Got the Cubicle Blues? Stuck in a rut? Need some excitement in your life? Despite what Vince tells you the SlapChop will NOT help you eliminate boring tuna or a boring life, but you WILL love his nuts. I digress, anyways, I have found your answer! Forget about LOST and American Idol! Think Bigger and even more Radder! No, not the Internet’s Biggest High Five eventhough, that is pretty rad. Think YouTube Awesomeness!

One of the interweb’z YouTube Superstars, @shaycarl, has decided to commit to an epic YouTube vlogging journey that will test both his dedication to his loyal fanbase and his ability to create unique content on a daily basis. Yes, Mr. Shay Carl, as fate would have it, has decided to boldly go where few have ever gone before – daily vlogging!! <cue dramatic music – dun dun dun!>

I must say that this is one of my guilty pleasures. Watching the magnificent symphony that is the world of Shay Carl. Everybody needs a laugh and Shay always over-delivers.  A loving husband to his beautiful wife – kaitilette, super father to his three kids and dog owner to Malachi, Shay has the ability to bring humor to any audience and does so in his own quirky way. It’s just plain funny, contagious and genuine. This dude can strike up humor in any setting with any person. Sometimes people get it and sometimes they don’t. Either way it’s a great way to pass the hours in your cubicle.

Here is a typical video from the daily vlog. You will receive this video radness when you subscribe to the SHAYTARDS YOUTUBE CHANNEL:

Here’s one of my favorites, where Shay introduces Face Singing:


“Would you shut your mouth? I’m vlogging!! I’m sorry guys…” – Shay Carl in Date Night!

Here are some favorites from Shay Carl’s main YouTube channel – Shay Carl

Need an example of Shay’s genuine awesomeness?
Here’s one of my favorites, where Shay says goodbye to his Mullet:


“I wanna get this haircut I saw in a magazine…the way you cut it makes you look like you have Michael Phelps” abs.” – Shay Carl in Kill The Mullet

Need more radness?
Here’s another good one: I’m going to JAIL on V-Day!


“Oh this is my phone actually. No recordings? Can I still buy this box of chocolates. This box right here.” – Shay Carl in I’m going to JAIL on V-Day!

When night falls on October 31st, many of you know that the dead emerge from their graves, in search of brains. Should you find yourself in a graveyard on Halloween night, while driving a hearse, you will be glad that I shared this game with you – Zombies Hit And Run.

The object of the game is to drive your hearse through a series of graveyards, in the dead of night (pun intended) and run over all the zombies that stand in your way. As you drive through the graveyards you must collect a series of keys that allow you to exit each graveyard zone. The challenge comes into play as you have to avoid hitting the oncoming headstones that slow your hearse down and cause vehicle damage.

Guess what happens when you hearse stops due to vehicle damage…that’s right, you become dinner. I forgot to mention that there is lots of fog and driving rain, which definitely sets the mood. Today is October 31st. I guess you had better start practicing now before night falls upon us in a couple of hours.

Seriously, what could you possibly write about this. You just have to watch it. Those silly actors in Bollywood. Is it just me or does the Indian Michael Jackson have jaundice? Look at those yellow eyes…FAILTACULAR

With over 12 million hits, it has to be good…right?

What would you say, if I told you that you could control Halloween lights, inflatables, and other yard decorations located in Colorado from the comfort of your own computer? You would probably say, “No way! Yeah right.” Well, that was my exact reaction until I visited Alek’s Controllable Halloween Decorations for Celiac Disease at komar.org and discovered that not only was it possible, but it was loads of fun watching your results via a network of streaming webcams located on the property.f

Web Controls for the decorations – click on & off / inflate & deflate

During the Halloween and Christmas holidays, Alek Komarnitsky diligently installs his web-controllable decorations in order to raise awareness and donations for Celiac disease, providing hours of entertainment for those surfers on the web who religiously flock to his website to partake in the annual web festivities. His two sons, Dirk and Kyle Komarnitsky, have this disease which is noted for damaging the small intestine and interfering with the absorption of nutrients from food. People who have Celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley.

This web novelty is an amazing testament of a father’s love for his children. I both applaud and admire Mr. Komarnitsky for sharing this annual tradition with the internet and for raising awareness about Celiac disease. Give it a try during the month of October in celebration of the Halloween season and again in December in celebration of the Christmas hlidays. You will be glad that you did. If you find that you have enjoyed partaking in the Komarnitsky family web-controllable decorations, please donate to center for Celiac research.

Pumpkin Carving Tutorial:
The carved Jack-o-lantern, the most iconic Halloween decoration, has both delighted and frightened folks for many years. This most notable symbol of the Halloween season has certainly become more popular over the years with the advent of specialized tool kits and advanced pumpkin carving patterns. These new tools have enabled pumpkin carvers to produce stunning visuals, lighting up the night with images of cats, goblins, famous monsters, celebrities, politicians, and more. The standard pumpkin face seems to be taking a back seat to these newer designs, but definitely not forgotten – it’s a classic.

As the Jack-o-lantern becomes more sophisticated with each passing year, a growing number of pumpkin carving enthusiasts begin to join in on the festivities, motivated by friendly neighborhood competitions . However, creating these new-age pumpkin masterpieces is no easy task, that is why WILOTW has scoured the web for a tutorial on how to carve a pumpkin. Before you can create a Jack-o-lantern of a zombie or a scarecrow, you might want to try mastering some basic techniques. Give it a try below.

Nothing gets my adrenalin pumped more than a great haunted house attraction or thrill park. It has been a long standing tradition in my family, since I was a kid, to attend the haunted houses in the Houston area. Before the advent of the internet, I always used to listen intently to the local radio station for the haunted house advertisements and then plan my tour accordingly. Those were great times back then and even today.

Enter the internet. Today, the web is filled with local and national haunted house/attraction lists, guides, and even individual websites devoted to particular houses of horror, some of which are graphically stunning.
Below you will find links to the most comprehensive list of all haunted house attractions and thrill parks across the U.S.A.
