this thread is great! I have some good sites bookmarked that I'll have to find for you all!
Thanks Jessica! I feel bad; I haven't had time to spend on gr right now because I'm so close to the end of the semester, so I've definitely been neglecting this thread. But everyone else has been awesome about posting great stuff! Thanks guys. I have more finds to add too.... but right now I'm about to pass out so I'm going to bed....Zzzzzzz :)
This is a great video that my brother told me about of a freaking amazing guy named Danny MacAskill. For those of you that are trials fans, I'm sure you've already heard of him, but for those that haven't ....oh man are you in for a treat! Plus for whoever picked the soundtrack for this video: BRILLIANT. It's a little long, but it's totally worth it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19zFl...

Celeb Look-alikes. Some of them really do have an uncanny resemblance but others I was just laughing at wondering what they were thinking.
That being said..has anyone ever told you that you looked like a celeb?
I don't get it much. But twice I was told that I looked like Rory from Gilmore Girls & once I was told I looked like Mischa Barton.. neither of which I think I resemble at all. lol.
I had a meeting with one of my fav profs one day and he told me I looked like Sandra Bullock. It was random haha. And I don't look like her at all. He had complimented my hair which I had straightened and worn down that day (I rarely have time in the morning to do it but I think it looks soo much better when I do) so I think it was the hair that made him think that. And now every time he sees me with my hair down he's like "... with you Sandra Bullock hair" haha.That's the closest I've gotten.. by I've got something creepier... TWICE I've been told (by totally different people who don't know each other) that they've seen someone who looks exactly like me... so much so that they had to do double takes. Once was from friends who were at a tennis competition out of town and they both said they thought it was me (playing for a totally different university. haha!) And then the other time I can't remember who it was... but it was just random and not in the same town. I really want to meet this person or these people b/c I don't think I look like anyone!
Rory and Sandra Bullock are pretty so that's cool that they said you guys look like them :)Jamie, I was wondering what most of those people were thinking too! Mmm hmm, suuuure you look like her....
Lynn, that happens to me ALL THE TIME. Seriously, more times than I can remember. I used to work at a winery that people from all over the country, and internationally, visited and at least once a month or so someone would come in asking if I had a sister that lived in (fill in the blank) and when I would say no they would tell me that I had a twin there. It never really bothered me, though, because they were usually very complimentary. The funny thing is that when I was growing up my mom always used to tell me how unique I was! :P
So this was pretty much WTF and then I ended up loving it. http://uploads.ungrounded.net/221000/...
I hope other people like it as well.
Adorable!! Thanks, Jacqueline! Here's some stills...

Oh..Whoops! Where'd that last one come from??
haha! Yeah, that is definitely not a cute thing falling asleep, lol!
Ha! That's what I'm sayin'... but that's exactly what popped up in my image search! o.O wth? :)
It was probably the greatest part of your post. I laughed. :)
Haha :) thanks! I laughed when I saw it too :)

omg this guy makes me laugh so hard!! His laugh is hilarious. It doesn't get funny until like 1:20ish. I was literally ready to pee my pants at 2am watching it.
Aww... he's so adorable and hilarious with his funny little laugh! Watching the guy to the right kept cracking me up too..

One of my coworkers sent me this. heheRandom Thoughts of the Day:
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
There is a great need for sarcasm font.
I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
The other night I hit a new low at an open bar. I had already hopped on highway blackout when, inevitably I had to find a bathroom. Eventually I
decided it was probably on the other side of the bar so I tried to walk over there, but ran into a guy coming the other way. We played that, Both go left, Both go right game to no avail, so I finally put out my hand to guide myself past and that's is when I realized, yup, that's a mirror I just tried to walk through. And the guy on the other side is me. Even cats can re cognize their own image.
How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
Was learning cursive really necessary?
Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent some moron from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I
had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse) ..ummm...Goonies"
What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
Bad decisions make good stories
Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don't win, they are executed.
I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dang it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat pig before
dinner.
Hahahaha! That was great. I especially like the need for sarcasm text, the thing about not knowing what to say for a letter "as in" (that happens to me ALL THE TIME), and clicking on a link to a story only to find a video. I HATE that.

Take a look at this cool website! HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam.. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands .
Take a look at HEMA's product page (catalog) - just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. DON'T click on any of the items in the picture; just wait.
This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer, who has too much time on his hands.

This completely made my entire week. I don't know if a youtube video has ever made me feel so happy. I even get a little teary eyed every time I watch it. It's beautiful. You should all watch it right away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGK84P...
