That which tickles your funny bone

2-0-5: George Bush's Year in Review

Ernie just sent me word that the latest JibJab cartoon is out. As is to be expected, it is as well crafted as ever. Check it out.

Remember back in grade school, at this time every year, you would fold up white pieces of paper and cut out pieces to make snowflakes? And then your teacher would hang them up around the room? And then, when everyone else’s was still hanging up, you would be working on your fifth snowflake because you keep cutting a little too deep and chopping them in half?

Well, now you can make as many as you want and you have an UNDO button! LookAndFeel New Media has put together a gorgeous flash game where you can cut out your own snow flakes and then save them as graphics. Check it out!

This one’s for Shannon.

Apparently, someone with way too much time on their hands has timed their entire holiday home lights display to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s piece, “Wizards In Winter”. The video is quite a testament to the rock band. If anyone has any more info on where this house is located or who made it, let me know.

Trans-Siberian Home Lights Display

You can learn how to do this yourself or listen to more Trans-Siberian Orchestra pieces.

Update: Amanda writes, “Where else would you find such craziness than Mason, Ohio. Unfortunately the light show was cancelled last week.”

Sad that Cedar Point is closed for the winter? Well, worry no more! Get together with your closest buddies and build your very own Redneck Rollercoaster! It is an awesome video.

Giant Jellyfish

If you can’t beat ’em, eat ’em!

That is exactly what Japan is doing with their sudden jellyfish infestation. From the Times Online:

THEY are called echizen kurage and they sound like monsters from the trashier reaches of Japanese science fiction.

They are 6ft wide and weigh 450lb (200kg), with countless poisonous tentacles, they have drifted across the void to terrorise the people of Japan. Vast armadas of the slimy horrors have cut off the country’s food supply. As soon as one is killed more appear to take its place.

Finally, the quarrelsome governments of the region are banding together to unite against the enemy.

In the meantime locals are making the best of it — rather than just complaining about jellyfish they are eating them.

This is ridiculous! Completely ridiculous!

You just gotta check out the video!

Amanda sent this to me:

Man of India Kids Drawing

Here is a man of India.
He is praying to his god.
His god cannot help him.
This man must know about Jesus.
Can you think of some ways to help him?

I came across this page, and I thought you might enjoy it. It must be an old coloring book page (let’s hope it’s not too recent), there wasn’t any source listed with the picture. I’m glad we were teaching kids tolerance and acceptance at such a young age.

I don’t think this jives with the book I am currently reading.

In light of the holiday spirit, here are two wonderful spin-offs of the American classic, “A Christmas Story”.

First, if you are tired of watching the full 93 minutes over and over again on TBS’s all day Christmas Story Extravaganza, check out Angry Alien’s version: “A Christmas Story in 30 Seconds, Re-Enacted by Bunnies”.

Or for those who are looking for a different take on the original story, check out the trailer to “A Christmas Gory”.

For those J-E-L-L-O fans, artist Elizabeth Hickock has made a complete scale model of San Francisco. I wonder what O’Reilly would think!

Boy, that’s a lotta horse hooves!
