A Good Way to Kill Some Time

There's a really cool promotion going on right now for the new Treehouse of Horror Simpson's episode coming on in November. You edit together a promo clip for the show using existing video, audio, and whatever titles you want to add in. You can create your own here. After creating your clip you can submit it to win prizes, the grand prize being a trip to LA for the Simpson's 400th episode party.


If you want to see my entry, you can check it out here. I'm actually pretty proud of it. (Yes, I realize I'm a geek, no need to point it out.) Hope you enjoy!


(BTW, the line in the attached poster is one of my all time Homer favorites. Maybe someday I'll get around to doing a post on best Simpson's lines ever. More for me, than anyone else.)

Senor Limpieza

I promise I'll post something more substantial soon, but I thought this was funny. Upon being asked if he did anything interesting yesterday, our warehouse manager replied, "nothing, just cleaned." This got me to thinking about the product "Mr. Clean" and how perhaps it's time for it to be a bit more ethnically diverse. A little boredom, a quick picture, and some photoshop work yielded this:
It would have been better, but the program crashed on me while making it and I had to start over from scratch. Oh well. Good way to kill some time.

The Parking Lot

This is what happens when you work in a small office and it's a slow news day. Poor Juan, he didn't get lunch until far later than usual on this day. Of course, neither did the rest of us, but sometimes that's what you have to give to make the joke work. My freshman year in college some guys released a skunk on our hall. Never before have you heard a bunch of freshman guys scream like little girls (I was asleep at the time and they woke me up). The guys that released the skunk got sprayed worse than anyone, but you have to admire their resolve.

As long as we're on this topic...here's a link to the best practical joke I've ever seen. Very impressive.

Something Funny

This is a clip from a Late Show performance by the late comedian Mitch Hedberg. I've just recently discovered Mitch's comedy and wish that I had run across him sooner. It's a shame that he like so many other talented artists died before his time. At least he left behind some of his brilliance for the rest of us to enjoy:
