brainstorming a niche website: FOT collaboration?

[Keith Whitener]

What are street jokes? Is it anything like street magic? If so, I'll have none of it.

Street jokes is what I thought was the term for the sort of jokes that seem to exist without any known author. Like, "A guy walks into a bar. There's a horse there. The guy says I bet I can make that horse laugh..." Those kind of jokes.

There's also the blog of unnecessary quotation marks. http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/

Where did so many people get the idea that quotes are used for emphasis? Maybe they meant to use *asterisks.*

I was surprised that I didn't hear more dramatic readings of things akin to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBHOL1PcPR8
That's the original one from YTMND

The new one's on Youtube are awful, but I think there might be potential for this.

How 'bout this guy for the mid-blink site?

...um...maybe not...

Wow!  I don't think Kid Jersey wants to be featured on MidBlink, especially since the page is "Brought to you by Friends of Tom."  But thanks for the link.

Yeah, I was completely kidding. I just happened upon the picture at the same time this thread was going on. Thought it was funny the timing and all.

Second submission from the public to Midblink.com? PORN!  Someone sent us an image of a woman, hiding nothing, in mid-blink.

Has anybody heard of Man Babies?

Yeah, how on earth are spam-bots programmed to be smart enough to 1) know we take mid-blink submissions, and 2) also bombard us with mid-blink porn? That's an algorithm that beats all.

Speaking of spam-bots, how about a compendium of spam-bot generated text that sounds good? Here's my fav from one's I've gotten. It's form Negro B. Guaranties:

He called her Roger (or was it Roger?).If from football team boogie of carpet tack, then related to briar patch panics. Still secretly admire her from submarine living with, conquer her bowling ball beyond with toward bowling ball.

I think a good website would be one that specialized in inappropriate rapping.

E.g. "Fresh Young Balki B."
