Friday fun: a howling good time

How long since I posted a silly dog video? Too long, too long.

A diagram on the ocean's depth. Wow. Reading this gave me the willies. But then, I've never been a fan of water over my head. Even visiting an aquarium still makes me nervous sometimes.

Easy poster printer - have to try this now that we have a decent printer again.

The apartment of a Star Wars fan - actually, kind of cool-looking.

Where do uncles and aunts come from? [comic]

I know zombie crossover movies are about to become all the rage, but is the world ready for zombie Star Wars?

And for my mom - old film slides, turned into stained glass curtains. She has a bazillion old slides, but I don't know. Would you ever?

Friday fun: big blue monsters

A complete list of sources Avatar's accused of ripping off. Always nice to see folks taking time out of their busy day to remember Andre Norton. Otherwise, this is a big whatever to me. Can you really call it 'ripping off' when the basic storyline is as old as Odysseus? You don't hear about Homer getting his panties all in a bunch over O Brother, Where Art Thou, do you? Now, get off Cameron's back. He was just trying to entertain you, for corn's sake. If Hurt Locker doesn't win the Oscar, it's not his fault.

Your kids will learn so much about the big blue people in their neighborhood when they read this easy-reading book about the police.

My favorite Lost T

Putting the tooth fairy on notice

Time traveler's kit - Definitely need to make some as gifts. Yes, I know many people so weird, time travel is the only plausible explanation for their eccentricities. And I will wrap each kit in the sock that the recipient is destined to lose in the dryer in the year 2017.

Friday fun: omnium gatherum

Happy Friday, and welcome, February! Today, I'm going to make this post as long as possible (in terms of size), in order to push that dreadful Thor poster down and out of sight. Damn, that face gets scarier every time I run across it.

Miss Marple Attempts Stand-up Comedy

Thank you for your warm welcome. It is wonderful to be here at the Chuckle Hut. But one has to keep a close eye on the patrons here, does one not? For example, I just witnessed swarthy Mr. Slovitch tip his waitress with a one pound note. Just one pound, sir? Tsk tsk. I happen to know Mr. Slovitch embezzled 700 pounds from his employer just last week. Constable Charles, I believe you'll find the exact amount he stole located in the middle drawer of the oak bureau in the guest room of his residence at 151 Clockington Place. Minus the one pound tip, of course.

Sonic Harry Potter Obama backpack! With flowers too fuk yeh. Lord, I miss fifth grade.

Coffee mug-stained note paper - because the art of tacky correspondence should not be allowed to die.

"Ze smell of blood iss in ze air ..." - classic children's book Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, as interpreted by Werner Herzog. This is really, really disturbing. But I confess, he hit upon a few troubling aspects of this story I myself noticed, way back when. How about you?

[comic] Alice in Wonderland for the researcher set

Blasphemy? - well, no, this isn't the Middle Ages. Let's just call it Museum Wedding Reception.

Last but not least ... The folks who produce Mr. Deity are having a grand time with the Old Testament. And as we know, there's enough bizarre material there to keep this web series going for decades. Here's the latest. Have a great weekend. And if you're watching the Super Bowl, GO TEAM DORITOS!
