Street Magic

I've decided that this post isn't going to be about science, but something realer than quantum physics and, god forbid, math. Ew. So instead of nerds and their convoluted explanations of the cosmos, I'll treat ya to some magic.

So..without further ado. David Blain's Street magic.



He's so amazing.



Those two should really move to another state, but David's Christ-like powers would find them anywhere in the universe. He's that good.



See? Even the law can't stop David from performing his spectacular feats of presdig....prestedigi....magic.

That's all for now. hehe

End O' Year Randomness

Whew!!

I thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for his guidance through another disgusting and disappointing x-mas. Growing up in America has made me jaded and bitter towards the ghastly consumerist nature that became of x-mas. But enough of that....


Now we have 2008 to look forward too and I hope it gets better. But from jugding the way 2007 turned out, the future isn't lookin' so bright. Cracked.com has a great article/list that summed up my contempt for the year that was 2007......

Ok. Now that my half-assed rant about that is over, here's something completely different. A couple of vids from Collegehumor.com...which apparently are too big for my blog, (I dunno how to edit html) so here's the youtube equivalent.

Hardest Game Ever


Asshole Mario Stage 1


I think after the first 5 deaths my controller would be sticking out of a smoldering hole in my tv. Oh those wacky Japanese and their Mario World hacks. Obviously the work of someone with too much time on his hands.

Chocolate Bunny


Hauntingly beautiful. One of my fav vids of the last few months. Strictly from an sadistic art-nerd point of view. hehe

Strandbeest


Strange engineering/art project. I'm not sure if there's any practical use for it but it sure is cool.

I think I'll end this post with a movie trailer from Bizarro World.....

Scary Mary


Tune in tomorrow, it's Science Day! YAY! Hey...where you going? Come back!! Science is cool you bastards!!!

Shitdisco

While I was wandering around today clicking on links relevant to my interests, I came across an article of the worse band names of 2007. Seems everyone and their mother has a list of some kind at the end of every year and this year is no freakin' different. Anyway, most of these bands did have pretty awful names. Like, The Asbestos Tampons, SuperHeavyGoatAss, Butt Stomach, Gay Baby, and Dance Me Pregnant. Just reading these names gave me the irresistable urge to paste, whoever came up with these names, in the face with a barbwire bat. Then do the same to their dear old grannies. How dare they spawn the mothers of retards.

I do have to admit that a couple of names were kinda cool, Those Fucking Unicorns and The Rape Ape, but I'm pretty sure their "music" is very terrible and an affront to God itself. And while I was reading the insightful comments from the lowest rung of dregs the internet has to offer, each one claiming that one of these shitty bands is awsome and will forever change the face of music for years to come. Then one of them suggested that the band Shitdisco shouldn't be on the list, claiming their video was cool enough to warrant removal from said awful band name list.

Now, Shitdisco is a pretty awful name, but the name intrigued me enough to search for any of their music videos on youtube.

So here it is....Shitdisco: OK



Pop-up book puppetry and a cool little tune you can dance to. Despite their name, I was a little surprised by how well they can play their instruments.

And since this post is about things named after fecal matter here's a clip from Tim & Eric Awsome Show

The Poop Tube

Zero Punctuation: Guitar Hero 3

Here's a funny game review for GH3: Legends of Rock. It pretty much sums up the way I feel about the game. Without the gay innuendo.



Guitar Hero 3 is a fun game, I'm happy they included songs that I always wanted to play, like, One by Metallica. But, it just isn't as fun as GH2. All because Raining Blood, by Slayer, on hard difficulty, is nigh impossible and I hate Activision for it.

Breaking Movie News: The Machine Girl

When I saw this today, I just had to make another post about it. Yep two posts in one day. Let's all hope it never happens again.



Hot Damn! I had a nerdgasm watching this trailer. That makes me want to see this movie above anything else that's coming out next year. I need a clean pair of pants.

Brawndo The Thirst Mutilator

Anyone who is a regular patron of Youtube will remember this video....



Then there was the follow up to the sack-smashing original....



God created the Heavens and the Earth. He created the animals big and small. He also created men and women all within a week. With help from the space & time altering effects that is Powerthirst. Just look it up in the bible. It's there...in the back somewhere.

Now there's Brawndo.....



This stuff will actually be for sale!

I want to be invisible and win at yelling......
THAT WOULD BE FUCKING AWSOME!!!

It's a Star Wars Christmas. OH, GOD WHY!?!?

I never got to experience the god-forsaken joy that was the Star Wars Christmas Special when it aired. Only hearing and reading about how bad it was with only a scant few images of a still young Mark Hamill not haunted by one of his only great roles (besides voicing The Joker in the Batman cartoons) and the terrible wookie costumes straight out of my nightmares.

Thanks to Star Wars completist nerds for bootlegging it and youtube, I found a video that highlights the entire special...



George Lucas has said that he hates this special and would rather delete every bootlegged copy out of existence. With extreme prejudice and I have to agree with him on this. It is pretty damn awful and I'm the type of person that likes to watch awful crap.(thanks MST3K) Even I don't think I could've survived 2 whole hours without throwing my tv out the window or tearing out my eyes with a rusty spoon.

But I think I know who is to blame for this affront to the Star Wars gods. Carrie Fisher. I just know she was the supplier of all the cocain that was consumed on set. Just look at her in those movies. She's coked out of her freakin' mind. And I'm sure that ol' Georgie wanted to be popular with the cool kids. How else do you explain those ewoks specials? Three words: Columbian nose candy.
