How to Report the News
This is Charlie Booker. He makes a show on BBC 4 called Screenwipe and I think he's just hilarious.
There is a tiny bit of NSFW language, so you may want to put your headphones on.

The Bagpiper
I have a few friends who play the bagpipes, and this joke really tickled my funnybone!
The Bagpiper
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs.
Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back-country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost; and being a typical man I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.
I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.
And as I played "Amazing Grace," the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept and we all wept together.
When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.
As I was opening the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "Son of a gun, I never seen nothing like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Kyle Franklin Comedy Act
Kyle Franklin is not your everyday comedian. He likes to use props in his act. REALLY BIG PROPS!!!
I'd love to see his act in person, but I have the feeling that advertising his appearance would sort of ruin the gag...

Guardian Rock
I found this game late last night and I had to force myself to stop playing and go to bed. I hope you like it!

A Digital Guitar?
I'm not really sure what to make of this, since I'm not a guitar player. It looks neat, but is it harder or easier to play? The sound is different, too. Pretty soon, we'll go into a club to hear a band play and there won't be a "real" instrument on the stage...

Glee in Japan
Ok. You know how some things get lost in translation? Like how we here in America just don't "get" Japanese game shows? Well, it works both ways. Apparently, FOX is making a version of their hit show "Glee" to air in Japan. I just don't get it...

Old Guys
I was in Lowe's the other day pushing my cart around and I collided with a young guy pushing his cart.
I said to the young guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife and I guess I wasn't paying much attention to where I was going."
The young guy says, "That's OK. What a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate.
I said, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?"
The young guy says, "Well, she is 24 years old, tall, with blond hair, big blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she's wearing tight white shorts, a halter top and no bra. What does your wife look like?"
I said, "Doesn't matter --- let's look for yours."
Most of us old guys are helpful like that.
Typewriter Tap Dancing
No, it's not a dancing typewriter, it's the musical number "Too Marvelous for Words" from the 1937 movie "Ready, Willing, and Able" with Ruby Keeler and Lee Dixon. The choreographer was definitely thinking out of the box with this one!

Office2010: The Movie
Microsoft has gone to great lengths to entice you into buying the newest version of Microsoft Office in 2010. They almost won me over, but the thought of learning a new Word program is just too much for me to handle!

Geek in Training

This is my son. He's 2 and he LOVES playing computer games. This is him playing World of Warcraft on Daddy's computer. He knows how to move the characters around, and he knows what several keys do when he presses them. At this rate, he'll have his own account by the time he's 3!
True Southerners
1. Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption, and that you don't "HAVE" them, --you "PITCH" them.
2. Only a true Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens,peas, beans, etc. make up "a mess."
3. Only a true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."
4. Only a true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in: "Going to town, be back directly."
5. All true Southerners, even babies, know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl on the middle of the table.
6. All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
7. Only a true Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. (If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'!)
8. Only true Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be one mile or 20.
9. Only a true Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.
10. No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
11. A true Southerner knows that "fixin'" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
12. Only a true Southerner knows that the term "booger" can be a resident of the nose, a descriptive, as in "that ol' booger," a first name or something that jumps out at you in the dark and scares you senseless.
13. Only true Southerners make friends while standing in lines. We don't do "queues", we do "lines," and when we're "in line," we talk to everybody!
14. Put 100 true Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage.
15. True Southerners never refer to one person as "y'all."
16. True Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
17. Every true Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that redeye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
18. When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin' .. ," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
19. Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it - we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.
20. And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way.
