Get Happy

[UPDATE]:

It's so much funnier with the death-metal soundtrack.

------------------------------

I'm sorry, two posts in one day from me ... but I just had to share this video of a young penguin at the South Pole literally dancing for joy in the snow. What a wonderful way to start the New Year! Maybe the little guy was worried about global warming:

The Jokes Just Write Themselves

Juvenile bedbugs have been found in the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?

And the Tweet of the day is:

What Breed Of Liberal Are You?

I'm an eco-avenger. Take the test:

My Liberal Identity:

You are an Eco-Avenger, also known as an environmentalist or tree hugger. You believe in saving the planet from the clutches of air-fouling, oil-drilling, earth-raping conservative fossil fools.

Don’t Drunk Dial FreedomWorks

I friendly little Public Service Announcement from Socialists Aquarians who care:

Arrivederci

God I love the Italians. This just cracked me up.

Bet She Won’t Try THAT Again

Newscoma had a hilarious post up Saturday about “cannibalistic advertising.” You know, those cute food mascots like the scrappy Frosted Mini-Wheats (including "Mr. Mini Wheat”), who brag about how they provide such a nutritious breakfast for their human, right before he chomps them to bits and washes them down with milk.

Just, ewww. Never understood why advertising agencies thought putting a human face on food was a good idea. Kind of flies in the face of tens of thousands of years of human taboos, guys.

Anyway, with that in mind I happened across this hilarious LSD propaganda film. What does this have to do with cannibalistic advertising? Just watch, you’ll see:



With that in mind, the holiday is over and I’m retreating back into my hole. Hope to be finished with my project in a couple weeks.

Spell Check Nation

Bobbie's Dairy Dip, Nashville, TN, September 2009:

Here I Am

Guess where I am?

The Birther Conspiracy

The best conspiracy EVER! How could it possibly fail?

Now I’ve Seen Everything

Snuggie Pub Crawls??

Even in NASHVILLE????

Okay, when I said I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one of these, I was talking about in my living room. I never imagined you wacky kids today would turn this into some kind of uniform for drunken frat boys. Y’all look like you’re members of a cult.

When you start handing out tracts about Snuggieism I’m gonna head for the hills.

Hilarious.

"Majority, Here We Come!"

SNL's skit about the politically tone-deaf and disconnected Republican caucus was just brilliant. Someone must have hidden a mic in John Boehner's office. Enjoy :

He Was Framed, I Tell Ya! Framed!

Apologies to Molly Bish and family but this is a hilarious news blooper:

The WTF Blanket

Jim Voorhies sent me this because I made fun of the Snuggie during Christmas.

It's absolutely hilarious.

Only In Utah

I don’t understand Utah. Let some gays in California get married and it's the end of the world as we know it, but they don’t have a problem holding a funeral for a toilet:

On Friday at 10 a.m., the Carl's Jr. restaurant in Centerville will have a "moment of silence" for the potty that was destroyed last week when a patron's handgun fell out of the holster and fired as he was hitching up his pants.

[...]

Employees at the restaurant, 385 N. 800 West, will hand out bottles of Kaboom® Bowl Blaster toilet cleaner to the first 50 funeral attendees, he said, as "it was the toilet's favorite."

Really??

Y’all in Utah need to get out more. Just sayin’ ...

Those Wacky Kids

San Francisco’s famous Bush Street got a makeover yesterday.

Hilarious:

Fun With Sitemeter 2

Yes folks, it’s time to play fun with Sitemeter, a check of the recent search engine terms that brought people to my blog:

“can a store manager fire his staff for suspicion of theft just because he doese [sic] not like him?”

“i hate adventists”

“desperate people”

"rude people suck"

“clean my ass” (I get lots of those ever since I titled a post Clean Coal, My Ass. All I can say is, you people are sick.)

“Rush Limbaugh is insane” (I get quite a lot of those as well.)

Hummer H8

Hating on Hummers is a time-honored tradition on the left but Salon’s piece "The short, disgusting life of the Hummer” directed me to a site that is the perfect embodiment of Hummer hate:

“Ihumpedyourhummer.com." Yes, that’s right, I humped your Hummer, what’reyagonna do about it?

Some of the videos are hilarious. I especially liked the one of the guy on the mountain bike. Audio is not safe for work. Heck, the video probably isn’t, either.

Enjoy.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yes, I am celebrating my birthday today. I’m in good company: also celebrating on 11-11 are Leonardo DiCaprio, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore, Deana Carter, Kurt Vonnegut, and (ahem) Charles Manson.

I’ve already been given the best present ever: Barack Obama’s victory last week and Nashville's first Trader Joe's opening up the street from me. I don’t even care that Tennessee is one of the handful to states to lurch further to the right, which was totally predictable. We're one of those states that's nearly last in everything, or almost first in everything horrible. I think we're a little slow on the uptake. Hey, it's not our fault, there's all sorts of crap in the water here.

Here are a few other random birthday presents I’d like to have:

• From the news media: An end to the Sarah Palin stories. I’m tired of her, already. It’s time for her to go back to Alaska and worry about how she’s going to balance the state budget now that oil has dropped below $60/barrel.

• From my ISP: please fix whatever glitch has rendered me unable to access a host of blogs, including my own (once again, I can post but I can’t read comments). I have to go to a coffee house to read my own blog. Aargh. Second time this has happened.

• From E*Trade: Those talking baby commercials really freak me out. Find another spokesman, please. Giving cute little tykes adult mannerisms to sell us stuff is just creepy.

* From Rachel Maddow: More! Just ... more! Take that, Sean Hannity!

Cat + Box = Fun

I could watch this all day:

Ricky Gervais & Thandie Newton Reenact Sarah Palin Porn Flick

From a recent appearance on the Graham Norton show. Best line: "Better get ready Santa, 'cause Mama’s about to melt the North Pole!"

British television is so much better than ours!
