The Nom Nom Kitteh!

Now we know what it sounds like when a kitten makes a yummy sound.

Disneyland home movies from 1956

It's amazing to me that given the right situation and the passage of time, old home movies become priceless beacons - not only for family members, but for total strangers as well. Such is the case with these videos that were taken at Disneyland a year after the park opened.

People of Wal Mart

Pictures of people and things you can always and/or only find at Wal-Mart:

Lots and lots of mullets

Many variations on the theme of "large people in small clothes"

A guy whose denim jacket has a web address that leads to here (be forewarned - he means well)

A goat?

A very large woman doing the splits

An old man with breast implants!

In B Flat

Using 20 YouTube videos, each of music in the key of B Flat (or of spoken word fitting the mood of the mournful, droning sounds of other videos), a unique experience has been created. Although in initial premise, it is not unlike Thru-You, the randomness of the project adds an element of 'danger' that the well-though-out Thru-You doesn't have.
This is a fascinating musical collaboration between three parties: the organizers Darren Solomon and Science For Girls; the artists and performers who create the literal pieces on the site; and us the viewers. We initiate the videos playing. We are randomly creating our own unique experience on the site.
Here are a few of my favorite videos. Play them all simultaneously to get the idea. See the link below to have access to all 20 videos.

I love the idea of taking something mistreated and/or abandoned and creating something beautiful and interesting with it. May I present to you: Guerrilla Gardening!

Influential People Of The World Unite! In This Painting!

Three Chinese painters worked together to create a massive painting containing the people they felt had most influenced our modern world. You can hover your mouse over the individuals to see their name, or click on a person to get more information (usually a Wikipedia Article):
Abraham Lincoln
Einstein
Sigmund Freud
Jack Kevorkian
Bruce Lee
Napoleon Bonaparte
Michael Jordan
and dozens more

My favorite is the picture of a camel, the link of which leads to a list of "Celebrities that achieved success despite looking like a camel."

Guy’s ringing cell phone turns his oven on

Interference (much like the beep/click noise you hear on speakers when a cell phone is about to ring) is instead turning this man's oven to 'High Broil'.

Sh*t my Dad Says

Some guy on Twitter quoting all the ridiculous and funny things his 70-something dad says on a daily basis.

"You need to flush the toilet more than once...No, YOU, YOU specifically need to. You know what, use a different toilet. This is my toilet."

"Don't touch the bacon, it's not done yet. You let me handle the bacon, and i'll let you handle..what ever it is you do. I guess nothing."

"Your mother made a batch of meatballs last night. Some are for you, some are for me, but more are for me. Remember that. More. Me."

"Your brother brought his baby over this morning. He told me it could stand. It couldn't stand for shit. Just sat there. Big let down."

"The dog is not bored, it's a f*ing dog. It's not like he's waiting for me to give him a f*ing rubix cube. He's a g*d damned dog."

"Tennessee is nice. The first time I vomited was in tennessee, I think."

"The dog is an outside dog. You want an inside dog, you go get your own inside."

"My flight lands at 9:30 on Sunday...You want to watch what? What the f*ck is Mad Men? I'm a mad man if you don't pick me the hell up."

The best part is this guy has over 43,000 followers but he himself only follows LeVar Burton.

Fonolo – let someone else deal with that company’s phone tree

Tell the site what company you want to call, and it will do all the phone-tree surfing for you. It will call you once a real person is available on the other end. It can even record your call for you in case you talk to a real jerk - or if you just have bad memory.
