Wake Up Your Cat

Something awful’s got a fun one going on. Here’s how it works:

1. Got a cat? Go wake ‘em up. Right now. They’d do it to you.

2. The second you got ‘em up, take a picture. Yeah, bed-head and all. The more bewildered the better.

3. Post that puppy.

They’ve got some good ones too. How fun is that?

Go Girl

Take it from a pro, just about nothing on Earth is as fun as peeing standing up (Note: Peeing in the snow, seeing how far you can pee, trying to fill the whole toilet with bubbles, all of that is included under the same heading). At last, a dignified—kinda—way for the fairer sex to get in on the action. A 3 pack is $11.99. Beyond that, you’ll have to check the site for details.

NOTE: The last time I tried revolutionary bathroom technology myself, things didn’t work out so well.

I <3 NYC



Last night I cut out a little heart on a piece of paper and put it over my lens.

It turns lights into hearts! How cute is that?

Slicer By Ice Meister

What-what, an all-season sled that works on just about any surface by baking the ice right into the bottom? How fun is that?

Ascii Art Generator

Here’s how this works, go to the Ascii Generator, type in, well, anything, tinker with the settings and—boom—instant ascii art. Here’s where it get’s fun though. If you’re so inclined, use the work you’ve just created as a map, and type the thing by hand into emails and IMs, impressing friends and foes alike with your mastery of time and space (text too). How fun is that?

Honorary Doggler: Ely Kim

100 days, 100 songs, 100 dances in 100 locations. How awesome is that? And always with a satisified grin. I’m off for dance number one day. Get up and feel the funshine.

Colour My Heart

Jump around and use the mouse to find hidden objects and switches as you try to find your emotions in a world without color. It’s a cute one. Click the pic to get the game.

Fastest Consumption Of A 24-Ounce Bottle Of Aunt Jemima Syrup


Earning a hallowed spot in the world of competitive eating, Jake Bronstein sets a universal record by downing an entire 24-ounce bottle of Aunt Jemima Original Syrup in 2 minutes, 35 seconds.

Bronstein chose the category in homage to Super Troopers, a film that includes a legendary sryup chugging scene. He set the record on February 11, 2009 at a World Record Appreciation Society held at Pianos, a New York City bar. Corey Henderson and Marc Covitz were on hand to document and time the record.

BONUS: Jake has offered $1 (that’s right, one US dollar) to the first person who attempts to beat this record. Also, to see the aftermath, click here.

Live In a Cave (eBay alert)

If you’re anything like me, you dream of being a superhero. It all starts with the house. Anyway, here’s the story:
Couple buys cave on eBay.
Couple has cave rezoned for living.
Couple builds house… in cave.
Couple puts house/cave/lair back on ebay.
17,000 sq feet. 3 bedrooms. 2 baths. Oh, and “The back chamber still has the stage where Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, Ike and Tina Turner, the MC5 and many other bands performed.”
How fun is that?
