Simpsons Intro
Check out this video that was put together to promote a new season of The Simpsons in the UK. They filmed the whole opening sequence using real-life people.
The 2006 Democratic Strategy
The Onion is on the case: Democrats Vow Not To Give Up Hopelessness. Congressional Democrats announced that, despite the scandals plaguing the Republican Party and widespread calls for change in Washington, their party will remain true to its hopeless direction. “We are entirely capable of bungling this opportunity to regain control of the House and [...]
What If Microsoft Redesigned the iPod Package?
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” – Albert Einstein
Blago’s Bubble
Evidently Illinois’ governor, Rod Blagojevich, doesn’t get out much: Blagojevich says he didn’t realize “The Daily Show” was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes-puzzled governor. At the very least, isn’t this what politicians have aides for? Here’s the clip from [...]
When Dicks Pull the Trigger at Inopportune Times
I guess that we should consider ourselves fortunate to live in this time of the bicentennial event of a Vice President shooting someone (the last being Aaron Burr in 1804). These things are rarer than seeing Halley’s Comet! A true spectacle that probably won’t be seen for about seven generations. My nominee for “Caption of [...]
Tonight We’re Going To Party Like It’s 1599
Forget evolution, how about getting rid of the whole heliocentric model of the solar system in textbooks? Evidently a group called Catholic Apologetics International still thinks the earth is at the center of the galaxy and is offering $1000 for proof otherwise: CAI will write a check for $1,000 to the first person who can [...]
Brokeback to the Future
Here’s a hilarious video by Chocolate Cake City on Google Video: Man, this could be dangerous now that I know how to link Google videos on the blog

On Poorly Placed Bottles and Logs
This post by my friend Todd had me cracking up! Now, I’m paranoid that maybe this picture was taken when our families were together and there’s a picture out there somewhere with me in a similar pose His pic rivals this one as innocent poses with unintentionally explicit sexual overtones:
My Mitch Hedberg-Like Observation of the Day
You know those “Have you seen this missing person” postcards that you get in the mail? I like the way they put pizza coupons on the back side of the postcard. That way, if you find the missing person, you can be like, “Dude, let’s go get some pizza to celebrate you being found. My [...]
Gym Note #114
If the question, “Do they make heavy-duty razors designed to handle shoulder hair?” applies to you, then please do not wear sleeveless shirts to the gym every single day.

Might want to set the beverage down before reading this blonde joke or else you may spit it all over your monitor. Pretty risque, but still safe for work… Link
From the “How Low Thresholds for Divisive Issues Has Become” Department
Indiana decides to recognize the insanity that is daylight savings time: All but 15 of Indiana’s 92 counties had rejected daylight-saving time for more than three decades, largely because it has been a highly emotional and divisive issue among residents. Seriously though, as out-of-staters that have flown out of Indianapolis’ airport, this is a long [...]
The Best and Worst Wedding Songs
My cousin has an entertaining thread open: What are some good and bad ideas for first dance songs at a wedding? You know you have some ideas…go to his blog and leave a comment. I only posted bad songs on his thread. They are: U2′s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For Probably anything [...]
A List By Dave Barry
I saw this list when we were eating at Jimmy John’s today and found it rather amusing. It’s from Dave Barry’s book, Dave Barry Turns 50. 25 Things I Have Learned in 50 Years By Dave Barry The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it. You will never [...]
Caption This Photo
I don’t know much about the new Pope other than that he is one scary looking dude: My caption would be: You only thought Darth Vader killed me at the end of Return of the Jedi. Feel free to add your own captions in the comments.
Headline of the Day Award
From the AP: Bill Clinton to Surprise U.N. Conference. The cat’s kind of out of the bag when the AP is reporting the story, isn’t it?
Top Ten Reasons President Bush Couldn’t Do His Jury Duty
In case you haven’t heard, here’s a link to the news. I’ll even throw in a 50% Christmas bonus for ya’ll. Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa Power. Bankrupted the jury’s refreshment fund on the first day by spending 10 times the budget for donuts and drinks. Got annoyed when other jurors continually [...]

That would be Carlton’s dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Check out i-Mockery to find out the origins of the dance, which happen to involve Bruce Springsteen and Courtney Cox.
From the “Genius Alert” Department
Meet Jonathan Baldino: A 19-year-old freshman at the University of Colorado faces criminal charges after police said he made a fake bar code label to buy an iPod for $4.99. The actual price of the MP3 player was $149.99. Jonathan Baldino was arrested Wednesday at a Target store and police said the electrical-engineering student admitted [...]
