Timothy Patrick McMahon

I haven’t given this site any love in months and months.  Let me catch you up on why…

School started in the fall, and I thought I would have all this free time with the kids away each day, but no, I didn’t.  In fact, I became even busier then ever with kid-based activities.  I also took a class myself (but that was a disaster to talk about another day).

Then, December rolled around and brough Star Wars: The Old Republic.  This is a MMO game that I had been waiting years for, and well, once it hit, it sucked up ALL my free time for weeks and weeks.  I’m starting to come down off my SWTOR high, and while I still enjoy it, I no longer feel the need to spend every free moment playing it.

So, things are less busy with the kids now, and I have broken my addiction, and I feel that it is time to get back to the internet.

Why the hell do I feel the compulsion to post crap on line?  I’ve had this “need” for years now, and I  think I should be over it by now.  Especially since I have nothing to say; no original thoughts or witticisms, no grand adventures to document, no works of creativity to share.  But, something about this modern era of digital sharing drives me to keep posting and reposting, even though I know no one is listening, or cares.

This compulsion really kicks in every two years when ROFLcon rolls around.  ROFLcon III is just a few months away, and if I ever hope to be on a panel (one of my secret dreams), then I need to get off my butt and find some internet notoriety.  But, again, I have nothing worth sharing.

Anyway, I’ve given up creating online goals for myself that I never follow through on.  (my latest idea was to just post audio snippets, but I hate the nasally sound of my inarticulate voice.)  I’ll just go back to reposting other peoples crap.  Enjoy!

On no, the internets have leaked into real life again!

I love when this happens!

On December 13th, 2010, I wrote…

Last year, I spent way too much time browsing the internet just looking for the lulz. It was fun, but a complete waiste of time. I’ve broken myself of that habit thankfully. (though, I still haven’t accomplished anything yet with all this new time I’m not flittering away.)

Anyway, here is a bunch of stuff I found last spring, (which is eons ago in internet time). Just wanted to share it, so I can justify this stuff clogging up my hard drive. (this is post one of two – I’ll get to the rest of it later.)

Well, here is post two. Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. Enjoy!

I love that you can read this as he left them, or, he killed them. Makes me smirk darkly either way.

I'm with the 80%

Religions are silly!

We got a puppy last year - It's true!

Liked this one, simple as that.

Ya know, there are a great many things not in the bible...

I think the same can be said for politics.

One for the Potter fans.

Milhouse is not a meme.

Science can be funny too!

Statistically, my life is half over, and I've already come to this conclusion.

I wake up everyday feeling like this banana. Ugh.

So sad. So funny. So true.

His signature shot.

Punny!

It was funny when I was 9, it's funny now.

I wonder who was the first idiot to pull this face and think that it made her seem hot?

IMagine what we could do, if we all worked together?

We all do it in the end. :-)

TRON: LEGACY -As good as my childhood memories r of the original (even tho my adulthood memories of the original r not that good). 3D is A+!

And as a bonus, I give you Mr. Jay Maynard, The Tron Guy, with me in the background, as we appeared in Wired Magazine together! (ROFLcon 2008)

Update – I just found this article on TMZ.  It made me sad. :-(  It reads…

Jay Maynard — who’s been doing the Tron Guy thing since ’04 — tells TMZ, he gave his local movie theater a heads-up that he planned to see the new “Tron” flick in his famous costume … but for some reason, they “adamantly” insisted he wouldn’t be admitted if he suited up.

We don’t know why management refused — the suit OBVIOUSLY belongs in a museum — but Maynard believes it’s because his masterpiece is “too distracting.”

An old reference, and not a funny picture, I just really liked this piece of art.

But it's freedom to have these crazy beliefs that makes this nation so damn great!

Ha! Babies are funny!

Gonna let this one speak for it self.

It's the simple things that amuse me the most.

I love when pop culture icons cross pollinate.

The illogic of religion bothers me more then the BS.

It's because I have issues, that I had to stop collection issues. (but I still have issues, both kinds.)

Someday, when I am feeling my jerky-est, I will try this. Someday.

No joke here, other then to introduce you the woman I married. In both appearance and demeanor.

Oh media, why would you lie to us?

When I read stuff like this, I'm happy to learn that I am not alone in the world!

Oh my, look how far technology has come! (no pun intended)

Once you see it, you will never unsee it!

Prolly fake, but it made me smirk.

I'mnot posting this because "Everyday Italian" is the greatest cooking show of all time, but because I was amazed to learn that there is a whole webste devoted to nothing but jokes about Food Network.

I love it when two memes intermix. Here, we have finger art and one of my personal favs, Forever Alone.

Sorry, but Hitler jokes still amuse me. Kinda appropriate that Mr Hand Hitler here is giving us the finger, since the real Hitler was such an asshole, don't you think?

Old timey racism also amuses me. (We can joke about it, because bigotry is no longer an issue in America, right?) Why do sch inappropriate things make me laugh?

Oh wait, we still have such problems. Thanks religious right!

This one is so crude that I almost wasn't going to post it. Almost.

So wrong...

Honestly, after the first glance, you can't help but stare. Am I right!? Yes? Anyone?! Oh gawd, please don't tell me I'm alone on this one?!?

I was 6 months old at that time.

:-)

I sooo hope this is fake!

Another one that is just plain wrong, but it made me bust out laughing.

I'll admit, I've shed more then one tear in the kitchen.

Someday, when I have a place of my own, I'm going to do cool stuff like this!

I’m going to post these on the chans and see if I can start something.  (I doubt it, but a boy can dream, right?)

Screw You Salt Water! Fresh Water is way better. I’m just sayin’…
Screw You San Marino! Monaco is way better. I’m just sayin’…
Screw You Lobster! Shrimp is way better. I’m just sayin’…
Screw You Applebees! TGIFridays is way better. I’m just sayin’…
Screw You Chipmunks! Squirrels are way better. I’m just sayin’…
Screw You White Chocolate! Milk Chocolate is  way better. I’m just sayin’…
Screw You You Tube! Vimeo is  way better. I’m just sayin’…
Screw You DVD’s! Blu-Ray is way better. I’m just sayin’…

Let me here your “Screw You”.  Leave a comment.

Update: – this didn’t catch on like wildfire and become the next big meme on the chans.  (In fact, I was booted off of 420chan cause of it.  Oh well.)  It just goes to show that you can not force that which should be organic.

I just set up a “Stick It In Your Mouth” page (see the link in the upper right).

This is part of an ongoing “video performance piece” where I will try to create 10 videos a day.  – Email me or comment on the “Stick It In Your Mouth” page, and tell me what you would like me to next “stick in my mouth”. I will be be sure to credit you in the video if your idea is used.

Also, tell your friends and send them the link to http://timothypatrickmcmahon.wordpress.com/stick-it-in-your-mouth/ .  Thank you.

Inappropriate things make me laugh.  Especially religion, death and the Nazis.  Here is a bunk of Jesus Jokes that made me laugh.  Man, that guy can be a deal dick sometimes, eh?  Enjoy!

On Golden Pond

Now we know where earthquakes come from.

Most of this stuff is just made up anyway, right?

Don't try this at home.

Now, that's just rude!

Ha! Jesus tells mom jokes! Ha!

Whata douche.

How annoying.

LOL indeed Jesus, lol indeed.

Here we see the pervy side of Jesus.

Now, is Jesus trying to get this guy to go out and be his wingman for the night, or are they roomates and is Jesus trying to get him out of the apartment so that he can be alone with a lady?

Cancer Jokes! Love 'em!

Sure, he's being a dick to the guy here, but he is helping the lady in this one. So, maybe Jesus isn't such a bad guy after all.

I wonder why he doesnt have legs?

Jesus would be a creationist, wouldn't he.

Like I said, I like to laugh at inapropriate things.

OFFICE SPACE!

That's just wrong!

You think Jesus would understand science. After all, his dad did invent this stuff!

Both comments make me laugh.

And I'll end today on a bad play on words. Goodnight folks!

If you know me, then you know I love the DOWNFALL meme.

Last night, I was reading Newsweek, (The issue from a week or two ago, with Hilary Clinton on the cover, calling her Obama’s “Bad Cop”), a magazine I normally enjoy.  But, a passage about the DOWNFALL meme in the magazine kinda pissed me off.  No, not kinda, it really got me mad!

They called the meme played out, which, okay, sure, it’s been around a while now and I can understand that some people may be sick of it (I’m not), but hey, that’s their opinion, and I can respect that.  What I could not respect was the way they said it was a good thing that Constantin Films, the production company behind the film, had ordered the DOWNFALL clips off of YouTube.

Why am I angry?  Because this is a case of yet another media company claiming “copyright” in an inappropriate manner, and ignoring the fair use laws that protect this form of parody and remixing.  And, I would think that Newsweek, normally an intelligent publication, would be smart enough to understand the bigger picture.

I’m not the most articulate person when it comes to explaining all of this (without writing a five page essay), so go do some research and educate yourself on the topics of remix culture and copyright vs fair use.  Trust me, these are important subjects in todays digital culture.

And on a somewhat related note…

Brandon Hardesty has been re-enacting scenes from films and posting them to YouTube for a while now.  They are interesting, one man experiments in acting.  Recently, he posted his own version of the (in)famous DOWNFALL scene.  Pretty good, for a non German speaker!

Wow, is it that time already? Time for another ROFLcon? Cool! Cuz I love me some ROFLcon!!!

If you are coming to  TimothyPatrickMcMahon.com after visiting ROFLtuxes.Net, hello and thank you!  I bet you’re probably looking for an explanation.  Well…

I went to the first ROFLcon back in 2008, and it was great. Except for the fact that I had the flu and should have been in bed. BUT, I wasn’t going to miss the event for anything. Instead, I loaded up on medications, water and trudged through the weekend. Look, here is a picture of me that was in WIRED, feeling puffy, light headed and a bit out of sorts.

I'm the Ickabod Crane stand-in in the back.

I went with my buddy Roe, also seen in the photo above (not the one in spandex).  We had a great time, but we knew that when ROFLcon II came around, we needed to have a better time!

But how?  Well, we wanted to stand a bit closer to the ROFLcon spotlight.  But, neither of us had anything that would deem us worthy of being on a panel, we didn’t have an audience, we didn’t have cyber-fame, we were not innovators or creators, we were not Internet Superstars.

So, we would have to find a way to stand out from the crowd.  And how could we do this?  One word…

Tuxedos!

At first it was jut a joke, but we decided to do it.  We have no goal other than to get people to stop and say hello.  Simple as that.  We want this weekend to be a social adventure were we meet new and interesting people, have conversations with intelligent strangers, and, as an ego stroke, we want people to approach us and ask to have their pictures taken with us.  (Yes, I’ll admit I can be just that shallow!) Simple as that.

So anyway, that’s all.

This site isn’t much, just a place I share stuff I’ve found other places.  I’m sure these links, photos and videos are not everyone’s cup of tea, but they made me lol, and so I’ve reposted them here.  I keep telling myself I need to do something “original” with this site, but I’ve yet to come up with an idea.  Stop by again in the future, look for me elsewhere online, and let’s be internet friends!

A couple days old now, but…
The DOWNFALL meme is my favorite meme. Recently, YouTube as starting pulling these videos. So of course, someone posted a DOWNFALL video in response to all of this. Enjoy it while you can.

More things I’ve found online that made me laugh, but might “upset” some of you. Oh well. I wont apologize, but I will keep on giggling like a school girl.

I wasn’t a big fan of Chuck Norris Facts, but I like this creative use of a fender bender.

Help!  I’m looking for some new sites to visit.  I’m looking for the type of sights that are filled with lots of ‘Internet Ossim-ness!’.  The type of site that has lots of links, photos, videos and other online “stuff” that is random, crazy, funny, occasionally naughty, and always entertaining.  Please leave your recomedations in the comment section below.  Thanks!
