Granny’s got a gnome.
Granny’s got a gnome.
The burglar’s on her home.
She’s there all alone.
What’s she gonna doooooo?
The fright he put her throooooough.
When the cops arrived to help her,
The perp was laid out on his back.
Ya know she threw her garden buddy.
The thief got slightly bloody
From her makeshift fairy tale attack.
(Apologies to Aerosmith)
It’s the gripping climax to the movie “Se7en” re-enacted with stuffed animals. If you haven’t seen the movie, skip this because it ruins the ending, and the movie is worth seeing. If you have seen the movie, you ought to check this short film out.
In a bad mood? Maybe shooting stuck figures will help. Here in this game you must shoot many stick figures in an attempt to prevent them from invading your house.
You’d like to date Brooke Hogan, but you don’t know where to begin? This handy guide will… guide you. Isn’t it great that Amazon provides these guides.
OK - it’s a parody of an Amazon guide.
And it’s mostly funny if you’re passing familiar with wrestling.
Great PSA against smoking. I have very little problem with the habit myself, in theory. But in practice it’s pretty nasty to be around smokers. Except, for some reason, my grandmother.
Back on topic, this presents the smoking odds in a slightly more visceral way.
“Japanese car maker Toyota is working with Stanford University in the U.S. and Edinburgh-based company Affective Media to create the car that can read your feelings.”
Once it does that, it tries to help you out with them. In addition, the external lights on the car alert the other drivers to the fact that you’re angry so that they can, I suppose, expect you to drive like a jerk.
“Greetings to the Imprisoned Citizens of the United States. We are Unitarian Jihad. There is only God, unless there is more than one God. The vote of our God subcommittee is 10-8 in favor of one God, with two abstentions. Brother Flaming Sword of Moderation noted the possibility of there being no God at all, and his objection was noted with love by the secretary.”
“Greetings to the Imprisoned Citizens of the United States! Too long has your attention been waylaid by the bright baubles of extremist thought. Too long have fundamentalist yahoos of all religions (except Buddhism — 14-5 vote, no abstentions, fundamentalism subcommittee) made your head hurt. Too long have you been buffeted by angry people who think that God talks to them. You have a right to your moderation! You have the power to be calm! We will use the IED of truth to explode the SUV of dogmatic expression!”
Tee hee. So, when are these people taking over? Be prepared. Use the Unitarian Jihad Name Generator to get your own Unitarian Jihad Name.
“Many who value the separation of church and state have sought an appropriate response to the federally-funded National Day of Prayer, an annual abuse of the constitution. Nontheistic Americans (including freethinkers, humanists, atheists and agnostics), along with many traditionally religious allies, view such government-sanctioned sectarianism as unduly exclusionary.”
Waste your time trying to jump the marbles, removing them one by one as in checkers. The idea is to try to get it down to 1. So far I’ve only gotten it down to 2. Annoyingly addictive.
Ripley's IQ game is great. You could once find these wooden puzzles in almost every restaurant from New England to Florida and I actively searched them out whenever we would stop to eat during family vacations. The back of the pyramid would usually say something like "1 left: master, 2 left: excellent, 3 left: very good, 4 left: good".
I vaguely remembering solving it once or twice but the closest I've gotten today is 3 left. It's always humbling to realize I was better at something thirty years ago than I am now.
I used to have a similar shareware game with many levels - different shapes and different starting points. It was as addictive as Prachka. I sent the guy my shareware payment and he sent a disk with lots more games on it, including a silly one called Desert Trek, and some very good games that I don't recall the name of. I should look him up, because I'd like to play some of those games again.
Mike informs me that he got it down to 3 without using diagonals, which is pretty damn good in my book.
Just so that people know, diagonal jumping is allowed. But I spent at least 20 minutes on it and still couldn't do better than 2 with diagonal jumping.
