Best of Blah Blah Blog (week of 8/2)

Posted on

For months now, I have been enjoying the smart, esoteric and down right hilarious posts that appear on my co-worker Chris DiClerico’s blog (which oddly enough is located at www.chrisdiclerico.com). Many days Chris will arrive at work and ask me, “Have you seen my blog?” which means one of four different things:

A) He learned something interesting

B) He found something that is pretty cool

C) He saw something that is very funny

D) He did something that is one or probably all of the above and I’m going to laugh my ass off hearing about it

I will then go to his site, read the post and most of the time I’ll then post that info to my own site (giving credit usually to Chris). He has a committed base of authors who regularly post, which is something that I do not have. So, as an homage to his site, and to copy how CNN International airs a Daily Show “Hightlights of the Week” show, I have decided to each week to write a “Best of Blah Blah Blog” post.

Here is the first installment:

>> Create your own South Park character is a fun little app featured on the South Park site.

>> The Simpsons Personality Test is exactly what is says: you answer a number of “strongly agree/agree/disagree/strongly disagree” questions and the site tells you which Simpsons character you most closely resemble.

>> A picture says a thousand words. This animal is real. Sick!

A Day at the Pool

Posted on

Bill Gates was spotted at Wild Waves in Seattle – check out the photos that a STAR 101.5’s listener took! Funny that he doesn’t have his own wave pool in the backyard – I mean, its not like he’s the richest guy in the world…wait, he IS the richest guy in the world…cheap ass

Two Heads are Better Than One

Posted on

You’ve heard the phrase “two heads are better than one” at some point in your life. In order to prove it, why don’t you check out a two-headed turtle? Okay, not convinced…how about then a two-headed snake? Okay, okay, so you don’t believe that adage. Well maybe two heads are not better than one – but six legs have to be better than four, right? Check out this six-legged cow – the extra two legs come out of its chin! How awesome is that?! Okay, okay, I got it…its not that two heads are better than one or that six legs are better than four, its that two bodies are better than one, like this fish that has two bodies!.

If you want to check out the rest of nature’s oddities, the Texas Reptiles web site is for you. Don’t mess with Texas – or else it’ll sick a six-legged cow and a two-headed turtle on your ass!

Druids In the News

Posted on

It seems that a a 26 year old druid was arrested in England today for carrying his sword into a local hardware store. news.com.au has the full story.

“The 26-year-old was charged with possessing an offensive weapon after a security guard saw him with the sheathed 90cm blade draped over his shoulder as he browsed through a branch of Wilkinson Hardware.

About a dozen fellow members of the Insular Order of Druids sat in the court’s public gallery, while chief druid King Arthur Pendragon, wearing white robes with a red lion emblazoned on the front, acted as Williams’s legal adviser.

The sword, named Talisen, has been confiscated by police as evidence.”

I’m wonding if anyone I met at Tree’s wedding last summer is English. Thanks go to Chris DiClerico and his Blah Blah Blog for finding this piece of gold. He shall receive a +2 dagger along with a flask that restores 25 hit points for the effort.

This Judge Pumps It Up

Posted on

It looks like Donald D. Thompson, a district judge in Creek County, Oklahoma is now on the wrong end of the law. If he goes away to jail, he’s going to make a very attractive mate due the reasons for his incarceration. Read the full complaint at the Smoking Gun’s site. You’ll never look at our legal system the same again. If only Night Court was still on air, it would have a field day with this one.

Thanks Phyllis for sending this along.

Guess Which Dictator or Sitcom Star I am

Posted on

My friend Phyllis sent me this great link which can keep you entertained for minutes, if not hours. You pretend to be a dictator or television sitcom character and the site tries to guess who you are by asking simple yes/no questions. I tried it twice: once the site was right (correctly guessing that I was Stewie from “The Family Guy”) and once it was wrong (incorrectly guessing that I was Luann from “King of the Hill” when I was really Daisy Duke from “The Dukes of Hazzard”).

Have fun!

Jessie's New Boss: Steven King

Posted on

This is a funny little story about Jessie’s new uber-boss:

THE SKELETON’S IN STEVE KING’S CLOSET – Don’t expect newly anointed Zenith Optimedia chief Steve King to relocate the media buying giant’s worldwide headquarters to New York any time soon. In keeping with Zenith’s roots, the company will remain in London. But the Riff can’t help wondering if the reason has more to do with a horrible experience King had while working for Zenith in New York, than it does with any other real estate issues. It seems that during the mid-1990s when King served as COO of Zenith North America and was working in its Houston Street offices in Lower Manhattan, he would mistakenly receive mail from another Steve King. “Penguin Books, was in the same building, and at the time they were publishing some of Stephen King’s books,” recalls Zenith’s King. “Most of my mail when I was general manager and COO of Zenith came from strange people sending in the weirdest letters, like, ‘Would you like me to tell you my story about how I butchered my husband and have him buried in my basement?”
