Stupid Blogger Tricks... really stupid

Aimee "Greeblemonkey's" mom is in the hospital. Aimee wants to make her mom laugh. So she posted a video of herself putting her toe in her mouth. Then she asked other bloggers to step up and post their stupidist (most stupid?) tricks so that she could show her mom.

Originally, I was going to post a video of me doing impersonations of all the SpongeBob characters (trust me, I rock 80% of them), but then fate stepped in. My family was over at my friend Lolita's house for dinner tonight. We got to talking about her dog Gidget, who has a talent for escaping enclosed areas, like their yard. Lolita  mentioned the invisible electric dog fence that she just had installed. Then she showed me the collar.

If you know me at all, you can figure the rest out. Aimee, I sincerely hope your mom pees her hospital gown once more.

That's epic. Brilliant.

YOU ARE ADORABLE. & sure, not that bright maybe. But that was some good lulz, thanks.

I don't know about Amy's mom, but I almost peed my pants.

And strangely, I feel like I needed that. Thanks!

This is nearly an entry into the Darwin's Awards. Except that, fortunately, these collars don't kill you. But it sure was dumb. And completely hilarious!! You are awesome.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMommyTime

That. Was. Awesome.

You are my dog collar hero.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAimee Greeblemonkey

That is true commitment to the blogging world, Jim. I give you a whole lot of praise for following through so completely.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertracey

I am impressed you didn't drop the beer. True talent.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBig Daddy

I've watched this at least 80 times by now. Still cracking me up. What can we get you to do next time?? Hmmm....

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLolita

That is AWESOME! Didn't spill a drop of beer either, good job, you keep your man card.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHockeymandad

Bwahahahaha! You rock. I nearly peed from laughing! Also, I finally think it's time to admit I once grabbed an electric fence to 'see if it was on.' Nearly dislocated my shoulder from the jolt!
Stupid blogger tricks!

Now you can add "canine security inspector" to your resume. Plaudits to you for stepping up to the plate with that stunt, and for saving the beer.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertom

O M G I'm thinking there were a couple of beers before the one in your hand. You crack me up, man.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterkathygee1

I was gritting my teeth and awaiting the beeping to signify your arrival....no wonder you were drinking! Did it hurt long afterwards? Nevermind, I don;t want to know what I subject my dogs to.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertraci

You really did this? Mr. Frog and I were discussing if it would work on humans. Guess we know the answer now. You are really too much.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSmoochiefrog

And all while holding a beer? TALENT.

(Sorry I missed you this weekend, we were in town for like 14 minutes.)

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterZak

This right here is why I love your blog.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle

Dude- I am sitting here with warm wet pants. Too Funny.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRob

You are a true poet and a GREAT friend!

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLiz@thisfullhouse

Dude. You saved the beer. You rock. Funny as hell though .. all I could think was .. holy shit that's stupid!

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterauntie julia

I have to admit, I’ve been a lurker for years on your blog. This is why I keep coming back. Very funny. The best part about it, you didn’t drop your beer. Awesome.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKaost

Of course there's a beer in your hand. OF COURSE.

August 12, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMiss

I just have to say it: You are such a DORK!

Loved that you took a swig of beer (Newcastle?) before walking into the jolt.

August 13, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMommycosm

That is hilarious! Can you do it again in broad daylight for a better quality video?

August 13, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterpixielation

You already know I have to say this: Poor gidget!! :( I hope it doesn't hurt her!
And boy are you an idiot. Call David Letterman!

August 13, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterauntie mei

Oh man, that was fabulous. My laptop almost bounced off my lap I was laughing so hard. You're a champion!
