Friday Funnies At WassupBlog

They say that writing regularly on your blog is probably one of the best things you can do, which is why I try to post at least twice a week. There was a time when I used to post three times a week and then I cut back to two because of a lack of time. One thing I noticed after cutting back to two posts a week was that my Alexa ranking started to creep up. As most of you know Alexa basically monitors the amount of traffic to your site and so one can assume that more posts leads to more traffic, although I’m sure you can overdo it and too many posts could drive your readers away.

To test the theory I’ve decided to go back to three posts a week to see if it will improve my Alexa ranking. As I’m still pretty strapped for time and because I get a lot of funny emails I’ve decided to a series of posts called Friday Funnies, and yes I will be posting every Friday, which will probably the most regular thing in my life :tongue_laugh_ee:

I Need Your Vote For The Shorty Awards

Honestly people, if you were ever going to do something for me it would have to be to vote for me in the Shorty Awards. It didn’t even know what a Shorty Award was until I read Mitch’s post, My Pitch For The Shorty Award, Being the person that I am I went out of my way to vote for Mitch and it did it not only because I consider him a friend and all round great guy, nope, I did it because he’s a great blogger and I reckon he deserves to win it.

Strangely enough I awoke this morning to a Tweet that someone had nominated me for an award as well, ergo this post, and yes that person was Mitch. Thanks mate   :drunk_tb: Being nominated I don’t expect to win, as like Mitch mentioned in his post this contest started way back in Jan 3rd and although it ends in February 17th we’ve lost almost three weeks in the voting race.

What Is The Shorty Award?

So, what is a Shorty Award? It’s an award that has been running for several years, four to be exact as this is the 4th Annual Shorty Awards, but far be it from me to put words in their mouth. This is straight from their about page.

.
The Shorty Awards honor the best of social media, recognizing the people and organizations producing real-time short form content on across Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare, and the rest of the social Web.Every year, millions of people visit the Shorty Awards site to tweet nominations for their favorite social media content creators. All those tweets culminate in a highly anticipated awards ceremony that celebrates the winners in dozens of featured categories, as well as thousands of crowd-sourced community ones. For the second time, the Shorty Awards will also honor the industry’s best agencies, brands, and social media professionals. 

Just so you know there are heaps of categories but the only one I’m interested in is not coming last in the blogging one.  :loser: If that’s not enough incentive for all my loyal fans let me list a few reasons why you should vote for me in the Shorty Awards.

You should Vote For Sire In The Shorty Award Blogger Category because;

  • I’m two inches off being 6 feet tall which puts me in the short category so I deserve a Shorty Award  :smoke_tb:
  • I’m and Aussie an all around good guy
  • I know my way around the blogging world and have amassed one or two followers
  • So that I don’t win the wooden spoon by coming last in the blogging category, and this could happen because I am last and will remain there unless you people pull your finger out :hey_you:
  • I actually know a fair bit about blogging, having 9 blogs and combined having written over 3000 posts.
  • So that I don’t embarrass myself by coming last  :hairout_tb:
  • Because you love me and want me to have a good chance at getting somewhere near the top  :wub_tb:
  • So that when I do win you can pat yourself on the back and can tell everyone that you helped me to win it  :laugh_tb:
  • Because it will give you an all round fuzzy feeling in the pit of your stomach knowing that you did something nice.  :whistle:
  • Because if you don’t your comment will be deleted  :guns_tb: OK, I’m only kidding about that one….or am I?   :crazy_man:

Well, there are 10 perfectly good reasons why you should vote for me, and just so you know where to go I’m going to make it very easy for you.


Vote For Me!


Just so you know, being a social media site and all, you need to be a Twitter member to vote as the votes have to be tweeted. I’m not sure if you can vote more than once but I don’t mind you experimenting.  :thumbup_tb: Unlike Mitch I did vote for myself just to see if it works  :tongue_laugh_ee:

So, don’t just sit there thinking about it, click that link and vote for me and then come back and leave a comment, and remember my social blogging status depends on you!  :clap: And remember when tweeting you need to add a reason why you’re voting for me. I’m sure you can think of something.

Those Who Enjoy Blogging Make Better Bloggers

Ok, this is the second Sunday in a row that I’ve done a post that’s only because I’ve been so busy working during the week. Originally I was only supposed to work 15 to 20 hours a week but they’ve been working me 40+ hours. Oh well, at least the money will come in handy :smile:

Anyway, after he last few posts where I introduced you to the best ever WordPress comment system, a brand new Social Network system and a plugin that improved the quality of comments that you’ve been getting I’ve decided to make this post a fun one, one that will entertain you and hopefully put a smile on your face.

For The Love Of Mrs. Brown Video

Now this video really cracked me up, but I have to warn you it does use the F word as well talk about stuff of a sexual nature but given all that it is bloody hilarious. :lol_tb:

Have you calmed down yet? Perhaps you would be interested to know what the world was like when you were born? Obviously it was vastly different from what we’re experiencing today, This link will show you what the world was like on the year you were born. Speaking about days gone by, here’s a joke about dating way back in 1958, the year that I was born!

Peggy Sue In 1958

Dating in 1958

It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer of 1958 and Fred had a date with Peggy Sue.  He arrived at her house and rang the bell.

“Oh, come on in!” Peggy Sue’s mother said as she welcomed Fred in.   “Have a seat in the living room.  Would you like something to drink?  Lemonade?   Iced tea?”

“Iced tea, please,” Fred said.  Mom brought the iced tea.

“So, what are you and Peggy planning to do tonight?” she asked.

“Oh, probably catch a movie, and then maybe grab a bite to eat at the malt shop, maybe take a walk on the beach…”

“Peggy likes to screw, you know,” Mom informed him.

“Uh…really?” Fred replied, with raised eyebrows.

“Oh, yes!” the mother continued.  “When she goes out with her friends, that’s all they do!”

“Is that so?” asked Fred, incredulous.

“Yes,” said the mother.  “As a matter of fact, she’d screw all night if we let her!”

“Well, thanks for the tip,” Fred said as he began thinking about alternate plans for the evening.

A moment later, Peggy Sue came down the stairs looking pretty as a picture wearing a pink blouse and hoop skirt, and with her hair tied back in a bouncy ponytail.  She greeted Fred.

“Have fun, kids,” the mother said as they left.

Half an hour later, a completely disheveled Peggy Sue burst into the house and slammed the front door behind her.

“The Twist, Mom!” she angrily yelled to her mother in the kitchen.  “The damned dance is called the Twist!

Now it’s something for the boys. I’ve done several post taking the mickey out of women, like Women & The All About Me Syndrome and maybe even the time when I rewrote the Lyrics to Roy Orbison’s Mean Woman Blues calling It Wassup’s Mean Woman’s Blues. You may even remember the funny video I made of the best ever pick-up line? Well, this next video is for all those blokes who find their eyes straying to a woman’s ample cleavage when they should be making eye contact. Come on guys I know you’ve all been caught doing that at one time or another.

What To Do When Caught Staring At A Woman’s Breasts

The problem is that in real life it doesn’t matter how accurate the logic is you use to make a point it just won’t wash when used against a woman  :wallbash_tb: Just kidding ladies, you know I luvs ya  :day_dreaming:

I sometimes try to relate my posts to blogging in some way, whether it’s a blogging tip or simply by means of highlighting a particular point. Not this time though. This time it’s just for the sheer joy of presenting it to you in the hope that you will get some enjoyment from it. If you should take anything at all from it I hope its that you enjoy your blogging because everyone knows it’s those who enjoy what they do who do well at it.  :cool:

It’s Time To Go Halloween…..Again

As Halloween is just around the corner, October 31st, I thought it was time to put on the Halloween theme for WassupBlog. I do this every year but only because FlexSqueeze makes it so easy change the blogs appearance using the import feature. I did a video of it and you can see it on YouTube but keep in mind that video is over two years old and there have been a lot of improvements since then. Naturally I had to design the Halloween theme but then again FlexSqueeze makes that an easy task as well. I’ve also got one for Easter and Christmas and when I have time I will work on some others, like a Valentine one for example.

But enough about how good this theme is, I want to entertain you with some juice Halloween Videos. I would say most of the videos you see online are American and this is because they take Halloween really seriously. Take this first one for example. The house that put this show together really went all out. Read the rest of this entry

Caesar’s Palace Moving Statues Come To WassupBlog

Yep, it’s time to visit Las Vegas again, the last time being when I told you about it in my post Las Vegas More Than Just Casinos. In that post I mentioned Caesar’s Palace in passing but before I delve a little more into Caesar’s Palace I’m going to give you a tip about the bar fridge you’ll find in Vegas hotel rooms. I know this to be true in the Bellagio and apparently it’s true for most hotels and it’s something you should know in case you’re ever lucky enough to visit, especially if you’re the type to look through the fridge contents. All the stuff in those fridges sit on a pressure plate and even if you remove a drink and then put it back you’ll will get charged for it as they will assume you consumed the product.

Oh, just in case you’ve heard that the casinos will ply you with drinks as long as you play the machines, I found that to be true but don’t expect to see them all that often. Maybe I was unlucky but in the hour or so that I was there I only got one drink but then a free drink every now and again is better than none at all. Oh, whatever you do, don’t do what I did and forget to tip the waitress.

Like I’ve said before the Hotels in Vegas are big, each have a theme and are full of things to do. Caesar’s Palace is no different. As you can imagine the theme at Caesar’s Palace is all to do with the classical Roman era and apart from gladiators and such you can’t visit that era and not come into contact with some Roman Gods. Caesar’s Palace actually has a show that involves Talking Gods. Although all the wife and I heard about was that Caesar’s Palace had something that involved moving statues, we sure as hell didn’t know those statues involved any deity.

It took us some time to find those remarkable statues too, because like I said those Las Vegas hotels are big. As it happens it was located at one end of the hotel in the Forum Shops and you may want to get there early if you want to get a good view as its pretty popular. I was thinking of you guys while I was there and so I took a video just so you guys wouldn’t miss out. :drunk_tb:

Yeah, yeah, I know I have a typo in the videos introduction :doh_tb: I hope you enjoyed that, expect some photos in one of the upcoming posts.
