Wolf Daddy is an award-winning South Korean “anime” directed by Chang Hyung-yun.  Heart-warming and funny, this cute, 10-minute animated short tells the story of a wolf novelist whose life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of a six-year-old girl named Young Hee.

The film won the 2005 Korean Animation Award, the Tokyo International Anime Fair Award, as well as the 11th Annual Hiroshima Animation Festival Award.

Here it is, in the original Korean with English subtitles:

“Fridge Deer” – love it!

Thought these were pretty funny… 

The crew from Dust Films put together the following two 80s music video clips, featuring new lyrics that are a bit more relevant to the action:

A-ha, “Take On Me” 

 Tears For Fears, “Head Over Heels”

I can’t remember how I stumbled onto the site, but here it is:

“The Wolverine Daily”, by Gideon Boomer, featuring a brand new rendition of everyone’s favorite X-Man, Wolverine, on a sort of (not really) daily basis. 

Here are a few of my favorite, more recent Wolverine-inspired pieces of artwork:

Stuff like this brings a smile to my face.

Like many unsuspecting web users, I got “rickrolled” this past April Fools’.

 (I got this super-sweet Rick Astley icon for free from stockicons.com)

For those of you unfamiliar with this utterly ridiculous yet undeniably hilarious internet phenomenon, it goes something like this:

You’re surfing along, minding your own business, reading a comment somebody’s posted with a link that sounds interesting. 

You click on the link expecting to go to, say, some sweet new pics from the soon-to-be-released Iron Man movie,…

but instead you’re taken to a video clip of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up.” 

And there you have it.

Rickrolled.

It happens to me more often than I care to admit.  The silly thing is, I actually like the song.

(Bonus points if you can name the title to Rick Astley’s other hit song from the 80s… leave a comment.)

Oh, and here’s the actual link to stockicons.com.

I walk into the air-conditioned gym and hand my membership card over to The Cute Girl With The Nice Calves working the front desk. 

She smiles.  I smile back.  There’s a sale – 25% off – through Wednesday on cookie dough-flavored protein bars.

She waves my card through the scanner – beep! – everything checks out. 

She looks at me and says, “Enjoy your workout!”

“You too,” I reply (like an idiot) then pass through the turnstile.

Someone please tell me I am not the only person who does this.
