Movie Hangman

Start typing letters to guess the movie title. You’ve got three takes (ie wrong letter choices) to get it right. Win and you get to see the movie poster. Lose and, well, play again.

Yogesh’s Daily Doggle 11

Have you ever seen Speech able picture photo. Confused… Yes, I was having the same thinking! “Speech able is a free photo service that lets you easily upload and add speech bubbles to your photos and share them with friends.” What a great service. I loved sharing my best clicked photograph and funny pictures of mine just leaving the comment on it through this Speech able Service all over the space.
Now the question is that; ‘how many words are your pictures worth?’ I know your answer would be ‘worthless’ But still you will love to display the worthless picture explaining in short words.

This doggle brought to you by Yogesh, my Indian virtual personal assistant. On a side note, ladies seem to find this guy irristable. Four emails in the past 24-hours hinting at dates. You’ll be happy to know that not I’m forwarding each and every one on to it’s intended recipient…

Honorary Doggler: Andy Uprock

There’s so much good stuff you can do with cups.

You can pick your nose.

You can stack dice.

You can make art.

Now it’s going to the streets. The brainchild of Andy Uprock, cup graffiti, er “cuprocking” takes a second to learn, a lifetime to master, and walks that brilliant gray area of legality so many of us love to play in.

Still on the fense? The site’s got an interactive widget where you can sort out your designs.

All of Andy’s installations are recycled after he’s done with them. I suggest you do the same.

How Many Goats Are You Worth?

Time to calculate your dowry the easy way. Some of the questions asked in this simply quiz are harder than others, but it’s well worth the effort to know your actual Blue Book value. Me? I’m worth six goats. Not quite a herd, but enough to get you started.

On a side note, having taken the quiz three times (I was desperate to know how the deserted island question related to my overall goat worth) I’m starting to wonder if it’s not all just a clever advertisement for something called CattleMax. I’ve gotta ask though; is there really that much cross over between mindless quiz takers and thems in need of “cattle management software”? Oh well. Mine is not to question… mine is just to smile. Six goats they say; that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Guess the 100 Most Common Words

See how many you can guess is 5 minutes.

I only got 18… but, contrary to what some people would say, I’m not much of a “common words” guy.

Call Telemegaphone

What can I say? It’s a very Scandinavian day round these parts.

Telemegaphone Dale stands seven meters tall on top of the Bergskletten mountain overlooking the idyllic Dalsfjord in Western Norway. Dial the number above (You’ll need to add 011 for an international line) and the sound of your voice is projected out across the fjord, into the valley the village of Dale below. What’s that, it didn’t pick up? Turns out the system is wind powered. If there’s not enough of a breeze, well, you know. I checked the Weather Channel though, and today should be perfect conditions for a call. So dial ‘em up. Shout something. Yodel if you like. It’s a good time all around…

But while Telemegaphone Dale runs on wind, Zoomdoggle runs on people; an extra big thank-you to Aaron Newcomb for sending this in.

Play Pong

Something about watching that snake game in the dorm window thing, made me long for the classics. I’ve been toying with this one for the last 20 minutes. Some of the oldies truly are goodies.

If it ain’t broke… why fix it.

Mirror Maker

Long story short, Symmetry Explorer grabs photos from Flickr on any subject you like, then presents them as pairs of mirrored halves.

This is what it came up with for “fun.”

Not bad, but surely there is better to be had, something more fun even than fun. We did our best and, well, check it out for yourself…

Honorary Doggler: Matthew Inman

That’s right, the same brilliantly mind that brought you Zombie Harmony and 9 Reasons Not To Date A Tyranosaurus Rex is back with yet another…

You’re probably thinking, ‘Aren’t these all just marketing for some lame-brain dating site?’ Maybe, but who cares. If all marketing was this fun you’d stay tuned through the breaks and enjoy the show. Nothing wrong with that.
