Dilbert and Twitter

Frank La Vigne — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:03:00 GMT

This is too good not to share: Dilbert and Wally convince the Pointy Haired Boss to get on Twitter.

CatScan?

Frank La Vigne — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 23:51:00 GMT

I saw this while searching for scanner drivers for an old scanner.

Amidst my frustration, it managed to make me laugh.

So I thought I’d share it with the group.

Breakin' and Poppin'

Frank — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:42:00 GMT

Some commercials are so representative of their time, they act like a snapshot of an era frozen in time.

But the only question I have, can I still buy it?

I want the instruction poster to hang on my wall.

Homer Simpson Inspired Graffiti?

Frank — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 19:03:00 GMT

One of the best things about having a camera phone is taking pictures of things might otherwise go unnoticed.

Here's a bit of graffiti behind an Italian restaurant in Fairfax, VA that shows Homer Simpson's catch phrase has built up some street cred.

There is a chance that this means something completely different and, right now, those down with the lingo are laughing.

Sunday Night Silliness: Return of the Crazy Frog

Frank — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 00:22:00 GMT

The Crazy Frog returns in the EuroPop/Techno remix of Queen's “We are the champions.”

The soccer themed music video and song was made, no doubt, for the World Cup earlier this year.

It's been a while since I blogged about the Crazy Frog, but every time I post about the mentally unstable amphibian, I get a lot of traffic.

In fact, one day in May, I made two posts: one was an outpouring of my soul opining on a topic of the day; the other was about the Crazy Frog.

The Crazy Frog post got *a lot* more traffic.

The pen may be mightier than the sword; but a meme trumps everything else.

Sunday Night Silliness: Treadmill Humor

Frank — Sun, 29 Jan 2006 14:01:00 GMT

Here's a CG animation of a rather uncoordinated polar bear having issues with a treadmill.

Since I've been spending quality time running lately, I thought it was particularly funny.

Sunday Night Silliiness: The Internet is Great

Frank — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 21:57:00 GMT

Here's a music video I came across on Google Video.

What's really cool about the video is that it's a Machima production using World of Warcraft characters.

The music video is all about the age old debate about what the Internet was originally designed for.

The song does contain some mildly offensive language that the squeamish may object to. You have been warned.

Here's a family friendly alternative blues song from a ginerbread man.

There's a lot of potential in Machima.

Sunday Night Silliness: Baywatch Cologne

Frank — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 17:47:00 GMT

Something tells me that this is going to be big in Germany. *grin*

Seriously, though, when I lived in Germany, Tom Jones was much more popular at the time than David Hasselhof, depsite his claim that he helped bring down the Berlin Wall.

Although, this was sent to me by a German, so maybe there is something to the stereotype. ;)

Sunday Night Silliness: The Ultimate Showdown

Frank — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 21:14:00 GMT

Add a catchy tune to a Flash animation, Godzilla, Jackie Chan, Shaq Fu, and a more beleivable plot than the average Hollywood action flick and you get the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.

The tune is so catchy that it will definitely stick in your head.

And what's an action flick without Samuel L. Jackson? Look for his cameo.

Sunday Night Silliness: Mike Ditka Raps

Frank — Sun, 11 Dec 2005 19:17:00 GMT

Legendary NFL coach, Mike Ditka tried his hand at becoming a rap star in the 80s.

It's a good thing he didn't quit his day job.
