Fun Friday Finds- Turtle Calls & Teach Me How to Dobby

I spent last weekend in St. Louis with a friend. I guess I mentioned last Friday that I had been over there, but that was for work. The weekend was time for me to relax and hang out with friends that live in the area.

Back in the day, people would relax by sitting around, chatting, maybe playing cards or something. In this day and age, we sit around, chat, and find awesome things on the internet. Yes, I will be sharing some of those today. These may be very strange to you, or really nerdy… that’s ok. I think that they are all funny, and it really matters most that I’m amused, right?

Turtle Calls. Yes, you read it right, turtle calls. You can pay this guy to call someone you know and act like a turtle. Intrigued? You should be! He is America’s Turtle Call Leader. You may be wondering, do you consider a turtlecall a prank call? Don’t worry, they have answered this question one the website: “no, it is a friendship call and it is meant to make a smile happen and not an aggravated face” In fact, I think the holidays are a perfect time of year for you to send a turtlecall and show them you care!
Not interested in turtle calls? That’s ok because this website will also do CheadleCalls. What’s a Cheadlecall you ask? Well I think the website definition is the best way to explain a cheadlecall. “A cheadlecall is a special turtlecall where I will call and pretend to be a turtle pretending to be don cheadle, who is a famous actor in American movies like hotel Rwanda.” I know you are intrigued after reading that. The good news: he records all his turtlecalls and cheadlecalls for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

You know the dance craze, The Dougie, but this is even better. For those Harry Potter Fans out there, you will love this video:  Teach Me How to Dobby! Favorite line: Butter beer so you know this is lastin’ all night!

For some die hard fanst of Harry Potter, the Teach Me How to Dobby video may no have completely filled your HP fix for the day. Don’t worry, here’s a funny little video for you to know more about the houses. WhichHouse Are You? I always feel so sorry for the Hufflepuffs.
Hope these links can give you some entertainment over the holidays!

Fun Friday Finds- Puns, World's Largest Disco & Surfing Alpaca

I've been in St. Louis this week and I've realized there is much more to offer in this city than just the Arch. One of the places we went was the City Museum. Pretty awesome. If you are ever in St. Louis and you want to take a break from looking for Nelly, check it out.
I will always talk about Marcel the Shell whenever I get a chance. It was nice to see a little interview with his creators. I love that it's such a simple concept but so entertaining. Can't wait to see Marcel the Shell with Shoes on in a book or tv show!
I think I'm pretty funny. The problem with that is that no one else thinks I'm that funny. I'm ok with that though. I mean, as long as I make myself giggle, that's all that matters, right? One of my favorite things: puns. This website collects a bunch of very punny things and I get to read them. Talk about wonderful.
Have you ever wondered who would attend the World's Largest Disco? What? You didn't even know there was such a thing? Well, there is: https://www.worldslargestdisco.com/ and David Cassidy was a special guest. Pretty groovy!
We've all seen videos of a dog surfing or a squirrel water skiing, but have you seen an Alpaca surfing? Now you have! My main question: where did they find a wetsuit for the Alpaca?
