Don’t forget your slippahs and to take better ones when you leave

Dang, they’re quick. I guess this is what happens when a Hawaiian moves into the White House.

In The Know: Should The Government Stop Dumping Money Into A Giant Hole?

Pop Culture: 1
John McCain: 0

This is based on the Rick Rolling meme.

BTW: The video in the background is the following:

This is worth watching, no matter which presidential team you support.

Tina Fey pulls off Sarah Palin very well. Uncanny.

By now, you’ve all heard facts about Sarah Palin (abusing power, firing people, banning books, porking it to the Feds, etc.) Now for some humor.

Lesbians For Sarah Palin – “… we would start this website advocating that our lesbian sisters nationwide turn out in DROVES at all presidential campaign pit stops where Sarah Palin appears. Arrive with large signs openly proclaiming, “Lesbians For Sarah Palin.” Let’s be out and proud about it, my sisters!”

This may be April, April 30 to be exact, but the following is not an April Fools’ Joke.

People of Lesbos take gay group to court over term ‘Lesbian’ – Yahoo! News
ATHENS, Greece – A Greek court has been asked to draw the line between the natives of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos and the world’s gay women.

Three islanders from Lesbos â?? home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love between women â?? have taken a gay rights group to court for using the word lesbian in its name.

One of the plaintiffs said Wednesday that the name of the association, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, “insults the identity” of the people of Lesbos, who are also known as Lesbians.

“My sister can’t say she is a Lesbian,” said Dimitris Lambrou. “Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos,” he said.

The three plaintiffs are seeking to have the group barred from using “lesbian” in its name and filed a lawsuit on April 10. The other two plaintiffs are women.

It might be a tad too late to put the genie back in the bottle.

Six year old graffiti artists.

We are frequently asked how we met Beepo. Those who ask know how most people have met Beepo, but they wonder how he came into our lives.

The answer is simple. We saved him from a tomato and quickly fell in love his adorable nature, antics, and wild adventures. He is now part of our growing family.

One day, Beepo snuck up on an unsuspecting tomato.

But the tomato turned on him, snarling like a junk yard dog.

Run Beepo! Run!

You’d be surprised how loud and messy a snarling tomato can be.

Run Beepo! Run! Keep Running!

Watch out, you might be splashed with acidic tomato drool.

He jumped into our arms and safety immediately after this photo was taken.

He’s now an inseparable part of our family. Sadly, the tomato escaped capture.

It looks like the Muppets are running for President. Go Kermit! Go Miss Piggy!

I had no idea Google Maps could be evil. The guys who made this video provide a whole new perspective. Watch the video to find out more.

AOL decided to downsize and close its office in France. The recently downsized staff made this video as an au revoir and thank you for AOL’s years long commitment to its staff. I’ve heard, but not confirmed, that the staff received a year’s severance which is required by French law.

Update: The lyrics of the song are a mix of French and English. You can get the original lyrics, as well as an English translation.

It is amazing they were able to take it in one long sequence. That shows they probably put some work into preparing for the video. They don’t dress or look all that differently from the Silicon Valley crowd.

I love Japanese game show fun.

Ever eat at a sushi restaurant or make fun of people who do? This video is for you. Get your reading glasses out for the subtitles.

I love Japanese variety show skits and games even though I don’t speak/understand Japanese. This one is particularly hilarious: Human Tetris. Well worth the few minutes you spend watching it.

I’m punchy after studying too much. For some reason, I brought this video up to my wife and even partially acted it out. Now I’ve decided to post it.

I find it hard to believe the following news headline isn’t true.;)
