Spam Headline Fail
Ever since I discovered Failblog a few weeks ago, I've been a HUGE fan. And, I always wished I had something to submit.
Well, I finally got just that something in my inbox this morning! While I don't claim this to be the best one ever, it did make me laugh out loud, something that most of the good fails manage to always do.
So, I've submitted it, and who knows. We'll see if they post it or not. I hope they do! And remember, comrades, you saw it here, first!

I haven't laughed so hard in years...
Perhaps I'm the last person to know, but I never knew about FailBlog until just today. And it's hilarious. I spent hours laughing over all these pictures and videos.

Join the Mile High Club - CVS is here to help!
I was in CVS quite some time ago, carelessly browsing the cough and colds section, or some such, when I came across this, which made me bust up laughing.
But, it's nice to know that CVS is so helpful in making sure "size counts", just in case you need some "warming liquid" during your membership attempt.

Get some money, yo!
So, here's a new competitor for PayPal, and we all know that they definitely need one. And, it's cool, because there are no fees (yet), and heck, they even give you some cash just to sign up. A cold, hard $25.
And your account is FDIC insured...and yes, I checked at the FDIC. It's listed as First Bank & Trust, National Association, FDIC Cert: 27078. Go here if you want to search for yourself.
Anyway, I figure, why not get the $25 from them? And in the interest of disclosure, yes, I get $10 for referring you. Ain't it a wonderful world? Sign up immediately!

A blast from the past...
Ever wondered where "GuyOnTheAir" came from? Well, it was one of my first, and favorite jobs. While I still work in radio to this day, I haven't exactly been "on the air" regularly, well, at least my voice hasn't, in many years.
But, what did I sound like when I was on the air?
I dug up some old stuff, and thought I'd share a clip with you!

Sometimes you get an error that is just so good...
I was surfing a Web site today, and got this:
That is, I think, one of the finest error messages I've ever seen. And it goes on and on and on, and well, I have no idea what it says when I'm done, anyway.
I think I'll call up tech support, and read it, letter by letter to them. They'll get to see what it's like to wait "on hold" for an hour, while I simply spell them this message.

I'm probably WAYYYY too entertained by this, I admit...
But for some reason, this struck me as terribly funny. (Yes, I am a child, apparently.)
This is from "ShopTalk: The TV News Industry's Insider Newsletter". Anyone else notice any problems?
You've got to be bored, but, it's still pretty cool!
I ran across this strange site with photos of broken figurines. I'm not sure how he creates these, but it's fascinating, and here's one of my favorites.

A new take on kick the bottle...
Here's something pretty cool. I've often liked that if you blow in a bottle with a certain amount of water, it produces a note. But, this stunt takes it to a whole new level. How about a classical piece simply by hitting different bottles?

Here's a sight you seldom see...
I was at The Block at Orange, eating lunch and doing a little shopping the other day. As I rounded the corner, I couldn't help but take a second look.
Yes, I know this is silly. And yes, I've seen naked mannequins before, but for some reason, this merited special attention. Also, it caused me to laugh, on an otherwise stressful day, and I thought it was hilarious. I also wondered why I hadn't thought of doing it myself to mannequins before. (No, I did not going about pansing the mannequin. It had been done before I arrived.)
So, there they were, in all their glory. I'm sure Old Navy will be proud!

"Will It Blend?"
That's the question asked by a popular, yet unheard of (by me) campaign for Blendtec blenders. At their web site www.WillItBlend.com, Blendtec's CEO Tom Dickson asks that question many times. From iPhones to garden hoses, Tom tries to blend just about anything. And he's open to your suggestions, too.
My hats off to a company who decided that they'd grab hold of the "viral video" phenomenon and produce a bunch of stuff that could show off their blenders.
When I first saw WillItBlend.com this morning, and saw the Blendtec name, I knew I'd seen the name before. Back in the day I used to work at Starbucks, and they used Blendtec blenders to make all those Frappuccinos. So these things really work!
And just so you know, yes, it will most likely blend, as these aren't your $29 WalMart special blenders. These things cost $400.
(The site seems to be slow today, as I think they're getting a lot of traffic from people wanting to see if the iPhone will blend.)

Can you count the passes?
I stumbled upon a fascinating post on a Web site. Obviously, this was on Dateline, and such, so it's not THAT amazing or new, but I found it quite interesting, anyway.
So, can you count all the passes?
Check it out. And let me know how many you saw. I say there was...Oh, check it out, first.

Here's something interesting...
If you've ever found yourself just taking pictures of people you don't know, for no particular reason, well, then there may be a spot on the web for you.

A new product I got today...
I got a new product in the mail today. It was just a smaller part of an order of gadgets and stuff that I wanted, and had shipped to me from Hong Kong, or some such place.
In the package was this device. It's innocent, really. It's a full body massager... Uh huh!
But, if you will, take a look at that fine print... That's what got me laughing. Palates? My "neversness"? And, of course, I will use it often. I want to "maintain my good looking and so on."

An illustrated Bible, verse by verse?
Here's something kinda cool I found. It appears to be a community project, where you too can submit an illustration of your favorite Bible verse.
Apparently, over time, the site wants to have an illustration for every verse in the Bible. But, I'm just curious how they're going to do all those "begats".

And now for something a bit different...
I tend to enjoy the work of people who push the envelope a bit. What's fun about these particular people is that they do it all in the name of art. http://www.woostercollective.com/

Multiversity experience
Rarely have I found something that created the mirth and enjoyment of this blog. It all came about because of this ad on eBay that somebody commented on. Read that, and it's hilarious. And in it, there's a link to the blog, which is also quite amusing. I'd LOVE to meet this guy.

A penny for your "thought shower"?
Political correctness is running rampant. I tried to take a picture the other day, and I asked everyone to say "cheese." Of course, I was lambasted for being so insensitive to those with a lactose intolerance. But, there's actually a group called "Global Language Monitor" that has a list of this year's most popular phrases and words for political correctness.

From the "Fascinating Read" department...
Is Your Printer Spying on You?
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is an organization that works to protect your digital rights. The EFF continues to champion the public interest in cutting-edge issues of free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights. About a year ago it was revealed that several printer companies were quietly encoding the serial number and manufacturing code of their color laser printers and color copiers on every document those machines produce, ostensibly to combat counterfeiting. The codes are invisible to the naked eye, but with the help of a blue LED and a microscope you can see the yellow dots on the page.
The EFF set about to try to decode those dots and discovered how to read the date, time, and printer serial number from the codes. There are pictures of the codes and their analysis at:
