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!

Passive-Aggressive Notes

This site is one of our favorites!  It's been around for awhile now but if you have not visited, you are in for a treat.  You know all those little posted signs around the office?  Like "Your Mom doesn't work here, please wash your own dishes!" and the many variations of 'please be neat & wipe the seat' or 'thanks for stealing my kids science project in the fridge!'  Passive-Aggressive Notes has them all!  And so very many you have never seen before, as well! 

Be sure to check out the 'Greatest Hits' section (on the right) if you've not been there before.  Some of these you may steal for yourself, LOL

And yeah, you're welcome!

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!! 

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!

11 Points

We read a lot of blogs, it's just something that goes with the internet.  Some are great, some are boring as hell, most fall somewhere in between.  11 Points is somewhere in the middle.  Because top 10 lists are for cowards, 11 Points is a series of well, 11 points on various, random subjects.

When he feels like it, the author randomly chooses a subject like the 11 most bad ass jews in history (for Hanukkah!), the 11 most drunken presidents, 11 firsts in internet history, 11 obscure taco bell facts - well, you get the idea.

11 Points is often witty and topical.  We enjoy it.  So go see.

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! 

Visit hunch and let us know what you think using the contact email address shown on the right of this page.  Really, we wanna know how it did for you.  Just ask hunch! 

 

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?

Pizza is My Girlfriend - Who wouldn't date pizza?

Pizza is My Girlfriend is a marvelous blog that doesn't waste your time - no stories, no babble, no introductory paragraphs, no sir, not here.  This blog simply posts one picture of pizza in all it's many yummy forms, each and every day. Yep, thats it.

Warning:  Viewing this site on an empty stomach is almost guaranteed to make you ravenous!  It's much more fun to view Pizza is My Girlfriend while you are eating.... pizza would be a good choice, obviously!  Even Obama loves pizza!

Internet Archive Wayback Machine

The Internet Archive was founded back in 1996 to build an internet 'library' of digital media. There are over 150 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago.  What this means is, you go on over to their site Internet Archive: Wayback Machine, you type in a net address (such as http://www.blogger.com), hit the 'take me back' button and you get a list of all the previous pages stored at the internet archive, by date, by month, by year! 

You can see what pages looked like when the first started and the progessive changes, year to year, for any site (exclusions apply; see the faqs for details). One of the faqs suggest checking out 1999 pages and all the Y2K hype that was out there then.  It's really rather amazing! 

Web crawlers make this page possible.  Isn't technology grand?

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!
