It’s been said that “the most valuable sense of humor is the kind that enables a person to see instantly what it isn’t safe to laugh at.” We can’t promise you that here, but the stuff here makes us laugh.
A Few of My Favorite Things Redux
Posted on October 10, 2009 by snipe in Featured, Humor
While I find websites every day that make me laugh, there are a few that always seem to deliver. Some of the are older, some are newer, but I love and cherish every one of them and would hug each of their creators for making my world better through their sarcasm and pointing out other [...]
If Chuck Norris Had Designed Linux…
Posted on July 16, 2009 by snipe in Featured, Geek Life, Humor
What started as an off-handed comment on Twitter quickly turned into a meme that had tons of people involved. It all started with “If Chuck Norris designed Linux…”. Hours of hilarity (and a good bit of tweet stream flooding) soon ensued.
More on Haiku (or Moron Haiku?)

So I’ve been on a bit of a haiku-kick lately, and decided to do something about it. The recent obsession started, I think, with my commute.
The… Er… Anatomy of a Twitter Meme
Posted on March 9, 2009 by snipe in Featured, Geek Life, Humor
This is a transcript of the #giantblueglowingcock Twitter meme from March 9, 2009. This meme, started by myself and @brlittle, managed to make the front page of Twitscoop – that is, until they decided it was too naughty and they pulled it.

No, No – Let Me Google That For You
Posted on November 24, 2008 by snipe in Featured, Geek Life, Humor
Have you ever had someone ask you the answer to a question, and in order to find the answer, you did a simple Google search? That leaves you wondering why the aforementioned asker couldn’t Google it their damned selves…. (I have to confess here, sometimes I like being the fastest on the Google draw – [...]
Web 2.0 in Six Easy Steps
Posted on September 13, 2008 by snipe in Humor
This post, written by web designer James Paden of Xemion.Com, takes a snarky look at Web 2.0 and the cookie-cutter websites that seem to be popping up everywhere. Make with the clicky here.
Incidentally, this is a great web development blog, by the way, especially for freelance developers interested in taking a closer look at conversion [...]
E-cards That Don’t Suck
Posted on March 20, 2008 by snipe in Humor
I gave up on e-cards long, long ago. Other than JibJab, there just weren’t any e-card sites that had anything worthwhile. Everything is always cheesy and stupid, and they spam the crap out of both the sender and recipient, if you can get past all their freaking ads to actually send the damned thing. I [...]

If you were ever a D&D geek (like I was), you’l totally appreciate this article from headinjurytheater.com. I was *pissing* myself. I can so clearly remember bringing home the monster manuals and immsersing myself as if it were a fresh bag of crack. (Imagine the movie a Christmas Story, when Ralphie was in the bathroom, [...]

McDonald’s Video Game
Posted on August 20, 2007 by snipe in Humor
This game is not only incredibly well done and morally chilling, its also absurdly addicting. You play the role of a McDonald’s franchise owner, where you buy rainforest land to make room for genetically modified soybeans to feed the genetically modified cows. Once you have some cow’s, you move on to the slaughterhouse, where you [...]
