I was reading an article on FoxNews.com the other day about people buying things in bulk then selling it individually to make some extra cash. The website is www.liquidation.com. It is a lot like Ebay, but they sell things in bulk. From what I have seen, they have various categories from New to Salvage. If you are interested in what is involved in buying from Liquidation.com click here

My family and I were sitting around the dinner table yesterday, and something sparked a memory from my childhood. Do you remember the old McDonald's Menu Song? I decided to do a little research to see what I could find.
I found this on Wikipedia:
The McDonald's $1,000,000 Menu Song was an instant-win promotion created as part of an advertising campaign, which ran from 1988 to early 1989. As the name suggests, the song, which was a remake of Reunion's 1974 hit single "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)", incorporates all of the items (at that time) on the McDonald's menu: sandwiches, other lunch/dinner items, breakfast items, dessert items, and drinks, in that order. Flexi discs containing the song were attached to advertising sheets. On most versions of the recording, the singers were not able to recite the song perfectly from start to finish; when the singers made a mistake, the record was over. If the singer was able to complete the song, the record was a $1,000,000 instant winner.
80,000,000 records were distributed, and only one of them was a winner.[13] The promotion was won by Salem, Virginia resident Charlene Price, who used the money to purchase the convenience store where she worked.[14]
Feel free to sing along:

The other day I was fondly remembering the trip my family took to Disney World back in November of 2008. I was thinking about how nice it would be to pack up the van and go there right now. But as a current member of the unemployed masses, I decided our family's funds would be more wisely spent on food and housing.
Then it hit me, I should go sign up for a Disney Trip Giveaway. My plan was fool proof. I would search the web for a Disney Trip Contest, sign up, and win. My search lead me to the Hanes Disney Cruise and Sock Giveaway. Get this, not only can you win an awesome Disney Cruise Vacation, but you can also win a package of socks. What a deal!!!

The other day Allen had his cousin Blake and friend Russ over to spend the night. I guess they got totally hopped up on caffeine, and this is the video that resulted somewhere between the hours of 2 AM and 5 AM. I think it is one the funniest videos I have seen.
BLAKE, ALLEN, and RUSS become the Jonas Brothers after midnight, with the help of some Java Monsters:
Just before Mother's Day 2009 the boys came to me and said they wanted to make a video for their mom. They quickly formulated a script and we hit the road. After about an hour and a half we had finished filming in 4 different locations. By the next night we had edited together our masterpiece. I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to stick around after the show to watch the outtakes.
Welcome to Funny Silly Dumb Interesting Cool Helpful Stuff, the Blog.
A few days ago I found myself in search of some much needed laughter. The world it seems is falling apart all around us, and bad news is waiting at each turn to smack the stupid smile right off our collective faces. :( Each day we are faced with news that the economy is headed down the drain, the earth is melting, and Cookie Crisps are no longer part of a healthy balanced breakfast.
The weight of the world seemed to be settling down quite heavily upon my shoulders. I decided I needed a break. I needed something Funny, Silly, Dumb, Interesting, Cool, or even Helpful to take my mind off of life. I asked my good friend Google to help me find just the right thing. It was then that it hit me how fun it would be to start a blog about all the Stuff that fit the bill.
Check out this Video of Louis CK with Conan. This pretty much sums up my life philosophy:
