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!

E-Mails from an Asshole

Don'tEvenReply.com

e-mails from an asshole

Have you ever placed an ad on Craigslist or Freecycle and a got an odd reply?  Or a seemingly normal inquiry that then turned into an odd, stalker type situation? 

E-Mails from an Asshole is a site dedicated to freaking people out.  The guy takes normal looking ads and replies to them in, well - an asshole kinda way.  Sort of hard to explain, but terribly funny to read!  Some people will exchange emails with this guy for a quite awhile, before they lose their cool, some think they must be misunderstanding him, some just freak right out, LOL.  It's not polite, it's not nice but it is damned funny. 

You *will* enjoy reading these exchanges.... and I bet you will be much more careful, next time you post or reply to an ad!  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!

Very Demotivational Posters

You know those motivational posters hanging around offices everywhere, trying to make you feel like everyone but you looks at the sunny side of life?  The ones that try to 'motivate' you into being a team-player with the rest of the douches you work with? We hate them!

That's why we luv this site:  VeryDemotivational.com offers the same sort of posters, but oh so much more true to life.  There is even one with a *naked* Dr. Gregory House!  Dude!  Where does he keep his Vicodins?  Sorry - you'll have to discover where it is on your own!

VeryDemotivational tells it like it really is!  Great for killing time at work (when the boss isn't looking!) or for snagging for random internet board posts.  You can even make your own poster, using their builder tool.  Go ahead, give it try!

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!

Hunch!

Got a question?  Need to make a decision?  Check out the hunch website.  Using a mysterious algorithm, hunch asks a series of questions to help you decide.  You can choose from from many topics or categories to start your search for wisdom or you can plug any word into the search bar to help you navigate towards enlightenment.  Hunch does not play favorites, so be sure you want to know before you ask - it remembers your questions and answers from the past, when you visit, to steer you to decisions based on your past inquiries.  Kinda creepy!

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!

Eternal Moonwalk

Do you still miss Michael Jackson and his moonwalking ways?  We do.  Eternal Moonwalk is a site that lets us remember the good.  Beginning with MJ himself, Eternal Moonwalk loops together clips from all over the world of everyone doing - ready for it? - MJ's Moonwalk!

That's it. It is surprisingly fun to watch everyone from little kids to grandmas trying to master the moonwalk, it sucks you right in an you'll look up an hour later to find you've totally missed Ugly Betty or whatever show you were just killing time waiting for!  Not that we'd watch Ugly Betty... not us.

Eternal Moonwalk is fun and mindless, it reminds us that no matter what MJ was accused of in his lifetime, he was still The King of Pop and the only one who could really moonwalk looking natural, and so we love it and we're thrilled someone came up with this great idea!  Got a problem with that, Betty?

Not Always Right - Funny & Stupid Customer Quotes

Not Always Right is a collection of amusing, confusing and sometimes downright obnoxious experiences from those who serve in retail, service or other public-interaction positions.  Although the quote 'the customer is always right' is often slung about by irate purchasers, it is in fact, not correct.  The customer is often disgustingly, enormously wrong.  Not Always Right gives hundreds of glaring examples of what a cashier at Wally-World gets served up everyday.  Geeks, be sure to check the tech support stories for glorious tales of dumb-ass user errors!

 

Not Always Right is great revenge for all you retail slaves!  The rest of you will find it pretty snicker-worthy too. 

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.

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?

Ugliest Tattoos: A Gallery of Regrets was the site we went to when our oldest spawn started getting ink, hoping it would discourage her.  It did not help.  But it did make us realize the small tats she has should not concern us, considering what others out there do to themselves.  Here is a little unsolicited advice: Pretty, small and easily hidden are rules one should stick to when getting ink, at least until you are over 25.  Unless you work for the circus.  Trust us.

These days we go to Ugliest Tattoos just to amuse ourselves and feel superior. We've seen lots and lots of *really beautiful* tattoos.  We know there are artists out there and canvasses that are stunning.  This site is not that.  Really, what the hell are these people thinking?  My God, we're going to be needing medication just to keep us from freaking the hell out in the nursing home with these walking, distorted billboards of distaste. We must ask why?  Why!? 

Visit Ugliest Tattoos: A Gallery of Regrets and feel superior.  We do!

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.

My First Dictionary

My First Dictionary is a blog dedicated to educating the millions of people on this planet that are well, not educated.  Using easy-to-understand pictures, words are brought to life and suddenly clear meaning.  English class was never like this!

 

Ross Horsely is the timid librarian by day, slasher-flick fan by night that writes My First Dictionary.  Do drop by and learn something, why don't you?

People of Walmart!

The 'People of Walmart' site is not nice.  It's not supposed to be.  They make fun of others and we all know our mother would not approve.  But.... it is funny!  It'll make you feel less self-conscious the next time you run in 'just for milk' even though your hair is ratty and the sweats you're wearing haven't been washed this week....


'People of Walmart' is a 'make fun of all the strange people who shop at Walmart' kinda site.  It will not help us find world peace or a solution to global warming.  But it is a good way to kill time while you're waiting on the boss to come back from lunch or while half-listening in on that next conference call.  People really do dress funny shopping at Walmart, don't they?  Let us know if you spot a relative in there.  New pics are posted daily!
