Stop what you're doing and Style Yourself

We have discovered a new website: http://www.philips.com/e/male-grooming/style-yourself.html It allows you to give yourself facial hair and stuff. Try the HObbit-dwarf style chin beard or the anchor beard.

Pretty sweet, huh?

Deep fried WHAT?!

Deep Fried Peeps Stuffed Chocolate Eggs

I know that this blog post would have been a lot more timely had I posted it prior to Easter, but Easter candy isn’t half price at Target before Easter, and these Peeps stuffed chocolate eggs normally cost something crazy like $5 each. At $2.50 each though they’re a total steal, especially when you’re looking for something new to deep fry!

I started off by whipping up my batter (1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 cup milk and 2 eggs) and then dipping the chocolate eggs in it before tossing them into my deep fryer for 45 seconds or so.

After taking them out and letting them cool for a couple minutes I cut into one of them. The second I broke it open melted milk chocolate and gooey marshmallow Peeps started oozing out. Considering that the eggs were about the size of a baseball they were a little messy to eat, but they were definitely worth the $2.50 investment for each one!

Have you ever played that game where you try to get the fewest results using two words in a Google Search?

Well I have just beat you all.

1,860 results???? Beat that.

(TO THE STAFF: I'm expecting the title of this post to become a popular label on this blog in the future.)

UPDATE: I have beat myself. No one can ever top this. Ever. (I know Google doesn't recognize "quadragintesimal"; rest assured it is a word.

ANOTHER UPDATE: OK well actually the person sitting next to me just beat me:

BUT I FOUGHT BACK AND STRUCK A VITAL BLOW:

Admit it. You cannot win.

Top 10 most annoying toys

Article from Listverse: http://listverse.com/2008/03/23/top-10-toys-parents-dread/

If you have friends with kids and you wish they would stop inviting you to visit, just pick up an item or two from the following list the next time a gift-giving occasion rolls around.

Beads

The first reason is obvious. There are usually thousands of them, and within 5 minutes of the package being opened they are everywhere. Second, assuming the kids actually do use the beads for their intended purpose, they proudly present you with a mismatched, half-completed poorly-made necklace/bracelet which they then expect the parent (you) to wear every day of your life.

Electronic Noisemakers

Does this one even need an explanation? Just know that they put a screw on the battery compartment for a reason. No, it’s not so the kids can’t eat the batteries, if your kids eat batteries, they deserve what they get. It’s so the kids can’t replace the batteries, because there is no way that the parents ever will.

Slime

Slime + Furniture/Carpeting/Curtains/Anything = Angry Parent + Child with a sore rear end.

Barbie Dolls

Scientists have calculated that there is only a 31 second window between the time a Barbie Doll leaves the box and the moment it is discarded by the child, hair matted and/or cut and completely naked. And speaking of that box! It is easier to get a cat in a bathtub that to get the stupid doll out of that box. The process goes like this…Cut tape, open box, slide out inner backing with doll and accessories attached, remove wire ties, cut tape, take a break, have a drink, cut strings, cut plastic, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat…(I’m going to stop here, but at this point only half of the accessories have been freed from their plastic purgatory).

Lite Brite

Have you ever stepped on a lite-brite peg at 2 am? If not, let me know, I’ll be happy to send you a couple so you can share in the experience.

Easy Bake Oven

Umm-umm! Nothing says gourmet cuisine like old batter from the toy store, cooked to runny/gooey/burned perfection by a 60 watt light bulb! See the beautiful treats this young girl has prepared? That’s not even close what your kid is going to make. If you give this a gift, be prepared to receive the results as a thank-you present.

Bubbles

How could bubbles possibly make this list? After all, they’re just soap and water? They’re harmless, right? WRONG! Parents hate bubbles like rednecks hate the government. They make anything they touch in the house sticky and leave water-soap rings on furniture, so you have to insist that the kids only use them outside, which results in: “Can we go outside to blow bubbles?”, “Can we go outside to blow bubbles?”, “Can we go outside to blow bubbles?”, “Can we go outside to blow bubbles?”, etc, etc, etc.

Silly String

See: Bubbles

Pokemon

Gotta Catch ‘em All! At $5-20 a pop, catching ‘em all is a great financial plan if you are into poverty. These things are like kiddie heroin, one taste is all it takes. Plus, half of them don’t really look like anything, or at least not anything you would want to play with. Look at the example above (Sudo Woodo), it had to be inspired by a diet high in corn and peas. And the show!!! Try and watch it, I dare you.

Play Clothes

You might as well wrap your children in colored toilet paper as these heavy-duty toughskin-quality threads. They are made from the flimsiest materials available, stitched together with the thinnest thread and typically unravel as you take them out of the packaging. See how happy the children are in the picture above? They’re getting paid to smile. It’s a triple whammy: Wasted money, ruined costumes and crying children.

Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger

It's a freaky invisible guy with a mask for a face.

His second line in the episode is,

"I am Satan"

And it's a kids TV show.

I've got weirder videos than this in my endless supply of entertainment.

Just another crazy licking goat GIF

Thanks to our friend Qate for directing our attention to this marvelous spectacle.

EDIT BY TATE (about three seconds later): Just realized that this actually isn't the first domestic-mammal-crazily-waving-their-toungue-around GIF we've blogged. What on earth is wrong with us?

http://totallyrandomsite1.blogspot.com/2014/04/le-cochon-danseurs.html

ANOTHER EDIT BY TATE (the next day): ...and here's another one from Qate:

Let's all stop watching Breaking Bad and just watch Breaking Plates.

(Can I be quoted on that?)
