  1. This had the potential to be funny, but it wasn't, because rather than making a silly, sarcastic point, and then moving on to the next sarcastic point, he made the sarcastic point, and then explained why it was sarcastic, which just comes across as though he doesn't expect anyone to get the joke. Like when he was talking about dogmatic terminology, and then started explaining the joke. WE GOT IT. MOVE ALONG.

     

    When you have to explain your jokes, they aren't jokes, lol. It just makes the audience feel like you think they're dumb. A for effort, C- for execution.

  2. Cool, but terrifying how they are waving it around. I had one that was much less powerful, but looked exactly the same at night (you could throw a seemingly endless solid green beam into the sky in the dark). Even that one was terrifying to use indoors, because there are so many surfaces that it can reflect off of and accidentally hit you in the eye. Something like the one above is powerful enough to likely cause near instantaneous damage to your eyeballz.
  3. This isn't so much a joke, but this was what Zach Galifianakis said during an interview on The Daily Show the other day:

     

    “Before we went to interview the president, I ate in the White House with his staff — you know, young, six to eight of them. There’s a restaurant in the White House,” Galifianakis said during an appearance on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”

     

    “You don’t have to pay, but there’s a dessert menu,” the comedian continued. “And on the dessert menu, there’s something called Chocolate Freedom.”

    At this point, Stewart interjected, expressing disbelief that such a dish existed.

     

    “Yeah, and I say to the staff, not trying to be funny, ‘You guys call the president that, right?’”

     

    Galifianakis said he was worried he might get in trouble for the wisecrack, but that it was well received by the staff.

     

    “You know what they said?” he continued. “You’ve got to ask him that!”

  4. This is funny. After (AFTER!!!) you watch it, click through to see the comments, and your mind will be blown at the sheer number of people who didn't understand it.

  5. Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just following the rules laid out in Article IV, Section 24.6b of the Internet Guidebook with regards to forum etiquette:

     

    24.6b: No user shall ever post an image or video on any forum board that has already been posted on that forum board. It is the responsibility of any user to search every thread in existence on the forum board, from inception to present day, to ensure that the image or video does not already exist in some capacity.

     

    Any user failing to check the entire history of the forum board for the pre-existence of material will be subject to a "REPOST" reply, in which they will be humiliated and demeaned for their poor effort, and for their obvious inability to properly utilize the internet.

  6. Yeah, the entire apartment has all electrical and cable outlets sideways for some reason. I assume that is an aesthetic decision (the building is only 10 years old.)

     

    As for this "structural issue" I'm not sure what happened. I pulled the outlet in the bedroom and looked inside and there is clearly a giant 3/4" or so hole from where he started drilling through the plywood in the wall. I could stick my screwdriver all the way into it and couldn't even get to the end of it. The wall must be really thick. I'm starting to think "structural issue" was just "my drill bit wasn't long enough."

     

    I also don't understand WTF they did. I wish they would have called me first because if they were going to do that, I'd at LEAST have them put the jack in the living room directly across from where he ended up feeding that external line into the wall, which would have saved him the trouble of fishing it BACK to where I wanted it, and would have resulted in that outlet actually being BEHIND the entertainment center, which would have been even better. I don't understand at ALL WTF happened here, though.

     

    I might just try to find someone in the area who knows this stuff, and have them come here unbeknownst to the office, and see if he can fix it for free. I really can't understand what "structural issue" there was?! Maybe there really is something, but I don't know what. I'm handy enough that if it was my own house I'd just do it myself, but I figure if I can just find an "expert" in the area, maybe they can tell me WTF the guy was trying to do. Too bad I know exactly ZERO people in this part of the country, lol, much less a cable guy.

  7. My cable jack is on the wall opposite of where I want it in the living room. So I tell my leasing office that there is a jack in the bedroom, right on the other side of the common wall that I want the jack on. So they say, "Sure! No problem! We can split it to the other side of the wall!"

     

    So I come home from work today to find this, which is exactly what I wanted. Yay!

    ...but then I see the note left by the maintenance guy saying, "Ran into structural issue. If this does not work for you, call the office and we will attempt to remedy it."

     

    Uh oh...

     

    So I walk into the bedroom to find this:

    LOL. Wtf?! That looks like a 6-year-old's solution to the problem!
