Disney’s Stealing Ideas

Most recent Disney movies (at least their animated ones) have been just rehashed stories/plots from previous movies, but what they did with The Lion King appears to do be downright plagiarism.

Taking Self-Defense To A Whole New Level

I didn’t need to get snipped. All I really need to do is piss off this lady enough, and she’ll end up biting off both my nuts (that guy got away with one of them still intact). Thanks several people for the link.

Anybody Want To Help With A Practical Joke?

Several of the girls in our office here are planning a mom’s weekend at one of our bigger houses. Some of the guys (and a couple of the girls who have to work) are thinking about playing a practical joke on them. Anybody have any ideas? We were thinking along the lines of a male stripper calling the house, asking for directions, but none of us could do it because all the women there would recognize us (or even hiring a really BAD stripper show up at the door — I’m sure I could get some money from folks here to pay somebody for that). Anybody up to the task or have any other great ideas? E-mail me (jake at orty dot com).

Life Or Something Like It

While I managed to get some links posted yesterday, that was primarily because I was waiting for about a dozen high-quality PDF jobs to be spat from our printer at work so I figured I’d clear out my inbox. Otherwise, still working my butt off, not finding time for anything — so pretty much like two days ago. My wife had a tooth pulled today, so I’ve been taking care of her and the kids. I’m also completely re-writing my music for a piece in the band because it’s written very poorly and we don’t have enough people to cover all the parts on all the sheets of music (some composers just don’t know how to write percussion parts properly, in my opinion). Re-writing that part is taking up any free time I have, because our concerts are in a few weeks, the piece is a mess, and it needs to get done (my dad is doing the same with his parts). All in all, free time is at a minimal, but will try to get some great links sitting flagged in my RSS reader posted tomorrow.

That’s Gotta Be Embarrassing

You know you’re never going to hear the last of it when your fire station catches on fire, destroying one fire engine and hurts three firefighters (and sorry about the printable page link for O-Live — it’s the only permanent link for the thing I could find).

Prank E-Mails

This site is full of hilarious prank e-mails that have been sent to various organizations, but damn it needs an RSS feed so that I keep up on new stuff. I just killed a good chunk of my afternoon reading through the site while I was waiting for a crapload of print jobs to come out of the printer. Fun stuff and thanks anospan for the time-waster.

Imagine The Greeting Cards For This One?

I can only imagine what Hallmark would do for this holiday:

Sex rarely makes the news in Brazil’s conservative Northeast – until a small town declared an official Orgasm Day on Monday.

Espertantina Mayor Felipe Santolia endorsed the May 9 holiday, which he said was intended to improve relationships between married couples.

I’m sure after making the declaration, the mayor plopped himself on his bed, smoked a cigarette and stared at the ceiling for a while. Thanks Barn for the link and joke.
