Potter Earworm 
I know what you're thinking, "Earworm?! Ewww, gross! Buffalo Bandit sucks." And while all of that may be true, you aren't thinking of the right definition of the word. According to Wikipedia, an earworm is:

"A literal translation of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a song stuck in one's head, particularly an annoying one. Use of the English translation was introduced by James Kellaris, an associate professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati. His studies appeared to demonstrate that different people have varying susceptibilities to earworms, but that almost everybody has been afflicted at some time or another."

One popular earworm you may be familiar with is Lambchop's "This is the Song That Never Ends." I can tell you are already singing it (...It just goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was... and they'll continue singing it forever just because... This is the song that never ends...). Oh, the pain. Well, based off of the popular Badger Badger Badger meme there is the new and improved Harry Potter Potter Potter. Enjoy and you can thank me later. (via MetaFilter)

Your Retarded 
How funny is that? Trying to call someone retarded, but mis-spelling "you're" and thus, you look like the moron. Now how would you like to have a T-Shirt that says Your Retarded, Practice Safe Lunch: Use a Condiment!, or Without Me it's just Aweso. Well now you can. For the mildly steep price of $17.99 plus shipping you can own any of about 40 such terrific T-shirts. There are so many good ones, it's hard not to list them all, but go check out Busted Tees and pick out your favorite one. Maybe if you're real good all year Santa will bring you one for Christmas, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

LEGOs are good for you 
Awesome! And any post that starts with something like that has to be awesome, so fasten your safety helmets and put on your good mittens because this is freakin' sweet. Daily Llama (The official site for Monty Python fans) has a post about how Monty Python is Animators' Delight. It features three fantastic animations based on classic Python sketches, like the "Cheese Emporium" animated with odd-looking aliens and the "Penis Song" sung by a meerkat named Burt. But the best sketch is actually done with LEGOs and it re-enacts the Camelot song from The Holy Grail. It's a fantastic bit of animation and you should all check it out. All of the pieces are about 8MB, but there is a larger version of the LEGO one if you've got the bandwidth. Priceless. (via Milk and Cookies)

How to spy on real people over the Web 
Everybody has been talking about unsecured webcams today. Take Boing Boing MetaFilter for example. But it's really quite interesting. Basically, with the growing presence of broadband internet around the world, some people end up putting things on the Internet that they don't intend. Sometimes it's a picture, other times it's a song, well, this time it's security camera interfaces. Yup, that's right, you can look through security cameras all over the world because their owners never bothered to secure them. All you have to do is find them... and even that isn't very hard, there are several simple google hacks that will show you where this cameras are. This search returns almost 800 cameras. This one will find almost 2,000. And if that's not enough, this search will give you another 1,000. Some of them are even so advanced that you can pan and tilt the cameras to follow the action. And if you get to a page with a low refresh rate, don't worry, just go up to the URL and change where it says Mode=Refresh to Mode=Motion and you'll be all set. It makes you wonder how many people are looking at you. Scary.

Don't watch whales from kayaks 
Whales are great. They are big and gentle (most of the time). They are a lot like dolphins. However, I would strongly advise against playing with wild killer whales in your kayak. But don't take my word for it, take this Japanese tourists rendition of what happens when killer whales jump in your kayak. It's a cool 2 mb mpeg that I'm sure you'll enjoy. Damn, that looks like it hurts. (via Screenhead)

Toboggan Jump! 
Sure the holidays are over, but that doesn't mean that it's time to pack up your sled and go home. In fact, here in DC I haven't even unpacked my sled... but like I said... that's okay because you can do some serious sledding over at Toboggan Jump where you get to push a toboggan full of people down a hill and through a ring of fire. Just be careful not to push too hard or too soft or you might end up pushing your friends right into the flames. Plus the commentary is pretty funny, but it does get old after a while. Anyway, I hope this gives you something to do on your lunch break. Enyoy! (via Screenhead)

Eye of the Tiger 
This little Flash movie must be the European Johnny Knoxville and shows a boxer training on the hard streets. See him run the check-out belt, box the meat in the deli, weigh himself on the produce scale, and much, much more. Plus it's all to the ever-pertinent "Eye of the Tiger". So check out this bizzare training video and let me know what you think. I'm not sure what to make of it, I don't even know if I like it. But maybe you will. (via Little Ray of Sunshine)

Happy New Year! 
I've been on vacation from work and blogs and all things not sitting on my ass playing with my new iPod, TiVo, and video games. But vacation is now over, so Happy New Year to you all. And just to show you I'm no slouch, here is someone who had even more time than I did and spent it thinking about Tommy Tutone: Jenny, are you there? is a list of all of every area code in the U.S. followed by 867-5309. In fact, there are plenty of people who actually have this number... you know you've wondered about it. You know you've probably even tried to drunk dial Jenny at some point. Bastard. So enjoy!
