Somewhere right around the intersection of jiggly, fun, amazing, and gross, you’ll find this, some of the top entries from this weekend’s Gowanus Studio Space Jello Mold Competition. Top honors and $500 went to the Jello jewels at the top. Ready for more gems? Check the complete set after the jump.

Ever wonder what it feels like to have your mind explode? Wonder no more thanks to randomly generated match puzzles. My mom used to set these up for me at dinner when I was young. I don’t think I’ve ever solved one. Here’s hoping you can do better. Click the pic to get the game.
1 Week ago I asked for help naming the newest member of the Zoomdoggle family (my giant, handsome, MALE – sorry that I left that bit out the first time – puppy). Over 90 comments later, we’re still drawing a blank. Not that there weren’t loads of good ideas in there, there were, but after a week spent picking a favorite in the morning with which to call the pup for the rest of the day, nothing quite stuck.
It’s time to end the indignation (and win a little cash).
Ben Kaufman, founder of Name This, an online community that helps people, well, you know, has waved the entry fee, generously allowing me to post the dog for naming free of change. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t cash prizes for whoever puts in the name that gets the most votes. Top rated wins almost $30. Second place is just shy of $20. So hop over, suggest a name, or re-input the one you already plugged in here and make some magic. I haven’t confirmed it yet, but this just might be the first dog named by Internet! How fun is that?
NOTE: He’s probably not the first dog named by the Internet, but I’m enjoying the process so what the hell…

Word on the street is that while on tour, and after he’s set up The Jonas Brothers’ onstage video system, Steve here has a habit of plugging into stadiums video systems and cranking-up the Xbox. Above is the 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium. And yup, I do believe that’s Gears Of War he’s playing. How fun is that?

“Got laid off?” Asks newly unemployed graphic designer Irina Blok, “Not a problem! Who wants to spend days pouring over job listings? It’s time to have fun.” Couldn’t agree more. And what better way to say it than with a pin. Irina’s collection of will set you back $2 each. Pair it off with a custom resume shirt so potential employers can see exactly what you bring to the table if and when you tear open your button-down Super Man-style mid interview. For $50 Irina will hand make the shit for you. Under the circumstances though, I’m sure no one would be mad if you simply made your own.
Pretty sure it has something to do with the dander in the air…
Ever wondered what the Internet is thinking about something? Now there’s a new tool that claims to do just that by taking the world wide web’s temp (i.e. doing a search of some kind), then boiling down all of the comments, posts and pages it finds to just three simple feelings (positive, negative, or indifferent). Only, I’m not so sure it works. According to this thing, the web is 76% positive on Iran. It also says it’s 66% pro Hitler. And 89% in favor of my penis. So is it broken, or is the web just was more cheery today than ever before? Only one way to know: Try to make the system return a negative result and post your findings below.

WHEN: June 27th
WHERE: Nathan’s Famous flagship restaurant in Coney Island
WHAT: You know the annual July 4th hot dog eating contest at Nathan’s (of course you do, the “mustard yellow belt”, “reversals of fortune”, Eater X, Joey Chestnut, King Kobayashi), well someone’s got to cheer them on (in addition to the mega-crowd obviously), entertain the crowd (in addition to Crazy Legs Conti) and count the dogs (in addition to ESPN’s cameras). That’s where the Bunnettes come in. This year, to make sure the ladies are up to task, Nathans is running a Bunnette Bootcamp (read: Tryout). Veteran Bunnette and long-time friend Laura Leu will lead the would-be eating contest boosters through a grueling set of challenges to determine the three candidates best suited to the job. Those Bunnettes who are chosen to be on stage on the Fourth of July will appear before tens of thousands of fans, and millions of television and ESPN viewers, in the traditional Nathan’s Famous cheerleader outfit (not shown above). How fun is that? Think you’ve got what it takes? Email info@ifoce.com for more info.
Sometimes getting the man to the box means multiplying the man. Be warned, this one is hard to put down. Big time. Click the pic to get the game.
In the mood for some Hall and Oats? Me too! Best Of Hall and Oats has all the good stuff, plus a bit of a surprise if you click the stache. I’m told there are more hidden gems, but my easily side-tracked mind got too hung-up on “Rich Girl” to hunt.

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.
