Sometimes I just stumble across fun little facts and/or tidbits. When that happens, they will wind up duly noted in this category.
D. C. Douglas lost his gig as the voice-over announcer for Geico commercials after leaving a rather nasty message on the voice mail for the Teabagger group known as FreedomWorks. This is a hilarious satirical video about their reaction to his message, and calls out the Teabagger for what it actually is…an astro-turf, Koch Industry’s funded front group which has managed to get people to vote against their own best interests in support of big corporations.
Read moreIf you’ve ever played any of the old school video games, Tetris, Pacman, Donkey Kong and others, you’ll love this video. The effects are amazing. It’s what would happen if the Pixels took over New York City. Look for characters from Space Invaders, Pacman, Tetris, Arkanoid, Donkey Kong, and Frogger.
Read moreThursday was a long and grueling day at work. After work I raked leaves and did some yard cleanup. So I was ready to sit down and relax with a nice cold cup of diet coke after my shower. Instead, I wound up with a major clean-up/disaster recovery effort on my hands.
Read moreSo pulling the table cloth off and not moving the dishes has been done forever, and is still a pretty cool trick if you can pull it off (pun intended). But in this video, some guys take it to a whole new level. They use a BMW S 1000 RR Superbike to pull off a tablecloth with 24 complete place settings with all the trimmings on a giant rectangular table. This is pretty cool.
Read moreWe posted one video of this group a few days ago. This is similar, but does add a few additional bits to the routine. All pretty funny stuff. Worth the five minutes to watch.
Read moreThis is a hilarious youtube of a comedy team called Men in Coats. It is very funny, and creative. I especially like the pulling the hat out of the rabbit (just watch, you’ll see what I mean).
Read moreI must admit, shoveling snow is not much of a concern when you live in Tampa, but for my many friends in the colder climates further north, here’s a little something you probably wish you had…especially this winter. Here is the Robo Plow, built obviously by a bunch of people with a lot of time on their hands during the winter. Now, if they’d just come up with one for raking those damned Live Oak leaves. Now that I could go for.

Read moreOkay, this may have been around for a while, but I had not seen it, and I’m amazed. This is a performance by a couple named David and Dania on “America’s Got Talent”. Even in one change, you can kind of see the dress change while it’s on her, but I can not for the life of me figure out how it’s done.

Read moreEach year, usually when the weather is like this in January or February, I get a visitor. She’s been coming around every year for at least five or six years, and this year she’s about a month early. She also has a boyfriend this year. Earlier this morning I heard a tapping on the sliding glass door in the dining room. When I went to look, there she was, a cardinal tapping on the door, then flying into it trying to get in, or seeing herself in its reflection. I’m not sure which.
