When it comes to fine dining, most people like to eat food that they think will not make them sick or is safe. This is probably why most of these never made it to the franchise level. If you’re going to open up your own restaurant, we recommend using a little more sense than these places did.
Here are a few funny restuarant names we found:
Cabbages & Condoms, Thailand
Finally cabbages and condoms together at last!
Tuckahoe Inn, Beesley’s Point, New Jersey
Apparently they didn’t say that one out loud first…
Dirty Dick’s Crab House, Locations in Virginia Beach, North Carolina, and Florida
Do I even need to explain this one?
Of course, it’s not to be outdone by
Crabby Dick’s, Rehoboth Beach, DE
Casa del Canibal, San Blas, Nayarit Mexico
The Canibal logo really boosts our confidence, too.
Hotel Hell & Restaurant, Italty
Hell – a name that has always been a synonym of tradition and quality.
Cross Butts Stable and Restaurant, North Yorkshire, England
According to this review on Trip Advisor, “Cross Butts Stable Restaurant with Courtyard Suites is a sheer delight”
Have you eaten at any of these places? Know of any other weird or funny restaurant names for us to add to our list?
Halloween is coming. What do you want to be this year? If you’re looking for a funny Halloween costume idea, we have plenty for you!
The Wall Outlet and The Plug
Baby Wonder Bread Costume
This one will make you wonder all right, like “I wonder what kind of parents dress their babies up like Wonder Bread?”
Baby Air Freshener Costume
Genie Costume
This is one Genie who’s lamp I would definitely not want to rub!
Hi! I’m 40 years old, live with my parents, and I dress like a Teletubbie when I am bored.
The Easter Peep
Halloween, Easter, they’re all the same.
The Breathalyzer
In my experiences, a Breathalyzer at a Halloween Party is not usually a good thing!
The Giant Boob
I can’t quite explain it, but something is missing here. Better order one for you and a friend!

Important Safety Tip: Don’t wear this costume if all of your friends are Vegans…or feminists.

Yes, nothing like wearing a Halloween Costume where no one wants to sit next to you during the whole night!

You know what it’s like, you go and start reading blogs, and there’s a zillion flashy things all over the page. These are called Blog Widgets, and if you pick any of the ones off this list below, you are sure to annoy and confuse the hell out of anyone who visits your website.
Dumb Blog Widget #1: Wax On Wax Hoff
Go ahead – try your luck at waxing off chest hair, complete with sound effects and comments. If this doesn’t keep your blog visitors around, what will?
Dumb Blog Widget #2: Shave My Yeti
If waxing isn’t your thing, maybe you could offer to your blog visitors instead a Yeti to shave? Why not?
Dumb Blog Widget #3: Flight of the Hamsters
The instructions were too small for me to read to understand the rules or the point of the game, but it has something to do with launching hamsters into the air and then watching them splat on the ground.
Dumb Blog Widget #4: Happy Sex Hour
This widget allows you to spin the wheel and it chooses a position for you and your partner. I’m guessing if you’re spinning this wheel, you probably don’t even need it.
Dumb Blog Widget#5: MyDogSpace
A MySpace for Dogs!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!
Dumb Blog Widget#6: Peanut Butter Jelly Time
If your blogging objectives are to annoy visitors to make sure they never return, this dancing banana is for you.
Dumb Blog Widget #7: LeekSpin
Watch a girl singing and spinning a leek around. Over and over again. Forever. I have no idea what she is singing about, so hopefully it is not anything obscene!
So what do you think? Do you like any of these widgets? Which one seems to be the dumbest blog widget to you? Have a favorite weird or unusual blog widget I may have missed? Comments are always welcome
A sign that you are getting to be old is that the Classic rock and Oldies radio stations have started playing songs you remember being new in high school.
Another sign that you are getting older is that you go to see what concert tickets are available in your area and you either don’t recognize who any of the performers are or you think to yourself “Wow! They’re still going at it?”
Here are some of the bands I noticed that I can’t believe are still touring:
Fleetwood Mac: I love Fleetwood Mac! But they’ve been going at it since 1967…more than 40 years now!
Chicago: Another band still in it 40 some years later, though ironically the band doesn’t have any of its original members.
Queensryche: They’ve been together for 27 years, and yet I can only think of a handful of people I know that would know who they are and probably less people than that who would be up for still seeing them live. (Unless maybe younger kids are getting into them now?)
Phish: I saw Phish live about 8 years ago. I don’t know why this one surprised me, but it did. I hadn’t thought about them or seen if they’ve had any new albums or songs since about 2001.
Reel Big Fish: Notably one of the worst bands of the late 90’s that I remember, how the heck are they still on tour and people still showing up to watch them?
The Eagles: They take their song lyrics “You can check out anytime you’d like, but you can never leave!” literally apparently.
The Pretenders: Another band I love, but can’t believe is still putting on shows over 30 years since they first started. Chrissie Hynde just had her 57th birthday last September!
It’s really amazing that these bands are still going at it. Such determination. Such a passion for their music. And if I take Stevie Nicks out to eat, we can save 10% off the bill thanks to the senior citizens discount!
Next time you or someone you know starts complaining about getting old, go grab yourself some concert tickets and remember if Stevie Nicks can still do it, so can you.
A few months ago we ordered a few electronic components from a company called Mouser.com. (They are really great if you need anything electrical!) But, ever since then we’ve been receiving this lovely 2500+ page catalog in the mail.
At first we thought it wasn’t very smart for them to mail us this 5 lb. catalog in the mail each month, especially since we only spent about $15 online and probably will not need to buy anything from them again anytime soon.
Now that we’ve come up with some new creative uses for the Mouser Catalog however, we’ve actually started to look forward to seeing them dumped in the ditch below our mailbox. (A 2500+ page catalog does not fit in a standard sized mailbox!)
Here are some of the fantastic uses we have found for not only this catalog but also phone books and many other stupid things we get in the mail:
Excellent Fire Starters: The type of paper used in creating these types of books makes for a wonderful fire starter. Crumple up a few pages and it ignites faster than newspaper, giving you a nice cozy fire to snuggle up in front of. A must have to take with you camping!
Instant Step Stool: These catalogs also make great stepping stools for reaching those hard to reach top shelf items in the kitchen.
Entertain the Kids: It makes a great baby toy, as babies will sit and rip out the pages and tear them to tiny shreds. This is far more entertaining to them than rattles or silly things that make annoying noises.
Learn Oragami: The catalogs are also great for making paper airplanes and other papercrafts.
Cheap, Economical Wall Paper: We thought about wallpapering our bathroom and kitchen with the pages as well. (With 2500 11×8 sheets of paper, we’d probably have enough to also do a border in our bedrooms as well!)
Fix That Rickety Table: The catalogs are also useful for propping up unlevel chairs and tables.
Hell, Build a Table or Chair: We are thinking after we get a few more we might actually build a couch and coffee table.
Do you get gigantic catalogs and books in the mail you don’t read? What ways have you found to use them?
It’s a new year, and what better time to decide to go for a new hairstyle? We’ve decided to showcase some of our favorite funny hairstyles of all time.
Statue of Liberty Hair
The Statue of Liberty does not get enough recognition these days. What better way to show your support?
Helicopter Hair
Hairstyles are a great way to show your personality and interests. Aviation lovers, this one is for you!
80′s Rock Mullet
If you’re not concerned about the effects of hairspray on the o-zone layer, you can recreate this classic 80’s metal mullet. (Perfect for the whole family!)
Giganta-Fro
Show off your strength and ability to balance 15 pounds of hair on top of your head with this lovely style. Added bonus: You will not need to buy a hat this winter.
Big Happie Hair
This one I saw on a late night TV commercial. For just $19.95 you too can put a giant lump in the back of your head at bighappiehair.com. (Gotta love the way they spell happy, too!)
Little Black Rain Cloud
Everybody loves Winnie the Pooh, but is this taking it too far? If you have any plans to fool bees into believing you are a little black rain cloud hovering under a honey tree, this hair style is for perfect you!
No Hair? No Worries!
If you were feeling left out because you have no hair, don’t worry! You can change your look simply by getting a head tattoo! Not into tattoos? A Sharpie marker could be all you need. Either way, no one will dare comment on your new hair style, because they will be much too scared you might kick their ass.
What do you think? Which funny hair do you like the best?
Across the world there are lots of sports. Some people might think baseball or football or tennis are weird and unusual sports, but I think the ones I’ve shared below have to probably be some of the weirdest sports that anyone could find a little humor in.
Zorb Ball
According to the official website of the Zorb Ball, “Zorb is the sport of rolling down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball and where New Zealand once again leads the world in stupid things to do while you’re on a vacation.” I didn’t know that New Zealand was the leader in stupid things to do while on vacation, but this weird unusual sport looks like it might be fun.
Unicycle Hockey
Wife Carrying
I couldn’t even believe this was a sport, but sure enough, there is a Wikipedia article about it. This sport involves men running through an obstacle course while carrying the wife as pictured above. The rules are as follows: All Participants Must Have Fun, Wife must weigh at least 49 kg (so it’s a good thing if the wife has a fat belly), 15 second penalty for dropping the wife, wife must wear helmet. No, this doesn’t sound weird or unusual at all…
The World Pooh Sticks Championship
This weird unusual sport, named Pooh-Sticks from the popular stories Winnie the Pooh involves standing on a bridge, dropping your stick in the water, and racing to see who’s stick goes the fastest to produce a winner. Could be a fun way to spend a lazy afternoon this March… That’s if you can handle all of the excitement.
Shin Kicking
The object of this sport is to kick the other person’s shins until they’re so weak they fall down (or you can throw them down). Their motto: If it ain’t broke, you’re not kicking hard enough. According to the official Shin Kicking website, they’re petitioning to get this one in the Olympics.
Cat Fish Grabbers
According to Catfishgrabbers.com, this sport is the “art of fishing with your hands”. To get started, all you need is a swimsuit and the ability to wrestle in the water trying to get the catfish if possible. Have you hugged a catfish today?
Worm Charming
As the name suggests, worm charming involves trying to coax worms out of the ground. Whoever gets the most worms wins! Clearly this sport is all about strategy.
Tent Pitching
Think you can pitch a tent faster than anybody else? While we can’t seem to find any official sports page or rules or anything of the sorts about this popular sport, it does appear to be real, as you can tell when you watch the video.
Extreme Ironing
Get out your iron and ironing board and try out this extreme sport: players go to an odd location (often dangerous) and iron clothes! As the Wikipedia article states: Extreme ironing is “the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.” Sounds exhilarating, doesn’t it? I have to wonder though, how do they get electricity on the side of a mountain?
Volcano Boarding
Taste the lava!

It seems nobody ever knows when Thanksgiving is except for me…so today in preparation of this great stuff your face with turkey and watch football (though not sure if the NFL will actually let us watch all of the football) and count your blessings with family and friends holiday that is just a few weeks away, let me answer your questions about when is Thanksgiving?
Some people, such as my husband, think Thanksgiving is the 22nd of November and will vehemently fight you if you say it is any other day besides the 22nd.
Others think it may be the 24th – the 26th? Isn’t Thanksgiving on the 23rd? Some are getting closer by rationalizing that Thanksgiving comes on a certain week in November – My brother was convinced for several years that Thanksgiving was on the last Wednesday of November.
So everyone, let me reveal this great mystery to all of you, the Answer to “When is Thanksgiving?”
It is on the 4th Thursday of every November, year after year.
It doesn’t matter if its the 22nd, or the 23rd, or the 24th or the 25th…every year, without exception since 1941 when Congress ruled that Thanksgiving would be held on the 4th Thursday of every November, it has been the 4th Thursday of EVERY November.
So now you all know when Thanksgiving is and can properly prepare for such a wonderful turkey eating stuffing mashed potato love my mom’s cooking kind of day..You definitely need to check out these Thanksgiving hats and order yours just in time:
As you can see, this handy dandy invention straps to your back, and just perfectly accommodates this lovely cocktail dress with 6″ high heels. Even if you don’t drink, it’s certainly a fashion statement you will want to make.
Invented by German company Rocket Packs, this will definitely make your next party a bit more interesting. Naturally, of course, only an invention of this caliber would come from Germans, because Germans know more about beer than anyone else, and they are also quite good at engineering things as well. The disappointing part? It won’t make you fly. But, still, it does look pretty good. Especially with the heels.
Today is my birthday. I’m not one of those people who do or expect a whole lot for my birthday. Memorable birthdays of my past include my cousin blowing out all the candles on my cake at my 6th birthday party and the tears that ensued. I’ve had lots of others, but I don’t really remember them too well. There was probably cake and singing, neither of which were very good.
The last few birthdays have been the best – they involve my kids trying as hard as they can to be good for one whole day. My kids are getting smarter though when I tell them I just wanted him to listen for one whole day. My son asked “Can’t I make you a card instead?”
To celebrate (and because, it is mandatory requirement of all bloggers to write about their birthdays) – I made a couple of “Blogger Birthday Cakes”. I know, I’m pretty wild sometimes. A real party animal. But hey, it’s not like I get older everyday, right? (Well, okay, technically we do…but nevermind that…)
You can make your own bday cakes say whatever you want them to say by going to Redkid.net, Image Chef, or Caption.it. I could probably come up with lots more, but I’d rather waste my time online doing something more exciting.
If you are a bloggerI also found out from this birthday calculator you can get more useless information than you’ve ever wanted about your birthday. Really. I now know that if I lit my age in candles on my cake this year, it could boil 3.09 ounces of water. Olivia Newton John’s Physical was the Top Billboard Hit the year I was born. Truly fascinating stuff.
Anyways, now you know when my birthday is and everything important relevant to my birthday, tell me about yours. Have any ideas for funny things to write on a blogger’s birthday cake?
