If they did a live action version of The Simpsons. How would they get a guy to look like this: Real Homer.

If you think that is creepy, check out real mario.

I probably should save this for closer to Christmas when all of those annoying commercials come out regarding new toys, but I'll forget by then. You know the commercials I'm talking about. The ones for the pretty dolls that all the girls want or the really annoying RC Car ones about how their cars can do all these neat tricks. However, they hardly if ever work the way they are shown on the commercial.

Now we have a commercial that combines the two together, Turbo Heather!

It makes me want to go get one.

I stumbled upon two lists this week, both of them amusing. Mainly because it's either observations I think most people have made and ridiculed, or because it's something that hits close to home.

The first is 40 things that only happen in movies. I think we've all seen enough movies to be able to place which movie or movies each item is making fun of. My favorite is: "If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises wearing their most revealing underwear." Yea, like women walk around in their underwear. If they do, someone please let me know where?

The second is Things we've learned from playing RPGs (Role Playing Games). Most of the items on this list seems to come from video game RPGs, but there are ones that apply to the standard dice versions as well.

I know I have poor grammar and I misspell words, I'd like to think it's part of my charm. Some people I know find this highly annoying. That's why I found it highly amusing when a friend of mine sent me the following image after I accidentally used it's wrong.

I really do know when to use the correct one, I just made a mistake. it's not my fault!

I did two things yesterday that gave me an epiphany.

Boopie is turning 15 and is getting ready to start driving. So I stopped at a car dealership just to get an idea of how much a decent used car runs. I explained to the salesman that I really wasnÂ’t buying at this time, but I just wanted to get an idea of what IÂ’m going to be looking at over the next year. There were some cars on the lot that had a good price on them and seemed to be in decent condition. After speaking with the salesman about the cars, I knew what I was going to need to be looking at when the time finally arrives.

Last night I caught the speeches from the three leading candidates for president; Obama, Clinton and McCain. I listened to them give basically the same message. It was during the last speech that I realized something.

I trust the used car salesman more than these three.

Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea. As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a CUT -glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!

When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat.The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. "Miss Beatrice", he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this?" pointing to the bowl. "Oh, yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the Park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter."

Jeff Dunham is what I consider the only truly funny ventriloquist comedian. Although not my favorite character of his, but this is too funny for the holidays.

Anyone that has worked in the business world knows what a flowchart is. You've seen them at one point or another either in the idea phase, engineering phase or conception phase of planning. Here is a list of some of the funniest flowcharts on the Net.

It's so true.

What happens when three Live Action Role Playing (LARP) nerds are cast as the roll of the three wise men in a living nativity scene? Let me tell you, hilarity ensues. If you have any experience with fantasy movies or Dungeons and Dragons you'll really find this sacrilegiously funny.

Shadoglare has some Christmas themed videos up to help everyone get into the spirit this time of year. Now I'm not a huge Christmas fan, but Ktreva and the boys are. Yet, I love the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special.

I have the original comic book from when this first came out. Tonight I think I'm going to have to read it to Clone as a bed time story.

I know I posted this last year, but it just fits too well with everything that's been going on. For the first time ever I actually camped out to get a couple of gift items for the family. I can't tell you what they are yet, because some of the family members actually read here.

Yea, after dealing with angry parents and kids, I really wanted to drop kick a couple of people... well okay give them a noogie.

I know this is an older clip, but either Monday or Thursday night during the football game one of the announcers made a reference to this call.

I really would like to see this rule come back. Part of me would really love to see Ed Hochuli, my favorite ref, start calling this.

UPDATE: T1G pointed out that just last weekend a college ref made the same call which is why it was being talked about.

Thomas Wilson, better known as Biff Tannen, the bully, from Back to the Future. I originally heard it on the radio yesterday morning while out buying ammo, after doing some searching I was able to find a video clip of it.

If you didn't enjoy that, then in the immortal words of Biff, "Butthead!"

Friend and long time reader Petey sent me this video clip for his candidate of choice, Mike Huckabee.

I'm in the Fred Thompson boat, but damn that was just too funny.

1 I didn't say Huckabee was my candidate. I am still undecided on which candidate I am throwing my support behind. I like Thompson, but would not be surprised if the republican nominee is Rudy. The video was just way to funny. When Chuck Norris jumps in a lake, Chuck Norris doesn't get wet, the lake gets Chuck Norris.

2 Huckabee? HUCKABEE?? O. M. G. Don't get me started He's one of the reasons I left Arkansas for Missouri Example of Brilliant Huckabee plan: "We're gonna close all the schools with less than 1,000 kids and bus them to where ever they need to go to school so we don't have to pay for them anymore." Result? 87% of Arkansas schools are now over crowded and oh yea, theres less than 4 counties who were given the monetary funds to build new ones. Then he took the savings and created some anti-obesity program for schools nationwide. Jimmy can't read, but by gawd he can Jog! So much for storing highschool fat to feed ourselves through middle age.

The below clip is a hilarious compilation of people having a bad day at the office overreacting to their situation. To make it better they did it to the the song Bad Day by Daniel Powter. I know that at one point I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes... especially the guy with the axe.

1 Heheheh... the dude launching himself across the table? Looks familiar. BTW... when does the guy with the axe show up?

Posted by: That 1 Guy at November 17, 2007 10:26 AM (NJMQg)

2 I thought it was an axe, maybe it's a sledge hammer.

3 Heh. Even *I* knew that was a sledge hammer. :-) And if that weren't two guys fightin' in that conference room/pit scene I'd SWEAR that was a meeting I was in.... Priceless....

I know Halloween is over, but I found these and I have to share them. When I was in High School I discovered The Far Side by Gary Larson. I instantly loved the humor in it. From that time forward I would get the day by day calender he made until he retired and stopped making them. He started up the day to day calendar again, but with no new comics in it. Back in 1994 (Not the 20 years that the clips state) he came up with an animated Halloween special, Tales From the Far Side. As far as I know it only aired once. It's a collection of animated shorts based on some of his comics and other idea's he's had. In the third one it contains my favorite short from the series, "How aliens disguised as cowboys in the old west." To this day I still make references to this short around the campfire.

I have them listed in the order they were shown in the show, not in the order whoever uploaded them labeled them as.

Here's an entertaining animated short that is rather amusing. It has an interesting steampunk theme to it. It runs just under 8 minutes, but it is worth the watch.
