Flamethrower Trombone – Exactly as it sounds:

Karate Kid and Golden Girls Nesting Dolls – Witness, among other delights, the Cobra Khai leader caught in a particularly thoughtful moment.

The Man In A Black Raiders Cap – DJ Topcat presents Eazy E. vs. Johnny Cash – Folsom Prison Gangstaz. I can’t stop listening to this.

Things Organized Neatly – My favorite recent Tumblelog find.

James Brown, For Nissin Miso – Get on up with cup miso. This is likely my favorite Japanese ad since Schwarzenegger’s gripping multi-roleoscar caliber performance for DirecTV

Tablecloth Hour – A Japanese arcade game (or is it a sim?) currently in public testing that challenges you to upset a virtual placesetting by yanking a square of physical cloth.

The Rosa Parks Of Blogs – “Absurd Comparisons By Real People Using Famous People.”

A Brain Paper For The Mysterious Dr. Khoo – A case of mistaken identities stretched into an extended back-and-forth between Dr. Zachary and an emailer who thinks he’s a *different* Dr. Zachary. (NSFW: Salty, limit-testing language)

Worst Business Idea Ever – He really thought he had something there.

Sincerity At The Point Of Contact – Love the bowing banktellers on this Japanese ATM “card declined” screen.

How To Be Awesome:

I knew I was missing something. It was the mushroom grips and the Tubes tee.

FreshCloz – One To Watch -Main Pitch: “It’s like having a dry cleaner in your closet!” That the generally objective and balanced Jordan and his SciMark Report blog predicts FreshCloz will “bomb” is noteworthy, and hehworthy.

Hem Gems:

Daily Candy, trend purveyor, throws its endorsement behind another winner. I can’t really get past the notion that folding your jeans and fastening the roll with a little decorative clip has now been called “tailoring.”

The Lowercase L – A blog devoted to tracking and exposing improper uses of the lowercase l.

TO and Chadfinkel!

“Oh Sorry, I Thought You Were Someone Else” – This awkward press conference exchange from Raiders camp reminded me of the story one of the Eddie Murphies tells in Coming To America about meeting Martin Luther (the) King.

I Dunno If You’ve Heard Of This Thing Called Japan… – On some days, there’s nothing better than a really bitter book review. “Is there anything Ashcraft writes about that doesn’t boil down to HEY GUYS I’M IN JAPAN, HEY, HEY GUESS WHERE I AM—GUESS—(IT’S JAPAN)”

Cageflix – “Automatically add every Nicholas Cage movie to your Netflix queue.”

You Were Dial-up When I Met You- Dave Pell calls the internet angrily, in the style of Mel Gibson (NSFW – Mel Gibson language.)

I Always Forget – Is Rodimus A Fibonacci?

10 Of The Weirdest Soccer Goals Of All Time – These “10 most” lists are often little more than so much search engine bait, but this one delivers.

Filler Item – This is the made-obsolete-by-Amazon-Prime site that helps you find an item of an exact cost so as to get free shipping. Not a heh in itself, but it did lead me to two excellent items in the $1.08 to $1.10 range. Someone should really add a spectacular review or two and make Blow!: Jesus Calms the Storm the next Three Wolf Moon. And now I know where to get a cheap Jobber Length Drill. For when you need to drill those jobbers.

Trash Humpers – It’s the fact that “free ringtones” is part of their marketing push that really makes this a heh.

Candid Photo Of Rapper Phife Dawg Enjoying Some Funyuns – I really think this has legs.

Update: Ned/Bra – In case you were wondering what was going on on Twitter just now.

Bike Helmets That Stink When Damaged – In addition to being a heh, it’s just a brilliant idea. Although I would imagine it’s a little tough to separate helmet stink from all of the other olfactory noise of a bike commuter. How about deodorant as the scent?

The Recurring Prop Newspaper – The Wilhelm Scream of prop newspapers. It has really gotten around. [via Leah Jones]

Was Barack Obama In The 1993 Video ‘Whoomp There It Is?

In short, no. And heh. I think a similar investigation should be conducted for competing vintage Florida hip-hop meme Whoot There It Is.

Spike In Google Searches For ‘Ghost Chair’ – If this is a ‘haunted Google Insights’ stunt, it’s a brilliant and subtle one.

Clip Art Gone Wild – Sometimes there’s a fine line between irony and laziness.

The Party Freak – This guy really needs no introduction. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more compelling sell of a party line. This might still work today:

Dangerously attempted prior to coffee this morning.

Scientists Create Laser That Could Make It Rain – Raise your hand if you could have come up with a better visual for this story.

Uh Oh, Pisghettios! – Merlin’s new auto-reply to PR pitch spam.

Dear Kid, We Can’t Accept Unsolicited Ideas…Oh And Plus, Your Drawing Sucks – John Winsor chronicles the predictable and un-human legal form letter he gets back when he sends his 8-year-old’s drawing of a “new plane design” to Boeing.

Poets Ranked By Beard Weight – “First published in England on the eve of The Great War, this quaint publication takes the reader on a fascinating excursion through such topics as False Beards, Merkins, and Capillamenta (chin wigs); Effusions of the Scalp and Face; Celebrated Chaetognaths (chaetognathous = hairy-jawed); and even includes an affectionate mini-essay about the wooly mammoth!”

Octopus Steals Video Camera, Films Own Escape – You know, the old, hackneyed trope. Man films octopus, octopus steals video camera, man pursues octopus, man recovers camera, octopus goes free.

Photo Out Of Context – As it sounds. The rest of the story is way less interesting.

Minimum Wage Machine – “The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. Turning the crank will yield one penny every 5.04 seconds, for $7.15 an hour (NY state minimum wage). If the participant stops turning the crank, they stop receiving money.”

Sandwich Dinosaur – A dinosaur made out of sandwich. Or is that a sandwich made out of dinosaur?

I’m Not Really Sure Why, But Sure:

The Evolution Of The Fax Machine – Heh.
