen ever since I professed my love of her. Here’s his latest “save-it-for-the-hearing” entry in our shared obsession of Lily. It turns out, like Marky Mark, she has a third nipple.
“Someone told me blogging seems to have replaced confessions. So I shall proceed with 5 hail marys, a handful or our fathers, and promise not to stalk Lily . . .I’ll just follow her home to make sure she’s safe” -Ari Sawyer
Lily says that apparently one in every ten people has a third nipple, so, that would mean that at least one Blogadilla member has one. Check those “moles” people.
Not just for the survival kit anymore!
So each week I will attempt to do an interesting picture post from my collection. The story behind this one is coming up with fun incentives/bribes for our son to try potty training.
The latest was the glow stick! He loved it! Even made it to nap time, the normal soft furry rabbit got ejected.
I just came across a rather interesting website. Conceived by a partnership between the Library of Congress, the Center for History and New Media, and the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business; this site is dedicated to archiving business plans and other such organizational documents from companies of the dot-com era. A great resource for anyone wanting to venture out on their own, and learn from the mistakes and successes of those from the previous era. Check it ›
“Is Helen Reddy?” is the traditional name of the game. Given that many people don’t know who Helen Reddy is anymore, a more up-to-date name such as “Does Tom Cruise?” can be used.
The rules are simple:
• Two or more players.
• Construct a question that is a wordplay on a celebrity name (usually a last name that sounds like an adjective, bonus points if you can use both first and last name).
• You have 1 minute to come up with your question (if not, you lose), then your opponent takes a turn at coming up with a question.
• The question/pun has to be legitimate sounding.
Good Examples: Does Tom Cruise? Is Martin Short? Is Alan Cumming? Is Amy Smart? Is Barry White? Is Seth Green? Does Gabriel Byrne? Does Billy Bragg? Do I smell Kevin Bacon? Did you know LeAnn Rimes? Is Liz Phair? Is Rob Lowe? Is his Willie Brown? (Willie Brown is 2x points - use of first and last name).
Mediocre Examples: Does Minnie Driver? Does Dick Butkus? Is Bryan Ferry?
Bad Examples (no points): Does John Malkovich? Is Ray Liotta? Does Lenny Kravitz?
It is harder than it sounds, but it is a great way to waste time with friends. It can even be played over instant messenger.
You really should listen to your mom when she tells you not to run with scissors.

Everybody has that one friend who frequently falls victim to their own clumsiness - the person voted “Most Likely To Accidentally Die By Their Own Hands.” My friend Heather is this person - a master of accidental self-inflicted injury. She began photo-documenting her injuries this year and will soon release an online photogallery/journal (its upcoming release is a Blogadilla exclusive - stay tuned).
Here are samples of some of her more recent injuries (clockwise from top left):
•Fell out of a windowsill (luckily fell inside) and did a face-plant : carpet burn and one and a half black eyes.
•Her most recent injury: shaving her legs
•Infected hangnail
•Stubbed and broke her pinky toe (notice the purple)
For the low, low price of $1200.00, you can buy the world’s largest Swiss Army knife. Weighing in at 2lbs 11oz and measuring 8.75 by 3.25 inches, it’s hardly a pocket knife. It has 6 blades and 8 different screwdrivers, not to mention a cigar cutter, laser pointer, golf shoe spike wrench, fish scaler, double-cut wood saw, ruler, scissors, pliers, wire crimper and cutter, and more. Hell, it even has a telescopic pointer!
For full specs and to buy (once it comes “back in stock”), check out Wenger’s site.

In Bangkok, police officers who break rules, such as showing up late to work, parking in restricted areas, fighting on the job, or receiving poor service complaints from citizens will no longer simply be warned, The Associated Press reports.
Instead, they will be forced to wear an armband with an almost unspeakable mark of shame. That’s right folks, Hello Kitty.
The rational:

If you’re anything like me, you take great comfort in mistakes made by other people. Specifically, other people who are much more accomplished than you are. It’s much easier to brood on someone else’s humiliating blunders than to actually attempt anything of your own.
This website, chock full o’ movie mistakes should hold me over for the next few hours until my ego needs more stroking by third party failure.

Charlie’s Angels: When the Angels are fighting the “Creepy Thin Man,” right before Drew Barrymore lifts up Lucy Liu to spin her around and kick the thin man, to get Lucy’s attention, Drew hollers out “Lucy!” even though Lucy Liu’s character’s name is “Alex.”
In the small city of Tartu, in the Baltic nation of Estonia, police pulled over a suspected drunk driver - only to find that the 20 year old wasn’t drunk, but blind.

I would definitely say the officers were the ones unwilling to cooperate in this case.

Nike recently launched a new online campaign to promote their vintage original line of running shoes. Everything from the photography right down to the mock-ads on the pages were crafted as if it were straight out of the 70’s. Some pretty funny stuff on there. Check it out ›
Here are the viral videos they created to accompany the site.
Funny as hell!
Not everyone knew about The Rock-afire Explosion in their heyday, but some people loved the animatronic animal band that graced the stages of Showbiz Pizza Place (and later Chuck E. Cheese). Most people probably assumed that this animatronic animal band bit the dust after they were ‘retired’ in 1994, but fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint), this is not the case.
Instead, some guy in Georgia got a hold of the band and reprogrammed them to sing a bunch of different, contemporary songs, such as Fergie’s “London Bridge,” and Bubba Sparxxx’s “Ms. New Booty” (below). I won’t lie…I’m a little freaked out:

Check out Mandolux for some nice photography available as desktop image downloads. Many of them have been made available for dual displays, which rules! Humorous titles, too.
Bourne Ultimatum:
Better than the second film.
Jason Bourne kicks ass.
Though she’s 51,
Joan Allen is a hottie.
She made the movie
Laughed so hard I peed,
though the plot was kind of lame.
Frontal nudity!
High definition.
Funnier than TV shows.
I love “Spider Pig.”
