During the company meeting on October 1st, we were taught how to play Myachi (think hacky sack for the back of your hands) by two good natured people. Here is the video of their efforts: Related Images:

Foiled again! Pranks at work
I love where I work. Great people with a sense of humour and love for what they do. One of the guys at work was out on vacation at the same time I was. Some of my coworkers plotted to cover his desk with aluminum foil. These are programmers we’re talking about: detail oriented to an extreme. And boy does it show. (And of course, they took pictures and made a video.) Awesome....

From a friend of mine in Horsemasters. You’ll snicker if you’ve ever read through horse sale ads. BIG TROT: Can’t canter within a 2 mile stretch NICELY STARTED: Lunges, but we don’t have enough insurance to ride him yet TOP SHOW HORSE: Won a reserve championship 5 years ago at a show with unusually low entries due to a hurricane HOME BRED: Knows nothing despite being home-grown BOLD: Runaway GOOD MOVER: Runaway ATHLETIC:...

Pretty funny. I have friends who work at the W3C. They will get a kick out of this! The Finnish ISP Mikkelin Puhelin is blocking access to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) site, describing it as child porn. read more | digg story Related Images:

A friend of mine sent me this. (Sorry not posting much. On vacation this week.) One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, ‘Good...

You know, in tech writing you find some pretty silly examples of poorly translated warning labels and paragraphs. Here are some from general products. Humor at it’s very best. This article exposes the stupidity of the manufacturers. We know, they need to cover their own asses… but can they go to this extent?? read more | digg story Related Images:

A friend of mine sent me this in a forwarded email. It’s probably made the rounds before. A couple from Tennessee and a couple from the Northeast were seated side by side on an airplane. The girl from Tennessee, being naturally friendly and all, asked the couple,’So where ya’ll from?’ The Northeast girl replied,’From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence.’ The girl...

This is from an email joke passed along by a friend. FIVE BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK: NUMBER 5: They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen. NUMBER 4: ‘This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time-management course you sent me to. NUMBER 3: ‘Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-out. You probably got here just...

I tried to find the original article so I could link back. Unfortunately, searching the Washington Post web site doesn’t return any hits for the word “neologisms.” Going through Google turned up lots of hits of people posting the same or similar lists, but no one had a link back to the Washington Post contest. These are just too funny not to share. I particularly like this one: Cashtration (n.): The act of...

Bad B-movies are a hobby. Every now and then you find something unique that has the potential to be bad. Not in a “I can’t watch this” rolling-eyes way, but in a “this is so bad I can’t stop watching” way. It’s got kitch, it’s got style, it’s got over-acting and Really Bad Writing. A B-movie classic from 1989 called Vampire’s Kiss starring a very young Nicholas Cage. And boy is he over-the-top,...

A friend of mine sent me a link to a page of Cat Resolutions, including this one: I promise I will meditate more closely upon the causal relationship between going dumpster diving on Sunday afternoon and projectile vomiting Monday, and being brought to the Evil Place Where They Stick Things Up My Butt on Tuesday evening. I realize that if I hadn’t done the first, none of the other things would have happened....

New and improve weather forecasting! Read the amazing news at the Weather Underground: Cyclopsychic research breakthrough proves hurricanes/global warming connection Posted by: JeffMasters, 8:13 AM EDT on April 01, 2008 A stunning new breakthrough in hurricane research has conclusively settled the matter: global warming is making Atlantic hurricanes and tropical storms more frequent. The new research, accepted for publication later this millennium in The Journal of Irreproducible Results, offers incontrovertible proof that global...

I was looking for lyrics to a song I learned in my first chorus class* in elementary school and came across a hysterical little song sung to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree. Hee. I’m goign to have to learn this just to torment people with it. Tom the Toad (tune: O Christmas Tree) Oh, Tom the toad, Oh, Tom the toad, Why are you lying on the road? Oh, Tom the toad,...

Interesting evening last night. Tried to go to belly dance — first time driving by myself. I loaded the GPS with the address, and off I went… Except some how I added a way point on I-40… and the silly thing kept telling me to loop around I-40. I would have been 20 minutes late to class, so I skipped it. Pissed me off. And then I thought it was terribly funny. Related...
