One of my roommates and I went to Ann Arbor yesterday to go to a comedy club.  We went a few hours early so we could wander around for a while and take in the sights of the city.  It’s a pretty artsy little place with tons of hippies floating around; I was obviously not a huge fan of this feature.  It was a good time though, and it was nice to get out the apartment for a while.  The opening comic was really good; probably the best that I’ve seen live.  The main act wasn’t as good though.  He tried to play off the crowd too much, and it didn’t work out too well.

 The best part of the day though was, as usual, a random event we witnessed.  We were walking down the sidewalk, and we happened to pass by this theater where they were filming some video for a skit or something.  We never figured out what it was for.  Anyway, this limo was supposed to pull up in front of the theater, and a guy was supposed to get out to meet his screaming fans.  When the limo pulled up, it slammed into the back of a mail truck that was parked in front of it.  The funny part was that there was a guy in front directing the limo driver, and when it hit the truck, he was still signaling that the limo had a foot left.  At this point, I just start cracking up as you do when you see somebody make a fool of themselves.  My roommate was chuckling a little, but trying to hide it.  I decided not to care and just laughed as loud as I could.  This in turn earned me some nasty looks from the other people standing around, but I didn’t care because it was just so hilarious.

This was passed along to me by Jordy after I’d seen a similar, shorter version posted on /..  It’s pretty damn funny…and pretty damn sad.

As you well know, I’m a big fan of Penny Arcade.  It’s comics like this that keep me coming back.

I saw this great shirt the other day. On the front, it said “University of Akron Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering”. On the back, it said, “When the numbers are imaginary….so are the girls.”

It’s sad, but true….

Here’s a couple great videos I saw today. Stephen Colbert is the man. And I now like Steve Bridges, too.

[Edit:] God damn it. As much as I usually like WordPress, it pisses me off sometimes too. It won’t let me embed videos in the page for some reason. I’ll have to play around with it more. For now, here is a link to the first and here’s a link to the other. Watch them both if you’ve got time.

I was walking back from class today and this funny thing happened.  One of the sidewalks I take back here is pretty small.  You could pretty easily fit two people on it, but three is pushing it.  Basically, I was walking about 10 feet behind this guy who was coming up to two girls walking his direction.  They were walking side by side and so were taking up the whole sidewalk.

Well, when this kid gets to them, it was obvious they were expecting him to walk off the sidewalk so both parties could pass, but he didn’t.  He just walked straight and basically smashed into one of the girls.  She tumbled over and they both started screaming at him.  They were yelling stuff like, “Don’t you look where you’re going?”, “What’s wrong with you?”, etc.

What made it the most funny to me was that he basically didn’t raise an eyebrow.  As calmly as could be he explained, “Yes, I saw exactly where I was going.  However, I feel I’m as entitled–if not more so–to this half of the sidewalk as you are.  You obviously weren’t going to move so I decided I wouldn’t either.  I guess we saw who won that one.”  And then he just walked away.  The girl he crashed into almost started crying.

Needless to say when I passed them, she moved out of the way.  It was great.  I wish I could watch it again.  The thing is too, I definitely agree with him.  I’ve always thought it was ridiculous when people just assume I should be the one to move because they’re talking to a friend.  Fuck that, I should get my half of the sidewalk too.

I had to post this comic when I saw it. Aside from the Oblivion stuff, I think it’s straight out of a couple conversations Al and I have had. Haha, I always wanna go to IHOP.

This cartoon taken from www.redmeat.com. You should check this site out, if you don’t already. The cartoons are all really funny. I originally had it at the column width, but I couldn’t read the text so I made it the original size.

My electromagnetics professor was making excuses today about why his lecture was so bad. He explained that his wife was up late last night working on a paper for her PhD which was due at midnight. It seems that she needed his help because she wanted someone to bounce ideas off.

Then he starts stammering about how they just didn’t want to go to bed after that. “You know…when your work on something…you just don’t want to go to bed…” They were apparently up until 2:30 “doing other stuff.” He never did specify what it was they were doing, but I thought it was pretty obvious.

I happened to catch this over on /. and just thought it was hilarious. Basically, H&R Block messed up their state taxes by something like $32 million. Heh. For some reason I doubt they’ll mention that in their commercials.

Watch the Video

I have only gotten this video to work in IE. Fyi, it’s not porn; it’s from the Daily Show.

…and the late night talk show hosts have something to say.

I just got a great laugh from the Chuck Norris Facts website. I don’t know if it’s really as funny as I thought it was or if I was just in a laughing mood. Either is equally possible. Just remember…the chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

I usually do not remember my dreams very well, but I had one last night that I don’t think I’ll forget anytime soon. One of my roommates had somehow managed to hook up with Lacey Chabert. For some reason, they came in really late (from break, I didn’t know they were dating), and I happened to be going to the bathroom or something because I ran into them. I didn’t really notice what was going on at the time. At this point, I should probably throw in a picture:

It’s also important to point out that this particular roommate is pretty nerdy looking. He’s a really nice guy though. He also has a tendency to pick out girls who are, well, less than spectacular looking.

I woke up the next morning and found my other two roommates watching TV in the living room. I went in and started talking to them about the previous night’s events:
“I could have sworn I saw [roommate] come in with Lacey Chabert last night.” [me]
“Who’s Lacey Chabert?”
“She’s an actress. She was the girl in Not Another Teen Movie who gives the nerdy kid a hand job for the note.”
“What? And she’s here w/ [roommate]?” (The other roommate and the girl walk in behind me.)
“Yeah, I know. She’s really freaking hot. I don’t really know how he pulled it off. I think I was imagining things.” [me].

So I managed to make a fool of myself even in my own dream. Wow. Actually though, it didn’t turn out to be as awkward as I thought it would be. They were both pretty cool about it. And it turns out Lacey Chabert is really nice. I always thought she would be stuck up. She says that she liked [roommate] because he treated her so well. So there’s a moral to this story. Be nice, and good things will happen to you.

I omitted the roommate’s name because I didn’t think it would be nice to talk about him in such a public forum.

Yes, it’s true.

You can find it here.

This one is pretty funny too.

Edit: While you are at it, look at this one too.
