On Point: Better Off Ted (ABC)

By Afolabi
Warning:  Show requires a REALLY good sense of humor. 

This is probably the funniest show you have no idea about.  Last night's episode had me ROTFL (that's "rolling on the floor laughing" to the neophytes).  I really wish they had full episodes available to post so you can know what i mean, but i guess you're just going to have to watch it yourself on ABC, Wednesdays at 8:30pm.

Everyone on the show works for Veridian, a cutting edge food/bio/randomness technology company.  Veridian had just lauched a cost-cutting energy plan that uses motion sensors based on light.  Basically, when a person moves anywhere in the office the sensor picks up on the brightness/light on the person's skin, and thus sensors turn on lights, open doors, activate water fountains, etc.  So you can only guess where that leads, absolute hilarity!!! And this scene...

Guitar Hero - Metallica vs NCAA Basketball Coaches

By Afolabi
I never thought i'd see the day when Roy Williams, Coach K, Rick Pitino, and Bobby Knight would be caught with their pants down, all at the same time.   Talk less of with a bunch of leather clad rocker dudes standing in the same room chastising them. Wow!

Demetri Martin is probably one of the funniest comedians today (at least out of those who speak in English).  Along with his new show, Important Things with Demetri Martin, he has had numerous TV specials, one titled "IF I" in particular. I have compiled a playlist of the 6 part series for your funny bones. Happy St. Patty'd Day - enjoy.


Demetri's Palindrome (can be read forwards and backwards):

 

 

"Dammit I'm Mad"
by Demetri Martin

 

 

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I'm a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I'm it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
"Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I'm mad.

Worst URL's In The World

By George

The Top Ten Worst URL’s in the World

Couldn't let these go unblogged:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents’ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com


6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at www.gotahoe.com


Shoulda thought these ones through... or maybe it works for them? Sex sells, as they say!

Boswell D. Rabbitsmith aka Steve Wright Quotes

By George

If you’re not familiar with the work of Boswell D. Rabbitsmith, he’s the famous erudite scientist who once said: “I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates.”

His mind sees things differently than most of us do, to our amazement and amusement. Here are some of his gems: (He also makes his living as a comedian by the name of Steve Wright….)

1 - I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

2 - Borrow money from pessimists — they don’t expect it back.

3 - Half the people you know are below average.

4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.

9 - All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.

10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.

12 - OK, so what’s the speed of dark?

13 - How can you tell when you’re out of invisible ink?

14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

16 - When everything seems to be coming your way, maybe you’re in the wrong lane.

17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not being smart enough to be lazy.

18 - Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

19 - I intend to live forever… so far, so good.

20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.

22 - What happens if you get scared half to death…twice?

23 - My mechanic told me, “I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.”

24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

25 - If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

27 - Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

30 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.

32 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don’t have film.

33 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
