QWOP

OK, have you seen this?  QWOP is a hilarious web game that uses 4 keys - Q, W, O, and P, to move your guy's legs and have him "run" a 100 meter race.  It's not quite what you expect, as Q and W control your thighs, and O and P control your calves, so that combined with the ragdoll physics when you fall make for laugh-out-loud moments as you have the near-impossible task of making your legs work.  If walking were this hard in real life, the human race would be known for its tendency to lay on the floor and drag ourselves places with our chins.

I can usually make it about 8 meters before I fall on my face (just like real life, LOLOL).  The other night my brother was over and we got to talking about QWOP, to which my husband said "what are you guys talking about??"  OPPORTUNITY!  I grabbed my laptop and set it in front of him with the website, and explained how it worked and the goal.  He tried it and quickly ended up with his ankle behind his head, and we erupted in laughter.  He hit the space bar to reset and try a second time, and off he went.  It was slow and steady, but soon he was up to 5 meters, 10, 20, 35, 50 meters!  He jumped a hurdle and kept going - I had never even SEEN that hurdle and have wasted countless hours playing this amazing game.  He continued on, on only his second try of the game.  Not long after, we got this screenshot:

That's just MESSED UP.

Fun with Photoshop

My buddy Amber is learning Photoshop, and asked to borrow a picture for her assignment.  Specifically, this one:

You're probably LOLing and wondering "WHAT is the story behind THAT??!"  I had some leftover yarn, I made a beret for my cat, she was pissed, and I still laughed and laughed as I put it on her.  The hat hides the ears that are pinned backwards and indicating that she hates me so much sometimes.  I'm lucky I did not get murdered in my sleep that night.

But it's still cute, and man does it get a lot of comments.  It's a cat hat - everyone has something to say about that!  ;P

Anyway, after completing her project, she decided to play around some, and sent me this:

I received this after getting home from a 12 hour workday, and it was JUUUST what I needed.  Through the laughter and the tears, I replied with "It would be even more incredible if you made the monster very big and put him stalking around behind Sundae."  I don't know anything about Photoshop, so I wasn't sure if I had just said something along the lines of "make it 3D, make Sundae look super happy, make her stand up and do a kittycat jig, and I dancedancedance, and I dancedancedance".  I don't know how complicated the things are that I'm requesting!

It didn't take long, but I got this response:

It's almost a week later, and I still can't stop laughing!
