Be separated from Kevin Bacon by only one degree with this nifty t-shirt from NoStar Clothing:
$24 is kind of pricey though. Alternative solution: Buy bacon, fry bacon, tape bacon to grey t-shirt. Remember to eat bacon before washing.
Last night, I saw “Walking with Dinosaurs: The Live Experience.”
Life-sized free-moving animatronic dinosaurs.
Oh man . . . it kicked ten flavors of Jurassic robot as$!!
Here’s the video I made:
Two years ago, The Sneeze posted what may be the worst rendition of “O Holy Night” ever. In fact, this may be the the worst rendition of anything, ever. This song makes Baby Jesus cry.
Follow these directions:
•Turn the volume up as loud as it will go.
•Play this song.
•Halfway through the song, be prepared to pee a little bit; expect minor bleeding from the eardrums.
On an ascending scale of painful noises:
1 - car alarm
2 - mating humpback whales
3 - Minnie Riperton’s “Lovin’ You”
4 - German Shepherd kicked in the crotch
5 - crying sick infant
6 - cat in heat
7 - Vietnamese pop music
8 - crying sick infant being beaten with a cat in heat
9 - Chinese opera
10 - this song

I made a gingerbread house today - “War of the Worlds” was the theme.
Happy Holidays!
The Martian War Machine:
•A Moon Pie
•Black licorice
•Coat hanger wire
•Black Ju-Ju Bees
•Purple frosting
•Death Ray - Photoshop
This movie poster appeared in a local theater yesterday.
IT’S COMING!! OhMyGod OhMyGod OhMyGod!!!
Only 149 days left until the 4th Indiana Jones movie (May 22nd):
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
I’m getting such a geek chub-on about this: I’m getting the t-shirt and wearing it every day until it rots off my body and I’m wallpapering my home with the movie poster and I’m going to dress up as a Star Wars character (probably Yoda) and wait in line for 3 days for the first showing.
It’s that time of year when magazines and TV shows offer their lists of “What to get that man in your life (age 20-40).” Most of these lists aren’t made by men age 20-40 (who started the stupid rumor that we would ever want silky boxer shorts?). On behalf of men age 20-40, here is a fail-safe list of what to get that man in your life:
Military Grade Duct Tape - Duct tape is the ultimate fix-all - required in space missions. The only thing cooler than duct tape is military grade duct tape (bonus points if you can get it in olive drab).
Big Lebowski T-Shirts - There are countless to chose from, but here are a few of my favored picks:
•The stylish ‘This Aggression Will Not Stand’ shirt.
•The ‘El Duderino’ shirt.
•And for the real hardcore, the ‘Karu Betto’ baseball shirt (it’s Jeff Bridge’s actual shirt, which he wore in “The Big Lebowski,” “The Fisher King,” and “Tron”).
The Fisher ‘Space Pen’ - The Fisher Space Pen writes underwater and writes upside-down. How could you not want this?
The Victorinox Swiss Army Money Clip - It’s a moneyclip and a knife!. Overstock.com has a cool deal: a Space Pen and a Swiss Army Money Clip.
Kung-Fu Books - Because secretly every guy wants to learn Kung-Fu:
•‘Kung Fu: History, Philosophy, and Technique’
•‘The Art of Shaolin Kung-Fu’
•‘Kung Fu Elements’
Sean Dockray’s ‘Ameising Project’ - tracking the pheromone trails left by ants. Check the video.
Then again, maybe your day’s not that bad.
Have a happy holiday season, hopefully with some time outside the office.
You’ve seen a LOLCat; you’ve seen a LOLebowski; but these pale in comparison to the new new king of the Internet, the almost mythical “LOLTapir“. If you don’t know what a Tapir is, check out the wikipedia page.
For more LOLTapirs, check out the full gallery– most of the images are safe for work, but there a few images that lean toward the ‘explicit’ end of the spectrum, so be warned. Nothing too gross though.
Pharming - The act of illicitly redirecting a website’s traffic to another bogus website.
Phishing - Attempting to acquire sensitive personal information through email communications by impostering as a trusted business or institution.
Phideo - Profitting from video sales and rentals by impostering as a known movie; like phishing, phideos prey upon the drunk and the elderly.
I Am Ωmega (2007) - Like I Am Legend (2007), but less of a rip-off of The Ωmega Man (1971).
Transmorphers (2007) - Like Transformers (2007), but dyslexic.
Alien vs. Hunter (2007) - Like Alien vs. Predator (2004), except filmed in a park and they could only afford one alien costume because they spent all their money on the acting wizardry of Michelle Pfeiffer’s sister.
“The Newlywed Game” (1977):
Bob Eubanks: “Where specifically is the weirdest place that you personally, girls, have ever gotten the urge to ‘make whoopee’?”
Contestant (Olga): “Umm . . . the as$?”
A proud moment for Olga’s family:
Technically . . . “the as$” is a place.
From the nation that brought you vending machines that sell schoolgirls’ underwear comes the perfect marriage of flash games, Victorian era fashion, slapfighting, and good old-fashioned misogyny.

A few weeks back, we featured the efforts of the UC Berkeley marching band recreating a Nintendo halftime show, and while very good, they could learn a thing or two from the Koreans, in this spectacularly coordinated stadium performance:
(SteveB was too lazy to post this, but good find!)
Spectacular Hi-Def video of the Earth rising above the Moon’s horizon. Recently taken by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (NAXA) lunar probe “SELENE/Kaguya”, launched September 14, 2007 and currently in orbit around the Moon.

Jorn Barger’s ‘Timeline of Knowledge Representation‘
This is impressive. A timeline of the recording of information, even by biological means.
Take a moment to browse through this.
Having grown-up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was overly confident: I only scored 55%.
That means nearly half the Folsom Street Parade went by unnoticed.
Play the Bonus Round [these are oldskool]:
Gay or Eurotrash?
Lesbian or German?
P.S. - While searching for images for this, I came across what may be the most demented portrayal of Scooby Doo’s Daphne and Velma [NSFW but disturbingly interesting].
