By the way there is a twitter link in the top right corner of this page. Unless you’re hacking my WordPress account and reading this through the editor.
Anyway, this elusive link I’m talking about (http://twitter.com/bottom5) is an easy way to track when I have posted new things. You know, so you don’t have to come in here running up my hit-count making me think like people are here for anything more than … well, I don’t know, why are you here?
Whatever the reason I hope you’re having fun. And if you are just now visiting, go back and read the first couple posts. They have more effort put into them. But don’t read the post on March Angriness because it’s terribly out of date now that WVU Butler Baylor Duke won
When the YouTube website went online in 2005, I would offer that it changed the world the same way as the invention of the light bulb or the wheel.
More and more cameras that fit in your pocket were beginning to have the feature to record video along with pictures, so you didn’t need no stinkin’ cam-corder like your pep pep had in the 80’s.
The problem was that before YouTube, there was nowhere you could put your vacation videos to show your friends and family. You could email them which took about 2 days to process or learn how to make and burn a DVD.
Fast forward 5 years and enter YouTube. There are videos on everything from educational documentaries to after school fights that kids recorded with their cell phone. You can watch highlights from last nights hockey game before watching all your favorite band’s music videos on-demand (no more watching Music TeleVision all day wondering when they’re going to play music!)
But with all this accessibility for the masses comes some really horrible material. Pretty much as long as it isn’t (explicitly) pornographic or copyrighted (…copywritten?) then you can find it on YouTube. So what happens when you just stumble around on the site NOT watching every video your friends talk about or that your mom’s friend (or friend’s mom) told you to watch?

1. What’s a Period? Part One
I tell ya. Nothing better than watching these videos out of context without explanations or conversation. But of course, I won’t stop you if you discuss amongst yourselves in the comments.
I seem to notice a mix between these videos. Some have a ridiculously high view count. Some are embarrassingly low. So who really knows what it is that causes a video to go ‘viral‘…
Other than that, I am staying out of it because most of these videos are disturbing if not frightening.
Welcome to mid-week mini-post Wednesday: Thursday edition!
We’re a week into Spring and three months have passed in 2010.
The local flora are about to consider blooming and Winter is right around the corner.
The only reasonable thing to do is play mean spirited pranks on people.
Bottom 3 April Fools pranks
3. Hack the internet
That’s right, hack every website at the same time. After you successfully bring the entire internet to a stand-still for an entire day, you might be experience some trouble with the Law. But I am confident that you maybe will probably get off with a warning if you tell the judge “April Fools!”
2. Try to pull over a cop
What you will need: police lights/siren built into your vehicle, impostor police uniform, ticket pad, squirt gun and/or nightstick
Drive around trying not to get pulled over for having police lights on the top of your car. When you see a real cop, speed up behind him and turn the lights and siren on. When he pulls over, walk up to his window asking for license registration and proof of insurance. If he doesn’t comply, call your friends or family for backup. Once he realizes what’s going on he will think it’s pretty funny and ironic that HE’S the one getting a ticket!
1. Tell your wife or girlfriend that you’re making dinner
At first she will fall for it and start gushing, maybe call up her girlfriends to brag. After about an hour of preparing a nice meal, have her sit down at a candlelit table, and dim the lights. Bring the food in and pour her some expensive wine (Boone’s Farm can substitute and she won’t know the difference). Tell her you want to make a toast before you dine. When you have her at the point where she can’t stop smiling, yell APRIL FOOLS at the top of your lungs.
Then pull the table cloth (and food/drinks silverware with it) off the table crashing to the floor. Start stomping around in the mess laughing and pointing at her and how gullible is.
At this point if she seems a little mad or upset, it might be getting a little over-the-top. Easy remedy: offer to take her out to Wendy’s.
If she declines and runs up to the bedroom crying, then whatever. That saves you about $7 and now you can watch the big game in piece and quiet.
