Best Fails of 2009 Proves “Oohh!!” Is Our Natural Reaction To Failure
Posted by The Gimcracker in Fail on 02. Mar, 2010 | No Comments
There are two levels of Fail. If a fail places in the “miniscule to minor” range, the reaction is always laughter. If the fail falls anywhere above that range, the reaction is always “Oohh!!” – regardless of language spoken. This video proves it. For example, watch the three clips in a row starting at 47 seconds in. The reactions are always “Oohh!!” because the person might be hurt. The very next clip (55 seconds) where the dude falls off the rock in the water merits laughter because he’s obviously not hurt. The only exception to this rule is if a woman is filming the fail, in which case the reaction is a scream.

This is today’s Penny Arcade comic strip. It is probably one of my favorite PA’s of all time. So simple. So Poignant.
There should be another panel with Rorschach from Watchmen stalking Batman stalking the Splinter Cell guy stalking the goon, and then even one more panel after that with Chuck Norris stalking Rorschach. Whoa.

I Am A Big Fan Of Gabriel Delahaye
Posted by The Gimcracker in Blogging, Gaming, ROFL, Stuff On The Internet on 26. May, 2009 | No Comments
I already know of one Gabe who is really funny on the Internet, and that’s the one who writes for Penny Arcade. Surely there can’t be two Gabes who are really funny on the Internet. Well I have found a second Gabe who is even better than the first one. He is my favorite person in all of the Internet/TV/Movies/Culture/All this month.
Let me begin by introducing you to him in a way that will immediately show you what he’s all about. That way you can watch this first video and decide if A) you agree with me and want to find out more by reading the rest of the post and commenting about how much you agree, or B) you don’t agree and you don’t feel like wasting your time. Most bloggers wouldn’t be so courteous as to help you with major Internet decisions like this. TMG’s a little different. A special different.
TheSixtyNine – April Fools
Posted by The Gimcracker in Blogging, Stuff On The Internet on 01. Apr, 2009 | No Comments
I wonder if people will even notice. They even went to the trouble of changing the favicon. That’s what’s great about this site – people will probably be offended by the sexual reference, but Sam & James don’t care. They are truly doing this site exactly how they want to do it without selling out. This, along with the “Holy Sh*t” sound (from Unreal Tournament) that plays when you max-bump (now “max-heart”) a song, are what make me love this site. Oh yeah and the music’s great too. Check out Metric when you get a chance:
IQ Fail
Posted by The Gimcracker in Fail, Stuff On The Internet on 04. Feb, 2009 | No Comments
Found this on Facebook today. It’s comforting to know that even if I do take the ad-ridden crappy IQ test and jump through all the hoops to find out my highly inaccurate IQ score and happen to somehow not score as highly as Jessica Simpson who I really believe sat down and actually took this same test, at least I’ll know I’m smarter than the person that wrote the ad.
5 Things To Brighten Your Day

It seems like everywhere I turn I’m pimp smacked by the hand of bad news. Doom and gloom abounds on TV, in the movies, and even everyday conversations with people. Our economy is dying. Both presidential candidates suck. Gas prices are way up. The Colts played terribly on Sunday. Global warming. Murder. Abortion. Capital punishment. [...]
Why I Read “Basic Instructions”
Posted by The Gimcracker in ROFL, Stuff On The Internet on 09. Oct, 2008 | 1 Comment
A while back, a good friend introduced me to the web comic called Basic Instructions. As I’m writing this the website is down, and I’m pretty sure it’s because today’s strip is hilarious and everyone’s reading it. It must have gotten submitted to Digg or something. If you don’t read this comic, you should. I’m [...]
What Is Wrong With This Picture?
Posted by The Gimcracker in News, Stuff On The Internet on 18. Sep, 2008 | 3 Comments
That’s a screenshot of Digg at around 11:00 AM on 9/18/08. What is wrong with that picture? You don’t have to look very close.
8 of the top 10 stories are anti-McCain/Palin and pro Obama. Why do I still read Digg? Oh that’s right, because it’s the best thing ever created, despite all the political articles. [...]
Cats Are Funny. Here’s Proof.

Well my cat Remy just caught and killed a bird. She’s Basement Cat because she’s all black, so what did you expect? My wife flipped out because Remy was trying to revive the dead bird so she could play with it more, and occasionally she would look up at us with white feathers all around [...]
DeSean Jackson: Talented Idiot

In case you missed the Monday Night Football game last night between Philly and Dallas, I’d like to show you something.
First of all, the game was amazing, and I don’t regret how tired I am this morning due to watching the entire game.
Secondly, I hate Terrell Owens. He was the only player that [...]
