Love it! Such a great site and I always look forward to their vids, too.

There's a game called The Waitress which inexplicably captured my heart years ago. Game play consists of clicking one of four tables in your restaurant to take the order, clicking the kitchen to choose the right order, clicking the cooler for drinks, and clicking the right table to deliver it all. When the guest leaves, ya gotta click the table to clean it. That's IT for the whole game. No speed upgrades (or equipment, or food, or *anything*), the people just start arriving a bit faster (after about an hour's playing). I have been known to play this for hours on end and I'm not proud, but there ya go.

Hmmm, guess the sticking out the tongue emoticon doesn't compute! Didn't mean to have a smile show up, sorry.

Wow! Really hard to wade through the site's opinions on good design when I can barely read any of it :-P Nothing frustrates me on the web more than dark text on a black background.

So sorry you missed out, Stacy, I remember this silliness well, thanks. Now, if I could just get my hands on "Hammy Hamster" vids, I'd be in my '70s animal cruelty masquerading as entertainment glory!

Thanks, Stacy! As an unashamed BIG fan of this flick, I must admit to already knowing most of this trivia, but the ZuZu gingersnaps was brand new to me, kudos. I always just assumed little Zuzu had red hair (not sure this is used in North America, but "ginger" is a popular term for someone with red hair in Britain and Australia anyway). Any orange cat I had as a kid was named Gingermegs :-)

Yeah, a little hard to read on a few cards (helps if you know the poem), but well worth the effort, thanks, Miss C.!

Ditto here, Scottlass, I'm 44 and my mother still fills a stocking and put presents under the tree marked "Love, Santa". Same handwriting all these years. Childhood is so short, let the kids enjoy the magic as long as they can.

"... the festive animal had lost his confidence after he fist lost his antlers.." Oh my, those are some raging hormones indeed ;-) Just the thing to get ya in the spirit, a horny reindeer in a rug, gets ya right there *sniff*

Cute and creepy, love it! The song, for them wondering, is Jona Lewie's monster 1980 hit, "Stop The Cavalry", which is right here:

Some are old-fashioned, I agree, but the overall ideas are pretty solid these days. What I really loved about this link was the other link it led me to, the awesome Square America Snapshots (http://www.squareamerica.com). Always loved seeing other people's pics and these are fantastic! So, thanks again to the fab Neatorama for giving me two great links in one post!

Wonderful and sobering link, thank you. Might want to edit the text a tad, though. I shouldn't have been laughing, but I couldn't help it: "... examine and record the damage caused by the atomic comb". Just picturing that massive comb kickin' ass made me giggle.

One of the funniest and most heart-warming sites I've seen, bless 'em all!

This is why they will have to pry my keyboard from my cold, dead hands. About the only thing better is the fab vid Torley linked to, their version of my girl Kate's "Wuthering Heights". Wow, indeed. Thanks to good ol' Neatorama and Torley, ukuleles rule!

I'm lucky enough to live in Canada (for many reasons) where they show half-hour highlight reels on TV from the Just For Laughs festival held in Montreal. The Umbilical Brothers were featured on one of these ages ago, wonderful to see them reborn on web. They're a very clever and funny act, I agree!
