 | Greatest sucker punches caught on film
In no way does Off the Wall endorse the sucker punch. In fact, throughout the history of this humble piece of web content, we've been steadfastly opposed to the sucker punch. Maybe not in so many words, but internally at least. However, we're not completely against watching clips of sucker punches that happened to be caught on film, only to find a home on the Internet. It's not only enjoyable, but also necessary, if only so that we know what we're dealing with. | |
 | Master of the Internet
Every now and then, we come across something on the Internet that actually seems like it's a little too good to be on the Internet. This clip from Funny or Die, for instance, should be somehow collecting money every time someone watches it. It might be too short to show in a movie theatre, but maybe they could play them in some of those peep show booths in New York or Amsterdam. Master of the Internet is so good that I wouldn't feel ripped off had I paid $2-4 to see it. Strong words, I know. | |

There's no denying that Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse. I've been saying it for years to anyone who'd listen. But even I never considered going so far as to create an entire website dedicated to her horsiness, even registering the domain name sarahjessicaparkerlookslikeahorse.com. I'm pretty mean, but I'm not really so ambitious in my jokes. I'm happy somebody did it, though. | |
 | Brilliant business cards
If you really think about it, a business card should be as personal to you as your smile. It's something you're using to represent yourself in front of the rest of the world. In some cases, a person will see your card before they even meet you. Why shouldn't you go to great lengths to make your card as awesome as possible? Unfortunately, my card is the standard Rogers issue. It's mostly used to jot down shopping lists when I can't find a scrap of paper. | |
 | The Ampersand
There's not a shred of doubt in my mind that the ampersand is by far the most underrated punctuation out there. Instead of going to the trouble of typing out A-N-D (I won't even discuss the positively juvenile "+"), you can simply press the seven key while holding down shift. What could be easier? Finally, the ampersand has a home on the Internet where it can receive its rightful glory. I love you, ampersand. | |
