Sorry I missed you all last week. We had our fantasy football draft on Sunday so SoBDD was down visiting and much preparation went in to making it a fantastic draft experience. So this week we will resume with your regularly scheduled Weekly Prescriptions. On a side note, I've been taking Pepcid AC because I cannot stop burping. That's my personal daily dose, but yours will be much sweeter after the jump.
1. Beijing Olympics Wrap Up Photos
Not much else to be said about that. Some cool pics of what was a great event. Although our softball team is a joke. Losers.
2. Goddamn Batman
This is how I feel almost all the time. I get urges to call people retards and remind them of my identity while placing a "god damn" in front of it. What an absolute bad ass...
3. Travis Pastrana
I just stumbled upon this and remembered watching it happen a few years ago. What an awesome stunt. Balls. On my chin.
4. Charles Manson's Epic Answer
I don't know much about Manson, but I know that this video scares me and creeps me the hell out. Holy crap.
5. Statue Pics
You'll get exactly what you're expecting from this site. Statue pictures. And lots of them.
6. Real Robocop
People hate when science fiction has bad science. Well, Robocop's science just got a little more real. Check this walking S.O.B. out. Not too shabby for a cripple.
And that'll do it this week. See you soon.
Your Doctor,
Dozer

Weekly Prescriptions: 8-10
Hey folks. Sorry I'm late this week. Happy Olympic Games to everyone! Summer is on its way out, but not before we get a chance to own Red China in the medal count in Beijing. I mean, those bastards are doing their darnedest to steal the count by dominating events where absurd amounts of government-sponsored time and steroids go a long way, but I think the good guys will come out on top (though not by too much). Anyway, here's a few sites to get you from Olympic game to Olympic game.
1. NBC Olympics Online
For those of you that are like me and cannot get enough of the Olympics, here is a site that let's you watch anything you want anytime you want (live when possible). After the opening ceremony aired on Friday night, I found this site and spent a long time watching judo. I don't really get the cool factor behind the wrist grabbing and shirt un-doing, but it was somehow fun to watch. On a different note, all the accessibility that NBC is offering online is really refreshing. Makes me think the internet may last forever.
2. Yahoo! Olympics
Being a medal count junkie, Yahoo!'s main page for Olympics coverage does just that. The other thing it offers, which I have not been able to find elsewhere, is a constantly updated list of recently concluded events and their respective medal winners. I love knowing the name of the guy that came in second in 10 meter air pistol, and this site grants me that knowledge.
3. Chemistry Exam
I'm guessing you may have seen this already, or at least seen things like it, but it's funny. If you haven't seen it yet, you're welcome. It reminds me of my days in eighth grade. I used to dominate the teacher and her tests so hard that, upon finishing early, I would throw my ruler at my classmates. I would also spend time sneaking to the chalkboard to draw a hexagon to represent my alter ego, the Hexagon Bandit. Intelligent jerks are the very best kind.
4. Ledger's Joker Concepts
I think it's pretty clear that the guys around BIBTTP are pretty big Batman fans (at least the re-imagined version with Christian Bale). Well, I dug up this site and found it awesome for a good "what if?" What if they had gone ahead with these early concepts for Heath Ledger as the Joker? I think it would have made the movie less realistic (which I proclaimed was one of its best features). Also, I think it may have taken some of the Heath out of the role. That face looks plastic and stiff, and his facial expressions were amazing. Either way, it's an interesting thing to contemplate.
5. 7 High Profile Basketball Criminal Cases
As a guy that has never had talent in basketball outside of dribbling right-handed and lowering my shoulder as I plow towards the basket, I hate basketball and the people that play it. So of course, when I stumbled upon a page that listed seven of its greatest screw-ups of recent times, I had to let you share my enjoyment. From Kobe to Jayson Williams, from Glen Rice to AI, enjoy their failures with me. And then be jealous of them once again five minutes later.
6. Lobsters
And here is this week's throw away pick. Something absurd for you to chew on. Enjoy your lives for the next seven days, and I'll see you in a week.
The Doctor.

Weekly Prescriptions: 8/3
It's that time of the month week again, and frankly, I'm excited about it. I find I much enjoy our fulfilling albeit limited time together, and I'm sure you feel the same way. I also wanted to take the time to make a little pledge to you. With authors being added and more and more posts being posted each and every week, things look to be on the up and up around here. My pledge is this: no matter how cool our blog gets and how many fans we have asking us to let them fellasche us or kiss their babies, I won't forget my devoted "Weekly Prescriptions" column readers. You can count on me for as long as this blog is up and running. With that in mind, onto this weeks pills/picks.
1. 15 Funniest Police Blotters
At Reston, we have a good time every few weeks looking through the college newspaper and checking out the police blotter. That's where they write down a list of all the situations the campus police have responded to. It never fails to amuse. Anyway, this is a list of some epic police blotters that I stumbled upon. Pretty damn hilarious. Give it a shot. Damn ungrateful ducks...
2. I Met a Butterfly
A cute little butterfly comic strip that reminds us all what is important in life. Well, sort of. It reminds me of a kid I knew in high school whose screen name was morbidmetal13. What a friggin' psycho.
3. 2008 Darwin Awards
I realize that 2008 is not yet over and that this probably isn't the official Darwin Awards release, but it's damned funny. If you don't find number one slightly amusing at the least, please die. All 8 are hilarious. Please enjoy.
4. Repose
Usually, I'm not all about artsy naked pics. I mean, if you're going for naked pics, go all the way, right? Well, something about this picture was refreshing. I thought it could also make all of you that haven't seen a girl in person in over 4 months feel very very alone... Suck it.
5. Hot Pole Vault Chick
There's really nothing more to it than that.
6. Car Fail
What an incredible fail. I smiled the whole time. I mean, what was he thinking? A race against gravity? And then to challenge the momentum of his car? Unstoppable force and all that, I guess. And then he drives away. What an idiot.
Well, see you all next week.
Yours,
Doctor Dozer

MMA Weekly Prescriptions
I don't mean to rip off the Doctor with my title but that is in fact what I did. Sorry. I could not think of a better title right now. So I just went with that. I hope everyone has been enjoying my regular MMA posts, and for those of you who have and are craving more MMA information, I have compiled a list of a few sites that I frequent regularly. Check them out and enjoy...
Sherdog
This is the foremost leader in MMA news and articles. The writers are knowledgable and they have the infamous "Fight Finder" feature. Search any name/nickname and you will get the full list of fights for that person and any person for that matter who has competed in any sort of sanctioned MMA event, ever.
Five Ounces of Pain
One of the more substance based MMA websites out there. Articles/videos added daily. The editor: Sam Caplan is one of the leading MMA reporters around. Check out this site if you want to find out what is going on in the MMA world and what is going to happen in the near future.
MMA Weekly
I only look at this site for the rumor section. It provides a clear list of upcoming MMA events and which fights are likely to occur on those dates. For the MMA fan, this knowledge is so exciting. A fight fan has trouble waiting a week for a fight, let alone three months and MMA Weekly provides news about events that have not even been finalized yet. So if you're looking to see who your favorite fighter will be taking on next, check out this site.
MMA Junkie
Much like BIBTTP, this site is a blog site that was created by a hardcore MMA fan and which has blossomed into one of the most viewed MMA sites out there. The articles are very informative and the site has a partnership with Yahoo Sports and publishes stories from Yahoo MMA writers as well. The articles are short (which is good for my short attention span) and it even has a tutorial for the fan thinking about betting/wagering on MMA fights. Check it out.
Well I hope you will find these sites as enjoyable as I do, and I promise you that viewing them daily will make you a much more knowledgable MMA fan and will get you hooked on the sport in no time.
Enjoy...Do Work

Weekly Prescriptions: 7/27
Welcome to yet another edition of your favorite weekly blog posting: Weekly Prescriptions with your host, Doctor Dozer. I'm coming off a hell of a weekend, and I'm going to do all I can to inspire you to share my joy as we enter a new week. And the Yankees won. And great weather for the beach. I am tan in a way my computer can never make me. Anyway, here are your weekly doses of Dozer. Love them.
1. Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter 2
I clicked the "Ready" button thinking I'd be able to tool around with an old fighting game that I didn't remember playing. Something SuperNES or Sega Genesis style. Instead, I got to watch a great short film about love and bravery and honor all done with 4 simple characters (cough 5) from the games Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Stick it out at least until the fighting scenes start. It's just really awesome from then on. You won't be disappointed.
2. Side View
I thought this was pretty clever. Basically, you enter a word or name and the program spits out a way to create it in 3D so that from one side it is your word and from a perspective 90 degrees to the right it looks like a different word. I tried some myself and got a few very appropriate results. Try "DocDozer," "DocDozerf" (that was a typo, but it's perfect), and SOBDD. Fun for about five minutes, but I'm not promising anything MORE than that so you can't get mad at me.
3. Best Doo Doo Pie Story... Ever
Maybe it's wrong of me to hype this story up so much, but I really had a good time reading it. It starts slow, setting tone, mood, scene. Then things start to build up (in his bowels) and all of the sudden there is action... stinky, dirty action. Just read it through. Sure the guy is over the top sometimes, but deal with it. And whether it happened or not, it's a great read. If it were true, could you even handle an image accompanying the story? I think not.
4. Graffiti Tag
The absurdity of this comic is fantastic. It's worth the 15 seconds it will take to click and read. I won't spend any more time describing it. Just read it already!
5. Realistic Lego Portrait
I simply appreciate the artist's depiction of the subject. At first, it seems like some abstract figure, but after maybe 3 seconds, you'll have one of those "Ohhhhh" moments. Nice job, dude.
6. Carveboard
I've dabbled in surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, roller blading. All of it. But this thing is friggin' awesome. I frequently take late night skates around campus on my longboard (no, I'm not a weirdo hippie), but taking this thing out and around campus to dominate hills would be awesome. Innovative and neat. Take a look.
7. The Path Ahead
Just a little foreshadowing. A little taste of what you can expect the rest of the week, the rest of the summer, the rest of the year, the rest of... everything. Don't stop, get it, get it.

Weekly Prescriptions: 7-20
Welcome back from a long week of the grind, people. It's nice to have you here. Living up to the nerd standards that SoBDD proposed, I, too, saw The Dark Knight this weekend and may have something in store for you regarding it. Just not yet. So for now, take what he said and run with it. In other news, it's been almost 100 degrees over the course of this week's end, and that sucks. But hey! Stick around, and we'll get you some things to help you through these truly dog days of summer. Picks after the jump.
1. Running for Office: Steve Tevis
I don't know this man. I don't know much about Kansas (Dorothy?). And I certainly don't know much about the office of State Representative there. But I know this: I like this guy. I like what he stands for, but more importantly how he stands for it. As Obama is doing now, Tevis is trying to point out the failures of the political system. Name recognition wins elections. Obama, however, has been doing what most Democrats love to do: saying one thing and doing the other. They're rich but claim to be champions for the poor to bring down the rich. They claim to want to help the environment, but cannot do anything to limit their own pollution and energy consumption(Al "Faggot Baby-Toucher" Gore). And in Obama's case, he's against traditional politics but PLAYS THE GAME THAT THEY ALL PLAY! This guy, though, really is operating outside of our traditional political system. He's doing what he says he's going to do right out of the gate. Making comics, referencing xkcd for Pete's sake! I hope he wins, I really do.
2. Time For Some Campaignin'
I had one more video for you guys while we're on our political stint. This one is a nice sing-along video from the guys at Jib Jab highlighting the current state of national politics in the United States. Take a gander. It might take a second viewing to get a legitimate chuckle out of you, but definitely worth a look. I loved the Barack part. The voice actor, the unicorns, and the... what is it he's about again? Take a look for reminding.
3. Toilet Paper: Over or Under?
If you haven't discovered this already, I'm a guy that's relatively certain he's correct about basically everything. Even in those timeless debates where people adamantly disagree with the other side. Like the "couldn't care less" versus "could care less" debate. Teh-may-toe versus teh-mah-toe. Overhand rolling toilet paper versus underhand. Regarding the last one, I was an overhand guy through and through, sometimes threatening my mother with knives when she did it wrong. I never knew what my reasons were though... until now. The guys over at Current Configuration did a fantastic job explaining this important life lesson for everyone. They use diagrams and professional language to express what I've always known deep down: underhanded toilet paper is for the fruits.
4. Gonzo Journalism
This picture has made me laugh, giggle, or smile like a little boy every time I've looked at it. Maybe it's something about feeling so close to Gonzo. Or maybe it's the outfit of a shuffle-board playing Floridian retiree (which gets me thinking this may be a "this is what Gonzo's doing now" shot, which is totally awesome). Or maybe it's the filtered cigarette, which is so out-of-right-field that I can't fathom who thought of it. Or maybe it's his drooping-dick nose. I also love Animal here. God bless the Muppets and whoever thought up this photograph.
5. Hidden Kitten Attack
I'm going to end this week with a parade of cuteness. I know, it seems uncharacteristic of your cock-showing, boob-squeezing creep of a doctor, but sometimes my heartstrings need tugging, just like my.... yeah. So to start us off, here is a kitten sneak-attacking his owner. I mean, if you're capable of not smiling every time he retreats back into his prime, Rambo-esque ambush location, I doubt you have a pulse. I mean, I don't even know how to describe the cuteness. Go watch this now, then go steal your friends cat and make it do the same thing. If it can't, shoot it in the head (artificial toughness to balance the world out).
6. Faces of the Earth
This is a list of photographs of things that resemble faces. From sink faucets to car front ends, they don't miss a beat. Maybe not as cute as the sneak-attack kitten, but it should elicit a grin or smirk from our more light-hearted readers. My favorites are definitely the second and third pictures...
7. Feet
Last but not least, one of the cutest/most romantic photos I've seen in a while. I tried describing it to a friend of mine earlier and realized there was nothing I could possibly do to sound any more gay. So I'll leave you with this: the implications of this simple, black and white photo aren't anything profound, but maybe that's the point. A simple photo with a simple implication, a simple message, and a simple x in the corner to escape when you can no longer stand the emotion of it all.
Hope you enjoyed taking those meds half as much as I enjoyed prescribing them. If there's any undesirable side effects, talk to blogsquatch. He'd love to nurse most any guy or girl back to full health.
Rx: Take each pill once every 6 hours on a full stomach

Weekly Prescriptions: 7-13
Hello my malady-ridden readers. Welcome to yet another edition of Weekly Prescriptions. Sorry for the lateness, but I had a case of "hideously pale skin" syndrome (an ailment approaching epidemic levels for college-aged men and women working ridiculously long hours for summer internships) and needed eight man hours in the sun on Sunday (appropriate, no?). In fact, part of that outdoor excursion included a tennis match between theShow and myself versus my dad, High Whites, and Fabrieccio. More on that, and of course some medicine to help you through the week, after the jump.
If you're not interested in the recounting of my tennis tale from Sunday, feel free to skip ahead. For everyone else, read on.
First, a little side note. Thanks to friend of the blog Cheb Khalid, we've had a recent fascination with giving one another nicknames that end in "man." The other guys have some funny ones, ranging from "pizza man" to "metro man," but mine is simply "aggressive man." I suffer from chronic, out-of-control competitive and killer spirit, which is commonly called COCKS. Anyway, I hate to lose, even in small time games with family or friends, old guys or little kids. With that in mind, you can almost picture me standing out there on the court. No shirt, Renton shorts, and a crappy Garnier Fructis bandana on my head (worn in the thick Rafa style) that was mirrored on the head of theShow (we asked High Whites if we could borrow a couple of bandanas, and he gave us the most awful ones he could find). One last aside before I recount the events: I am not a good tennis player.
So, despite a few good volleys and a whole lot of dominant athleticism (including your faithful Doctor crushing the tennis ball into High Whites' stomach without an apology), theShow and I quickly went down 2 sets to 0. The old man had played another game earlier in the day, so he told us that he'd play only one more set, but only if we wanted to lose again.
Being the man that I am, I said of course we'd play, and I didn't stop there. I kept talking, and wound up guaranteeing victory in the final set. Well, I may not have been sure of it at the time, but the fact that it was said made me even more aggressive and competitive. Despite our lack of talent and prior failings, we had to win.
And win we did. It was beautiful. We hadn't broken old man's serve all day, and we started out up 4-0. We were just hustling, dominating play at the net, and keeping everything in play. A few games later we were up 5-3, our advantage, match point. I was sick of playing around. theShow served, and the volley went for a while. We exchanged sides right and left a few times too many, and all of a sudden I was far too close to the center line. Fabrieccio hit a shot to the open court and we both made to run it down, him coming up from behind and to the left and me running almost straight back to it. We're both going to reach it, but I called him off. I wanted this one. I've played squash before, and this shot was all too reminiscent of those glory days (which I'll try to write about sometime soon). I reach the ball, wrist cocked properly, and hook it behind me right over the top of the net to the old guy. It dies as it reaches him, but he wasn't prepared anyway. The shot was too pure, too improbable, and too perfect. He got a racket to it and buried it into the net. We won.
And that is what this story was about. Winning with the odds stacked against you. Betting on yourself, the underdog, because you know that there is no way to stop the competitive drive living inside of you. There's just no way you can lose. And you don't.
Well, I hoped you enjoyed that little foray into the life of the Doctor. Now, without further ado, your cocktail of weekly prescriptions
Barracuda Bouncers
This video is disturbing and appalling. Seriously, don't watch it if you have a weak stomach. What the video shows is a bunch of bouncers at a bar called "The Barracuda Bar" somewhere in Florida mercilessly beating random people that apparently give them lip or attitude. Now you may be thinking, "But Doctor, fighting is cool, bro!" To which I would respond with a resounding "Absolutely!" But this isn't fighting. This is savage and repeated beating. The site says they were charged and not convicted. I just can't believe it. Watch for yourself, and never go out to any bar by yourself.
Cartwheel Knockout
Like I was saying early, Doctor Dozer does like good, clean fighting, kids! Mixed Martial Arts, as theShow will readily tell you, is a great sport for competitors and spectators alike. This video came across my screen thanks to SoBDD, so enjoy one on him. He made me repay him with a blowy, so I hope it was worth it to you, the reader. Obviously this doesn't compare to an 8 second knockout or a flying knee or spinning back fist landing perfectly to close a fight, but it's a damn cartwheel! A cartwheel kicking someone in the face! Try that one on your little sister, and don't tell you mom where you learned it. But DO tell your friends.
The Rock
As I sit at work lately, I read a lot about the coming presidential election. Comments from the campaign trail, predictions from analysts, analysis of analysis, and voters' opinions. Basically as much as I can find. What really has struck me lately is the lack of patriotism in this great nation. Barack is basically willing people to vote BECAUSE they are not proud of the country they are living in. And conservative organizations keep telling everyone how upset they are with their centrist nominee that they might not vote at all. What I haven't been hearing about, lately, are stories like these. I don't think I can add anything to what's said on the site, but definitely take a look. It's nice to know people still support the military and the job the soldiers are doing.
FFToday
Continuing on my buildup to fantasy drafts in leagues everywhere, here is another free fantasy football site that I love. This site doesn't have all the millions of articles that the pay sites do, nor do they have any free software or applications to take advantage of. The draw for them, then, is that their statistical analysis is some of the best in the business. They run numbers to test theories that are held industry-wide, discover new ways to properly value players, and are willing to take risks and admit when they have been wrong. Just a great site with some great writers. If you need a place to start, read everything ever written by Matt Waldman. You will not regret it.
Batman On Your Mother
Here's a throw away in honor of the Dark Knight release later this week. I'm not really sure whether or not the Joker will make Batman look this clown-like or not, although smart money is on Heath Ledger, I mean the Joker, to be dead... yeah that was tasteless. I actually very much respect Heath Ledger and am very sorry he's no longer with us. Let his performance be the one everyone says it is. Let it be one for the ages, one for the Oscars. And let this movie be as ridiculously awesome as this picture is flat out ridiculous.

Weekly Prescriptions 7/6/2008
Anyway, here is your weekly dose of Doctor-prescribed goodies. I hope you enjoy them.
1. Charters of Freedom
In honor of our Independence Day, here is a site that gives you a chance to reread (or read for the first time) the text of the document. It also gives you a chance to look at some of the history of its creation. I strongly encourage everyone to just give a look to the document that gave this country its start.
2. Fantasy Football Calculator
For those of you who forgot, SoBDD and myself are huge fans of fantasy football. As this is the time of the year when champions are truly crowned, I'll try to drop you some of my favorite free fantasy football sites each week for the rest of the summer. This first site, Fantasy Football Calculator, is a great site for mock drafting. Its simple design, its clarity of purpose, and its easy interface is perfect for most serious drafters. It offers 8-14 team drafts and lets you pick whatever spot you want. The chat is usually pretty good if you want to see how people react to your picks and if your defense of them is adequate.
I really believe in mock drafting before your league's draft. It gives you some idea as to where people value players, gives you some idea of how different strategies work in your drafting slot, and shakes the dust off of your drafting mentality, taking you through the paces before the big day.
3. Butt Genie
I literally chuckled aloud to myself after I read this. How appropriate for the my tastes in humor. I really hope you can appreciate it yourself.
4. 10 Worst Bank Robberies Ever
Idiots are fun to laugh at. Failure is funny. Pathetic people are a gift unto themselves. If you agree with any of those statements,
5. Gay Zombies
And last but certainly not least, a little more gay humor for you to enjoy. This video was posted on College Humor, so you should trust its hilarity for that reason alone.
Alright, well you guys have a great week, and may God have mercy on your souls.

Weekly Prescriptions 6/29/08
Welcome back folks. Hope it was a good week. I hope my remedies for your maladies (your boring life and your ugliness...jk) were helpful. Oh, they were? I don't even know why I asked because, after all, I am the Doctor, and the Doctor knows best. For this week, another treasure trove of web gems (no, not the web gems on ESPN, the ones that StumbleUpon shows me). The picks come after the jump. And you'd best take your time to view them, because they are hilarious and moving as always.
1. Today's Big Thing
This is a site that, apparently has something cool that's NOW on the internet for that day. I can't attest to the quality of the site over time, but today's (Sunday's) was in fact pretty well done. That girl may not have boobies, but she's one of the most impressive I've seen all week. But I would beat her ass in any sport, contest, or anything physical at all. But I am the friggin' Doctor, mind you, so don't think you're necessarily better than her.
2. xkcd
If you haven't heard of xkcd already, you are simply missing out on the best web comic ever. It is clever, funny, and nerdy as hell. I linked you to one that is sort of pertinent given the atrocious cost of gas these days, but feel free to read every single one. It is definitely worth your time and effort. And if you're like me, you have absolutely nothing better to do.
3. Coca-Cola
I'm no graphic designer or anything, but as SoBDD and I know, it is simplicity and a certain "classic" look that makes any design great. For us, we like to apply that logic to sports uniforms most directly (we are avid fans of UniWatch), but I still no how to appreciate genius design when I see it. And unless you've been under a rock for the best decade, you've probably noticed the tendency in all things design to get away from "classic" and move towards something called "trendy" or "modern." I would say leave that to the messenger-bag-toting flannel-wearing hippies of our time that love muted colors and different shoes. What the average consumer and design fan can appreciate is class and simplicity, and I think this short article, whether this is actually the new face of Coca-Cola or not, can show us.
4. Cute Penguins
A short and sweet dose of doctor love, this is just a really cute ass picture. I'm a huge fan of lolcatz and cute dogs with human-like expression being assigned quotes, but this one doesn't need a quote. Just a cute picture of a cute couple. Lovely.
5. Wedding Test
This last one is to leave you smirking and/or laughing. A compact little joke to send you off with. If it doesn't make you laugh, be sure to not let me know. I don't care if you can or cannot find the humor in a tasteless joke about marriage. Haha infidelity. Yes, it's wrong, but that just makes it funnier. That may or may not be true, but read it, have a laugh, and bother me never.
Alright folks, hopefully that will get you through the next 30 minutes of your lives. But let the emotions these modest websites elicit within you carry you from this evening through Friday. It's a long week, but keeping laughter, joy, and love in mind can only make it easier. And that's what the Doctor ordered.
Rx - Laugh and smile and dance and love. As much as possible. All the time.
Signed,

Weekly Prescriptions
Welcome to the most recent concoction of old-fashioned medicine from Doctor Dozer himself. "Weekly Prescriptions" will be a Sunday evening posting by yours equivocatingly of websites that I've stumbled upon over the course of the preceding week. For those of you that don't know, StumbleUpon is an add-on for web browsers (FIREFOX 3!!!) that asks you to tell if preferences, and in return, upon clicking on its button somewhere in your browser window, it directs you to sites you may enjoy. My tastes trump those of all other individuals, so I figure its only fair to pass on the wonderful sites that StumbleUpon suggests to me based on my perfect interest to you the reader. So weekly I will link you to sites ranging from beautiful pictures to articles on blogs or news sites to web games or videos or anything else you can think of. I wouldn't post it here if it weren't earth-shatteringly awesome, so take the time to check it out. Good luck.
World of WifeCraft
I am not a WOWer myself, but I found this video to be both refreshingly clever and downright funny. Basically, it's about a group of gentlemen that are big nerds, love World of Warcraft, but suck as husbands. To solve their marital problems, they are hypnotized into believing that their marriage is a MMORPG. That's the outline, but it's much more hilarious than that, so give it a watch.
15 Unfortunately Placed Ads
The short-sightedness of others never fails to make me giggle, and this is a perfect example of that tendency. The people that posted these ads are quite simply idiots. But as such, it makes me laugh quite hard. Take a look, have a laugh.
Australia Day Perth
This is just a really pretty picture. Not much more I can say about it. It'll take literally 20 seconds for you to look at it, so what are you waiting for?
The 75 Skills Every Man Should Master
Immediately after reading this I sent it to a number of friends and told them to read it because of the nostalgia, elation, and contentedness I felt after reading it in its entirety. One of my friends told me that those feelings were the result of the gay pornography I had blaring on my TV, but all the same it's a good read. It'll bring back the glory days and give you good ideas about how to spend your free time (without, of course, sacrificing any of the time spend reading our blog).
The Napkin Project
This is a great site with a ton of stories to read. Basically, Esquire send out napkins to all these contemporary authors and asked them to write down any kind of story they wanted. They were simply limited to the canvas of the napkin. Their responses were nothing short of amazing in the span of styles and stories that they responded with. Click through the stories in your spare time and find some gems.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the first segment, and be sure to check back next week (and every week) for my over the same. And I almost forgot; you smell like BENGAY!
