Retarded on beer or actually retarded? You make the call.

Vader Being a Smartass

Darth Vader proves once again that he is the dark lord of the force of comedic prowess. So fucking funny. Vader's got no time for the haters.


One Inch Punch Documentary

Mondays suck, so watch this video and use the powers of visualization to make your day brighter. Imagine yourself one inch punching the faces of every person in your office. There, don't you feel better?

"How to" list mega list

185-revenge_of_the_nerds-01-fk

One of my favorite sites of the moment is Look At This. They have a list of how to's that is truly staggering. Tons of crap I always wanted to know about and alot I didn't want to know are on this list. I'm proud to say that now I know how to fake my fingerprints, start a meth lab, build a tardis, do algebra in my head, and yodel. Now if there was only some some way to combine those powers. I'd be a godamend wrecking machine!

3 Dev Adam: Turkish Spiderman

A few months back I got to watch this with a few friends out in Seattle, and I didn't remember alot of the details. But this clip brought it all back.

Imagine Spiderman. Now instead of being a hero, try to imagine him as a ruthless killer. Add giant eyebrows, Mexican Lucha-god Santo, and Captain America. What do you get? The best fucking movie ever, that's what.

What impresses me the most about Turkish cinema is the blatant copyright infringement. Unlike the great Turkish Star Wars, This movie violates three characters that someone owns the rights to, and for some reason that makes me three times as happy watching it.

You have to watch this now. If he wasn't still alive, Stan Lee would be spinning in his grave.



Top 10 Obscure Sports

team0qq

I am a huge fan of off-the-beaten-path sporting events. Some people like the baseball and football, I'd say i'm more of a Lucha Libre/dead eel tossing kind of guy. Frankly, unless there are wicked fights or unexpected acts of god in a game, traditional sports usually bore the shit out of me.

YesButNoButYes have put together a list of the world's most obscure sports, and some are definetely awesome. I'd slap a cobra to get some video of the Unicycle Hockey World Championships. Check out the list HERE.

Picture Of The Day

For shame, Jean Luc. For shame.

Swedish Chef TV

bork

When I was a kid, I used to love all things Jim Henson. I would go nuts for the "yep yep " aliens on Sesame Street. But nothing made me crazier than the Swedish Chef.

I don't know why, I just love the guy. He doesn't speak a lick of English, spends his time trying to kill chickens, and has eyebrows like Abe Vigoda. What's not to love.

Check out Swedish Chef TV..you can watch several episodes of the chef at work streaming...God bless the interwebs.

Back to the Future Revisited

Haven't you always wished you could watch the end parts of Back to the Future 1 and 2 where both Marty McFlys are in the 1950's at the same time WITHOUT setting up 2 tv's and being labelled a freak by your friends and neighbors? Well my friend, it's your lucky day.


Japan's underground photography

You watch Japanese animation and you assume that the creators must have extreme imaginations or at least access to copious amounts of under-the-counter pschycotropics. Looking at these pictures I can see that maybe Japan is just a trippy fucking place to be. Some of this shit is straight out of Akira...

Scooter Merry Go-Round

Some jackass tries to spin a ghetto merry-go-round with a scooter wheel. The results are painful, hillarious, and educational. Think Macgyver meets Corky.



Peter Jones's Monkeys

Uk artist Peter Jones loves monkeys as much as I do. He probably loves them more, seeing as his amazing paintings dedicated to them are far more impressive than my ugly orange blog. Whatever, it's the thought that counts, right?

Peter says "Monkeys know how to be funny and provocative, how to amuse and entertain with their sparkling wit and that famous monkey magic. They are honest, imaginative, motivated individuals, and can easily sympathise with other animals so even the most shy creatures open up to them."

You know, if you replace the word "Monkeys" with the word "I", you are pretty much looking at my cover lettter. No wonder I'm unemployed.

Picture Of The Day

I want this on a t-shirt more than I want Airwolf back on the air.

Hiroshi Ishiguro's Doppleganger

Geminoid2

This just in: Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro cloned himself. The robot is named Geminoid HI-1, and it talks and acts like a person. According to Wired, "Ishiguro, whose job is teaching at Osaka University, an hour's drive away, designed Geminoid so he could "robot in" to his classes and skip the commute."

Ishiguro is known as part of the team that designed the uber-creepy "Actroid" android receptionists. My question is this: What music is it listening to?

Geminoid3

My guess: Kraftwerk.
