The Office

Big people have a server at the ‘office.’
The office is a boring place
where big people go and do boring things.

Life Dunk

For its Japanese market, Honda makes a car called the Life Dunk. There’s also the Honda That’s, which looks absolutely bizarre.

Tina Fey Commercial

I love the part in Tina Fey’s American Express commercial where the assistant answers the phone and says “your daughter says it’s octopus time” followed by a screeching taxi, and then Tina going “blaallalalala” with a stuffed octopus. And 30 Rock is very funny.

Cakes

It is difficult to describe to you the awesomeness that is encompassed by a series of posts over at The Sneeze blog: the intrepid author goes on a hilarious journey of his father’s artistic endeavors. From the introduction, you know it’s going to be good:

The awesome beauty of cakes decorated by my dad is that they inevitably contain drawings that are either incomprehensible or have NOTHING to do with my life. He’s adorable. They’re like random, edible cave paintings.

So, yes, read the story. It was all I could do to keep my laugher from spilling out of my cube into the surrounding area. Keep reading all three posts, especially to experience awesome conclusion. Made my Monday morning bearable, which is saying something.

UPDATE: Ok, having thought about this for a little while, I’m going to go out and say it: that was the best blog post of 2007 (that I read). The ideology of The Sneeze — always generating your own content, keeping it personal, etc. — are exactly what I aspire towards in a personal blog. Given that we’ve been evolving here at tumbledry for only about 8 years, I think there’s still time to hit that stride of combining humor, honesty, and experiences together into a delicious record of the times of one’s life.

Paper Airplane

A man in New York tosses a paper airplane out of his window, and a home video follows its 55 second flight. Reminds me a bit of that part of American Beauty where Wes Bentley’s character Ricky films the loops and eddies of a plastic bag in the wind.

Most Common Birthday

The most commonly occurring day of birth is October 5:

So why October 5? Just a random date? Perhaps, but Anybirthday has a theory: To be born on this date, a baby would most likely have been conceived on New Year’s Eve.

The survey also found May 22 to be the least common birthday. As yet, no guesses as to what it is that happens in late August (nine months prior to that date) that routinely turns so many people off. Perhaps it’s just too darn hot?

Apparently, my birthday is the least common birthday. A new theme for my subsequent birthday celebration… “Happy Birthday to Alex and 4 other people.”
