11 Minutes of Perfection

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

An unbelievable display; this guy beats Super Mario Brothers 3 in 11 minutes, getting more than the maximum number of 1ups possible. All I can say is Diz-namn!

(If you’re not instantly impressed, skip ahead to the 2:09 mark.)

Dong Dong Mao

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I have no idea what “Dong Dong Mao” means, but you know it’s going to be good when the description says:

“桃花朵朵开 peach blossom one after another.”

My personal hypothesis: this is a Chinese boy-band audition tape.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Dynamite, Sponge, Monkey

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

“Rock, Paper, Scissors” (also called “Ro-Sham-Bo”) gets interesting when you add a few more variables:

Rock beats Scissors
Scissors cuts-up Sponge
Sponge soaks Dynamite
Dynamite explodes Monkey
Monkey flings poop at Man
Man disproves Alien
Alien vaporizes Rock

His Name Is Tyler Durden Garfield

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

The moment you realize that Garfield isn’t real is the moment you know that (his owner) John is psychotic and bipolar .

Garfield Minus Garfield – The real John.

My Big Fat Geek Wedding

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Of the weddings I’ve attended, the theme was always “Wedding.”

But more and more, weddings are having themes. All too much like children’s birthday parties. The idea of a “Star Wars” wedding is nothing new, though it’s astounding to realize the sheer number of “Star Wars” weddings out there. I hope George Lucas feels like a dick about this.


Apparently, the bride and groom make movie props and costumes (so no Star-Warsy detail was left untouched): photo gallery and slideshow.





The bride and groom were married by Darth Vader, the groomsmen were Stormtroopers: video





The bride dressed as a bride, the groom came as Boba Fett: video





The groom came as Darth Vader, the bride came as Natalie Portman: video





Bonus Humiliation Round: The bride has a Hello Kitty shaped box on her nightstand. In it are her husband’s testicles. Life is hard enough when your English name is “Horlick”: video

No Country for Good Endings (Part II)

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Last week, Blogadilla co-author Allison and I did our share of bitching about the lack of an ending to the Coen Brothers’ hit movie “No Country for Old Men”.

To clarify: It is possible to have an ending without having “follow-through.” And this lack of “follow-through” is cinematic coitus interruptus. It is cruel and lame.

To illustrate our point: Here is a knock-knock joke I hope to someday tell writers/directors Joel and Ethan Coen:

Me: “Knock-knock!”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “Who’s there?”

Me: “Orange.”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “Orange who?”

Me: “. . .”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “Orange who!?!”

Me: “. . .”

Joel and Ethan Coen: “ORANGE WHO!?!”

Me: “Tommy Lee Jones had a dream about his dad. F#ck you!”
