> [@Superhal](#): > > Almost all episodes of South Park are online: [http://www.southparkstudios.com/](http://www.southparkstudios.com/) This is a godsend! Also, I have to report the weirdest thing. I had recently read somewhere here that someone recommended the Facebook episode of South Park. So when I went to the site I considered trying to search for it, but decided that was too much effort for the moment so I just clicked “watch a random episode” Guess what episode it was. Yup. ---

That’s funny. I never watch YouTube- my computer has no sound and it’s usually too much bother to find someone willing to lend me theirs- but I was convinced to watch one a few hours ago. I’m still laughing at it. It’s political, so you might not want to see it. But it’s a funny coincidence. ---

This requires a bit of set-up. There’s this community of people on youtube called Let’s Players. What they do is play a video game and film it, while running commentary. Ideally, they’re supposed to be a cross between walkthrough and stand-up commentary. Practically…well, it’s about what you’d expect from a bunch of guys filming themselves playing video games. Anyway, a couple of other dudes decided to film the bad LPs and make mocking commentary, in an MST style. And those are funny, sometimes, although sometimes they’re just as boring as the source material. But [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13UXd1xhEo) had me falling out of my chair. ---

It’s not video, but it might pass the time. Try [jigzone.com](http://jigzone.com) - it’s an online jigsaw puzzle, with hundreds of images, and dozens of different patterns or cuts of pieces, from about 6 pieces that your dog could put together, to (I think) about 250 pieces, that’ll take easily 30 minutes. That’s GOTTA be a better way to pass the time than watching reruns of The Brady Bunch, isn’t it? ---
