Online Games

Why do we play them?

We have all played online games at one point or another. Many people play online games on a day to day basis. If you ever doubt that fact, all you have to do is go to your Facebook page and look at all the game requests that you get throughout the day.

I'm certainly guilty of playing online games; currently I'm playing Storage Wars. Facebook isn't the sole choice for online game play. Pogo was one of the first sites designed for playing games. In fact one of my favorite games, the Alchemist, is hosted on Pogo.

There's also endless online game sites that allow you to earn points that can be redeemed for various prices. I know GSN is one site that allows you to play games for points and then redeem your points for prizes. For the typical amount of points that are needed it would seem like it may take forever to actually get a prize, however if you're going to play the games anyway you just as well save up your points. It certainly couldn't hurt.

Actual cash competitions are another popular choice for online game play. The best-known game site that offers cash games is World winner. I've actually played on World winner a long time ago and managed to rake in $165. Unfortunately my winning streak ended there.

Whether you play for fun, prizes or actual cash, you can be certain that there is a website somewhere that can offer you all the online game play you could ever want and then some. We'll probably never know whether the online games are fun or a simple diversion to boredom. Regardless of why they're played online games will always be available for online enjoyment.

The Evolution of Humor

Innocent, Weird, Cute and Pain

Humor is constantly evolving just as people are constantly evolving. What was funny to those who walked before us is stupid today. What we find funny today would’ve been considered cruel and mean, possibly even sadistic.

In the 1950’s humor was characterized by innocent mishaps. Popular TV shows monopolized upon common household mistakes, such as burning thanksgiving dinner. It’s hard to really say why that was considered funny, though in its own way it was kind of cute.

By the 1970’s humor took a strange turn. New found intellectuals who dabbled one too many times with psychedelics were suddenly writing books, screenplays and everything in between. Mad magazine was at its highest point. People were watching TV shows like Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which ran from 1969 to 1974. Jokes ranged from slightly vulgar, to bitter to simply unclear.

The 1970’s led to the humor of the 1980’s, which though disturbing was also somewhat cute. People laughed at TV shows like Growing Pains, Charles in Charge and everyone’s favorite alien Alf. Girls acted stupid to be not only funny, also cute. Even seemingly intelligent girls used this tactic that can’t even be understood today.

Today are humor meter has surpassed any type of humor phase in the past. We laugh while watching shows like Two and a Half Men, Suburgatory and Trailer Park Boys. When we choose to watch videos online that are funny we measure it by how much someone suffered either emotionally or physically. Though it doesn’t stop there, we receive the greatest laugh when the one falling down just happens to be someone we know.

This is all the natural course of life. As we have changed so has the incidents that make us laugh. It might make you wonder, if we need someone to get hurt to laugh today what will they need in the future? In 20 years will decapitation be required to get a good laugh?

Should the Milwaukee Dahmer Tour be seen as Fun or just too wrong?

There is a new tour that walks people through the streets that Jeffrey Dahmer walked in search of his victims. It points out buildings that at one time had housed the very gay bars that Dahmer would frequent. The same bars that he lured numerous victims out of. The tour has met controversy and protestors, including a sister of one of the victims.

There is certainly a part of me that would be drawn to taking part in a Dahmer tour or for that matter any serial killer tour. I would even enjoy it and consider it as a fun once in a lifetime opportunity, though in the end I would pass it by. I would pass on it mainly for the sake of victim family members. This isn’t a serial killer that took lives long ago, Dahmer killed between 1987 through 1991 with one exception dating back to 1978. This points to the fact that the bulk of the Dahmer killings were committed just barely over a decade ago and for family members it’s certainly still raw.

As interesting as a Dahmer tour would be, I for one would have to pass. Sometimes, no matter how fun, entertaining or unique an event could be, the bigger picture has to be considered. In this case, the bigger pictures is that family members of Dahmer’s victims have probably barely reached a point of healing. These weren’t even normal murders, these family members will suffer pain and loss for many years to come, in fact what little closure they’ve reached has most likely just been tore back open.

Just Grin and Bear It

It Could Be Fun!

Yesterday I had to host my child’s first homeschooling science club meeting. It wasn’t something that I particularly wanted to do because I’m a shy person—especially around groups of people, let alone individuals I don’t know—and I get very nervous.

I get so nervous, in fact, that I sometimes even stutter. So you can imagine how my hands were sweating before meeting these 22 different families with their multiple kids. I had volunteered to get this one started (our homeschool group had a high school science club started, so we wanted one for the younger children) but I had hoped that other parents would take leadership roles as well, which didn’t really happen.

I almost talked my husband into going. I didn’t really have time to go in the first place, being behind at work from a sick kiddo earlier in the week, but I knew he might get confused about the activities I had planned. So I grinned and bore it, and you know what? It was pretty good. Sure, there was the first-meeting awkwardness that you expect, but there were also only six families present due to the storms—and all of the kids seemed to have a good time.

I made them a science scavenger hunt/icebreaker game to play along with a balloon rocket race and a small experiment to do at home. One mother even e-mailed me to tell me that her daughter had had such a great time that she was looking forward to our next meeting already! Oh boy.

But you know what? I think it’ll be great. I am already thinking of activities to do. And this experience reminded me that sometimes you just have to grin and bear it, and it may end up being one of your best memories. Everything in my life really worth doing—from traveling and protesting to teaching abroad to having a child—was extremely uncomfortable, scary, and sometimes (usually, even) vomit-inducing! Maybe that bit of nervousness is the sign that this will be something worth doing after all.

And maybe we could all take a page from SARK’s book. SARK recommends not psyching yourself up (or down) and saying that you’ll have a good time or a bad time in the first place, but to simply tell yourself that you are going to have “a time.” Whether it’s good or bad is up to you—and you won’t be able to tell until it’s over anyway, so why label it?

Fun Theme Parks and Winners of the 2011 Theme Park Awards

It looks like the same winners that always win

If you absolutely love theme parks and are considering booking tickets for your next family theme park getaway then you’ll want to make sure that you go to the best. These three theme parks have won the theme park awards last year. Either of these will be a great vacation spot that’s certain to make every member of your party happy.

Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando Florida has again been named as one of the best theme parks. Certainly understandable with is long list of attractions and events. Universal has some great rollercoasters like the Incredible Hulk and Dr. Dooms Fearfall. There are also plenty of water rides to beat the Florida heat and a large variety of kiddie rides for your younger party members. Universal is also known for their exciting fun shows, so make sure you set aside a little time to see the amazing nonstop action that Universal has to offer.

Busch Gardens was a winner though I have to admit this one actually surprised me. I had been to Busch Gardens when I was younger and it really wasn’t that great. Upon further inspection I quickly realized they have come a long way, in fact I may have to travel down to Florida and check out all of the new rides at Busch Gardens.

A final winner is none other than Disney's California Adventure, what a surprise. No seriously it’s Disney, I’ve personally never been to Disneyland however I have been to Disneyworld numerous times and to this day I’m still not sure that I’ve made it through the entire park. Of course maybe if I didn’t have to ride the same rides over and over then I might get to see the rest of the park, I completely blame Space Mountain.

So Stupid it's Funny

Yes for the most part we did elect them...

Those politicians and political mouthpieces of ours say some pretty stupid things. Oddly, when they open their mouths to speak the words that will eventually cause them a great deal of speculation and downright ridicule it’s apparent that they believe they are being wise and intelligent. They must, unless it’s the opposite and they just think the rest of us our stupid and have decided to proceed with the ideology of “when in Rome.”

Yes Pat Robertson was in fact quoted saying...

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." –Pat Robertson

You would think that this statement came right out of the 1950's, sadly it came right out of 1992. Oddly enough he received minimal repercussions, the only real consequence he had was a moment of media attention that had quickly faded. Today many people have completely forgotten this strong yet stupid quote.

Michelle Bachman actually has said this...

"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." -Rep. Michelle Bachmann, April, 2009

Michelle Bachman has one statement after another that is certainly stupid and could possibly be deemed as retarded. She constantly speaks and I believe or at least it appears that she in actually thinks that she is connecting with the American public. If in fact she is then we may all want to consider moving to a smarter location, like perhaps maybe Germany.

Jimmy Carter speaks honestly just short of his election…

"I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me." - President Jimmy Carter, in an interview with 'Playboy' one month prior to the 1976 election

I wouldn’t necessarily say that the words of Jimmy Carter were stupid, in fact if anything they were merely honest. The only real point that was stupid is that he chose to give Playboy an interview discussing sex and everything else a matter of weeks before his election in the year 1976. As prudish as people can often be in today’s time I can only imagine that they were worse in the 1970’s.

I could go on with the stupid things that are political voices have said, however it would probably take my entire lifetime to get through each statement. That being said I leave you with these three.

He Puts His Pee in My Mouth

The scary truth about pee habits

He put his pee in my mouth. Maybe not my mouth, but still a mouth all the same. Often a rather strange mouth that personally would scare me away, I guess I now have to admit that guys really are braver than I’ll ever be.

Political minded individuals that have the need to get their true feelings out can pee in George Bush’s mouth. So far that’s the only choice they have. I can think of a few other choice politicians that might make great urinals, however they have not yet been created. Once they are made, I just might try to learn how to use one, although when I picture it that would actually change the whole point into something completely different.

All of you Demon lovers will be happy to know that you can now pee in the demon of your choice. I believe it has been rumored that pee has had ritualistic properties in many dark arts. I can’t say for certain since I avoid such literature at all cost.

Then there is the great functional yet possibly avoidable Toilet Bar. The bar seats are lipstick colored wide mouth urinals, which are hungry for the latest patrons pee. I’m not sure if you stand in front of it, straddle it or lean on it, all I’m really sure about is that you’d be drinking in a small room filled with urinal mouths and that would have to interfere with the taste of your drink.

The urinal that would make me the most hesitant to use is the crazy mouth urinal. This guy is extremely vibrant in color, which would probably distract me. The thing that would really scare me is that he kind of has a hungry look about him and I believe that would have me not wanting to expose myself in my most vulnerable state.

Beat the Winter Blah with These Cool sand Castles

You know, mine never look that good, ever

I know that I’m only missing the winter and longing for the hot sun. I thought maybe you guys were too so I have searched long and hard for the greatest sand castles that will certainly make you smile. I’m not sure if they can all be called sandcastles, yet they are made of sand.

I’m not sure what I would call this one, maybe head in the sand or something like that. Regardless of my lack of name is this guy or what. I don’t know who made this, I do know that he made perfect detail and let’s be honest, haven’t we all for at least a moment wished we could push someone’s head in the sand, if only society would allow it?

I realize that creepy sand castle like bones aren’t exactly what most people would consider fun, however I had to include them. The whole seen, especially the treasure chest combined with the skeletons made me think of all those great pirate stories of childhood. Just thinking of the hors that me and my friends spent trying to figure out where the lost pirates treasure ended up makes me smile.

I had to include this final sand castle/ sculpture simply because I love the Simpsons. I know they can be silly and childish, but then so can I. That just might be why I love them. That and they rock. The one thing that would’ve have made this one even cooler is if they left just enough space for a person to climb in between two of the characters, if nothing else it would’ve made a perfect photo op.

Funny Church Signs

I'm not sure if they're really that out of touch or if they are in fact perverse after all

If you want to laugh it usually isn’t too hard to find something funny. There’s one part of my sense of humor that is certain to one day send me to hell, though I’m still not certain that it exists. It’s that part that has led me to my latest collection of lmao church signs, believe me they have made it easy.

The Cornerstone House of Refuge Apostolic Church is hosting a anal convention and apparently they’re over joyed about it. I kind of thought that a letter or two might have fell off. Though I’m now certain that it reads just how it’s supposed to, adding various letters just doesn’t work.

The Christian Life Center is promoting and hosting Porn. Let me just say that I hadn’t really planned on going to church, however this may be just enough to get me there. Then again maybe not, it might just be mission style porn and that just doesn’t sound all that exciting even though the idea of porn in a church is rather intriguing. It could also be the opposite, I mean maybe there’s a reason that people refuse to miss a single Sunday. They do actually seem happy when they leave, just saying.

The North Waterboro Baptist church probably didn’t mean their sign the way I took it. Regardless, they make my sign collection, after all they should have stepped back and read their sign. They had to have known that any sign messages referring to Jesus entering you was definitely being plastered online.

Fun Food Designs that lets you Eat Art

If Only my Mom had let me Play with my Food

If my mom only knew back then, what I know now. I had an extremely active imagination and suffered endlessly every single time that I sat down to eat. It wasn’t that I didn’t like what I was given, it was really due to my need to turn my food into something, something that I could be proud to eat, my Mom didn’t see this, she simply smiled tirelessly and told me once again not to play with my food.

What my Mom didn’t know back then is that one day I could honestly make a more than modest living by playing with my food. There are all kinds of food companies and caterers that are specifically chosen for their artistically styled food. These unbelievable creators apparently didn’t listen when their Mom’s told them to stop playing with their food.

Vegetables

My Mom struggled the most getting me to eat my veggies. Some amazing creations are made from veggies, such as this detailed fiery dragon, I definitely would’ve eaten that. There are other designs that are simple that anyone could do, such as turning a salad plate into a flower garden by using fresh spinach for leaves and adding garnishes to make a big smiley face on top of the flower.

Fruits

Now this is the one I really could have made money on. After all there’s a company that sales only carved pieces of fruit that are placed together in a basket to look just like a flower basket. Had I had time I’m sure I would have eventually gotten around to a fruit based flower basket.

Sandwiches

My sandwiches were always especially boring to me. When you really think about it, they’re just 2 pieces of bread with something in the middle. That absolutely isn’t the case with this incredible alligator sandwich, which by the way looks like a rather healthy sandwich made of bread and veggies.

Main Courses

It only makes since that art should be joined with the main course, the centerpiece of the table. There are several types of artistic main course foods, however I came across this Winnie the Pooh and knew I had to include this. I took Winnie the Pooh with me everywhere and if I had the chance to eat him, I know I would have proudly eaten my childhood idol.
