An email from Ireland to the brethren in the States… a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:

We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States. On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can’t keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run.

Now…On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate Mc terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What in Lords name are ye lads thinking over there in the colonies?

Filed under both humor and politics… is that redundant?

Now this is just weird, but very funny. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Put together by Joss Whedon and starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, and Nathan Fillion among others. Harris’ maniacal laugh at the beginning of Act 1 is hilarious. It’s a strange comic book story filmed as a musical. If I understand it correctly, all three acts will go offline in a few days. A short term project.

Update: Episode III just came out. An unexpected ending. I shouldn’t have been surprised because it’s from Joss Whedon, and he’s known for going in unexpected directions. Is it actually possible to be unsurprised by a surpise ending you didn’t see coming?

This isn’t a show that I normally would watch, but this guy can really dance… or something. I’m not really sure what I’d call it. What ever it is, he’s really talented.

The Disintegrator – A 24-Barrel Rubber Band Minigun.

Why might you ask, would anyone want a 24-Barrel Rubber Band Minigun? Why not?

Amazing video. Lucky pilot. I realize they’re not actually supposed to fly quite that low, but it’s an amazing piece of flying anyway. Listen to the music in the earlier parts of the flight.

This is posted on military.com as a real video, and it looks like it to me, but you might notice the word simulated blink occasionally. Does anyone know what that is? Is it one of the warning systems, or has the video been edited in some way?

A Trunk Monkey. Chaperon version of course.

Somebody has a sick sense of humor. I love it. The Web Page from Hell.

I’m not sure why, but these two quotes struck me as particularly funny today.

A synonym is a word you use when you can’t spell the word you first thought of. – Burt Bacharach

You know you’re getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you’re down there. – George Burns

While I continue being too busy at work, run over to The Online Photographer and watch the video of the “Paintball Office” photo shoot. Sure the photo shoot looks long and difficult, but isn’t PhotoShop cool?

Now this is just hilarious. – BannerBlog : Apple: Sign

Another Monday, another Open House. I’m reminding on mornings like this of my favorite quote:

“Some mornings, it’s just not worth chewing through the leather straps.” – Emo Philips quotes

This is the Monday edition of Open House, and comments and trackbacks are now open. If your site doesn’t support trackbacks, use the Wizbang Standalone Trackback Pinger.

Roay Pearson, who I’ve mentioned once or twice, is in the news again.

US trousers-claim judge loses job

Roy Pearson’s term as an administrative law judge in Washington DC expired on 2 May and the selection commission voted not to reappoint him.

In 2005, Mr Pearson sued his cleaners after they refused to pay for a pair of lost trousers.

He said they had failed to honour a pledge of “satisfaction guaranteed”.

Apparently, the selection commission wasn’t satisfied. Don’t you love irony?

Somebody at Skinny Moose wants to know…

Some days don’t you feel like this guy…

No, no I don’t.

He is very funny however. Go take a look.

Everything a Mom says in a day, condensed to two minutes and fifty five seconds… and put to music.

For everything you need to know about the writers strike, go see what Ze has to say about strike day. It’s not actually a news story, it’s much more coherent. Did I mention that it was funny? Well, this is Ze, so that could be assumed I suppose.

“Our products have been specially designed to increase the effects of tobacco on you and the people around you.”

I might not sound funny, but it’s a spoof on the tobacco industry. Check out a couple of their products. I like the face cream commercial, but this toothpaste bit is the best part.

Make My Logo Bigger Cream! But wait there’s more!

Warning, do not use all of these products on the same ad!
