This is the coolest thing EVAR!!!
It's an interactive photo hunt that you play on YouTube.
It was created by Joe Sabia and makes use of the annotation feature Youtube offers.
Even if you aren't a fan of the subject matter (2009 Oscar Nominations), the game is worth playing!
Just press play and go from there!

How many times have you been watching a music video and realized that the song has absolutely nothing to do with what you are seeing?
It's not just you. The last few months, "(Insert Song Name Here) - The Literal Version" is all over YouTube. Sometimes with hilarious results. Sometimes, unfortunately, they fail in an epic sort of way.
Here are 7 of the best and worst, including the one that started it all!
A-Ha Take On Me - The Literal Version
This is the one that started this whole phenomenon. A dude named DustoMcNeato made this one, and inspired all the others.
Now for the good.
There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.
- Doctor Who
The Zoological Society of London put together a video celelbrating all the baby animals born at ZSL London and Whipsnade Zoos. It's so sweet, my teeth hurt!
How cute is the little monkey sucking it's thumb?!?!?!
Let's say you are out on Endor fighting your favorite Sith Lord and it starts to rain. Would you be prepared?
You would be if you had this:

Yes, my friends, that is a Light Saber Umbrella! And you can own one for the low price of $40. How cool is that?

Here's a fun little game! You have to help the frozen vikings get to their longboat by breaking the chunks of ice that trap them.

I can't seem to get past level 11. If you figure it out, please let me know how!
This is a slow loris. He is eating a snack. He is very cute and now I want one. Please find one for me!
P.S. - They live in Borneo.

You know, I really like Cracked.com because they always seem to have something that will make me chuckle. Sometimes they make me wonder. And, on very rare occasions, they produce an article which speaks directly to my soul.
This is one of those times.

I was in the service industry for over 10 years. I worked at a fast food joint, a pizza place, and a sit-down restaurant. I was also a cocktail waitress and bartender. Hell, I was even your friendly grocery store checkout girl for a short time. Needless to say, I know customer service.
Obviously, the author of this article was also in the service industry at one point, because he writes with the familiarity that only someone who had to deal with these people on a daily basis would have.
If you've ever served a cocktail, or made a sandwich, or asked "would you like fries with that?", this article is for you.
If you have never spent a day of your life in the service industry, read this article anyway. Look at it as a list of thing NOT to do!
Yeah, I know it was the 70's and they couldn't see the future, but seriously, this is a Fail of Epic Proportions.
Thanks, Mark!
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

So there's ths chick named Debbie Goard and she makes cakes. She made this way cool Hello Kitty Zombie Cake for Sean's wife Kristin (two anonymous people I've never met).

This is a fully functional desk, made out of Legos.

Seriously, all the drawers work and everything!
It's all held together with glue, and it's made entirely out of Lego Blocks.
You can read all the details about the construction (straight from the guy who made it) here.

Get your suit cleaned, your pants hemmed, your boobs squeezed and your boots fixed all in one convenient location!
This is one determined kitty!
I especially like the look of triumph when she finally gets the hang of it!
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

Got the new computer in last night, so if you need me, you can find me here:
There is some NSFW (not safe for work) language, so make sure the boss (or the kid) is out of hearing range.
Just have some fun with that.
BTW- I totally LOVE Freddy Mercury's Rock Star sunglasses. If you come across a pair... well, send them to me.
Ever seen a Billion Dollars?

Now you have.
It's an art project and you can read about it here.

Are you tired of drinking your coffee out of the same boring old coffee mug you've had for years?
Do you need some excitement added to afternoon tea time?
Well, I have just the thing!

WebUrbanist has got a collection of over 20 awesome mugs to spice up your coffee or tea drinking experience. Check them out!
I enjoy a good marching band. That's one reason I like parades so much. Don't even get me started on halftime shows!!! I always wanted to be in marching band, but oddly enough, they don't let you march with a violin.
Now, you take a marching band and add Star Wars to the mix, you get a video chock full of Cheesy Goodnes!
Here are some of my favorites:
Imperial Marching Band
If you are going to try and set the world record for breaking coconuts with your hand, you should practice first.
Chances are, you've heard the urban legend about the Rocket car. Mythbusters even tested the myth on one of their early shows.
Well, it's not just a myth anymore. Rocket cars are out there. So are jet-powered trains... and rocket-powered shopping carts... and this:

Yep. That's a Port-a-potty with a jet engine.
In two minutes!! Can you do it?
Another great mental_floss quiz!

Name The Weasleys in 2 Minutes
I did it in 14 seconds... can you beat me?
I'm getting a new computer!!! It should be here in 3-7 days, so sometime next week, The archives from the old Cheesy Goodness will finally be posted!
Yay, Me!!!
Have you ever wondered why, everytime you poison an ant bed, another one pops up three feet away? It's because those ants have an underground city bigger than your house!!!
I am a huge fan of Jeopardy. I was looking up Jeopardy on YouTube and found a few historic moments I thought I’d share.
First Ever 3-way Tie
This is one of the first games I posted and it's still one of my favorites. It's a helluva time waster, so you may not want to play this at work!!

These people are chasing an 8lb wheel of cheese down a hill. Can they catch the cheese? No, it goes too fast. Does that matter? Of course not.

that the Internet is being lame today. No one has anything worthwhile to look at today. Not even YouTube. The top video in my "Recommended for You" section was a Britney Spears video. Seriously. A Britney Spears video.
Also, since we haven't figured out how to put the archives into this new system in the right place, I'm going pull some of the really good ones and post them. If you've seen them, great, look at them again. If they are new to you, enjoy them. Most important, tell your friends!
Photographer Nick Brandt went to Africa and took some pictures. They are so AWESOME I have no other words with which to describe them. Enjoy!

Do you speak Klingon? Are you tired of not being able to type in proper Klingon? Guess what I found!!!

Geekologie has it for the low price of £43.99!

I don't often post anything political, but Congress is taking over YouTube!
I find this exciting and funny at the same time. I'm excited because Congress is joining the new millenium and reaching out to younger constituents. It's funny, because, well, it's just funny! It's stodgy old people trying to be cool, and that, my friends, is Cheesy Goodness!
When I'm not perusing the Great Big Interweb for all the Cheesy Goodness it has to offer, I am a stay at home mom. I also have a very small kitchen. Right now our recyclng consists of a grocery bag full of aluminum cans and a box full of cardboard and paper stuff. If I had this trash can:

My kitchen would be SO much more organized. OK, my TRASH would be organized. But it's still awesome!
Saturday Night Live hasn't been consistently good since the late 80's early 90's, but every now and then, they present us with moments like this...
I think it helps when they have such legendary guest hosts as Neil Patrick Harris!
Who says you need drugs to have a good time?
The Boston Globe website has a nifty little article about how to trick your mind into hallucinating without actually usung mind altering substances.

This is only one of the many little tricks you can play on yourself. You can even make your nose grow, just like Pinocchio!

I'm talking photography. All the inspiring photoraphy I've come across here on the Great Big Interweb makes me think that I really should take a photography course. Here is the latest crazy awesome image!

This is a six month exposure of Bristol, England made by photographer Justin Quinnell using a pinhole camera made from a soda can!!!
The arcs you see are the different paths made by the sun moving across the sky.
Amazing!!
More on this amazing photo at mental_floss.
Here's a two-fer! YOu know I LOVE the mental_floss quizzes, so today, I bring you:


I did exceptionally well on both quizzes, but I am a Clue junkie.
That's right, folks. There's a new photo blog in town and it's a doozy.

Dogs in Outfits
None of those dogs look happy, either.
I have a friend with dogs, and she occasionally puts them in clothes, but NEVER like this. Poor puppy.

Meatloaf AND Cher! It doesn't get any better then this!!
This was on my "Recomended for You" List. Wonder what this says about me?

Look closely. The dragon is clutching a 20-sided die in his talon!

I think with the new layout, it will work a little better if I have several small posts each day instead of one long one. It will be easier to comment on the different posts, and easier to search through because they will all be categorized. Please be patient with us while the Webmaster and I work out all the kinks!
Oh yeah, if you want to comment, you have to click on the name of the post at the top and it will take you to the comment page! Feel free to comment with any thoughts you have! I really want to read them!
