This is a fun project and an inexpensive hobby. A word of caution when working with flammables and propellants – be careful!

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009No One as Irish as Barack Obama
Thursday, January 29th, 2009From the One Eyed Parrot Dance Club!
No one as Irish as Barack OBama
O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
You don’t believe me, I hear you say
But Barack’s as Irish, as was JFK
His granddaddy’s daddy came from Moneygall
A small Irish village, well known to you all
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There’s no one as Irish As Barack O’Bama
He’s as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew
He’s Hawaiian he’s Kenyan American too
He’s in the white house, He took his chance
Now let’s see Barack do Riverdance
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There’s no one as Irish As Barack O’Bama
From Kerry and cork to old Donegal
Let’s hear it for Barack from old moneygall
From the lakes if Killarney to old Connemara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
From the old blarney stone to the great hill of Tara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
2008 the white house is green, their cheering in Mayo and in Skibereen.
The Irish in Kenya, and in Yokahama,
Are cheering for President Barack O’Bama
O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
The Hockey Moms gone, and so is McCain
They are cheering in Texas and in Borrisokane,
In Moneygall town, the greatest of drama, for our Famous president Barack o Bama
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There’s no one as Irish As Barack O’Bama
The great Stephen Neill, a great man of God,
He proved that Barack was from the Auld Sod
They came by bus and they came by car, to celebrate Barack in Ollie Hayes’s Bar
O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama

The Most Commented Photo on Facebook
Saturday, January 17th, 2009
[Ed note: Yesterday was the one year anniversary of The Camping Photo and they passed the 20,000 comment mark! :: Also, the image to the right is NOT The Camping Photo.]
FUNFEED (FF): What is The Camping Photo?
CAMPING PHOTO (CP): In the words of Jeff Bundy, President of The Camping Photo:
We put a 6 year old camping photo on Facebook, and we noticed it was getting a lot of comments. So we decided to tag a bunch of people that weren’t in the picture, so everyone gets multitudes of e-mails everyday. The commenting caught on and now we are getting 100-200 comments everyday.

Campingphoto, in honor of the 10,000th post I would like to say a few words. I would like to thank Josh Reeves for his diligent work in designing this website and making this day possible. I would like to thank Tory Cyr, the owner of the campingphoto. I would like to thank myself, the President, and highest poster. I would also like to thank all of the liaisons, and faithful posters that have made this possible. This is a great day. A day that will go down in history [tears streaming down his face, Aerosmith playing in the background]. We’ve come a long way together, and I am ever so excited for what the future holds. Because of this photo, I now have hope. Hope for a new America and a new life filled with joy for all mankind! Lastly, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without him, the campingphoto would not exist, and neither would I. Now campingphotoers, let us relish the afterglow of this monumentous event!!!”

Fun Game that tests Your Mind
Friday, December 26th, 2008
The other day a friend came into my store and told me about a game he played on the web. He is not a gamer and neither am I. He told me how you build contraptions to move your target piece into an objective. I told him it sounded interesting but I can’t see wasting my time on a game.
He agreed but disclaimed the game was so much fun that he caught himself spending up to an hour at a time at it. And he thinks he is starting to get good at it.
That was last week. Today is the day after Christmas.
What do you do the day after Christmas? Well, after running up the holistic foods, picking up natural chocolates, visiting my friend in the retirement home, running over to the theatre and watching a movie, then stopping off to pick up office supplies and finally landing at home and pulling all the hair caught in the tub trap, I couldn’t think of anything else to do. So I sat down at the computer and logged in to play the game.
It was amazing. This game uses your knowledge of physics, or lack thereof. It is engrossing and you will find the time slip away quickly. But it is not all wasted – I am sure I’m getting smarter.
The name is Fantastic Contraption.
