It Almost Was A Three Way

I submitted these items over a few weeks time, turns out yesterday and today they all hit the pixelways:

Which is worse? Me thinking I have something of value to say? Or the fact that I’m bragging about it?

UPDATE: Just found out that SIL knows this guy that got a question in on the debates last night. So I know a guy that knows a guy…

Haiku Challenge – Fewest Total Words?

What is the fewest number of words you can use for a Haiku? I want the Haiku, not the number wise guys!

You can’t use refrigerator.

UPDATE: Here’s my first attempt:

gentlemanliness?

now discombobulation.

misunderstanding!

Chris has thrown down a mighty challenge: three word haiku. However, he had to add a qualifier so that it made sense.

So Haiku in three words!

Happy Birthday Polaroid – the Camera That Launched Home Grown Pr##

Sixty years ago today, the morals of America started their distinct downward spiral as Edwin Land introduced the first Polaroid Camera. It was on that day, that guys everywhere decided they needed – wanted – desired – a nekkid photograph of their girlfriend.

In 1963, Land invented instant color photographs to better help the fledgling industry he unabashedly launched.

Continuing through to present day, Polaroid still makes it possible to embarrass the heck out of anyone you want via digital photos.

Now it doesn’t take SIXTY seconds, it’s instantly.

Have we progressed in SIXTY years or what?

Before you go digging around in the attic for your old Polaroid and put it on eBay:

The type 95 was the first Polaroid camera, and it was introduced in 1948. They sold thousands of things in the fire of 1950, so they have no value. In fact, virtually all Polaroid cameras are virtually nothing today. No interest collectible, and not really usable value.

BTW: you do know that waving around a Polaroid photo while outside the camera developing was totally unnecessary and made you look like total retard?

Denny Crane As Oliver Douglas: Recast Green Acres!

BuzzSugar has a regular weekly feature where readers are asked to recast an old television series.

Green Acres was, and is, one of my favorite moldy-oldies.

So here’s my pick (either real-life or tv character they play.)

  • Oliver Douglas – Denny Crane (William Shatner’s part on Boston Legal.)
  • Lisa – Kelly Ripa (Regis and Kelly co-host)
  • Hank – Michael Scott (Steve Carrell’s character on The Office.)
  • Eb – Sarah Silverman (Eb as a sharp, foul mouthed, jew!)
  • Mr. Haney – Donald Trump
  • Mother Douglas – Dame Edith Evans

Yeah, that would work!

Spoiler: responses to the “contest.”

UPDATE: Hey everbody! Lookit this:

Most recently, she was tapped to work on the newly reimagined pilot of the 70’s sitcom, Green Acres (Para-Scope Productions), with veteran TV helmer Richard L. Bare.

The casting director for the new Green Acres commented below! Kewl -
