A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, called Disney's Hollywood Studios, was something called "Star Wars Weekend." Yes, there was a little dancing. And yes, in costumes. Yes, Star Wars costumes. Prepare youself:

Dumbest Game Ever June 19, 2009 9:01 AM | permalink

It's perhaps America's saddest pastime: web-based video games. And we found the dumbest, most irritatingly boring of them all. It's called "Go Right" on Adult Swim. No vibrating wireless control. No accelerometer. Nope, just the familiar old right arrow key, the fun "p" button, and the slender "space bar." And all you can do is travel -- to the right -- on a flat plane and skip over the occasional meatball. It's the dumbest thing ever... but oddly comforting, like meatloaf or loose meat sandwiches themselves. It's literally about as fun as scratching your your itchy skin.

Enjoy!

The Resurrection of the Cheesuses May 19, 2009 4:46 PM | permalink

Another Cheesus was discovered Tuesday, this time in Dallas.

The Jesus-shaped Cheetos snack was found by Dan and Sara Bell, who say they will probably try to sell their iconic snack on eBay. Cheessus appraisers predict it will fetch a modest price at auction due to having just one arm and the sagging economy; estimates for the piece range from the sub-one-dollar range to three dollars. The Bells say they may end up eating Cheesus if the bids are too low.

Here's a handy photo gallery of other Jesus-shaped things and stuff.

And here's our favorite Cheesus from Dumb as a Blog, along with the Talking Holy Salami

What's the solution to the enraging problem of rodents on your property? Pump propane and oxygen into their burrow and blow them up with The Rodenator!

Literally feel the the earth move under your feet. As the company's CEO notes, the "enormous underground concussive force" collapses the burrows and underground tunnels made by animals in your yard or farm. Furthermore, he suggests, it's more about the principle: you're using violence to solve problems, and that is satisfying.

That's My Chevy! April 8, 2009 12:37 PM | permalink

These Chevelles are pretty uncommon, so if you're stealing one don't just list her on Craigslist -- because the owner might come a-knocking.

That's the lesson 19-year-old William P. Jones III (below) learned earlier this week in Palm Beach after allegedly stealing a 1970 Chevy Chevelle then posting an ad for it on Craiglist. It didn't take long for the owner -- and the police -- to find it.

Jones was arrested for grand theft auto and other charges.

You'd think with all those roman numerals after his name Jones would exhibit a little more smartitude.

Ohio So Nice Even Robbers Make Change? March 25, 2009 5:58 PM | permalink

People in the Buckeye State are such a pleasant lot that it seems even the bandits mind their manners.

Take Michael Rouckes (pictured), a 60-year-old who put a Cincinnati man he knew in a headlock, stuck a gun to his head and then robbed him of $50, according to police in North College Hill, OH.

Here's the nice part: when Rouckes realized his victim had given him $10 more than he was seeking, police say he tried to return the ten bucks. The victim refused to take the money, which seems like it might have been a tad awkward.

Who knows, maybe even thieves know to lower prices in a recession.

Rouckes was charged with aggravated robbery.
