David Blaine Blows Your Mind

A nice David Blaine street magic spoof (and proof that he hides cards in people’s asses).

Ouija Bored

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

My sister buys a home and has a party.
I buy her a glow-in-the-dark Ouija Board as a housewarming present (useful around the home, no?).
It went something like this:

(Scene: Seven drunk people in the darkened empty livingroom of an old farmhouse, around 12:00AM.)

Us: “Oh great Ouija, can you hear us?”

Ouija: “YES”

Us: “Oh great Ouija, who are we speaking to?

Ouija: “YES”

Us: “Ouija, what is Jacob’s mother’s middle name?”

Ouija: “M-J-A-Z-A-Z-8″

Us: “Ouija, is there anything you want to tell us?”

Ouija: “YES”

Us: “What do you want to tell us?”

Ouija: “J-R-I-3-I-4-C”

(End scene)

Some observations:
• Ouija Boards often communicate with the living through license plate numbers.
• Some Ouija Boards might need “calibration” - though I’m not sure how to do it.
• If you’re drunk, perhaps Ouija Boards can be drunk too. Or deaf.
• When returning a Ouija Board to Toys-R-Us, don’t tell them that you think it’s defective and you’d like to exchange it for one with “stronger spiritual powers.”

Now that everyone on the planet has gagged watching “2 Girls 1 Cup,” it’s time for something new and vulgar to trick your friends into watching.

Behold the next gross thing: CakeFarts (NSFW!!!)

Everybody likes cake.
And most people think farts are funny.
And naked ladies are awesome.
But nobody wants to see these three things combined.

21-year-old Grace Hilario was recently lost for a day in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California. Among other things, “[s]he said she worried about bears but saw only squirrels and what she described as a monkey, walking and then running through the trees.”

42-year old Moe the chimp had gone missing from a nearby Devore, California wild animal facility earlier this month.

Will we ever learn of the forbidden love they shared in the wilderness?
And who won the smile contest?

When I lived in Europe, television was filled with ads for ringtones and phone wallpapers. The majority of the ringtones were all lame/vulgar noises and the wallpapers were as campy as it gets.

Thus, I was inspired to create the World’s Most Awesome-est Ringtones and the World’s Most Awesome-est Phone Wallpapers.

Download and enjoy.
