The most valuable supply of worthlessness on the web
Just got this from a cow-orker. It made me laugh. He did not provide a link back to the original source.
I’m trying to imagine the cast for this, and I can almost think of who should play these two roles, but can’t quite put my finger on the names.

Cats can be so funny.

Not just for breakfast, the cats bring the laughs, too.

You have to admire a dog who understands what our form of government is all about.
I’d vote for him.

No, I don’t have any idea what the backstory is. I just found it funny.

As gamers, we often realize how precarious the fate of the universe can be. Often, most people think all is going well and the universe is not mere moments from ceasing to exist. However, there are beings out there, waiting the perfect adventurer to come so that they might hand out a quest which ultimately saves everything we know and care for.
This is the story of such a character. A wizard, seemingly stripped of power but urgently needing to deliver a scroll to a nearby companion. He would deliver it himself, but for reasons unknown, he is held fast to a single spot. Will anyone help him?
About a year and a half ago, the idea struck me that RPGs had a particularly odd phenomenon that required investigation. Now, I don’t pretend to be the first person who thought it strange that in the majority of role-playing games, strangers will march up to you and ask you to do their chores/rescue their daughters. But I do pretend to be the first person to dress up as a wizard, go into the streets of Bath, and find out if it was realistic. Below is the story of my adventure, originally published on The Escapist, and now in its full glory for you, today.
. . .
The plan: To take to the streets, dressed as a wizard, with a quest for the good peoples of Bath, England. Would they really help out a stranger with a strange beard? Would they even stop and listen? Is there any truth to this convention we’ve otherwise entirely accepted?
First of all, I should immediately get this out of the way: No one, at any point, approached me to ask for a quest. Short of suspending a yellow exclamation mark above my head, I’m not sure what more I could have done to attract the attention of any passing adventurers braving the cold thoroughfare through the centre of the town. If anything, people did their very best to avoid me, refusing eye contact, moving far away from my pleading face. It was already concerning.
I should explain the scenario. I, the brave wizard, had transferred through a portal into this dimension, but could not leave the spot on which I stood. It was imperative to the survival of the universe that the magic spell I held (a rolled up scroll of paper, engagingly tied with a purple ribbon) be given to the girl in the red cloak and hood, waiting outside what you humans call “the shoe shop,” 300 yards down the road. Upon completion of this vital task, a bag of gold coins would be given as a reward. In my dimension, chocolate coins are of the very highest worth. Would anyone go out of their way for me, in order to be the savior of all mankind, for the prize of a bag of candy?
Curious as to his success? Wondering if anyone helped this now-powerless wizard? I know I am. Let’s head over and see how things turn out. (via /.)

Play much rock, paper, scissors? Well, you might if you had access to all the super-advanced play options in what can only be deemed Rock, paper, scissors – the next generation.
And there’s more where that came from. Oh so much more. That clip is but a small sample of the full-blown guide, so get over there and see what your RPS game is missing.

one is really just for the hardcore gamers. Here’s the image for a shirt coming from SplitReason in the near future.
For those not familiar, it is the Red Ring of Death that many XBox 360 consoles have suffered since the console’s release. Red Ring = Blue Screen to those who suffer it, only the Red Ring of Death requires returning the console to Microsoft for repair rather than simply rebooting as you would do for a computer that gets blue.

My brother shared this with me. As you might guess from the title, it is absolutely Not Safe For Work (NSFW).
Here is a video parody of REM’s End of the World as We Know It. Video included below the break.

WTF is up with that? (via boingboing)
Received a batch of these earlier this year from a cow-orker. Here is wellness tip #1.
It made me laugh. My cow-orker didn’t share his source, but I’ve linked back to the page listed in the image.

We’re all stupid at some point in our lives. Simple things like putting batteries in the correct way sometimes eludes even the best of us. But when you are going to rob a bank, be sure to use your smartest brain cells.
He told the teller not to do anything stupid.
Too bad the bank robber didn’t take his own advice.
After he robbed a Bank of America on West Hillsborough Avenue last December, court records say, Etni Ortiz left his resume behind — dropped it, actually, when the bank’s dye pack exploded. Police found it outside the bank in a pile of dye-stained money. There were also photos, one of Ortiz. The picture, too, was stained with red dye.
Nine days later, Ortiz robbed First State Bank at 5700 Clark Road in Sarasota, according to documents on file in U.S. District Court.
Well, so much for that spree. I think the resume is a stroke of genius in a way, though. Now, someone can help him properly update it so he can find a better job. They probably will also coach him to leave “Failed bank-robber” off the skills section, though. Maybe just put something like “Escaped bank premises with over $3000 in two robberies” without highlighting the getting caught nor leaving behind a resume bit. Hell, this makes me think I should start a bad criminal resume writing service.
