Doublewires.

August 31st 2007 · Posted in Most Fun Game of the Day · Comments(5)

This game is fantastic! I Stumbled Upon this one a long time ago and instantly became obsessed! The concept is very simple: You are a stick figure who is capable of shooting two long strands from both arms. You goal is to swing from obstacle to obstacle in an effort to make it as far as possible without falling. Sounds easy enough, but when the terrain becomes scarce, you might not make it to far! Thanks to Onemorelevel.com for a creative and orginal idea!

Here’s my final score:

I’m the Boss!

August 31st 2007 · Posted in Funniest Joke of the Day · Comments(2)

The boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn’t getting any respect.

The next day, he brought a small sign that read: “I’m the Boss!”

He then taped it to his office door.

Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said:

“Your wife called, she wants her sign back!”

This one is funny but doesn’t really apply to me. My boss’s wife is also my boss. They co-founded the company together. I’d be willing to bet that she’s still the boss at home though. Thanks to The JOKES Blog for another hilarious one!

This one is super funny. I love the awkwardness sections, we’ve all definitely felt that before! And I also love how there is a null set, implying no two people could ever be that good of a match for one another. Sorry to anyone who just realized that they are in the “Zone of Pain” with their current significant other. Thanks to WhitePen.org for today’s funny picture!

The Magnanimousest Blog

August 31st 2007 · Posted in Best Blog of the Day · Comments(3)

Can something be TOO sweet? Is 500 times sweeter than sugar “too sweet”? Well, that’s how sweet Maggie describes her blog Ramblings of Maggie @ CoffeeShopMafia.

Also always I start at Maggie’s about page, which is best described in Maggie’s own words:

In love, two kids, Single mom, work full time, own my own home, drive a mini van, love computers, spend to much time in front of said computers, good sense of humor, sometimes only I get my humor, Executive Assistant, Grew up in town next to where I live now, Once was a sassy temp, Not a sassy temp anymore. I like to camp with my honey, drink coffee with him, surf and eat chinese food. We like to cook and I don’t like to clean. I have a quick Portuguese temper but it passes quickly. Some have said i’m “crazy” but I think I’m just a normal stressed out women.

Sounds pretty sweet to me, except for the whole Portuguese temper…that’s more spicy than sweet I would think. I don’t know if I’d necessarily describe this blog as Magnanimous…but that’s only because I try not to use words that I don’t entirely know what they mean. Anyway, I’m just kidding, any mom who has two kids and finds the time to share stories and pictures about them is certainly magnanimous. Also, magnanimous sounds a lot like “Maggie” which may be what she was going for in the first place.

…Antbuster! is a fun game but is very similar in formula to former winner Onslaught 2 and nominee Bloons Tower Defense.

I would like to see more innovation in this one although I’m not sure which game came first. The idea of this one is to protect your cake slices from the endless ant hordes by placing cannons which fire automatically and can be upgraded. This one is a novel idea but for more in depth play check out Onslaught 2. Thanks to Vivalagames.com for today’s game.

When I Was Your Age…

August 30th 2007 · Posted in Funniest Joke of the Day · No Comments

A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in 9 holes before he had to head home.

Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone.

Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him.

To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn’t hit the ball far but plodded along consistently and didn’t waste much time.

They reached the ninth fairway, and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball, directly between his ball and the green.

After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man finally said, “You know, when I was your age I’d hit the ball right over that tree.”

With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard and hit the ball right smack into the top of the tree trunk, where it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had originally been.

The old man offered one more comment, “Of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only 3 feet tall.”

——–

Wow, if I was an old man, I don’t think I’d have the courage to play a trick like that on a strong young man who is wielding a golf club. Let’s hope the rest of that joke reads “And a jolly good laugh was had by all!” and not “Tragedy strikes a local golf course…more at 11.” Thanks to The JOKES Blog for another funny joke!

Man this is too real…I work with children all day long and when mom’s bring in the little little ones I seriously feel like this. Such a little actor in the making! I’m sure we all have our “faking it for attention” moments. Thanks to Den Ivanov Blog.

The Randomest Ramblings Blog

August 30th 2007 · Posted in Best Blog of the Day · Comments(3)

Sweet Catastrophe…21 and Invincible! <-- I love the name and the tagline of this blog. I guess I can't really put it into words. It just seems like the blog of someone with a good sense of humor with a unique perspective on life (and anyone who is unique is a good writer, at least for the fact that they're not just regurgitating the same old stuff we've all read a million times before). After inspecting this blog a little further, I can see that I am right.

The place I start on most blogs (and something that is missing from my own, though I intend to add it sometime) is the About Page. On Jade’s about page, I learned a lot very quickly, which puts everything else into perspective. She’s a 21 year old General Studies major at a school in Georgia. She’s got a cat, a boyfriend, a roommate…she’s goofy, souther, but not girly.

I have to mention the top post on her blog for my own benefit, maybe no one else will care, but it is entitled “U + Me = Calculus”. It reminds me (I assume intentionally on Jade’s part) of a 2000 made-for-MTV movie about the formation of a boy band (they were still hot back then). Anyway, the whole reason I bring it up is because it was the first movie my wife and I ever saw together (though at the time, we weren’t even boyfriend and girlfriend yet).

Anyway, Jade did an excellent job putting a big smile on my face with that post, I’m sure (at least) one of her funny posts will put a big smile on your face too!

Micro Olympics

August 29th 2007 · Posted in Most Fun Game of the Day · Comment(1)

Micro Olympics is a seriously good time! Combines the trajectory fun of Kitten Cannon with the competition of Platform racing!

This was seriously one of my favorite games since I started doing this site! The basic idea is that you launch your plane from a cannon and see if you can beat your opponents distance! You get three tries to beat your opponents high score and can buy all kinds of fun powerups (my favorite being ‘freaky’, you’ll see!) This game is tons of fun!

My best distance was 650m (I could have played longer but Angelica was harassing me…)

A Call to the FBI

August 29th 2007 · Posted in Funniest Joke of the Day · Comment(1)

The phone rings at FBI headquarters.

“Hello?”

“Hello, is this FBI?”

“Yes, What do you want?”

“I’m calling to report my neighbor Tom. He is hiding marijuana in his firewood.”

“This will be noted.”

Next day, the FBI comes over to Tom’s house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept, break every piece of wood, find no marijuana, swear at Tom and leave.

The phone rings at Tom’s house.

“Hey, Tom! Did the FBI come?”

“Yeah!”

“Did they chop your firewood?”

“Yeah they did.”

“Okay, now it’s your turn to call. I need my garden plowed.”

Dick in a Box!

DISCLAIMER: Contains strong sexual references & adult language.

I remember “back in the day” when SNL was hysterical everytime you turned it on. Nowadays it’s like 15 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of sketch with a crazy elaborate set. Anyhoo…this is a crazy great clip that lives up to those standards that I know they are capable of dishing out! Thanks to Here Comes a Storm for a hilarious great time!

The Realest Blog

August 29th 2007 · Posted in Best Blog of the Day · Comments(2)

Before you can successfully start reading this blog, you first gotta check out the cast: Peg’s Players over at Peggy as she is. You see, Peggy doesn’t like to use real names for her family members and close ones, so she has cute aliases (Secret Admirer, Mommy Dearest, etc.) for them all. Peggy is a corporate suit turned self-employee who refuses to ever return to that cold corporate world.

This is a great blog with a lot of cute stories and good insight, definitely worth checking out. But at the time of this writing, Peggy is in a bit of a time of need and maybe could use some consoling.

You see her “Secret Admirer” (aka husband of 6+ years) was recently in a motorcycle accident. He dislocated his hip in such a severe “unusual” way that he had to be airlifted to a special hospital. Peggy posts an update where she lets us know that he is doing well (given the circumstances) and will be in surgery TODAY to remove bone chips around the top of his femur, which is fractured.

So, if you have a minute to stop by Peggy’s Blog today, please, please, PLEASE do!

Grav Ball!

August 28th 2007 · Posted in Most Fun Game of the Day · Comment(1)

You might think that Grav Ball is the sequel to yesterday’s game, Curve Ball, however you would be sadly mistaken. You people just love your ball games!


This one pits you against gravity as you attempt to put a soccer ball into the white frame goal. Sounds easy right? WRONG! You have to avoid both hitting the red donut thingys and losing your ball off-screen. Both of which will make your ball explode! I almost through my computer out the window before making it to the end of this one. It really tests your patience…which apparently I have little left.

Now let’s see your high scores!

Anger Management

August 28th 2007 · Posted in Funniest Joke of the Day · Comment(1)

When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don’t take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don’t know.I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I’d forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it.

A man answered, saying “Hello.”I politely said, “This is Chris. Could I please speak with Robyn Carter?”Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear “Get the right f***ing number!” and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so rude .

When I tracked down Robyn’s correct number to call her, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.After hanging up with her, I decided to call the ‘wrong’ number again.When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled “You’re an asshole!” and hung up.

I wrote his number down with the word ‘asshole’ next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I’d call him up and yell, “You’re an asshole!” It always cheered me up.

Hilarious Monopoly Cards

I was a big fan of Monopoly growing up, but I don’t seem to remember any of these cards being part of my game. Perhaps my memory is a little fuzzy, or maybe I just didn’t have a good sense of humor back then. Thanks to DribbleGlass.com!

This is great! Angelica (my fiancee) has been hounding me for months now that we need to get dance lessons…well this solves everything! I figure if I can master these moves, she’ll be so impressed I won’t have to take any real dance lessons! What a great idea. Thanks to Rainingvideos.com for this moment of zen.

The Kindest Blog

August 28th 2007 · Posted in Best Blog of the Day · Comment(1)

randomactsofkindness.JPG
I had visited this blog quite a few times a few weeks ago and was really impressed with its concept and the work so far by the author. Now, I visit it once more to work on this review and I see not only more of the good stuff from before, but now the site also LOOKS incredible! It’s Random Acts of Kindness.

The idea is simple. One guy doing his part to make the world a better place via random acts of kindness. He hopes that his kind doings will become popular and inspire others to follow in his footsteps. In fact every Friday, he makes a post asking what kind acts his readers have done.

He’s already up to 26 kind acts (most recently praying for firefighters). I bet many of us would be hard pressed to come up with 26 kind acts we’ve done for others. He has also helped in the garage, showed his mother some appreciation, and encouraged a friend.

So what kind acts have you done lately???
