Now, just to pad out the post, LINKDUMP! Here's a little list of my personal time wasters in no particular order:
- Topless Robot - geek blog (sometimes terrifying, mostly funny)
- OlviaMunn.com - geek goddess Olivia Munn's blog (almost never terrifying, mostly funny, always hott, yes, hott, two Ts, live with it.)
- Slacktivist: Left Behind - A deeply insightful and not at all flattering maxi-review of the Left Behind books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (often funny, especially in the comments, popularity of the books actually rather terrifying)
- Penny Arcade - The original geek/nerd web comic, still the best (always funny)
- Sinfest - social commentary web comic (always funny)
- I Can Has Cheezburger? - lolcats, if you don't know what they are, check it out (often funny, sometimes just cute)
- I Has a Hotdog - loldogs, see above (plus this just made me lol)
- rofflrazi - lolcelebs (more hit and miss than the first two, but still mostly funny)
- Totally Looks Like - comparison pictures of celebs and unlikely look-a-likes (example: Christina Ricci totally looks like Melon Cat, just about as hit and miss as rofflrazi)
- Graph Jam - lolcharts (lolcats for the office set, often funny)
- Fail Blog - Everything from Epic Fails to So Much Fail, It's Full of Win (almost always funny and often a little horrifying)
- Engrish Funny - Wacky attempts at English, mostly from our Pacific neighbors, the perrenial whacked-out Japanese (almost always funny, very mystifying)
- xkcd - Geeky stick figure comic strip (always funny)
- Head Trip - Pretty eclectic comic strip with very nerdly leanings (mostly funny with some attempts at a comic-within-a-comic that's hit and miss)
The very astute/bored among you will probably notice that many of those are related sites. Some enterprising and insightful people put their noodles together, figured out a pretty good formula for getting laughs, and ran with it. There are a couple of other related sites in their commune, but I don't frequent them.
