Today is the kind of rainy day I like. It's rainy steadily, with heavy downpours and lightning every once in a while. It's a great day to read, on a page or a screen, and listen to music, or just listen for the next downpour. You can also, of course, burn some down time on the net.
Here's another list of stuff I've seen in the past week or so.
First, some interesting blogs to read:
The daily coupon blog. Get Coupons Here.
Archaeologists blog, too.
Steve Mc has a daily read that is heavily influenced by his religion.
The Number One Songs in Heaven is not.
You can take quizzes or tests:
What classic movie are you?
How much do you love money?
Are you a genius?
What breed of puppy are you? It says I'm a chow, which sucks, because I hate chows.
You can watch amazing or amusing videos:
Watch a monkey completely mess with a couple of little tigers.
Simon says what we all think: Is this dude a Matthew or a Martha?
This video shows why it is not a good thing to have a stupid mouse as your friend.
Boing Boing found these two 30-minute Disneyland videos from 1956. Part one and part two. They are very large files, and Boing Boing traffic might take them down soon, so hurry.
You can play games:
Shoot the Cliche. I love to shoot cliches.
The Net Game.
Beer Dude 2 is worth a few minutes.
There are some games you just can't win. This is one.
You can do odd things:
Do a gizoogle search for me, or whatever.
Kill everyone.
Pop packing bubbles. Don't tell you don't love that.
Make Ashlee Simpson dance like a fool.
You can see strange or interesting stuff:
If you did that gizoogle search, you fonddizzled my sizzle.
See Mrs. Federline's thumbnail that has nipple watchers all excited about nothing.
Check out women who should have spent the extra $2,000 on a licensed doctor for their boob jobs. (Very NSFW)
In stark contrast, check out the Indian chick that you've never heard of, but who some say is the most beautiful woman in the world.
You can learn something new:
Join the vacation rights movement.
Google has joined the online free mapping world.
Learn how the midway barkers separate you from your money.
If we were aliens, naming the first humans, we might have called people Ethiopian Hair-Headed Monkeys.
You can buy strange or wonderful things:
You can now own a real Disneyland skyride gondola.
The Totally Insane Card Game has its own website.
Your kids need these Book of Mormon action figures.
A "drive thru gentleman's club" called "Climax."
Some idiot with a big sniffer offered to run ads on his nose for $7,000. Even GoldenPalace.com wasn't interested.
You can sit and wonder what these people were thinking:
I'm not sure what they are trying to do with this Tsunami lawsuit site.
A 23-year-old nanny gave her 4-year-old babysittee a hands on sex education class.
That's right, mister, said the young man. I want my labia pierced.
This eBay listing isn't really trying to sell stuff. It's trying to talk you out of buying stuff. Brilliant!
You can puzzle over why these twins were not raised together:
ESPN commentator Kirk Herbstreit and my former brother in law.
Locked-out Ottawa Senator Daniel Alfredsson and actor Seth Green.
Skater turned gangster turned boxer Tonya Harding and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
Melissa Ethridge and Demi Moore and that Pope-hating bitch that used to sing.
You can check out a place far, far away via web cam:
The kelp beds in Monterey. I've posted this one before, but I dig it.
Royal Caribbean cruise ship Voyager of the Seas.
Celebrity Cruises ship the Century. This one is better, because it is taken from the bridge.
Sadly, the former Half Dome Cam is gone. But you can still see Half Dome from the top of Sentinel Dome or the top of Turtleback Dome.
You check out some weird news photos:
Is it just me, or are the two-headed babies getting uglier every year?
Shiites bleed themselves nearly dry in religious rites.
The smoldering inferno.
The fat-nekked-people-sit-next-to-you-to-kill-your-appetite diet is catching on in New York.
Indian dudes getting whacked in the chest with sledgehammers to prove something or other.
Finally, you can read a good bullshit story:
Veggie Tales is teaching your little Christian kids to fellate.
Image of Bush shows up in Giuliani's prostate exam images.
Clinton's fainting spell caused by tight thong.
Ben & Jerry's to honor Michael Moore with "Waffle Truth" flavored ice cream.
It all sounds like bullshit, but if someone took the time to write it down, it has to be true, right?
melissa ethridge is undergoing chemtherapy for breast cancer.
