Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends




I love Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, a cartoon on Cartoon Network. I think it's sweet, funny, smart, and the art direction is creative and beautiful. The premise is that Foster's is a an orphange of sorts for imaginary friends who have been placed there by their creators who have grown up. At Foster's, the friends have a chance to be adopted by other, apparently less imaginative, children. The cast of characters include a tall, red creature named Wilt who loves basketball and whose sneakers squeak as though they walk on a basketball court, Mr Herriman a Harvey type bunny who runs the place, and Eduardo, a cowardly Wild Things type monster. Bit of Trivia- the fictional town where Foster's resides was founded by Elwood P Dowd, the main character of Harvey.

Happy Easter

5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself)


Getting stabbed in the men's room by a clown or being attacked by ferret for trying to go to the boss' office may not be real work place dangers, but I can relate to the desire to do do anything to get out of the next meeting. Getting out your workplace stress is made easier thanks to this twisted game at Adult Swim.com.

You have 5 minutes to die, be it while eating urinal cakes, putting metal in the microwave, or insulting co-workers; we've all got to go sometime, might as well go to one less meeting.
