Here’s a great idea… and it’s good that a company had the audacity to make it.  It’s a remote control teddy bear.  It makes a farting noise when you push the button on the remote control.  This would be great for parties!  You could leave it on the couch, so people would pick it up to move it and some people would have to hug it, and then after you activate it, laughter would ensue.

If they ever make a version 2.0 of it, here’s something they should add — have multiple buttons on the remote for different volumes.  Sometimes you’d want it to let a quiet fart, one where the people in the room thought they might’ve heard someone cut one, but they aren’t sure, so you have that awkward moment where everyone looks around and half the people want to laugh and the other half want to be all offended and/or mortified.  🙂  And it should have at least 20 different fart sounds, for even more laughs.

I want a Nintendo Wii when it comes out.  And I figured out a great way to pay for it.  Of course when I get it, I’ll want to “break it in”, so taking a couple of days off work sounds like a good idea.  And since I get paid for my vacation / PDO days, I’ll be getting paid for playing games.  And within two days I’ll have made enough (from not working) to pay for the cost of the console.  And so by not working for two days and playing games instead, it’ll all pay for itself!  How great is that?  I’d even be willing to work a day or two to get a Wii, but I’m most certainly willing to not work a couple of days to get one!  🙂

I found an interesting site called Net Disaster, where you can enter a website’s URL and choose what kind of destruction you want to happen to the page.  It’s all virtual, so no actual harm is done.  But it sure is fun.  You can have it attacked by dinosaurs, wasps, mold (which really makes the page look gross), meteors, flood (with fish), flowers, nukes, alien spaceships, chain saw, a text sucker (which actually does pull the words off), a scribbling baby, fried eggs, spilled coffee, thrown tomatoes, a demonstration by picketers (with appropriate signs), vomit (which is of course gross, but yet shockingly funny — just watch), acid pee (this one is definitely random!), dog poop (they put some detail into this one; let it run for a while), and of course cow patties.  There are even a few more options, but you can find them for yourself.

Some of the disasters you can initiate with your mouse (by choosing “mouse” from the drop-down box), but they didn’t all work right on this site.  It defaults to “self-repair”, but you can change it to “massive” to make the destruction accumulate (for each effect only, though).  And some of the disasters have more options, which you can read about on the website by clicking “Learn more…”.  For example, you can tell the cow where to go, you can change the color of the graffiti spray-can, you can choose to swat the flies yourself, etc.  Sometimes you can click “alt” and make it work on a page where it wasn’t working right.

Feel free to use the Buffet o’ Blog site in your fun “experiments” with this.  (It helps run up our page hits count.)  🙂
