Dr. Seuss Does Star Wars

Dear Jennifer,

A wonderful web artist, Adam Watson, has decided to see if he could sketch Dr. Seuss' version of Star Wars. It is a fantastic collection of little drawings. The one of Yoda rhyming about being 900 years old would make for a great birthday card.

Batman's "ODD"yssey

Dear Jennifer,

I'm not sure if you partake in comic book reading much, but Neal Adams has just given you a reason to start. The website Comics Alliance has developed an explanation (as much as is possible) of the totally crazy Batman Odyssey comic series. Their breakdown of the story Bruce Wayne tells to someone about the time he told a story to Robin about a story that he also was in that shows him narrating a story is amazing. This comic reads like nonsensical hilarity in these reviewers' hands.

THE INSANITY OF BATMAN ODYSSEY

Attention, Scientists of Earth

Dear Jennifer,

I have stumbled across what may be the best website on the entire 'net. Not only does the brave Trey Hamburger have much to say about ghosts, aliens and alien ghosts, but also he calls Toys R Us out of the goodness of his heart and demands they stop selling Ouija boards because they are killing people.

GHOSTS/ALIENS

Anything Can Be a Musical

Dear Jennifer,

Singer/Songwriters Jon and Al have a website that collects all of their amazing musical parodies of action and thriller classics like "Silence of the Lambs" and "Predator." Didn't realize that Predator would make an awesome musical? Prepare to be stunned.

IF IT BLEEDS WE CAN KILL IT

Bad bad reviews

Dear Jennifer,

Have you yet discovered the hilariously unhelpful movie reviews on This Is Not Helping? My favorite may be the person who described the film SAVED as "sac-religious."

THIS IS NOT HELPFUL MOVIE REVIEWS

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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

Stay away from my chimney

Dear Jennifer,

I'm sure we've discussed the hilarious existence of "Hunky Santa" at the Beverly Center. But there is something far more important to dish about. And that is this awesome website that collects the scariest Santas on celluloid and junk drive. Check it out.

SKETCHY SANTAS

These pets are not LOL-ing.

Dear Jennifer,

We love to laugh at the adorable pictures of animals on the web, but what if the animals are not laughing along with us? This website shows the inner turmoil of pets who have been forced into cute photos. Is it sick that it's even funnier when the pets are clearly unhappy?

PETS WHO WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES

There isn't possibly enough time for all this procrastination, is there?

Dear Meredith:

Of course, our site isn't the only one that can help you procrastinate. Check out this list of other internet vices, and their quite humorous descriptions.

Internet vices

Bart-crastination

Dear Jennifer,

I don't recall if you are a SIMPSONS fan or not, but every episode always had a very entertaining bit with Bart writing a reference to something terrible he did on a chalkboard at school for punishment. Someone compiled the list!

(from Jezebel's post)

BART'S CHALKBOARD

It's quickly approaching...

Dear Meredith:

As this year starts to wind down, this means that... dum dum dum... next year is the year we turn (GASP!!!) 30. Here's what you can expect as you enter your 3rd decade - thankfully, I finished school. Just in time! But I'm not too sure about this installing storm windows bit..

What to expect: The third decade

I really like the solution of only allowing orphans to enroll.

Dear Meredith:

Oh, this made me laugh so hard. So far, I'm not finding it true, as my students seem to prefer to just not show up whenever assignments are due. Seriously.

The Dead Grandmother/Exam Syndrome and the Potential Downfall Of American Society

If the internet went down...

Cracked.com has a hilarious collection of photos for a recent contest they did asking for images to show what the world would be like if the Internet suddenly went away.

The number one winner is awesome.

THE WORLD OF TOMORROW

Chicken and the Egg Rap Battle

A friend of mine is in a very hilarious show called "Lost Moon Radio" that has new material every three months, and plays on the second floor of an awesome little bar. One of the best sketches on the show was the Chicken v. Egg rap battle (in the style of "8 Mile")

For your listening pleasure, here is the sound file. It is awesome. (R rated, fyi)

Why didn't I know about this before?

Apparently, the TMNT movies were so popular (no surprise there!) that Barbara Walters did an interview with the Turtles when the second film came out. Pretty much makes my childhood complete.
