I couldn't wait

Some of you may watch Tosh.O (if you don't, you are missing out). Last night he played a preview of the Web Redemption he was going to air next week. I went and watched the original video, and it is too good to wait until next week. Watch this and be sure to watch from 50 seconds - 1:10. Priceless



The funniest thing is that if you go to its Youtube page, they have disabled the comments section. I can only imagine why.

Something Different

Many of you may not listen to music that the kids are calling "rap." However, a rap "artist" called Lil' Wayne has come out with a new album in which he is trying something different, for better or for worse. He is mixing his usual raps using autotune and puts them over rock music. The results are interesting. I kind of like this, its not the greatest thing ever, but he may be onto something.

Funny jokes never die

Some jokes will always be funny, and once such joke is "that's what she said." (another one would be jokes about EdGrimley's mom). Here is a compilation of The Office and all the "that's what she said jokes."



True Story: I was teaching one day and the students were working on a quiz and one kid just wasn't working. I went up to him and said "Kerry, get to work, you can do this." He then said "It's not hard, its just long." Another student almost immediately said "that's what she said." I could barely hold in my laughter.

Is it racist?

Those of you who watch Tosh.0 know that he has a segment called "Is it racist" where he plays a clip and we decide if it is racist or not. Here I am going to introduce my own version of "Is it racist" but with words, not pictures.

I was clicking around the Internet on a boring Sunday morning and ended up reading this story about the future of the NBA. Most notably it focused on this off season and where James, Bosh, and Wade would end up. Take a look at this entry:
"For an NBA fan, there's nothing better than putting together imaginary scenarios involving your favorite superstars. Barbershops across the country should be turning over a quarter of their profits to the NBA for the time their patrons spend arguing about trade situations that, of course, will never happen."

I'm just picturing the average white reader imaging that the Ice Cube movie Barbershop is stereotypical of all barbershops across the country. I go to get my hair did all the time and have never engaged in a conversation with anyone about the NBA. Maybe about the weather or my plans for the remainder of the day, but thats about it.

Sometimes reality is funnier

If you have seen 30 Rock on NBC Thursday nights, you are familiar with Tracy Morgan's character, Tracy Jordan. One of the ongoing jokes on the show is the various horrible movies Tracy Jordan makes on the side of his main gig as the star of TGS. Here is a brief list of some of those movies:
  • Who Dat Ninja?
  • Black Caveman
  • Black Cop/ White Cop
  • Honkey Grandma Be Trippin
  • President Homeboy
  • Fat Bitch (She's off the lease)
  • Samurai, I Amurai
  • Death Bank
  • A Blaffair to Remember
  • Cruise Boat- I'm getting to old for this ship
  • Rapping Grandma
Now comes this new, REAL, movie from Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, I stress that this movie is REAL:


Horrible, horrible, horrible. I think it would have been better if they just really made his fake Black Cop/ White Cop movie. In fact I think my first choice would have been Honkey Grandma Be Trippin.

That's offensive

For those of you who do not regularly watch Colbert Nation, you missed a funny segment about how some people are offended by the smallest things. Canada has a magazine that was called "Beaver" but because some were offended by that name they decided to change it: (right after the waterboarding piece)

Tip/Wag - Waterboarding & Canada's History
The Colbert ReportMon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c

The funny thing is that Stephen Colbert wants people to make the term "Canada's history" as offensive as possible.

If you haven't already gone to Urban Dictionary to see it, check it out here. It's pretty hilarious and offensive. Number 3 is my favorite.

Also, Daily Show had a piece about the congressman with the name of Dick Sweat. Those jokes write themselves.

He's Back............

So it's been a while since I have blogged (33 days to be exact). It's not that I couldn't find a reason to be angry at the world. I lost the fire. With the semi-retirement of rival EdGrimley, there was nothing left in it for me. Then last week out of the blue, EdGrimley dusted off his keyboard and joined the game again. It's on................

So last Wednesday I had an all-day meeting at Central Office for the District. There were about 20 of us in this room for some kind of "professional development." It starts at 8:30 and then around 10:00 they give us a 10 minute break. I go walk around and stretch my legs and come back. When we are starting back up this lady comes waddling in with a large bag of popcorn (I have no idea where she found a popcorn vendor in an office building). She then proceeds to sit down and start stuffing her face with the popcorn. Not just eating the popcorn but grabbing handfuls of it and stuffing her face with it. (It's 10 am, not that that is ever appropriate) So I'm sitting here trying not to laugh at this situation and my coworker lady sitting next to me asks whats so funny and I say "Nothing, it just feels like a Saturday Night Live Skit in here." She then looks and sees what I was laughing about and looks at me and says "don't be a snob." What? So not stuffing your face with popcorn in a business meeting at 10 am is being a snob? Sorry.

It reminded me of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "Mac and Dennis Breakup." (video not available, damn Hulu changing there 5 episodes only rule) Mac tries to help Frank clean up his lifestyle by not cutting his nails with a knife, not using garbage to stop his bleeding, and not eating cat food. Frank thinks not eating cat food is just putting on airs.


More to come soon, he's back
