The Flash Video Contest is Dumb

Stop posting stupid videos everyone...please. And Weird Al, by definition, is stupid. Only post quality fare like this one.



NEW CONTEST! - Who looks best in tights?

last entry

Since no one really cares about this contest (yours truly included) I have to present this as my final submission...
2 faults: 1) the music sucks; 2) it is blasphemy to allow for the death of Chuck Norris
1 good thing: the moral presented at the end is very important.

Finnish Flash

"Post what you believe is 'the best flash video on the internet.'" I believe that this one where he breaks the rookie goal scoring record while playing for the Winnipeg Jets (ZT'L) qualifies.

The flash to end all flash

I'm sorry to have to resort to this, but once I see pandas on drugs (or just experimenting?), I must pull out all the stops.
Enjoy.

I like Pandas

Especially when they are on crack. Seriously, are those meth-flavored lollipops?

There is more to flash than music videos

I tried to embed this one, but it got messed up, so please click here. Enjoy!

Retrospective nostalgic flash

This one should win hands down, both for its humourous nature and its historical significance.

More from Weird Al...

Hey All!
More greatness from Weird Al. Maybe next week I'll switch to another philosopher.
Gaby, thanks for the opportunity to showcase this greatness.
The song is great, but the flash at the end leaves something to be desired

UFVC: Gaby 'n Fish (1st Submission)

Ultimate Flash Video Challenge

Clearly we have a very competitive bunch here. I figure that we need to have a new competition every once in awhile to stimulate activity around here. I'm going to propose that we, the bloggers here at Gaby's Gobbledygook, make many ultimate challenges. Up until now we have had one ultimate challenge, and that was the UBC (the Ultimate Blogger Challenge) which was won by Jon (runner-up was the criminal and back-poster Maxiebaby & Wife). Seeing as no one else has proposed another ultimate challenge, I will offer up another ultimate challenge.

Ultimate Flash Video Challenge

Before the censors run amok, let me clarify. This challenge involves no nudity.

Rules: Each blogger is allowed one submission per day in the challenge. The challenge will last one week, the deadline being at midnight (Eastern Standard Time) on Wednesday night, (for those of you keeping track that means that you may make a maximum of seven submissions, but you can't submit more than one flash video on any particular day). The submission process is simple. Post what you believe is 'the best flash video on the internet' you can even create your own if you have the time, knowledge, lack of things to do...

Winning the Challenge: The only way I could think of awarding this challenge that was fair was to vote on it. So each Gobbledygook blogger (that means each username, so Maxiebaby & Wife counts as a single blogger) gets to vote for their top 5 flash videos (1st place = 5 points, 2nd place = 4 points...). The video that gets the most points wins the challenge and that blogger is crowned with the UFVC. Just to clarify because I know some bloggers will misunderstand the scoring system, it's the video with the most points that wins, not the blogger with the videos that add up together to make up the most points. Understand? Now to make it even more fair, the votes have to emailed to ufvc2007@gmail.com before midnight on Thursday, November 29th, 2007. This way you can't be swayed by popular opinion. Also gives you a whole 24 hours to vote. Hope it's not too complicated.


Ultimate Challenge Standings:
1st Place: Jon, 2 points (Won UBC)
2nd Place: Maxibaby & Wife, 1 point (Runner-up UBC)
Tied for 3rd Place: Everyone else, 0 points.

Note: every ultimate challenge is worth 2 points for the winner while the runner-up collects 1 point. All Gaby's Gobbledygook bloggers are welcome to start an ultimate challenge.

I can't believe we missed this summit

Here.

I wonder if they sent out actual invitations and if they did, then I really want to know why I wasn't invited.

Did you hear about this NFL player?

Apparently a paternity suit in Georgia revealed that Travis Henry, a running back for the Denver has fathered nine children by nine different women in the last FOUR years. Even though he recently signed a 22.5 million dollar contract his lawyer has been quoted as saying that 'he doesn't have any money.'

He's gotta be on pace to beat some sort of record. Also, their family simchas must be really complicated.

this is NOT from the onion

interesting article

The Colbert alternative

As you may know, Stephen Colbert isn't running for president anymore (sniff!)
But there is hope! Check this out. Mike Huckabee- an actual candidate- has Chuck Norris' endorsement. The video is precious. Hopefully Mr. T is in the next round of commercials.
Too bad that due to my job I can't make any political statements....

The Rebbie's glasses

As reported here, one of the supreme news sources of our age, someone is auctioning off the Bobover Rebbie's glasses for a starting bid of $350K on Ebay. I'm thinking that at this price, if the Lubavitcher Rebbe (note no i) had known, he would have worn 3 pairs.

Hook me up with Mad Latka Jones

From Fox News:

SEATTLE — Coming soon next to the Coke and Pepsi in a store near you: ham-and latke-flavored soda to make your holiday feast complete.

It even will be kosher, the company making it says — including the ham.

Jones Soda Co., the Seattle-based purveyor of offbeat fizzy water, is selling holiday-themed limited-edition packs of flavored sodas.

The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latkes sodas.

"As always, both packs are kosher and contain zero caffeine," Jones said in a statement.

The packs will go on sale Sunday, with a portion of the proceeds to be given to charity, the company said.

Jones' products feature original label art and frequently odd flavors. Last year's seasonal pack was Thanksgiving-themed, with Green Pea, Sweet Potato, Dinner Roll, Turkey and Gravy, and Antacid sodas.

For its contract to supply soda to Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Jones came up with Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream and Natural Field Turf. The company — fortunately or unfortunately — prides itself on the accuracy of the taste.

Jones also makes more traditional flavors, including root beer, cherry and strawberry sodas.

Is there a worse feeling?

I'm not sure there's a more disappointing feeling in the world than when you take your box of Raisin Bran out for breakfast and you start pouring the cereal into a bowl and as the cereal is tumbling from the box to the bowl all you see is fecal matter and there isn't brown flakes and raisins to be found.

Apple Prices Fluctuating Like Mad

I don't know what's going on? I was just at the College Square Loblaws and an 8lb bag of Macintosh apples was selling for $1.99 and the 4lb bag of the very same apple was selling for $3.99.
