Tha Chronic: Narnia style
Posted onMaybe SNL will recover and once again become a shining beacon of comedy. For now they are just eh but this video short “Lazy Sunday” is worth watching.

I Want It That Way
Posted onHappy Friday! This video clip of two Chinese students lip syncing to a Backstreet Boys song just made my entire day. I’m not sure I wanted it that way but I’m still happy that I got it. My favorite part is how there is a third jersey wearing guy in the background paying zero attention to the guys carrying on in back of him. Enjoy!
I’ve Got A Fever And The Only Cure Is More Coq Roq News
Posted onI just love how this story has legs, or maybe drumsticks would be the better term.
First of all, if you google “coq roq” this blog is at the bottom of the first results page, which might explain the healthy amount of comments on the first Coq Roq related post.
Second, it turns out that some fellow rocker are offended. The KISS/Gwar combo rockers (who cannot spell) SliPKnot are suing BK because “SliPKnoT fans have expressed confusion and criticism over what they think is SliPKnoT endorsing Burger King.” Get the full legal complaint at, where else, the Smoking Gun’s site.
Thanks once again goes to Todd.
The Sith Sense
Posted onChallenge Darth Vader to a game of 20 questions he likes to call The Sith Sense. My object was an radish which he guessed on the 17th question. Once again, the agency handling the Burger King account has developed a seriously cool viral concept. I especially likes the effect when Vader shakes your screen.
Cool stuff.
Thanks Scott
Me: #1 on Google
Posted onIf you google me (Jeff Lipson) your result number one result is this journal entry that I logged while I was at Woodstock ’94. Even better than text, if you click on the picture, you hear my 17 year old voice leaving an audio entry – sweet! My friend George logged an entry as well. This is truly old school in terms of the ‘net – again, it was done in 1994 – which might explain why both of ours are the #1 results for our names. Longevity matters in some respect to how search engines crawl and classify sites. Speaking of results, a previous post to this blog is the #2 result for George which is nice. Now I’ve got to work on getting this blog associated with Jeff Lipson and with Seven Squared – only sevensquared returns results. Verdict: not good.
Meta tags rule – literally and figuratively, but figuratively only if you are on top. Otherwise, they are a plain drag.
Puzzle Du Jour II
Posted onMy department head seriously decreased productivity yesterday when he sent out a link to this puzzle game called Crimson Room. Basically, there are 13 items hidden in the room that you need to obtain in order to get out of this room.
If you find:
>> 0-6 items: Your IQ is very low, total idiot
>> 6-8 items: Low IQ, you are an idiot
>> 9-10 items: You are normal
>> 11-12 items: Your IQ is high, above the average.
>> 13 items found and you get out of the room: Mazel tov! Not many people can do it so you should be very proud of yourself.
Trust me, this puzzle can be solved and you can get out of the room. I know this because I’ve gotten out. The only hint I’ll give is that at some point, the number 1994 is important. I only give this out because as this game is a few years old, that number, which is needed to finish the game, is no longer available. That’s all I’m saying.
If you get stuck, email me and I’ll help you out.
Thanks Phil
“…And Knowing’s Half the Battle”
Posted onFROM EBAUMSWORLD:
“Remember how at the end of every G.I. Joe Cartoon they would have some short educational segment and it would always end with the line “And Knowing Is Half The Battle”? These clips are dubbed over with new dialogue and even some of the animation is changed and remixed. The result is so hilarious that I almost wet my pants the first time I saw them. Watch the videos closely to catch it all. If you don’t get it, don’t worry. It is meant to be random and goofy. We want to thank Fensler Films for creating these videos.“
Guess Which Dictator or Sitcom Star I am
Posted onMy 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!
