Muahahahahaha I always love this thread.
Dino Run:
http://pixeljam.com/dinorun/
RUN, DINO, RUN! T________T Pretty straight-forward, the world is ending and poor dinosaur has to runrunrunrun if he wants to survive. Now you can name your dino! That just makes it all the more depressing when you fail and he dies. :c
Defend Your Castle:

Mmmm, stick figure bloodshed. There are stick figures trying to invade your castle, and you must fling them into the air to make them splat on the ground. <3
Tone Matrix:

Endless, endless entertainment. You click the little boxes and it plays a tone. You click more boxes and you make music. It's pretty awesome.

Returning WriMos from my good ML years may remember being introduced to the sheer awesome that is the British car show "Top Gear". This year, I would like to introduce one and all to the British quiz show, "QI".
Who has caused the most environmental damage in history? QI can tell you:

Note, the above link nearly contains a curse word [it's mostly bleeped], and the adorable Alan Davies is only there in voice because he was teleported away at the beginning of the episode. Just roll with it.
What rhymes with purple?

This clip has the added advantage of letting you see exactly how awesome Alan Davies is [he's the one that keeps trying to guess].
A bird that can moonwalk [no, seriously]:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAySycTIau0
If you don't laugh at that clip, I will be highly surprised.
And it appears I saved the attempts to kill the Hilux, so for all your who weren't inducted before, I give you "Top Gear" trying to murder a vehicle on purpose [they've managed to do it on accident loads of times].
Part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrk6vsb77xk&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=793C...
Part two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uc4Ksz3nHM&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=793C...
Part three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfZDtC9kjVk&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=793C...
And what else is in my favorites?

I'm a facebook addict. So my procrastination stations are: Farm Town, Farmville, Yoville, Mafia Wars, Poker, Blackjack, Brain Bone, Trivia, Pieces of Flair, looking at everyone's pictures, etc etc etc.
