Needed amusement

Penn State lost. To IOWA. fuck – there goes the National Championship. I always thought there was no redeeming value to Iowa, and evidently I was right.

But, the pain was assuaged by two things. One, found on Gizmodo:

one velociraptor per child logo

And the other, which brings out my Star Wars geek — I’ve officially asked for this for my birthday, now that they are back on sale:

Thought for the Day

From comedian Mitch Hedberg:

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an “Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order” sign, just “Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.”

Oh Boy!

The Waiting THIS is why my wife is such a good photographer. I mean, who would have thought to get a shot like this at a wedding. But I think it’s hysterical. If you like it, be sure to check out her other shots from the wedding, too.

Due to some family qualms about these images, they have been taken down. Some people just can’t take a joke.

Update 6/26: here are the pictures again. Long story.

To temper my earlier post, here’s something more amusing.

I originally saw this on Bill Adams’ Flickr page and was literally laughing my butt off. I asked, and Bill let me post it here, as well. Hope you enjoy it, too.

And when you’re done that, you should go check out The Vader Project. It’s like all of those artsy cows in the street projects that cities are doing, only with Darth Vader masks as the canvas. Pretty cool, actually.

leap of faith

This is Jazz, our new super-kitten. She’s always pulling new stunts, like flying out the door when we try to let the dogs in, or climbing up into the drop ceiling or tormenting our older cat, Miko. Her latest penchant seems to involve torturing the fish. After trying from the top for a week or so, it seems that Jazz has found a new way to look at the fish – either that, or she really wants some sushi. Or as my wife put it on her Flickr account:

“After several months of trying to figure out why that bala shark had been (apparently) trying to commit suicide, I think I may have figured it out.”

She’s an odd one, that Jazz.

Separated at Birth?

I was watching the NBC 10′s Sunday night sports final show, which features Vai Sikahema, John Clarke and Jade. As usual, 610 WIP AM’s Howard Eskin came in to offer his insights, with which I often disagree. He wasn’t too bad last night, but I did notice something that I hadn’t seen before. Continue reading

Introducing the Gummis

Just trying to flex my muscles on something remotely art-like. I got this idea and wanted to see if I could pull it off. I wanted to play with the light and refraction coming through the gummi bears. This is the result (see the whole set).

Very few gummis were hurt during the making of this picture.

Darth Gnarls

This is hysterical – Gnarls Barkley and his entourage put on a STAR WARS show at the MTV Movie Awards.
