Web Wednesday (a day late)

Ok, I have been neglectful. I have been busy. Anyway, this web Wednesday I have a fun website that Aubrey and I play on all the time. It is called Sporcle. It is a group of quizzes where you fill in the blank on things. For example, all 50 states, the presidents of the United States, books in the New Testament. There are thousands of quizzes. You may never leave the site, ever!

As we near the 45th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination I have become increasingly interested in the "mystery" surrounding the events. I am usually skeptical when it comes to conspiracy theories, but I have found some convincing things. I was using the source of all truth and knowledge (Wikipedia) to find info on the assassination and I found this article. Naturally, I wanted to see it so I have been watching this series on Youtube. Be warned, the series was produced by the BBC so the FCC has no standing over it. There is talk of a nightclub that Jack Ruby owned which shows some scenes (although in black and white) of the goings on inside the nightclub. Worth some of the info, but when they talk about Jack Ruby and the nightclub, you may want to close the browser window.

I have decided that either I love Tina Fey or Sarah Palin. Obama would do well to have Tina Fey as his running mate. Wouldn't that be fun? Well, for some fun try this one.



Looking at it again, what's the deal with the llama in the background?

Fair is fair. I got this one in my email today labeled "Deomcrats on an escalator." I did search for it's origin and found it is really a Canadian health ad of some sort. Anyway, I really like it so here it is.

Ok, I know it is not the right time, yet, but I wanted to give a heads up. November is National Novel Writing Month. There is even a website for it! Basically you need to write a novel containing 50,000 words in a month (November). If you go to the site and sign up and upload your word count, and you get 50k words, you get a handy little certificate and a warm feeling inside. I will keep you posted on the novel progress as I find time to do it.

Ok, today's post is a little self-serving, but, hey it's our blog so why not self-promote. As some of you know, Aubrey is a Tupperware consultant. We have discovered that with everything she has to do, Tupperware parties seems to come down on the list. That is why we happy to present today's web link of the week. It is Aubrey's Tupperware site. If you have ever wanted Tupperware but don't want to listen to an hour of gossip, this is your chance. All you have to do is click here.

If you don't want a shameless commerce plug, how about something political? Global policies and other things aside, Sarah Palin has some odd names for her kids. They are, Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow, and Piper. With the current controversy as to what to name baby #4 going on in our house, I found a website that will take your real name and generate a Sarah Palin name for you. For the record, I would be known in the Palin household as Khaki Salmon Palin. It is just some good fun when your day goes slow. Also please leave comments as to what your Palin name is.

There is just about a blog for everything. I still love the cake wrecks blog. (See previous post.) Here is one that I am so glad I found. Aubrey will tell you that I get upset about stupid little things, I am glad to see I am not alone. This is the blog of bad parking!

So, enjoy the pictures of people who need to go back to driver's ed, and remember, I make no claims as to the content of any blogs I send the links to.

Another Web Gem

Maybe it's the English teacher in me, maybe I was way tired, but I found this website that made me laugh until I cried. It's call Cake Wrecks. It is a collection of "professional" cakes that have gone horribly wrong. The best part, the spelling errors or the cakes where the idiot cake decorator can't tell the customer's directions from the words they want on a cake. Hilarity ensues. Give it a try, be warned, there is one cake, labeled "Freudian Slip" you may want to avoid.

Ok, I'm blatantly stealing from Brian on that one, but I don't care. I have found some fun stuff on the web to share. Sometimes I will post the link, sometimes the video, others...well, we'll see what happens.

This week's entry is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, a full-legnth musical. It's about 45 minutes so I won't post it here, just a link to watch it. http://www.drhorrible.com/mushortio.html
It stars Neil Patrick Harris, you know, Doogie Howser. I even showed it to Aubrey, and she said it's ok, so it must be, well, ok.

Honestly, I love this movie, I have watched it at least 3 times. You may too. Give it a chance.

Oh, in the spirit of Brian, there are some "questionable" jokes and a little language to watch out for. Officially it's rated TV-14, I think. Use your judgement.

Enjoy!
