Fun Sites

 

 Funniest Bear Video

Right click and select Save Target to download.

Left click to play video, but it will take a while to load!

This is the funniest bear video I've seen.  It's a large file and takes a little time to download, but it's worth it.    A  John West Red Salmon commercial is a 9MB file that requires a Quicktime player.)

Nurse Toons

Nursing Cartoons

Zippy the Pinhead

Yes, Zippy still lives.

Elf Bowling

Nstorm's games are small files that download quick.  Funny little games.  I suggest Elf Bowling and Elf Bowling 2.
