Friday Funnies

If you don't know the joys of Mystery Science Theater 3000, then I don't know what to do with you. It's a fabulous program that entertained me through much of high school and college. When the wife and I realized our shared love of the show, at least I knew we'd always have Joel, Tom Servo and Crow to fallback on during the blah moments in life.

Put simply, these guys are forced to watch the worst movies ever created, and they mock them throughout with snide comments and wisecracks. One of my favorites is Cave Dwellers (pronounced Cah-vey Dwellers) but another is Mitchell, starring a bulbous Joe Don Baker. Here's some highlights from the MST3K treatment ("How do you like your scotch?" "By the quart!"). Brilliant.

Idiot of the Day

I was in Florida this past weekend for a great friend's wedding, but of course during my travels I encountered a few idiots, as they do have a tendency to produce many of them in the sunshine state.

This one I saw on a highway billboard. Vasectomies are no laughing matter, but I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw this dude's ad. No scalpel and no needles involved? Fantastic, except I can't help but think it means what he's not telling you is that his 17,000 vasectomies involve three guys holding you down while he just repeatedly kicks you in the crotch.

If you want more hilarity, you should check out the stunning website design he employs on his site. Compelling, and rich. Oh, and nice high school mugshot for the billboard.
