Lego Zombies

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

I love the idea of corrupting the vanilla Danish world of Lego. DYZPlastic offers a stellar line of Lego zombies.

Monthly Mashup Vol. 4 - Beautiful Soulja Girlz

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

This month, I combined the South’s hottest new dance track “Crank That Soulja Boy” by the aptly named ‘Soulja Boy’ with Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” & The Shop Boyz’ “Party Like a Rockstar.” Enjoy!

Mini-Britney vs. New Mini-Britney

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”
Thank God.
The L.A. Times reports that there is a “new Mini-Britney” Vegas stage act, replacing a previous inferior (”mini-but-less-Britney“) stage act. Oh good . . . I was worried about that previous one.
Oops, you did it again Vegas.

The Public Has Spoken…

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

…and an asterisk it is!

After over 10,000,000 votes, 47% of the voting public felt that Barry Bonds’ record breaking home run ball should be sent to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but not before it is permanently branded with an asterisk, marking the controversy that has surrounded Bonds’ pursuit of Hank Aaron and baseball’s all-time home run record.

Video of Marc Ecko, the man who bought the ball at auction and let the public decide what would be done with it, revealing the results on the Today Show can be seen here (scroll to the bottom).  Interesting to note from the video, the Hall of Fame is extremely happy to get the ball, regardless of whether or not it has a brand, and Barry Bonds, when told about Ecko’s plan, called Ecko a “stupid idiot.”  Classic!

Halo 3 Prelaunch Party

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

When?: September 24th, 2007
Where?: The Microsoft Hall of Doom, Silicon Valley
What?: The HALO 3 Prelaunch Party
Who?: Blogadilla “reporter in the field” - James
Why?: ’cause it’s cool.

Here’s James’ report:
“This last Monday evening, I was lucky enough to be invited by Microsoft to the longest commercial I’ve ever been privileged to partake in. The interesting thing about it being that everyone there was already going to buy the damn product they were hocking. I speak of course of Halo 3, that dastardly game that has taken over the airwaves (as well as the inter-tubes) for a few weeks now, and is at this very moment hogging precious time on beautiful HD TVs the world over.

I attended a pre-launch party for this game-of-games, and it was an… interesting experience. First let me say that after having looked at some coverage of other pre-launches around the world, this one kinda sucked. There was some delicious food, and even more delicious beer (thank you Tide house, even though your bartender did try to sell me on it. Why the hell would I ask for an Ironwood if I don’t already like it?), but none of the huge excitement of the others. Sorry for the bad quality photos, my phone was having a bad day; please bear with me. Here (A) is what it looked like when I walked up. (click to enlarge)

This line carried a few dozen back, and took about 5 minutes or so to get through. Obviously we’re not talking the standard late-teen to college crowd, but rather the Silicon Valley tech geeks we all know and love.

Gummy Anatomy

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

It’s the end of September and stores are already flooded with Halloween candy. Of course.

I bought the “Gummy Body Parts” assortment.

The pressing question is: What gummy body part is this?

It looks naughty. Let’s pretend it’s an ear.

Twins

Monday, September 24th, 2007

My older sister is gigantically pregnant with twins and is currently in the hospital (they are on their way in the next couple of days). Last week, Garry (a.k.a. “Dirty Taco”) and I did a bodypainting photoshoot with her and her unborn. Here are some of the results - painted by yours truly and photographed by Garry.



All our best to the parents to be, Heather and Adam.

Someone in Japan Really Loves Eggs

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Play the Egg Song. You could torture prisoners of war with this stuff.


PES

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

I commend anyone who has the patience to make stop-action films. PES offers a nice collection of his very own - I recommend “Kaboom!”, “Game Over”, and “Human Skateboard”.

Resident Evil: Extinction

The cast of Thriller
versus Milla Jovovich.
And Milla kicks ass.

Undead zombie crows.
And tons of exploding heads.
Great family film.

Oh crap, what have I done?!

Lost In Translation

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

This is too juvenile to not post on Blogadilla.

A friend recently returned from her jaunt to Tokyo where she picked up a pack of Camel’s from a vending machine.

Nutty Menthol

With the Japanese/English translation being so incredibly difficult it makes you wonder what languages Americans butcher on our own exports.

Barry Bonds’ 756th Home Run Ball…What To Do?

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Given all of the steroid controversy leading up to Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record, many people have considered putting an asterisk next to Bonds’ stats in the record books, and some even go as far to say that Bonds should not be recognized as the record-holder, because he cheated.

Fashion designer and entrepreneur Marc Ecko, however, has decided to add a democratic element to the decision as to what should be done with the ball, recently purchasing the record-breaking home run ball at auction for more than $750,000, and then setting up Vote756.com. On Ecko’s site, you have 3 options to choose from: 1) send the ball to Cooperstown as is, 2) brand an asterisk on the ball and send it to the Hall of Fame, or 3) strap the ball to a rocketship and send it ball into deep space– a “moonshot for the ages” as Ecko puts it.

You decide; click on the photo below to vote.

Stevie Wonder … Damn!

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Most people don’t know it, but Stevie Wonder plays more than just keyboards. Check out this awesome video of Stevie showing his harmonica skillz alongside an absolute legend– Toots Thielemans. It’s amazing to me how the two of them can communicate so well via music alone…

He also just goes off on drums here, but I don’t want to clutter the frontpage with video. Enjoy!

SexyBack

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Ok, what I was really searching for was a montage of all the 4th wall breaking smirks and eyebrow raising shots from The Office set to some funny ghetto fabulous 50 Cent song, etc (…someone must have spent hours and hours doing something completely useless like that right)?

But, this is just as funny…

Mark your calendars.

September 19: Talk Like A Pirate Day. That’s right around the corner. Mateys.

December 8: Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day. If you’re stumped, the Web site offers many helpful suggestions about how to carry this off:

  • Walk up to random people and say “WHAT YEAR IS THIS?” and when they tell you, get quiet and then say “Then there’s still time!” and run off.
  • If you go the “prisoner who’s escaped the future” try shaving your head [Contributor's note: This one would work really well for fellow Blogadiller timbotron] and putting a barcode on the back of your neck. Then stagger around and stare at the sky, as if you’ve never seen it before.
  • Take some trinket with you (it can be anything really), hand it to some stranger, along with a phone number and say “In thirty years dial this number. You’ll know what to do after that.” Then slip away. 

I can hardly wait to see who actually observes these…holidays.

Bacon products of the week

Friday, September 14th, 2007

Ewww?!

Vodka, and bacon = the bacontini!

I think a better way might just be to use this bacon salt on the rim of a martini glass, then fill it with vodka! I’ll let you know how it goes…

Guns Don’t Kill People, Chuck Norris Kills People

Friday, September 14th, 2007

I know this may be stale for many of you, but it is still funny as hell: Chuck Norris Facts.

“The chief export of Chuck Norris is Pain.”

•”There is no theory of evolution, just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.”

•”There is no chin under Chuck Norris’ beard. There is only another fist.”

•”When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.”

Usable web generator?

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Lots of fun generators on the web. But this one may actually be useful?

Well probably not, but heck FU in barcode just looks cool!

Picture of the week…

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Picnic prep? I can only hope he has a napkin on the rear rack! Fruit/Pringles/Water

Perhaps not in that order?
