11 Minutes of Perfection

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

An unbelievable display; this guy beats Super Mario Brothers 3 in 11 minutes, getting more than the maximum number of 1ups possible. All I can say is Diz-namn!

(If you’re not instantly impressed, skip ahead to the 2:09 mark.)

Dong Dong Mao

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I have no idea what “Dong Dong Mao” means, but you know it’s going to be good when the description says:

“桃花朵朵开 peach blossom one after another.”

My personal hypothesis: this is a Chinese boy-band audition tape.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Dynamite, Sponge, Monkey

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

“Rock, Paper, Scissors” (also called “Ro-Sham-Bo”) gets interesting when you add a few more variables:

Rock beats Scissors
Scissors cuts-up Sponge
Sponge soaks Dynamite
Dynamite explodes Monkey
Monkey flings poop at Man
Man disproves Alien
Alien vaporizes Rock

His Name Is Tyler Durden Garfield

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

The moment you realize that Garfield isn’t real is the moment you know that (his owner) John is psychotic and bipolar .

My Big Fat Geek Wedding

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Of the weddings I’ve attended, the theme was always “Wedding.”

But more and more, weddings are having themes. All too much like children’s birthday parties. The idea of a “Star Wars” wedding is nothing new, though it’s astounding to realize the sheer number of “Star Wars” weddings out there. I hope George Lucas feels like a dick about this.


Apparently, the bride and groom make movie props and costumes (so no Star-Warsy detail was left untouched): photo gallery and slideshow.





The bride and groom were married by Darth Vader, the groomsmen were Stormtroopers: video





The bride dressed as a bride, the groom came as Boba Fett: video





The groom came as Darth Vader, the bride came as Natalie Portman: video





Bonus Humiliation Round: The bride has a Hello Kitty shaped box on her nightstand. In it are her husband’s testicles. Life is hard enough when your English name is “Horlick”: video

• #74 - Oscar Parties

• #64 - Recycling
• #63 - Expensive Sandwiches
• #62 - Knowing What’s Best for Poor People
• #60 - The Toyota Prius
• #57 - “Juno”
• #49 - Vintage Clothing
• #47 - Arts Degrees
• #45 - Asian Fusion Food
• #44 - Public Radio
• #36 - Breakfast Places
• #28 - Not Having a TV

No Country for Good Endings (Part II)

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Last week, Blogadilla co-author Allison and I did our share of bitching about the lack of an ending to the Coen Brothers’ hit movie “No Country for Old Men”.

To clarify: It is possible to have an ending without having “follow-through.” And this lack of “follow-through” is cinematic coitus interruptus. It is cruel and lame.

To illustrate our point: Here is a knock-knock joke I hope to someday tell writers/directors Joel and Ethan Coen:

Me: “Knock-knock!”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “Who’s there?”

Me: “Orange.”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “Orange who?”

Me: “. . .”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “Orange who!?!”

Me: “. . .”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “ORANGE WHO!?!”

Me: “Tommy Lee Jones had a dream about his dad. F#ck you!”

Do NOT Turn Jesus On…

As the author says, “Not sure who designed this, but I’m pretty confident they didn’t mean to make it look as if Jesus was showing his manhood to two children!”

Microwave Oven vs. Easter

I just made this video today. What happens to 32 “Marshmallow Peeps” in a microwave oven, what happens to an Easter egg in a microwave oven:

Another perspective on life: “Thank God our perception of real life is distorted…No one wants to look at ugly people.”

[update from Heywood]:

In addition to the “Slob Evolution” parody, a slew other Dove Evolution parodies exist on Youtube:

…and more.

MooOOOO!!

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

What does this image represent? Here are some possible answers:

  • how to check the oil on Bessie
  • a really good hiding place for a spliff, where no one will EVER look
  • something very very wrong and illegal in 39 states
  • junkie cows
  • where sausage comes from
  • ‘T-boning’
  • a very lifelike “pin-the-tail” game
  • how to inflate your blow-up heifer doll
  • drunken shenanigans at the ol’ dairy farm

Believe it or not, this is an actual graphic from a real website demonstrating the proper technique for drawing blood from a cow. (You take blood from a vein on the underside of the tail - who knew?!) Here is a photo demonstrating the technique in action:

The website is from a company, BioTracking, that provides pregnancy tests for cows and other ruminants. If livestock reproduction technology makes you giggle like a schoolgirl then check out this link for a ram ejaculator. Seems to me that sheep farmers could save a lot of money by just going by Good Vibrations instead.

The Defenders of Stan

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

98% of the world’s population has turned into superheroes (or supervillains).

And Stan isn’t one of them.
To make matters worse, his older brother is the illustrious Captain Ultra.

POW!: ‘The Defenders of Stan.’

SPLARF!!: 13 current episodes on their website.

ROMNEY!!: 13 current episodes on YouTube.

Give it 2 minutes, you will be pooping yourself laughing. This is truly brilliant comedy writing:

Quote of the Week

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Of course that one thing we all should have learned as children is if there’s something you want with all of your heart - with every fiber of your being - you’re certain not to get it.

Crime Reports

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Perhaps a few steps up from the level of RottenNeighbor.com, CrimeReports.com combines Google Maps with local law enforcement reports (still not available in some areas).

[Update from Heywood]:

If you, like me, tried this out and it isn’t yet available for your neighborhood, invite your police chief. Just a few clicks.

Love Slam Thy Neighbor

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Once again, Google Maps is being put to good use.

RottenNeighbor.com - A venue to warn the universe about your as$hole neighbor who lets their dog crap on your front yard, or that creepy house down the block that might have a meth lab in the basement.

Though it will most likely be employed in anonymous abuse . . .




Por ejemplo:

To you jerks with the wind chimes! -
“Hey, do you people think that it was a coincidence that the wind chimes that hung off of your deck magically had a rubber band wrapped around them recently!? Maybe. Well, I was sure to put another one around it over the weekend. Hopefully, you will get the hint. Next time it keeps me awake or wakes me up I am going to take it to work and get it welded together. Thanks”
