I'm a Superhero

Hee. This site is so much fun: The Hero Factory.

Jimmy Kimmel, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and A Whole Bunch of Celebrities

Somebody gave me a link to the song Sarah Silverman sang on Jimmy Kimmel a few weeks ago called "I'm F&%*ing Matt Damon".



I'm usually not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel or Sarah Silverman, but that was very funny. Both Matt Damon and Sarah Silverman were very game, and went all out.

So tonight, I didn't turn off my television right after the Oscars, and caught the beginning of Jimmy Kimmel's Oscar special. And he had a rebuttal for that initial song:



That was truly hilarious. I can't believe how many celebrities he recruited to sing about his love for Ben Affleck.

The Wonder That Is The Internet! Plus YouTube-a-palooza!

Those who know me in real life know I have a fairly unusual name. So I was really surprised when someone with the same exact name contacted me on Facebook and she lives right near where I live. How crazy is that? Especially given that she speaks French, and it is not exactly full of French speakers around here. I thought that was cool.

I couldn't sleep early this morning so I played with YouTube from links at a board I frequent. But whenever I get one link, it leads me to something else and so now... Anyway, I present to you fun clips from my hunt.

100 Movies, 100 Quotes, 100 Numbers. This video is amazing. They've compiled 100 movie clips with each number from 1 to 100. It's so cool. Oh, and I had totally guessed what they would use for number 11! LOL (11, 43, and 71 are in my Top 20 favourite movies! :))



How cute are this puppy and kitten play fighting? This kitten is tenacious if a little foolish...



Oh, and an Office video just because... "It's Getting Hot in Here, Scranton Style." (Technically, I know "here" is written with 2 "R"s in that song, but I refuse to write it that way.)

(Not So) Clean Fun

A link to a ton of random, but funny, IRC conversations here.

So after I went to the ballet on Saturday night (which was outstanding), I went to see "Knocked Up". Talk about a different plane of entertainment... LOL Anyway, it was funny and I liked, but not nearly as much as I had enjoyed "The 40-Year-Old Virgin". I think Steve Carell really took that movie to another level. Plus, his chemistry with Catherine Keener was wonderful whereas while Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl were good, they were nothing outstanding. By the way, "Knocked Up" is raunchier than "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" if that is possible...

Before "Knocked Up", there were some previews and Seth Rogan's next movie is called "Superbad" and it stars Michael Cera (aka George Michael from "Arrested Development"!) Looks very funny. So I'll add that to my list of upcoming movies to watch out for. The one movie I want to go see this week or next is "Waitress". I need to go before it closes.

By the way, my blog turned 2 yesterday! How time flies by!

So Funny!

At a board I frequent on occasion, someone posted this diagram of how blog comments work, which is so hilarious because it applies to about any slightly contentious Internet forum/blog I've been to. Humans are predictable creatures.

Then, someone else posted a lightbulb joke as a variation on the same topic... I've clearly spent too much online, because that was all frighteningly familiar.

How many message board posters does it take to change a lightbulb?

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.

Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...

Another six to condemn those six as stupid.

Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct spelling.

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

Thirty six to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty.

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL.

Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too".

Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.

Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs."

Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a light bulb.

and

One group lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now with something unrelated and start it all over again!

Yes, I Am Still Alive...

I've been super busy recently so I haven't had the time and/or energy to blog. But anyway, I am still around. I just had to post a hilarious parody of Studio 60 (which I watch because of the good acting while simultaneously hating it because the storylines are lame & stalking is apparently real love). Anyway, so Mad TV did a parody of Studio 60, and it really made me laugh so much because it is so on target:

I Am Easily Amused...

This is such a funny website: Stuff on my cat.

BST LINK EVER!1!11!!! OMG WTF LOL

Hee. Many years ago, on a message board about a show that shall remain nameless ;), a bunch of us would talk in what someone dubbed, for some reason that escapes me now, "footz" language. Basically, we would write in barely comprehensible Internet lingo just to entertain ourselves. It looks like someone had the same idea, and came up with this awesome English-to-12-Year-Old-AOLer translator. THES SI SO COL!11!!1! LOL I CANT STAND IT!1!1!!! WTF LOL ;)

Pride & Prejudice Reenacted...

With dolls. It made me laugh so much.

How Can You Not Love A Website...

Which has an entry this long about swearing in Quebec? Awesome. As you can see, unlike English where most curse words are associated with sex and/or bodily functions, all the curse words in French-speaking Quebec are derived from religion, most precisely Catholicism. It is so funny to read a list of curse words, especially since stringing them together makes them that much more potent when we curse. The person who wrote this was fairly thorough, because they even explains why derivations of the words fuck and shit are actually very mild curse words for us (the kind of stuff you hear on TV, and which offends few people.)

I never swear in French (or very rarely), whereas it doesn't bother me as much in English. I'm not a total potty mouth, but I have some favourite words when I'm exasperated. My poor mom who thought she raised a lady. LOL

Ewan McGregor is a Tomato and Judi Dench a Lobster...

An ad for a British movie channel that is chock full of celebrities. It has Lucy Liu, Rhys Ifans, Mackenzie Crook (Gareth from The Office UK), Willem Dafoe, Gael Garcia Bernal. Awesome. And yes, Ewan is dressed up as a tomato. I love him for it.

Just So You Know...

This is what will happen when the world ends. I'm really looking forward to it.

Media: Fake and Real News.

The Onion is a brilliant fake newspaper. May Sweeps Stunts, New Anti-Abortion Pill Kills Mother, Leaves Fetus Alive, & Alligators Dangerous No Matter How Drunk You Are. I admire clever, satirical writers. This is one talent I wish I had.

On a non-fake news matter, I saw this editorial linked on a website. Funny stuff. Plus, it is from a Dallas newspaper so it is a little shout-out to returning Dallasite, Ms. Jamie.

Cool Link

Before I forget about it, I wanted to share a cool website: Guess The Sitcom Character or The Dictator. Prepare to be amazed by a powerful algorithm. LOL

This Gave Me The Giggles...

My roommate forwarded this joke to my inbox. I'm not sure where it comes from but I have to say that the absurdity of it all couldn't help but make me laugh...

Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French

President Bush and a giddy Jacques Chirac shake hands on the deal.

BATON ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.

"This is a bold step forward for America," said Bush. "And America will be stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity with French Prime Minister Jack Shiraq, who was so kind to accept my offer of Louisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash."

The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.

"Jack understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush. "He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lot of work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're going to fix it."

The move has been met with incredulity from the already beleaguered residents of Louisiana. However, President Bush's decision has been widely lauded by Republicans.

"This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. "Instead of spending billions and billions, and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we've just made 25 million dollars in pure profit."

"This is indeed a smart move," commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. "Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we've made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again."

The money gained from 'The Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped back into the rebuilding of Iraq.

Today's Funny Relief

My mention of the day goes to the Daily Show writers for figuring out that an anagram of the banner "Mission Accomplished" that Bush used on the day he proclaimed the war in Iraq over was "C'mon I lied, so scampish". I laughed at that one for a while.

I had also to mention 3 findings in the realm of entertaining blogs...

First up, the first blog I ever read regularly, Dave Barry's blog. It never fails to crack me up. People send in links to weird and funny news blurbs and other items. Here is one of today's entries: Ebay Item You Should Not Click on While Eating Of The Day So Far. Sexy skirt for £0.99 & the picture...is a little scary. Hee.

Second, Go Fug Yourself. I mentioned it occasionally on my previous blog but, for not those tuning in then, this is just a fun place to visit. Marvel at all the ugly clothes stars that likely cost their owners a fortune. I agree with Jessica and Heather, the bloggers of Go Fug Yourself, it's dismaying to see the leggings making a comeback. Yikes.

I don't remember where I found this third link, probably at TWoP boards, but regardless it's awesome for a good laugh! I'm Tom Cruise, and I'm in LOVE!!! The picture of Tom as a crowned king in today's entry is priceless.
