Take a somersault to the world of tangents. Anything and everything to distract you from your regular, boring life.

Hi There!

I like you.

Comics

Okay. So. Web comics. Some are strange, I know. But some are actually really funny and not quite as nerdy. Personally, I don't get the jokes in the nerdier web comics, but the other ones I found have been actually quite funny. You can waste hours and hours reading all these comics. Which is exactly what you need when you're bored, which is also the whole point of this blog. Just click on the name of the comic to go to the site and read more.
So here you go- the funniest (un nerdy) web comics around!

Cyanide and Happiness
Good ol' C&H. You love them, I love them, everyone loves them.

The Invisible Hair Suit
Okay, so some of these are pretty weird. But most are funny, so that's good.


Abstruse Goose
Pretty much a black and white comic, but it makes up for the lack of color.


Another black and white comic.

People I Want to Be Best Friends With

Have you ever seen someone and been like "oh my gawdddd...I want to be bffs with themmm!"? Well I bet you have. If you haven't then, you are lying to yourself and to me and that is just mean.
So I have compiled a list of the most awesome people in the world that would be awesome to be best friends with. Maybe one day I will meet them...

1. Nick Kosir (the rapping weatherman)
If you have heard of Nick Kosir, chances are that you only know him as the rapping weatherman. Yes, I said rapping weatherman. Nick raps the weather during FOX 4's morning show "Good Day" in Texas.
So you think that sounds dumb? Well I'm sure you probably sound dumb to Nick Kosir too.
Watching other YouTube videos of Nick, one can find that he is actually the most entertaining weatherman I've ever seen (maybe even better than Al?).
What you don't know about him is that he started as a FM DJ where he won two national awards. Now he raps the weather and has a wife and a kid.




2. George Washington
Of course you want to be friends with George Washington. He was the most bad ass first president of the United States ever. Not to mention he wore wooden teeth and a powdered wig- that's Bad ass with a capital B right there. Unfortunately, good ol' George did not chop down any cherry trees. Who came up with that myth anyway? People cut down cherry trees all the time and don't lie about it. But anyway, the point of the matter is that Washington would be the most loyal, energetic, non-lying best friend around. Kind of like a dog...but better, and with a wig. He could tell you awesome stories about that one time he was awesome in the Revolutionary War. And that time he became president. And that time he crossed the Delaware. And the time he was put on the quarter AND on the dollar bill. You know, the normal stuff. I bet he'd be a good story teller too. Kind of like how grandpa's are good story tellers. So really having George Washington as a best friend would be like having a bad ass dog grandpa with a wig as a best friend.


3. Andy Samberg
Oh Andy Samberg. What a good guy to have around. Especially if you need to come up with a clever/funny song because your life depends on it. Or if you just want to listen to his jokes. And he can cheer you up by making one of his funny faces. You'd never be sad again.
Andy joined SNL in 2005 and is a member of the Lonely Island comedy group. Watch their videos. Do it. But I'm sure you probably already have. So watch them again!






4. Queen Elizabeth II
She gets to wear a crown. And live in multiple castles. You'd want to be friends with her too. We could have lunch in Windsor and afternoon tea in Buckingham. She's also very old (born in 1926) so she has many, many stories. She's known many US presidents and has lived through many wars.
What you might have not realized, is that she is not just the queen of England, but the queen of the rest of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. However, she doesn't have that much power in these countries, as her role is mainly ceremonial.
She got to grow up as a princess, which really is ever girl's dream. Not to mention that she looks like she would be the cutest, nicest grandmother figure ever.

5. Elliot Tiber
Now, you probably do not know who this man is, unless you have seen the movie/ read the book "Taking Woodstock." The story begins with a homeless music festival and a need for money. After the festival was kicked out of their original spot, Elliot volunteered his town of Bethel, NY. He was going to have the festival at his family's motel, but it was too small, so the festival ended up being on a dairy farm. After Woodstock, Elliot went to LA and became an artist and a screen writer. Personally, I think Woodstock would have been awesome to go to and I would love to hear stories of someone who actually worked behind the scenes and who attended it. Sure he's kind of old and creepy looking now, but he'd still be cool.


7. Adam Levine
You probably know Adam as the lead singer in Maroon 5. He writes songs, sings, plays guitar, is funny (at least during concerts), and not to mention pretty darn attractive. He was born in 1979 and lived in LA until he went to school in New York. His original band was called Kara's Flowers. After dropping out of college, another member was added to the band and it was renamed Maroon 5.
Before becoming super famous, Adam worked as a writer's assistant on the show "Judging Amy." He also spent time writing songs about his ex-girlfriend, Jane.
He was in an SNL skit with, ironically, Andy Samberg, my other future best friend.
Adam's ex-girlfriend Jane did not contact him after Maroon 5's first CD, "Songs About Jane," became successful in 2004. It took her a few years, but as of 2007 they were friends again.
So basically, as my best friend, Adam could serenade me with songs he wrote about our friendship and his cool tattoos. What more could one want?

6. James Franco
Really, if I was best friends with James Franco I'd just keep him around because he's nice to look at.













Phobia of the Day: Somniphobia – fear of sleep

Fact of the Day: In an average NFL football game there is only about 12 minutes of actual play time.

An Amazon Mananimal

So. While searching through Amazon.com, I came across a fellow who had expensive and classy taste. And when I say expensive, I mean expensive. His name: Eric Mananimal. Oh and this classy man from Washington is most definitely a "mananimal"
Please, do not confuse Eric Mananimal with Humanimal. Humanimal is a crazy man who dresses up in body paint and makes himself look like an animal. Come on, Eric Mananimal is way more classy than that. Though, Humanimal is pretty brawny and built... if you can get past the fact that he is currently dressed as a dog.

But anyway, so let's take a look at the items Mr. Eric Mananimal has purchased and commented on on Amazon.
Ok, ok. Ukulele. Earrings. Necklace. Not bad. Pretty normal...

$ 937,040.00 DIAMOND! ONLY TWO FREAKING STARS!
$91,917.82 WATCH! ONLY THREE STARS?!
and shoes. eh. old man's shoes.
Oh Mr. Mananimal.

Let's now take a closer look at his ratings.

The diamond. If you cannot read the picture below, then I will read it for you: "This diamond is ok. It's pretty big but c'mon amazon. I have amazon prime so I get free shipping but how am I supposed to get this thing gift wrapped? I have a personal rule, no diamonds under $500k go in gift bags. What am I supposed to do? Buy a paper and wrap it in the funny pages? I don't even know how to do that. I would buy this diamond again and again if I could have it gift wrapped but as it is now? no thanks."

Then Jason Pruitt says "Yeah, I agree, I bought myself a grill consisting of nothing but this diamond...the only cheap point I see in the diamond though- is the fact that it comes in the form on 8 one carat diamonds taped together. come on amazon...fix this."

Then Kathryn Jewell Shaw says "I completely agree. Just because I bought 8 of them for my wife doesn't hide the fact that no gift wrap makes for a cheap gift. Very, very disappointed."


What about the watch? It certainly wasn't up to the Mananimal's standards.

Mananimal: "Pros: It looks neat, the band is comfortable and it keeps time almost as accurately as my cell phone. Cons: no calculator. All in all, I prefer my Casio calculator watch, but this one is good too."

JPV responds: "Actually, you'll be disappointed: Your cell phone keeps better time than this watch. However, that's not why one buys a watch like this, is it?"


What could ever please Eric Mananimal? Is anything worthy of his five star vote?!

Why yes. Yes there is. Naturally, Mananimal would give a tiger t-shirt he purchased a five star rating. I told you he had classy taste.


So I will leave you with the question that is on everybody's mind: Eric Mananimal, who are you?!
