Play Tri Towers Solitaire

Clear the three peaks of cards to win a level. Other than that, it’s pretty much like regular solitaire. Click the pic to get the game. NOTE: We’re playing with a new kind of embed here at the doggle. Let us know what you think.

SUPERUSELESS SUPERPOWER: Laser Pointer Vision*

Your gaze isn’t strong enough to burn through anything, just strong enough to point things out. Makes prolonged eye contact particularly awkward and painful during romantic dinners and job interviews.

*This superuseless power comes to us from none other than Christian Lander, author of the blog and now book, Stuff White People Like. SWPL is one of our favs, so if you haven’t checked it out, do so right this minute.

Suprise Industries

Ready for something really cool? Don’t ask what… that’s part of the fun. “Surprise Industries sells surprise experiences in NYC. It could be anything from a fire eating class to repainting an elementary school, but you won’t know for sure till you get there. Do it alone, with a group of friends, or on a date… heck, maybe even a blind date if you’re feeling extra adventurous.” Here’s how it works, you pay $25, they call you when it’s all set up. Recently the Surprise team sent a group to my friend’s chocolatier workshop for a day of confection sculpting. What will they have you do? Only one way to know.

FUN VIDEO: Winks vs Hiccups

In a dog plagues with ticks (er, not the itchy kind), which will win out? Thanks to Marc Johnathan Ghafoori for sending me this way.

Play Spin n Match

Use your mouse to spin and match the bubbles on the left side to match the patterns on the right. It’s a good one. Really.

Puzzle Games

Honorary Dogglers: Googly Eye Cru

If you’ve been living in Brooklyn, you’ve been living with the Googly Eye Cru for some time… and smiling every time you walk past their handiwork. I didn’t really think to dig much deeper until it started making the rounds on the interwebs last week, but having found some of the members online (and found that one lives on my very block), I’m proud to call them friends… “its all fun and games ’til someone loses an eye.” How fun is that? I could’ve sworn there was a book too.

Youtube Dubber

Take the music from any one video on Youtube, and mash it to the visual of any other video. How fun is that? Click the picture above for Tay Zonday meets Beyonce, but I know there’re better colaborations to be had. Make one of your own and post the link (if you like) below.

SIDE NOTE: Combined, these two videos have +75 million views. Wowsers.

QUICK: What Do You Need? (Find out the fun way)

Ready to find out what you need? What you really need? Like on the deepest level possible…

Google knows all. Simply google your name, and the word NEEDS, all in quotes. Whatever comes up is, well, exactly what you need.

It would appear that I need:

-Money for a hooker.

-A woman video.

-A haircut.

-Surgery.

-Love and direction.

What do you need? Look it up, then post the answer in the comments section below. How fun is that?

Headhoods

This is so good it hurts. Really. Sweatshirts with pictures of heads, on the hoods. You could order straight from the source for $60… wait a few months until Urban Outfitters rips it off (and have no doubt, they will, I’ve seen it happen a million times)… or make you own. As for me, I think I’m going to get some iron-on transfer paper, and put my own head, on my own hood, in the very near future. How fun is that?

FUN VIDEO: Tic Tac Micha

Sure, it’s all one big Tic Tac ad, but the kid (Micha Albacow) is talented and, well, there’s nothing wrong with getting paid and having fun all at once. In addition to homeboy’s story (not sure how much I believe that bit), there’s also a Tic Tac themed Guitar Hero game.
