Toss the cards into the hat. It’s a game so simple, you could play while, er, I dunno, you’re on a conference call (like I am)… but so enjoyable you might not stop even after everyone’s hung up (I’ll have to get back to you on that one). Click the pic to get the game.
A business show with bedside manner? Something tells me even a market crash is better received in Brazil.
Jake Bronstein began a whisper chain that successfully passed through 59 people, a new world record. With his girlfriend Kristina Hoge completely unaware of the plan, Bronstein sent the message “Kristina, will you marry me?” around a roomful of strangers. After the proposal passed through 59 people, a random stranger whispered the message in the ear of a completely shocked Hoge. She accepted onstage in front of a jubilant, tearful crowd. No wedding date has been set.
Bronstein set the record on July 14, 2009 at a World Record Appreciation Society event in New York City. Dan Rollman and Corey Henderson were present to witness the feat.
EDITOR’S NOTE: I haven’t been able to watch the footage yet…
WHERE: The Village Pourhouse, 64 Third Avenue at 11th St. NYC
WHEN: July 23rd, 7PM
WHAT: A stuff your face, winner takes all, mini wiener (in blanket) chow-down. It’s $10 to enter. You have 10 minutes to eat. Winner walks with a free $200 bar tab. How fun is that?
LINK: Going. Thanks to Mike G for sending it in.
Yeah, digital cameras stole some of the joy (people tend to know what you’ve done sooner than later), but there’s no question that photobombing – the act of jumping into the background of someone else’s shots – is still just fun. There are tons of sites featuring fine photobombing fiascoes, but none has brought quite as many instant smiles than This Is Photobomb. Come on, someone give that dog a biscuit, that photo is amazing. And there’s butt-loads more after the jump…

Brace yourself, this is big. And the amount you’re likely to get done beyond this today is, well, small. Tetris Friends 6P is Tetris, played against 5 other people people (you’re the 6th P). Every time you clear two lines at once, you can send them to one of your opponents. It sounds like a subtle variation, sure, but it changes everything. Click the pic to get the game (there’s no embed, so were jumping you to Tetris Friends, but no single jump could be more worth the time sucking effort. Trust that).

No really though, anyone know Morse Code? I’d bet dollars to doughnuts the words “furry ass” are somewhere in his message…
WHERE: Islais Creek Promenade, 1700 Indiana St, San Francisco
WHEN: Saturday, July 25th, 1PM – Midnight
WHAT: “The Superhero Street Fair lands in San Francisco on Saturday, July 25 to honor extraordinary people in our community and to celebrate the “superhero†within all of us… The fair will host an amazing array of music and art from some of the Bay Area’s most talented and creative superheroes.” Even just reading about it makes me feel good. NOTE: Suggested donation: $10 in Super Couture (read: if you brought a cape, tights, etc.)… $20 Clark Kent. How fun is that? Someone should organize one of these for the right coast as well.

Looking for a funner way to get in shape than standing in front of a of a mirror, pumping over-priced iron along-side Manhattan’s fittest (see also: Manhattan’s last remaining spandex-lovers)? Brace yourself, Brooklyn’s first indoor climbing club, an gargantuan 18,000 square foot climbatorium rigged up with Brooklyn Bridge-like archways separating faux cliff faces and cinderblocks tagged by local graff crews, is about to open. Climbing costs just $20/day – provided you bring your own gear – or $30/day with provided gear and basic instruction. How fun is that? Complete details (and loads more pictures) after the jump.

I’m surprised more people don’t do this on Fox. WK of course is a partner in a top secret Zoomdoggle project that, as luck would have it, could use a little luck this week. Somebody cross something.

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.
