• Awful collection of geeks dressed for Halloween...They are some truly bad looking costumes
• Even if the movie was boring this is still a rockin costume of a kid dressed as Max
• The Lurker's friend Peter once dressed as a rather impromptu father porter during spirit week, costume day, in High school. This is far better.

The Lurker is making this for the Halloween party

It is a recipe from a blog I follow called Food in my beard for Hoagie Dip. Holy crap it looks damn tasty. Check it out here

No mayo involved. Especially not that kind. Eeeeewwwww!

These two are the very very best burglars ever

The picture here is unrelated of course. Click the link even if you are not going to read it in full. Look at the title and the pic. AWESOME!!!

The Lurker wants them all

Check out all the great Star Wars themed T-shirts. 

Oh they nailed it!

This may be the gayest thing I ever did see. I am lacking in words to describe this eighties monstrosity. Do you think they did stints at Chippendale's after this?

so catchy and frightening

It repeats itself over and over but the first part is definitely worth a watch....I think

awesome costume

Some help please

Alright this weekend is Halloween and we are having a party. The theme is come as a historical figure or dead celebrity and how they died. I have a few fall back ideas but I haven't committed to anything yet. I have been growing a beard just to leave my options open. Below are my fall backs but if you have something better please put them in the comments section. 

• Steve Erwin
• John Kennedy Jr. 
• General Custer

The photo the Lurker came across the other day and was instantly in love with it. 

One other thing check out the worst idea for dressing your baby up for Halloween

A collection of terrible costumes

The Lurker's new favorite video

I plan to show this to everyone I can

This is just a stunning video about swine flu

The Lurker's mind has been blown. 

South Park is Alien to me

The Lurker has been watching South Park Since it started and never ever saw the hidden alien. Check this page out that has a ton of stills showing the alien. So freakin strange. 

Why was the Lurker not told of this?

Freakin ninja golf. I just came across this yesterday. Read all about it here. Think about it. The first way to make golf interesting and it was on the Atari 7800. 

This is kickass

Kickin' it for Christ

The Lurker believes even Jesus would think these guys suck. I would christ would be into metal. 

all sorts of wrong here

blast the music for this one. You may also not want to play this at work. This is the true one and only ultimate WTF. Enjoy!!

We need to be stopped

poor poor dogs. Why do owners feel the need to dress them up? Check here for the overindulgent D&D Dog owner. 

My new costumed hero!

The Lurker has been thinking of costumes lately and then I came across this most wonderful of all time costume ideas. If you can't read it click the pic so it is enlarged. This is truly worth the read.

A stalking we will go

Seriously who put that dick on his back

Turn the volume up and watch carefully. It goes rather quickly.

second coolest image on the internets

Words of a crazy person

The Lurker really tries to keep his frustration level down with this sort of thing but Glenn Beck is clearly insane. Watch this only if you want your eyebrows to make that clinched sort of look. Add in utter disbelief and you are there. He is discussing volunteerism and the way in which TV shows and other media are backing the idea. Bush called for the same thing. Also because of the amount of old radio shows I have ingested I have small bit of knowledge of volunteerism that was asked for at the end of every show. It took the form of joining drives to save metal and fats and the like all the way up to buying war bonds. Sorry to go on at length but Beck is a person that really should not have his own show. 

This is the coolest picture on the internets

Not too long ago I was wondering what the advantages being small would be. The advantages being tall are obvious and sometimes over rated. But here you have a photo of a man who has a cat the size of  a large dog. The Lurker is not sure if this is an advantage but is sure as hell AWESOME!!

Someone needs to smoke a lot more or a lot less

This makes so much sense

The Lurker loves Twitter

Twitter is promoting new wonderful C-Lister stars like Sarah Palin (comedy gold) and it is bringing back old favorites like Scott Baio. Here is a wonderful exchange with the former happy days extra. He is as the blog puts it, a Douche. 

This unfortunately has led the Lurker down a strange path. I use Twitter in a very small way to keep track of my friends but I wondered who else is twittering. Who are the C list celebrities you are following? Here are a few I found.

• http://twitter.com/MCHammer  MC Hammer (he is too legit to quit twitter)
  
• http://twitter.com/candacecbure DJ Tanner from Full House
  
• http://twitter.com/dustindiamond Screech from Saved by the Bell
  
• http://www.twitter.com/DariusMccrary Eddie Winslow from Family Matters
  
• http://twitter.com/WarwickADavis Warwick freakin Davis now thats awesome
  
• http://twitter.com/moonfrye Punky Brewster
  
• http://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano Alyssa Milano. The Lurker loves her brand of cookies. Damn now I want mint milanos

Who doesn't like Take on me?

Today the Lurker read that A-Ha was calling it quits. I had no idea they were still a band. Read more here. 

Here is Take on me performed by Cellos. It sounds great.

The Lurker is obsessed with Balloon Boy

Ballon boy what a freakin story. Here is the recap from the news. This is this generation's Baby Jessica, the girl who fell into a well. Remember her?

The Clip below is the short wonderful version of BBoy having a touch of a nervous stomach on live TV. If I find a better video I will replace it.

The Lurker is falling in love with this family. I will have to break my own rule not to watch bad TV like wife swap just so I can se more. 

On the Lurker's to do list

Found this the other day and need to try it. If you do please send the Lurker a photo. 

So very very wrong

Sorry about the advertisement but it is well worth the wait. 

Good bye Captain Lou

He was one of the very few wrestlers the Lurker could remember. Also he knew Cyndi Lauper.

what sorry I can't hear you?

The Lurker is in the bad habit of saying to people what when they tell him of thier own trouble hearing. This is a bad habit when it comes unbidden to your mouth at the wrong time say like when a woman is talking about her deaf child. Yep I did say it but thankfully she was not paying attention.Ok on to a different subject here is the old classic video What what in the butt done with sign language.....yep.

Calling all Cthulhu

Remember a little while back the Lurker mentioned the horrendous painting featuring Jesus and all sorts of other figures? Well someone has done a lovely parody. See it here

Is it wrong to be satisfied by this?

Who doesn't look forward to telemarketers calling?

This comedian records his fun with a telemarketer.

Pulp fiction done by kids

They do a better job than I would.

An Alpha Democrat

I saw this guy the other day talking on a news show and was impressed. He finally is talking in a basic way that all americans can understand. Tell it like it is and don't talk about policy so we can get a damn vote. His name is Alan Grayson. Also I might as well link to the very long but impassioned plea for healthcare from Olberman. He speaks of his father getting sick. He was one fantastic idea which is to change the name to medicare for all. So simple.

Ok enough real life stuff so here is a picture explaining it all. Why all these guys wear their pants so low.

I am going to invite these people to my next party

This is just the saddest thing I have ever seen. Gosh they are so informal and just like me. Wow the camera work looks like it was shot by people as me as well..neat. What is this junk you ask? It is a tutorial for throwing a windows 7 launch party. sigh....The Lurker suggests a strong drink with this one. whew. Apparently Mac users throw impromptu fun parties and PC users use host notes to make it a groovy time.

One of my heroes

This is Michael Winslow. You remember him from Police Academy and Spaceballs. That was pretty much the last time I saw him but man I idolized this guy for being able to do the noises he could create. Check out this fantastic video of his stand up.

I guess the Lurker is on an eighties kick.

The future was then

I needed something at the mall and hit my trusty iPod for a little travelin' music instead I got the in ride music to Epcot's old ride Horizons. I say old ride because it was demolished a few years ago. I let it play on. I remember going to Epcot with absolute glee( yes I can say glee) and wonder as a kid. The Lurker was always in love with technology. I remember thinking if there is a problem in this world some part of it can be alleviated through technology. I also remember a prevailing feeling not just in Epcot but everywhere when tech was talked about in the eighties. Everything was around the corner. The fifties talked about the future so far away and the eighties were any day now. Well it is 2009 and I am still waiting and I am both depressed and pissed. No I do not wonder where my hover car is but I do wonder where the horizon future went. They spoke about fast travel. It seems to be slower than ever and more expensive. They spoke about using the land to its potential and we still burn coal for our energy. The one thing Epcot never took into its future was the politics and power of money to block paths. I used to watch Beyond 2000 and hear about all this new stuff like washing machines that did not use soap. They used vibrations to push dirt out of the fabric but it was blocked by large companies who make the soap. It is fucking 2009 and as I walked around the mall it was hard to tell the difference between now and 1980. Yes we have cell phones and we have computers but what about the entire planet and culture. I thought we were speeding up but instead I believe we have almost slowed to a standstill. Oh we have the technology to solve most problems today but not the will.

I WANT MY DAMN FUTURE BACK!!!!

I want monorail travel, and proper farming that is both futuristic and good to the land. I remember even going on the rather lame but interesting The land ride where they showed you all the cool new ways of farming and using the land to its potential. ALL GONE. Where are the robots that walk the streets giving aid and help to others or at least picking up trash?

Where is my future?

As I watch the healthcare debate and everything else useful in politics get thrown aside for compromise and then eventually nothing I am starting to wonder maybe it is the right time to start a new political party. One made up of geeks. One that is actually forward thinking. The problem is that once even the geeks become elected they too will be pressured to fold. We need a political party that only elects those that don't want it. We need a party where after they have achieved the progress they bow out for another to take their place so it does not become static and lazy. Europe has its Pirate party why can't the geeks take the future back? I became a teacher to help others gain a leg into the ever so necessary world of technology. I want not just my future but theirs as well.

Sorry for the long rant. I just got started and it all poured out.

Here is a link to the soundtrack I was talking about. It is long and a bit dorky at times but try really hard to think of days when you first saw Tron or some other futuristic movie. Also here is a great commemorative website for Horizons.

Sigh.....

Let me know what you think.

Battle cat the painting

The Lurker has mentioned that he collects action figures. Yes because I am a dork. Duh. Anyway here is someone that appreciates the idea of toys and the wonder that it brought to some of our child hoods. Sit back and relax while watching him paint a classic.

A Fat Guy (Nashville, TN)

Reply to: gigs-2z8gm-1408525187@craigslist.org

I'm looking for an extremely funny fat guy. I don't care what age, color, religion, nationality, etc.....I have a concept I'm working with for some comedy and the fat guy is the last piece to the puzzle. It can't be a fat guy that's ashamed of himself. It has to be someone that's comfortable with themselves.

All you craigslist nut jobs that like responding to ads just because you don't like them, please....Don't waste your time. Regardless of whether you like the ad or not, the task will be completed.

The other is entitled Simple

are you freakin serious

One of the most frightening paintings the Lurker has ever seen. Click here to big J holding the constitution surrounded by the very same people who put it all together. You know those for fathers that were predominately humanist. For extra bonus point to each figure in the painting to see the description. The Supreme court Justice Next to the mother is a classic

Ala. woman lets daughter ride in box on top of van
Mon Oct 5, 9:07 pm ET

ALBERTVILLE, Ala. – An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van. Albertville Police spokesman Sgt. Jamie Smith said the 37-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after police received a call about a minivan on a state highway with a child riding on top.

Smith said the woman told police the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down.

Smith said the mother told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.

The 13-year-old daughter wasn't harmed and was turned over to a relative. A jail worker said the mother was out on bond Monday.

Cube Lube

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

High fives

The Lurker laughed for a good long time at this one. It is brilliant in its simplicity. Essentially a guy on a bike goes around high fiving people who are signaling for a taxi. Just sit back and turn up the music and enjoy. 

The gross factor seems rather high

This seems to open whole vistas of grossness for the iphone......eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww

Leave the bike and run!

In New jersey even the turkeys are tough.

Bad bad ideas

Yay mom now Barbie gets to clean up shit too. WHY?

Sigh! what mind would come up with this. If you need this then please stop reading this blog.

do you think he gets many second dates?

This guy is just ridiculous and awesome. 

Facebook keeps families informed

Strange disclosure by David Letterman

A cat getting a drink

The cuteness factor is high with this one.

Could this possibly be real and..

if so who would use this service? It is a site called dump4u.com. They essentially dump some one for you. Oh ya they also recorded it. To hear the two they have posted click here. 

Damn now I am hungry

What could be better than an in and out burger with Krispy Kreme buns?

      

Love is a many splendored thing

Check here for a lovely marriage proposal.(of course there is a hint of sarcasm) Make sure you click through all the pictures.

The picture to the right is not related but she does have lovely legs. I would check her teeth though.

Sob sob sob

This is the type of wonderful nonsense that keeps the Lurker looking through old video tapes. What a wonderful find and it isn't mine dammit.
Cry your heart out with this one.
