Manbabies with Jorge Garcia

// February 16th, 2009 // No Comments » // DVD Menus

Hurley is easily my favorite character on LOST (which is my favorite show), so when I discovered he had a blog, I immediately subscribed.

DispatchesFromTheIsland is less about LOST than it is Jorge’s life on the island of Hawaii. Even if you’re not a fan of the show, you should check it out. His writing is personal, engaging and entertaining – all things that make you want to keep reading.

I’ll also blame him for showing me Manbabies.com (see image below). Hilarious and disturbing a sat the same time.

So, thanks for freaking me out Jorge.

Mail Order Monkey

// January 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Cartoons

Found this ad in the back of an old comic while looking up content for a another post. Not sure what’s the funniest thing about this ad.

1. The fact that you could send away a coupon from a comic and get a monkey.

2. The text accompanying the ad:

Darling Pet Monkey $18.95

This Squirrel Monkey makes an adorable pet and amusing companion. Show it affection and enjoy its company. Almost human with its warm eyes, your family will love it. The YOUNG monkeys grow about 12 inches high. Eats same food as you do (even likes lolipops); simple to care for and train. FREE cage, FREE leather collar & leash, monkey toy, and instructions included. Live delivery guaranteed. Only $18.95 express collect.

I have trouble believing that this was legitimate.

Hilarious video. Be sure to watch the whole thing. Get’s even better at the end.

This comes from Michael, but I had to post it as well. Simple, but blew my mind ever so slightly.

Redneck Jedi

// February 15th, 2008 // No Comments » // Web

Some of these are pretty hilarious. You might be a redneck Jedi if…

• You ever heard the phrase, “May the force be with y’all.”
• Your Jedi robe is camouflage.
• You have ever used your light saber to open a bottle of Bud Light.
• At least one wing of your X-Wings is primer colored.
• You can easily describe the taste of an Ewok.
• You have ever had a land-speeder up on blocks in your yard.
• The worst part of spending time on Dagobah is the dadgum skeeters.
• Wookiees are offended by your B.O.
• You have ever used the force to get yourself another beer so you didn’t have to wait for a commercial.
• You have ever used the force in conjunction with fishing or bowling.
• Your father has ever said to you, “Shoot, son come on over to the dark side…it’ll be a hoot.”
• You have ever had your R-2 unit use its self-defense electro-shock thingy to get the barbecue grill to light up.
• You have a confederate flag painted on the hood of your land-speeder.
• You ever fantasized about Princess Leah wearing Daisy Duke shorts.
• You have the doors of your X-wing welded shut and you have to get in through the window.
• Although you had to kill him, you kinda thought that Jabba the Hutt had a pretty good handle on how to treat his women.
• You have a cousin who bears a strong resemblance to Chewbacca.
• You suggested that they outfit the Millennium Falcon with redwood deck.
• You were the only person drinking Jack Daniels during the cantina scene.
• If you hear . . . “Luke, I am your father… and your uncle…”

Smurf Family Reunion

// January 31st, 2008 // No Comments » // Web

Is that a Smurf family reunion? Nope, it’s just a group of Croatians attempting to set the world record for “most Smurfs gathered together at one time.” Unfortunately for them, bad research botched the attempt.

Carter Says

// January 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // Carter

Carter is one of the most well-spoken 4-year olds I’ve encountered. That’s likely in part due to the fact he gets a lot of practice talking. He can fill 30-minutes of driving with questions, comments and answers. The sad reality is that it causes you to tune out at times and there’s not telling what you’re missing.

I’ll be posting from time to time, fun things he says or does as a way to remember them and to share them.

Lately, he’s been enjoying Fruit Cocktail which he calls…

Fruit Cottontail

Some things you just don’t want to correct him on.

Wonder Twins Face the Truth

// December 2nd, 2007 // No Comments » // Cartoons

After years and years, the Woner Twins finally (well, Zan anyway) faces the cold, hard truth about his powers.

Opus Outs Cartoon Character

// November 29th, 2007 // No Comments » // Comics

Don’t really have much to comment about this except, it’s nice to know I wasn’t the only one that thought J.K. Rowling “outing” Dumbledore was completely pointless. Click the image and read cartoonist Berkeley Breathed’s opinion on it. Absolutely hilarious.

Star Wars: Turn Off Your Cell Phone

Just ran across this great “Turn Off Your Cell Phone” ad for theaters made using footage from Star Wars. Very funny editing of the existing footage.
