Crossover Procrastination

Dear Jennifer,

I know you love the Mario Bros games as much as I do. Someone's gone to the trouble of bringing Mario a few new friends to the original game. I will never get any work done ever again.

PLAY MARIO AS MEGA MAN!

Disturbingly postable

Dear Jennifer,

Do you like Winnie the Pooh? Do you like Xenomorphs? How about a combination of the two, with a little Predator cameo to boot?

This storybook crossover is just one of many disturbingly entertaining cartoons on the Godxillary site. (Yes, this picture is of Tigger operating a powerloader)

ALIEN VS POOH

A bit of whimsy for your day.

Un tour de Manège from Les Manèges on Vimeo.

Dear Meredith:

For this Friday, enjoy this charming little animation!

Almost as good as his beer can chicken.

Dear Meredith:

Christopher Walken may be a tad creepy, but he is amazing and a god amongst men. Here, he performs Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." Enough said.

I would kill for an In and Out near me.

Dear Meredith:

Stuck as you are at work, I know that sometimes you have questions about where to eat. Wonder no longer - use this handy-dandy flowchart to help you decide! Just make sure to order some fries for me.

Where should I eat, fast food edition

Would you see these movies if you knew what they were really about?

Dear Meredith:

Everything has two sides. Take a gander at this list of movie plot summaries, but told from a slightly different (yet equally truthful) point of view.

For example:
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: Woman with gold-digging mother nags wealthy man into marriage.

Well, it is the truth.

Uncomfortable plot summaries

Awesome

Dear Jennifer,

Consider yourself rolled.

CAD comics

Now, just add some butter...

Dear Meredith:

I don't know if you're as addicted to the Food Network as I am, but surely you've heard of Paula Deen. Now, imagine Paula Deen pole dancing. The resulting monologue would surely be awesome.

Pole dancing with Paula Deen, y'all!

Pew Pew Pew!

Dear Jennifer,

Make a rocket-pack wearing squirrel shoot lasers on your computer screen!
...I can't tell if it does anything else...

SHOOT LASERS!

Almost as good as the reviews on "How to boil water" on Epicurious.

Dear Meredith:

No, I'm not suggesting that you go buy this hideous shirt. I am suggesting, however, that you read the THOUSAND+ AWESOME REVIEWS of this shirt.

The Mountain Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve Tee

Bear-dorable

Dear Jennifer,

I am currently bored. Therefore, I am going to look at adorable renderings of bears who are embodying pop culture references. I could click on this for hours...and just may do exactly that. (Thanks to Oscar for the find!)

Bears!

Bump bump bump!

Dear Meredith:

Don't bother looking for the rules for this game, because they're not posted on the website. You're supposed to figure it out for yourself. Perhaps infuriating at first, yes, but omfg, does this game quickly become addicting.


Gimme Friction Baby

Some days, I'd really like to bring back the written word.

Dear Meredith:

Email is great and all, but I do love hand-written notes. At this website, check out old mail from both famous and not-so-famous people - but all fascinating pieces of correspondence.

Letters of Note

Can one ever be too old for Sesame Street?

Dear Meredith:

Jake Gyllenhaal + Sesame Street = AWESOME.

Acronym Chicken Soup

Dear Jennifer,

I don't know if I approve of this happy, fluffy, positive website, but who am I to decide? This is the polar opposite to FML, and it's called IMMD (It Made My Day). People write in talking about how something wonderful happened to make their day. Aw, shucks.

IMMD

Almost as good as Martha Stewart.

Dear Meredith:

I adore Pink Martini (the band, not the drink! But, hm, is it actually a drink?). I know the holidays are over, but watch the bandleader, Thomas Lauderdale, present some tips for setting a holiday table. You have to love someone who incorporates maracas into his decor. Useful for any time of year, I'd think.

The blood splats are a nice touch.

Dear Meredith:

Pretend you are a goose. Pretend you are a goose on a mission to fly over the world and collect other geese so that you can fly in V formation. But beware! Don't hit any manmade aircraft!

Don't blame me if you do nothing productive with the rest of your Friday.

Endless Migration

Next step: incorporate a free drink coupon.

Dear Meredith:

I've been doing a lot of flying lately, and yes, boarding passes are Such A Joke. They are often ugly, and worse - incomprehensible. Which is my boarding time and which is the time the flight actually takes off? What is my seat? Oh, the questions! Here, a graphic designer takes it upon himself to redesign the boarding pass.

Definitely make sure to click on the links to Dustin Curtis's experience. Totalyl worth reading, in part to see what a big effed up corporate mess American airlines are.

Freudian analysis for the font set.

Dear Meredith:

I know, I love my fonts in a way that borders on total typogeekishness. But, have you ever stayed up late at night wondering what kind of font you were? Wonder no more!

I am perpetua titling light, in case you're interested, someone who prefers "shoe-d stability to barefoot liberty." Totally. Do you know the diseases you can get walking around barefoot?

(Note: the password is "character")

What type are you?

Random sampling of geek

Dear Jennifer,

I believe you and I will have different reactions to a website known as Geekologie. I will laugh, and every so often say "Hmmm, that's kind of cool," while you will laugh loudly and long throughout. I have to say, one of my favorite blog posts is about the Mystery Science Theater 3000 vision glasses. This is a good site to occupy the mind when one should be doing other things.

Craigslist being put to good use

Dear Jennifer,

Why are assholes so hilarious? Dr. House, Barney Stinson, they're awesome!

As someone who pushes the buttons of people who advertise on Craigslist, this guy definitely fits in with the Dickbag Group, and we all get to enjoy the results.

EMAILS FROM AN ASSHOLE

This about sums it up
