What's wrong with Gordie?

Wil Wheaton found this YouTube video of a trailer for his old movie, "Stand By Me." Only in this trailer, young Gordie is a little... off.

Click here to see what's wrong with Gordie.

And if you enjoyed that mashup, here's another one:

The Shining... as a Romantic Comedy.

If anyone knows of any more of these let me know. They're hilarious!

Ghost Relations

Ok so I love Disneyland and specifically, I love the Haunted Mansion. Most of all, I love the Interweb for letting people post cool as hell stuff like this blog about the Mansion and it's inner workings:

ghostrelationsdept.blogspot.com/

According to the header there, this blog is "a weekly blog with new, obscure or just plain odd information about the Disney Haunted Mansions."

Fun!

    Improv Everywhere

    Two posts in one day! I am on a roll! :)



    So these people decided to "prank" Best Buy. I say prank but I don't think it is an actual prank so much as a chance to cause a scene and have some fun. This site is dedicated to organized fun and according to their FAQ - they strive to "bring excitement to otherwise unexciting locales and give strangers a story they can tell for the rest of their lives. We're out to prove that a prank doesn't have to involve humiliation or embarrassment; it can simply be about making someone smile."

    Their website is improveverywhere.com and you can read their hilarious missions there. But the one that caught my eye is their latest mission which targeted Best Buy. The plan was to get as many "agents" together as possible, dress like Best Buy employees, enter the store and help customers.

    They've got pics and video of the event. Great stuff!

    Starlords



    For your inner geek, Misshapenfeatures.com brings you, "Starlords" - a Lord of the Rings/Star Wars video mashup that's both clever and amusing.

    The have several quicktime vids that blend the two monster franchises together seamlessly in joyous parody.

    Off topic - I've been absent for a while. Sorry to the 2 or 3 of you who read this :) I'm trying to get back on track with all my blogs.
