A piece of history

Cameron's house from Ferris Bueller's Day Off is for sale. Take a peek.

No Asians!

This one of those great moments of journalism preserved in Amber on the great Youtube. Make sure you watch the entire thing. It isn't long and the pay off is wonderful.

Mesto the mad squirrel and his skullduggery


The Lurker mentioned his chaotic house and wanted to share a bit with you. This is just one of the bits of strangeness. We have bones and skulls scattered about the inside and outside of the house. One of the skulls has now become a real treat for a particular creature living on the grounds. As you can see Mesto the mad squirrel is gnawing on the skull. He comes out nibbles hear and there. Even in the rain this mornig his jittery shape was seen all over that dearly departed cow. Mrs. Lurker once told me of a disturbing site. She said she saw Mesto running across the yard with a big bone sticking from its mouth.
We sat for a while sipping our drinks watching nature take its very strange course. The Lurker is not sure why but he does not trust Mesto. I beleive he sneaks in at night and sits at the head of our bed sizing our skulls up for later ingestion.

Thank you and a welcome

The Lurker would just like to thank everyone for their very kind and sometimes funny emails about McGee. She went easily and I felt better after it was all over. Thank you to all.
I noticed later that I did not talk about the other cat we have besides Eli. His name is Silo. He is named because he was abandoned on a farm and was stepped on by a cow as a very tiny kitten. Because of this he has breathing issues and sounds like the kid behind you in Geometry that couldn't breath through his nose. Your high school experience may vary but I think you get what I mean. He has another great ability.He blows snot all over. If he can find it he eats it and then grosses all out who watch. If he doesn't find it then it is allowed to harden into something similar to titanium. The military is very interested in this. Mrs. Lurker called him Silo because of his farming experience. The Lurker on the other hand wanted to call him Heifer. I was a big fan of Rocko's Modern Life.

I also wanted to say welcome to the newest Lurkerite to join the Cult of Wasting Time.

Best version of it ever

The Lurker loves this, especially their faces. If that is their music teacher than I am truly jealous. If our elementary school music teacher did cool stuff I might have at least enjoyed it instead of despising it.
Freakin awesome

That seems rather intrusive

I am glad there isn't a second picture showing what they found.

McGee: a shy sweet cat

Today is very sad day.
I am bringing our cat to be put down today. I am not getting into the why but we know it is time. So the Lurker thought he might fill you in on the tale of how we got her. Before telling the beginning of that story you must know another. About 13 years ago Mrs. Lurker and I went to a yard sale and saw 3 cats in a pet carrier for sale. We like to buy everything at sales like this and so for $4.00 we bought Eli who grew up to be a gigantic Maine Coon. He is huge and ferocious and sometimes mean but I love him. A year later I convinced Mrs. Lurker that Eli needed a friend. Now we could have gone to the pound or any other service but we took a strange action. We showed up on the very front door of the home that had the Yard Sale a year ago. We knocked and explained about our previous purchase and how everything had gone well. We asked if they might have any others. We asked this like they always buy a six pack of kitties and had a few leftovers in the pantry. Surprisingly the woman's daughter was bringing over 12 kittens that they were trying to have adopted. Mrs. Lurker and I tried to come to some terms as to which ONE to get but we could not. So we both got the one we liked. On the way home with are two new kittens we thought of names. I suggested they should be named as a couple and so Mrs. Lurker suggested naming them after an old radio show that I was fond of. Fibber and McGee became part of our house and fit in perfectly in the chaotic way that we keep a home. The Lurker should mention two side things that all 3 come from the same mother and F&M had/have double toes. Unfortunately Fibber got out and was later hit by a car. I buried him on our, at that time newly, bought property. Today I shall reunite them. As I write this I am trying not to blubber but putting your pet down is a hard part of the bargain. We grow so fond of them and then in a flash they are gone.

McGee is Calico on the left. She is/was the opposite of Fibber. He was always rambunctious and everywhere at once knocking Mrs. Lurker's favorite objects to the ground in a smash. McGee could always be counted on to sit and sleep on a lap. She was always skittish. If you made almost any sound and she might disappear in a puff of hair.
I am sorry to be depressing on a nice Friday but I established this site years ago to give me a place to speak my mind. Thank you for reading.

Today is a tough sad day.

Giggle like a middle schooler

There are many things that are frowned upon in this day and age and one of them is Helen Keller jokes. Unfortunately those particular jokes as mean and rude as they are have a soft spot in my heart. I can still remember what lunch table I was sitting at when I heard my first one. Anyway the Lurker just came across this fantastic video that simulates the Helen Keller experience. I do recommend watching it in HQ. I am not embedding it on the page because some may be offended. As you know The Lurker never tries to offend others.
Oh yes make sure you raise the volume.

Signed,
The Lurker

What is Helen Keller's favorite color?
Corduroy

PS the above pic is of Stewie playing Marco Polo with Ms. Keller

Feelin' good?

Hungry for hospital food but not sick well then head on over to the hospital food site to get your fill.mmmmmmmmmmmm

Snowflakes!

A great pic capturing all of the unique and special individuals with the same damn idea. I know if the Lurker were there he would probably just do the same thing.....UGH! Snowflakes...

By the way, it seems one little snowflake at the back left is doing it wrong.

The science of dumb

It is a basic law of nature that anyone wearing a fanny pack cannot do a back flip. You cannot argue with science.

don't lose any unborn children

The other day the Lurker posted a video of this guy and then it was pulled. Thankfully alert reader Thomas notified me here at Lurker central. I searched around trying to find the less terrifying video. Unfortunately I was left with this video. The Lurker planned to put this one up eventually.....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssshhhhh!
I do recommend playing this loud with lots of friends or coworkers about. OK maybe not the coworkers.

You may need a drink to get through this one.

This kicks ass

The chorus makes this tribute to Die Hard so worth it.

Play it loud and proud.

His bread is all sweaty

The Lurker is wondering who in the hell put this video together. Maybe this is cooking just for the ladies.

The other day..

The Lurker posted a pic of Nancy Reagan on Santa T's lap. It just so happens I came across the video where Mr.T talks about it. It was another Betamax find.
It is not too exciting but i was thrilled to see it.

Dammit!

A while back the Found Footage Film Festival was showing in Cambridge. Mrs. Lurker and I were ready to go and as usual I got a migraine. We missed the show but thanks to VideoHomesystem's link I get a sneak peek on what it was like. After watching the video check out their site. They essentially do what the Lurker does which is to go through old tapes and find the best and worst of our planet. Also you might as well head over to FFF's site as well. I believe the Lurker may need to make a purchase of their DVD.

Seriously they find the best stuff! One of the only or best videos about um well essentially it is a how to of um..well...uh. Ok it is hypnotic date rape but is is a great video. Also I should warn you it is all safe until the last 5 seconds. It may not be OK for work.

on another note....

Captain's note...heh heh...He is just fantastic! Don't give up early on this guy.

Thank you and have a pleasant day.

There is another video that The Lurker will be posting from this same guy that puts all other videos to shame....Have patience.

Struck Gold!

Today The Lurker got a donation from a wonderful librarian who knows of the Lurker's passion for Betamax. Now normally I am not into the prerecorded real movie stuff but this is like a video store from 1986 just opened for rent again. It is a freakin time capsule. I am not sure why it will be so much cooler to watch Wargames or Goonies on Beta but i know it will be.

Children are sweet!

I would suggest the new mom should watch out for the eventual skateboard at the top of the stairs.

Makes the Snuggie look damn near normal

Since the Snuggie is so popular now there is the peekaru. A new terrifying look for moms who want to look like a bad B movie. If the Lurker saw this he would run the other way. So if you would like to look like some terrible Chernobyl experiment gone wrong then march on over to the site and grab one before they are all gone.

On a sort of related side note: The Lurker has been looking for this movie for years. It is called Light Years. You can watch it here. From what I can remember it is about a guy who helps a computer and then travels 20 years into the future to find out what the computer has become. Granted it has been years since I have seen it but the reason I bring it up is because the mutants in the movie rather resemble this monstrosity above.

Oh wait wasn't there also another movie reference to this as well. When Arnie finally meets Kuato....ick

but wait there's more...

Two things

The Lurker believes he knows that Santa and the Lurker owns that toy.

The mind boggles

Seriously give it up! This is so dumb it makes my brain hurt. Are you really going to trash a person for his condiment choice? Ugh Hannity is a dick. Read and hear more here. The comments are priceless.
For the record the Lurker uses mayo and ketchup.

I need your notebook!

OK the lurker has just gone through a week with on/off migraines. I am finally getting back to normal or at least close enough for the lurker. However the Lurker is on full mind dump mode with a tinge of free association so here it goes. I meant to do a post just on the first site below but then I seemed to go all over the place.

So awkward and even worse when it is caught on camera. What is the Lurker talking about? Photos from a site called Awkward Boners. You figure it out.
And in keeping with the message here is a pic of the most awesome Boner of them all from Growing pains. Does anyone else remember the episode where boner and mike go to a party and there is cocaine? Just as memorable as the friend dying episode on Family Ties.

More Boner Stabone information
The Lurker feels a little bit more balanced after he got that out of his system. I propose that August 8th is national Boner day in honor of this great actor's role. Its his birthday.

Signed,
The Lurker

Patrick Duffy has become a web god

He shall far surpass Chuck Norris. Long live the Duffy.

The Lurker knew Facebook was full of crabs.

Sexy is as sexy does

ewwwwwwwww!

Time to rewatch cannonball run

Dom Deluise is gone as of last night. The Lurker enjoyed the cannonball movies immensely as a kid. So we lost Bea Arthur the other day and now Dom who shall be next?

Do her a favor

The Lurker enjoys yard sales and auctions. However I only like auctions where you can buy something unopened. There is fun and mystery with it. Oh yes a bit of voyeuristic pleasure. On Luggage home you can see a few suit cases that were purchased from an aviation auction. Luna has photographed all the items and would love to find the owners. Take a look. Maybe you know them. Even if you have no idea about the owners it is still pretty cool to see all the items laid out in this way.
Who know it could all be your stuff.

MySpace needs to give up the guns

The lurker cannot even fathom why these would be taken. Someone please fill in the details!

Did he really shoot all those defenseless squash?

They met online but she lied about her age.

Porn for the nerd

Seriously the Lurker watched this and he sat stupefied. So many great games it is unbelievable. During the video he starts talking about how much these machines bring back memories. I remember playing video games with my dad at every airport we went to . The Lurker also has game tokens from every arcade he spent time in. There is one tiny shot of Xenophobe. It was just the freakin best. Aaaaggggghhhh! I have to get to an arcade right now.

Finally a combo the Lurker can get behind

Dammit! you got your MacGyver in my Star Wars and you got your Star Wars in my MacGyver

Saturday, May 2

Seriously?

The Lurker does not believe in god. He does believe in the almighty INTERNET. Do religious people really think this way? No really if I do not believe in a magic man does that mean I will really start shooting up the place? To the person who made this I feel like I should sternley tell them NO! BAD KITTY!

Last post of the day

Since the movie comes out today enjoy this fine collection of the worst wolverine costumes. See if you can find the Lurker's personal favorite.

Knew it

Find out if you have the pig flu here.

Pretty in pink

Psychedelic Furs - Pretty In Pink


Found at skreemr.com

It is neither pink nor a slip. I found this to be the most disappointing part.
This very morning the Lurker checked the mailbox and found an envelope from my dear employer that said that I would be laid off in two months. Now this may come to pass or it might not. However there is not much I can do to change it so I am not going to worry too much. Thankfully my superhero persona known as the Lurker has really paid off. OK maybe not. Seriously it could have at least been pink and small like a slip of paper but noooooooo.

Well if you know anyone looking for a computer teacher let me know. I have a hat so that would be a plus for any employer.

UGh! the wonderful people over at Everything is Terrible have found yet another horrendous video. Seriously The Lurker watched this and held his breath waiting for his head to explode.
