Mondegreens – Bush, Testosterone
Posted by A R Baboon in HaHa Funny on November 6, 2009
I have a knack for mis-hearing lyrics aka mondegreens. Now that my Palm Pre has lyrics in the music player I found a particularly egregious example.

Medela Pumps Look Like Air Horns
Posted by A R Baboon in HaHa Funny, Products on August 14, 2009
Breast Pump | Air Horn
I could not help but notice how similar the objects look without having any relation to each other in function or history. I don’t think it is juvenile of me to see the relation as long as I don’t make air horn noises at in appropriate times.
Second McCain Green Screen Challenge Begins

He did it again and the entries have started. Here are my favorite so far:
Google Picasa Face Recognition In the Gutter
Posted by A R Baboon in Computer Science, HaHa Funny on September 7, 2008
Google’s Picasa web service has an excellent new person tagging and face recognition features. Some times it gets a little confused. The above example, which is particularly comical, is one of the extreme examples. Most of the bogus faces are close ups of ears. I do really like these features (when they are working). I was primarily using tags for people so this removes a lot of work.
The social enhancements have a long way to go yet. There a whole bunch of sharing cases that are not covered.
Terribly Mysterious Convention Speeches
Posted by A R Baboon in HaHa Funny, Poly-Sigh on September 5, 2008
The Sphinx Speaks
I think several speech writers were watching mystery men prior to the conventions this year. Here are a couple of quotes:
In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
Palin
People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.Bill Clinton
There were a few more that I am having trouble finding moment. Here are some I made up (not necessarily my views). I hope none of them have been used.
We must bring the fight to our enemies before the fight brings our enemies to us.
We need to raise our interest in inflation before our inflation raises our interest.
We will withdraw our troops as soon as possible but it is not possible to withdraw our troops soon.
Instead of doubting the the benefits of drilling, we need to give drilling the benefit of the doubt.
We have changed the way individuals donated millions to millions of individuals donating change.
Attacks:
My opponent asks you to believe what he says but does he say what he believes.
Our opponents don’t believe you deserve change so they only offer the change they believe you deserve.
UPDATE: Doug tipped me Slate was inspired by my story or had the same observation. More likely the latter. The name for it is apparently Antimetabole. To borrow from bond I always knew Bill Clinton was a cunning linguist.
How South Park Ruins Things
Posted by A R Baboon in HaHa Funny, Our Little Bundles of... on April 26, 2008
We taught my son that if gets a “boo-boo” all he has to do is get it kissed and everything feels all better. It has worked out really well. Instead of major crying fits he just walks up to us calmly presents the injured area and says “kiss it”. The problem is south park has some prior art on a presentation of a body part and saying “kiss it”. I almost choked on a pretzel when he fell on his bottom and requested my healing powers.
St Patricks Day If the Empire Had Won
Posted by A R Baboon in Computer Science, HaHa Funny, Linux and Systems on March 31, 2008
Well I was cruising for new feeds an I came across the flickr blog which had a nice bit of cognitive dissonance as you see above. Oh and I installed WP 2.5 and I wanted to try it out. Then I discovered that image uploads for a great many installs are broken in 2.5 including this site. I have also noticed some bugs with the editor like adding paragraphs breaks when I did not. Overall 2.5 has a far more organized than 2.3 and maintains compatibility with all the plugins that I use. I also like the plugin that fixes the image upload. I am not sure why we would need a flash based uploader anyway:
< ?php /* Plugin Name: No Flash Uploader Version: 1.0 Plugin URI: http://dd32.id.au/ Description: Disables the Flash Uploader of 2.5 Author: Dion Hulse Author URI: http://dd32.id.au/ */ add_filter( 'flash_uploader', 'noflashuploader' ); function noflashuploader() { return false; } ?>
Deep Thoughs (NFL in Europe?)
Posted by A R Baboon in Datapoint, HaHa Funny on October 26, 2007
I just saw a CNN Headline news um… headline… about the NFL looking to start things going in UK and Europe and I had my own “deep thoughts”:
If the NFL opens a European branch does it become the LFN?
Even funnier, in a “small world” sense, is where I found the image.
Daily Prosenfism
Posted by A R Baboon in HaHa Funny on October 23, 2007
There is a certain individual I know who says something that cracks me up at least once a day Monday through Thursday. I have long desired to share this levity with Rubinium readers and I have decided to start now. To be clear I have great respect for this individual but he says the darnedest things. It is having Pinky around to deliver an AYPWIP response. So without further introduction, the prosenfism of the day:
A Confutse fortune is no longer considered ‘PC’
That was not a misspelling. The pronunciation was Kong-fu-tse. I am not typically the type of person to mention Goatse but after a quick internet search to show this individual the proper pronunciation of Kung-fu-tzu I came upon this page. The funny thing is that the original statement is quite correct when you include the error.
Want To Show Up 007 Style?
Posted by A R Baboon in HaHa Funny, Technophilia on August 3, 2007
Large break-away brick wall, Pegasus statue, and Pierce Brosnan not included. I’m sure you could rig it for theme song though. Tanks-a-lot has been around for a while I think. I seem to vaguely remember them being some sort of scandal when a criminal had bought one of their tanks and was wreaking havoc years ago.
