Driving to and from work last week.

One of these things is not like the other

Of course, they probably have some kind of Mother's Day special.

Awwww - just in time for Valentine's Day

Buy one of these glowing shirts for yourself, and gift one to your significant other (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, fembot 2000...). During your normal activities two and a half pixelated hearts will light up on your shirt. Hey... you're depressed and in need of a recharge. But get within hugging distance of your significant other wearing the matching shirt and suddenly the hearts on both of your shirts start to light up until you're fully powered up. Go too far astray from the source of your affections and you'll drop back down to two and a half hearts again. Got it?

Food Fight - Brilliant

Food Fight is an abridged history of war, from World War II to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict. Watch as traditional comestibles slug it out for world domination in this chronologically re-enacted smorgasbord of aggression.

Real Life Wall Walker

Sticky man wall crawler toys have been around for years, but nobody had ever bothered to build one the size of a human being. They’ve all been cheap and tiny little pieces of junk, never having climbed down anything much taller than the average household wall.
All of that changed recently when the Japanese TV show Hey! Spring of Trivia decided to conduct a grand experiment. The procedure was as follows:
Build a giant sticky man
Find a skyscraper
Wait for a day without much wind
Drop the giant sticky man on the side of the building and see how far it can climb down

Want It!

Everyone knows you shouldn’t play with your food. But hey - sometimes you have to defend your dinner! Now there’s a new weapon in your homeland security arsenal - load up a particularly mushy pea or corn niblet, aim, pull back the spring-loaded handle,and watch your food take flight. ZING!

Bob's House

A sneak peek at a Super Bowl commercial.

It's time for an Ole joke.

Ole had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's lawyer was questioning Ole.
'Didn't you say, sir, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?' asked the lawyer.
Ole responded, 'Vell, I'll tell you vat happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into the...'

'I didn't ask for any details', the lawyer interrupted. 'Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?'

Ole said, 'Vell, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road....'

The lawyer interrupted again and said, 'Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Minnesota Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.'

By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Ole's answer and said to the lawyer, 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie'.

Ole thanked the Judge and proceeded. 'Vell as I vas saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into da trailer and vas driving her down da highvay ven dis huge semi-truck and trailer ran da stop sign and smacked my truck right in da side. I vas thrown into one ditch and Bessie vas thrown into da other. I vas hurting, real bad, and didn't vant to move. However, I could hear Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after da accident da Minnesota Highway Patrolman came to da scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot her right 'twe en da eyes. Then the Patrolman came across da road, gun still in hand, looked at me and said, 'How are you feeling? Now vat the hell vould YOU say?'

Books that make you dumb

"Ever read a book (required or otherwise) and upon finishing it thought to yourself, "Wow. That was terrible. I totally feel dumber after reading that."? I know I have. Well, like any good scientist, I decided to see how well my personal experience matches reality. How might one do this?

Well, here's one idea."

A Joke

Three quarterbacks, Manning, Romo and Tom Brady, go to heaven to visit God and
watch the Celtics play a game. God decides who will sit next to him by asking
the boys a question...

God asks Peyton Manning first "What do you believe?" Peyton thinks long and
hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying
true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always
tried to do right by my fans." God cannot help but see the essential goodness
of Manning, and offers him a seat to his left.

Then God turns to Tony Romo and says, "What do you believe?" Tony says,
"I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life.
I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose; I've always tried to be a true
sportsman, both on and off the playing fields." God is greatly moved by Tony's
sincere eloquence, and he offers him a seat to his right.

Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"
Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

Deer on my porch

So the other morning I found deer tracks on my porch . . .


But look where the deer was coming from:

Apparently, the deer are sitting in my chairs watching the world go by.

That,and I really need to clean and paint my porch.
