You Can't Help But Laugh...

I don't usually browse the internet looking for useless videos, mostly because I'm generally disinterested, but also because I'm far too impatient to sift through all the mediocre (at best) videos to hopefully stumble across a good one. Fortunately though for all of you, I didn't have to find this video; it was sent to me. And it is possibly one of the funniest video clips that I've seen in a really long time.

It's only 17 seconds long so it's short enough to view a couple of times, which you'll probably need to really see all of what's going on. But I'm not going to say any more about it and just let the video speak for itself. Feel free to leave your comments about it though.

Jones "Garbage" Soda

When you get thirsty this holiday season, you can reach for some funky flavors from Jones Soda. They're going to be selling holiday-themed limited edition packs of flavored soda. The Christmas pack will include Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham.

Now who would want to drink ham flavored soda? As much as I like eating ham, I definitely would not want it in a carbonated liquid form. The same goes for the Christmas tree flavor. Mmmm, liquid bark. There are obviously some people out there who will drink this concoction though since they're going to sell it. But I'm not sure if I could associate with them.

Aside from these awful flavors, there will also be a Hanukkah pack featuring Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latke sodas. These aren't quite as odd, but I know I won't be buying them. And if all these flavors weren't enough, Jones Soda has a contract with Qwest Field, where the Seahawks play, to supply soda with such flavors as Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream and Natural Field Turf. This might actually explain quite a bit though.

Hopefully this hasn't inspired you to go out and buy any of this garbage. Don't further prove that people will indeed buy anything. Just because someone slaps a bar code on something doesn't mean that it should be bought.

The Happy Ninja Visit...

This past weekend the happy ninja showed up. While there wasn't much different than any other normal weekend, there were a few highlights that are worth mentioning.

First of all, there was quite a bit of Guitar Hero III played over the weekend. I must say it's one of the better games that have come out recently, highly entertaining and different than the traditional games. I wish I could speak to the proficiency of the ninja, but The Rolling Stones would have to say otherwise. As for my performance, I have to mention an astonishing 343 note streak.

We also had the occasion to play tennis. I had a little trouble with my serve probably due to the fact that I haven't played in over a year, and I am pretty sore. It was definitely worth it though, since the final was 6-4. I've still got it.

Friday night we stayed up till about 7 am. We weren't doing anything special or important since I can't even really remember. It is however further proof of the cancerous nature of the ninja.

Brooklyn Woman Wrestles a Snake

A woman in Brooklyn found a snake her toilet one night. It was a seven foot python that she found poking out of her toilet in her apartment. Plumbers had to tear apart the pipes in the apartment below in order to extract the snake. I'm sure that it must have been a frightening experience, but this lady now has a great story to tell. She's still a little spooked though because she now uses her daughter's training toilet at night.

As interesting as this story may be however, I mostly just wanted the excuse to mention wrestling a snake on this blog. It's a funny phrase. I don't really have any more to say about it, but if you're really interested in this story, you can read more about it here.

Brief Random Thoughts

I thought I would share this little bit of advertising that I found to be incredibly unique. I think it might persuade me to purchase one.

I found this picture and figured that I would share it with all of you. What would you think of having this in the bathroom? While I did find it quite funny, I think the novelty of it would wear off rather quickly and I'd soon be annoyed by it. It is pretty ingenious though. I'll give them that.

Apparently a woman really wanted her MacDonald's food. Somehow she ran over her own legs while she was in the drive through lane. I don't even know how this is possible.

The Sport of Cheese Rolling

I was sent a link to this video which showcases the not so intelligent just running down a steep hill as fast as they can. There isn't much of a hook in the video, but it's surprisingly entertaining.



There isn't much else that can or should be said for this video but I'm sure that in some way you're now better off for having watched it. You may want to share this with those you know so that they can also share in the astonishing.

Arnold Infiltrates the Workplace

Last Friday at work we received an email stating that the phone system would be upgraded over the weekend. I didn't really think much of it until a co-worker pointed out a new feature of the upgrade. And I must say that it's probably the single most important upgrade this phone system has ever undergone.

There was a new ringer added to the list of ring tones that could be chosen. It just so happens that the audio is one of the classic lines from Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Predator:

"Get to the Choppa!..."

It's kind of an odd thing to be added to the phone system at what is supposed to be a professional workplace, but it's good to know that someone still has a sense of humour, not to mention great taste in sound bites. I think it's safe to say that I'll be changing the ringer on my phone.
