6 Action Figures Adults Can Relate To

January 28, 2010

Action figures are really fun to play with when you’re younger, but when you grow up, somehow they seem less relatable.  So, in an effort to bring back some action figures that adults can relate to, the funny folks at Holy Taco decided to create their own.

10 Lessons Leaders Can Learn from Conan o’Brien’s Goodbye Speech

January 26, 2010

I’m still mourning the loss of Conan’s Tonight Show, so until he’s picked up by another network (and lots are comin’ a-courting, I hear) I guess I’ll just be watching a lot of old clips… and laughing. They are so FUNNY.  My favorite, though, is his goodbye speech, which was just awesome on so many levels. 

When I read Liz Strauss‘ article (Conan’s Good-bye: 10 of 10 in Leadership, Reputation, and Community), I figured out why I loved it so much. Here’s her breakdown, originally posted at Successful-Blog.com.

12 Über-Cool Umbrellas

January 20, 2010

I have no idea what’s up with the weather. One minute it’s drizzly and grey, then temporarily torrential, then within the same hour — Sahara Desert. WTH?

Well, whatever the weather, it seems an umbrella is a smart accessory these days for women who refuse to get wet or ummm… wrinkly, as the case may be. Here are some really cool ones I wouldn’t mind carrying around:

1. The “Shit, It’s Raining” Umbrella

 

…because I rather enjoy stating the obvious. And cursing. :)

 

2. The Batbrella

Holy wow! If you don’t want one, there’s seriously something wrong with you. [Source]

 

3. The “F*** The Rain” Umbrella


Yeah, that’s right. I’m talkin’ to YOU, sky! [Source]

Here are 12 of the funniest fake FB updates I’ve seen so far…

The Saddest Poem in the World (That Women Secretly Wish Someone Would Write About Us)

January 6, 2010

Watch, listen, read, and tell me I’m wrong. :)

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example,’The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.’

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes?

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her?
The night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all.

In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We of that time are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that’s certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another’s. She will be another’s. Like my kisses before.
Her voice. Her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that’s certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
