Again, these guys have made something entertaining but I’m not falling out of my chair with laughter. The last time one of their videos caught my attention- In The 80’s.

This a pretty sweet little animation, check it out by clicking this link.

LATE!

I blame the #pmog channel on IRC for this post being late.  Chatting and being taunted by fellow players distracted me from posting.  Thus, I’ve decided to share some funny links with you that other players posted in #pmog.

Fail

I love me some Fail blog and bunni3burn shared the following with the channel.

PUPPIES!

So, this live video feed of puppies has been going around the last couple of days and lehall posted a link to the puppies’ newly created Twitter account.  So, if you want to try and translate your cutesy, animal baby talk to say something to the critters, go for it.

Musical Accompaniment

skawesome dropped the Sad Trombone on the #pmog channel when I was in there.  A great link to pass onto someone deserving. Later, zous also brought out the Sad Trombone, probably to one of my lame comments.  In response masteraramil mentioned Instant Rim Shot, sorry it’s a musical link too you perv.

Dramatic Lemur

pixielo introduced me to the dramatic lemur.

Fortune Cookies

At some point our conversation turned to fortune cookies and chetyre gave us a link to the following Upright Citizen’s Brigade skit.

Missions on PMOG have been sort of wonky lately, but I have managed to find you some new stuff around the web.

One Word

A mission by user candyrain brought me to oneword.  A great place for inspiration or a quick exercise to get through that writer’s block.  Check it out, I found it interesting.

Brothers-Brick

User candyrain also introduced me to a blog about Legos.  Of course, there’s a blog for Legos, why wouldn’t there be?  Yet, I have never been there until recently.  Now, I am inspired to dig up the Legos so I have another timekiller.  Pretty soon, I’ll have so many timekillers that I won’t have to be a productive member of society.  Who am I kidding, I am already there.

Howard The Duck

I totally forgot about that crazy movie.  Thanks to denndragon for the reminder.  The website looks like it’s pretty old, but I was just happy to remember the film.  I must put it on my Netflix so that I can bring Sikkdays readers another So Bad It’s Good Review, like Zardoz Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, or these gems.

Pachelbel’s Canon in D

I’m sure those of you that are band geeks will enjoy this more than the rest of us, but bcb’s mission brought me this funny video about why all our top 40 crap sounds alike.

Hopefully, missions on PMOG will start working a bit better soon.  I’ve already noticed some decent changes, I’m just having some major issues with broken missions that are 4-8 months old.

This week PMOG missions have added some new reference websites to my bookmarks and I found a bit weirdness.

Politifact.org

I have heard the name of the website throughout the campaign, but never really took the time to visit it as I figured it was like most of the other fact checking sites.  Yet, thanks to speckledfrog’s mission I was taken to the site and I got to see their truth-o-meters on various statements made by the candidates.  Really clean and quick way to find out the truthfulness of a potential leader’s claim.  BONUS:  Another great site from speckledfrog, ontheissues.org.  The site does its best to show visitors the stance of politicians in each state on a number of issues.

Wisebread

I am pretty damn frugal, but in today’s economy it is only going to get worse.  Wisebread is an informative blog to help users with finances.  The tag line is “living large on a small budget.”  Thanks to PMOG user elke for this one.

Gnovies

Honestly, I have seen some better cloud mapping interfaces, but the idea of Gnovies is solid.  Type in the name of a movie and it will show you a number of similar films.  Suggested by rasputin4, the site offers you a number of choices for movie night when you are in the mood for something comparable to a favorite.

Wig Wam Bam

PMOG user bobcows introduced me to the bubblegum scene.  Growing up listening to oldies, I was already familiar with the concept and many of the songs, but I have never heard the Wig Wam Bam before.  Every once and a while, I like to throw a music video on the site and challenge you to watch it all the way through without bleeding from your eyes.  This would probably fall in that category.

Lampshades

Finally, thekatiest brilliantly designed a mission all about lampshades.  The following how to video is…well…stomach turning, yet enlightening.

BONUS:  I also enjoyed the pudding cup lamp.

No Sweat Apparel

Sweatshops are a product of our desire to have cheaper goods and these days it can be difficult to name one company that actually makes their clothes in the U.S. I found this link to No Sweat Apparel thanks to PMOG user anthrogeek.

Last Google

Sometimes you search for something that is so popular, you have to dig a few pages through Google to find what you need. At least that’s what I think Last Google was created for, who knows? Brought to me by a mission by one of my allies, chetyre.

FAIL.

I love me some FailBlog.org so I jumped at the chance to take mortmer’s mission of fail. It seems that a few blogs claim to be the original Fail Blog. Whatever, just more chances for us to laugh at the expense of others. Superfail, Shipment of Fail, Fail Dogs and the RotSky Institute can be added to your Fail viewing.

Museum of Bad Art

The biggest donor to this museum goes by the name of “trash.” The web page for MOBA is intriguing, though I think it would be much better to visit in person. It is nice to know that my work may end up in a museum, after all. Thanks to gaber for enlightening me with this museum of fail.

This past week brings mostly bizarreness.

FiveThirtyEight

First up, I have got a political site for those of you who actually think your vote counts.  Pardon my cynicism, but it is all up to the antiquated system of the electoral college.  There are 538 electoral votes, and that brings us to this site.  Its got all sorts of graphs and figures to tell you who is winning.  Thanks to PMOG user, philharmonic, for the comments in another mission, I found FiveThirtyEight.com.   My political projection?  Everybody poops.    (stole that link from user mmmpi)

Monoface

Speaking of mmmpi, her mission brought me to monoface.   The site isn’t the newest or most original idea, but it is a clean interface and a fun timekiller.  Think Conan O’Brien’s If They Mated feature.  Enjoy.

World Beard Championships

I tried to take this mission by skawesome dedicated to beards, but it broke down.  I did get treated to 3 great sites before it quit.  I chose the World Championship site for my four blog readers, as I am sure you are interested in the governing body of such a competition.  Well, at least they have an interesting gallery of pictures.  Find yourself a new avatar.

Instant-Origami

There are loads of sites dedicated to the art of Origami, but Instant-Origami is all about speed.  The videos are not sped up, it is real time amazement.  Paper folding at a blistering speed brought to me and you by predhunter13.
