Come visit my photo

Huh. I’m not sure whether I should be flattered or annoyed that no one asked for my permission to post a photo of mine on this website. I guess they feel since they gave my Flickr username credit it was ok?

I think I’m more perturbed by the alt text on the photo that says, “If you have taken a better photo of Itasca. Please email us a copy and if we like it, we might use it.” More like “If we find a better photo of Itasca we’ll just take it”. Also that’s one sentence there, not two, brainiacs.

FALPVF #3

The 25 Most Baffling Toys From Around the World – Wow, those Japanese are obsessed with poop!

Sock Zombies – One of the weirdest, yet strangely cute, things I’ve seen in a long time. People’s creativity astounds me.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks – Lots of yummy recipes on this site that I must try soon. I love how detailed the instructions are and the accompanying photos at each step are phenomenal. It’s a food-lover’s dream.

FALPVF #2

Ok, so sue me, I’m a day late. [Don’t know what I’m talking about? See this post].

Hamleto The Hamster is a little comic strip I came across this week. Very cute if you’re a hamster owner. Otherwise, possibly boring.

Flip & Tumble Bags are reusable bags that roll up into the size of a peach when not in use allowing you to keep one on hand all the time. I could see the usefulness when shopping or traveling. Plus I’m a bag whore and these are inexpensive.

A rare SNL gem: People Getting Punched Just Before Eating (which is airing again tonight). Love the music!

Freakin awesome links, photos, and videos Friday

Otherwise known as FALPVF! Haha, that’s the title for a new feature on my blog that, knowing me, will likely be one post and then dropped. I cannot be trusted to blog regularly as many of you have come to realize. In fact, you might as well subscribe to the feed so you don’t waste your time checking back here frequently. I don’t have much to say. Work is work. I watch tv daily. I play Guitar Hero a lot (for now until I get bored).

So here’s some stuff I’ve seen in online that I would like to share with you all!

Bears … Beets … Battlestar Galactica – Otherwise known as Jim vs. Dwight on The Office. I laugh my ass off every time I watch this.

If that doesn’t float your boat, why don’t you break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast?

Do you prefer cute creatures? How about this hamster? Or perhaps this dragon-pig?

If creepy is more your style, check out the Living Dead Dolls pencil sharpener. Just what you need when you want to ram a pencil in some douchebag’s eye!

If organization and usefulness make you excited (like it does for me), check out the Dynomighty Magnetic Desk Dots or the Mobile Device Charging Holder. Imaginative name, that last one, eh? Manbearpig must have had something to do with it.

Can I have your domain?

I got an e-mail the other day from someone that said, “Can I HAVE ‘domain name I’m not sharing here‘? I dont plan on making $ from it. Thanks.”

Seriously, who does that? Just because I may have that domain pointing to another site because I’m not yet sure what I plan on doing with it doesn’t mean I’m just going to give it to someone. If I didn’t want it, I wouldn’t have bought it.

Ironically, the e-mail address of this person points to a site where he does try and make money. Based on my domain’s name, it could easily be used to point to his current domain to drive more traffic to his site. Who does he take me for, a moron? I haven’t replied to his ridiculous request, although I was tempted to write, “Sure, for $10,000 it’s yours”.
