On this week's
How I Met Your Mother, two things were shown that frightened me: Strange, naked men and an iPhone being dropped in a toilet. Thank god it was just Hollywood make-believe.
What's also funny about the HIMYM incident is that even though a vengeful woman deliberately drops Barney's phone in the loo, I have had far too many friends to count, accidentally drop their phones into the toilet.
Remember that kid on Christmas morning who totally freaked out when he got a Nintendo 64 (the
one I parodied, ahem)? Yeah, this family is not exactly that excited about their Xbox surprise. Oh, they're excited, they just have a lot of control.
Soap on a rope used to be a punchline, but now it's back with an ironic vengeance; check this
Karaoke Soap on a Roap ($12) from Urban Outfitters.
Think about it; it's supremely efficient — you need to wash your body, and you need to sing in the shower, so you have killed two birds with one stone. Then again, you might just grab a bar of Dove from Walgreens and sing acoustically.
The webapp
Turn Your Name Into a Face is pretty self-explanatory: you type your name into the only field on the page, and it gives you a super-pixelated avatar. Different name, different avatar. Yes, that's all it does.
It's a good thing I have
The Soup to fill me in on things I missed from
The Hills — without them, I would have missed this "Lost Scene" in which Audrina learns about the
Large Hadron Collider. I guess I should have predicted her reaction, but it doesn't make it any less awesome.
Check out this
hilarious spoof of Microsoft's blue screen of death by the nation's most trusted satirist,
The Onion.
You thought there'd be no fallout from those new "
I'm a PC" commercials? Think again.
You know the expression. "Humping like rabbits," I believe, is the preferred nomenclature, hmmm . .
Ever wanted to see Lego you, matching you by height and body measurements? If you've got $60,000, you can make your dreams a reality.
The
Lego-ization is courtesy of Neiman Marcus, who is apparently completely unaware of the ongoing economic crisis.
No one ever wants to see a blue screen of death (unless it's for
a good chuckle, that is), but this was irresistible. Your fail failed!

I really could have used Gmail's new
Mail Goggles feature back in college. Not only was I partaking a little more of the alcoholic beverages, but I was also more apt to know the math questions it's supposed to ask you when you try to send an email late at night.
The issues we face, as drinking geeks, are so much harder than our parents' generation.
