Blog & Roll: The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

A hilarious collection of fictional words. Example:

ambedo
n. a kind of melacholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life, a mood whose only known cure is the vuvuzela.

Bring It On 2010!

At any rate, it's like Obama after Bush. 2010 can't possibly be worse than 2009. It can't. It just can-not.

Yes We Can!

Speaking of performances, Improv Everywhere is always amazingly inventive and entertaining. Check this out:

I find it pretty amazing that some of the shoppers act like absolutely nothing's going on!

LEGEND!

Blog & Roll Friday: Overheard In New York

Bonjour all,

Today's featured blog is Overheard In New York, and it's been around for years, so some of you should already be familiar with it.

For those of you who aren't, the title gives it all away. The blog reproduces snippets of conversations overheard all around New York, most of which are ridiculous and hence ridiculously funny.

A sample post:

Guess What Peewee's Word Of the Day Is?

Ditzy white girl standing in line: Ugh. It's, like, so much effort to get fresh produce.
Ditzy friend #1: I agree! Should we abort?
Ditzy friend #2: Yes! Abort!
Ditzy friend #1: Abort!
Ditzy friend #3: Abort!

P.S. I may be moving Blog & Roll feature to another day from next week onwards, due to scheduling needs.

ZOMG!

Hello you sexy things!
I'm sorry there's been a short lag on the blog. I've been busy helping out friends do a very challenging Melbourne Puzzle Hunt. The puzzles aren't in any way easy. In fact, they are quite-literally mind-numbing (you can try them for yourself), so I've devoted most of my cerebral energies to that cause, and I'm pretty sure I've already lost 3% of my grey matter. It doth maketh me feel stupide, thif Puzzle Hunte.

But fret not. By Friday the Hunt will be over, but in the meanwhile, enjoy the video below. I still can't believe it's for real.



P.S. Welcome back Ash!

There's Nothing Like A Dame!

This never fails to crack me up.

Thank you for making me laugh.
