Everybody has widgets somewhere on their blog. Some are neat, entertaining, even useful. So what are the dumbest blog widgets ever? I think I found them!

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? You can see it here.

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?  Check it out here.

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. See if you can figure it out.

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 are probably too young to be spinning it anyways.

Dumb Blog Widget#5: MyDogSpace

A MySpace for Dogs!!! says it all with this best dumb blog widget. It really doesn’t even do anything, just links to MyDogSpace.com. See it here.

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. It is seriously so bad I can only share the picture and the link, I would go nuts listening to this on my own site. See what I mean here.

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! This one is not as annoying as the banana one, but still thought I would link to it here so you don’t have to be forced to listen to it.

If you don’t already have a blog, it might be time to get some blog hosting and start one just so you can have these dumb blog widgets on your site!

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

I’ve decided that knowing a hurricane is coming and choosing to stay there instead of going somewhere safe and out of the hurricane’s path is a DUMB THING TO DO. Those newscasters that stand out there all for the sake of having a story did a pretty dumb thing too. How could risking your life for that be worthwhile?

Last night we got some of the “after-effects” of Hurricane Ike which prompted my beliefs about this…50-60 mph winds, lots of trees down, missed the Steelers game thanks to our power going out…It was kind of scary – people with trees fallen on their homes like shown below and we slept in our basement worried a tree would fall on ours. And we are no where near where the Hurricane hit!

So while I genuinely feel bad that these kind of storms destroy people’s homes and everything else, I can’t help but think these people are nuts for staying somewhere when it is a KNOWN FACT hurricanes are dangerous. It is sad to see so many people lose everything and even their lives for something that could be somewhat preventable.

Anyways, everybody…if you are lucky enough to know that a natural disaster or potentially dangerous weather conditions are coming your way, please don’t be dumb! Get to somewhere that is safe! Your life is more important than anything else! They send out weather advisory warnings for a very good reason!

Good news everyone, I found something stupid on eBay finally! (Last week just wasn’t a good week I guess!)

Today we have two twisted lovers carrots:

This endearing photo is of two organic carrots that have wrapped themselves around each other. Clearly they are deeply in love.

Recommended uses include eating them, decorating the house for Halloween with them (is it a tradition somewhere to decorate for Halloween with carrots? I thought it was pumpkins?) or presenting on a plate as shown to the one you love as a sign of your adoration. Or, naturally, if none of those things appeal to you, you can also use it for your own love spells! Now that’s what you call a multi-purpose carrot!

We went camping this weekend, which was lots of fun – it was the first time in my life we ever went camping WITHOUT mosquitoes! We didn’t miss them at all!

I was at the beach and playground with the kiddos by the lake when I noticed this sign here:

It made me laugh, but also kind of worried that they would NEED a sign that tells people not to go hunting on a playground!

I have nothing to share with you on ebay this week. I couldn’t find anything that I haven’t already seen before or interesting. I’m not sure if this is good or bad – good because people are finally starting to stop selling totally stupid things for outrageous prices, bad because I have nothing to showcase this week.

Maybe you can find something to share? Click here for eBay!

One of my friends recently shared with me two things she saw on the front page of MSNBC.com:

This is Yoda, a 4 eared cat:

And this is the world’s first skateboarding Turtle who has now found romance thanks to her new set of wheels:

What do you think of this 4 eared cat and the skateboarding turtle finding romance? Newsworthy? Cute? Silly? More important that any other news going on?

Today is Labor Day, which is the U.S. means lots of people will be heading back to school or have already gone to back to school. So today for your enjoyment I’ve featured some of the best “Must-Have” Back to School funny inventions for students and teachers.

The Flying Alarm Clock:

Perfect for heavy sleepers and moms who are sick of waking their kids up for school (I am learning as a mom this starts as early as the second day of school) the flying alarm clock launches a flying disc and rings annoyingly until the disc in put back in place. Nothing like forcing someone to chase flying objects in the air to wake them up! Yes, you can really buy this, Click Here to Get Your Very Own Flying Alarm Clock for $13.95.

USB Powered Missile Launcher

For the students who are attached to their laptops and computers, a USB powered Missile Launcher is obviously a necessity for back to school. I know I would have loved one of these in my classes for taking out a few a certain people that annoyed the heck out of me! Click here for more details on the USB Powered Missile Launcher.

The Pirate Toast Stamper

Breakfast is a very important part of starting back to school the right way. And what better to way to motivate oneself to eat breakfast but with a Pirate Toast Stamper? (Don’t answer that question).

What do you think? Know anybody who could use any of these funny back to school inventions?

It’s been a busy week for me. I could give you the details, but you’d probably be bored pretty fast.

Instead, I though I’d share some of the things I read/found that made me laugh and caught my attention this week and are worthy of a blue ribbon or two:

Do Aliens Exist? I don’t know the answer to the question, but I enjoyed Freelance Guru’s post The Truth is Out There: Do Aliens Exist? Those unfamiliar with the Freelance Guru, he’s a funny guy that lives on top of a pole and answers important questions.

Big Bald Pappa: I just recently started reading this blog after our launch of the Adspace Contest. If you want to see some funny pictures, he’s got a nice collection of Chinese to American translations gone wrong that are pretty funny.

The NES Controller Coffee Table: You can keep your Playstation 3′s and X Boxes, I am loyal to the original Nintendo Introduced to me by Geek Mom Mashup this week, you can see full pictures and instructions on making a giant, working NES Controller Coffee Table at the Ultra Awesome Blog.

TiggyBlog: This is always a fun site to visit, my favorite from reading this week was her post on How to Cure Internet Addiction with Other Addictions. (Yes, that post was from last week, but I’ve been busy and just catching up on things now!)

Did you see something funny you enjoyed this week? Have something I might have missed? Share it with me!

Last night was our Best of Stupid Fantasy Football live draft and I thought I’d share my fantasy football draft picks with everybody.

Part of the secret to getting the best fantasy football draft picks is to be reactive to what the other players in your fantasy football league are doing. When I’ve been playing, it seems the first people to go are the running back fantasy football picks. If you have the first few fantasy football draft picks then you should certainly go for the running backs. But if you’re in the middle or the last spots, then you might as well forget about the running backs and try to pick up some high scoring wide receivers or quarterbacks.

The reason you should do this (and that is what I did) is so the other teams in your league won’t have an unfair advantage against you in case these players are gone by your next turn to make your pick.

I made a few basic mistakes when doing my draft picks – I grabbed my quarterback Derek Anderson early on in Round 3, even though I probably could have waited until the 4th or 5th Round since most people have no idea who he is or that he consistently beat or matched Tom Brady, Carson Palmer & Big Ben week after week last year. I probably could have had slightly better running backs or maybe one of the top 3 tight ends – but as I learned last year these guys aren’t always as good as promised. Last year I had some very promising running backs, who ended up getting hurt and not playing most of the year.

Anyways, here’s my fantasy football draft picks, I think I have a pretty solid team this year:

Quarter Back Fantasy Football Draft Picks:
Derek Anderson, Cleveland | Marc Bulger, St. Louis
Derek was my quarterback last year who I picked up as a free agent in the waivers after Carson Palmer wasn’t living up to my expectations. He had a concussion a few weeks ago, but I don’t anticipate this to really affect him in the long run. I could have picked him up in the 4th Round, but decided to jump on him since I didn’t want to take any chances and there wasn’t anyone else that really appealed to me at that point. Marc Bulger of St. Louis is a back up for the bye week or in case Derek doesn’t heal from his concussion for the first game – he’s predicted to be one of the top 5 QB’s this year.

Running Back Fantasy Football Draft Picks:
Willie Parker, Pittsburgh | Fred Taylor, Jacksonville | Kenny Watson, Cincinnati
My running back fantasy football draft picks aren’t the greatest. But as I said before, unlike most people who go after running backs first I drafted wide receivers in the first round. Still though Parker’s pretty decent running back, and who knows what Fred Taylor will surprise me with. Kenny Watson I may or may not keep, towards the end I really didn’t care who I picked. He played fantastic the few times he made it onto the field, and with Rudy Johnson being hurt, he may have a few early season plays which makes him sort of my secret weapon backup fantasy football draft pick. But he’s risky – there’s a good possibility he may not play that much at all, so he is who I drafted in the 11th round.

Wide Receiver Fantasy Football Draft Picks:
Randy Moss, Patriots | Roy Williams, Detroit | Donte Stallworth, Cleveland | Laveranues Coles, NY Jets
Randy Moss was my #1 Draft pick, and if last year continues he should bring me at least 20 points per game as Tom Brady’s right hand man. Williams and Coles both have pass-happy quarterbacks Kitna & Favre, so I’m thinking they should be consistent 10-20 points each week. I noticed Stallworth way down at the bottom of the draft (somewhere around the 8th or 9th rounds) and after seeing he’s at Cleveland this year I know he will do much better than last year, since he’s no longer competing with Randy Moss for the passes.

Tight End Fantasy Football Draft Picks:
Heath Miller, Pittsburgh | Zach Miller, Oakland
Heath Miller was my tight end last year – he gets some fairly decent playing time, though he’s not one of the “top” tight ends – I know I can expect him to get anywhere between 6-15 points a game and he is rarely hurt. I know nothing about Zach Miller, who I picked up in the final round.

Defense/Special Teams Fantasy Football Draft Picks:
Colts, Indianapolis | Browns, Cleveland
I learned last year that you won’t really know who a good defense is until the season starts. The Colts in general have been pretty good and so far they don’t have a lot of injuries. The Browns though may end up being better – it’s predicted they will do pretty well.

The best thing about this draft is that out of the 12 players in the league, only 5 of us showed up. This means the guys on Auto-Draft didn’t get any really good players, since they were set up by default to go after running backs the first two rounds. Having strong wide receivers when you’re in a 3 wide receiver league can give you anywhere from a 10 -15 point advantage, even if you’re playing against a team with LT or AP. I will also be keeping my eyes on the free agents and rookies on the waiver wire to see how they’re doing, I picked up some great players that way last year.

I can’t wait until the season starts! Feel free to share with me your thoughts on my fantasy football draft picks or your fantasy football advice in the comments below.

We saw this one while out driving today and thought it was kind of funny:

I don’t know too many people who could push a dump truck, do you? This one probably weighs between 15,000 and 30,000 lbs.

I’m sure there is a logical explanation what this really mean that a dump truck driver could explain to me, but out of context and with no understanding of dump trucks it makes you wonder who in the world would want to try to push a dump truck…and if you did try to push it, what would happen?

Dumb crooks and stupid people breaking the law have always been an interesting concept to me. Being a law abiding citizen, maybe I don’t fully understand how the criminal mind works…but if you’re going to do something illegal or wrong, wouldn’t your first priority be not getting caught?

Enter Stupid Ebay Listing for This Week: A Typed Criminal Confession

This seller did something illegal. He wants to “get it off his chest”…while at the same time hopefully raising enough money for his family in case he should be hauled off to jail.

Now, not being a law expert or detective of any sorts (Though I was a big fan of Encyclopedia Brown as a kid!), I am pretty sure that eBay has everyone’s name and physical address – meaning it would be very easy for them to find out who he is and get that information. Even if that is bogus, I’m pretty sure they could trace the IP… (If I have IP tracing on Best of Stupid, I would think a larger, more important site like eBay would as well!)

So if this in itself is pretty dumb, it gets better. The guy did not put any minimum bid or reserve on the auction. I think he was hoping for at least a few thousand dollars – the current bid of $25 would likely not even take care of dinner for his family!

It’s a weird auction. I’m surprised eBay hasn’t questioned it or reported it to authorities, since they are pretty uptight about illegal things for sale on there, and while I guess selling a confession isn’t illegal (is it?), one would think it would certainly be cause for an investigation.

Since eBay only keeps listings for a certain period of time, I won’t link directly to it, but you can click here to search for Auction # 300251265102 to find it.

The big question of course is what do you think he did? My guess would be fraud or maybe he broke a dumb law that’s been around since 1885 that’s not enforced anymore. I don’t think someone would really do this if they were fully guilty of anything major, would they?

I was going through old pictures and found one of these from a hotel we took about 10 years ago:

It used to be quite common for businessmen to need access to the phone at all times. I guess things haven’t really changed much – but I haven’t seen a phone in a bathroom in a long time! So I guess the iPod Toilet Roll holder is not so weird after all.

Do you have some weird pictures of odd things you took a long time ago? Tell me about them

Not too long ago I joined Facebook for the first time. (I guess I was a late online bloomer?) While I was doing the usual thing of adding & finding old and new friends, I stumbled across some pretty strange groups you can join.

Here are some Facebook Groups you don’t want to miss:

Going to a Jimmy Buffet show is one of those things that should probably be on the list of “things to do before you die” just to say that you’ve been to one and lived out the whole experience.

Probably one of the most interesting things about Jimmy Buffet’s music is some of the interesting song titles he has. While Cheeseburger in Paradise is probably the most famous, here are some other odd song titles & song subjects of Jimmy Buffet:

Peanut Butter Conspiracy
This song is all about spending all your money on drugs and having to steal food from the mini-mart. I wonder if he ever did pay them back as he said he would in the song?

Why Don’t We Get Drunk?
With lyrics like “Why dont we get drunk and screw, I just bought a waterbed its filled up for me and you” this could just be the romantic sentiment you’ve been looking for to use on a special lady in your life.

Elvis Imitators
Yes, Imitating Elvis could be your ticket to fame. If not though, it’s the next best thing.

Everybody’s got a Cousin in Miami
The title of this post is simply not true: I do not have a cousin in Miami. Or anywhere in Florida for that matter!

There’s Nothing Soft About Hard Times
Just in case you might have thought there could be a soft side to something hard, this song will assure you there’s not.

Fruitcakes
“This world needs more fruitcakes” the song goes. But do we really? Do we REALLY need more of those Holiday cakes that nobody eats or wants?

If you have never seen Jimmy Buffet in concert, then you really need to go get some Jimmy Buffet Tickets from today’s post sponsor and try it sometime. Despite his odd lyrics and song subjects, it’s some great music to listen to and like most things, best enjoyed in person.

I’m a little behind on my ebay posts, I know…but it takes time to dig through all the terrible listings on ebay and really find something stupid that’s worth laughing at or sharing.

‘I think I found it:

This is a full glass of coke available to bid on.

The question I have is how the heck would you ship it? You can’t really pour a glass of coke and stick it in an envelope or box and it still be a glass of coke, can you? (I think it would be a soggy mess!)
