Amusing Shotgun Videos
And now, some shotgun videos that I found amusing. Don’t worry, none of these videos show anyone getting hurt…much.
A Tribute to Grandpa
It’s one thing to have your cremated remains spread over a place you loved, but it’s even more awesome to have them blasted from a shotgun. I may have to consider updating my will.

Newton’s Second Law is a harsh taskmistress.
Behold the Power of Recoil, Part 2
Pistol-grip shotguns are an indispensable tool for “softening up the room” in the Grand Theft Auto games, but they’re not as easy to hold in real life, even if you’re a trained soldier.
Behold the Power of Recoil, Part 3
What happens when you try to hold a shotgun with a straight stock pistol-style? You get a free physics lesson.

Letting someone catch him on video in a Speedo was his first mistake.

That’s Just Cruel
The dolphin puts in the effort to make a special marriage proposal sign and what does his girlfriend do? She kisses his best friend right in front of him.
A simple “no” would’ve been kinder.

The CBC’s “Smell Map” of Toronto
Accordion City has plenty of maps that show where you can find its notable sights and sounds, but what about its smells? The CBC has put together a map of the better and worse smelling parts of town, and they’re inviting the public to suggest locations. If someone hasn’t done it yet, I’m going to add the wonderful smell of the Kit Kat factory just north of Dundas between Roncey and Lansdowne.

Another “Soup of the Day” Sign
The initial meeting.
The Giraffe Ranch (which I wrote about in my last Funemployment Diary entry) offers a very complete tour. You can start with a short camel ride, learn about how camels and giraffes are related, learn about animals from the savannahs of Africa, see monkeys, lemurs, wild guinea pigs, chickens and all manner of animals that like warm weather — and then you go on a grand tour of their sprawling ranch. The grand tour — which takes at least 90 minutes — can be taken on camelback or by open-air covered bus. The camelback tour is much pricier and unshaded, so we opted for the short camel ride (once again, covered in the previous Funemployment Diary entry) and took the bus.
Yes, we saw giraffes, and I’ll post those pictures. But this article’s about a camel who found me irresistible.
Unlike the other camels, who spend much of their time in the Giraffe Ranch’s “front yard”, this guy hangs out in the “back area”, where most of the other creatures live. He’s one of the stops on the grand tour, and while the other camels like guests, this one loves them.
There was something in my left pocket that he really liked. I didn’t have any food in there; just kleenex.
This is a bit forward for a first date, isn’t it?
Here we are, posing for a lovely head shot.
Awww, he likes me. You’ve got good taste, camel.
He’s now at that point where he’s all “Let’s kiss, just to break the tension.”
Someone needs to make breath mints for camels.
Geez, dude! Who do you think I am, Catherine the Great?
This photo amused me so much that I decided to risk a little personal shame and try the “Brazzers” trick: making a picture sordid simply by placing a Brazzers logo on it:
Oh, my. That’s soooo wrong.
If you’re thinking “Well, it can’t be worse than the film version of Johnny Mnemonic,” let me tell you this: Oh yes, it can be worse. Much worse.
