Remember in high school at the strip club, when the nuns would talk about how God makes it rain you made it rain on that stripper, and you’d get “excited” for no a very good reason? Well this video is kinda nothing like that.

To begin… these aren’t special deals. These are suggestions I’ve hand-picked for you. I’ve categorized them into groups for those hard-to-buy-for loved ones. A lot of them happen to be USB products. Go figure. (Click each image for more information.)
FOR GRANDMA:
Grandma collects good luck trolls and loves cats, so why not get her one of these! (Possible setback: Grandma doesn’t have a computer… hey, there’s another gift idea on the house!)
Yoda blushes when his lightsaber glows! Wait, that sounds NSFW...
Transforms your jump drive into a cat!
FOR GOTH SISTER:
She hates almost everything… except cigarettes and ironic murder!
When Texting & Driving meets Smoking & Typing...
Even unicorns hate mimes...
FOR ANNOYING KID BROTHER:
Known for liking gross things and dumb things, you can’t go wrong with these!
Saves the mess of squeezing a real frog.
This ain't your daddy's Pet Rock! It has a USB cord!
FOR PERVERTED UNCLE:
I’d suggest having these delivered to his house.
She gyrates whether or not there's any porn surfing.
I'm not here to judge. Only to provide ideas.
FOR DOUCHEBAG BROTHER AND MASSEN-GIRL SISTER:
Oh brother… oh sister…
Leave your guitar at home and play Maroon 5 songs on this shirt!
Perfect for when girls go wild!
FOR DAD:
Dad thinks he’s funny. I mean, he maybe once was, but times change. Time to change his towel:
FOR MOM:
Mom would like to be funny as well. This might provide her the chance to freak everyone out. Maybe.
FOR GRANDPA:
He’s classy. He maybe fought in a war or two. He married your grandma and stuck around as the above brood grew. Get him this:
It's understated, and upside-down.
There are three phases to my gratitude for the lovely Alison Brie.
1) As Trudy Campbell on Mad Men, she first caught my attention. Playing a put-upon cuckquean, she somehow reminded me of a real-life Disney Princess that realized wishing gets you nowhere. And oh how I wish to meet her! she was on Saturday Night Live instead of co-star January Jones!
His disregard for her feelings makes me a mad man!
2) As Annie Adderall Edison on Community, she wriggled further into public awareness in a more notable role. And she’s also proved she’s funny. And funny goes a lot further in the cute department, of which she’s the manager.
Will she end up with Troy, Jeff, or the entire Community?!?
3) And of course, there’s always this case study in stunning black and white…
If have never heard of Tommy Wiseau or The Room, then you’re missing out:
Watching it is like having a fever dream, only the movie makes less sense than a parasite-driven meltdown.
The fact that this has been produce and is ready for sale brings great joy to the cold cockles of my heart, and for that, I’m thankful.
I wish his hair was real.
Also thankful?
The Gang can always make room for The Room
"Hey would you like to swing on a star..." Oh no wait, that's the theme from "Out of This World"
…or should I say, “I am thankful someone else has heard of Otherworld.” In the days since the TripleDoubleU has taken its foothold as our MRS (memory replacement system), there are few things I cannot find any mention of out there via Google.
Unfound(dead) Item #1 – Fender Bender ring anyone’s bells?
Unfound(dead) Item #2 – Anyone else ever hear that John Williams reversed a song he wrote to make the Star Wars theme (other than the Indiana Jones theme which is the dumbest rumor I ever heard!)?
Anydogpile, I remember Otherworld for only one thing – everyone there was primarily left-handed. Nobody on all the other blogs I checked mentioned that. Oh well. It existed. You can watch all eight episodes from the 1985 show here. Or just watch the intro and end below. Or do nothing but dream about turkey. This was my Thanksgiving miracle, not yours, so I’d understand. Jerk.
(I apologize for the slow load on this page, but I decided to collect the clips for easier access. And sorry the list is so long, but I wanted to prove a point.)
When talking about a movie’s score, modern audiences probably think it has something to do with how much it made at the box office on opening weekend, or what it’s rated on Rotten Tomatoes. In actuality, the movie’s score – primarily the theme song – should be more than a cue to what you’re supposed to feel throughout watching the flick. It should capture the spirit of the story in a melody… one that you can carry with you in a hum.
As a child, all my favorites had excellent theme songs (you can hum them without a hint):

While kicking back brews and shooting the breeze with my pals, the glow of the TV showing whatever game we’re interested in holds our gaze. And that’s what it’s all about with us men, so they say. We’re “visual creatures” allegedly. Our eyes are too big for our stomachs, and our stomachs are the way to our hearts. Wait, I got off topic…
Oh, yeah. During said television events, especially of late, companies have been promoting the hell out of two video games: Left 4 Dead 2 and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City.
And all I think upon watching these previews is how much more like movies video games are becoming. I have Unchartered 2: Among Thieves and it’s better than any action picture I’ve seen in a long time (The Dark Knight notwithstanding), and it makes me laugh…
Haven’t we as a public (well I know I have) been bitching about how much movies are starting to look like video games? I could give two shiitake mushrooms about James Cameron’s Avatar or Robert Zemekis’ A Christmas Carol*, and they’re really no different from the games. Except for the fact that I partake in one and watch the other… Hmm…
Perhaps men aren’t just “visual creatures” after all… We’re touchy, too.
*I do want to see 2012, and it’s as heavy a CG feast as Avatar.
Neveneffecten is like the Kids In The Hall of Belgium (Kids In The Hall is like Monty Python's Flying Circus of Canada)
This video will not be on the front page. I features an excitable wang dancing against a Windows XP backdrop. It is a YouTube video so it’s not too profane, but it’s still NSFW (and Not Safe For Mind).
Courtesy of the above Belgium comedy troupe, Neveneffecten, they often spoof National Geographic videos on their absurdist show, emphasis on graphic.
Hopefully you can enjoy yourself as much as this penis appears to…

Teddy bears have been around since the conception of President Theodore Roosevelt decided not to shoot a bear tied to tree in 1902, deeming it unsportsmanlike.
What one really has to do with the other, I don’t know, but keeping that in mind, it sort of paves the way for these future misappropriations of cute widdle fuzzy teddy bears by popular culture, whether it’s…
Even though it may be fuzzy wuzzy, it’s still an AWFUL BATTLE… GO!
This past weekend marked the adorable debut of Taylor Swift as a certifiable triple-threat (singer, songwriter, and Actor!) on Saturday Night Live. (It’s the singer/songwriter part that makes this a valid Musical Musing. Click here to hear the funny – and honest – song she wrote for her monologue.)
Overall, I think she did great. And I’ll admit – I may be biased. (Proof. More proof.) But given the material they wrote for her, you can’t deny that she has talent.
By far, this Digital Short took the strawberry cake. (And it’s all over the web already… late start on my part.) Check how her impression of Kristen Stewart stacks up by watching both videos below. If you want to see the entire SNL episode, you’re a dummy for missing it live you must have a life on Saturday nights head on over to Hulu.
