no whammies, no whammies, STOP!

My good friend Ed sent me this great story tonight about a guy, way back in 1984, who memorized all the patterns on the Press Your Luck game show. (in my humble opinion, one of the best game shows EVER - especially because of the rarely seen, but ultra-rad breakdancing whammy - Mike S. will […]

I know it is super-late now (almost 4am). I know it is Yom Kippor (I’m not Jewish). I accidentally stumbled upon a link for jahweh.com, and I clicked it. It’s one of the all-time funniest websites ever.

WORST POSSIBLE […]

genious

I have the tendency to spell the word genius, “genious” ALL THE TIME. It is one of the dumbest words to spell wrong. I feel like a real mouron.

psx

Even though I am thoroughly tired of the ultra-high-tech “X” notation in new products lately (see XBox, OS X, Flash MX, Goldfingers X-treme, etc…) I am thoroughly impressed with Sony’s ne w Playstation, the PSX.

So many movies…

I totally left Office Space out of the loop. It’s pretty damn hard to keep your list compact, but I am glad to see so many posts. I also forgot about the Indy Jones flicks. I am totally buying the DVD set. As far as the rating goes, I would gauge each film with some […]

reality IS better than fiction

This recent article in the Times of India is a another great news story that demonstrates exactly why reality is better than fiction, and this is the best country in the world. I have seen some wild weddings in my time (trust me), and I have ruined a few with bad, drunken behavior (trust me), […]

crazy illusion?

This is the craziest illusion/illustration puzzle I’ve ever seen. I seriously don’t get it. I have to go to sleep now. Somebody smart and nerdy, like Joergen, needs to explain this to me, very, very slowly.

Pam pleads for the breasts

and the wings apparantly. Pamela Anderson just wrote a scatching letter to KFC about how they treat their chickens. You know, before we kill and eat them.
The sad thing is I actually thought she’d find something sinister about KFC that we didn’t know. Like they’re funding North Korea’s nuclear program.

My friend Jess sent over this email with this link to all the hillarious Bud Light “real American Hero” radio spots. I LOVE these ads. This is what she wrote:

We have talked about good products on this website before. I always forgot to mention, I think, the Gilette Mach 3 razor. I never thought it’s comfort, performance, and closeness of shave could ever be surpassed. Well, I was wrong!
