Meet my favorite new thing: Gasbangwallop was one of the segments from England’s Brainiac: Science Abuse, a kind of Mythbusters without any real expertise. What they lacked in brainpower however, they more than made up for in bang, silliness, and smiles (collectively called fun). Listen to the things “Barry” says to “Clive” right before the bang. Amazing!

It’s a simply question, but proper reasoning is anything but simple. Want to know how you rank-up against the rest of the world? Pop over to Think-logically (a place to “sit back, relax, and explore the art of logical thinking”) and take the test. You wouldn’t know it by looking at my hairy knuckles, spelling, or driving record, but I scored a big 93%. How’d you do?

Alright, here it is, the iPhone app that finally convinced me to chuck my joyless Blackberry in favor of Mac’s endless bucket of fun. Apparently, RjDJ lets you sample your surroundings on the fly, then scratch and mix by moving the phone. Seriously, watch the video. How fun is that?
Again I ask you, is Japan the funnest place on Earth? I’m pretty sure this game show works like this: Grease up the ladies and attempt to slide to the other side. It’s almost elegant in its simplicity. Anyone willing to attempt the same stunt state-side should contact me in the comments section.
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to somehow do more for the greater good. You know, somehow give back to the community. Social work isn’t my thing, and I don’t have money to donate, so I figured I’d start with what I’ve got. And what I’ve got is ideas. First up, a simple solution to that pesky crowded subway problem (if you live in NYC and depend on the L train, as I do, you know exactly what I’m talking about)…
Sit with it for a while before you weigh in on the matter. I’ve left the girl black and white so you can easily spot the urban hammock’er. But just think about how pleasant the gentle sway on your way into work in the morning would be. Plus, if you crank up the tension some, and your fellow riders bow their heads ever-so-slightly, you would remain high above the fray. I figure you can get 10, maybe 20 extra people on each car this way. Just a thought…
To know me is to know my love of Wu-Tang… and all things cupcake related. So you can imagine my joy when I stumbled across NatalieCakes’ lyrical mashup of the Wu banger C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) and a sweet tooth:
I can pretty much hear it in my head. A video would be the icing on the cake.

I discovered this site at 5:30AM this morning and struggled for the next 45 minutes to try and draw myself. As far as I can tell, it’s impossible. Everything comes out looking like a police sketch. And not the “this guy did something awesome and we’d like to congratulate him” type. Regardless, with over 16 million possible combinations and arrangements possible, it should keep you happy for at least a few minutes.
NOTE: There’s a “fingering perps” joke in here someplace, I just can’t work out where.

With Christmas over and done, Zoomdoggle is already starting to think Easter and Valentine’s Day. That means, respectively, Peeps and heart-shaped Peeps. Want more? More sugar, more heart, more size? All it takes is a microwave. Fun! It’s the opposite of the chips trick (Kristina does it so much cuter).
On a sidenote: Anyone know why these videos upload all boxy and weird? Also, it went in as 31 seconds, but comes out as 35 with four clank seconds at the end. What gives? Help a brother out. Thanks.
Click the squares to flip them around until all of the ends meet up. Can something be fun difficult and soothing all at once? My Mom is. So is this. Click the pic to get the game. You’ll probably also have to scroll down as well.
Sunday began with me watching this segment on Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood—and smiling clear through nightfall. I figure what better way to kick off the first Monday of ‘09 than by sharing it with ya’ll. Really, take a minute to push play, and endure the commercial at the start… if your eyes don’t well up half-way through, your heart is made of stone and your veins are filled with ice-water.
10 words I find fun: kerfuffle, whippersnapper, nipple, discombobulated, grommet, condiments, spork, floozy, boa, and dogapult ... more »
Pick up someone else's camera.
Let your face get completely slack.
Shake hard.
Flash.
Wait for it to be found.
Smile.
The next time someone picks you up in their car - say a friend or family member - climb in the back, right-hand seat, leaving the front passenger seat empty. With a straight face, tell 'em where to. It's a little game I call "Chauffeur." Fun.
Write the letters "B" and "R" on a one-dollar bill. Tuck your boner anywhere you please. Pull it out when least expected for maximum effect.
For this one, you need to be in the back of a car.
And you can't be the only one there.
first, let your body go limp (it helps to imagine you've actually got no bones).
Next, undo you're seatbelt.
Now play Jello.
The fun starts midway through the first turn one.
On a hot day, few things beat "stinky ice cream":
While eating with a friend, ask if their's smells funny too.
When they go in for a whiff, give the old elbow a little bump.
Not too hard, just enough to powder their nose.
