And then there’s the unexplained involuntary convulsions of laughter we experience when someone gets clipped in the family jewels. All three are funny to us, and from time to time you come across a stretch of creative genius that combines all three to various degrees.

Ascension is one such video. It’s a little over 13 minutes long, but I guarantee it’s worth every second.

]]> If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Youtube, it’s that I have a strange sense of humor. I know this because as I scroll through my Youtube channel subscriptions, I’m surprised by how many quirky youtubers I’m subscribed to. I find myself rolling at some of the things they say and do in these videos.

Take for example this video about drinking your own breast milk. Karen Alloy recorded herself enjoying a cookie along with a bottle of her breast milk. Now, I know what your thinking. Maybe I’m just a sicko and the whole breast thing is what attracted me to this video. Well, you’d be wrong.

While I like walking abreast of people, and ordering chicken breast at a nice restaurant, I’m not 12 any more and the word breast just doesn’t command my attention as much as it (hey look at those) used too.

I actually saw the follow up video first, which features Karen Alloy eating deodorant and drinking glass cleaner (No, I’m sure they weren’t real). That was so funny, I had to see what the joke was and so ensued the breast milk video.

Here’s the follow up video

Now, I’m not saying you should or shouldn’t drink breast milk. I’m sure it has lots of nutritional merits, but I gotta tell ya, the whole 98.6 thing just doesn’t do it for me (not even with a cookie). So, I’ll put the question to you. Would you drink your own breast milk?

Yes, I do understand that the question really lends itself for women to answer. If you’re a harry legged dude with a breast pump and an Internet connection, let me be clear…I don’t want to know (I just think the video is funny).

While you’re considering your answer, be sure to check out the rest of spricket24′s channel while you’re at it. I think she’s pretty funny. Even if she does drink her own breast milk (did she really).

Peace,

I have, more than once. When I was stationed in 29 Palms California in the Marines, a thousand years ago, I made a top notch phone blunder.

One night while I was on barracks duty I answered the phone to the voice of a young lady who was looking for a Marine who lived in the barracks. Earlier that evening the Marine had stopped in and left a message that if Ulanda called, tell her he’d call her back when he returned to the barracks.

Now it wasn’t my responsibility to play answering machine, but barracks duty lasts all night and when you don’t have anything else to do in the middle of the desert, you try to be as helpful as you can be. So when this young lady called asking for the Marine, I naturally assumed she was Ulanda. So, I said, “Is this Ulanda?” It was, in no uncertain terms, NOT Ulanda. Never again did I ask a woman if she was some other woman.

So when I saw this phone etiquette video, I could certainly relate to his pain.

]]> Step one: Admit there is a problem

yes, you have a problem. when the first and last thing (and about 40 more things) you do in a day is check for new tweets, you are addicted. When you constantly look at your iPhone every time someone tweets, you are addicted. Admit this to yourself and move on. Its the only way.

Step two: Crystal Meth

Try doing something less addictive to take your mind off of Twitter. Something like Crack or Crystal Meth should do the trick. No longer will you obsess about Twitter. You will be getting out and interacting in the world. True, the interaction is probably armed robbery or car jacking, but there are government programs to help with that. Twitter addiction, on the other hand, is totally without government support.

Step three: Go Offline

The only way to truly get Twitter under control is to sever the artery of the internet. It is an extremely painful process (due to ISP paperwork and upsells) but a necessary one. Power down that monitor and yell “Get behind me Satan” at the top of your lungs.

Step four: Twinkies

This is going to be a rough time for you. the best known remedy is to drown your sorrows in Little Debbie snack cakes and Twinkies. Just saying the word, “twinkie” makes you feel bloated and greasy. What better way to remove any inkling of Twitter in your life could there be?

Steps five thru twelve:

There really are no other steps, because once you get hooked on Twinkies, Twitter pales by comparison. so far no one has ever needed additional steps. One of the potential steps that were thought up were “Neuro-Shock Therapy”, where tall really fat men were dressed in tutu’s and told to dance Swan Lake while eating M&M’s and carrying a duck. NST was originally developed by the military from a psychological weapons division, but even the military felt it was too cruel for practical use.

Well, hopefully you have cured your Twitter addiction enough to live a happy government controlled life.

And as always, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

It may be a little George Orwell, but I like being connected to people. It speeds my learning and makes me feel healthy. It makes conversations fluid and puts a certain finger tip to my interactions that I was starting to feel with Twitter and Facebook.

I’ll be interested to see what the privacy settings are like as Google continues to roll out more and more of their social search features along with all the other social networking pieces they’ve been quietly working on.

What do you think? Is Buzz to inner circle for you or does it get you all excited?

This year, I think my all time favorite Super Bowl commercial was the Career Builder spot where the young lady is sandwiched between two juvenile male co-workers who are easily entertained by flaming farts. I think what does it for me is the smirk she gives when the boss walks up and the flames reflected in her glasses as the commercial closes. It’s just genius.

So what was your favorite Super Bowl commercial for 2010?

Until now I’ve only been sharing those articles with other Google Reader users that I follow. So, I thought I’d share out some of my favorite stories with you too. Who knows maybe one of them is the thing you’ve been looking to complete your OMG I just have to have it collection. I know mine if far from complete, and I can always use the help.

So, enjoy.

Ready to watch those super bowl commercials again with your friends in real time along with chat? Until this very moment, you probably hadn’t event considered it, but now you can courtesy of SynchTube, the new real time Youtube sharing service.

Here’s what the SynchTube website has to say about their service.

Ever want to share a video with your friend or family, but wish you were there with them to watch so you could enjoy the moment together? synchtube solves this problem by allowing you to share a video in real-time. Simply paste a YouTube link and create a room. You can share this room with others, and watch videos in real-time

To tell the truth, I never knew I was deficient in this area of my life. But now that I think about it, it would be fun to load up a whole playlist of my favorite videos, and then spam the crap out of my friends so that we could all sit around and chat about the best parts of the show. It’s like creating your own customized break from reality. But now, instead of just surfing Youtube clips by yourself, you can compile a list of your most favorite videos and then get the crew together.

I can see all sorts of possibilities for this. Everything from watching family video clips to viewing network TV reruns, American Idol rants to stupid pet tricks. There really is no end to the combinations. You could even use this for rebroadcasting training materials and then collecting feedback and answering questions in the ensuing chat session. It really does seem useful to me.

But there’s one thing I see here. This site is either going to be ad supported, subscription based, or a Youtube buyout at some point. It seems like a natural fit to be purchased by Youtube and then integrated into the existing offering. That is if Google doesn’t just “borrow” the idea first and then claim it as their own.

Either way it’s worth checking out. If you have a good video or playlist to share, post a link in the comments so we can check it out together.

Here’s a sample of their answers.

Matthew said, “Portable blogging platform. Family photo album. Control device for external systems (ex: touchpad for desktop computer). Temporary wall art (dock on wall charger and run screensaver)”. Would definitely use it for email, as it’s a device made for consumption (vs. creation). Another use would be wireframing websites — drag and drop elements into a grid for live mockup sessions with clients.

Christopher said, “The iPad is the perfect tool for kids in school. Imagine having every book you need on a single iPad? Imagine being able to do your classwork or homework without lugging the text books and work books in your backpack or under your arm? This is a different take on One Laptop per Child (OLPC), but a decent attempt nonetheless.”

Lynton said, “To prop up the wonky leg on my dining table! I think they could have made it heaps better. I mean not even a USB port or anything.”

These are all great answers, but let’s not lose focus of what’s really important here, the humor.
