Introducing My Blogroll 2008-03-07 07:48:44 My humor muse is off sick today, so I’ll take this opportunity to introduce some other great humor blogs which are in my blogroll. I discovered most of these through Humor Blogs, which I’ll talk about first. I have not made my way through all the blogs listed in Humor Blogs, and of those I’ve [...] Read more:Introducing

Wikiparody Entry: Atlas Farted 2008-03-05 20:36:24 Atlas Farted
Atlas Farted is a novel by Ayn Rand (the American pen name taken by Russian author Aleksei Bibik following an only partially successful sex change operation), first published in the United States in 1957. It was the last of her works of fiction before her writings turned exclusively to philosophy, politics, and big game [...] Read more:Entry

Metaignorance 2008-03-04 09:42:00 I’ve coined a new term. It’s not a portmanteau, but it’s a good enough word nonetheless. The Stinker hereby instructs you to add this word to your vocabulary and begin using it immediately.
Here it is:
Metaignorance (mě’tä-ĭg’nər-əns), noun. The state of being unaware of how much one doesn’t know; an ignorance of one’s [...]
Wherein I Do NOT Commit Blasphemy 2008-03-03 07:55:21 Oh, hai readers.
Let me just say right up front that there is NO blasphemy being committed in this post. I’m just making fun of a statue today. That’s all, just a statue. I am NOT making fun of the Son of God whatsoever. Not even a little. I’m only poking fun at the outrageously ostentatious [...]
Another Rejected Care Bear 2008-03-01 10:01:41 Courtesy of The Blogger Exposed (of The Skin I Am In and Miss-Adventures Abroad fame) comes yet another rejected Care Bear idea: Freedom Bear. He is perhaps the most lovable of them all! Despite his arrogance, he comes complete with an order of soggy freedom fries, readily doles out soggy ‘freedom’ kisses, and totes [...] Read more:Rejected
Rejected Care Bear Ideas 2008-02-29 09:07:53 “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” — Scott Adams
If this quote is true — and since it comes from the renowned Scott Adams, I think we can assume it is — then the American Greetings marketing department must be very creative indeed. I’ve been mining [...] Read more:Rejected
Song Parody: Fly By Night 2008-02-28 07:00:04 Today’s parody (yes I know, two parody posts in a row) is of a classic song from the greatest, most fantabulous, bestest band evar — RUSH!!!1!!!1!!eleventyone!!! Three musicians widely regarded as among the very best at their respective instruments, not to mention Peart’s lyrical genius, and they’re still going strong after 33+ years. [...] Read more:Night
Song Parody: Downtown 2008-02-26 06:55:06 Today I am poking fun at a truly classic song, Downtown
, written by Tony Hatch and originally recorded by Petula Clark in 1964. This song is especially Stinker-worthy because Hatch finished completing the lyrics while on the toilet, just thirty minutes before Petula was scheduled to record it. (No shit; see here.)
And the gal [...]
Meme: Ten Signs A Book Has Been Written By Me 2008-02-25 09:18:39 I stole this gimmicky meme from Mr. Fab of Pointless Drivel, who took it from Kat of Kat’s Random Thoughts.
Ten Signs A Book Has Been Written By Me:
It is not an actual book, but rather a manuscript printout.
It has a publisher’s rejection letter paper-clipped to it.
It is in a large manila self-addressed stamped envelope, having [...]
Extremoverts II 2008-02-22 13:24:06 As an INTJ, I’m basically an idea guy. I get a million ideas every day. The mad cacophony of voices in my head never stops. Unfortunately I tend to forget these ideas almost as fast as they come to mind. I think some subconscious part of my brain filters most of them out, as a [...]
Song Parody: In The Air Tonight 2008-03-11 13:41:57 Here’s my parody of Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight
,” from his Face Value album, circa 1981. A great song, from a pretty good solo effort. Over the next few years Phil became a sellout, dragging his Genesis band mates along for the ride, as he and the boyz transitioned from progressive rock to pop [...]
Couple of Quick Props… 2008-03-10 15:12:07 (1) Special thanks to DutchBitch, of The Dutch Files fame, for making me your Bitch O’ The Week and pimping my blog the first week of March!

Easter Island Statue Begs for Somebody to Scratch His Nose 2008-03-10 08:18:49 EASTER ISLAND (AP Newsliar) — Breaking a seven hundred year long vow of silence, Matumanaraku — one of the giant “moai” statue heads found throughout EasterIsland
— pleaded for somebody to scratch his nose.

w00t! w00t!

Things I Have Learned 2008-03-20 08:23:24 Here are some of the many interesting things I have learned just from being a typical suburban dad:
I have learned what the house smells like after a 2-year old dumps an entire bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips down the heat register. (It smells semi-sweet. For a while.)
I have learned how high I need to set [...] Read more:Learned
A Special Thanks… 2008-03-25 07:03:52 … to the stupid asshole driving in the fast lane up I-675 this morning, matching speed with the car next to you. You probably don’t realize it since you were so studiously ignoring the traffic piling up behind you, but your refusal to move over created conditions that came very close to causing a serious [...] Read more:Special

Stupid Humor Muse 2008-03-24 08:47:54 So my stupid humor muse has bailed on me. She hasn’t shown up for work since like last Wednesday, and had only been coming in to the office sporadically before that. The stupid, lazy, good-for-nothing slacker. Anyway I’m dead in the water now.
Just look.

Scraping Bottom 2008-03-28 08:59:46 Hopefully I’ll get a new humor muse hired soon. Without one, I’m having a tough time coming up with a decent post. Here are some motivators, LOLs, and talking pictures from the “bottom of the barrel” file. These are so lame I almost didn’t post them.

Song Parody: Jesus Take The Wheel 2008-03-27 08:07:37 A parody of Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus
Take The Wheel”:
Jesus Take The Wii™
He was playing online against some kid in Cincinnati
In a multiplayer brawl
Mario dodging those attacks from Yoshi,
tried to steal his smash ball
Fifteen stages to go, and he was running low on health and power-ups
And he was out of beer
He’d been playing for hours and [...]
The Six Word Memoir 2008-03-26 07:54:58 The Blogger Exposed (of The Skin I Am In fame, as well as My Virtually Dysfunctional Life fame and Miss-Adventures Abroad fame — yikes, what an overachiever!) just tagged me for the “Six Word Memoir
” meme.
Here are the rules:

Trukindog, of Trukindogs Blog fame, has given me an Excellent Blog award. Thanks, Trukindog! (And I know it’s not an April Fool’s Day joke, because he posted it on the 28th!)

Parallel Universe Version of “The Terminator” 2008-04-04 11:49:01 Since I’m still without a humor muse and can’t come up with any real content to post, I decided to devote my efforts towards working on my time machine. And in the course of repairing it, I made a startling discovery I thought I’d share with my readership (both of you).

The rules are simple:
Prominently display the decal below in the back window of your car or truck.
Drive across North Carolina, from one end of the state to the other.
Try not to get killed.

Meme Theft 2008-04-02 06:58:45 I stole this meme from Turnbaby of And as the world Turns fame. What the hell, when you’re without a humor muse, gimmick infringement is all you’ve got.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to tag anyone!
If I were a direction I’d be… forward.
If I were furniture I’d be… something obscure like a chiffonier or a [...]

Stinky Asshole Award for April 2008 2008-04-09 11:05:25 According to this article, many people in south Florida who have lost their homes due to foreclosure are “getting even” by vandalizing their homes before they move out. They are stripping out plumbing, ruining the carpets, busting holes in walls, pouring roofing tar and cement into toilets, and committing many other disgusting acts of vandalism.
