From Kim to Zach to me to you: Bush Vs. Zombies.
Now we know: the guy doesn’t understand the difference between fact and fiction. Most people thought Shaun of the Dead was horror/comedy, not documentary. Poor W probably read The Zombie Survival Guide as an instruction manual (don’t show him How To Survive a Robot [...]
After all my agitating for small, cheap, fuel efficient cars (and automotive metaphors), I figured I had to post this picture (and a few others) from the demolition derby at the Hopkinton Fair a couple weeks ago. My video of the four-cylinder event is at YouTube.
Extra: I don’t know where it fits in your stereotype [...]
Not LMAO, certainly not ROFLcopter-ingly funny, but funny enough to want to snap a picture, and good enough for casual Friday here.
The boat in the parking lot, UPS vs. FedEx, and Hoe For Hire are all easy enough to understand (though they leave me open to easy criticism). The fourth photo is of [...]
A guy walked into the student newspaper office and asked “does anybody want to jump out of an airplane?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, I said “I’m your man.” It was only afterwards that I confirmed a parachute would be involved.
Well, that was ten years ago (can’t you tell, I look young — young!), but the video [...]
Office pranks are a bit of a thing here. Well, at least in IT. Last year Matt took charge and put together a quartet of pranks that got the attention of the London Daily Mirror.
This video is from a May 2002 prank that put a golf cart with fuzzy dice and bobble headed Jesus [...]

Beginning of a bad day…
I rear-ended a car this morning. I knew it was going to be a really bad day!
The driver got out of the other car and I looked down and realized he was a dwarf!!!
He looked up at me and said “I’M NOT HAPPY!”
So I said, “Well then, which one are you?”
And [...]

What’s really angering about instructions [...] is that they imply there’s only one way [...] their way. And that presumption wipes out all the creativity. Actually there are hundreds of ways [...] and when they make you follow just one way without showing you the overall problem the instructions become hard to follow in such [...]
It’s Tony Day, not just because Joe’s book has garnered some good reviews — “the only excuse for the continued existence of boxing is that its battles have occasioned some of the best writing any sport has ever inspired” — or because he likes telling the story. It’s Tony Day because “Galento [is] a champion [...]
I don’t know whether to thank the Pheonix or the fair organizers for this great ad copy, but I hope the Washington County Fair is as good in 2007 as it sounded in 2006:
An agricultural fair featuring tractor pulls, stage shows, crafts, and livestock, plus games and children’s contests. Adult events include arm-wrestling contests, [...]
Okay, now that we all know what a muffin top is, let’s learn about schaedenfatte:

With summer being the season [...]
From Associated Press and WAVY TV:
Police said a drunk man drove a lawnmower to a store about a mile from his house. They arrested him on his way home.
Dondi Bowles, 50, of Vermilion was arrested Friday night as he drove the mower on a sidewalk.
Police said a breath test showed that Bowles’ blood alcohol level [...]
I’m wishing Alanis Morissette a happy birthday not just because we share a birth month and year, but because it’s a good reason to look back at her cover of My Humps and get another smile.
But, as long as we’re talking about events in June, we might as well remember that we’re now just 20 [...]
This is what I get for not following Gizmodo faithfully: flaming industrial art.
They introduced it saying “Do you enjoy fire? Do you also enjoy very intricate Rube Goldberg machines? Of course you do.” Though a reader there exclaims:
It didn’t do anything. For it to be a true Rube Goldberg doesn’t it have to accomplish some [...]
There is little doubt that the great diversity of styles and techniques of bowlers from countries enjoying test match status has helped to shape the history of [the sport]. With the recent world-wide implementation of professional coaching schemes, which generally teach only one, or perhaps two optimal ways…, bowling could be in danger of losing [...]
