Waste of Time Website of the Week #4

Having recently shared that I have a newfound man-crush on Dallas Cowboy Quarterback Tony Romo, I think that I should also share with you my new home page on my computer . . .


Yep, TonyFreakinRomo.com! The only website dedicated to all things Tony freakin' Romo!

Nowhere else can you learn so much about the NFL's greatest quarterback! I found the following from the biography page:

"NASA employed Tony Romo for 9 days where he designed, built, and threw a rocket into orbit. That only took one day, but there was a big softball tournament coming up that was 8 days long…and they needed a ringer."

"Des Moines, Iowa was having a crime problem. They installed billboard pictures of Tony Romo around the city and overnight crime went down to –9%; that’s right, people started giving stuff to each other."

"Tony Romo won Prom King all four years of high school…in every high school in the state."

The website is freakin' hilarious so check it out!

I Feel The Need For Speed!

In response to my recent speeding ticket(s), my Dad-In-Law sent me a great link: SpeedTrapped.com

The first thing I have to comment on is how funny it is that rather than giving me some line of "Wade, you really should try to slow it down, Mmm-k?", he instead sends me a website that shows me where I can (and can't) get away with speeding!

For Christmas this year, I think I'll ask him for a radar detector just to see if he actually gets me one!

As for the website, genius! It's a map of over 21,000 known speed traps in the US! (Sorry, Russ, Canada doesn't seem to be included - I guess you guys don't have a problem with speeding!)

No doubt police departments everywhere are furious that this super-confidential-double-secret information has been released into the public domain. Nonetheless, I have no choice but to assume that this is an all-inclusive listing of speed traps and will therefore drive accordingly!

(Had I only known about this website when I rented that Mustang!)

Thanks for the link, Dad-In-Law! Now I'll get to Brownwood even faster!

Waste of Time Website of the Week

Have you ever felt like being a pest just for the sake of pestering someone?

You can fill your pestering urges by clicking here.

This is a really stupid website where you can see how many times you can poke a penguin before the little guy finally loses it. He has several 'over-reactions' so be sure to poke again.

Have fun wasting your time!

_________________________________________________________

PS: Just to make sure 'poke the penguin' wasn't street slang for something really bad, I looked it up at urbandictionary.com.

It means to make a nun really mad.

Example: Dude, I totally poked that penguin when I egged her house.

It's safe to say that I have lost all my street cred!

Enjoy!

Waste of Time Website of the Week: Bunny Reenactments

Here’s a new series I’m starting called “Waste of Time Website of the Week.” I apologize in advance for the misleading title. Although the posts will be about stupid websites that do nothing but waste your time, they won’t necessarily come in weekly installments.

Anywho – here’s a website of animated bunnies that reenact a popular movie in 30 seconds courtesy of Angry Alien Productions. Some of these are freggin’ hilarious! My favorites are Jaws, Titanic and Star Wars. Click on the icon below to start the show.

PARENTAL WARNING: Bunny reenactments are clever, cute and funny (and don’t forget a waste of your time), however some bunnies use bad words and portray adult bunny situations!

Although these 3 clips are relatively safe for family viewing, some of the other clips on thier website carry an R-Rating. So if you have bunny-loving kiddo's at home, you may want to watch those during nap time! Surprisingly, Office Space Bunnies is worse than Brokeback Mountain - you would think it would be the other way 'round!

Have fun wasting your time!

Worst album covers of all time!

There’s a website that I’ve wanted to blog about for a while but I haven’t because although there is some hilarious stuff on it – there’s also some really off-color humor as well. But since I don’t want you to be deprived I’ve decided to copy and paste just the good stuff. The website is porktornado.diaryland.com – click at your own risk.

The worst album covers of all time!

"Have you ever been to one of those parties where everyone sits expectantly and watches two people dance around like dorks in a dork shop? Right. No one has, because those parties don't happen. Maybe it was a simpler time when songs like “Poor Little Fool” and “Splish Splash” had some kind of mind controlling power over teenagers. It caused them to pull their pants up too high and wear the worst socks ever made. No wonder there was such condemnation of Rock and Roll in the fifties. Look at what it did to their stupid kids. Granted, this one isn’t terribly offensive, but they get worse."

"That’s right, just 'Joyce'. It practically sells itself. For as much as 50 cents, judging by the price tag. Kudos to the marketing genius who came up with this layout. Little known fact about Joyce: She started the whole “one name” thing for singers. Madonna, Cher, Prince, Pantera…all Joyce wannabes."

"The lost art of using an Olan Mills family portrait as your album cover is lost for a reason, and this is it. Polyester as far as the eye can see, and some insane woman wearing the world’s largest ball of twine on her head. The McKeithen family from left to right- Marsha, JoJack, Ma, and Jebediah. They were as functional as you would imagine any Christian family singing group would be."

"This is not a far cry from the family portrait, except they opted for the “Kountry Kowboy” lame farm background. The least they could have done is bring in a fake section of fence for them to lean on. The first concept for this cover showed the men with a piece of straw in each of their mouths, but that was too much like smoking, and thus too edgy. No one liked the guy on the left, but he coordinated their outfits, so they needed him. Coincidentally, this album is why the popular fashion movement of sweater vests with turtlenecks and checked pants never got started."

(By the way, I bumped into Brian D. in a grocery story parking lot today and he gave me a hard time for not giving him props as the one who orginally sent me this link. So, props to Brian D. - are you happy now?)

My Pie

Although I've come to enjoy blogging, I don't have any misconceptions that my blog provides any valuable content whatsoever to the Internet. But compared to some of the alternatives that Mr. Google will help you find, at least my corner of the web has a point! Case in point, here's my vote for the most pointless website on the Internet - which includes a website I found of some old lady showing off her recent BeDazzler creations!

Side Note: For those of you who don't remember, the BeDazzler was a 1980's infomercial product that stapled rhinestones to your favorite sweater or jean jacket! Why in the world you would want to do that is still beyond me. But for some reason it seemed like a great idea to a girl in my 4th grade class. We all promptly ridiculed and publicly humiliated her for obvious reasons! I guess I kinda feel bad about that . . . o-well!

By the way, just a quick thanks to all of you who have helped my blog pass an only slightly significant milestone recently: 1,000 visitors and counting! Thanks for stopping by! I'll use Said pointless website as motivation to continue my daily pursuit to bring you edgy, hard-hitting rants about nothing in particular . . .

Oh yeah, thanks to Brian D. for passing on the pointless website!

Mother Goose Rocks!

For all you people who get upset when President Bush is made fun of – take a chill pill and watch this clip! What makes it so hilarious is that it is actually a children’s video!

U2 fans will get a kick out of this too! There are links below the video for clips that spoof Dave Matthews, Gwen Stefani and Green Day.

(Thanks to www.wadehodges.com for passing this on.)

PS: I have the upmost respect for our President.

You look just like . . .

Have you ever thought your great hair looks just like Jennifer Aniston's or your great smile looks just like George Clooney's? If so, I found a website that will give you indisputable proof! My Heritage.com will scan your photo and tell you which celebrity you most resemble!

Since I’ve been told that I look like Edward Norton, I was a little surprised (but not too disappointed) when My Heritage.com said I looked more like a young Alec Baldwin! I guess that makes Kelly my Kim Basinger!!

Edward Norton Alec Baldwin

Since the service is free give it a try and tell me who I should be mistaking you for!
