Local Bakery Blunder

A bakery in my area gave themselves an interesting name:

I'm all for clever business names, and I get the joke: it's a variation of 'Nothing but cakes.' However, it can be read as if 'nothing' is a description of your bundt cakes. Nothing Bundt Cakes. Not very complimentary when read that way.

So take note, entrepreneurs, and be sure your clever business name can't be taken two ways.

Getting Past Star Wars Immigration

There is a very funny skit on youtube by Foil Arms and Hog in which Darth Vader quizzes a couple of hopeful space immigrants. Because the video also contains a discussion of their comedy tour, I decided to reproduce the Star Wars questions and answers here, though you can certainly view the original video if you prefer.

And, yes, there is a mistake: Yoda does not appear in a Star Wars movie until The Empire Strikes Back. In any case, enjoy.

Name the evil empire that has taken over the galaxy.

Disney.

Name the fluffy, hairy creature that is friends with Han Solo.

George Lucas.

Where are the great lightsabers forged?

Temu.

Along with the Ewoks, what supported Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi?

A gold bikini.

What Force holds the Star Wars universe together?

CGI.

Why are my Stormtroopers so easily killed?

They brought a gun to a sword fight.

Count from one to nine in George Lucas.

4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9

Why was Rey so eagerly pursued by the First Order?

Because everyone loves a scavenger hunt.

Whose hands were destroyed in the prequels?

Darth Maul's makeup artist.

For what momentous event do the characters of The Alliance regroup?

ComicCon.

What evil in A New Hope almost destroyed the entire galaxy for good?

Yoda impressions.

Name the craft used by Harrison Ford in the movies that was notably absent in the prequels.

Acting.

When was the last decent Star Wars movie made?

A long time ago, in a studio far, far away.

How do you keep Star Wars fans happy?

You make the new movies different but also exactly the same.

Disney Characters Walking on a Treadmill

I suppose I'm easily amused, especially by anybody dressing up in Disney costumes, but I found this video highly entertaining. If anything, the final one is worth the time it takes to watch it all the way through.

You can find it on youtube.

Judge: (bangs gavel) Enough!

A Visit From Microsoft -- Night Before Christmas Parody

'Twas a week before Christmas, and all through the house,
Not a sound could be heard but the click of a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that new cell phones would soon fill them there.

The children were nestled, all snug in their beds,
While visions of Playstations danced in their heads.

My hubby in his PJs had gone off to sleep,
While I stayed awake with a promise to keep.

Only days left, I knew I'd have to get hopping
If I wanted to finish all my Christmas shopping.

Away to my Windows I flew like a flash,
Hoping for once my hard drive wouldn't crash.

More rapid than DSL the menus they came,
And I surfed and I clicked and I entered my name.

Now Best Buy, Now Walmart, Now Lowe's and Amazon,
On eBay, on Staples, on Target.com.

To the top of each page, to Google once more,
To max out my Visa and my credit score.

When what to my poor bloodshot eyes should appear
But an error message, and much worse, I fear.

And out of the hard drive arose such a clatter,
I couldn't imagine just what was the matter.

The browser was frozen, the keyboard was dead,
It wasn't responding, and boy, I saw red.

And what did my wondering eyes then behold
But my sleepy-eyed, freckle-faced seven-year-old.

He was dressed in a tee shirt and Spider-Man shorts,
And he looked like a doll out of FAO Schwartz.

"I fell out of bed," he said with a frown.
"Whatsamatter, Mom, is the computer down?"

He spoke not a word but went straight to the work.
He de-bugged and de-fragged and I felt like a jerk.

"All fixed, Mom," he said as quick as a wink.
Then yawning he added, "Can I have a drink?"

Don't forget this advice. I know I never did.
For the very best tech help, just ask a kid.

Getting Rid of Gophers

A friend sent me this video. I have no idea who the man is, but he's trying to exterminate the gophers in his backyard by pouring gasoline down their hole and then tossing in a lighted match. It takes him three tries to ignite the gas, so be patient--the result is worth the wait.

Funny Cat Video

I don't know whose cat this is, but, like most cats, it enjoys looking down on the world from a high perch. Only this kitty has come up with a really novel way to get down. Watch and see.

Free Skit -- Can Do: A Wartime Rationing Tale

During the war, food rationing was a fact of life. Our story tells about a couple trying to make the best of it. Here's a sample:

She: The store was having a special today on cans without labels. Only ten cents a can!

He: Cans without labels? Who sells cans without labels?

She: Sometimes the labels fall off, and they can't sell them at the regular price. So they discount them. Isn't that great?

He: I guess it is. So, what are we having?

She: Well, that's the thing. I don't know yet. Without the labels, nobody knows what's in the cans. But whatever it is, it's dinner.

He: This I gotta see.

World's Funniest Instruction Book

For Christmas I received a lovely LP storage case made by Victrola. I have nothing but praise for this item; it is excellent and very attractive. But the instruction booklet (yes, it came with instructions) has to be seen to be believed. First, a warning from the cover:

And now the contents:
