The Ordinary-est of Adventures Blog

August 22nd 2007 · Posted in Best Blog of the Day · Comments(2)

tomasI’ve already reviewed this blog, but I am more than happy to do it again, happily seeing that it is still going strong just 1 week short of exactly 1 year later. It’s the Ordinary Adventures of Tomas!

You see, Tomas is an imaginary friend that is always getting himself into trouble, pondering the true meaning of life, and dealing with the stresses of every day life. Tomas is just like you and me, but he just happens to be invisible. This is an awesome blog with a unique concept, funny pictures, and a little bit of thought provoking!

Indestructo.

August 21st 2007 · Posted in Most Fun Game of the Day · Comments(2)

Do you like blowing things up? Then this game is for you! Indestructo pits you as an indestructible tank vs. helicopters. Your only weapon: naturally, you!

This game is a lot of fun! You basically wait for the helicopters to drop bombs on you, launching you into the air and land on the helicopters to make them explode. You need a set amount of experience (copters blown up) to advance to the next level. The more combos (where you hit more than one in a row without landing) the higher your score! Thanks to Funderoo.com for a great find!

Here’s my outcome, now let’s see yours!

Jury Duty

August 21st 2007 · Posted in Funniest Joke of the Day · Comment(1)

A man was chosen for jury duty who really wanted to be dismissed from serving. He tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. On the day of the trial, he decided to give it one more shot. As the trial was about to begin, he asked if he could approach the bench.

“Your Honor,” he said, “I must be excused from this trial because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and I said ‘He’s a crook! He’s guilty!’ So, your Honor, I cannot possibly stay on this jury!”

With a tired annoyance the judge replied, “Get back in the jury box, you fool. That man is the defendant’s lawyer.”

———-

I think the “I can tell he’s guilty” jury duty excuse is an old classic George Carlin joke. Nice to see a modern anti-lawyer spin on it. Thanks to Lawyer Laughter for another funny one!

Amazing Choreographed Samsung Stadium Dance

Holy crap, I wouldn’t even be able to coordinate a “wave” at a baseball game, let alone something of this magnitude!

Things I still can’t figure out about this video:

  • How they changed colors so frequently and consistently with each other.
  • How the hell they practiced this routine. I mean this is an incredible aerial feat, but I’m sure it doesn’t look half as good up close.
  • Who thought to themselves, “Yeah this idea will totally work,” tried it and it actually did.Thanks to MyspaceTV.com for this crazy piece of art.

    Galactic Gravity Golf

    August 20th 2007 · Posted in Most Fun Game of the Day · Comments(2)

    I really like the concept of Galactic Gravity Golf (click to play, opens new window) but like real golf, I’m terrible at it!

    The idea is just like real golf except you’re playing with zero gravity! Don’t hit the planets or your ball explodes. You basically have one shot to get it in the hole but each swing counts as a stroke like in real golf. Basically they expect you to stink! Thanks to Kongregate.com for another great game!

    The Best Writing Blog

    August 20th 2007 · Posted in Best Blog of the Day · Comments(4)

    mimiWhat can I say about this great blog, Mimi Writes? This was one of the first blogs I was exposed to and one of my first daily reads. Every time I find myself wandering in there, I spend way too much time browsing around! There are a lot of enjoyable posts, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the fabulous project Mimi spearheaded.

    Mimi is the creator of the Peace Globe Movement. What this was was a conglomeration of bloggers who all custom designed an image of a globe and all posted it on their blogs on the same day as a symbol of the need for peace. I don’t know if Mimi would call this her life’s work, but if I had done it, it would have been my life’s work for sure. I don’t know of the exact total of how many people have participated to date, but check out the official site here to be amazed!

    Castle Wars!

    August 17th 2007 · Posted in Most Fun Game of the Day · Comments(3)

    Castle Wars (click to play, opens new window) is a turn/card-based game in which the object is to build you castle to 100 before your enemy. Each card gives you bonuses in each of the areas of play: Castle, Crystals, Weapons & Bricks.

    Crystals help you summon special attacks, such as a dragon which does 32 damage, weapons are attack based and bricks help build up your defenses. Sounds easy enough right? I was cursing at both the screen (and Bobby via gmail chat) after I lost four straight rounds on easy vs. the computer. I’ve gotten better since and this game is way more than just chance. The best part is you can play via net against other players! Thanks to Kongregate.com for today’s game. Here’s what the initial game setup looks like:

    Can you beat Kevin’s score?

    I played the computer on experienced and here was my outcome:

    Think you can do better? Let’s see your scores! Remember, NO CHEATING!

    What the teacher says (and what he means)

    August 17th 2007 · Posted in Funniest Joke of the Day · Comments(3)

    1. Your son has a remarkable ability in gathering needed information from his classmates. (He was caught cheating on a test).

    2. Karen is an endless fund of energy and viability.(The hyperactive monster can’t stay seated for five minutes).

    3. Fantastic imagination! Unmatched in his capacity for blending fact with fiction.(He’s definitely one of the biggest liars I have ever met).

    4. Margie exhibits a casual, relaxed attitude to school, indicating that high expectations don’t intimidate her.(The lazy thing hasn’t done one assignment all term).

    5. Her athletic ability is marvelous. Superior hand-eye coordination.(The little creep stung me with a rubber band from 15 feet away).

    6. Nick thrives on interaction with his peers.(Your son needs to stop socializing and start working).

    7. Your daughter’s greatest asset is her demonstrative public discussions.(Classroom lawyer! Why is it that every time I explain an assignment she creates a class argument).

    8. John enjoys the thrill of engaging challenges with his peers.(He’s a bully).

    9. An adventurous nature lover who rarely misses opportunities to explore new territory.(Your daughter was caught skipping school at the fishing pond).

    10. I am amazed at her tenacity in retaining her youthful personality.(She’s so immature that we’ve run out of diapers).

    11. Unlike some students who hide their emotion, Charles is very expressive and open.(He must have written the Whiner’s Guide).

    12. I firmly believe that her intellectual and emotional progress would be enhanced through a year’s repetition of her learning environment.(Regretfully, we believe that she is not ready for high school and must repeat the 8th grade).

    13. Her exuberant verbosity is awesome! (A mouth that never stops yacking).

    OH MY GOD! I am a teacher and this joke has so much truth to it. I mean, some kids deserve you telling their parents all the sordid details of their daily school life…but others are good kids are heart and you gotta spin the negative into positive. I think a couple of these might be exact quotes from my parent/teacher conferences. Thanks to The JOKES Blog for today’s Funniest Jokeof the day.

    Today’s Best Blogof the Day is a recent favorite of mine, The Nature Fact File. It’s very interesting when a blog on a specific topic like this behaves like a regular old personal blog.

    What I’m talking about is this blog is a regular participant of the popular Wordless Wednesday and Thursday Thirteen memes…but they are always on topic, always exclusively about nature. Here are some of the better ones…
    Wordless Wednesdays: Fox, World’s Largest Thing
    Thursday Thirteens: Cat Facts, Insect Trivia, Indian Mangoes

    Kitten Cannon

    August 16th 2007 · Posted in Most Fun Game of the Day · Comment(1)

    Another cruel Most Fun Game makes it way into the winner circle! Kitten Cannon (click to play) is a simple, no-brainer. You aim the cannon, wait for the power gauge to be where you want it, hit the space-bar and watch ‘em fly!

    The concept is easy enough: Fire a kitten from a cannon, don’t get eaten by the plants, or stuck on the spikes, and use the trampolines and explosives to propel you as far along as you can. Sounds easy right? Don’t be so sure. This game if nothing to scoff at and will have you climbing the walls in no time! Sorry to all the cute little kittens out there, but this game is too much fun! Thanks to AddictingGames.com for this one!

    Can you beat Kevin’s score?

    I don’t think I did too shabby today, after a few rounds (ok, a lot more than a few…) I pulled out 1,418 feet.

    Think you can do better? Let’s see your scores! Remember, NO CHEATING!
