Terrible jokes but funny anyway. Mostly linking for Jim, but guess someone else might enjoy.

Mostly posting this here so I have it handy later and so it is somewhere easy to find when it becomes relevant:

In short, about a week from now (I'll get exact dates soonish), I'll be helping at a charity marathon where we play games and such. It's like SGDQ and AGDQ only a fraction as cool. I'll give you more details closer to the date, this is mostly place holder that will become obsolete in about a week when a more substantial post is made.

I should have expected that.

Edit - Since Holidays = actual time to read stuff I am finally reading funny people on Twitter every day, so I have some gems.

This is a thing that exists.

and This is a dialogue exchange that happened.

Other things I recommend, following comedians. Paton Oswalt is pretty much a guaranteed 4 or 5 laughs a day bare minimum.

Edit 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-VKaA8ruf4 Ko is at it again.

I don't have the context for this video but it's great.
Especially the ending. I didn't know the Force pell was so cool.

EDIT: Re: Fenrir's link: If the sports days at my schools here involved my students performing challenges in Dark Souls instead of exercising I think I would be a lot more interested in the sports days. (The layout of the competition apes Japanese school sports days pretty hard.)

Not sure if I'll be getting that or not because I never touched a Professor Layton game, but I won't deny it was a pleasant surprise to hear it's getting localized after so many people kept bitching about it not coming stateside.

Pokemon has become like Digimon. Also Gamefreak seems to actually care about Absol and Mawile.

New Humble Bundle. Five bucks gets you eight pretty high-profile EA games. EA's cut: zero point zero percent. I was not expecting that.

For those who haven't seen yet, Junpei and Yukari will be in the next P4 Arena game. Also for some reason Yukari is a Power Ranger.

http://commonplacebooks.com/welcome-to-night-vale/

Been hearing about this for a while now, decided to check it out now that I am catching bus to work again.

It is a radio show for a town that is full of Lovecraftian horrors, X-Files stuff and Twilight Zone style scenarios. It is a comedy podcast. Good times had. I think the polish picks up after a few episodes as well Sopko.

Article title should say everything, but it is kind of a touching, heart-warming story nonetheless.

I think my favorite part is probably the two-parter that involves travelling through a portal (which is, I think, episode 17?) or any time the subterranean city beneath the pin retrieval mechanism of Alley 4 at the bowling alley comes up.

I just discovered Night Vale and am trying not to just burn through all the episodes in a row on my commute. It's not easy. So far the glow cloud episode has been the best at everything.

http://www.the-broad-side.com/why-our-rules-for-pregnant-women-could-be-a-feminist-issue

This is probably more interesting to me than ya'll as someone who one day could get said advice, but still linking it. Being given blind advice without reason is frustrating, and pregnant women get a lot of this. (Kitty litter, for example, is only a problem if you let feces get all over your hands and don't wash them. Well, duh?)

Seems all pretty legit to me. I wish "not even a medical doctor" could be phrased better when discussing someone doing meta analysis of data. Especially one that does that kind of thing for a living in the health industry.

She is in fact exactly the person that should be doing that kind of research and Doctors and their patients should review for final conclusion.
