Football (and working from home) explained

I, much like the author of “The Oatmeal,” don’t invest a lot of time in football. This pretty much sums it up for me.

Click the pic or here to get the full web comic about why working from home is both awesome and horrible. Via Gizmodo.

Well, I certainly didn’t expect that…

Wondermark is a generally solid web comic, and the surprise ending is a bit of specialty (like M. Night Shyamalan, except entertaining). But this strip really steps it up, you must, must MUST, click the pic to follow through to the full strip. MUST!!!

When funny isn’t LOL

You ever have the experience where something is technically ha-ha funny, but you don’t actually laugh? It may well be a well crafted, clever joke; you may find yourself obliged to acknowledge it as such. But for some reason it doesn’t actually elicit the elusive LOL.

Here, let me show you what I’m talking about:

25th Anniversary Voltron at ThinkGeek

Ah… Voltron… a much better toy than a cartoon as I learned when trying to watch old episodes a year or two back. So, don’t waste your money on the DVDs, just get the toy and continue assuming the show was as good as you remembered it to be.

By the way, my favorite bit in the product listing is “1:197 scale replica.” You know, because Voltron is real and is one hundred ninety seven feet tall.

Make your burger better by stuffing it with Stufz?

I’m sure the stuffed burger is not an uncommon phenomenon across this great nation. Many of you may have even tried to create your own at home, only the have forming and sealing issues which led to filling oozing out the side. Well, that’s about to come to an end my friends. Behold the Stufz.

I’m somewhat concerned that they never show anyone using the product in the commercial they have posted on their site. They do show someone throwing it on the ground though to demonstrate how durable it is though, so at least we know it’s good for that… Also, I’m not sure why they make a point of mentioning that Stufz is made in Michigan AND made in the USA. “Made in Michigan? I would really rather buy something made in the good old US of A.”

Ok, one last thing… what’s up with the picture? Is it on fire? Is it cooking? If so, why is it in a bun already? Is it an explosion? Is Stufz dangerous? Any time I see unnecessary explosions, I’m reminded of the old TV show “The Fall Guy.” I’m not sure why. You might ask, why not “Knight Rider,” or “The A-Team“? Well, that’s because the explosions in those programs were totally necessary.

Oh, and you can click on the pic, to go to the product page and buy your own Stufz.

Homemade (kid-made) Ferris Wheel

This looks pretty cool, and at least a little bit dangerous. Whenever I see anything like this, I assume a children of the corn, or lord of the flies scenario has just played out. Presumably if there were adults around they would have at least sucked the fun out of the project if not killed it altogether.

So, either this is an old picture, or there’s some magical place in the world where parents don’t freak out about everything their kids do.

I suppose it’s possible it did happen here in the U.S. recently and parents were too busy watching Survivor?

Anyway, whatever loophole allowed this to happen, congratulations kids, looks like a heck of a lot of fun.

What This World Could Use Is a Fountain of Smart

Although I’m not a huge fan of the design of this t-shirt, I do very much agree with the sentiment. I’ll even admit I could use a sip from the fountain of smart from time to time, particularly on a Monday morning.

Dirty Harry meets his match

Well, I’ve got to say, I didn’t see that coming… Click the pic to head over to the Xkcd site to check out more random humor.

I do find myself wondering what the series of events would be that leads to Rain Man being shot at by Dirty Harry.

Christmas babies get the shaft

As xkcd points out in the strip below (and I can agree with based on my 12/22 birthday), folks born on or around Christmas can miss out on some of the attention they might otherwise get on their birthday.

On the other hand, there are some perks too. For instance, I only had to go to school on my birthday once as a kid.
