Australia has these beautifully coloured parrots called Lorikeets. As beautiful as they are, at this time of year they are also drunk!

Did you ever wonder why products need to have “Why do they think they need to tell us that” warnings? This article from Aol.com offers an explanation. And here’s the 2011 finalists in the Wacky Warning Labels.
How can you explain the love parents have for their children? Rain Price’s parents, Dale and Rochelle, explain in a Yahoo.com article:
“The school bus for the first time ever came down our street this year,” explains Rain’s dad, Dale, to Utah’s Daily Herald. “This was [my son’s] first year on the bus. My wife came running in the room and suggested we go wave at him to embarrass him.”
Yes, by embarrassing your child. While in costume. Every. School. Day.

And what else do you do? Why, you start a blog called wave at the bus showing each days costumes. Now that is love!
Wacky Wednesday – Random Stuff
Today’s Wacky Wednesday is links to things I found a bit wacky.
There is something for everyone, apparently, on the internet as this link to weird auction listings proves.
There is a web site that sells home-made items called Etsy, which begat the web site Regretsy who, according to their FAQ page, “is the fail blog of hand crafts”. Short on time? Here’s a slide show from Business Insider that highlights some of the, shall we say, more unique offerings from Etsy.

Do you have a run of the mill bed? Why, when you can have a suspended bed? Check out this post from Babble.com and see a variety of suspended beds.

I was weirdly mesmerized by this video of Jello that was dropped onto a solid surface. If you like watching flames dancing, you may like Jello moving and grooving.
Wacky Wednesday – Royal Wedding 2011
Prince William will be marrying his love, Kate Middleton, on Friday, April 29th. There are many traditions when someone is getting married. And when one of the main members of England’s royal family (and future king) becomes engaged, the tradition of money-making merchandise wackiness quickly rolls into high gear. Here’s a list of some of the obvious and not-so-obvious merchandise and souvenirs that can be yours, if the royal wedding spirit is willing and the wallet is able.
Or Have Someone On The Inside Tell You How Things Really Are
Keeping Your Crown Jewels Safe
Is This Wedding Is Making You Sick
I Should Be Marrying William Plate
And The Ring That Should Have Been Yours, Too!
Of Course There Is A Comic Book

Are you a nerd? Love computers, mobile apps and games? PC World has compiled a bucket list of 50 geeky things for you or the nerd you love.
Fortune cookies. Always a source of enlightenment and entertainment in one little piece of paper. And riches if you did what these people did and played the lottery using the numbers found on those little pieces of paper. However, some fortunes just don’t make sense, as you can see in this article from BuzzFeed.
Do you need a distraction for a few minutes? You can play Rock-Paper-Scissors against a computer on The New York Times web site. Your opponent will be a novice or veteran and as the game progresses, you can see how the computer makes it’s choices based on your moves.
Many animals, as a form of protection, use camouflage to hide from predators. Let’s use this stink bug in Singapore as an example. Some people think it looks like Elvis. Others see Bert from Sesame Street. I’ll let you decide who the stink bug looks like and who it’s predator could be.
What do you do if you love show jumping but your family can’t afford a horse? Why, you train a cow, of course.
Hope your Wednesday is not that wacky, and if it is, the weekend is almost here.

Wacky Wednesday
Welcome back to this week’s edition of Wacky Wednesday!
WebTabLab has posted 22 weird news stories for January 2011.
Someone got married last year for a few days. Did you know that the person was…R2-D2? Read the bride’s blog at StarWars.com. Friday the 13, August 2010 was the day the wedding took place.
And, for those who want to hear Darth Vader breathing while the vows are exchanged, here’s the video of the happy occasion.
And these pictures are from Imgur.
Hope these gave you a chuckle and that you have a great Wednesday.
Wacky Wednesday – Fun With Spam
I get spam. You get spam. We all get spam.
I view the spam I’ve received here as a bit of a guilty pleasure. Just like settling in on a snowy Saturday and watching cartoons – minus the kids.
I thought I’d share the kind of spam I get and the posts that gave me this glorious gift. I get a kick out of checking the spam queue and seeing what little gems of wisdom show up and to what post they zeroed in on.
Right now I have 9 spam messages. The most popular post for spam has been Sunday Quotes from a couple of week ago. 6 of the 9 responded to that post.
By the by, I do a Food Porn post most Fridays. You would think with the word porn in the name I would get some spam action for that post but, alas, no.
So, here’s some highlights of what they had to say and what I’ve gleamed from the Sunday Quotes spams:
- the spammers want me to know that I know what I’m talking about ( just so that you know, I know that I know what I’m talking about when I copy and paste),
- something about quotes is arduous (must by all that copying and pasting),
- whoever is using the word “weblog” in their canned response obviously hasn’t updated in years,
- seriously, who uses “weblog” anymore and
- 4 of the 6 said thanks (manners, one must always use manners when spamming).
And here’s some of the spam:
Can I simply say what a relief to seek out somebody who truly knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know the right way to carry an issue to light and make it important. More folks have to read this and perceive this side of the story. I cant consider youre not more fashionable since you undoubtedly have the gift.
This is the correct weblog for anyone who wants to search out out about this topic. You understand a lot its virtually hard to argue with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply great!
It’s arduous to seek out educated folks on this matter, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
Your house is valueble for me. Thanks!…
The other post that spammers spammed their way to was the post The ABCs of Disability – The Letter W where I talked about asking “why” and “why me” when dealing with a chronic illness. Which of course explains why the 3 remaining spam had multiple links to somewhere and such intriguing sentences such as:
Alexandria was heavily fortified,
Nonetheless a substantial part of the UK population still lives in council housing,
and my very favourite response:
There are many psychological ailments commonly misunderstood as demonic possession.
Oh, and something else I have learned about spam:
- apostrophes are not necessary for contractions and
- spell check is optional.
Enjoy a, hopefully, spam-free day.
Wacky Wednesday
There’s the saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. The same kind of thinking seems to be true for the themed cakes at Bizarre Bites. Some of the cakes are creatively awesome, some are awesomely weird. Then, for me, there’s the Batman and Spiderman cakes and all I could think of was “Off with their heads!”. Happy feasting, now I want a cake!
I understand the thrill of wanting to do it and the adrenaline rush from doing it, but, actually doing it?
Sometimes the drawing technique is as much art as the finished product as this video shows.
Don’t mess with pensioners! Just don’t!
Have a great Wednesday!
Wacky Wednesday – TV Bloopers Edition
Hi everyone and welcome to Wacky Wednesday.
If you’re suffering from the winter doldrums, you’ve come to the right place. Laughter can be the best medicine so take a few minutes to watch and laugh. This week it’s TV bloopers from the shows Mythbusters, The Carol Burnett Show and Scrubs and bloopers from live newscasts.
I hope these made you laugh, or at least chuckle. But, don’t worry. Spring is just a couple of months away. See you next week.
