Poem for English speakers...

2008-08-25T09:22:00.000-07:00

Taken from wikipedia, attributed to anonymous (that anonymous guy is really prolific.)

I take it you already know,
Of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead - it’s said like bed, not bead,
For goodness’ sake, don’t call it ‘deed’!
Watch out for meat and great and threat,
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there’s dose and rose and lose –
Just look them up – and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go and thwart and cart –
Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Why man alive!
I’d mastered it when I was five.

Only in England?

2008-08-01T06:43:00.000-07:00

I'm hungry now? --Thanks to Ken for this gem.

Finally some cool!

2008-07-11T06:54:00.001-07:00

Not the way to park.

Get rewarded for good...ish behavior...

It's important that we make sure that understand the concept of a production website...or it could go down.

Got nothing better to do? Let's take New Zealand.

Been a while but here is something....

2008-06-19T13:29:00.000-07:00

Feel the Power of the Dark Side.
Actually the dark side looks kinda dorky.

American Handshake

2008-05-14T14:07:00.000-07:00

American Handshake - cultural anthropology at its finest.

Midweek Cool!

2008-05-12T11:44:00.000-07:00

Not so much funny as just really neat.

Legos really are cool!

2008-05-06T11:28:00.000-07:00

My son is a huge fan of the Lego Blocks. But I really don't want him trying this.

Mmmmm Bacon. Mmmmm Doughnuts. Mmmm Bacon-doughnut?

Last but not least for you bird lovers out there. Apparently global warming is good for a segment of the population.. Just remember the Brits speak a little differently that we do. Get your mind out of the gutter. Thanks to Ken for pointing out this lovely piece of reporting.

Oh yeah, Strangely addictive site - Typeracer. Way more fun than it should be....

Dude had rough time with his phone provider?

2008-04-30T09:22:00.001-07:00

I'm guessing not only was this guy ticked, but he is in the math or science field.
Whoa.

Gin, Television, and Social Surplus

(Just way interesting).

OK, This isn't funny (not haha anyway - maybe more hmm.)- Just kinda thought provoking and I'm pretty sure it's all over the web anyway....There's this guy named Clay Shirky. He has some interesting thoughts about our culture and how it's changing and the relationships between socail networks. Pretty neat stuff....

Here's the transcription.
Here's the video from blip.tv.
The video is about 15 minutes long but I consider it time well spent....I mean better spent than watching say "Gilligan's Island"

Slow FridayCool

2008-04-25T08:06:00.000-07:00

Looks OK to me...Ooops!

Also if you are an aging penguin you should look into a wetsuit.

Just cool!

2008-04-17T12:27:00.000-07:00

I had a slow week. I did find this cool picture of the Night Sky over Flagstaff though.

Freeze Frame

2008-04-11T11:49:00.000-07:00

What happens when 207 people decide to freeze for 5 minutes?

Friday Cool?

2008-04-09T11:27:00.000-07:00

Dangers of reporting? I guess being a reporter is a good job...until it isn't.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was an organization sworn to uphold the 1st amendment?

OK, this is just kinda cool! I'm betting on the Mudcats!

Hockey fights have changed...

BBC hiring policies

2008-04-04T06:43:00.000-07:00

Apparently you won't be hired if you call the head of HR a "skank ho"

I'm just saying this is probably not a good interview technique.....
Many thanks to Ken for pointing this out.

hey kool-aid

2008-04-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

OK. So I know it's not Friday yet, but I didn't want to forget. Especially since
I got to take this picture.

Snapped this on my way home from work.
The funny thing is someone drove a car through that wall a couple of years ago......

Holy Crap. This guy has a lot of free time....

OMG!

Hmm

2008-03-25T10:52:00.000-07:00

You can merge Harry Potter and SouthPark? NSFK
OK this is just kinda Cool. Think they'll figure out a way to cap that guy and use all of that wasted stuff?.

Glad I wasn't here.

For all of you moms out there.....One of the best Mommy rants ever!

Oh yeah, one more thing...don't try this.

2008-03-20T05:03:00.000-07:00

Interesting public service announcement. Thanks Peter. I didn't.

Man. Having the crowd really effect the game can be both cool and disturbing.....

Ooops

2008-03-13T05:52:00.001-07:00

Don't try this at home it's not a parking space.

Genius? And by request MANCOLD

2008-03-05T12:24:00.000-08:00

Late Addition and Edition:
It's true I have a man-cold.
As my wife and her friend have pointed out.

Ok this guy really didn't think.

Be careful what you ask Grandma......
-----------
Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.'

Sarah and Jimmy; Matt and Ben?

Fri. August 17 -- All from Ken

2007-08-17T06:11:00.000-07:00

Very Cool Magic Trick.

Kid tricks- Cool fingerpainting better than me.

The truck you need.

A guy is driving around the back woods of Alabama and he sees a sign
in front of a broken down shanty-style house: "Talking Dog For Sale. "
He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in
the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking
Labrador retriever sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Yep," the Lab
replies. After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk,
he says "So, what's your story ?" The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I
discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help
the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me
jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world
leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was
one of their most valuable spies for eight years running." "But the
jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any
younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the
airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious
characters and listening in." "I uncovered some incredible dealings
and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of
puppies, and now I'm just retired." The guy is amazed. He goes back in
and asks the redneck owner what he wants for the dog. "Ten dollars,"
the guy says. "Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you
selling him so cheap?" "Because he' s a liar. He never did any of that
stuff."

Thanks Laura -

The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a
spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one pretty sharp boss!)
When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of
having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans.
The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally
written for other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.

About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 List. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone! The top 10 were:

10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!
9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.
8. Viagra, like a rock!
7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.
5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.
4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
3. Viagra, Home of the whopper!
2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!
And the unanimous number one slogan:
1. This is your peepee. This is your peepee on drugs.

I've come across some really fun things on the net. I thought I'd start sharing some of them on Friday's.

Pearl Jam fans will find this one particularly amusing....This one is pretty safe for work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLd22ha_-VU

This reminded me of some old Bill Cosby stuff but is still different enough to be funny.
This one is less safe for work. (Language)
