1960s style trailer for Batman: The Dark Knight

You’ve probably seen the recent Batman movie The Dark Knight, featuring the Joker.  (If you haven’t, what’s wrong with you?   It’s only one of the best action movies ever!)  Anyway, someone made a new trailer for that movie but set it in the context of the 1960s Batman TV series (which is good, but cheesy, and takes itself way too seriously).  Prepare to be taken back in time*.

* Not literally.  That technology is still in the research stage.

Now, the video:

car covered in Post-It notes

Someone sent me these pictures via e-mail of a prank of covering someone’s car in colored Post-It notes.  Can you imagine the expression of the car’s owner when he found this?  (Click on the pictures for a larger version.)

Somewhere there’s a VERY unhappy office manager with nothing left in the annual supplies budget.

videos of unusual beatboxing

Today I’m going to link to a few videos I found amusing.  All three are musical, yet not what you’re used to.  Enjoy…

Someone manufactured a video of former President George W. Bush to make it look and sound like he was beatboxing on the mic.  Neat stuff…

On the topic of beatboxing, there’s a guy named Greg Patillo who plays some famous songs on flute while simultaneously beatboxing.  Here’s him doing the Super Mario Bros theme.

There’s another flute player who simultaneously beatboxes. Here’s Nathan “Flutebox” Lee, playing a song I don’t know, but then going into the Knight Rider theme song.

Both of the guys beatboxing on the flute have other videos on YouTube, if you want more.

the fun work atmosphere at Google

What is cubicle life like working at Google?  Apparently not too bad.  Check out this photo gallery for an idea of how it’s very different from your normal tech company.

It says they get three free gourmet meals per day.  And they have pool tables, swimming pools, and you can even get massages.  I’m thinking they should open an office in Arkansas…  🙂

If Buffet o’ Blog ever has corporate offices, it would be like that, but even better!  We’d have unlimited sweet tea for employees, fun breakout sessions for generating new humor and research ideas, ample breaks, Bacon Mondays (where people bring a bacon dish to share with everyone, to make the day better), and extra compensation would be based on creating new, original humor.  (It sounds strange to pay people more for being funny, but that’s what we do here — generate humor.   It’s a great job — well, if only it paid enough for me to be full-time!)
