How Are You Celebrating the Holiday Today? Chester County Sandpaper.

Do you believe it's the anniversary of the invention of sandpaper again? It was on this day in 1834 that it was invented.

Time flies doesn't it?

So how are you celebrating? I know what I'm doing. I'm making my badself a costume made completely of sandpaper (with the exception of toilet paper cores for the eyes) and I'm going to march around the Chester County.

If you see me - give me a friendly wave and I'll toss you some hard candy. You know - like it's a parade and shit.

..And Everybody! Richard Simmons Getting Pissed Video.

Check out my man Richard Simmons getting pissed:

George Thorogood. Bourbon Scotch Beer. Great Party Song.

George Thorogood grew up about 30 miles from here. I never met him but One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer was a regular song that we'd pop into the car cassette player back in the day.

And it's today's Friday Send Off Song - dedicated to The Devil's Daughter in Law and Former Fat Chick. Thanks for commenting on TBY.

Is anyone a fan of this song or these blogging gals? Go ahead - tell me your answer in the comments region. Don't be afraid.

Someone Please Help Me With This Problem I Have. Computers.

How. Are any of my readers Indian tech support dudes?

Because I need your help.

I turned my computer on the other day and:

- All my files are gone. Word docs, pictures, etc. Also, missing desktop icons.
- The opening pop up screen says,"Welcome to you new Dell Computer" - with steps to walk through setting it up.
- Everything is REALLY slow.

Does this my computer has crashed? I thought when it crashed - nothing even worked. I'm not sure.

I do have everything backed up on an external hard drive.

Does anyone have any solutions?

Should I simply plug into the external hard drive and try to pull everything back onto my laptop?

Thanks. And sorry my people stole your land.

Some of My Favorite Twitter Tweets. West Goshen Dude.

I know many of you don't like Twitter but after a few weeks I've come to like it. Blogs are a lot better but the great thing about Twitter is that can Tweet my special thoughts throughout the day and now I'm prepared to report newsworthy events. So look out.

....Like when that guy was in the West Goshen wine store bore-assing everyone about how he knows the best place to buy blue crabs. I wonder how many of my Tweet followers went there when I broke that story to hear the guy? At least three. Don't you think?

I told you it was a powerful tool.

So here are a few of my select Tweets over the last few week:

Time to lay in bed and try to dream about another blogger. Maybe it'll be you..or you...(popping up from behind your couch) or even YOU!!!

I bet when that guy came up with the saying about the taint it spread like wildfire.

Wonder if anyone ever brought a Franklin Mint Wolf Knife to the Antiques Roadshow?Then they laughed. Then he did a burnout in parking lot.

I think a line of wife beater tees with images of wife beater guys saying things like, "I SAID SALISBURY STEAK!"..would make a nice line.

2 of my sisters just told me they thought my blog was too sexual for someone thats married.

according to billboard accross from eagles stadium is billboard advertising show for loverboy. get your tickets now!

Tip for foreigners - don't say: "Nice dress. Did Mrs Roper lend it to you"......That would most likely be taken as an insult,

wonder what the most rejected salvation army item is? probably the urine soaked mattress. oldie but a goodie.

wonder if slum dog millionaire has helped Indian dudes get laid more. what do you think?

wonder if theres a guy with the nickname tip toe timmy.

Someone should write a sappy love song about a woodpecker that's really the dead grandfather giving advice. "Pecky's Message of Love"

Have you ever heard a squirrel cry? I bet if you recorded it then played it really loud at a person w/ a weak heart it could kill them.

Dating tip: Tell your lady that she's 6 times a lady.Point out that that's double 3 times.When she's doing the math, reach for her butt.

just saw a lady with neck fat like a gunny sack. wait. whats a gunny sack?

I wonder if there are any normal people that own ferrets? ...Naaa. Just kiddin'.

One Time In Band Camp - Travel Edition. Part 1. Phillies

In the style of "...this one time in band camp...." (from the movie American Pie) -here's my version but the travel edition. Part 1.

...this one time in Long Beach, California...we were at a club and this lesbian bit my friend's finger because she wouldn't dance.

...this one time in Frankfurt, Germany..... while bags were being unloaded at hotel I saw a woman's pastel colored polka dot suitcase and I said, "I think your luggage got mixed up with Jan Brady's". Turns out the the woman was an upper level management person from corporate that I'd never met. Nice first impression.

....this one time in Philly.... I hooked up with a Phillies ball girl.

....this one time in Virginia Beach, Virginia..... I went down this huge water slide and it instantly gave me an enema. I had to run to a bathroom.

....This one time in Connecticut...I was telling this funny story to colleagues and accidentally walked them onto the train going North instead of South., They almost missed their flight back to England.

.....This one time in Malvern, PA..... after having sex with some girl in her parents bed I threw the condom under the bed. What?...I couldn't find the trashcan..... And I was really drunk.

....This one time in Detroit, Michigan.... I saved a kid's life by pulling him out of a burning car. I left the scene because I didn't want to be in the newspaper.

Well, that last one's a lie. I was just trying to redeem myself for the second to the last one.

What happened to YOU one time?

I've Been Told I Look Like Him. Errol Flynn. Twins?

I've been told by a few people that I resemble Errol Flynn. Well..only a few people. It was always my aunts and some other older people. You know how they can be...

But looking at this video though....I think there is a bit of a resemblance in some of the photos if I don't say so myself*.



* of course I haven't had a cheesy mustache for years but....

Blogger Wendy Brandes Was In My Dream Last Night

Does anyone else have dreams featuring other bloggers?

Last night the beautiful Wendy B from Wendy Brandes Jewelry showed up. Turns out we were at the same trade show. So I invited her back to the hotel - which was really a huge house that was packed with people. She came in the bedroom that was the scene from Willie Wonka with lots of people in multiple beds.

I got in bed with my wife and she was in the bed next to us and we were talking about blogging and jewelry designs.

Sadly, the thunder in Chester County this morning woke me from the dream .

Sea Isle Bird Attack. Funny Animal Attack Video.

It was pretty funny when my sister got attacked by a bird in Sea Isle this weekend. It was weird though. Ten people sitting on a deck at midnight, loud as hell and this bird comes out of nowhere and flaps into her hair. And it wasn't a bat either. I saw it with my own two eyes.

She was freaking out.

We were laughing.

Here's a funny video of various people getting attacked by birds.

Dream Machine That Someone Should Invent. Mexican Gang.

I've always had really weird dreams. So weird that I think some people think I'm just making it up when I tell them.

I wish someone would invent a machine that could be hooked up to someones brain and record their dreams. Then you could watch them like you're watching TV. If they did, here's what you could have been watching if you were tuned to the Dr Zibbs Dream Channel last night:

I was in Mexico and I was trapped in a car. I couldn't get out because these dogs were trying to attack me. The dogs finally left and I was able to get out.

Once out of the car though, this gang approached me and they said they were going to kill me. They walk away to prepare themselves and this weird guy approaches me and tells me that I (like him) have the ability to transform into any creature thus helping me defend myself against the gang that's going to kill me.

So the weird guy says, "You can change..just like this"...

He spins around and all of a sudden he looks like Santa Claus. But a disheveled Mexican Santa. Proudly he says, "You see, when the gang comes back, do you really think they're going to want to kill Santa? .....Thinks about it."

I remember thinking.."What the hell?"....

Then I woke up. True story.

Sea Isle City Turtles Reminds Blogger About I Like Turtles Kid.

So when I was rescuing turtles in Sea Isle City this morning and putting them back in the bay I couldn't help thinking of the "I like turtles kid".

Well, it was actually someone else rescuing them put I was playing an important role by standing there, watching and saying, "I like turtles".

Kicking Sand In Face in Sea Isle City

I'm leaving in 5 minutes to go sit on the beach in Sea Isle. I'll bring a sketch pad so I'll be prepared in case this happens:

You're a Brick House. No You Are. The Commodores.

(ringing a bell and acting like a DJ) Hey..it's Friday everybody! Wocka-Wocka-Woooo!

Another week of blogging completed. But as you know I blog on the weekend too. I guess I'm referring to your week of blogging. Who knows what I'm talking about?

Katrocket and Son of A Thomas get the shout out for this Friday. Two bloggers that haven't commented here in a while. I hope they come by more often. Go check out their blogs and threaten them into leaving more comments here. I don't know.

And now I give you Brick House by The Commodores. START DANCIN'!!

Now I'm off to Sea Isle, NJ. Follow my amazing journey on Twitter. So long SSSSuuuucccckaaaas!

If I'm On The Radio Would Anyone Want To Ask Me Questions?

So the other night I ran into a radio personality that reads my blog. He knows my secret identity through a friend.

He never comments for some reason but he reads it. Of course he asked, "Are you really like that Dr Zibbs character?"

"Character". Oh that was rich.

Anyways, me being all famous and shit, he said he thought it might be interesting to interview me on his morning radio show. I said I would do it but now I'm debating it. Would anyone want to call in and ask me questions if I do it? Or you could call in and tell everyone how much you love my blog. I don't know.

The show is streamed on the world wide web of the Internet so you'd be able to hear it. My media domination plan has been: Blog to Twitter to TV shows to Movies but maybe the radio thing would be a nice stepping stone to the TV show gig*. I'm not sure.

So I'm just testing the waters here to see if there would be any interest in you (the reader) calling in to ask me questions if the station meets my elaborate demands and I decide to do it.

*Uh..does anyone know anyone who works in the TV industry? If so, please print out my entire blog(500 plus pages), and write "Resume" on the top and give it to them.

Things I Like and Don't Like. Weight Loss and Bruno.

Things I really, really don't like lately:

- Michelle Obama (who cares?)
- The multi grain cereal commercial :"It's on the box"
- Rainy Days and Mondays (they always get me down).
- Every celebrity talking about weight loss. How about a life plan? It's the only thing that works.
- Anything with Tyler Perry.

Things I really like lately:

- Chipotle (recently opened in West Goshen)
- Twitter (and my HILARIOUS tweets. That's what they're called...tweets).
- That this blogger is back. I missed her comments. She's old school Zibbs. Gold member.
- This "special" lady that stands on the corner (on Church Street near the Growers Market) in West Chester everyday waiting for a bus and she wears a different hat everyday. Everyday! And she's always looking down the street where the bus is coming from as if she's really concerned where it is and she's preparing for it to come around the corner (and I swear I'm not making fun of her either).
- The Bruno movie that's coming out soon.

Hysterical Futuristic Robot World of Tomorrow Vision. Video Fun.

People often say, "Dr Zibbs, where do you find these great videos?"

Well I've said it once and I'll say it again.: Skylers Dad is the master of finding the funniest videos. So much so, I'm considering having those words embroidered onto a pillow, then sending him a photo of the pillow. As a thank you.

Do you want to see a video about the world of the future? With tons of mentions of "robuts"? Sure you do.

Then check out this video and see what had me laughing hysterically this morning. And follow his blog while you're at it!

Please. Tell me what you think of this video.

Carling Black Label, Pabst and Beers My Dad Drank. Commercials.

So NOW I know why my dad drank Carling Black Label Beer. He did later switch to Past Blue Ribbon. I remember bringing those dark brown, returnable bottles up from the downstairs fridge.

Sometimes he's let me pour the beer into the frosted glass. I'd love to watch the bubbles.

Other than the beatings, what memories do YOU have of your dad drinking beer?

What Are The Best Food Brands? Chips. Baked Beans. Burgers.

When I mentioned Baby Rays BBQ sauce in a post last week I got a great reaction. And some suggestions on some other BBQ sauces which I'll be trying.

So I'd like to get a list of some other brands that people love. I'd love to try some of them out.

Here are some that I like:

Baked Beans: Bush's
Frozen Dinners (when necessary) - Stouffer's red box (mac and cheese).
Toilet Paper: Scott's
Potato Chips: Wise (regular). Herr's brand Kettle Chips.
Scotch: Dewars.
Processed Pie (single portion): Tastycake Cherry Pie.
Cake snack: Peanut Butter Tastykakes (nuke for 15 seconds)
Frozen Burger Patties (when I'm not making my own): Sam's Club burgers.

I know I'm going to think of many more but I'm in a rush and that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm On A Boat. Andy Samberg And T-Pain. Boat Excitement.

This Andy Samberg video just cracks me up. But ....it is pretty exciting to be on a boat and all. Then you stop, reflect and realize that maybe that this video wasn't intended to be funny.

Maybe I'm just confused. You know......because I'm excited about being on a boat and everything.

Blogger Header Contest. Twitter. Sam Raimi. MTV Movie.

Here are a few things to go over:

- The winner of the TBY header contest is Mr Condescending. Thanks! Look how great my new header looks.

- There were eight other bloggers that sent header designs and it was tough to narrow it down to one. If you'd like to share your design, put it on your blog on Wednesday and I'll write a post with links. If you don't want to show it I'll still give you a link.

- Go see the Sam Raimi movie Drag Me To Hell. It's great fun. Seriously, don't be a big baby. Go see it. Boo!

- I'm totally obsessed with Twitter now. It's great to have a place to write all the weird stuff I think about all day. Click on my sidebar to join Twitter. Give it about a week and I think you'll love it. But I really have to stop reading the Tweets while driving. I can't help myself I tells ya...

- Why do I watch the MTV Movie Awards every year? What a fucking joke.

Comedians of Comedy, Zach Galifianakis on Physical Comedy.

How much fun did these guys have on the Comedians of Comedy Tour? A lot.

Rock and Roll High School. The Ramones. School Fire.

The TBY Friday Send Off Song is one day late because lightening knocked out my Verizon yesterday. My house was the only one effected...and affected.

(shakes fist at sky) "This better not be a sign Lord"

So the dedication this week goes to Miss Alex from Fonzie Sox that wrote this great post about me yesterday. I'll bet you anything she loves this Ramones song Rock and Roll High School because she's from New York and she's a rock and roll chick.

And I also want to give a shout out to Sybil Law and Debbie from the blog Suburban Sanity for leaving comments this week. Thanks.

Does anyone remember seeing this when it came out?

Blogger Breaks Down and Sends Photo To Hot Blogger. Dream Fulfilled.

When I'm sitting on my mighty jewel encrusted, red velvet throne and looking through Facebook I rarely chat with people.

Nothing against my Facebook friends, it's just that the arms of the throne are intentionally very large (for intimidation purposes) and there's not a lot of elbow room for typing. I need to get that fixed. I guess regular chairs sometimes aren't good enough for me.

But last night I saw Miss Alex from the blog Fonzie Sox was online and I decided to chat with her. What a delight. And did I mention she's super cool and hot? And she's into most of the same pop culture stuff that I'm into? Yup.

She's been asking for a picture of me for almost a year. She finally broke me down. It was a picture I had on my computer with me and a bunch of chicks I met one night. And in her words, she said I was smoking hot. Did I mention she was drinking?

To hear what she had to say, click here and follow up observations here.

Land of the Lost. MASH. Dick Van Dyke. Munsters. ALF.

Here's are various TV thoughts:

- I hated that Adam Lambert on American idol because he was trying too hard to look cool but he was on NPR yesterday and he sounded really great.

- I've never seen an entire episode of that Urkel show.

- Josie and the Pussy Cats (the cartoon) were hot.

- It pisses me off that they're making a Land of the Lost movie. The show was great because it was so cheesy. I know that they're using it just for the name but still. What's next? Sigmund and the Sea Monster?

- Bad casting: Loretta Swit in MASH. She was never hot.

- I used to love the Dick Van Dyke show when I was a kid. And I used to imitate the opening all the time for my sister.

- If I hear the theme to the Andy Griffith Show I'll be whistling it all day.

- I wonder if the Herman Munster character was intentionally played to sound gay? And why are the reruns never on?

- I don't care what you think, some of the things ALF would say cracked me up.

The end.

Want To Make Me A Blog Header? Contest Alert. Graphic Designers Needed.

I'm getting sick of my blog header. In case you're wondering, that's a picture of my deck and the racket is an electric tennis racket I use to kill wasps.

Anyways, I need a new header. Whenever I see great headers like on Avitable's blog or Whiskey Marie's blog (she changes it every few weeks) or Lilu's blog I get really jealous.

So how would YOU like to design my new header. If you want to, here's what to do:

- Design it and make sure it says "THAT BLUE YAK" clearly.

- Make sure that you save it in a format that's easy for me to open AND easy for me to put on my blog.

- And here's the great part - (talking like Ted Knight from Caddyshack): And why don't you just put "blog header designed by 'Your blog name here'" up there on the header too? hmmmm? Hmmmm? This way you'll get some advertising for your blog.

- I will leave the header up for at least two weeks! But I get kind of lazy so I may leave it up for months! Can you imagine?

- For the super lazy, just leave your header idea in the comments section. I encourage readers to steal the ideas and make them into a That Blue Yak noble creation.

And for the losers, you can post your losing header on your blog and I'll write a special post linking to it. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually use them all.

How about we say the deadline is Saturday (May 30) 5:00 PM - Eastern time. My email is in my profile. Just make sure to write "TBY header contest" in the subject line and the name of your blog in the subject.

And one more thing, make sure it's something that can be viewed by people at work. No naked people. I do have the right to say there are no winners you know. If you have any questions, ask me in the comments section.

And ready....go!

Mirror on People in Bathroom. College Nonsense and Fire. Dump.

I loved living in the dorms in college. To annoy people on my floor, if someone was in a bathroom stall, I'd say, "Get your mirrors. Someone's in the bathroom!"

We'd all grab mirrors, sneak in and quietly reach the mirrors around so we could see the person sitting on the toilet. The victim would look up and down and realize five people were looking at him. The shock on the person's face was always hysterical.

Then it got worse. We'd then have someone try and grab the guy's legs. We'd reach a broom over the top of the stall and hit him on the head. Dump water over the top. It just kept getting more and more ridiculous. So much so that people would go to another floor if when they had to take a dump.

I guess what made it so funny was that the person was so vulnerable. There's nothing you really can do to fight back.

Then, the tipping point happened when my friend Steve was in stall #4 and I lit a piece of paper on fire and threw it in the stall. I hear screaming, "What the hell?? WHAAA!!!"

It wasn't Steve's voice. It was some dude that I didn't really know that well. I did know he had a bad temper though. So I jump back out of the bathroom, into my room and slowly close my door. I left it open a crack and peared out. I'm nosey like that.

So who comes walking down the hall? Steve. Innocently walking to his room. The only thing that could have been better would have been if he were whistling. He had no idea that someone just had their eyebrows singed by a fireball. The dude comes barreling out of the bathroom, grabs Steve and yells, "What the hell are you doing???"

I'm not sure what happened next because I slowly shut my door. I didn't want to get caught I guess since I was recently told that in an RA meeting they said I should be watched because they thought I was "twisted".

Who me?

Weird Sylvania Commercial From Strange Land Creepy.

Here's the final video in TBY Creepy Video Weekend. I know the weekend is over but I wish it weren't.

It's a commercial for Sylvania. It was filmed in a strange, faraway land where it's normal to have picnics in cemeteries.

Seriously, what's up with the dude flying on that stick??

Memorial Day Food Thoughts. Chris Elliot Scary And Creepy. TBY

When you're about to bite into your burger, hot dog, chicken or steak today, I'd like you to close your eyes for a minute.

Once your eyes are closed, imagine that the food you are about to eat was prepared by this Chris Elliot character from Scary Movie.

Now open your eyes. Bon Appetit' with TBY creepy video #5.

Electric Boogaloo. 1980 Creepin'. Soul Train Dancing Brothers.

...I'm Dr Zibbs and I my Boogaloo specialty is puppet-tronics...

So how did this 1980 Soul Train Boogaloo video make it onto TBY Creepy Video Weekend? The first guy says that his style is "creepin'". At least I think that's what he said. Does anyone know "Seddy Williams"? ...The creepin' guy? Maybe we can get him to clairify.

And it looks like the fourth dude - the guy who specializes in puppetry is a bit embarrassed when he tells Don Cornelius his dancing specialty of puppetry. Be proud my friend. Be proud.



What's YOUR Boogaloo specialty?
