Nice compilation

Good classic fails nicely put together with the laughing baby. It works for the Lurker

Do two movies make a trend?

Out of nowhere there are two movies about semi normal people becoming superheroes. One is Kickass which the Lurker is definitely looking forward to and the other is Defendor. Watch the trailer. I guess I would go to see it.

Goodbye Mr, Koenig

A while back the Lurker wondered whatever happened to Boner from Growing pains. I wrote about it and had a good time at his expense. I enjoyed his ridiculous character on the show and honestly wished him well in his progressive pursuits. Today we say goodbye to him. Not sure what happened at the end but he brought a small bit of entertainment and humor to me as a kid. Here is a not so great clip from the last episode that Boner was in. There really wasn't much to choose from.

Like crochet and ukulele?

A nice little catchy and cute video 

Queen of Fake outrage

Sarah Palin is just getting awesome...r.

Gawker did a nice retake of the whole Palin /Family guy thing. find it here

Also below is a post taken from Urbandictionary that was to perfect too pass up. 
Palin American
A pc way to call someone mentally challenged.

See: Retard

Person 1: "OMG, Bryan is such a retard"
Person 2: "Retard is such a strong word. Use 'Palin American' instead."

The image of course is of Sarah Palin, her baby and Peter Griffin

It's a mascot!!!

Holy crap a University is considering making Admiral Ackbar their mascot. Yes that freakin Ackbar as opposed to the one that works in marketing. Just awesome.

Here's a great addition to the story. Watch the video. I would recommend the Jaws theme in your head then the cheesey announcers

Teaching science

As a kid I dearly loved WKRP. Everytime I say Booger I still think of the show. Now that I am a teacher I look for any well done teaching even in an old sitcom. Watch and learn about atoms.

She may be the butt of jokes

All the training to get to that point and this is what you will be remembered for.

Burger Karma

This will make you feel better about your life

Finally a movie of his I can back

When the Lurker was younger he enjoyed a good Brendan Frasier movie. Either I have grown or his movies have gone to shit. After seeing the travesty that was Journey to the Center of the Earth movie I saw this and found this wonderful

Alcohol is the monkey on my back

Thanks Ben for this wonderful bit of animal drunkenness. 

One more reason not to work out

Simple equation. You are working out therefore you are not paying attention to kitty, kitty decides to show his feelings

Cartoonist extraordinaire

I love when he says "typical". The Lurker personally has not ever been privileged enough to see a muscular elf.

An abortion of a theme park

Ever wonder what the afterlife would be like? Well if you want to know what limbo bordering on hellish is like head to Legoland. Stupidly we didn't seem to realize it was aimed at 2 year olds.


Everything was sunbleached and boring as hell. All the rides are at least 45
Minutes waits. When you get to the actual ride you realize how terrible it was that you waited. In final avoid this like the plague.


On second thought an introduction of H1N1 would take of this place.

Disney studios, pinks and a magic castle

Went to visit a friend at the mother of all animation studios, Disney
studios in Burbank,Ca. The tour was fantastic. So much to see it is
overwhelming. Everything from props to original glass backgrounds. The
lurker was going to audition for a tv show but thought better of it.
Then onto a staple of LA, Pinks hot dogs. At this point even I was
stuffed with food so we shared a guacamole dog. Decent with an unusual
taste underneath. The lurker started to interview the regulars in the
wait line. Very entertaining.
Finally we stopped of at one of the few remaining magic supply shops
around LA. This place is on Hollywood Blvd. Here we were both informed
and entertained by Lisa, a long time magician. She was great even
giving us an invite to the most exclusive and prestigious Magic
Castle. This is the center of the universe for magicians. Check the
site magiccastle.com to read about it. Of course we bought a bunch of
great tricks. Really cool stuff.
I include one last photo showing Colin being very uncomfotable with
the Lurker's attention.

Time for a good blinding

Take the day off because you won't be able to see after the viewing.

LA or bust

We are so close to animals

This is like watching the Alien version of animal documentaries but for humans. In the same way we enjoy seeing a tiger taking down some fast running animal we get to watch three herd creatures taking on a lone, very stupid, wolf

Dinos and aliens

We found this little beauty in the back of an RV park. They nicely let
you walk down to the creek where it's grazing.

I am thinking of buying this

The Lurker once very stupidly ran four fingers across a very old and rusty tablesaw that we picked up off of someone's trash. Maybe it is time to go high tech. Check the video out it is amazing.

an old favorite

If you are not quoting this after you really didn't watch it.

I would give him a Halo

The Lurker plays Halo online and has to listen to the dumbest of creatures. Below is one bit of retaliation that pleases my heart. I am reprinting the text but check the site for caring comments. 

Today i was playing xbox live when a particularly annoying kid started yelling obscenities. I have had enough of this. I checked his profile and found he listed his full name and hometown, after a quick facebook search i found his home phone number. I called his house under the guise of a Microsoft Representative and told his mother that he had been reported for all his racism and swearing, after a short pause i heard a lot of screaming then the phone got hung up. I felt like such a badass ruining some 12 year old's day. MLIA

San Diego

The lurker does San Diego. Got in last night and headed to a yard sale that was from a time warp. I got a Betamax rewinder and a new player from 1984. Also freakin local almonds...sweet!





Then onto the best farmer's market ever. Finally a stop to look under a statue's dress.


Lastly we finished the night with the best guacamole I've ever had plus a dead mouse.


The skulker found this poor deceased creature stuffed into a lock.

Fwd: A celebrity death!

Not enough time for a proper post because I'm on the move but this is
one of my favorite guilty pleasure reads.
The lurker has enjoyed his novels for years. Simple stories about
normal people becoming heroes.

And now here's Misery Bear

He is full of fun,

Outta here!!

Since the Lurker is in a supreme state of happiness because he, Mrs. Lurker and the Skulker and Skulkerkette are off to San Diego I thought I would give you a classic that will stay in your ears all day. 

The Lurker digs Fox's new theme song

mmmmmm sammich

asian with a sammich - m4w - 27 (Orange Line)
Date: 2010-02-02, 3:43PM EST
I couldn't resist staring at your sammich, two luscious pumpernickel slices overflowing with lettuce, all locked inside a clear container. I think you glanced at me a couple times but I assure you my lip smacking was purely for your sammich. If you didn't eat your sammich let me know and I'll finish it off for you. Orange line to Vienna - you, me, and your sammich got off at Ballston yesterday around 6pm.

Ladies, now you know how to get my attention.

Stop dicking around!!

The last post made me scan the interwebs a bit and I came across this curious little bill. It essentially says that circumcision would be banned in Massachusetts. Why am I not hearing about this. The Lurker recalls the famous speech that started Foreskin and twenty years ago....

on my way to coffee

Some mornings I head to Starbucks for a bit of a warm pick me up. I tend to look everywhere for strangeness. Sometimes I almost walk into it. Here is what I saw this morning. 

There is disturbing and then there is this

We used to leave ribbon around and we had a similar issue. 

Happy day

No penalties, no jail-time. no nothing. Got all my parking tickets dismissed. Sweet day for the Lurker

Their crew was unstoppable

Not everything is a good idea

The Lurker is officially behind experimenting with your food. For intsance hummus and vanilla wafers aren't bad together but a Nuggetini?  EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Tomorrow may be our turn

As a kid the Lurker watched the old movie The Time Machine numerous times. I always loved the stop action scenes showing the changing of fashions through time. Below is a cool video of the recent snowstorm over time. Unfortunately there isn't any soundtrack but totally worth the watch. Oh also the tree in the back right is like a giant frightening spider.

anyone near this?

I'm offering a reward for the first person who shows up with at least a 25 foot ladder to the well off of rt. 322 and Sugarsbridge Rd. My friends won't come because they think i'm joking. I'm definitely NOT... I have water but have not eaten in two days.

Reward is negotiable depending on how quickly you get here. And FYI to the kid that threw rocks down the well at me yesterday evening, I'm going to find you and do terrible thing to you.

This may be the Lurker's new favorite shirt

Check here for others.

Greasy marks on the mirror

Found this on Boing Boing and had to put it on. A wonderfully funny add for the store Ugly Furniture.

Gives me palpitations just watching it

Seriously this is the reason I go through hundreds of old VHS and Betamax. You just never know what will be on the next  tape. Below is the only amateur copy of the Challenger lift off. Just wow. 

PS if you have access to tapes let the Lurker know

That cat is a bitch

I fall usually on the side of cats but seriously that dog needs to whap that darn cat

Sarah Palin has a potty mouth

The Lurker is mostly ambivalent towards Howard Stern. This her book being remixed. It is definitely NSFW.

Just plain brilliant

If you are worried about losing your camera follow this guys advice. 6

And now for a bear dancing

I have nothing more to say about this.

The Lurker loves Jonathan Coultan

Here is some strange clip that I came across of Jonathan Coulton and a monkey. 

When you are finished watching that listen to Code Monkey. This is Mrs. Lurker's favorite. 

	Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey
	Found at skreemr.com

You gots a purty mouth

Her mouth becomes unhinged? WTF? Is she a snake? 

Part 1 of Jon Stewart and O'Reilly

Unfortunately Bill doesn't seem to want to engage. Instead he tries making fun of his speech. Nothing bad just annoying.

A geek's dream and Elvis

In fifth grade we wrote our biography. I wrote that I used to live in a place called Kalamazoo that was famous for one thing. It was the first place Elvis was sighted after his death. He was spotted at a burger emporium. Now it seems they have two things Elvis sightings and the sexiest geek hangout ever. A magical geek workshop open to anyone. I dream of mechanics even though I am not mechanically minded. The chance to try stuff and interact with others to create inventions or experiments sounds like a perfect life worth living. Listen to the story here. 

Tonight

FUN! FUN! FUN!

Tonight is Stewart Vs. O'Reilly. The Lurker was lucking enough to see Jon on Crossfire when it all went down. Let's see what happens this time. There will be two days of interviews. 

You got hold of something there

You know thos crappy photos you se in terrible corporate ads? Not all of them make sense or should have ever been taken. Here is a great site showing off the Awkward stock photos. Oh Also you need to click the photo frame to see them since iStock photos.com pissed and moaned. To the guys running the site keep up lord's work.

A review of Avatar in honor of the Academy Awards

The Lurker hasn't seen the new movie Avatar yet but I watch movie reviews all the time. My personal favorite is from the guys at Spill.com. However this review I came across yesterday beats all of them. It is in two parts totaling about 20 minutes. The narrator sounds like he is a stroke victim with ADD that is angry at the planet. Mix all these together and you have a fantastic review. Give a watch.

All the single Jedis say awwwww

The last line surprised the hell out of me.

You bastard of a Groundhog

As I write this I sit in my darkened office with my sunglasses on. The Lurker can feel the oncoming winter storm in his stupid head. I frankly did not need a rodent with a spotlight to tell me there would be another six weeks of winter. However on Sunday Mrs. Lurker and I did do our civic duty by watching Groundhog Day. Do your part for America as well and watch Mr. Murray.

In honor of the hated hole dwelling ground squirrel I give you an old favorite with some new material mixed in. Enjoy Alan or is it Steve?

I found this pic and loved it but I have no idea why someone would make it. Also if you leave a comment saying that the pic and video are not actually featuring groundhogs I will come to your house and throw up on you. So there.....

Welcome to the end of black history month

The Lurker agrees with Morgan Freeman.

Realized something important

A friend of the Lurker said, not too long ago, that I was the person that talked about poop the most. The Lurker knows parents talk poo concerning their kids however I could only speak about chicken and cat poop. Not thrilling stuff! Anyway today, as I sat on the porcelain throne, I pondered if I was the only person that thinks of the fun factory from PlayDoh when they go. I fear I might be. Do you remember this wonderfully fun device? You squished PlayDoh through the extruder shoot and it would come out in various shapes. The Lurker does not have anything more to add but I do wonder if you dear reader contemplate this as well.

Star Trek Bloopers

The Lurker truly loves bloopers. It makes me feel better about myself.
