Combover?
Okay. It says "FAIL" right there on the picture, but I have to disagree. This is clearly a "WIN" of the most awesome kind. Do you know why? The other side of that "easy listening" sign says "DEATH METAL"!

Inside a Birdhouse
You think it's just a tiny little house with a hole for a door, but is it really?

Bud the Cowboy
A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd, in a remote mountainous pasture in California, when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?”
Bud looks at the man,obviously a yuppie,then looks at his peacefully grazing herd, and calmly answers, “Sure, Why not?”
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location, which he then feeds to another NASA satellite,that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email, on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives his response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.”
”That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?”
“You’re a Congressman for the U.S. Government”, says Bud.
”Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”
“No guessing required.” answered the cowboy. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. ……
……Now give me back my dog!”

The smiley face emoticon. It's really a powerful thing, and many people use it improperly. I am pleased to say that I have been using the smiley to it's full potential for many years now.

William Shatner: Rocket Man
In 1972, Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote "Rocket Man" and it became a hit.
In 1978, William Shatner performed "Rocket Man" for the Science Fiction Awards.
In 2001, Stewie Griffin performs a near copy of William Shatner's performance for an episode of Family Guy (Episode titled "And the Weiner is..." if you want to see it). I always wondered about the inspiration for that one...
Sometime in 2007, Shatner's performance is uploaded to YouTube.
Finally, this few minutes of pure, unadulterated Cheese falls in my lap. This is the epitome of Cheesy Goodness, folks. William Shatner wins The Internetz... and he wasn't even trying.

I know some people out there are having a bad day, maybe this will make it better!
