Is that what I think it is; flaming robot legs pushing a shopping cart down the street while passers by pass by without so much as a glance? Yup. I’ve been watching it twice a day for the past few days and I’m still smiling. LINK: Gizmogarden. ShareThis

When Absolut vodka asked Improv Everywhere what their idea of an Absolut World would look like, the Charlie Todd team did what they did best… they went to the airport, to welcome strangers home like champs. How fun is that? LINK: Improveverywhere. ShareThis

Have a look. Don’t turn away just yet. Again, nothing is moving here. Nothing. Or is it? Maddening, I know. ShareThis

Complaining can be fun too; my people, the chosen ones have long enjoyed a sport we call Kvetching, and now you can too, thanks to Kvetch.com. Here’s how it works, follow Kvetch on twitter www.twitter.com/k..., and when you’ve got something worth complaining about direct message it to them. From there, it shows up in their web site’s random feed for others to vote on. As for me, I’ve always hated how few stories that begin ...

This is good, this is god, this is good. Send a text message to 41411 with the word ‘rick’ followed by a ten digit phone number (like this: Rick 555-867-5309), and booya, you just rolled ‘em by phone. LINK: Naked. Thanks Mikearauz. ShareThis

Next time someone asks if you know something (for example, “what’s the address of that restaurant on Spring Street?” or “what was the URL for that blog Zoomdoggle you told me about?”) simply go to Letmegooglethatfo..., put in whatever it is they should’ve googled in the first place, then send them the link it spits out to show them how it’s done. In the case of the fun blog, it’s going to look a lot ...

Before I even get into this one, it should be noted that most federal agencies, with their mile-long lists of codes and regulations, are actually a barrel of laughs when approached properly. This is mainly because no one person actually knows and understands that mile long-long list of codes and regulations. That said, when happens when you mail a letter with coins taped to it instead of postage? As Ilya Shaydman of Philadelphia learned (yay ...

By now, you’ve probably heard about the Yes Men’s INCREDIBLE New York Times prank. (For those of you living under a rock, I give you the video.) That’s just how it happened too. On Wednesday 12th, on my way to work, a guy walked up and asked if I wanted a paper. He asked just outside the L stop, but not in a way as to imply that he was distributing them, more like he’d ...

You know I love Obama (especially when made from office supplies). And making things from other things (especially when what they make is Mr T). And cupcakes (what? there’s no shame in it). At last, the culmination of all three: Zilly Rosen got 1240 cupcakes, several shades of icing, and, apparently a seamless to make the pictures pretty, then she got to work. CupcakesTakeTheCake (my official resource on all things cupcake) got the interview. Apparently ...

It’s always fun when you find a favorite new blog. Even more so when they share a common interest. Meet Craigslisting, a blog for and about documenting the weirdness that goes on Craigslist, and the weirdness that responds to it. Take this recent adventure by Parisian John (Frank) who answered a rather unique sex ad in Paris. Follow along from the ad, to the pictures, to the correspondence. How fun is that?

How many Spider Men can you fit inside a Jamba Juice? And here I’d worried Dave had lost his touch. ShareThis

Ze Frank is a damn dirty ape. But only cause he’s so smart it hurts. His bit of brilliance is done in in the name of hope, patriotism and cooperation. From 52 to 48 with love is a collection of user-uploaded pictures in which the subject offers a cyber handshake to his/her fellow voters from the 2008 election, specifically the people who voted differently. Amazing. LINK: Zefrank via URLesque. ShareThis

I don’t know why there’s a laugh-track like this is Charles In Charge, the Japanese are crazy. Then again, how is one meant to react when seeing a guy in giant slinky suit get all Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon before your very eyes. Amazing. ShareThis

I can’t confirm this, but I’m pretty sure this particular spread was fist conceived at the Homer Simpson Institute of Awesome. When I drool in my sleep, I’m pretty sure this is the stuff I’m dreaming of. At least we meet. $15 for a pack of three means there’s more than enough to go around. How fun is that? LINK: Bacconaise.
