caption contest, weird robot costumes

It’s time… for our weekly caption contest!  As usual, write some funny text to go with this picture.  (Yes, it’s really that simple.)

This week’s picture involves people in cheap robot costumes.  I don’t know the original context of this photo, but that makes it even more fun.  🙂   So figure out what could possibly be going on here.  (Feel free to use your imagination as much as you want.)

stop-motion video of a wolf chasing a pig

Here’s a really neat video I came across.  (And for those of you questioning my choices of YouTube videos to promote here, this is not one of those so-bad-it’s-funny videos.)  This video was made with lots of pictures, and pictures of pictures — 1300 pictures, actually.  This stop-motion video displays a lot of creativity and originality, and it’s obvious they put a lot of thought and effort and time into it.  If you enjoy photography and/or making videos, you’ll really appreciate it.  But I think anyone might like it, too, which is why it’s here.

The video is about a man in a wolf costume chasing a pig.  Yeah, it’s random, which goes with the theme of this site.

dream job – get paid to be a tourist

If you’re able to take a couple months off work and go to Orlando, you can get paid $25,000 to be the ultimate tourist.  You just have to ride all the rides, tour the attractions, eat at the restaurants, and enjoy all the spas.  You just carry around a camera and camcorder, and you write blog posts about your experiences.  So basically you’re on a two-month vacation, plus you document it.   Tough job, huh?

FYI, Orlando is the home of Disney World, Universal, and SeaWorld.  I’m thinking I could do this…

the danger of cleaning a shared fridge

I used to work in a corporate environment, where a whole floor of people had to share the same refrigerator.  As you might expect, people sometimes forgot about their food and left it in there for a long time.  But a policy was developed that the fridge was cleaned out at the end of every week.   Apparently the AT&T building in San Jose, CA, didn’t have such a policy.

Recently an office worker was cleaning the office fridge, and the resulting smell was so noxious that 28 people needed treatment for vomiting and nausea, and 7 were sent to hospital.  I’ve smelled some stinky stuff before, but that’s inconceivably bad.  Actually, that’s beyond stink — that’s some stank!  They had to evacuate the entire building!  And it gets even worse — the hazmat team was called in!

When I lived at “the bachelor pad” in college, the fridge occasionally got out of control, and we joked about leftovers trying to conquer the fridge, but it never actually happened.   But obviously the mold did take control of that office fridge and required professionals to defeat it.

The irony of that story is that the person cleaning it didn’t get sick, because she couldn’t smell due to allergies.

There’s probably a moral to the story…
