Funny Images from Around the Net — The Art of Photobombing (a.k.a. Photo Terrorism)

' Photoboming ' , according to urbandicitonary.com , is "intentionally posing in other people's photos, for a later surprise. Usually people making funny faces in the background, without the knowledge of the main subjects of the photo." Personal Experience I remember the first time I was photobombed . It was on a plane ride back to Seattle after my Fall 2005 semester at BYU with Belle. I wanted to capture a memory with an old EFY co-counselor (and the cool pillow that I had rigged to my hoodie so that I could easily sleep on the plane.) 1...2... (all of a sudden, in jumps the gay steward) ...3! The nerves in my head tensed up. Why would he do that?! I HATE that guy, I thought. My anger quickly subsided and I realized how hilarious it was. I will post at least 5 examples of Photobomers in each of the following categories over the next week:  The Creepy Bomb, The Unintentional Bomb, The Multiple Bomb, The Flying Bomb, The Non-human Bomb, ...

The Great Toilet Paper Debate Come to a Close. Again.

I've had some blog followers offering some resistance to my original blog post on the proper way to hang toilet paper . I'm not going to assume that my way is the best way for everyone. But I do feel that it is important for everyone to at least educate themselves on potentially new points of view. Well let me go ahead and put The Great Debate to rest with the following lesson. 'OVERHAND' METHOD And now you know. Next time you have to hang toilet paper, just remember these handy illustrations I put together for your convenience. You don’t want to look like an idiot when company comes over. 'UNDERHAND' METHOD [Behind the back] My sister and her 3 children have a different point of view. When babies, like Shannon, hit the T.P. roll they tend to put their hands on the top and pull toward them to spin it. When they do so, if the T.P. is dressed 'overhand' it will roll the paper out instead of around. If, however, they actually grab onto the loose paper...

Amazing Body Transformation and Sustainability Over 5 Years

The story of John Stone is legendary. In 2003, this man decided to loose his beer-belly and went to the gym. Five years later, after religiously training everyday, it’s difficult to recognize him. John Stone became a real bodybuilder. Every month, during the past 5 years, he took pictures of himself and put them on his blog. Click here to see what desire, hard work and strong will, can do. Observations *It took him a year to make the switch from boxers to briefs. Then he wears the same pair for 4 years running! *He looked happiest just after he had slimmed down and had begun bulking up. Wait! That's right where I've been for the last 10 years! Coincidence? *What do you notice? Read more at Stones Fitness Webpage . I have already posted an entry about a very big man who managed to slim down and to transform his life completely.

Parks and Recreation Review: A Makeover of The Office

Thursday April 9th, 8:30/7:30 -- NBC aired their premiere of a new sitcom called Parks and Recreation . This Office -style 'mockumentary' featuring Amy Poehler [ Hilary Clinton from SNL] and Rashida Jones [ Karen Filippelli on The Office] is painful to watch ; it is exactly like The Office . It normally wouldn't bother me so much if the show were an improvement on the original, but the pilot episode was just sad. Perhaps if I had never seen The Office it might have worked, but no, this one is DOA. Here's their official webpage: CLICK Click here to download the first, trial episode for FREE. Despite being directly confronted in an pre-air interview , Rashida Jones claims that Park and Rec is completely in a new universe from The Office. By the end of the interview, she conceeded that the only real difference was that this show was set in Indiana instead of Scranton, PA. The show seems to copy every aspect of The Office down to the very last detail. Do we...

I Want to BELIEVE (in Aliens)

I've had loved ones tell me stories about seeing UFOs. I like Sci-fi. I already believe in extra-terrestrial beings (e.g., God). How hard is it to believe that they would visit earth? I just haven't heard any compelling stories that make sense to me yet. I'm not down with the whole abduct-and-probe-your-species schtick. But maybe one day I will be introduced to an alien-on-earth scenario I believe. In the meantime, enjoy these bon a fide UFO photos: Hoax? Just a smudge on the negative? Dust? Look on the left. Tambourine? Parking lot light post? Rock or baseball? Spy plane?

Dream Journal: Bad Food & Crumbly Mission Acquaintances (April 8, 2009)

Dream Last night, I dreamed that I was a returned missionary who had recently graduated from college. I was in need of money so that I could finally visit Mexico. To raise the money for my trip I decided to make a documentary film about eating weird things. Not just the typical weirdness; I'm talking about things like: Swallowing chunks of duck's beak inside rice balls, then soaked in sweet and sour sauce. Sucking the hair off of a live tarantula's legs. Chewing jumbo cow colon, barbecued. Sipping on a cold cup of an unknown substance and tastes like despair. Served raw, as it were. The movie was a hit. I made thousands of dollars in the first week while I was getting my travel plans in order. Once in Mexico, I wandered through the countryside, from rancho to rancho, taking in the indigenous atmosphere. As I wandered, I came across an old mission acquaintance. It was a man who raised horses locally with his family. He immediately adopted me and made me...

Funny Images from Around the Net — Top 5 Cakes with Insulting Messages

This one that I received a few years ago doesn't even compare to the ones you are about to see.  Imagine receive a cake featuring s silk screen of your crotch from some girls in your ward. The Real Countdown : 5. ¡Peligro! [Danger!] We made you this beautiful cake, but you can't eat it because it might kill you. 4. Receiving this with a card that says, "We love you grandma." 3. An under-whelming Gesture. 2. Coming home from work to an empty apartment and find this on your kitchen table. The note on the whiteboard says that your roommates are in SLC watching Wicked . They later explain that they didn't buy you a ticket cause they thought "you already had some birthday plans." 1. [Self-explanatory] Do you agree with this order?

Conference Highlights

My favorite Session was the 3rd -- Priesthood : * I enjoyed watching this session with my roommate, Aaron. *We drove to a local stake center and found some cushy seats, front and center. *"Young people speak of the future because they have no past. Old men speak of the past because they have no future." - President Boyd K. Packer *President Packer also recommended carrying the Book of Mormon with you to make it through the especially difficult times. Powerful effect of physical reminders. * Richard C. Edgley - "This is your phone call." He taught that the Church quorum, as a collective, has everything needed to lift fellow quorum members out of unemployment. Quorum members are prepared, organized, empathetic and have charity. *Claudio R. M. Costa [He sounds like Fez from "That 70's Show"] - Priesthood holders have a four-fold responsibility: Family, Employer, Lord's word, Selves -- President Hinckley *Dieter F. Uchtdorf - Told the aviation analo...

Where IN THE WORLD is Waldo?

I found him! He's was on Google Maps on the other side of the world. He's right HERE , on Putney High St, Wandsworth, London SW15, United Kingdom. One University just made the such significantly more difficult. Remember on the last page of the The Great Waldo Search [The Yellow Book] where there were Waldos and red and white paraphernalia all over the place? Yeah. On April 2nd, 2009, the Rutgers University Programming Association (RUPA) and Rutgers Student Life broke the Guinness World Record for The World’s Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Waldo from the iconic picture book series, Where’s Waldo?. 1,052 Rutgers students, staff and community members were spotted “showing their stripes” at the historic State Theatre located in downtown New Brunswick, New Jersey. Rutgers smashed the previous record, set by 577 Acuity Insurance Employees in Sheboygan, Wisconsin at the Acuity Insurance headquarters. My Favorite Waldo Pics : Where's Waldo Pages: Is For FUn.
