Happy Find… Please Rob Me

Well not me, specifically...

I don’t say this often – mostly because the majority of things are not – but here I go… BRILLIANT!

I’ve often thought when perusing my Twitter feeds, “Why did he or she say that?”

Usually the that pertains to a variety of other inappropriate TMI-type things.  Sometimes though, people report where they are at, and by stating that, they are informing us Twitter users where they are not, and that long run-on sentence leads me to this:

Please Rob Me

It’s a website that collects Tweets of people announcing their whereabouts, and it leaves the rest up to you go-getters.

It only leads me to question whether there’s a site that collects what people on Twitter eat.  Wait, yeah… there is.

Happy Find… The Beardly

Also equals... "Awesome"

The last Happy Find kick I was on involved the websites with fuck in their URL.  Between Selleck Waterfall Sandwich and now The Beardly, I hope not to continue a facial hair trend.

But, you never know, considering the current state of my face:

My suggested slogans are below...

Happy Find… Selleck Waterfall Sandwich

There’s not much more than can be said about this Happy Find than can be said by this logo:

If it doesn’t make any sense, here’s the translation: Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. And you haven’t had your fill of 80’s facial hair, beautiful flowing landscapes, and, well, meat and cheese between bread slices, here’s a tasty taste:

A submarine sandwich? How rich! (Click image if the GIF isn't working)

Feel free to think of this post as a belated Valentine’s Day present, or as a Heart Shaped Boxing Day present for our Canadian friends!

Happy Finds… Confusion Abounds

Sometimes I find too many websites that make me happy.  Today, I found four.

1) WTF Comcast – Who writes these summaries?  Who cares?  They’re hilarious and strange, and collected on this website.

Damn interns.

2) Boozecats – Here’s the math behind this website:

party photo – booze + cats = win

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" they all chanted. Because Chug was the cat's name, you see.

3) Sexy People – This picture says it all.  But if you need to hear more (if this portrait didn’t, in fact, “say it all”), check out this website.

I think I used to have the same wallpaper...

4) 100 Things I Learned – Films have a lot to teach us.  For example, here are some things people learned from watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

#1 – Don’t let your mom eat environmentally friendly brownies served by white kids in dreadlocks.

#6 – Michael Bay will always stress that when teleporting from America to Egypt, it will still be the middle of the afternoon.

#13 – If a Transformer saves your life from an incredibly dangerous situation, instead of thanking him, tell him you’re completely safe now and that you don’t need him anymore.

Worth More Than 1002 Words… On Behalf Of WordPress, F— You, Bing

I searched for "wp.com," and I'll I got was this lousy t-shirt. Thanks, Bing!

Decision engine, my ass.  There’s no decision to make here, Microsoft.

If you think I wanted Hewlett-Packard’s website, or a website about Poland, I would have typed HP or Poland.  HP gets mentioned three times on one page, and WordPress’s abbreviated URL isn’t even mentioned once.  Hmm.  Where’s the ad revenue coming from?  It’s not like Microsoft and HP have any common interests, do they?  (For the record, Washington Post makes some sense, but their website is their name and not their initials, unlike WordPress.com!)

Decision engine sounds more like a retconning decision, as in “We have a crappy search engine… how can we explain why it’s that way?”

Decision engine. Fucking decision engine.  I’ve decided to stick with Google.  (BONUS: Outdated catchphrase coming up!)  And that’s my final answer.

"Baaad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-Bing, big boo..." he might have crooned.

Hibbidy-Wah?! Nic Cage As Everyone? Yes, Nic Cage As Everyone

"Forehead and seven years ago..."

For some reason, the site Nic Cage as Everyone reminded me of this old video I never posted.  But you need to know them both.  Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Yay you!

Happy Find… The Chris List

(I apologize for being behind on posts… I plan to catch up soon.)

My friend (and coworker) Chris often makes interesting web discoveries, and he always passes the info onto me, and I to you.  I always make sure to give credit where credit is due, so I thank him for his finds as a footnote.  No more.  Maybe.

This could be a one-shot; it could be a regular.  If it is, will this post stay the Chris List, or will it get a more clever name?  I can’t say for sure.  What I can say for sure is that the following website delighted our coworkers for hours/days on end.  Unfortunately I was busy at clients, and didn’t get to partake in the shenanigans…

1) Awkward Family Photos

"This is what we like to call a 'choose your own adventure' family photo."

The URL says it all, and not all of the pics and comments are hilarious, but when you find a gem – it rocks.  Unlike that pun.  Awkwaaard…

2) This pic is worth 1002 words…

3)  Appvent Calendar

Chris doesn’t even have an iPhone, but he made me aware of this site.  And even though it is iPhone centric, and I feel bad for bringing it up, it could be worth it if any of the games pan out to be good…

Just like digital candy...

Check it daily to see what new free games are available for download.  Like you ever do anything I say.

BONUS AWKWARD:

"Ever wondered what the kid with the clarinet is really thinking?"

Happy Find… People Of Public Transit

And I thought People of Walmart was Tralfamodorian zoo-worthy.  That’s probably because I live in Detroit, where we only have a People Mover* and not a subway.

Introducing… People of Public Transit!

It’s a world where this exists:

punk and hasidic jew

Does anyone else smell derivative sitcom?

And this:

big hungry girls

It's fun to pretend they're singing "Bohemian Rhapsody."

*A t-shirt that sums up the general consensus’ opinion of our beloved Detroit:

Alternate slogan: "Where the future chokes for survival."

Drunken Recollection… Of The Cable Kind (Update)

(EMBARRASSING UPDATE: I was up for 24 hours.  I may have a problem…)
How I feel right now... just waiting for tomorrow's hangover.

How I feel right now... just waiting for tomorrow's hangover.

My daze is waning.  My day is fading.  I finally have high-speed access to the TripleDoubleU at home once again, and in addition to that, I’ve added cable to the package.

Mmmm, cable… it was one of the few things that got me out of the house besides trivia and drinking and sports and drinking.  My friends and family had it, and I’d often visit them to partake in its offerings.  I’ll miss them.

So far, I’ve caught up on back episodes of Survivor.  I’ve managed to get through The Onion Movie as well as Whacked Out Videos(gah!) on G4.  The latest: I’m finishing up the Top 100 One-Hit Wonders of the 80’s on VH1 Classic, even though I know the results of the list.  The reason being we discussed this the other day at the bar.

Other topics during recent bar trips:

Okay, well oddly, I don’t remember, because I didn’t really make a point to.  See, for the month of May, I’ve decided to give up my Mt. Dew, my booze, and my fast food.  Nine days in, I’m holding up quite well, although I’m not really seeing a difference (although I’m feeling it… every morning I feel like dancing great).  I am still being social and going out to the bars.  How else will I harass others into going out in the future if I cop out now?

So now I’ve decided upon watching the Spectacular Spider-Man on Disney XD (oh, yeah, that reminds me – I watched a bit of Chicken Little earlier today).  And I’m not sure what I’ll watch later. 

Oh!  They just showed a commercial for these, and I must admit, I’m tempted:

…stinking kids channels.  Me wanty bottle people and cereal box guitars.
