What would you do if your boss keeps misspelling your name? =/

Passive-aggressive WiFi

Just found out that I’ve got my very own passive-aggressive WiFi-broadcasting neighbour. Not as imaginative as the ones shown here, but still… huh!

Giggle

I know it’s childish, but somehow I can’t help but be amused by the lower left icon on my work computer…

South Park shout-out on The Simpsons

louist — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:17:49 +0000

The Simpsons has been rather… lacklustre of late, but they do have some pretty amusing (random?) gags within the episodes – the most recent episode has a short bit where four of the kids are dressed up like South Park characters, paralleling the typical South Park bus stop scene. Hilarious!

Endorsed vandalism

Today’s Pearls Before Swine strip is pretty much an open invitation to indulge in some wiki-vandalism – and lo and behold, it’s already been done!

Facebook spying

I had some Facebook friend requests from students as early as during my practicum, and I’d deliberated for some time before deciding to accept those requests. The basic idea was that hey, I don’t really have much that I’m hiding anyway, plus it seemed like a way to get to know the kids better. I don’t actively stalk their profiles (who has the time?), but occasionally some really funny gems end up on my main page anyway.

Essentially, the head prefect had failed to write his name on his examination script, and when the discipline master (who was invigilating) made a fuss about it, he’d sheepishly owned up – much to his classmates’ amusement. I wish I’d been there! =P

This one was rather sad really. Here we see ‘elite school’ kids bragging to each other about… how little they study. Which is totally funny (painfully funny? funnily painful?), because of course I wasn’t doing anything of the kind a decade ago!

(…or was I? I can’t really remember. But I suspect it’s possible. How very depressing!)

An atheist's prayer

laptop is saved! praise be to the flying spaghetti monster! may his noodliness bless this lowly hard drive that it might lose no data during recovery tonight. ramen.

Is it normal to be simultaneously offended and amused by this? On the one hand, it is clearly condescending towards theism with the invocation of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but on the other, you’ve got to hand it to the author for the clever play on words…

Favourable exchange rate

So apparently the Straits Times is saying that the Euro is worth something like 0.2 Singapore cents. I guess this is the perfect time to head to Europe for a vacation.

'Disney label' Transformers

louist — Wed, 13 May 2009 08:09:49 +0000

This has gotta be one of the funniest Transformers-related comic I’ve ever seen. Based off the highly amusing (and confusing!) Disney label Transformers.

Trust Japan to somehow come up with a way to mesh their love of Disney with their love of mecha. I wonder if they’ll add any other figures to this line? A Donald Duck Megatron, perhaps?

Lose your man boobs

It’s almost as though Google knows I haven’t been exercising lately – I keep seeing this everywhere I go! I wonder if it’s a case of cookie-based targeting – if so, I’m not quite sure if I should be concerned, worried or offended that Google’s trying so hard to push this advert onto me.

(Plus, man, that picture is just plain gross.)

Time to start jogging again!
