If, at the beginning of the college basketball season, you had told me that Baylor would be a 3 seed, while UConn and North Carolina would not even make the NCAA tournament, I’d ask what sort of alternate universe you came from.

Apparently, we are now part of this alternate universe.

(By the way — and I’m saying this as a Baylor alum — the Bears were seeded too high…they are more like a 5 seed.)

Once again this year, I have a Liquid Egg Product Tournament Bracket“>Liquid Egg Product bracket setup on ESPN. As the number of regular readers has steadily decreased over the past couple years, it should be easier for you to win this year.

As usual, there are no prizes for winning. No media interviews. No glory. Well, maybe a little glory.

Liquid Egg Product Tournament Bracket

A popular video that I didn’t stumble upon two years after everyone else has already seen it!

The content of the video is not suitable for minors (blood, Epic Beard Man’s shirt), but it’s not like minors visit this site anyway.

Tiki Barber the “Fmr. New York Giants” tells kids: Go do things

I guess this is an improvement over Scot Pollard’s “Hey, kids. Do drugs.”

Unfortunately, I can’t embed these videos, so you’ll actually have to click on the link.

They’re funny; watch them.

We’ll throw in the Piracy Warning clip as a bonus

No political message intended, I just thought this was funny. Either that or I now realize that Obama is a godless Communist who’s training new Al-Qaeda cells in Oklahoma.

Even if you’ve never picked up a Nintendo controller, you’ve probably heard of the company’s flagship character, Mario. So how did this plucky plumber get his looks?

Little was done by accident or on a whim. The mustache, the color of his overalls, and the white gloves all had practical purposes (note: video link). That Nintendo’s mascot was designed with care and foresight, is lovable, and is internationally famous contrasts very sharply with a certain other Mascot, who needs not be mentioned by name.

The New Jersey Nets are a professional basketball team, the 3-40 record notwithstanding.

Eggony is now playable. This game is safe for kids; blood and scantily-clad women are not found here. Play Eggony: the “best” web game

Boring story behind the game:

Back in October 2008, Kongregate released a tutorial dubbed “Shootorial” that taught how to create a shooting game in Flash. Intrigued, I took a look to see how they did it.

It was easier than expected.

I created a near-clone of their tutorial (ie, ripped the code and changed the graphics), dubbed it “Liquid Egg Shooter”, and added some features. Never got around to finishing it. But when Q asked where the Eggony game was? Might as well put out this one.

You’ll notice the lack of polish. There are no sounds for explosions and such. Most of the ships and enemies have no animation whatsoever (the graphic may be moving around, but the graphic is static). And some details in the How to Play might be wrong.

There was also supposed to be dialog during the game to advance the “plot”, but the only story is in the mission briefings before each level. And there were going to be more than just three levels. (You can tell because there’s no closure to the “plot”.)

Anyway, let me know what you think.

One of my friends mentioned what song she’d like for her funeral.

So that got me thinking as to how I’d like my death handled. Here are my instructions to next of kin:

• Have the doctors remove my usable organs
• Dump me in some convenient, nearby hole
• Use the life insurance money for a new car or something instead of a funeral

More than likely, someone will insist on an actual funeral and ask me what should be played for the requiem. But by the time of the ceremony, I probably won’t care too much what song’s being played. And if I am caring by that point, please have someone unlock the coffin so I can not die by being buried alive. (It would be depressing to realize no one wanted my spare body parts.) So what I’ll do is have five songs prepared, and the party goers can vote on their favorite upon arrival.

“Safety Dance”, Men Without Hats
“White and Nerdy”, Al Yankovich
“(I Can’t Play) Basketball”, Jimmy Fallon
“I’m Too Sexy”, Right Said Fred
“Grillz”, Nelly

List subject to change over the next 50 years or so. I’ll keep you posted.
