So, I was thinking we should have a thread where we could post funny, strange, bizarre, or cute things we find online... basically just things you think are interesting or even news worthy that'll (hopefully) strike up conversation and commentary (sometimes serious, mostly humorous).

I'll go first: For Someone Special
Be sure to check out all their other products, too... you won't be disappointed!
Hmmm, what's my 'one thing' gonna be for today....? I'm definitely buying some of those notepads for Christmas gifts this year!
Found this on StumbleUpon: How you bathe a cat:
No, I am not your good kitty!
I'm gonna sit here until you get the towel... now go!
No, no, no, no! Damn it all... I said NO!!
For more funny pics... click on the picture index
Now, I'm a foodie, but my stomach turned a little when I read the ingredients in this cupcake. But I gotta give it to her for her creativity and presentation!I can totally get with this one though!
Meatloaf singles frosted with colored mashed potatoes :)
Yummy...cute...and funny :)
Okay, last one for today (because I SERIOUSLY need to finish my project before tomorrow): In case you've been worrying about your halitosis lately or you just want to freshen your breath, I've found the perfect product for you...
EDIT: New, even better, cure for your halitosis! (because the last link was broken :)
...just ewww!
OMG those cats are hilarious!! I'm at work and I laughed so hard my coworkers were looking at me! hahahaha I love it!
That middle picture is just so funny! :D

It may of just been my computer, but when I clicked on "this one" my computer got spammed, I had to shut it down and reboot. So be careful opening it. :)
Hmm...I don't know why...it's just a WordPress blog called Bake Me More... I rechecked it and mine was good, but yeah, don't click on it if your worried. You won't be missing much... it's just her April Fool's dinner where she made a "dinner" that was actually sweet, and a cupcake for dessert that was actually dinner: (see message 8)*I even checked the link with WOT (Firefox's Web of Trust) and it said it was trustworthy...so I don't know...I'm sorry if it was my fault though, Kimberly.
Edit: I just took the link off to be on the safe side...

Ok, I got this in an email. I thought it was pretty funny.
PONDERISMS:
I sed to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
Life is sexually transmitted.
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"
Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt.
Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?
If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
LMAO! esp. for these ones: I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

So true!
Quotes from last years Leaving Cert English exam(a big exam we have to do in our final year of secondary school.)
His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer
The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
McMurphy fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a paper bag filled with vegetable soup.
He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.
The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease
Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Ballina at 6:36 pm travelling at 55 mph, the other from Claremorris 4:19pm at a speed of 35 mph.
The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the full stop after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.
John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
The thunder was ominous sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.
Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut.
Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
The plan was simple, like my brother Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for while.
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame.Maybe from stepping on a landmine or something.
Her artistic sense was exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" ad.
She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
It came down the stairs looking very much like something no-one had ever seen before.
The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a lamppost.
The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free cashpoint.
It was a working class tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with their power tools.
He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a dustcart reversing.
She was as easy as the Independent crossword.
She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature British beef.
Her voice had that tense, grating quality, like a first-generation thermal paper fax machine that needed a band tightened.
It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.
Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

Wow, are these real?? They're so bad, they're actually really funny. What kind of exam was this? Please explain... This made me think of one of the best gr reviews (for a very popular book) that apparently had equally bad metaphors (they are metaphors, right? English majors help me out because for some reason I'm blanking...and I'm too tired and lazy right now to look it up):
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/....
I've never read the book, but I think even if you have and liked it, or you want to, you'll probably still think her review, and the comments that followed, are pretty funny. (some of the comments are missing, but you'll still get the idea)
Thanks, Janet!
I liked that one too, Tami!
Linda: I know, my brother and I were busting up when we saw them too!! And I only posted 3 of maybe 10 or more pics. The middle pic was our favorite, too! :)
"He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree." ...wow.
Haha I recently finished reading The Lovely Bones and read this review. It is hilarious, although I don't remember any of the metaphors actually being in the book. I'm pretty sure if I was paying any attention at all, I also would have cringed at "she buttered the toast with her tears" or whatever it was that she wrote, but I guess I don't read with the eyes of an English major.
Exactly! Thank goodness I don't either, because I like to actually enjoy what I'm reading without having to dissect it. And I'm pretty sure that would take all the enjoyment out of it for me....Did you like the book? My favorite cringe-worthy metaphor, besides the pulsing, dilating pupils that were behaving like small, ferocious olives, of course, was:
Her heart, like a recipe, was reduced.
Pretty funny stuff.
Haha that is so bad! I actually did like the book, although if someone had pointed out the God-awful metaphors to me before I read it, I'd probably have enjoyed it less. I'm the kind of reader that just goes with the flow. I probably just skimmed past all the terrible metaphors in favor of the general storyline.

picktheperp.com
It was like one of those "wtf??" moments. lol it's slightly funny.
Whoa, Jamie... that site was freaky and REALLY HARD! lol I was even trying to go about it in a somewhat scientific way and I still sucked! It just proves that it isn't really possible to judge based on outer appearances alone...
Mod
Oh man... that would be really interesting to hear how they do! I'm pretty sure I only got to 25 before I quit. I started getting too freaked out... but I think it was the mix of having to read what the act was, while looking at the messed up mugshots.
Mod
ooh that would be interesting!!
I already posted about this in another thread, but I figured this was the proper place to post it. http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com
Hilarious!
Mod
OH. MY. GOD. Kelsey, that is AWESOME!!
maybe he shoulda been more specific...
adds tim: "admittedly, i wasn’t the cleanest tenant — but what 20-year-old college kid living alone in a studio apartment is? the really sad thing was that i had cleaned my apartment before this note — she should have seen the place before!”
This one's pretty awesome too:

But the hands-down all-time best are these two:

I was laughing so hard for the last one, I was crying! It took me a few minutes to finish because I couldn't read it through my tears!!

I was actually going to post this until I saw you did! My mom sent me this in an email last year haha.
Mod
Haha I love witty passive aggressive notes. They make my day.
I think it's funny that we're talking about how much we love them here and how much we hate them in the "I AM SO PISSED" thread lol.
Mod
Haha, well it's different when it's happening to you. A couple years ago during our sophomore year in college, my good friend/roommate and I put up an Obama poster on our dorm room door (we were very early supporters. Haha.) Anyway, the next day, there was derogatory stuff written all over it, so we put up a very passive aggressive note about it. I wish I could remember what we wrote, but I just remember it being hilarious. I think nowadays, I'd rather confront the perpetrator about it, but at the time, we had no idea who did it.
Mandee, the Leaving Cert. English exam is an exam we have to do in our final year of secondary school (thats high-school in the USA, right?). I think they should get an A for originality anyways!
This website always gives me a laugh:

Oh those were peoples answers?! That is really funny!
This is really strange or anything but just really cool! My professor showed it to us!In 2007, AARP sponsored a 'U @ 50' contest for teens. This entry won and is just now getting widespread play on U-Tube. Don't forget to notice how the message changes when reversed, using the same words each way. Very creative.

Janet, THAT WAS AMAZING!! As she was reading it the first time I thought she was talking about the Boomer generation, esp. because it was for the AARP, but when she changed it the message totally hit me right in the gut... she's talking about us... RIGHT NOW. Wow. Thank you for sharing that! I feel so lucky to live in a time when we, as a society, are choosing to correct our priorities.

I fail at that game. But I do wonder why some of them are smiling in their mugshots? :P
Mod
Hahaha that is definitely strange... I can't decide if that makes them more creepy looking, or look less like a criminal. So, I went back and checked and for the most part I think it makes them look better. I mean, it's a mugshot... those are already creepy, so why not at least try to make it a little less... maybe? :/ ... I don't know...
Mod
I love when you see celeb mugshots and they try to act all sexy or cool in them. It's like really..you are in jail you MORON! and you look like CRAP because you are 5 times over the legal limit and taking illegal drugs!
Mod
Gary Bussey has the scariest mugshot ever! Besides that Michael Jackson one.I always told people I would smile if I got a mugshot. haha. I can't be in front of a camera and not smile. I kept getting yelled at by the photographer when I got my passport photo taken (and I look sooo mad in it b/c you can't smile at all so I look like I'm frowning)
