  • Racquetball Strategy Videos – Shawn Royster

    I’ve played racquetball off and on for a few years now without the benefit of instruction, skill, or real athletic ability. But, I play for fun with a couple of guys from work and in a desperate effort to gain an upper hand, I have turned to my old pal the internet for a few…

  • Passive Aggressive Notes

    So, I just stumbled onto Passive Aggressive Notes and have found myself reading post after post. The site has been around a long time but in my endless interweb meandering, I’ve failed to stumble onto it before. For those of you that – like me – are unenlightened, here’s the site’s tagline: “Painfully polite and…

  • Chickipedia: Babe Encyclopedia

    Chickipedia. A wiki of attractive women. Awesome? I think so…my wife doesn’t. Yeah, yeah. So it feels a bit weird posting something like this on BorkWeb, but its one of those sites that you wish you had thought about it first. The site is a good idea. A lot of people would happily waste their…

  • Gov. Palin and Senator Clinton Address the Nation

    This was hilarious. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler did a bang up job of portraying Palin and Clinton. Although this is satire, this video exemplifies everything that is horrid about John McCain’s “pick” for his Vice Presidential candidate.

  • Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog: Act 1 Posted!

    Joss Whedon‘s much anticipated Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog has released Act 1 today! The singing, the dialog, and the plot are all awesome.

  • Quest Software: Active Directory Recovery Video

    While frittering our lives away on the internet, my friend Dan and I stumbled upon an ad by Quest Software that featured 3 dudes in funny outfits. We had to click…and this is what we found: Dan tried to escape this Active Directory Recovery ad a few times but I made him stay…The masked guy…

Felicia Day is saying that it is an internet Musical. Yup. Internet. Musical. w00t! Joss writes: It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero…

  • High Resolution YouTube Videos

Despite the fact that this feature isn’t fully implemented, for those of you that can’t wait – like myself – you can view the high-res versions simply by changing the URL like so: Change This: Into: Yup!

  • Star Wars: Blowed Stuff Upped

    This little girl is awesome. She pretty much summed up Episode IV!

  • Star Wars: Episode 2 1/2

    On August 15th, 2008 Star Wars hits the big screen once more, but this time as an animated film titled “Star Wars: Clone Wars.” Animated? Yeah…sweet CG with an animation style that really turns me on. The film itself is geared as a kick-off for the upcoming Star Wars animated series of the same name…

  • LOLCat Bible: In Ur Religionz Translatin Ur Wordz

    Need a way to introduce religion to your cats but people words are just too hard to understand? The LOLCat Bible is the answer. Written in a way that cats can understand using the handy dandy (and ever so entertaining) LOLSpeak made popular by the LOLCat images (often found at I Can Has Cheezeburger?). Upon…

  • Star Wars Pronunciations

    Yeah, I’m a Star Wars fan. I’ve read over 50 Star Wars books, have played the CCG, the RPG – d6 AND d20, I’m a member of The Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and I do a lot of Star Wars art. As such, I encounter a number of Star Wars-y names/terms in writing that I make…

  • Phrase Origin: Do Not Want

    The phrase “Do not want” is one of endless amusement, now spoken often in my department when referring to anything bad or…well…unwanted. The phrase is brilliantly humorous and more so now that I know its accidental origin.

  • Medicinal Maggot Therapy

    [[innerindex]] Introduction Recently, the mention of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) came up in my office as a way to make fun of Zach‘s recent allergic reaction to some dry cleaning. Obviously, I was initially plotting which objects I would acquire upon his death, but when I realized that if he died, I would also gain…
