Jen and I picked up our new (to us) 2005 Honda Elemenopee (Element) on Thursday. Love it. Perhaps one of the more practical vehicles made. Rubberized material floors and special fabric seats allow for the interior to be hosed out if necessary. That'll come in handy, having a wee one around. The previous owner kept it in amazing condition so it's almost like buying a new one. Weird looking? Yes. But we like it, and at the end of the day...
However, I know I wouldn't, and highly doubt any of my friends would have the guts to try this...even when we were younger and stupididerer. I mean...jumping a snowmobile a few feet is one thing, but this is big.
Keep an eye out for the one big mistake.
I saw this clip on YouTube. It took this person less than an hour to paint this pic using ketchup for paint and fries for the brushes. It's time lapse photography so it only takes a couple minutes to watch. Pretty good!

Think about all 50 United States, and then, when you're ready, click the link below. It goes to an ajaxified quiz page, with a timer set to 10 minutes which starts counting down on page load, and a form entry field where you start typing the names of the states. When you get one right it automatically moves to a spontaneously generating list at to the bottom of the page. If the ten minutes elapse & you fail to name all fifty, the ones that you missed are revealed. Okay, now go.

It's not as easy as I thought it would be. When my time ran out, I was only at 46 out of 50 and it showed me the ones I missed which was very maddening...I couldn't believe I missed 4!!!

Yep, that's right sports fans, my mother won $5000 on friday (Feb.23rd) night! With the winnings, she and dad are going to go on a trip to the east coast this summer (by bus, of course, as Len won't fly), and maybe get some new windows in the porch and a new floor in the dining room. Nice timing as my dad celebrated his 70th birthday the very next day (24th). A very nice weekend was had, to say the least.
The Gas House Gang know how to do it. Oh. De mah.
Here's one of those University formed vocal groups, like The Brown Derbies, called MIT Resonance, doing a version of Mr. Brightside by The Killers. I really dig the original song which made me curious to hear it done this way. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the guy on lead do a good job, in fact, he kind of sounds like the original singer. One thing I hate about this kind of singing, however, is the fruity choreography that so often goes with it. Just sing the damn song, dammit, and stop jumpin' around like a bunch 'o' goofs! Yeah, yeah...I know...JUST DON'T LOOK!!!
Which, by the way, is how Lisa and Paul Anka saved Springfield from the commercialized monsters in "Attack of the 50 ft. Eyesores".
Here are some amazing, short film clips of things shot in super slow motion, using ridiculous fast film speeds. There are some pretty incredible clips showing horses running (which look gravity defying), snakes biting, a dog drinking water from a bowl, stuff falling into liquids...very simple, yet beautiful to watch. Each clip is only about 10 to 20 seconds long, so you can get through them pretty quickly. Worth checking oot!

If you are, then you'll probably find this site friggin' hilarious.
If not, check the original Craigslist out first, it's a free internet classified ad service that is worldwide. I sold my electric guitar on there last year.
Someone did a great parody of it here. There are a lot of posts to look at, but they're quick, and a lot of them are soooo damn funny.
Eg. Personal ad:
To the deaf guy who picked my pocket and then farted (St. Pweelo)
What gives, guy? How come I had to eat the blame for that fart? You dealt it, I smelt it. Plus I want my keys, badge and wallet back.
Eg. For Sale:
13 Malamutes for sale (Marina)
Slow, bad dogs … losers. Mint condition mini bike actually used in "The Two Towers" Eg. For Hire: Experienced Roofer (Culayne) Put it this way: if I'm on my game, I can do a 10,000 job Help me help you help your roof!
They knew what they had to do, and they didn’t do it. They didn’t get it done.14" Mini Bike Used in Lord of the Rings, $1200 (Hell's Kitchen)
in the scene where all the dwarves ride mini bikes around the giant camels after my girlfriend and I smoked meth.
for less than half that. If I'm slamming dope, which I am, then forget it.
Barats and Bereta are a comedy team that appear in the new Barenaked Ladies video, "Sound of Your Voice". They are only two of many YouTube "celebs" who make appearances in the video, and I'm sure you'll recognize many others in it as well. Great idea for a video! Below is the only video, so far, that I've seen from B&B, but it sure makes me laugh. It reminds me of me and my brother at times. Enjoy.
