Nihilist chewing gum

  • A shirt for anyone who owns an R2 unit and could really use a manual. Like, for example, this droid apparently retroactively had rockets and could fly and shit. Why do they no longer work now that I'm in Episode IV and how do I order replacement parts for those bits?
  • Nihilist Chewing Gum. It has no flavor. I love it.
  • A how-to for making a black ribbon Halloween wreath. Nice. Found via Craftzine.
  • Here's a hoodie for everyone's favorite wish-there-were-more-issues-of-it Global Frequency. Scott sent this to me, but I guarantee I would look dumb as hell in a hoodie. So damn.

    BlessedWatch: Brian and the Bums of Doom

    This bit from the show Fun at the Funeral Parlour shows us two things: one, that you can stick Brian and his schtick in any scenario and it works. Two: that the world would be a much better place if you could summon Brian Blessed by the mention of his name.

    NSFW because of naked male bummage.

    Weird Al Yankovic and friend

    I have no idea what the hell is happening in this video. And neither, I'm fairly certain, does Al. But he's working it, whatever it is.

    Direct link for the feedreaders.

    Were those sumo dancers doing part of the Thriller dance? And did it turn into a David Cronenberg movie at the end?

    Anyway, happy birthday, Mr. Yankovic. You rock, sir.

    Make Your Own Soft Drink (Can)!

    Boot to the Head: THE COLA

    For those wondering, this drink has 200mg of caffeine, no high fructose corn syrup but only real sugar, guarana, yerba mate, horny goat weed in a proprietary blend known as "Slapping You Any Harder And Your Mum Would Feel ItTM." And with your help--one day I will actually have a huge media empire and I will make this drink a reality.

    In the meantime, you can go make your own here. Got a good one? Upload it someplace and stick a link in the comments. Make sure you list your ingredients.

    Do your own here--from the same people who brought you the cassette tape generator. Found via Neatorama.

    Update: Crap...well, it's apparently too popular and has been wreaking havoc on their webserver. Keep checking. Problems of abundance can usually be solved.

    This Just In: Monogrammed Coffee Beans

    Tonx laser-etched coffee beans

    Now, granted, when Tonx posted this, it was done as a one-off because he's cool enough to know people who own lasers. Nobody on staff here is able to (admit that they) own a laser after a...shall we say...recent injunction that Siege, Doc and Thespia have been advised by our lawyer not to discuss. Except that it would have made Chris Knight chortle mightily. Anyway, Tonx got his buddy to laser-etch "Tonx" onto some green coffee beans.

    So I don't think there's anybody who provides this service. Hey, don't look at me like that. Personalized slash monogrammed coffee beans? You know somebody would pay for that lunacy. Tonx, I say unto you: you and your friends at Espresso Parts need to go into business. There you go: free idea.

    Found at Boing Boing Gadgets.

    Update: Add a number in the lower right and it's COFFEE BEAN SCRABBLE. Fuck-ing brilliant. And still free!

    New Frontiers In Kinky Science

    Today I read how Farley Katz, one of the authors of The New Yorker's Cartoon Lounge challenged Randall Munroe, creator of the webcomic XKCD to a Cartoon-Off. Each would draw a cartoon on four subjects (The Internet, as envisioned by the elderly, String Theory, 1999, Your favorite animal eating your favorite food). It was quite amusing but it was Munroe's entry for String Theory that caught my attention.

    Rox just sent this over. And there's really very little one can say about it. I'm just going to let the man speak for himself.

    Direct link for the feedreaders.

    This has been a public service announcement. Below the break, though, won't be.

    Found via Nothing To Do With Arbroath.

    I had no idea what Channel Bee was until I saw this. But anybody who can interview Brian while he's dressed as Captain Freaking Hook? That's nothing but win.

    Some NSFW language because he's Brian Blessed.

    Walt Disney is the Mystery Guest
    Posted on 10.14.08 by Widge @ 1:23 am
    Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.

    Mr. Walt Disney is the mystery guest on What's My Line? from the November 11, 1956 episode according to the original poster. Which means that the Mickey Mouse Club was a year old and Lady and the Tramp had come out the year before. Disneyland had just opened its doors in 1955 as well.

    There's also a Jerry Lewis pre-telethon call for donations against muscular dystrophy.

    Direct link for the feedreaders. Sent over by Ken.
