Ninja Pajamas, and other good things.

So, I was going to hold off on this for a bit, and just pick out the juiciest bits from my longer stomping grounds, but I realized that I need to get as much as possible on this page in the moment that I think of it, or it runs a serious risk of never getting done. So, here's the short list of the long pages that I've mentioned many times. All very good.

Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About- Begins with a German Gal and and English Chap and a kiwi, ends with exploded sausage, with all sorts of strange things betwixt. At about 50,000 words (on one page!) this involves a serious time investment, but is well worth it. Ineviteably, there's a book, and I've read it, and it's different from the webpage, but good. For those of you who wonder if there is anyone out there as completely insane as I am, well, Margret comes close. You simply MUST sign up for the newsletter, because Mil has stopped updating the page.

Holy Crap, that reminds me of Ada rating: 4.5/5
Time Investment: As long as you have. Days, even.
Shelf life: Store bite sized portions in separate text files, read as often as you like. Will stay funny with proper handling for 3 - 5 years.


The Brunching Shuttlecocks - Extensive, witty, pithy, funny, clever, and as is the way with most extensive, witty, pithy, funny, and clever things, is now closed for business. However, they leave up their archives which means you escape the disappointment of returning to find that it still. hasn't. been. updated. The best thing that comes to mind is the ratings, with "Things you find in an airline catalog" I and II. Look for your Mr. T nickname generator, the "Porn Star or My Little Pony?" quiz, and the seven deadly sins rating. Furthermore, it is ripe with obscure words, and you can use the search feature to zing around finding said words in different things. Favorite: Pleh. Inevitably there was a book, and I read it, and it was a rehash of the website with very little new material. Boo. The folks who brought you the original genius of brunching have moved on to produce less of the good stuff and more of the lame stuff with the exception of Lore Brand Comics of which every other one is funny. I'm somebody's fetish.

I wish I had thought of that rating: 4/5
Time Investment: 5 minute quickies or a very, very long afternoon
Shelf Life: Best served on an annual basis, add beer liberally if content does not appear funny.

OddTodd - Flash cartoons about being laid off. The first one is a 4.5/5 but they decline from there. The good news is that for the most part, his "Happenings" and "Movie Reviews" are fresh and funny. Good for passing boring conference call time. Warning: on or around holidays there is usually annoying background music which can affect your SFW rating if you have your speakers on.

Likelihood you will begin to say mon-ay, cook-ay, and coff-ay factor: 4/5
Time Investment: 5- 10 minutes per cartoon, 5 minutes per short essay
Shelf Life: Sorry, folks, much like shrimp scampi, enjoy it the first time around. Luckily, he updates regularly.


Cockeyed - How much is inside ramen? Shaving cream? Paper Towels? Toothpaste? How would you go about dressing up in banana skins? As California? As Jenga? as Paparazzi? What can you use 812 ketchup packets for? Which way do you go to buy two and get one free? Answers to all of these questions and more brought to you by Robert Cockerham. I call him "my friend Rob" even though I've never met him, because we emailed a bunch and I've been on the far fringes of a few pranks. Basking in reflected glory, I know. This site is very photo rich and very detailed, so adjust your SFW/NSFW settings accordingly.


Amazing amount of self-discipline in the face of relatively inconsequential activities factor: 5/5 (and I mean this in a good way)
Time Investment: You will get sucked in to at least an hour.
Shelf Life: Always fresh, always fantastic! Much better eating than Toast in a Jar and cheaper, too!
