Sly's WotW

I know we've all seen similar images before but they never cease to amaze me and why I picked this site as this week's Website of the Week:

Cool Art That Messes With Your Head

BTW, since there was no show last week, I thought I'd remind you of last week's WotW as well:

An Engineer's Guide to Cats

Double your pleasure, double your fun! ;-) Hope you enjoy!

~ Sly

Short and sweet.

An Engineer's Guide to Cats.

Hope you enjoy. :-)

With all my "disturbing" websites of the week of late, I thought I'd dial it back a notch and bring some class and decorum back to "Sly's Website of the Week" this week.

As our winning submitter wrote: "Ahhhh, classical music played by professional musicians"

Hope you enjoy! ;-)

Sly

I guess the Easter Bunny got a bad carrot or sumthin'. :-)

The Easter Bunny Hates You

:-)

Sly

Did you know the election was already decided? Yep…the Onion has all the details.

Election Results Accidentally Leaked

(Given the past controversy over hanging chads, etc., I found this rather humourous and maybe a little bit scary.)

;-)

Sly

I find this amazingly creepy, perfect for Website of the Week (and lookie lookie, it’s not video or flash-based). ;-)

Ron Mueck, Hyper Realist Sculptor!

Very cool!

Sly

Ahhhh, so this is why the docking station didn't pan out.

That, or Apple just doesn't give a "crap". ;-)

AirPoo?!?

Funny thing, still makes me want a MacBook Air. ;-)

Sly
Note: Flash intensive and may possibly slow down your machine considerably if too many things running at once.

Baby Boomers Unite! Or for those on the cusp of the Baby Boomer stage, or just to see what life may have in store for ya, I present:

Baby Boomers Begin Collecting Their Social Security

(Shawn you have watch this all the way through to know at what point I laughed out loud watching this. (Hint: Jean Jean the Dancing Machine will come to your mind at that point.)

;-)

Sly

Ok..haven’t had a game as a wining site in a while and this one is sure to drive you bonkers. (It's *perfect* then!) ;-)

OneMoreLevel.com - Spin the Black Circle

Um...enjoy! :-D

Sly
(BTW, just let it load until you see the start of the game; it goes through a couple of credits first.)

Frozen Grand Central Station

Very funny to watch people's reactions. :-)

Enjoy!
Sly

Real or fake? You be the judge.

Either way, on gross gross factor alone, I present this week’s website of the week:

Bird Poops in Mouth

:-)

Sly

Only the second week into 2008 and we are already into the *VERY STRANGE*.

Of course, not surprising considering the source (aka, winning submitter). :-)

Pork, not just the "other" white meat, but also quite the entertainer!

It may be strange, but I defy anyone not to chairdance just a little bit to it. :-)

Enjoy!

Sly

Welcome to another year of Websites of the Week! ;-)

As Shawn says “Frickin’ Determined Squirrels!”

Enjoy! ;-)

Note: May take a while to load.

Sly

We have a tie for this week's Website of the Week!

First: Nothing says Merry Christmas more than a game of "Don’t Shoot Your Eye Out!" Right?? ;-)

Our second winner wasn’t the only one who sent in this site, but she was the first one. And in keeping with the holiday spirit, we’ll award two Websites of the Week this week. Besides, you can’t beat turkeys dancing on a train!

Enjoy!
Sly

I defy anyone to say that after a while of reading this week's Website of the Week they don’t start imitating Christopher Walken!

As Shawn said to me you can hear his voice in your head as you read this - it's so true! ;-)

The 12 Days of Christmas, Christopher Walken Style

Sly

So while I'll admit that I was an early adopter of James Blunt's music – yes yes I’m a sap – I have to say that after hearing his song "You're Beautiful" EVERYWHERE, including my iPod a gagillion times and then some, I can't help but get a little chuckle out of Weird Al's take on it.

"You're Pitiful"

Enjoy!
Sly
p.s. We'll be featuring Christmasy (is that a word?) themed Websites of the Week for the next couple of weeks leading up to the jolly 'ol fat guy's arrival, so don't forget to send in your funny, cool or wacky Christmas/holiday related sites!

This week’s Website of the Week isn’t in English but its great use of Flash means no translation required. ;-).

FYI - the animation doesn't start right away so give it a few seconds to begin.

Hope you enjoy!

Sly

It’s Turkey Day in the US this week and I figured it was only fitting that our Website of the Week this week be a reflection of that, so thanks to the crazy folks at Jib Jab, and our winning submitter, of course, for this week’s chuckles:

Internally Yours
Holidays in History, Thanksgiving Edition
Dr. Science
Oh oh, Cranberry Carnage

Being the twisted person that I am, I enjoyed the first and last ones the most. :-)

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to all our American listeners!

Sly

They say that laughter is the best medicine. Well, it’s definitely infectious especially when it’s out of the mouths of babes – I defy anyone to say that they didn’t laugh even just a wee bit watching these little guys:

Little Ethan
Wiiiiiiii!
He’s got the 'Snagglepuss' laugh!

Hope you enjoy!

Sly

This week’s Website of the Week is CNET’s Top 5 List of the Differences Between Macs and PCs, which is, okay kinda funny, but it led me to this one: CNET's Top Five Biggest Tech Fanboys, for which the title and the fact that we often refer to them as MacMacs, made me laugh.

Enjoy!
Sly

As the disclaimer notes:

WARNING: This video contains EXCESSIVE VIOLENCE against animated pumpkins. If that kind of thing freaks you out, click away.....NOW!

Happy Halloween! JibJab Style

Hehehehe...

Sly

Remember how the lamest of jokes would just floor you as a kid, well now you can torture your kids or nieces/nephews with these lame Halloween Jokes.

Q. What did the skeleton say to the vampire?
A. You suck.

See! :-)

The best part though is at the very bottom of the page, there’s a link to a Halloween forum, and you can get all kinds of ideas for Halloween decorations, costumes, recipes, etc. Hopefully I’ll find my recipe for witches' fingers cookies in my kitchen – but if not, I bet I find it at this site.

So if you’re really into Halloween, check out the jokes and then check out the Halloween forums for great ideas to make Halloween night around your house especially ghoulish. (While listening to YML next week, of course.) :-)

Sly

We kick off the Halloween season with Halloween Hangman!

(Nothing like getting insulted by the "hang-ee" - a skeleton no less - as you play.) :-)

Enjoy!
Sly
p.s. And let's see if we can get a few more Halloween related sites for the next couple of shows, leading up to Halloween night (and a show night) Oct 31st. ;-)

"How to Live Your Childhood Dreams" - the final lecture of terminally ill Professor Randy Pausch at Pittsburgh College is quite stirring and very inspirational. If you have a few moments to watch the lecture in its entirety, you can't help but feel that this is a person with his priorities right and the world is a lot richer for having him in it and will be missing something special when he eventually loses his fight with terminal cancer.

And while he admits that his lecture won't be a spiritual or religious journey, he confesses to coming to an important realization: "Although I will tell you that I have experienced a deathbed conversion. I just bought a Macintosh. … Now I know I'd get 9 percent of the audience with that," Pausch said. :-)

"How to Live Your Childhood Dreams"

Sly

This week's Website of the Week was submitted by one of our sponsors (unfortunately, this person can't win the prize for obvious reasons :-) ), but I thought it was such an interesting site, I couldn’t pass it up.

Daily Literature - Classics Sent to You by Email

Basically, you just sign up to get an entire book (public domain) – mostly classics - sent to you via email, in one small readable section at a time. For example, our winning submitter signed up to receive James Joyce’s Ulysses, which they've always been curious about but intimidated by; in small doses though, it works!

Hope you enjoy!

Sly

Not that Cadbury needs any free PR from us, but what the heck....love the music, love the work it took to do this and love the gorilla.

Yes, I said Gorilla.

In the Air Tonight

:-)

Sly

Well every cat owner can probably relate to the sentiment behind this week's website of the week:

The Mean Kitty Song

However, I hope none of us can relate to the bad rapping in this song.

;-)

Enjoy!
Sly

Ummmm.....ooooookaaaayyyyy! :-)

Brokeback Star Trek (From the good folks at JibJab)

Don't hurt me, Lesa. ;-)

Sly

I found this myself, so technically there is no winner of this week's "Website of the Week", since well, I can't award it to myself, but I just had to share this little tidbit of intellectual stimulation:

From the Miss Teen USA Pageant during the mind-numbing "Interview Segment"

I could be wrong, but I get the impression that Miss South Carolina has no idea what she said.

:D

Sly

Tic Tac Toe with a Twist!

It’s the game tic tac toe as you remember it *but* you have to answer trivia questions in order to win the square. And they’re not always the easiest questions either.

Be prepared for some wasted hours. ;-)

Hope you enjoy!

Sly
