Magic Genie

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

I found a fun little game on the internet the other day that is a fun waste of time. http://us.akinator.com/ asks series of questions to find out who you’re thinking about. Just pick someone famous, real or fictional, and in a few questions, it will give you a guess as to who it is. The database must be pretty intensive because it has picked out every character that I’ve tried on it so far.

Have fun

Meatloaf pie chart

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Get it! Meatloaf. Pie. Chart. Heh heh.

Anyway, below is a chart representing all of the things that Meatloaf would do for love.

mllove

In addition…

Subsets of what Meatloaf would do for love:
- Run right into hell
- And back
- Never lie to you (that’s a fact)
- Never forget the way you feel right now (no way)
- Be there ’til the final act
- Take a vow
- Seal a pact
- Hold you sacred
- Hold you tight
- Colorize your life
- Make it all a little less old
- Make you some magic
- Build an emerald city
- Give you something you can take home
- Cater to every fantasy you got
- Hose you down with holy water
- Take you places you’ve never known

Offer to do the above for love is valid as long as:
- The planets are turning
- The stars are burning
- Your dreams are coming true
- Wheels are turning
- Fires are burning
- Your prayers are coming true

Still won’t do:
- That

Amazing Pumpkins, Batman!

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I am constantly amazed and delighted by the continual variety and talent displayed this time of year by all of the pumpkin carving that occurs just in time for Halloween. I’ve always been curious what customs we would have developed if other fruits or vegetable had become more associated with Halloween. Would we be as amazed by the amazingly decorated kumquat, or carved slivers of vanilla beans? Enjoy the fully operational Death Pumpkin!

We’ve been baconized

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Bacon has been expanding its domain and influence to the far reaches of the world and the net. Its touch is felt across time and space and bits and bytes. From bacon bowls to bacon pizza, there are all sorts of bacon ideas and recipes out there.

It has now arrived here.

Bacon has splatted itself onto ovrnite.com.

When will it end?

Wwwwhhhhheeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnn?

One Tree Heart

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

In the category of absolutely ridiculous and moving fully into the redonculous. A recent episode of ‘One Tree Hill’ featured a dramatic hospital moment.

Now, I have never actually watched ‘One Tree Hill’ and never plan on watching it, but with material like this, I hope that Conan starts showing random clips when he comes back like he did with ‘Walker, Texas Ranger’.

Back to the clip.

Picture it. A man sits anxiously inside a hospital waiting room. He needs a new heart. He may only have days or hours left to live. Suddenly, someone bursts into the hospital carrying a Styrofoam box. His heart has arrived. But to everyone’s surprise. The man carrying the heart trips over the leash of a dog that is waiting at the hospital. The heart slides across the floor. The man awaiting the transplant is stunned. His eyes widen in horror as the dog gulps down the heart in one doggie bite.

Who writes this stuff, honestly.

Rubix-pent

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Okay, now this is absolutely going over into the ree-donculous. For those out there in the world where the Rubik’s cube is just too easy for their brains to get around. Someone has developed a puzzle cube where each face is a pentagon with a pentagram inside. There are a thousand moving parts and takes days just to create and assemble. Currently it appears to be a one-of-a-kind with the ebay auction taking place soon.

Hopefully, the buyer wants it for it’s beauty and not to open the gates of hell.

Super cool illusion

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

If I could go back in time this would seriously be one of the coolest things ever to invent. Especially if I invented it like 2000 years ago. I’d be like a wizard or something that could make objects appear and move as if my magic. I’d probably be quickly arrested and put to the fire and burned as a witch, but it would be so worth it.

Check out the illusion.

More Feuds

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Another Family Feud clip sent me right over the edge. Instead of the one weird and funny answer from the last post, you get five or six strange or just plain wrong answers.

Alligator, seriously. Really. Wow.

Family Feud leads to crying

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

No, I was not involved in a domestic dispute.

Family Feud is a classic game show going back over 30 years now. This morning I watched an old clip from the show that had me clutching my gut and wiping tears from my eyes. Or for you txt messagers, CMGAWTFME.

Richard Dawson is usually a consummate professional when it comes the the ‘Fast Money’ portion of the show. He could read those questions faster than most and would move on to the next question no matter what your answer for the previous one was. There was one woman whose answer was so funny that he couldn’t hold it together even for the second round of questions with the next person.

Stamp and McDowell

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

My wife recently noticed something that should be obvious to us all.

Malcolm McDowell and Terence Stamp are gradually becoming more and more alike. They are converging.

If you go back and look at McDowell in “A Clockwork Orange” or Terence Stamp in “Superman 2″ you wouldn’t think that they looked at all similar. But fast forward to today and they could have been separated at birth.

I think that eventually they will merge into the same person.
