Yes, you may thank me for sharing.

Man dies; then his mom dies; then they are both eaten by cats.

OK, this one is kind of funny – car full of zombies crashes.

And this one is kind of sad – H.G. Wells short story competition gets zero entries.

Pilot ejects seconds before plane explodes on impact. Related: Gallery of plane crashes from which there were survivors.

Parasite that lives on shark eyeballs. I’m still trying not to think about this one.

Tokyo’s oldest man has actually been dead for 30 years. Whoops.

This has been making the rounds, so I know I’m not the first of my friends to post it: Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury.(Oh yeah; NSFW)

I used to have one of these moving, light-up Bartenders as a kid. Which is a lot more creepy in retrospect (also in watching that video). I saw one of these in an antique store a few years ago and am still kicking myself for not buying it, though.

Only funny if you used to play Oregon Trail as a kid. OK, it’s still pretty funny; but funnier if you’ve played the game! The Oregon Trail – Official Trailer.

Who knew that Kevin Spacey is such a fabulous impersonator?!

Here’s one for Sharon: two-headed, six-legged bearded dragon.

The Bechdel Test for Women in Movies made me realize that even some of my very, very favorite movies couldn’t pass this test. I’m still not sure how I feel about that.

On a funnier note, the 100 Greatest Movie Insults of all time (this one’s about ten minutes long, so grab a drink). Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

LOVE – Amputee cat learns to walk with new bionic rear feet.

Also LOVE – she’s sold out of them right now, but I may need some of these merit badges. Hee.

Did you know we recently celebrated the 30th Anniversary of Airplane?! Surely I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue! Related: think you know the movie pretty well? Take this quiz!

Woman in hospital gets wrong let amputated – seriously, one of my big fears should I ever go in for a surgery like that. I’m going to be the one with the magic marker writing all over the other limb “NOT THIS ONE, JACKASS!”.

An apartment… made of bookshelves.

Here’s one for Sharon – two-headed kitty, born in West Virginia!

Famous Hollywood movie sets… in miniature!

So awesome – pin-up girl calendar… in x-ray!

I live in an odd town; a good portion of the locals move away as soon as they graduate, as do a good portion of people who come here only for college. Where do they go? This interactive map will show you (or show you where people are moving to your city from, or where they’re leaving to).

Thanks to Alanis Morissette (and I may be spelling her name wrong, but whatevs), I get crap every time I use the phrase “that’s ironic”; something I said for years before That Song. Here’s a funny look at the three most common uses of irony.

Speaking of irony; armless woman named best embroiderer in her village.

I expect, once I start selling ceramics, to get questions like this.

Some stories you just can’t make up: A culinary argument between a brother and sister about whether to use butter or margarine turned violent, resulting in an attack with a knife-edged barbecue spatula.

Bwahaha! Why I shouldn’t carry an air horn. Awesome.

This has been around already, but… who needs rock-paper-scissors when you could be playing monkey-pirate-robot-ninja-zombie?!

Mostly I don’t read “mommy blogs” because, you know, that’s how you come down with children (kids! they’re like the flu! casual contact can cause them!) but almost always, this blog makes me laugh… or sniffle.

This one’s for Craig – Lego ship in a glass bottle.

Here’s one for the pajama-wearing yarn lovers out there. You know who you are!

Something that I’ve actually always kind of been curious about; where do locals, as opposed to tourists, take photos?

OMGawesome – 100 artists decorate Vader’s head.

Women scientists on the debate over women in science. (long read; worth it)

I just don’t even know what to say about this – Angry clowns decry armed robbery by impostors dressed as clowns.

Here’s one for Sharon – we should have done this at the bookstore (except that – thank the FSM – neither of us worked in Text). Hee hee hee. Related: Holy crap, I used to get questions like this all the time. Somewhat related: This is why I hate people who say they have food allergies when they don’t. And this one’s for Bonnie – this made me think of you, and some of the things you’ve said people have asked you, without thinking first. Lastly: I have seen my future.

Do you see faces in inanimate objects? So do I, which is why I’m glad I found Happy Chair is Happy. Old Man Typewriter is Not Obsolete!

Are you drinking? Either swallow or prepare to spray your keyboard.

Whoa – MetaFilter is good for something – MetaFilter Saved My Pals From Sex Traffickers.

Hee hee hee – Before I met you, my heart was a crap taco.

This would be funnier except I know someone who would actually do that. :shudder: Furries are creepier than clowns. Related: People are weird. Also, demanding. Also, dumb.

And soon they will jump into the sky, fly away, and thank us for all the fish.

Jorge Garcia (Hurley) had a rather sad leaving of Hawaii after LOST. I has a sad for him.

What really happens on Dubai motorways; apparently staged, but… still. Wow.

I’m tempted to try to get more comments on my blog by trying this. Hee hee hee.

Need more humor? What your email address says about your computer skills.

Paulina’s parents were awesome (I would totally make Tim do that… well, I’d try, anyway. It would probably end up just being a photo of me.).

Spider-web made from packing tape. I feel like it really is, when trying to get that crap off my fingers.

While these particular charms aren’t necessarily ones that apply to my life, maybe a charm bracelet wouldn’t be a bad way to remember to do things!

I like vintage, but have to agree… I’m kind of glad these are gone.

Bwahah! Fuck you, flowers!

None of these are drinks I consume, but still… comparing the sugar content is fascinating.

Here’s one for DA – The Star Wars Craft Book.

I used to work at bookstores. Sadly, a lot of the customers were like this. Related: people are frighteningly unobservant and incredibly self-interested. But sometimes funny – Are you retarded? He had to poop!

My Parents Were Awesome hasn’t had much lately that’s caught my eye… until Anonymous (is it the sausage? the look on his face? either way, awesome!)

Occasionally Lovely Listing, rather than making fun of something, links to something that really is lovely.

12 Awesome Science Fiction Lunchboxes – I would have proudly carried that Bionic Woman one!

Ever feel like the things in your house are against you? They are… they are!

Song of the Week: I Will Survive

13 Jul

This didn’t just make me tear up; it had me crying like a baby.

A Holocaust survivor, his daughter, and his grandchildren dancing to I Will Survive at various concentration camp sites throughout Europe.

Fascinating. For the last few years, the same dog has shown up at many Greek protests.

This is something I’ve often wondered. Which viewers are, or should, TV networks listen to?

Especially funny at the end if you know the lyrics. When the moon

Lovely Listing: so, does the old man come with the house…?

Regretsy: Just don’t wear it around a goat. Hee hee hee. Related: Oh, spell-check, you fickle beast.

Ahahahaha! Screamingly funny crash reports.

Now, here’s a shirt I need. Hee hee hee.

I don’t know if I liked this article or not… probably because I really *do* have food allergies (and if one more person asks me if maybe I just ate healthy free-range chickens because maybe I wouldn’t be allergic to them, I’m going to punch a baby in the face. Or ask if they have the technology to rework the DNA of the chicken so that it’s actually a cow.). It’s not an intolerance; it’s an allergy. My throat swells shut. It’s not just not liking it -  if I don’t like it, I’ll just tell you. Gah! Now I’m all worked up.

This makes me a little sad: Last typist booted out of Writer’s Room. I’m sure they allow noisy assholes on cell-phones, though.

Interesting. A food magazine editor and two professional chefs make a weeks worth of healthy meals to feed a family of four, on the average food stamp budget.
