Poor Jon.

You need to see this website:  http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Sheer genius. It’s the same comic, but it’s twisted into something completely different than intended.  It’s dark and narcissistically enjoyable.

Update:  sample

I guess I’m a walking stereotype

Today I came accross a blog called Stuff White People Like. The title made me curious so I start reading down the list to find that, yes, I DO like those things. In fact, I really like those things. Okay, this is getting creepy. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

Here are a few on the list that I especially like. I recommend you read these if you have the time.

#116 Black Music that Black People Don’t Listen to Anymore (Yes, I do like old school hip hop & the blues)
#115 Promising to Learn a New Language (I keep talking about wanting to learn Spanish but haven’t done anything about it – beyond sitting and watching univision for an hour – yes, I’ve done that!)
#112 Hummus (Anyone who knows me well knows that I believe hummus is God’s spread.)
#111 Pea Coats (Tyler has owned 2 of these now. I love them.)

Can you see my growing concern? Is he watching me?

#107 Self Aware Hip Hop References (I’ve done this one too – these always crack me up.)
#99 Grammar (Yes, it irritates me when others use poor grammar but I often don’t recognize it when I’s used grammar wrongly. What’s up with that?)
#90 Dinner Parties (yup!)

The list goes on…

Maybe I need to be more original.

Acappella

Here’s something I stumbled across recently.  I believe I’ve mentioned before that the original bass singer from the group Acappella, Rodney Britt, attends our church.  The man has an awesome voice.  This video is definitely 80s and Rodney has hair!  But I still love this song!

Enjoy!  Watch the Video

Chuck Norris

Posted by Sharon | Posted in Made me laugh | Posted on 26-06-2006

In a recent conversation with my Dad the subject of Chuck Norris came up and it brought to mind this old list of little-known facts. Hilarious stuff.

—————————————————————–

*Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

*Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

*Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

*Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK’s head exploded out of sheer amazement.

*Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

*Everytime Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks someone an angel gets its wings. But Chuck Norris hates angels. So everytime an angel gets its wings it also gets a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris.

*Chuck Norris always has the right of way.

*Filming on location for Walker: Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris brought a stillborn baby lamb back to life by giving it a prolonged beard rub. Shortly after the farm animal sprang back to life and a crowd had gathered, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the animal, breaking its neck, to remind the crew once more that Chuck giveth, and he taketh away.

*The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

*If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can’t see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.

*Chuck Norris doesn’t read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

*Chuck Norris died ten years ago, but the Grim Reaper can’t get up the courage to tell him.

*Chuck Norris can mathematically make two wrongs equal a right.

*The quickest way to a man’s heart is with Chuck Norris’s fist.

*After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. His reasoning? It was more “humane”.

*Chuck Norris once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit. On July 19th, 1999, a naked Chuck Norris re-entered the earth’s atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.

*Chuck Norris knows what Willis was talkin’ about.

*Chuck Norris appeared in the “Street Fighter II” video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked bout this “glitch,” Norris replied, “That’s no glitch.”

*Chuck Norris’ calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; no one fools Chuck Norris.

*Similar to a Russian Nesting Doll, if you were to break Chuck Norris open you would find another Chuck Norris inside, only smaller and angrier.

Tyler’s ready for some football…

We couldn’t get him on the OU team this year. Let’s face it, he’s still too small for them. University of Texas wanted him, but… come on, he has standards.
