Something Shiny

What idiot does a home brew boil when it’s 80+ degrees outside. Oh, right, me.

Behold, stuff:

• Gogol Bordello – “Pala Tute”
• Because Drinking Wine From A Glass Is Way Classier Than Drinking From A Bottle [Wineglass] Nice, full bottle of wine in one glass, now if i could just get one with a cover, a neck strap, and a straw…
• Bad ideas from The Little Mermaid Yet another "lessons from Disney" distilled to the ridiculous essentials
• Amanda Palmer Performs The Popular Hits Of Radiohead On Her Magical Ukulele | Amanda Palmer
• Bizarro fiction: stupid and intelligent at the same time

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for more stuff (aka webpourri, aka junk).

Behold, stuff:

• Real Life Superheroes Gear Up With Ninja Throwing Stars, Ax Handles, ‘Stun Knuckles’ Think there was a similar article in City Pages a few years back about costumed vigilantes here in MN. I'm not sure whether to laugh or just hide out in the house until they all hurt themselves to death, or at least into submission. There are good reasons why becoming a cop is a little more difficult than just saying "yes please."
• Aqua Teen Hunger Force Master Shake Ceramic Cup — Adult Swim Shop Almost worth its own post…

Wondermark is a generally solid web comic, and the surprise ending is a bit of specialty (like M. Night Shyamalan, except entertaining). But this strip really steps it up, you must, must MUST, click the pic to follow through to the full strip. MUST!!!

Behold, stuff:

• Underexposed vs Overexposed Photos: Which is Worse? – Tested Interesting… usually they say, flash will ruin your pic, but given the choice of under or over exposed, looks like over exposed is the way to go. I'm sure it helps to know your camera though.
• Familiar Horror Movie Scenes Ruined by the New iPhone Other phones have been able to do any/all of the things listed, so it's not really iPhone specific, but fun none the less. Oh, but rest assured, the "no cell phone signal" cliche will prevail in horror movies for… well… ever.

It’s no Three Little Pigs, but Green Jelly’s The Bear Song has been on my mind lately and it happened to pop up on random from the Zune so I’ll post the video so all may enjoy it with me.

You ever have the experience where something is technically ha-ha funny, but you don’t actually laugh? It may well be a well crafted, clever joke; you may find yourself obliged to acknowledge it as such. But for some reason it doesn’t actually elicit the elusive LOL.

Here, let me show you what I’m talking about:

Behold, stuff:

• FHP: Driver lacked razor-sharp focus | KeysNews.com This is a good example of why I think legislation against specific stupidity (e.g. texting while driving) is… well… stupid. If you cause a crash because you're distracted be it due to texting or mowing the vijayjay, it ought to be the same consequence and covered by the same law without having to create a "no driving while mowing your vijayjay" law.

I’m pretty sure some of the hats are left over from:

Pfft… I think I just hosed up the latest wine kit. Crap. On the other hand, this nut brown ale made from a kit from Midwest Supplies is delicious.

I didn’t think Manimal was on long enough to warrant translation into any other languages, but here we are, Manimal in French. Skip to about 1:30 to see the amazing 80′s effects.
