Gideon's Laptop

MTV news correspondent Gideon Yago has had his laptop stolen. He says that he had screenplays and all sorts of writings that were only backed up on that computer.

Dude, Gideon - it's called a CD burner, okay, man? They're not expensive. If you didn't have the mindset to stop and go, "hmm. I have important files on this computer. Hmm. Maybe I should back everything up in case something ever happens. Hmm," then you are an IDIOT. Thank you.

Hobo Clown Hair

Never let it be said that I don't have decent fashion sense. Especially after viewing the following image:



MY EYES! What the hell is THAT?! I can't tell if she/he really looks like that, or if it's all really bad makeup for some atrocious movie role. I'm not one to judge, but DAMN...that's just scary.

Amazon.com Reviews

This guy has written some of the most hilarious Amazon.com reviews EVER. They're funny, yet subtle enough that they haven't been removed by the censors or whatever:

Right here.

Just Married

JUST MARRIED!

Me? Yes, me! WOOOHOOOO! Since about 3:20 pm yesterday (March 13th), in fact. My high school counselor performed the small, intimate ceremony. Hizzah! I have to wait until Sunday to move up with my husband, though...husband...gosh, that sounds so weird. But in a *great* way!

I had a final today, and Thursday I have a doctor's appointment, so yes. But yaaaaay to me and my Nicholas! *dances*

Jazzin' For Blue Jean & The Man Who Fell to Earth

Easter Eggs (for those not in the know - hidden, unlisted bonus features on DVDs) are the devil, I swear. They evade me like Bigfoot - sometimes spotted briefly, only to disappear and never be found again.

Now, true, there are sites like Eeggs.com, which clearly point out to you every little hidden detail, but what's the fun in that?

Anyway, my point is, for over a year now, I've possessed the two-disc Best of Bowie DVD set. I knew about the hidden interview from the Ziggy days, and random other stuff as well. However, last night I made a really badass discovery on the disc.

I have to give this one away - it's just too awesome not to.

For Bowie fans "in the know," you'll know that the music video "Blue Jean" is, in fact, a shorter version of a twenty-minute film entitled Jazzin' for Blue Jean - you know, a big promotional video like they used to make "back in the day".

I had no idea, but that entire twenty-minute film is on the Best of Bowie DVD. I'm not joking.

Go to highlight "Blue Jean".
Click right.
Highlight and select the ) that appears.
The "Blue Jean" image on the right will change - select it.

TADA! Jazzin' for Blue Jean GREATNESS! It's so hilarious. Bowie plays both Screamin' Lord Byron and a dorky, bandaged-nosed character named Vic. I won't give it away, but seriously - it's on there, I never knew it because I don't CHEAT when it comes to Easter Eggs, and just...yes. Do check it out - it's so amusing and wonderful.

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm not one of those people who thinks Bowie can't act. I've only seen JFBJ, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Zoolander (such a stupid movie), and Labyrinth, but I mean...I think he's alright. "He's out of sight - he's alright." Ha! I made a funny. *chortles*

They actually have The Man Who... on DVD here at the college library, but I'd recommend the edited version, which I have on VHS. It's way less confusing. Also, to anyone who hasn't seen the film (or maybe did and was confused by it), read the book by Walter Tevis first - that way, the movie's way less confusing. I've seen the edited and non-edited versions of the film, and I prefer (HIGHLY prefer) the edited one - it flows better and the story is much clearer and more approachable. The book's great too, though.

Horkulated and Vampin' Vixens

You know, there are some things everyone should know, "just in case." Learning how to walk through a decontamination hut is one of those things. Brought to you by the wonderfully clever folks of BlackTable.com.

Hmm, whose wardrobe would be complete without one of these high-stylin' sleeping bag dresses? Seriously, don't leave home without one!

Planning on trainhopping soon? Better catch up on your Hobo lingo. A language unto itself, it is!

If you haven't yet checked out LazyLaces.com, do so! Not only are there loads of games, as I've previously pointed out, but a very quaint Flash category as well. I love that blog so much - a must-visit.

Oh, WOW. Wow, wow, WOW. I just found one of the coolest blogs EVER. I discovered this page of crazy animated gifs, which always amuse me to no end. Going to the home page made me stumble across such fine gems as Pictures of Walls, Categories of Ravers, and Romance Novel Spoofs. Hellooooo, Horkulated.com, and welcome to a coveted spot on my Blogroll!

I'll leave you with this. If you're bored, why not take part in ZeFrank's We're All So Pretty Contest. Photograph yourself imitating a celebrity or model in a magazine. Or be like me, laughing at everyone who's already participated. Har! Lovely, really.

Fred Durst

No, this isn't about the video.

In Fred Durst's blog on limpbizkit.com, he asked his readers, " if there was a rallying of the limp believers would you participate under any circumstances and by all means necessary?"

Now, I'm not a Limp Bizkit (or is it now limpbizkit? limp bizkit? Whatever, it's still spelled incorrectly) fan, but I had to respond with this:

"No. Way. That sounds way too creepy to me. Under any circumstances? ANYTHING?! It reminds me of a really terrifying mass suicide scenario or something. HELL no. No one could honestly answer your question, Fred, unless they knew what the hell you're talking about. People do have lives outside of your music, you know. If they don't, that's just sad."

Let's see how long it takes for him to delete it.

Tickle My Pickle

I'm bored at the good ol' junior college I'll be out of in a grand total of...*checks calendar*...about three weeks. Thus, I googled for funny/hilarious/amusing blogs and found the following. Enjoy, my pretties...*cackles*

boingboing.net has random musings about various news items. However, gems like phrases you can't put on an NFL jersey, a pistol-shaped barbecue pit, Haptic Arm Wrestling, and MSN's Seven Dirty Blogs are quite amusing. I wouldn't say the blog is flat-out, roll-on-the-floor hilarious, but it's definitely an amusing joyride through modern inventions, gadgets, and happenings.

Waiter Rant is quite amusing as well. It chronicles the day-to-day happenings of a waiter's life, well, in a restaurant, of course. You wouldn't imagine such an environment would be amusing as all hell, but the way this guy describes it - it is. Very much so. A true riot!

If parodies are more your thing (I know they're generally what I prefer - I'm just easily amused like that), why not check out The Daily Ripper? Comic mockeries up the wazoo, among other timeless pieces.

Finally, to wrap this post up - can we say, INSTANT CLASSIC?! After School Snack is instantly gratifying and scrumptious.

Reading the After School Snack blog, I was able to find a site chock-full of really, REALLY pathetic pro-abstinence quotes such as:

"Hold up a beautiful rose. Talk about the petals and how they add color and fragrance to the rose. Hand the rose to a student, telling that student to pull off a petal and pass it on to another student who also pulls off a petal. Continue passing the rose around until there are no more petals. At the end, hold up the rose. Ask: Of what value is the rose now? The rose represents someone who participates in casual sex."
--Choosing the Best PATH

Also at After School Snack, I found an Italien design firm which sells, among other items, cow udder baby bottles, a voodoo doll knife holder, and an atrocious Dachshund CD rack.

And, of course, there are (though a few months old now) memorable classics such as a list of things to do before the inauguration. Though that time has passed us by, the list is - quite frankly - still highly amusing.
