Thursdays 5 -Tony

5 time-wasters hopefully you haven’t found on the interwebs yet:

How would we trudge through a 40+ hour week of work, in a slave-cave (cubicle or small office), staring at a glowing rectangle for hours each day if we didn’t have the interwebs & it’s conveniently minimizable windows of distraction? Well, tomorrow is Friday, that obligatory day in the office where we watch the clock more anxiously than a NASA tech who is “pretty sure” he checked those O-rings.

Here are a few sites that i hope you haven’t heard of to kill some time at your employers expense:

1) Tweeting Too Hard:

http://tweetingtoohard.com/

Great site to kill 5 or 10 minutes. With a plethora of retards twitting the play-by-play of their lives (self included) there’s plenty to mock & scoff at in the twitter-verse.

2) Virtual NES

http://www.virtualnes.com/list/index.html

Yes! THAT NES!!!

Most games use the arrow keys and z&x as A&B.

It even has the greatest Mario Game of all time: Super Mario 2!!

If you have ever wondered here’s the definitive list (per me):

#1: Super Mario 2

#2: Mario 64

#3: Super Mario

#4: Super Mario World (two words: Yoshi Debut)

#5: Super Mario Wii

3) Be Funky

http://www.befunky.com/

Super easy. Take your pics and pimp em’

Now adults everywhere can have cool facebook pics like photoshop prodigy middleschool students!

4) 3rd World Farmer

http://www.arcadetown.com/3rdworldfarmer/gameonline.asp

The time waster that will prick your conscious. Simple turn based farming game that opens our 1st world eyes to the struggles of our less fortunate brothers and sisters on spaceship Earth.

Don’t expect to do any celebratory “i-just-nailed-the-solo-to-Fire-and-Flames!!!” dances. But it’s a tad addicting AND conscious pricking at the same time.

Then if you want to do more:

Just a few suggestions…

5) Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook.

http://myparentsjoinedfacebook.com/

i have a dear friend who stresses constantly about their mother’s Facebook activities. So in honor of her and her stressing about maternal posts i suggest this amazing little time-waster!

Just want to say, my dad’s on Facebook & to my knowledge he has never done weird any Facebook faux pas, yet another reason my dad can beat your dad up!

Well, that’s just a sampling of time-wasters: Got any that deserve to join the ranks of FailBlog, Awkward Family Photos, People of Walmart or the Holy Grail of time-wasters: Stumbleupon (the only thing in the universe MORE addictive than a cocktail of Methamphetiamines, Heroin and Dirty Jobs Marathons)? If you do leave me some comments so i can kill some time in your favorite internet spots.
