Awkward Sleep Ramblings

Have you ever had a roommate or significant other that talked in their sleep?  It can be really funny, it can be awkward and it can be downright scary sometimes!  Awkward Sleep Ramblings is a place for you to record all this weirdness and laugh at others unfortunate mutterings.

Although many of the odd things people say when sleeping tend to make no sense whatsoever, many of them are hilarious!  Have you ever tried talking back to someone who is sleep-talking? Sometimes you get nothing, but often you can have a whole, very odd conversation that the talker will probably not recall at all, upon awakening, LOL. If my significant other did this, I'd be recording them!  

Awkward Sleep Ramblings makes a good place to read too (perhaps when you have insomnia?!) if you aren't fortunate to sleep near one of these strange people of your own.  Go see!

Let's Say Thanks

Let's Say Thanks is a wonderful lil website that allows us in the US to send a card to one of our many troops out there, standing up and helping preserve our freedom.  They will send a free, printed postcard of your choice to show your support & appreciation for all they do. 

It's a small thing but it means so much to those guys to receive something from a stranger, saying 'thank you' and getting a little recognition.  They have one of the hardest jobs in the world, they do without their families, they do without a whole lot of necessities in fact.  It is because they are willing to stand for our country that we remain free! 

It doesn't cost you anything - it's FREE.  You don't have to support the war or the president - but you *should* support our troops.  If you aren't willing to support those who will fight for your freedoms, feel free to stand in front of them!!

If we all send just one card, it would be a huge boost for so many soliders!  You can spare a minute of your time, right?  Go here:  Let's Say Thanks!

Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA

Have you ever wondered what will happen to your beloved pet when the rapture occurs?  Who will feed Fluffy or give Fido his doggy painkillers for his arthritic knees when you're gone to sit beside Jesus, huh?

Luckily for you, some atheists have a heart!  And they've started a much needed service.   They know they will be left behind when the rapture happens, just like your pets!  So they are offering to take care of the pets you've suddenly abandoned to travel on up to heaven.  Eternal Earth-bound Pets, USA offers a 10-year, renewable contract for dogs, cats & other small animals (a few states also have coverage for horses, goats & the like).  As the company grows, more animals may be included.  First pet is $110, $15 for each additional pet in the same household.  Totally legit!!  Go see them and get your rock-bottom start up prices now!

Make sure to check out the FAQs and the contract/payment pages too.  Paypal is available!

Magic Wand Remote Control

This looks like such *fun*!!  Looks like it was stolen from 'Harry Potter'  himself, but it's actually a spiffy remote control!  One that will let you (with the appropriate swish or wiggle) change channels, adjust the volume, etc. on TVs, cable boxes, stereos - up to 13 items at a time!  Can you imagine the awe if you used this around a small child who still believes in wizards?  Not to mention the gazzillions of Potter fans out there that just must have anything & everything wizardy. We found The Magic Wand Remote at Firebox.com (where it is currently sold-out) but assume it must be out there elsewhere on the net as well.

The price tag of nearly $70 USD is the only reason we don't have one yet... but we would, if you people would click a few ads on this page! ::hint::  We can think of at least three people who would enjoy this, even with no kids to amaze.  The Wand is on our wish list!! 

Justin (shitmydadsays) on Twitter

We took a month off for Christmas, you got a problem with that?  Take it up with Santa!  So we are back and have discovered Twitter!  Surely you've heard about this new phenomenon?  People broadcast to the whole world their current thoughts.... in 140 characters or less!  Ok, it's not all that new but if you've never read Justin's tweets, you are missing out.

Justin(shitmydadsays) tweets are *hysterical*.  He simply adds tweets as his father goes about his day, spinning wisdom and shouting odd obscenities about Justin, the world and stupid people in general.  His father is old school cool, peeps, and you will adore what the man has to say, I promise.  You don't even have to login to Twitter to read them, so bookmark this site even if you are a twit prone to tweeting. There are, of course, lots of other people on Twitter, famous ones even... but so far, we luv Justin's Dad best!

Barbie Diversification - Loanne Hizo Ostlie

Remember Barbie, the blond, blue-eyed, impossibly proportioned fashion icon?  Yeah, she's still out there and going strong.  We loved her as kids but often wondered why there wasn't more of a selection of barbies.  I mean, you grow up meeting lots of different people, with different skin tones, different languages, different hair, different clothes.

Loanee Hizo Ostile obviously had these same thoughts, at some point.  She is an incredibly talented artist and has a website here.  Taking generic barbies, she adds new hair, repaints the faces and/or bodies and dresses her creations in stunning clothing or costumes.  She then sells her creations on ebay and through other sources.

When you go to her website, click on the gallery link at the top of the page to view many of her past creations, including Harry Potter versions, the UPS guy, your local policeman, little babies and even families!  We couldn't find one that wasn't amazing!  They aren't cheap but hey are one-of-a-kind and would make a really special gift!  Go check them out!

Uncooked Greeting Cards

We don't really care for 'normal' type greeting cards (and we like e-cards even less!).  That's why we bring you the glorious site of Uncooked Greeting Cards.  Need a special card for that new guy that has your heart all a'flutter?  Uncooked has it.... and it won't be a frilly, sloppy, gushy sorta card either.  Have an Auntie that annoys the snot out of you - but you positively *must* send a holiday greeting or else your mother will harp on your ass for the next thousand years?  Uncooked has a great selection that will be quite suitable!  Take a gander and you will see!

Stop Making that Duckface!!

Taken from Stop Making that Duckface!:  you know that face you make when you're about to take that perfect shot of yourself for myspace?  you know, the one where you push your mouth out in that weird combination of a pout and a kissy face make it look like you've got big pouty lips and model-quality cheekbones?  It's called "duckface".  

Who started this trend anyway?  Obviously, no one attractive. They should be shot. You should not make this face when you take pictures.  It's just not flattering to anyone.  It looks pretty damned stupid.  We know you would never do this.  Never.  Well, except maybe that once, when you were making fun of people who do this!  That's right, it was just to show how stupid it was!


Yeah.  But we all do know people who do this.  This site is dedicated to them.  Visit it.  Share it.  Perhaps sometime in the distant future, it will be the only record of these awful faces.  Except for, you know, the bizzillion pictures of them all on myspace.  And facebook.  And forums and computers and stuff.

Plush Sushi at Think Geek

Because sushi is just so associated with a diverse Thanksgiving, here ya go.  Think Geek is offering these cute sushi plushies for $9.99 each.  Tuna, Salmon Roe, Shrimp, Wasabi & Ginger.  I don't know if children will be so thrilled with these things but lots of corporate types will love them, I just know it. 


Think Geek offers a whole assortment of techo, geeky, wonderous stuff.  Gadgets, collectibles, toys for your cube - you can find it here.  They also have infectiously creepy microbe plushies too.  I couldn't find a 'swine flu' one, but I'm sure they're in production somewhere!

Sticker Frames from Land of Nod

Land of Nod is currently offering these awesome sticker frames for $24.95.  It's a set of 8 and we think they're just nifty.  Frame juniors art (or your own) right on the wall without nail holes that annoy the landlord (or dad), they're reusable and they won't damage tile. 

Land of Nod also offers other stickers too, awsome guitars and trees and brightly colored animals and flowers, along with lots of other nice stuffs like furniture and bedding for the younger crowd.  And they give you knock-knock joke on every product page too, which is added fun!  But we love these fabulous sticker frames!  And Christmas is coming.... *hint*

Etiquette Hell

Do you remember your Mother badgering you to 'mind your manners'!?  Etiquette Hell is a gloriously snooty site that catalogs all the disgusting results of most of those lessons going unheeded (poor Mom).  Special categories abound at Etiquette Hell (because we're all just heathens!) and you can expect hours and hours of entertainment or horror - depending on which side of the fence you are on.  Bridezillas and their Mothers are here, as well as all the embarrassing branches of any family you could think of.  Rude coworkers, merchants from retail hell, funeral faux-pas, dating disasters and road rage are all included at EH.


Do share Etiquette Hell with your Mama and let her bask in her righteousness!  It'll keep her busy, while you are off doing God knows what with God knows whom, just like she always feared!

Beware should you write the mistress of this site.  She will expect proper grammar!

FML: The Guts to Spill the Beans

“Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.” - Drew Carey


Fmylife.com is a weird and wonderful addition to the web.  They say so themselves.  Fortunately for them, this happens to be true.  Using stories (submitted by readers - thats YOU) that all begin with 'Today' and end with 'FML'.  If you don't know what FML stands for already, then this site is not for you.  There are no glittery graphics, no sparkly do-dads for your entertainment... sorry.  They don't even have a shiny logo. If you can read and have just a tiny smidget of wit though, you will love this site, I promise.

FML offers tops & flops lists too, especially entertaining reading if you haven't been there before and strangely comforting for those of us looking to share the various stories.  You also get the thrill of deciding if the story teller deserved his fate and confirm that yes, his life is total shit.

If nothing else, you should visit FML cause almost everyone else already has.  A bit out of the loop, are you?

It Made My Day

It Made My Day is yet another blog that gives readers an opportunity to share - in this case, those little moments in life that you think to yourself:  It Made My Day! and you just have to share.  You know - that insane SUV that kept cutting you off as you drove along the highway and while you resisted the urge to slam your crappy old Nova into their crash-resistant bumpers, you were *thrilled* to see them get pulled over by the State Police?  Yeah, thats a 'It made my day' moment.

Of course, cute kids saying even cuter things make the page often as well.  Go look!  Right now!!  Make my day!! (HA!  I crack myself up!)

Crazy Things Parents Say

Crazy Things Parents Say is another blog dedicated to sharing with the world.  In this case, you share those Crazy Things Parents Say!  We all have those moments - when your Ma is carrying on and your Dad is threatening military school and you think OH!  I must post this at that Crazy things parents say blog, because no one would ever believe MY parents are in any way amusing, or this freakin' crazy....  Or something like that.

When you get older and become parents yourself - well, this may not seem like such an amusing blog anymore, heh.  For now, this site is damned amusing!  I bet my mother would enjoy it.  Or not.

Awkward Family Photos

Awkward Family Photos is a website showing some of the most bizarre family photographs you will ever see!  Its a young site but growing by pages everyday.  Pictures are submitted from from all over the world.  AFP is always good for a giggle or two and has a soothing way of making your family seem not quite so crazy.   Unless, of course, you find photos or worse, a picture of yourself!  Gee... thanks Grampa!
