FORE!

Who knew golf was this much fun?

Hold my beer . . .

. . . Imma try sumthin'

.

Back to work today . . .

It's no secret that I travel and after seeing this I think that Russia has moved up a few pegs on my list of places to visit . . . and I might be ready for another trip by the end of the day.

.

Speaking of visiting, if you're ever in Las Vegas do go check out the Las Vegas Gun Range and Firearm Center; I spent the $50 to blast two clips through a Tommy gun and brothers and sisters let me tell you it was so not worth money and worth every penny at the same time. Let's put it this way, when I was done I very nearly pulled out my wallet and peeled out another $50 to do it all over again . . . and if I go back to Vegas again I'd go back there in a heart beat.

.

Since we're talking guns, maybe you've already seen this, but how's about this video of a bunch of different guys firing off a .577 rifle. Trust me it's worth the watch.

.

Did you ever wonder what would happen if you could combine someone with OCD and a crazy cat lady into one? Well wonder no longer, because I have for you here the answer.

.

And here's a burning question that needs answering. Please Jebus tell me that wasn't real.

.

Oh and before I go, check this out and let me know if it looks like a zombie to you, because it sure does to me.

.

PS - I need.

Back to Back Entries

Ahhh the viral video . . . you know them you send them, people send them to you the whole world watches them, but who has time to watch them all? If you're unlike me and too busy to waste vast amounts of your time in such trivial pursuits then have I got the answer for you, a sweet compilation of the greatest of the viral videos.

.

I think I love Boxxy although there is something mighty appealing about Buffy the Cookie Monster Slayer. I guess it's safe to say that I still carry that torch for comic book girls . . . speaking of I nearly had geek love over load the other week when watching an episode of What's New Scooby Doo when Daphne was dressed up as Catwoman at a comic convention on the show. Mui Caliente.

.

Ever get your iPod earbuds all tangled up and not know how to get them untangled? Well have I got the video for you, after watching this you'll know how to untangle your headphones using just a simple cat. It appears to work but I can promise I'm not going to give it a go myself.

.

Since I'm already helping you out here, do you ever have to buy someone a gift but you're either too lazy or uncreative or don't care enough to pick the gift yourself? Well here's the solution for you, just have a vague idea of what your giftee is like, make a few clicks and the internet will come up with some suggestions for you. Ah the internetz is there nothing that it can't do?

.

While we're talking about the things the interwebs can do for you, how's about taking a look at seven crimes that will get you a smaller fine than file sharing. I know stealing is wrong, even if it electronic intellectual property and not a physical item but that seems more than a little off (provided the information is accurate of course and that's one of the beauty things about the internet it's constantly updated with the most up to date accurate cutting edge and the most up to date completely wrong and made up information going - that's why I love the Uncyclopedia) and perhaps law makers need to take a step back and re-evaluate things a little.

.

Ah well that's her for now, until next time.

Someone really likes tug of war

Oh you know I totally submitted this link to Awkward Boners.

.

Here's to you gets overly excited while wearing track pants to a charity event constable guy.

And to you I leave a boot to the head . . .

LA LA!

.

If you're Canadian and you liked off kilter sketch comedy troupes no doubt you have fond memories of watching and/or listening to The Frantics (remember CBC's Four on the Floor with the Frantics? I know I do) . . . well you're in luck as The Frantics are back together and are celebrating their 30th anniversary (counting their 15 year break from each other). Here's the article that brought this to my attention.

.

I can only hope that this will convince Rick Green that he needs to restart Commander Rick Prisoner of Gravity stat. Man I miss that show . . . it's the show that introduced me to Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Maus and so much more great comic/sci-fi/fantasy literature . . . and made me want to live in a space station with a super computer and sweet arm chair . . . well I'm part way there aren't I?

.

Oh and if you're trying shop for that hard to buy for geek check these out. Pretty cool eh? I don't think I've seen a cooler USB thumb drive since the Lego Brick thumb drive mod.

.

But enough of the geekery for the moment, how's a nice PSA about the do's and don'ts of designing a corporate logo. Yeah I thought you'd like that . . . and now I bet you're trying to re-work your company's logo to incorporate a wang or two in it.

.

Well now I'm off to have my own freak portaging accident in Algonquin Provincial Park. Until next time.

Don't Call It a Come Back . . .

. . . I was here all along . . . so where have I been? What have been up to?

.

Well why don't you mind your own business for once, nosey.

One thing that hasn't helped is that I've been without a home computer for a while after my vintage two stroke dino powered machine made the decision to by a new computer for m by completely crapping out a few weeks ago. But we're back in action now . . . and I've got a lot of work to do and catch up on, but I'm up early and Scooby Doo isn't on Teletoon or Teletoon Retro yet so permit me to entertain you.

.

Unfortunately fans (okay maybe that's an exageration, fan) I've lost a lot of what I was saving to put up on here but we gotta start somewhere right?

.

So how's about starting with a little bit of epic fail and the 50 Best Protest Signs of 2009? Sure you've seen some before, but they're still funny aren't they.

.

Here's a little more fail for you this morning. Remember kids if you're goign to re-enact Tom Cruise's infamous old time rock n roll scene from Risky Business, wear socks don't grease the floor . . . but if you do grease the floor put the video on YouTube and share the link please and thank you.

.

Well it's time for Scooby Doo, I'm outta here. Until next time . . . whenever that might be.

'Cause I had no idea it was this awesome!

Another Quality Thunder Bay Sign

.

Me, I'm just wondering how long that was up before it was taken down . . . and how long the person who made the keen editing changes had been waiting to use this one.

.

And it totally blows Bastard Muff out of the water, don't you think?

I don't know about you but it made me smile.

What's the best part of a long weekend?

The short week that follows.

.

Yeah so I made it through the Easter weekend, which I'm lucky enough to have four days off for, how'd you fair? It might be a little late, but here's an interesting list of ten things you didn't know about Easter from Time. But where's Eostre?

.

In keeping with the season, here's a list of 7 things from pop culture that apparently piss Jesus off. And no I don't think they mean that dude from Old Mexico who takes care of your lawn.

.

Keeping with the religious theme, dare you look into the flaming pit of hell? It's horrible and not appropriate for work. But don't say I didn't warn you.

.

Now I just have to wonder, where do you get that done, and how do you start that conversation with the guy on the other side of the counter?

.

If you still watch Saturday Night Live you might have already seen this sketch the other weekend, but if you are still watching SNL, I have to ask is it worth it? Before Tina Fey left if I was watching I'd flip over to NBC around 11 (that's central time) knowing that weekend update was going to be on shortly after that, then stop watching after that. After Tina Fey left, I stopped watching . . . but then funny thing, I've never watched a single episode of her new show 30 Rock. Go figure.

.

You know I think it's true, cats don't care.

.

Thanks to this sweet gear now any kid can blow up the Death Star. Combine that stuff with your Taun Taun sleeping bag and you'll the coolest kid camping out on the sidewalk waiting to get into the next Star Wars Celebration (that's celebration, not convention, apparently they're touchy about that shit) to hear Billy Dee Williams ramble aimlessly/incoherently about waist versus full length capes and whether or not Colt 45 really works every time. Well okay maybe not the coolest kid, but you'll be cooler than these people, that I can promise.

.

Maybe you'd be better off with this Death Star on your camp out, if times get tough you can always eat it before feasting on the tender well marbled flesh of your compatriots.

.

You know, I'm a fan of concerts, I loves me some live music . . . I have to say that one thing I've never done is crowd surf, doubt I ever will, but I've pass people along and thrown people up on top of the crowd, but I don't know if any of those experiences top these. I don't know about you, but this one is a personal favourite.

.

And I will sign off today with something that does my heart good to see. Enjoy.

.

Until next time.

A Quick Joke

A blonde goes into the cleaners & drops off a blouse to be dry-cleaned.

.

As she's leaving, the man behind the counter says, 'Come again.'

.

The blonde stops and says, 'No, it's mustard this time.'

Monday monday

Hmmm once again I find myself listening to Iced Earth and wondering what to talk about this morning, so it's likely going to be all over the map again . . . so let's start out with a bit of a point to make . . . the local paper is often thin on stuff to put in it, I mean it's not every week that you can slip in an advert thinly disguised as an article for a local merchant (BTW where's the story about the new candy store in town?) but the March 25 edition went into great detail with an almost daily breakdown of the local OPP detachment's call out stats for the March Break week.

.

Normally the paper won't print anything controversial or negative about the town, but if you were passing through or just happened to pick up a paper and look at it, you would think that was run of the mill and only contribute to the sometimes ill informed perception that many have of this town, but this week they chose to do something a little different I suppose. I just think it's looks bad for the town and the residents of the town, or maybe this is going to be a regularly weekly section in the paper, but I've got my doubts. It was probably a one off because the local OPP detachment sent the paper a press release with the information in it.

.

But that's just me, what do I know . . . well okay maybe don't answer that right now.

.

And for something a little less serious, here's a collection of the most embarrassing photos from last year. The picture of you passed out on the toilet is strangely absent.

.

If you're here you've got a computer and odds are it's a PC, so here's an article with some fast fixes for common PC problems . . . but remember the first to try is always rebooting the computer. Don't ask why, just do.

.

Ever wonder what the Mona Lisa would look like if she were painted by other artists, well wonder no longer, here it is.

.

While we're on the topic of art, how's about a sweet video showing 500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art. The music it's set to is Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, performed by Yo-Yo Ma.

.

Everybody who's cool likes comics, and you're here so you must be cool, therefore you too like comics . . . so you're in luck because here's a collection of the 50 greatest WTF moments in comics. BTW here's a definition of WTF in case you aren't in the know.

.

It's no secret that I loves me some cover tunes, so here's a nice collection of some of the oddest on the net. But if you're into covers and think the ring-a-ding-ding lounge lizard rat pack vibe is where it's at check out one Mr. Richard Cheese, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

.

And I will sign off with is possibly the best warning sign ever.

.

Until next time.

Loud & Clear Good Buddy, Loud & Clear

This about sums it up

One more time

Yeah been slacking about putting stuff up here again . . . I guess I've been busier more important things? Yeah I hate to say it, but sometimes it happens. No matter I'm back here today, and after all it's quality, not quantity, right? So let's have at it . . . since it is March Break and I'm not heading down to South Padre Island or anything like that.

.

This video came highly recommended, and all I have to say is what is that kid on and where can I get some?

.

I'm sure I've mentioned here before that the film Hellraiser is being redone, and this time with input from Clive Barker, the man who wrote the novella that the film was based on. So hopefully it will have more of the original story in it than what the first film did, although that movie was pretty cool, which probably had a lot to do with Doug Bradley's portrayal of Pinhead.

.

Speaking of here's a first look at the new Pinhead for the new film . . . different but the similar. I won't pass judgement until I see it in context.

.

From the current quasi-celebrity news file, or obits page I guess, former WWe wrestler Test aka Andrew Martin died just recently, you can read more about it here, but there isn't much info out there yet. But let's see . . . pro wrestler, early 30's, dead in apartment . . . I'm going with the classic heart attack from steroid and coke use that is oh so prevalent amongst his profession.

.

One of the better parts of a great book was when Roddy Piper made dedicated the book to all the guys he used to work with who weren't there anymore, and listed them and there was a lot, maybe more than you'd think. You'd think these guys would figure this shit out, but I guess the ride is good enough that you don't complain about it being short.

.

In music news infamous Norwegian Black Metal icon, former Burzum front man and church burner Varg Vikernes is being released from prison after serving his term for the murder of Mayhem guitarist Øystein Aarseth aka Euronymous. If you're interested you can read more about it here. Several years ago I met someone who had spoken with Varg on the phone from prison and what should come as no surprise is that he's very charismatic. Welcome back to society Varg, try to be good this go around, eh?

.

If you'd like to learn more about the Black Metal scene I'd recommend you read Lords of Chaos, it's a really good read, a little grim at times, but worthwhile.

.

And I'll sign off with another must see movie, Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. Take a look at that title and the website and tell me it's not screaming win.

.

And now for some real news . . . check out this article and this one with photos of a suicide bomb blast going off in Sri Lanka outside a mosque while people were celebrating Mawlid, the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed. Be warned the pictures although they are frames from a video are pretty grim, and I don't mean the caught the aftermath of the explosion, they got the bomb going off.

.

So was it worth the wait? It better have been. Until next time.
