If you love Kaufman like I do, this book is going to make you happy. Per Amazon: “Famous for his role as Latka Gravas on television’s Taxi and for his appearances on Saturday Night Live and his own variety show, the legendary eccentric performer Andy Kaufman provoked a national outrage in 1977 by taunting the women of America and challenging them to wrestle him live on television. Taking on an aggressive and ridiculous personality based upon the characters invented by professional wrestlers, he offered a $1,000 reward to any woman who could pin him. Thousands of fired-up females (and a few males) responded to the call, and Kaufman received a torrent of impassioned challenges, hate mail, and love letters from would-be wrestling contenders. These fascinating and sometimes bizarre handwritten letters, photographs, and illustrations from would-be contenders are here assembled into an astonishing Rorschach of the late ‘70s liberated female psyche.” It doesn’t come out for a few days yet, but get your pre-order on now.
Winning today’s coveted ‘how fun is that’ award is Jennifer Fisher and Christian Cerrito with their Red Arrow Project. Giant red arrow flags were attached to weather balloons and floated off to wander the winds, drawing attention to whatever they happened to point at and encouraging people to reexamine their surroundings. More pictures, info, and links after the jump.

If you are like me, it takes a fun illustration to really get me to learn something. Part of the beauty of this site is the wonderful simplicity of this thing. Finally I can actually count on learning something every day.

WHAT: “8 Random Slides. 1 Hell of a good time.” It’s only our second outing, but it’s gearing up to be a good one. Here’s how it works: ou have to deliver a PowerPoint presentation about an unfamiliar topic, with slides you’ve never seen, to an audience eager to heckle and laugh at you. If you’re in your underwear, you’re having a nightmare. If you’re clothed, it’s PowerPoint Improv. Unlimited laughs for everyone who comes and a prize for anyone brave enough to grab the mic. You must RSVP to jakehimself@giantminiature.com if you want to get up, for everyone else, simply join the facebook page. NOTE: It’s a free-for-all, but there is a one drink minimum at the bar. It’s also where Jake and I met. See you there!

This might be the best bat costume ever. Granted, it’s all about hanging around in the right places (rimshot please). Well done as always Remy.

Do you tweet? Ever wonder when you’ll hit a million followers, or how you compare to the pope, or where on the globe your followers are located? Twittas has the answers. Click around and all is revealed. As Jake would say, ‘How fun is that?’ And now for the dirty…
Tweeagle is like the word of the day, only they’re dirty. Today’s word is “twatwaffle.” See people use it in a sentence, then jump in on the action. As Jake would say (again), ‘How fun is that?’
You are a mouse-controlled box who must collect all of the coins to get the next level. Here’s where things get tricky though: The more coins you get, the bigger you grow. See, it’s a thinking-man’s game. And a fun one. Click the picture to get the game below.
This is a blast from the past and one of my favorite inventions on the MoHDI site. I like inventing stuff you know. Read the original post HERE if you must… or just read about it below.
A long time ago I had a wonderful idea for a piece of playground equipment, an Endless Slide! Despite not being able to find the original pages of notes and drawings on the idea I drew a rough spec so you can visualize such a fun piece of equipment. Obviously this drawing is not to scale but you can get the idea. By having a longer rotating slide unit more kids could enjoy this slide at the same time.
I’ve found that cats generally don’t laugh at videos of humans… In fact, cats don’t seem to laugh much at all. This collection of cat videos is sure to make most humans smile and perhaps even a few dogs might get a chuckle out of these…
Thanks for the crazy cat clips Kristina!
Leave a comment with a link if you would like to share some of your favorite animal videos. Bonus points if the video contains two llamas in a car.
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.
