Failed Robot Humor

December 8, 2007

My name is RT-8500 and I will be here all millennium. Not that you will live that long. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. I am just kidding—although the facts I state are empirically true.

DEA agent shoots himself in the foot

April 14, 2006

While giving a demonstration on weapons saftey to a group of Florida schoolchildren, a DEA agent shoots himself in the foot with a pistol. The shocked class shouts “Put it down!” when he limps over to continue the demonstration with a semi-automatic rifle.
Footnote: the man’s career is ruined as he becomes the nation’s laughing [...]

Tombstone Epitaphs

October 1, 2005

We’re getting a jump on Halloween and putting some tombstomes out in front of the house for symbolic graves. Got some inspiration from True Tombstone Epitaphs but also added a few of our own such as one for Barney and "Frank N. Stein"
Har Har – the holidays are upon us!

Reshelving Project

August 19, 2005

Ooh, this looks like fun. Hack the bookstores!
3. Go to the bookstore and locate its copies of George Orwell’s 1984.
Unless the Ministry of Reshelving has already visited this bookstore,

June 22, 2005

Recently, the magazine has opened up the art of the caption to [...]

Romance Novel Cover Art Fun

June 7, 2005

Spotted on PC Magazine’s Backspace page. Mark Longmire pokes fun at romance novel cover art.
In other news, I took the trolley today to drop in on a talk given by John Battelle at a conference at the Fairmont Hotel up on top of Nob Hill. It’s about a 30 minute walk but I was in [...]

Contagious Media Showdown

June 2, 2005

There’s lots of slick sites here, all looking to catch that hook that will bring the fame and fortune (ok, well mostly fame). Maybe my standards are more base as the execution is totally crude (think of a circa-1988 Geocities website) but my personal favorite features a lanky masked man as an unlikely hero dancing [...]
