Just Silly

Humor: Equine social distancing

All you need is a fly mask and a grazing muzzle and you’re golden! Ready for our outing to Cosco! That’s Isis in her grazing muzzle and fly mask. She had to wear a grazing muzzle any time she was in a field with any amount of grass. She had equine metabolic syndrome. Think of it like a pre-diabetic condition in horses. She couldn’t have the sugar in the grass so she either...

Killer Karaoke?

It’s like the producers of American Idol and Fear Factor had a love child and produced Killer Karaoke. In this show, singers perform while being scared, shocked, and otherwise put in bodily harm. Yup, not kidding. When I first saw an article about this on Gawker, I thought it was a joke. Apparently, it isn’t. Ever see the episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor (played by Christopher Eccleston), Rose, and Adam go...

XKCD on gaming

XKCD is a web comic about geek, language, math, and love. And of course, the periodic jab at geek culture like role playing games, science fiction, etc. All fun and done in stick figures. Some times only gamers know exactly how to decipher a manuscript. Never go up against a GM… Some times there are reasons why you keep the gaming supplies separate from any other types of dice… Related Images:

Silly Christmas traditions

When I was still living at home, every Christmas, Mom would take us caroling to the neighbor’s houses. We had a pretty good knowledge of carols thanks to Tasha Tudor’s Carol book. We’d to the requisite songs and some lesser known ones. Having a good knowledge of carols is a fine thing, unless you are on a nine-hour drive from Knoxville to Pennsylvania. On one of those drives to my grandmother’s house, Mom...

Zombie Brownies

Confession time: I was a Brownie, the younger version of the Girl Scouts. Daughter of a Girl Scout Leader. We learned all of the camp songs when we were little, including the Brownie Smile Song. Ah yes, childhood memories. Except I was also an afficiando of B movies and writing scary stories (involving monsters in the dark and dynamite and cartoon characters — ah yes, elementary school fan fiction). Today, a friend of mine talked...

Lego stop-motion melee

Gizmodo featured this stop-motion animation of Legos gone wild. The video has it all: sex, violence, and AT-ATs. What’s not to like? When you consider how much animation went into this project, it’s really pretty slick. Ah from studio shelter on Vimeo. Related Images:

Symptoms of being a horse person

I found this online a while back. I originally got something like this when the “you know you are a horse person” emails went around. I can certainly relate to most of the things in the list. Variations on this theme are on quite a few web sites. You know you are a horse person when… …Your horse has had medical insurance when you did not. (That’s me all right.) You realize finding...
