The good people at Keep the Faye gave me a chuckle with their series of choose you daily disaster magnets, like the hillbillies and volcano series pictures above. Then they followed it up with the amusing, but somewhat less funny choose your favorite fantasy series.

To go along with summer’s bicycle riding mower is this “Vancouver Snowplow” from Joe-ks.com (yes, I feel appropriately stupid for linking to a site with an animated gif splash page). Oddly, this isn’t the only such snowplow.

I should be thankful to have friends who get worried about me when I don’t blog for a couple days (or at least make up stories), but let me take this moment to make it clear that I haven’t gone into boat sales. This has happened before, and it just means I’ve got a larger [...]
I ran across David Owen’s Three Wishes FAQ in a month-old New Yorker on my friend’s coffee table last night. I tore out the page thinking I’d not find it online, but lo, the New Yorker posted it on their site on Jan ninth!
You have been granted three wishes — congratulations. If you wish wisely, [...]
Here’s Zach hidden in plain sight on a couch at a friend’s house the other day. That’s skill.

Joel Friesen’s PowerPoint-esque presentation on why his girlfriend should continue to date him didn’t win her back, but it entertained folks.
Yes, the diagram above shows Joel’s position at the intersection of those who are graphic designers, awesome people, and people who’ve played a zombie in a low-budget horror flick, yes the other slides are [...]
Steve Wynn could probably have had any show he wanted, but he chose Avenue Q, the Sesame Street and Muppets-inspired show that has to include a disclaimer denying its roots in the program and advertising. What the show’s creators don’t have to disclaim are the three Tony Awards the show won in 2004 for best [...]
My friend Joe loved his chickens, though a fox did them in this last fall. He’d planned to leave the coop empty for the winter and start fresh in the spring, but his surfing lead him to mail order chickens (adoption card pictured above).
So…what better a gift for a friend than a chicken by mail? [...]
Al sent this video along via email, and it seems perfect for Friday afternoon. It’s all about super-monks (supramoine in French?), a kind of European Shaolin, maybe.

Amadana’s new headphones come with an amusing warning label:
Can’t climb wall.
Can’t listen to the voice in your heart.
Can’t open the coffer (safe).
Sure, the above looks fake, but Lichen pointed out this other Engrishism: “Fits well and stable…with movable ear hangers.”

I think this is Dave. Apparently they keep him in a cell at the server farm.

The Telecrapper 2000 is an improvised, homemade system that identifies telemarketing calls and leads the marketer through an artificial conversation that wastes the company’s time and money. The idea is to drive down productivity, and like so many other productivity sapping things, it can be quite funny. Check this Flash-animated recording: My Hip Hurts (mirror)

“I eated the purpleberries” (groaning).
“How are they Ralph…. Good?”
“They taste like…burning.”
More goodness at the Ralph Wiggum Soundboard, via InformationNation. More quotes, like “Oh boy, sleep! That’s where I’m a viking!,” at TheDotDotDot.
