Here kitty kitty...
This is just plain funny. The sequel isn't as good, but go to 'The Other Side' and check out some of the other ones. Fun.

More funny
Okay, here's the main page for the animations mentioned in my last post. They're funny as hell. Twisted. Go there. Conform. Consume. Obey. (Those being the sentiments of Mr. Snaffleburger.)

Animation
My friend Andy made this animation. We're so proud.

I'm a type 1.
This personality test was highly insightful, and very quick. Go take it. Let me know how you fare.

POP!
I have found the most boring computer game ever...
... and yet at the same time, it's sort of addictive and oddly soothing.
November 3, 2002
Yeah, I'm still up...
Wandering the web, ya know.
Made myself a license plate at this online mock-up license plate thingy.
I was going to attempt to import the picture and post it here and be all fancy and shit, but it didn't work. I am sad and weak. Go make your own.
Um, yeah
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
On the one hand, anyone should be allowed to blog, right? On the other hand, this is freakin' Wil Wheaton.
So, why am I torn on this so-called issue? Well, I guess I feel that celebrities ought to want to retain whatever privacy they have. On the other hand, what the hell, if the guy wants to put his life out there, who am I to criticize?
And I have to appreciate the fact that he does improv, don't I? At least, theoretically?
Eck. I think I'm just peeved that it wasn't John Cusack or Edward Norton or Scott Cohen or someone else whose acting I feel particularly drawn to.
Sigh.
Ozzy Osbourne? Drunk?? Nah!
I was just blogjumping and found 'Mug Shots of the Rich and Famous.'
Is it wrong that I enjoy stuff like this?

Pregnant Washing Machine
Have you ever taken part in the pregnancy pool at the office? You know, like when someone's pregnant and you take bets on what she'll have, and when, and how big itll be, and all that? The problem with those polls is that you have to wait for someone to get pregnant.
Problem solved.
Which? Magazine (I guess it's the UK's version of Consumer Reports) is trying to break a washing machine, and you can bet on when it'll break. How cool is that??
I bet 26 days, 14 hours, 33 minutes, 18 seconds. (Don't take my time! I don't want to split the prize with you!)
rOD bet "9-odd days."
I want to try something like this... quick, think of something I can break!

You tell me what this says
Okay, I don't know how to post a picture, but go here and tell me what YOU think it says on this ornament.
Sorta brings a new meaning to the fact that it's "mouth-blown."
With decorative glitter, even.

Gotta have faith
I love Christmas. I do. But when I see a singing menorah, it just makes me wish I was Jewish.
Then I remember six thousand years of persecution, and decide being a lapsed Catholic is sort of okay.
December 11, 2002
Yes, David, there is a Santa Claus.
This is brilliant.
A guy sent a letter to Santa Claus. Via Fed Ex. With delivery tracking.
Apparently Santa's moved to Colorado.

On why Trekkies never get laid
Okay, so Statia and Mikey have weighed in with their opinions on the ever-annoying Wil Wheaton. (God, why do I keep blogging about him? Why do we ALL keep blogging about him??) In any case, I was doing a little investigation into my own search string usage statistics and found this - which is related to both my usage and Wil "Emoting-on-screen-is-too-exhausting-for-me" Wheaton.
That's right, it's a Klingon Beauty Pageant.
That is so far beyond freakish it's not even funny. Please God, don't let the people who think these things up ever breed.

ONE
Thanks to Mikey, I found One Word. They give you a single word for you to write about for a single minute. It's simple, it gets your creative juices flowing, and it's a nice break in the day.
Not that I particularly need a reason to take a break - especially today, when my whole day has been a break. Yeehaw. The work strike continues.
In the spirit of Christmas
Okay, so this is probably - no, definitely - super sacrilegious, but is there any possibility that the second coming of Christ might be in the form of sharks?

Junkyard game
Okay, so I am pretty much obsessed with everything on TLC or BBCAmerica. One particular favorit of mine is Junkyard Wars. Now you too can play at home - well, sort of - there's an official Junkyard Wars Rumble in the Jungle game. It's hard.

Cloned sheep for eternity
So, they put Dolly the cloned sheep on display at the Edinburgh Royal Museum.
It's odd: I like natural history museums, but Dolly wasn't exactly natural. And I like science museums, but for goodness sake, she was a sheep. So I'm not sure how to feel about a stuffed sheep that will forever live in the hearts and minds of museumgoers.
But since I'm going to Edinburgh this fall, I might check it out, see how I feel in person!

FUN!
So, I found this CD swap thingy over in Kymberlie's blog and I thought, "Oooh! I want to burn myself a fun springtime CD!" And now I am planning in my head how I can plan a CD full of good driving music when I don't drive... I'll manage somehow, I suppose.

A lost art form
Through a friend on the Wedding Channel message boards, I found this site, which purports to be the home of "the premier Chainsaw Wood Sculptor in Minnesota."
Well, la di da.
Trying to figure it all out
Okay, so, like I said, I'm doing this blogshares thing. It's like the stock market, but you have "stock" in blogs. So, I bought shares in this blog, and then for whatever reason it was devalued, and I lost money, and that makes me sad. So really, this entry, in which I reference the devalued blog, is really just a pitiful attempt on my part to see if I can revalue the blog that I have now repeatedly linked to. Which may or may not be cheating. I haven't played the blogshare game thingy long enough to know.
I actually bought it for really good reason. The owner of the page, Fuzzy Gerdes, is an improviser who I've seen perform and when his site came up in a random search I was doing, I thought, why the hell not? So I have some shares - not many, mind you, but enough that I was disappointed to find that they were worth nothing at all. So we'll see if this cheating thing works. I'll let you know. Because if it does, maybe it's not cheating at all, it's just a creative solution.
Or maybe I'm inherently evil, I can't tell yet.

Google whack!
So, there is this new thing called googlewhacking. Basically, a google whack is any two words entered into the google search engine that wind up having only one result. I find this fascinating. Today, I entered random words in until I found three googlewhacks.
Of course, I cannot tell you what my googlewhacks were, or else they would come up twice in the engine and would no longer be whacks, but if your interested you can go to the list of whacks on the googlewhack site and look for me.
Or go enter some words into google and see if you can report one yourself. G'wan. It's fun. And mildly addictive.

Why I have a blog...
November 10, 2003
Ah, the eighties.
I took an eighties music quiz online. It was downright frightening how many songs I remembered the lyrics to, so much so that I managed to get this "award" for my score:

Wrath of God
I found this great game! When Biff pisses me off, now I will just go smite people!

Where have I been?
I've apparently visited twenty states. Somehow I thought it was more.

Strange, strange connections
On amazon.com, they have a thing which offers suggestions for you based on previous purchases. For example:
Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Complete Sixth Season was released today; We thought you'd be interested because you bought Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete First Season.
Seems logical, right?
Sometimes the connections are slightly less direct:
Walt Disney Treasures - The Chronological Donald, Volume 1 (1934 - 1941) was released today; We thought you'd be interested because you bought Muppets Magic: From The Ed Sullivan Show.
Those're both kid stuff of a historical sort, so that makes sense.
But how do these things even REMOTELY connect???
Bill Clinton's My Life was released today; We thought you'd be interested because you bought The Dog Lover's Companion to Boston: The Inside Scoop on Where to Take Your Dog.
I guess maybe the folks at Amazon figured that since I was looking for a place where my puppy could poop in public, I would enjoy reading a book wherein a former president publicly proclaimed that people pooped on him and in turn he pooped on some other people?
Pah. Poop on you, Amazon.

All the world's a googlewhack.
A long time back I wrote and entry about googlewhacking. At the time, I was trying to find googlewhacks, and having a darn good time of it too. Well, today I was bored at work (as I often am) and rather than work on my resume (which I should have been doing) I decided to try to find some googlewhacks.
And in doing so, I realized that I could make my blog a source of googlewhack material. All I have to do is create plausible entries for those word combinations I find that current have no google hits.
For example: You wouldn't think it, but amoebae are known for their sassy ribaldries.
If all goes according to plan, amoebae and ribaldries will now create a whack - which is not terribly surprising in that they are not everyday words and don't seem particularly likely to be together.
Amoebae don't have eukaryotes, but if they did you'd have ribaldries on the mitochondrial level too.
Yes, that's right. I'm a big geek. I know it. I embrace it.
Oh, and by the way, hippopotami are well known for their penuriousness.
I think I need professional help.

Happy, happy, me, me.
I'm very happy today. And not just because this picture shows off Gabe's and Johnny's asses.

Blogathon game of the hour
Every hour, the people who are running the Blogathon do some games. I though I would participate in this one, because I think it's fun. The task is to go to Google. Put in "Your name is" and post the results.
Here are mine:
Laughatlantis is a bad beat in poker
{Pounding) LaughAtlantis is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway
LaughAtlantis is doing things with these people
LaughAtlantis is visiting 31 places
LaughAtlantis is offline
Those first two are on the same page of a message board where improvisers are one-up-ing each other's insults. There are several more fun ones on that page, but none of them showed up in the search. Poop.
Surfing
I was just wandering through some other people's blogs. I am approaching the halfway point now, but there are folks out there who are almost done - with the drooled-upon keyboards to prove it!
There are a lot of people who came up with cool stuff to do while blogging. I've seen people sewing, running trivia quizzes and scavenger hunts, going out and taking pictures... all sorts of things. Maybe next year I will do something like that... once I figure out if I can make it through twenty-four hours remaining lucid the whole time. Some of the other bloggers have been creative and productive with things outside of just their blog.
But they don't have dog puke now, do they?? No! I'm SPECIAL!
