Dear NY Post readers, thanks for coming. Some things to know, there’s actually 216 balls in a set (not 21), I’ve sold $200,000 worth but not 200,000 units (that would be a few million dollars in sales), and they’re made by Zoomdoggle, but sold at www.GetBuckyBalls.com.

Zach Bliss is a man on a mission: A different job every work day (that’s Monday to Friday, less holidays) for a year. He’s been a baker, a dog walker, a promoter for a bowling alley, an emcee at a Jello wrestling event (I was actually there, at Gama on St Marks), the list is endless. Sadly not every post gets a video (did I mention I was at the Gama Jello wrestling night… nothing like watching pretty girls go toe-to-to with an aging restaurateur – sadly Zach’s post is video-free on that one), but they’re all unquestionably fun to read. It might be my new favorite blog. Check it out.

WHEN: Tonight, 8PM
WHERE: New York’s own Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library in midtown Manhattan, between 40th and 42nd Streets & Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
WHAT: Free movies on a giant screen all summer long (well, every Monday anyway). the fun kicks off tonight with Robert Redford and Paul Newman in The Sting, a flick about a young punk seeking revenge for his murdered partner by teaming up with master con man to win a fortune from a criminal banker. Get there early. Bring a blanket. Good times. The full season’s schedule after the jump…

Remember Sonya the Slow Loris? She’s back.
Here’s the logic: Wouldn’t it be fun to have a symphony of laughter every time you say something witty? Now you can. Hahahaha is a spectrum of different laughs, each controlled by a different letter on the keyboard. More guffaw and less tee-hee? Eddy Murphy throat laughs garnished with mild chuckles? Whatever you’re into. Me, I just like pounding on the keys and seeing what happens. Even the lamest puns become smile-worthy with the right sound-track behind them.
Long story short, this weekend was my birthday and I got two pretty awesome gifts. The first is a fish-eye lens. If you’re a Zoomdoggle regular, odds are you’re going to see a lot of very wide-angle and rounded photos in the days ahead. The second is a dog. A giant puppy. A giant nameless puppy. And that’s where you come in. Help me name the dog. Make a suggestion or two in the comments below and the winner gets, well, naming rights. How fun is that?
Like Plummet? This is pretty much that, but rolly-er. And multiplayer (on the one screen) if you’re into that. Click the pic to get the game. Post high-scores below (so far my best is 22566).

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. If your idea of fun is sorting the one from the other (see also: bargain hunting, collecting stuff, entertaining older-women friends) then this one’s for you. The Yard Sale Treasure Map is an interactive map of, well, yard sales. It looks like this weekend Brooklyn and the surrounding areas are jumping off. Have a look at your neck of the woods, mouse over the flags for more details, then giddy-up and go.
NOTE: My mom sent me this. Really. How fun is that?

That’s fun. Yup. URLesque has the complete list after the jump.

WHERE: Times Square (W 47th & Broadway). You can’t miss it. Go to Times Square and you’re there!
WHEN: Today, Friday, June 12th 2009 @ 6:15pm
WHAT: A convergence of over 2000 people wielding bubble guns just for the fun of it. Want in on the action? Join the facebook group, then bring bubble toys, bubble generators, bubble solution, and plenty of AA batteries. Loosely based on the Dr. Seuss Classic The Butter Battle Book. We will meet in Times Square, fill our weapons and pull the trigger! After party to follow in Brooklyn.

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.
