A friend posted this on facebook and I wanted to spread the word to my loyal readers (both of you). Check out the video below and then head on over to rathergood.com -- tell them Steve D. sent you*
Hey, I know I've been a slacker this summer, but I swear I've got some new posts brewing.
In the meantime, if you're like me you've absolutely run out of quizzes and surveys to take on facebook, so I ventured into the perverse world of over-the-top self-promotion social marketing and wrote my own:
I remember the song, but didn't remember this, very funny, very creepy, video:
This is priceless...or 100x priceless, depending on how you do the math:
Check out more fail topics over at failblog.org ...or on here by clicking the "fail" label below.
Wanted to welcome The Disastergirl Chronicles to my ultra-elite bloglist (it's over there on the right somewhere).
Just wanted to put up a quick link to one of the funniest things I've seen in a while:
Hasbro's new "Awkward Moments in Star Wars" line.
The first new item is (this is literally on the box)...
[gravelly stormtrooper voice] Stormtrooper: What seems to be the problem?
Lars: I work hard all day and I just want to come in and relax, without this biatch gettin' all in my face! [evil glance at Beru]
Beru: All I want is for you is to go put a cover on the land speeder in case it rains! Is that too much to ask?!
Lars: In case it RAINS?! Are you out of your [bleep] mind? We have TWO suns, no ozone, oh, and a billion acres of [bleep] SAND. It ain't gonna rain, damnit! [bleep] this, I'm going to the cantina.
Stormtrooper: Mr. Skylwalker, you're going downtown, but not to the cantina. Now, just come with - wait, where did he go?!
Beru: He ran out the back tunnel [turning towards tunnel] LIKE A [bleep] COWARD!
Just a quick house-keeping note: If you're looking for something do besides wait for succulent new tidbits of humor here, you can check out my facebook page. Heck, you can even become a bona fide "fan." (I know, a dream come true, I'm sure.) Here's the link:

Prefer the glitzy chaos of MySpace to the button-down organization of facebook? Well have no fear...there's a Steve D. page there as well:
http://www.myspace.com/lazycomic
And, yes, for some strange compulsion I also have a twitter account:
http://twitter.com/lazycomic
Now get stalking!
If you've been watching this blog recently, anxiously awaiting for a sign of life, well...well, that's a little sad.
Anyway, I've got new stuff coming, and in the meantime I've brought back my bloglist (it's over there on the right somewhere. Don't look now though, it's rude to look away when you're reading a blog post.) I had an extensive list of blogs on the old template, and if you own one that hasn't been linked to since the transition then I apologize; I'll try to bring back more faves soon.
That said, the blog that receives the priceless privilege of being first on my new blog roll is Thought Volcanoes.
To explain the entire connection between the author of Thought Volcanoes and yours truly would probably be long and boring - and while that normally doesn't stop me, I'll spare you today. Suffice to say that I've been reading commentary from the blogger over at "TV"* since blogging consisted of late night phone calls on a cordless phone with an antennae so long you could use it to get cats out of trees.
*Good friends can abbreviate it -- don't let me catch you doing it.
(Have a blog that links to lazycomic.blogspot.com? Then send me a comment and I'll try to return the favor.)
Yeah, I know, I've left you hanging for a bit and I apologize. To make up for it, I'm doing something better than post another attempt at comedy I did...
...I'm posting something someone else did:
I wonder how much grant money was spent on swabbin' spiders with drugs? What a great grad assistant job that would be....
Well, not every detail. But if you use twitter and want to follow my constant (well, occassional) rambles, you can follow me:
http://twitter.com/lazycomic
Imagine hearing every insightful thought that comes into my odd, twisted mind...
....at least the ones that come into my mind when I'm near an internet connection
...and not too lazy to type.
Some of you might know that I also shamelessly promote my sad little attempts at humor over at MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/lazycomic).
Well, I'm actually starting to get friend requests from real people -- not just profiles trying to get me to some other site.
And one was from this guy Scott. Turns out Scott got cancer for Christmas (his joke, not mine), and while he's trying to kick it's ass (or, rather, kick it out of his ass [that joke's mine]), he's trying to collect a bunch of friends (it's a MySpace thing). Anyway, he's a dad and a cool guy with a good attitude, so if you can, check out his page:

Thanks - more rude, crude and sadly funny postings coming soon.
Nope, I'm not talking about the Bush family...our group's not quite that happy.
But, unless you're dating one of the Bush daughters, it'll be easier to get into ours.
And we won't call you up to help us move next January.
There's a new group on Google groups, called, aptly enough, lazyreaders. By joining this exclusive secret society, you can receive new postings to lazycomic.blogpsot.com automatically...and maybe some extra news here and there as well.
Check it out and see if it's not the very thing you've been dreaming of:

You know what I've always found to be "annoying?" People that "use" quotation marks for emphasis. It always makes me think the word(s) in quotes are supposed to be sarcastic, or have a double entendre.
Well, apparently I'm not "alone."
Check out The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks
...and tell them "I" sent you.
Thanks to Digg user Noah Hayes for supplying this junior high no-friggin-way funny bit:
He found a site for BJ Services...which is mildly humorous on it's own.
But it gets better:
They specialize in, among other things, "Pumping Services"...
...and "Tubular Services"
...and...
...wait for it...
"Completion Services"
Because let's face it, you wouldn't call BJ Services Company if you didn't want the Completion Services.
Oh, and they have a "GO BJ" icon. Kinda sounds like a cheer or something. They should put it in a jingle. Something catchy. You know, something you could hum along to. Maybe something that would get stuck in your head. Well, maybe not that catchy.
It's safe to say, now that they've caught the attention of Digg, I'm sure BJ Services will be a big hit. Heck, I bet it won't be long before BJ is on everyone's li...
...never mind.
My wife kicked this one my way, which is good because I've been a little lacking in the funny recently (my bad, I'll get back to it soon...I swear).
Anyway, the piece is actually an eBay item. Nope, not the one where the guy's naked reflection is in the tea pot.
It's even better...
Pokemon Cards at the Store...$3.00
Pokemon Cards sold on eBay...$142.51
Reading about the trip to get the Pokemon Cards? That's Priceless
Click here to see the infamous pack of Pokemon Cards that are probably worthless, and the story behind them that is worth every penny.
Great video from MAS Productions via YouTube. Kinda like a Small World ride for brew lovers...
Speaking of animated beer songs...
Look, I know this may be a little outdated, but, hey I have a life (well, sort of...) so don't kill me, just read on.
So, I read a post from Women Behaving Badly (shameless plug) about a book...
...A book that won the Newbery Medal for children's literature
...A book that Blogcritics.org called "an amazing story."
...A book that had the gaul to use the word (please make sure you're seated)...
Wanted to send out a couple thank you's...
The first goes to Fruvous from the great site Phunni.com for noticing lazycomic.blogspot.com on their site. Phunni is a social bookmarking tool for, well, funny stuff. No posts on how to hack your water heater, no debates on the secret plan to control us through nanorobots in the water supply, just funny stuff. Check it out and, please, feel free to post something funny from here on there.
Second, thanks to someone over at BrassageAmateur.com, a French beer-making site for noticing the blog. Usually, you want to avoid links from sites with "ass" and "amateur" in the URL, but a link from a group of beer lovers is always welcome.
