Merry Christmas…sh**ter was full!

Dec 7, 2009 by Dan Taylor    22 Comments    Posted under: Humor

Some of you might already know about my love of Christmas films.  I have about 7-8 that I go through during the holiday season, but one always remains the climax: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.  While packed to the hilt with comedic gems, there’s one character, and one scene in particular that always does it for me.  ”Now how about some eggnog, Clark?”

http://www.davezilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/wonder-sauna-hot-pants-lg.jpg – Seriously, who thinks/thought up this shit?

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2008/11/19/google-voice-browser-baffled-by-scottish-accents-86908-20906707/ – having lived in the UK for a year and spoken with a number of North Englanders and Scots, it was only a matter of time before this came to the forefront.

http://www.ridelust.com/road-rage-101-tips-to-piss-off-other-drivers/ – Are you fucking kidding me?  As a seasoned driver of the Belt Parkway, the Long Island Expressway, and the New Jersey turnpike, all I can say is Are you fucking kidding me?  Douschbags.  the rest of the site is kinda cool though.

Fun Photos from Europe

Oct 31, 2007 by Dan Taylor    1 Comment     Posted under: Humor

I found this one on the Märtzstraße the other day. Apparently an enterprising young artist decided that the Bankomat logo: needed a bit of a comic touch.

Der Arnold Apfel

I found this one in Styria, but I’m sure if you look hard enough, you can find them in Vienna as well. It seems as though running one of the greatest states in the US wasn’t enough, and Arnie is now selling apples in a box in Styria. After doing a bit of digging, I found arnoldapple.com.

Now this is all fine and dandy, and who would hold it against him to market his own name in conjunction with some healthy juicy apples? Not me. But here’s the kicker…each apples costs 1 euro (about $1.30)! The funny thing is…I couldn’t get it in the shot, but there was an entire bag of apples (8-10) right next to this display for about 2 Euro 50 cents. Ummm…that had better be one amazing Apple!

Good Ol’ Fashioned

Good to know I can still have an ‘American’ cheeseburger.

Rich with Irony

And speaking of hocking products in Europe…this one was too good to just pass by. Paris Hilton selling cheap ass champagne in a can. WTF? Ok, prosecco is really rather just sparkling wine, but rather ironic I’d say from the girl who denies heavy drinking.

Peter Petrelli is a Woman!?!

Oct 26, 2007 by Dan Taylor    No Comments    Posted under: Humor, News

D’OH! Looks like someone in the props department forgot to give this one the final proof. In the weeks episode of Heroes, we see Peter Petrelli’s passport. Interesting to know his (or should I say her) birthday is December 23rd 1974, but it seems that our friend Peter is really Petra, as his/her sex is listed as F, at least according to Homeland Security (or is it the INS…who the heck issues passports these days?).
Oh well….as we keep finding out that Peter has more and more abilities that we never knew about, perhaps this is one of them as well? In that case, the Irish love interest is in for quite a surprise. Hmmm…perhaps a reverse ‘The Crying Game’?

Top 40 Demotivational Posters

Just one example from the 40 excellent examples of 40 Demotivational Posters you can find here. I suggest sending a few of these to the network printer…and conveniently “forget” to pick them up!

Found Humor – Vienna Edition

Oct 15, 2007 by Dan Taylor    No Comments    Posted under: Humor

So here are just a coupla shots I got in my daily travels through Austria:

Got this one at Ikea in Vösendorf. On our way in to the store, I noticed this guy casually checking out the sofa on sale. I figured, oh, he’s just resting his eyes, no big deal…kinda sounds like a good idea right now. Well…an hour and a half or so later when we exited the store, the guy was still there, fully asleep. I just had to snap this pic. I wonder what time he actually woke up and decided to go home? Note to self; when in need of a comfy place to sleep where you won’t be disturbed…head to the nearest Ikea.

In the same shopping complex (SCS Wien) at the Spar supermarket, I was casually doing the weekly shopping. I’m walking along and minding my own business when this thing jumps out at me. Let’s just put it this way…Tex was not the first thing that my mind thought of. And not just that…but for only 3.99…such a bargain!
