Don't forget what's in the nail gun!

Warning: This video is not for those with weak hearts. I wasn't looking at the screen through most of it. It was pretty cool, though.

Wonder what it takes to develop a memory like this?

Spoiled rotten kids who didn't get what they wanted for Christmas

http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/people-who-didnt-get-what-they-wanted-for-christm



Alrighty, this is nothing short of disgusting. The parents of these kids might have screwed up royally, but in large part these monsters are a product of our materialistic society. Fantabulous. Am I the only person who DIDN'T want a car or iPhone for Christmas?

Stupid students

These are funny, though at the same time horribly depressing. Time to mourn the American education system.

Helping kids break down gender stereotypes

Super cool article written by an elementary school teacher. I can't wait to see how this next generation of kidlets turns out.

Have you tried the Purina diet?

Got this in an e-mail recently...



Yesterday I was at my local SAM'S CLUB buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog, and was in the checkout line when the woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Sam's Club won't let me shop there anymore.

Better watch what you ask retired people! They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say. Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends........it will be their "laugh for the day"!

A transgender girl who just... "knew"

This girl is a teenager. Think about that. As I read this, I felt as though I was seeing the words of someone much older. This gives me hope for the future.

KristyHobbs1: The mentality of a troll

If you're a part of the Supernatural fandom, you may have heard about KristyHobbs1, a self-described Destiel fan who hates Jared Padalecki. She's got a Twitter account, and from what I understand, a Tumblr account as well. Many people are getting defensive, but this article about the trolling mentality and degenerate fans offers a different theory. Before you post about her anywhere, please take the time to read this and pass it on to other Supernatural fans!!!

The Tin Tin movie!

I very vaguely recall watching the cartoon version of Tin Tin on TV, so I think that seeing a movie version would be super cool.

In case you haven't seen a preview:

And in case you don't remember the original:



Opening TinTin -- cobra123454321777

http://youtu.be/KeQif4Cg2XE



Unfortunately, I've had a really hard time finding original clips of the TV show on YouTube. Pretty much everything that I've found has been overdubbed with rude dialog. There's so much of it that it's like a fad. I hope it ends soon.

Go see the movie! If you do, feel free to leave me a comment and let me know how you liked it!!

Every one matters

As an English freak, I first off feel the need to say that yes, "everyone" is one word. But here, I mean to make a more pointed statement. We get wrapped up in our lives. In our work, our friends, our immediate vicinities. It can be easy to forget that there are more people out there whose experiences are an entirely different universe from one that we can even imagine. For the jobless and the homeless, it's not something they see in a newspaper or pamphlet. It's what they wake up to, work through every single day.

In school, I saw a presentation given by a volunteer for Tent City's 1 Matters. He was an incredible man, with a sense of humor that amazed me, despite his past. As I listened to him speak, I wrote down some things he said, which I hope to never forget. Sometimes they seem like the simplest, most obvious things, but that just means that you've forgotten to pause, think, and feel them. Realize their depth.

~The more you give, the more you get.
~Chase money, it flees. Chase quality, and money comes to you.

~If you don't use your talent... it affects you.

~You can be that one that matters for somebody.

Sam Winchester ringtone!

Hee hee hee... I like.

Although there are are multiple tracks listed here, it's just the same two over and over. The actual ringtone is the short one. I definitely want Sam Winchester telling me to answer my phone... it'd be even better if he was on the other end of the line, too.

Powerful photos from 2011

Wow... I find it hard to believe that all of these things happened this year. So much chaos and violence. Kudos to the photographers for capturing these striking moments in history... too bad the list couldn't be longer, and more events, such as those in Libya, couldn't have been shown as well.

Screw this auto cucumber!

Bahahahahaha. Damn You, Auto Correct! is by far one of the funniest websites I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it's so easy to get sucked into it that I generally don't pay it visits. However, someone posted a link to the top 25 auto corrects, so I could totally deal with that. Enjoy!!!

Huh. I now feel inclined to go see what some of these look like. Which is funny, since all I'll see are smudges anyway.

Facebook dump: Trying this out

Yeeeah... I think I'm going to add this feature to my blog. A Facebook dump is when I find a bunch of little things on FB that I think are cool, and throw them all into one post for you. There are jokes, statuses, memes, whatever. Enjoy!



Husband receives a phone call from police:
"Sir we have found the body of a woman who we suspect is your wife. Can you please come and identify the body?"

Husband: "Aw, damn. I'm a bit busy right now. Why don't you take a pic, tag me on Facebook and if it's her,I'll click the "like" button 'kay?"



Ok so I'm gonna start off with a random word. You reply with also just ONE word relating to the word I posted. Then I will take YOUR word and post ONE word relating to your word etc. The word = SKY

Dear Optimist, Pessimist, and Realist. While you guys were arguing about the cup of water. I drank it.
-The Opportunist



The girl you just called fat?? She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for our country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. post this to another video if you are against bullying. You never know what it's like until you walk a mile in their shoes.



Today, while taking a stroll in the park, a kid walked up to me and asked, "Do you believe in unicorns?" I answered, "No." He dunked his ice cream cone on my head, laughed hysterically, and ran off screaming, "BELIEVE!"
