Nearly two years ago I posted a link to some really sick jokes and that entry is still, to this day, getting commenters who are posting even more sick and twisted jokes. Now you have a one-stop Wiki to get your fix, folks, created buy the guy who’s writing the book on the subject.

Dance Dance Revolution For Your Fingers
This little flash game is setup like Dance Dance Revolution, but you use your fingers and have to hit certain keys on the keyboard. I’m better at this than the one where I use my legs — but not much (made it to level three after a few tries).
A Google-Sponsored Google Fight
Well, sort of. Many moons ago I linked to GoogleFight, but Google Trends now does a similar thing, but shows search and news trends which I think is more useful than just raw link numbers. Bubble Boy has a couple great examples of how various searches seems to exactly match Bend’s housing boom.
If You’re Ever Going To Post an Online Review of a Hooker…
…make sure you’re using the proper terminology.
Childproof Isn’t
Happy Mother’s Day, and if you’re a mom or dad or even if you’re not, you’ll appreciate one mom’s writings on the things her five little boys taught her.
I’ve Heard Of Pot Brownies…
…but I hadn’t heard of Meth Bread.
A search of the 1998 Honda Civic yielded a large quantity of meth hidden in a loaf of bread that was in the back seat, Porter said. Ramirez-Avila was taken into custody without incident, and his car was seized, along with $130 in cash, he said.
The 1.25 pounds of meth seized during the investigation had a street level resale value of more than $57,000, Porter said. It would have been enough to provide a single dose of the drug to more than 2,300 meth users in Central Oregon, he said.
Glad to hear it’s off the streets.
On a related note, I still wish I could buy Sudafed without working my ass off to do it, as it works (at least for my wife and I) far better during allergy season than the Sudafed PE-variants too. But thanks to the Meth-addicts, I’m going to have to order the crap online as by the time I get to a store to buy some (as only a few pharmacies locally still sell it), the pharmacy’s closed. So thanks to the habits of a bunch of local druggies (who are getting their Sudafed and drugs from other states/countries anyway), those of us who use the drug legitimately get screwed.
And remember: If you’re going to gripe about not being able to buy your decongestant, don’t joke about having a meth-habit and you’re just trying to get your fix. Rent-a-cops don’t like that.
How Does Bill Gates Work?
He’s got a pretty nice digital setup, and is entirely paperless. Interesting read on how he keeps himself organized.
I Would’ve Flunked College…
…if swimming was a requirement, as it is at many prestigious schools like MIT, Notre Dame, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Columbia. Thanks Al for the link
200 Local Blogs Now Indexed At BendBlogs.com
Yeah, it’s no ORBlogs with its (as of this writing) 1057 blogs, but we now have 200 blogs listed at BendBlogs.com with the 200th being written by a Bend-La Pine school board member.
I’ve now automated the process of searching for new blogs (and I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before) using Google Alerts and the searches I used before.
Some of the feeds don’t get updated that often, but the are some interesting new blogs that I’ve found recently including a local chess club, Harold’s blog, a Central Oregon endurance racing blog, great commentary by Talapus Pete, a Prineville Healthblogger, Simone’s latest venture, Jon’s latest venture, as well as a bunch of LiveJournal and MySpace blogs.
Be sure to check out all these newly found local blogs, and if there is anything I’m missing, something that needs to be removed, etc…, please let me know or submit it here.
