An Ode To Toy Story 3

// June 17th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Comic, Entertainment, Fun, Life, Media

Granted, Toy Story 3 is not quite in theatres yet, but that doesn’t in any way stop me from sharing with you this AWESOME picture that my good friend Avi showed me today:

Thought that was pretty funny…

Anyways…

Now, Toy Story 3 comes out this Friday (yes, I believe that would mean tomorrow, unless you live in some parallel universe or something, in which case you may have seen it already… hmm… well don’t ruin it for me), and I can’t help but contain my excitment! No? I mean, am I the only “adult” who kind of, sort, of actually, really wants to see this movie? And even if you don’t look at it like that, the technology in the movie, and the INCREDIBLE animation you will see, definitely is enough of a reason for me to see it, alone.

I don’t know… Toy Story is just one of those CLASSIC great Pixar movies. How can you not go watch it?

Opening day? Nope. Not for me. I’ll wait it off a bit until I can actually have my own seat.

I’m sure as heck seeing it though.

I briefly discuss school and an odd assignment, but first, start out with some singin’ on this addition to The DeVlogs.

Some Of The Best Online Quizzes That I Just Recently Found

How did I just now find out about this place?

It’s called The Oatmeal and it’s just an incredible, genius, and excellently written website. It’s actually all done by ONE (very clever) guy, and the site consists of all these well designed comics, and quizzes about all sorts of things. Unfortunately, words don’t do it justice, nor are they able to explain what makes the site so great. So instead, I’ll show you…

Here are a few of the results from some of the quizzes that I took:

And here are some of my favorite articles that I found browsing around for the past few minutes:

What Your Email Address Says About Your Computer Skills

I was CRACKING UP when I read this one: Why I’d Rather Be Punched In The Testicles Than Call Customer Service

I happened to know most of these: 10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling

Another incredibly funny, and yet so upsettingly true one: Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell

And you can see a whole lot more here.

Like I said, I’m not quite sure how I only just discovered this site, but what I am sure about is that I will be checking back on The Oatmeal pretty frequently now to see what they’re up to over there. I mean, you can just browse around on this sort of a site for hours, and find just a ton of funny, interesting, cool, and clever articles. Go check it out for yourself!

Regularly $49.99 & On sale for $49.99

// January 31st, 2010 // No Comments » // Comic, Fun, Life

A friend sent this to me today and it got me thinking; Is putting something on sale for it’s regular price even legal? Now I don’t know if that is exactly what is going on in the above picture (not sure if that is actually a sale or just unnecessary redundancy) but would doing something like that be legal? Either way, when you see something like this you gotta wonder what the person who put this there was thinking. Or if they were even thinking at all.

Palms In Florida

It’s a Palm on a palm in front of a Palm (tree)! How about that?!

It also happens that I one-upped him too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lockergnome/3791062556/

The Upside Down Tree Shirt

Since the tress on the shirt were upside down, I figured I myself needed to be upside down so the shirt would look normal.

The Answer To The Yankee Doodle Problem

// January 17th, 2010 // No Comments » // Comic, Community, Entertainment, Fun

I posed the question yesterday: What exactly did Yankee Doodle refer to when he called something “macaroni”? Well, you guys came up with some great answers and I thought (like I said) I would share a few of them with you in this video.

Here were just a few from various YouTubers (unedited, by the way – they appear as they were posted):

1. “The Macaroni Club consisted of young, wealthy British gentlemen who traveled
   to France and Italy and adopted the ostentatious and flamboyant fashions
   popular in those countries during the eighteenth century. The Macaronis, not members of a true club but rather a new generation of continental society, were often ridiculed by the British establishment.
   The joke was that a colonial—a Yankee “dandy”—would stick a feather in his tricorne or coonskin cap and think himself as fashionable as any man à la mode in Paris or Rome.”
2. “I always thought it was this:
   Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony, stuck a feather in HIS hat and called it macaroni”
3. it’s a type of fashion.
   see Macaroni_(fashion) in wikipedia :) ”The song Yankee Doodle, from the time of the American Revolutionary War, mentions a man who “stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni,” the joke being that the Yankees were naive enough to believe that a feather in the hat was a sufficient mark of a macaroni. Whether or not these were alternative lyrics sung in the British army, they were enthusiastically taken up by the Yankees themselves.”

Well thanks to everyone for helping me answer up this ridiculously weird question! If you got any others, send them to me at mail@devirkahan.com.
