The Other Family

This is hilarious.

When I was a kid, I remember reading my family's Family Circus books that were kept on a dusty shelf of The Big House, our common summer home on Torch Lake. I spent hours every summer turning the yellowed pages, laughing aloud at the hilarity that was the Family Circus. Truly a gem.

It's 2009 now, and a genius website has popped up and brought new life to this treasured collection of comics. The Other Family takes pages from the original Family Circus books and has comedians/artists/writers/whatevers write new anecdotes and captions for the pictures. Here are a few of my favorites:

This is what video games are doing to the youth of America.

Backstory: some kid's mom got sick of spending a fortune on his World of Warcraft obsession, so she cancelled his account. Little brother (I think) decided to film his reaction. I totally think it's legitimate, too.

Pregnant Women Are Smug

It's true.  Check out this fierce music video (via Kim) for some reasons why...

Why the &#*$ do you have a kid?

This little blog asks the above question along with some confusing, scary, disturbing, funny, and strange photos of people with child (or with a child).

I hope I don't end up on a site like this someday...  Check out this pic of my niece and me and decide for yourself.

Kids take on Pulp Fiction.

The 2009 Oxford Film Festival did a remake of a few classic movies, including a scene or two from Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.  To make it a little more interesting (and entertaining), they used a couple of child actors.

Pretty funny.
