Wasting Time Volume 23


So the Lurker has discovered a new addiction, going through videotapes looking for randomness. It started out wonderfully looking though video after video and finding that 75% of the videos that were blank turned out to be porn. Not even the good kind but 70's porn. The type that makes you want to gouge your eyes out. However some of the videos were great and one of them was viewed 11,000 times. This has only reinforced the addiction and now the Lurker is seriously hooked. Click here for all the videos.

So The Lurker has two questions for those reading this. Where can I get more videos and what can I do with all of these videos when I am finished. Think of a craft project then leave a comment.

Oh ya the photo. Mr. and Mrs. Lurker were lurking through the large trash and we found that fantastic picture.

This will make you smile

Wasting time volume 22


Well ladies and gentleman another week has passed and it is time to do some wasting of time. However this is not a lite and happy post. This is one of intrigue and suspicion. You see some time ago the Lurker had attended a fest, a party if you will, and a discussion of Carvel Ice Cream came up. We did a little frivolous searching and watched some wonderful old videos. It was all a good time until the party took a dark and foreboding tone. Possible murder, greed, and mystery was suddenly revealed to us all.
Today the Lurker brings you the usual fare but he brings you the case of Tom Carvel.

To begin Carvel Ice Cream stores has been a staple in the northeast for just about ever. You would walk into the stores and walk out with a ice cream cake in the shape of a whale. The commercials were even more campy. You would see some floating cake with a hideous voiceover and then you would hear the gravely voice of Mr. Carvel.
According to the wiki entry he was possibly murdered. I reprint the text below:

Tom Carvel died in Pine Plains, Dutchess County, New York in 1990 and is buried with his wife Agnes in an outdoor grave in Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, which is only a couple of miles away from the spot where he began selling ice cream in 1929.
Pamela Carvel, a niece of the late Tom Carvel, is not convinced that her uncle died of natural causes 17 years ago in his upstate New York home. She thinks he was slain -- killed because he realized employees had been stealing millions from his company. A private investigator for the niece says the doctor whose name is on Tom Carvel's death certificate has admitted he can't recall signing it -- and the handwriting that appears on another part of the document and explains how Carvel died does not appear to be his.
Pamela wants to have Carvel's body exhumed for a posthumous autopsy.
Pamela and other relatives have long suspected Tom Carvel was drugged or suffocated by someone he thought was stealing money from him. His death sparked a complex and still-pending battle over his estate, stemming largely from questions about money Carvel had earmarked for donation to children's charities. Pamela Carvel suspects an untold amount was stolen instead of going to those charitable causes.
As one might expect when there are millions of doll
ars involved, the charges and countercharges through the years have included accusations that Pamela Carvel was herself trying to steal from the Carvel estate after her uncle's widow, Agnes, died in 1998.
Pamela Carvel says his death occurred one day before he had planned to fire two veteran employees he had suspected of stealing from him. Her uncle died as she was heading back to New York at his behest to help investigate how he suspected his ice cream empire was being systematically embezzled.
While the timing of his death was suspicious, it took a back seat to the family's grief. No autopsy was performed, and Tom Carvel was buried at Ferncliff Cemetery in Westchester County.
Subsequently, there were more and more suspicions of financial chicanery and missing money.
Carvel's estate is said to be worth about $80 million to $250 million.

Spooky!!!! Now for some supplemental information

Commercials
The icon himself Cookie Puss


The new mascot who has a bit of a TUDE'


Now what have we learned? Do not become a millionaire because of ice cream because your workers will kill you. So next time you bite into a crunchy ice cream cake remember the blood is on your hands um....fork...as well.

And now onto our previously scheduled program

Videos

The best video of eating sausages ever...no really

Weng Weng is a badass, Shaft is just a sucka!

Wasting Time Volume 20



Welcome back everyone for number 20. Now today's post has a special goal. A good friend and contributor of the Lurker is graduating this week. So in hopes of sending him off to a school were he can buckle down and really waste some time. Oh, also I can do a little embedding finally. I am not going to do too much so that the page loads faster.
The Lurker


To begin, one of the best valedictorian speeches Seth Macfarlane's Speech at Harvard
Part 1,Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

I hope Nick's father is watching, this could be helpful.


A bit lame but he was young then

OK I am older I know but I have watched this one over and over and I have been laughing the whole time

I found prat fall after prat fall but this one looked real

I feel as though Nick's final project at school was bit tedious frankly

A homeschool graduation

A Freudian graduation

Sometime I get a little nervous too, watch behind the speaker

While Nick waits for his diploma, just a little something to watch for

Nice short graduation speech from the U of M, Some good old Coulter bashing...Nice

Finally a little lesson to send Nick off with


Seriously we at Lurker Industries do wish him well and hope he sends in a hell of a lot more videos so the Lurker has some time to play Lego Star Wars. He has now graduated from a small lurkette to full fledged Lurker with all the power and responsibility that goes with this upgrade.

And now to continue our noble work

Wasting time volume 19


She makes the lurkers picture look tame! If you have no idea who she is then go to Wasting time Volume 18 and watch the first video. Otherwise welcome back. I know this one is a day late and last weeks was a day early. I believe this works out in the end. Also the reason last weeks was early was not through the lurker's diligence but it is owed to the fact that I thought it was Thursday. Thank you all for the comforting letters to remind me of this fact.
Enough about all of this lets waste some time.
To start off enjoy this wonderful pun. The Lurker had a wonderful laugh!

" I Know nothing!" Schultz, Hogans Heroes


I know I don't usually post about articles but this one got me. I will give you the gist and you can read the rest if you want. Wired reports a new military regulation pretty much killing off blogging for soldiers. This all includes contractors and most awesome of all the soldiers families. So the only bit of real info from real people on the ground is being shut down. Our military helping you sleep better by keeping the war as quiet as possible. Ya know so it doesn't disturb your sleep or anything. For the complete article click here.

The picture is from worth1000.com and unfortunately I do not remember the artist.

Wasting Time volume 18

Welcome back! I am hoping this post is a lot longer with some good junk to waste time to. I got some feedback from people saying they were disappointed in the amount of things they actually got done so I apparently need more to get your productivity down.

Hope this one is more to your liking

Wasting Time volume 17

This will be a shorter post. The lurker has had to spend too much time not lurking and keeping up appearance in the real world. BOO! REAL WORLD!!!


To see some pics from the lurkers weekend check here. The lurker is of course missing in the photos because he was a lurkin'. Oh also Mrs. Lurker has requested that an upcoming post should be for our green conscience friends. SO from here on all post will be made from recycled blogs from other sites.

Wasting time volume 15


Welcome Back everyone. Another week and has gone by and it is time to waste more of your time you do not have. The lurker likes this look and will try to keep it up if possible. Yesterday was the lurkers birthday and he celebrated it properly by attending a meeting with Mrs. Lurker at the town hall. Some might say the lurker was loud and annoying when he should have only been quietly lurking in the back and unfortunately he made it into the local rag of a paper. So much for the being the nonentity in the corner. Oh well enjoy and lets all get less done. Oh and send some stuff in. There is so much time wasting going on it is unbelievable.

The New Wasting Time 14

Why new? Well because I thought I might organize this stuff by category. However I only did two of them. So please leave a comment and tell the lurker if you like this setup versus the old setup before I do real work. Also I want to do a post of only audio that you can get for free and legal. I know this is not usually one of my concerns but there is some great stuff out there and they are giving it away. Please email or post a comment. Oh and keep the submissions coming.
And now for something completely different.

Um OK…big black balls…of fun…Totally safe for work

This blog is wonderful. Great pictures of toys that should not exist. The lurker is impressed. Hopefully the Pics work

The return of the 13th volume

OK, I was driving home in a foul and depressed mood because I could not get this thing to work but because of a strange growling man in a tan car and a bowl of oranges I realized I had let it win. So with much nashing of teeth and oatmeal cookies the deed is done. However for the time being no more embedded videos until they fix the glitch.

One last thing when I and Mrs. Lurker were at our local large purveyor of food stuffs we found an intersting pairing.
and now the delayed post!!!


Welcome back to the 13th installment of Wasting your time. Before I begin I would like to thank Jonathan and Pete for sending in goodies. Please if you have weirdness I will take it. Oh and the usual shameless plug, if you click on an advertisement I will give a large percentage to myself. In fact I will give it all to me and Mrs. Lurker. Happy wasting of time.

I have watched this countless times and it kills me.

Guns kill people but what do pants do?

Now two great tastes that are great together, Star Wars and Elvis

I know what you are thinking. But why?

A nice bit of comedy

Organ puns on T-shirts, finally.

Oh those healthy incredibles

I know I have done a lot here on evolution but I did not know Darwin had a posse

An oldie but a goodie

Internet Safety tips...beware

Another rather uncomfortable dating page. I love when he explains how he came up with his username

Chuck Norris is a bad ass, the video.

The big-time video for Obama about Hillary done spoofing the original Apple ad. This really well done and I even love the edited in iPod.

Fox news interesting banners

This is one to watch a couple of times. Look for the people getting out. Winter sucks


And you think my photo is creepy

A magician that leaves you hungry for more. I like tag lines that sound like bad news anchors on TV

You are at home confused and wishing there was a higher place to ask for direction, try this!

Just a nice montage of News mistakes

It aint no thing..oh wait yes it is.

Very nice ad campaign

I had to go and they were watching

I have not watched the whole thing because I started to lose hearing. I don't have a clue what it is about.

And speaking of going, bring a journal to write what you see.

Stop your jibber-jabber

For all the friends getting married this summer, click here first.

Nice bit of animation about a door

This has been around for a while but it is the future of ordering pizza
