The Perry Bible Fellowship
Sep 25, 2007

I’ve recently discovered the Perry Bible Fellowship. It’s a brilliantly illustrated comic with a twisted sense of humor and cute imagery. I love combinations like that. It’s definitely worth checking out for it’s sheer creativity.

Plus, for the fact that it is most definitely NOT a Perry Bible Fellowship.

David Blaine Parody
Jul 10, 2007

Tired of all those street magicians that claim that all the people in their YouTube videos are genuine strangers on the street? Here’s a really funny parody on that, and more. Starts a little slow, but gets really good.

Bubble Wrap Simulator

Apparently, the Japanese have now created a simulator that feels exactly like popping bubble wrap. This, my friends, is the epitome of human technology.

Microsoft Surface Parody
Jun 20, 2007

You may have seen the Microsoft Surface teaser video, which introduces Microsoft’s multi-touch research. It’s going to be interesting to watch Microsoft and Apple battle it out for the title of superior touch interfaces.

In the mean time, SarcasticGamer has made a great parody of the teaser vid, complete with a voice over that is just spot on to the original.

Counting to a Million
Jun 20, 2007

This goes into the inane category: Jeremy Harper is counting to one million and broadcasting the entire thing live. He’s also blogging about the whole experience. To make money, they’re letting advertisers sponsor blocks of one thousand numbers, using eBay to auction off each block. Basically, it’s similar to the one million dollar homepage idea, except this time, it’s a boring video of a guy counting.

However, as we’ve learned from the internet before, viral media can be both boring in principle and successful. He’s currently on the 29000 block, and they’ve gotten around 30 sponsors.

Below is a YouTube vid of Jeremy starting his count:

Close Those Chips

Yes, you too can close bags of chips without a clip. Now, I can finally go buy chips again, since I hate closing bags!

The Cowvac
Jun 27, 2005

Tippy just had to get this Cowvac that we saw at Walmart (made by Black and Decker). No, we couldn’t just go and get a normal looking hand vacuum. I mean, the thing looks udderly ridiculous! (Sorry, couldn’t resist).

The vac itself has spots all over it, and the cow supposedly sucks up the dirt and grime into its mouth. The handle in the back is the tail of the cow. What’s even more amazing is the presence of udders on the bottom, and it is this part that hooks into the charger.

I can just imagine the product design team having a brainstorm.

“Hmm, what about handvacs shaped like animals?”

“Yeah, what about a cow! That would drive sales up!”

“Oh, and we can put little cute bovine details on the vacuum too.”

In the end, I find it somewhat surreal that I’m vacuuming with a cow in hand. Tippy claims that it would push us to vacuum more often, just for the sheer fact that we get to handle a cow. Suprisingly, I think she may be right.

Flowery
May 7, 2005

I’ve come to the conclusion that girls hate to carry their wallets. This is further excerbated by the fact that a large portion of women’s clothing do not have adequate pockets. This leaves only a few solutions: keep the wallet at home, keep the wallet in a purse, keep only money and an ID in a pocket, or let the guy carry it. For Tippy, it comes to down to the last choice.

This has many consequences. I am caught off guard when suddenly becoming the wallet-bearer. It usually happens in an instant, and then, I’m standing there with the wallet. I put it in my pocket (as I do with my own gigantic wallet), and time passes. That is, until I need to pay for something, and what I pull out is:

Flowery Wallet

This, is quite an embarrasment. Sure, the wallet may be quite fashionable for a chic woman. But, I am hardly that, and am now stuck with a flowery wallet that will linger in the memories of all who surround me.

Lemon Poopy Seed

I’m not so sure I want to try “poopy seeds”.

I saw this typo at a Starbucks in Chicago airport.

Note to self: Do not place arm on edge of the frying pan when it is hot. Let this be a warning to everyone.
