It's common this time of year for bloggers to write some kind of "year in review" post, usually highlighting their most popular posts of the year. In that spirit, I present to you the most popular posts (by number of comments) from 2011 here at The Cliffs of Insanity.

Here's hoping for an even better 2012!

Gloria In Excelsis Deo

Sunday School Question

The Sunday school teacher asked her class, "Class, do you know who walked on water, healed the blind, and fed five thousand people with just 5 loaves and 2 fish?"

The quiet boy in the back raised his hand and answered,

"I know the answer must be Jesus, but it sure sounds like Tim Tebow to me!"

This joke was made up and told to me by my friend and co-worker, Ron Mol and his son, Scott.

Pretty sweet

Tonight we babysat for a couple from Oklahoma. This is the second time we've babysat for them, and somehow tonight we ended up on the topic of guns & hunting. Justin said he had one particular gun that he really liked that he used for hunting hogs in OK with a friend of his (who happens to be a U.S. Marine). I asked if I could see it, and he was happy to oblige. It looked a lot (thought not exactly) like this:

It's called an AR-10. I'm sure my Marine/Air National Guard brother will be unimpressed, but it was one of the coolest things I've ever held with my own hands.

That's all.

"What in the name of me is going on in here?"

When I was in college someone pointed me to some short videos made by the website Vintage21.com. I guess they were originally put together for use in a church youth group. There are 4 different videos, and the creators have dubbed their own dialogue over footage from an old Jesus movie. They're hilarious.

This video contains all 4 of the Vintage21 originals back-to-back. Enjoy!

Some humor

For some reason, as soon as I saw this I could hear Jase laughing really hard at it. So, Jase, do you find it funny?

And there's SO much I love about this news story. Don't mess with U.S. Marines.

Schwarzenegger

This is a video of some of Arnold Schwarzenegger's  DVD commentary from his movie Total Recall. I don't know if this was the first (only?) time he's ever been asked to provide commentary for his movies, but it's absolutely hilarious. He simply describes what's going on the whole time. And his accent just makes it even more amusing to listen to.

Viewer's Warning: there's a brief bit of female nudity at about 2:21, and a fairly grotesque (though obviously fake) image of a guy's eyes bulging out of his head around 3:55.





It makes me want to ask Rob Reiner if I can do the commentary for The Princess Bride DVD and just say things like, "...this is a wonderful scene, it's where the man in black is trying to climb the Cliffs of Insanity and Inigo offers to help but the man in black doesn't know whether or not to trust him. And this is when he decides to trust Inigo and gets pulled up to the top."

My Shower Routine

This is about as accurate a comic as I've ever seen.
