T-rex Slap-down
(thank you Anthony for this amazingly silly picture)
Also, I've made it easier to leave comments (I've removed the stupid word verification thing which forces you to type in a word to prove you're not a bot and to decrease spam, and seeing as that's not really a valid concern at this point in time, the verification doo-hikey will remain off until I start getting spam up the bum)

28 tips for traveling
I stumbled into a handy little list of things to keep in mind and know if you plan on traveling to another country. Some of them are kind of "no duh" kind of tips, most of them are very good things to keep in mind, and a few actually taught me new things. Anyway, enough of the intro, here be the link:

New little idea
So, in my finite boredom, I've decided to regularly (weekly) update the little message that appears under the blog's name...
Basically, the area in the red box will be updated every Monday with something silly and usually half-sensical...
(i'll admit the example isn't incredibly silly, but bear with me, some of the ones I've got in store are really good)

How to Turn a hoodie into a laptop bag
I mean, you might wanna put a safety-pin or two to make sure the sleeves don't unravel, but still... a darn good idea

Situations where the "picture them naked" technique just doesn't work....
if you didn't get it, take a look at the red sign as the guy walks out of the door in like the last second of footage

Black Dragon Trailer
believe it or not, this is NOT a real movie. There are currently no plans to produce it, and considering how the trailer looks, it's a damn shame. I've seen multi-million dollar movies that didn't look anywhere near as good as this (yes, the whole video reaks of cliche, but still, it's a very well-made cliche)

The reason crappy movies are popular
Ever wonder why crap sells? specifically, bad movies, that you watch and go "how in the world does anyone enjoy this?" and then see that that movie is somewhere in the top 5 in box offices? well, this comic explains the whole phenomenon:

Yes, it's a tad wordy, but it's totally worth the read

From the tip box
Ever get ink on your couch or a shirt? now there's a new and simple way to get it out. Shelley over at lifehacker.com has this:
"Last week my two year old drew all over my (brand new!) cream fabric sofa with a red ballpoint pen. I was horrified. However after some googling I discovered that you don't need expensive chemicals—good old-fashioned hairspray will do the trick PERFECTLY!
Just spray the hairspray directly onto the ink, wait 30 seconds and then simply wipe the ink away with a damp cloth. You can actually see the ink coming to the surface! My sofa now looks good as new. Apparently it works on all fabric for all types of ink, so next time your pen leaks in your shirt pocket, don't bin the shirt, just use hairspray to remove it. It doesn't even matter if the ink has dried, and you can use the cheapest of cheap hairsprays too."
I can't say I've haven't tried this method yet, mostly because I haven't been feeling particularly angry at any of my shirts recently (and the fact that I haven't used a pen in weeks), but it seems like a better idea than expensive and smelly cleaners...

It should be illegal to be a jerk
You should be hauled of to jail if you're rude to the clerk.
(And if the clerk's rude to you he should be locked up too)
We'll put all the jerks together in an asshole zoo.
It should definitely be illegal to yell.
If you make the server cry then you're of to a cell.
And I don't give a monkey's how aged you are-
If you just can't be civil then it's au revoir.
If they treat you like shit 'cause of your in a uniform
They should get one of their own and be made to reform.
Because a person's not garbage 'cause they make less cash.
It's your self-exaltation that belongs in the trash.
Yell at the staff-
Out on your ass.
Talk down to the waiter
And we'll see you later-
'Cause you know it should be illegal to be a jerk
and maybe if it was we might want to go to work.
All credit goes to the amazing guy who writes these comics:
http://www.viruscomix.com/page486.html
yes, most of his comics have a lot of words, but it's actually well written, and worth reading. And it updates only once a week, so it's not a huge gap of time taken out of your life
