The War On Zombies

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 [...]

Mildly Funny Scenes I’ve Come Across Recently

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 [...]

Bad Joke Friday

[]
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 [...]

Kids Need Bowling Coaches, Desperately

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 [...]

Sausage: The Other Ground Hog

The photo is from Jessamyn, who declared it Groan-worthy. I’m still grinning about it. Reminds me of the time Homer said “Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.”

“I Want My Money”

My nephew checked his email while he was here this morning and this was the first thing in his inbox. Maybe it’s because he’s 17 and my humor is at about the same level, but both of us were cracking up over it.
Miserable attempt at recovering my dignity with serious criticism: Will Farrell and landlord [...]

Dance Around The World

Among the pop-culture viral videos I apparently missed is Matt Harding’s dancing. I had to turn to Wikipedia for an explanation:
Harding was known for a particular dance, and while videotaping each other in Vietnam, his traveling companion suggested he add the dance. The videos were uploaded to his website for friends and family to enjoy. [...]

Whoosh Boom Splat

Bill Gurstelle thought the exploding balloons were as funny as I did, and now I understand why: the contributing editor of Make magazine knows his way around improvised munitions.
He also knows YouTube videos of oppressed geeks getting back at The Man with potato guns is a good marketing ploy for his audience. Whoosh Boom Splat [...]

And He-Man Screams From The Top Of His Lungs “What’s Goin’ On”

The What’s Up? cover would be funny enough on its own, with the He-Man video it’s golden.
Now, you know you want to sing along with the chorus. Go for it, here are the lyrics:
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath
And I get real high
And I scream [...]

Let Me Show You My Credentials

“I’m Bruce Pechman, the muscleman of technology, let me show you my credentials.”
This is the instructional video that comes with the DynaFlex Powerball Gyro.
The fan videos on YouTube have got nothing on this. Just click play and prepare to laugh. Will and I have been asking to see people credentials since he [...]

Just Pretend It’s All Okay

Ryan IM’d this to me, and it was pretty easy to find that Northern Sun sells them for $4 a pop.
This is serious stuff, but it’s hard not to laugh at the support our pants magnet or some of the stickers here.
just pretend, political criticism, ribbon, support our pants, it’s all okay, funny, car magnets, [...]
