			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For my first post back from break, I thought I would start with a little humor. The humor I chose isn&#8217;t any humor, but it is humor related to the more serious topics written about in this blog &#8211; the men&#8217;s movement. Watching this clip was almost surreal for me because there was a part of me that thought I should be offended but I wasn&#8217;t and Samantha Bee if hilarious. So watch this fake news piece on the men&#8217;s movement and enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 138px"><img class=" " title="Eliza Coupe" src="http://static.tvfanatic.com/images/gallery/eliza-coupe-as-denise.jpg" alt="Eliza Coupe as Dr. Mahoney on Scrubs" width="128" height="192" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Eliza Coupe on Scrubs</p></div>
<p>I love flight of the conchords. I also love Scrubs. I am also a fan of comedy and the french language. These 4 things came together in the first season of Flight of the Conchords. Watching season 9 of Scrubs, where Eliza Coupe plays Dr. Denise Mahoney I am constantly thinking about &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iSlPoQm2XY" target="_blank">A Kiss Is Not A Contract</a>.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Definitely No Sugar</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, the number one song and video for me from the series is Foux De Fa Fa. If you ever took French in high school and have forgotten everything since this should be pretty funny for you. If you are a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iSlPoQm2XY" target="_blank">francophile </a>with a sense of humor( like myself ), enjoy.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://effinfunny.com/legend-of-neil"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://effinfunny.com/themes/effinfunny/images/lon/banners/180x150.gif" border="0" alt="" width="180" height="150" /></a>In the past I have asked you to <a href="http://ducharme.cc/watch-the-guild/" target="_blank">watch the guild</a>. Mostly because it is a fun web show and partly because it has Felicia Day (also a good reason to watch <a href="http://www.drhorrible.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Horrible&#8217;s Sing Along Blog</a>). Those same two reasons, and because Felicia day mentioned it on Facebook, had me check out the Legend of Neil.</p>
<p>The name itself didn&#8217;t tell me anything about the show. Immediately upon visiting the show&#8217;s site though told me all I needed to know. The Legend of Neil is a show loosely based on the original Legend of Zelda. A game many people of my generation look upon fondly. In <a href="http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2009/11/16/game-informer-s-200th-issue-revealed.aspx" target="_blank">Game Informer magazine&#8217;s 200th edition</a> they listed the the top 200 games of all time and Legend of Zelda came in at number 1.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>Kill Link!</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>The Legend of Neil twists these happy memories a bit. Mostly by loosely basing it of memories of the game rather than going back into the game for research. They then pervert by well thinking,&#8221;what would a drunk guy who got transported into the game because asphyxiated himself with the controller probably see in game?&#8221; Maybe Zelda is less caucasian than the games would have us believe. Perhaps the fairy&#8217;s are a bit frisky.</p>
<p>Did I mention that the fairy is played by Felicia Day? It&#8217;s not a role I would expect to see her in but according to Sandeep Parikh ( the Guild&#8217;s Zaboo ) this is the type of improv she does all the time. In fact the first episode I watched was The Legend of Neil&#8217;s musical episode where a spoof of &#8220;My Favorite Things&#8221; gets a little uncomfortable for a more <em>normal</em> elf.<br />

<div style="border-top: 1px solid #343f43; padding: 5px 0 7px 0; text-align: center; width: 426px; font: bold 10px verdana, sans-serif; color: #c1ddf2; background: #000000;">Atom.com: <a style="color: #c1ddf2; margin: 0 5px;" href="http://www.atom.com/" target="_blank">Funny Videos</a> | <a style="color: #c1ddf2; margin-left: 5px;" href="http://www.atom.com/channels/category_spoofs/?tab=channels" target="_blank">Spoofs</a> | <a style="color: #c1ddf2; margin: 0 5px;" href="http://www.atom.com/channel/channel_legend_of_neil" target="_blank">Legend of Neil</a></div>
<p>The funniest line comes in early when Felicia the Fairy says, &#8220;Oh, i don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m not really into online musicals&#8221;.  Nice.<br />
<br />
I&#8217;ve now watched the whole 2 seasons of Neil and am hoping for a season 3. Have you seen Legend of Neil? What were your favorite parts? There are lots of other classic video game shows floating around the web, what do you like.  All I can say is this made me want to play Legend of Zelda again and now my 6 year old is learning about games through one of the games I grew up with. Sweet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Straight Outta Lynwood" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:jTZenJc7J_diZM:http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000H9HWSM.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="130" />I&#8217;ve been listening to Weird Al Yankovich since the days of Eat It and Like a Surgeon. Of course then I grew up and started listening to ( and occasionally trying to make ) <em>serious</em> music. Also, one of my teachers in college was<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud0TtwPd2l0" target="_blank"> Travis Shredd</a> ( of Travis Shredd and the Good Ole Homeboys ) so I still had a comedic music outlet. But I missed some of his music for a while. As nerdy as I am I missed such great parodies as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMvS1Q1sos" target="_blank">Its All About The Pentiums</a> ( Its All About The Benjamins ) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEcjgJSqSRU">The Saga Begins</a> ( Miss American Pie ).</p>
<p>A couple of years ago though I saw him pushing a new album, Straight Outta Lynwood. This interested me because of the title of the album. Was he actually talking about Lynwood, WA?  No, he couldn&#8217;t be. Could he?</p>
<p>Probably not, there are plenty of <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yj98r55" target="_blank">cities named Lynwood</a> and at least one is in California. The big hit from this album was a parody of the song Ridin&#8217; Dirty called <a href="http://vimeo.com/752979" target="_blank">White &#8216;n Nerdy</a>. I&#8217;ve listened to the song and watched many videos because I can relate ( probably too much ).</p>
<p>About a month or so ago I found a green screen take from the video shoot online. This shoot is a one camera shot of the whole song with Al rapping while Donny Osmond dances in the whitest and nerdiest way possible. Take a gander and enjoy.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rowan Atkinson is a comic legend. If you love British comedy you&#8217;ve probably seen him in something. One of his shows was called Mr. Bean, and this even made it into a mainstream US release as a movie called Bean a few years ago.  Given that this is the week before Christmas and things will be crazy, I thought I&#8217;d lighten up your Holiday stress a little with Mr Bean shopping for the holidays.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://autocompleteme.com"><img class="alignleft" title="Autocompleteme.com" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:P3czOIR5peos3M:http://autocompleteme.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/emperor-P1.gif" alt="" width="130" height="124" /></a>Auto-completing text input fields have made all sorts of applications much easier to use. For search engines, it really helps because we often aren&#8217;t alone in our quests for knowledge. Auto-completion lets us see very popular searches.<br />
<form action="http://www.google.com/cse" id="cse-search-box">

    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-6047221647343234:rto3sovngmv" />

A few weeks ago I read a post that said,&#8221;Go to Google and start typing <em>is there</em>.&#8221; Having a sense that there was something interesting to see I did just that. I typed in <em>is there</em> and the autocomplete field showed me some interesting possible ways to complete my search.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://autocompleteme.com/2009/11/05/oh-to-be-young-and-stupid/"><img title="Autocompleteme.com entry for is there..." src="http://autocompleteme.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1290185179510927031.jpg" alt="Is there anyway I can get this popular guy to get me pregnant" width="500" height="343" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Is there anyway I can get this popular guy to get me pregnant</p></div>
<p>At first you might be thinking to yourself,&#8221;Why does anyone care about Transformers 3&#8243; but you are probably really thinking,&#8221;Oh My God! Is that really a popular enough search to be first?&#8221; That was my first thought, but my second thought was</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;What other things can I type in to find ridiculous autocomplete results?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I searched for a bit and found some funny stuff and I shared some of them with my co-workers. The next day someone pointed me to <a title="AutoCompleteMe.com" href="http://autocompleteme.com" target="_blank">AutoCompleteMe.com</a>. A new site had already sprung up to catalog this phenomena.</p>
<p>There are some great ones, such as when you start by typing in,&#8221;I like to t&#8221;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://autocompleteme.com/2009/10/15/fun-for-the-whole-family/"><img title="autocompleteme.com entry for I like to t" src="http://autocompleteme.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/i-like-to-tape-my-thumbs.jpg" alt="Role playing is so fun" width="500" height="326" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Role playing is so fun</p></div>
<p>Not only did someone want to share their dinosaur role playing habits, but some others have an interest in Jesus that isn&#8217;t what I&#8217;m used to.<br />

I&#8217;ve seen these results myself, and they are surprisingly real. Are people really typing these things in or is this just a little bit of Google employee humor? I&#8217;m guessing its a little of both. Have you seen any interesting results come up in an auto-complete field? If so please share in the comments, maybe you could even take a screen capture and submit it to <a href="http://autocompleteme.com" target="_blank">AutoCompleteMe.com</a>.</p>
