  • Ford creates man’s dream world

    In a recent commercial from for the Falcon XR8 Ute, Ford has created a manly man’s dream world. The paper delivery isn’t a newspaper, but a burrito, a group of men chase after a beer truck called "Mr. Frothy", most of the stores in the town have large signs that read "Tools". Oh, and the theater is running "BEER: The Musical". I’d watch that. πŸ™‚ Click here to read more and watch the video.

  • Superdickery

    A coworker sent me this today: Superdickery.com

    Look in the galleries, specifically 'Seduction of the Innocent', old comic covers or panels with captions full of innuendo. Some hilarious stuff here. Some gems here, here, here, and here. Hilarious, and often, very wrong. Enjoy!

  • Hilariousness

    A friend at work sent me this last week:
    Mike O'Connell – What's It Gonna Be?

    Something someone sent me a while back, or I found randomly:
    Casino Royale II 

  • Shoes

    Yesterday a coworker sent me a link to a funny video titled Shoes, by comedian Liam Sullivan. Thought I'd share it, and a couple of the other Liam Sullivan videos I found on YouTube, though you can download them from his site (even in iPod format) if you want to keep them around. Enjoy!

    Shoes, Muffins, Hard-Hitting Questions, and Love Letters  

    Oh my gawd, shoes. 

  • More Sick

    Yesterday I hate a WHOLE Pizza (13" Tex Mex from Hot Lips). After eating said pizza, I felt a little better, and sleepy. Got about 10 hours of sleep last night. Woke up feeling OK, but now I'm feeling really teary-eyed and sniffly, with a tiny bit of a cough coming on. I have a feeling this is going to last way too long. Argh. 

  • Videos: God, Inc., episodes 1 and 2

    Found some fun videos on YouTube while eating lunch today, two episodes of God, Inc. by Francis Stokes. You can watch them on his website, francisstokes.com. The comedy reminds me of The Office, or Office Space, but with a twist, the employees in this office work in the corporate offices of God, handling public affairs, marketing, etc. A fine example of the comedy is this:

    A new employee is meeting about her new role in the company…

    Manager: Sarah Melody Church, you're going to be in product development, right?
        Sarah: That's right.
    Manager: OK… birth
        Sarah: June 3rd, 1976
    Manager: OK, and death?
        Sarah: November 5th, 2006
    Manager: How did you die?
        Sarah: Leukemia
    Manager: Oooh, ouch. That sucks.
        Sarah: Yeah, it was pretty painful, but I had the support of my friends and family, so, that meant a lot.
    Manager: Yeah… Isn't there a cure for that? (looking puzzled)
        Sarah: No (also looking puzzled)
    Manager: (looks at a sheet behind his desk) … Oh, yeah, that's next year. (Makes "tough luck" face)
        Sarah: … (looks at floor, sadly)

    Apparently he's working on Epsiode 3 now. I think these along with Chad Vader are among my favorite web videos of all time. Enjoy! πŸ™‚

  • 100 tidbits of knowledge

    Reading though my list of usual news sites this morning, I came across this from BBC News: 100 things we didn't know last year. Did you know that the lion costume from Wizard of Oz was made of real lion skins? Did you know that more than 90% of plane crashses have survivors? Fascinating.

  • HalloBirthdayWeen 2006

    Had a great birthday / Halloween party this Saturday. My lovely wife Kelly invited my friends over, and secretly invited them to dress up for Halloween without my knowledge. I had known about the party, but only learned of the costume part on my birthday when Kelly gave me a Black Knight costume (from Monty Python and the Holy Grail). The party was loads of fun, and pretty much everybody dressed up. Special costume mentions go to Ghost Dog for his Space Ghost costume, Snooks (and his gf) for the zombie ickiness, and Ean for his pimp outfit. See the photo site for more pics. Thanks everybody! (NOTE: Posted late, because well, I was none too well on Sunday, and have been busy with work since.)

  • Birth day

    On October 25, 1974, at approximately 6:50 AM, the skies darkened and the Earth shook. This is the day I was brought into this world, and it was forever changed. Well, ok, maybe not, but still I can dream, can't I? πŸ™‚

    Turning 32 isn't that big a deal, much like turning 27, 28, 29, or 31. At least 30 was a 'decade birthday'. Turning 32 is sort of like "yup, you're older than 21, but not 40". Not that special. However, it could be worse, I could be 12 (all the energy, none of the money) or 62 (all the money [I hope] and none of the energy). The only birthday I'm looking forward to is my 37th, related to a Monty Python and the Holy Grail quote:

    King Arthur: Old woman.
    Dennis: Man.
    King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
    Dennis: I'm 37.
    King Arthur: What?
    Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
    King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
    Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
    King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
    Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
    King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked…
    Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
    King Arthur: Well I am king.
    Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
