Religious Processional Followed by Dark Side of the Force!

FailBlog.org is a great place to go if you want to laugh yourself stupid. Seriously, it usually makes me fog up my glasses, and get the hiccups. This video is typical of the site, and while it may not leave you in stitches, trust me when I tell you, if you go to the site you will get progressively weaker and weaker in your resistance to laughter.

FAIL! PWNED! Do You Get It?

Ah, kids today. You can't ever figure out what they're saying, or what they're up to. With their online gaming and their texting. . .they've invented a whole new language. Which is OK, since every generation has its slang and pet terms. But the bleedover in the internet age can be baffling to the uninformed. So, get informed!

Wall Street Bailout Plan Fails on Capitol Hill

They said they had a plan that would pass. They didn't. While many reasons are bandied about, from the intrusion of Presidential Politics, to Nancy Pelosi hurting the GOP's feelings, I think I have the answer.

Featured Blog: Fail Blog

This really appeals to my inner child. OK, I'm sort of an outer child, but we can't help our senses of humor right? So, Mom, quit bringing up how my brother and sister and I all had the giggles at Grandma's funeral. . .

This blog has a pretty simple concept: ironic or stupid photographs with the word fail. Some are both ironic and stupid. You'll laugh until your inner child throws up.
