clarence the puppet visits harlem

wondershowzen making friends through puppetry! from one of them-there comedy shows called wonder showzen created by augenblick studios, we get to visit harlem NY with clarence the puppet to find out ‘what makes people mad’. blue bug-eyed puppets, for starters. and what makes people open up and tell their innermost racist feelings to a puppet anyway? crazy.

curveball

curveball it’s friday - the end of the week! perhaps you have an important deadline to finish. well, i say how important can that deadline be if you can’t stop playing curveball? not that important. besides, this game doesn’t start gettin’ good until level 4 or 5. it’s time to rock on someone else’s dime. play it.

skewed intelligence as basis for war

ironically, this post is not about fake iraq intelligence. does anyone remember the unprovoked attack that led us into vietnam? the gulf of tonkin incident? this was what led to the escalation of U.S. involvement in vietnam - it became the gulf of tonkin resolution and was the basis for the war. a lot of people came out and said that incident and what took place was fabricated. of course, like anyone else who disagreed with the vietnam war, those people were called liars, traitors, communists, and enemy sympathisers. so now with the secret papers on the episode in vietname finally released, it does turn out that the gulf of tonkin intelligence was deliberately skewed (that means faked). and the second attack in the gulf of tonkin never occurred. this post could very easily be about iraq as the lies about the two are so similar. what is it with presidents hailing from texas who feel the need to fabricate lies and deceive the american public about going to war? and how can you trust authority, much less respect it, if it openly lies to you for it’s own greedy, selfish, short term interests?

mini-eye telescope

visioncare IMT this is very cool! not quite a bionic eye, but still amazing. it’s called the Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT) and it is intended to be a permanent solution for vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration. the IMT is built by VisionCare and is currently in phase II/III clinical trials. in honor of this rad invention, i’ve posted the opening credit theme music and closing credit theme music to the six million dollar man tv show. awe-shum!

find the dildo in this picture

50 cent dildo this is crazy. all the money 50 cent made playing that bat-mitzvah has gone to his head. in a heartfelt effort, 50 cent has decided he wants to give something back to the community - in the form of a waterproof dildo. oh, and sex toys. no, really. from an interview with GQ magazine …

 

I need to make a 50 Cent condom, and a motorized version of me. A motorized version of me will definitely have to be waterproof, so you could utilize it in the tub. A lot of them (vibrators) aren’t waterproof. Blue is my favorite color, so it would probably be blue. But I don’t know how big. I don’t know if big is better because I’m not sure a man wants his woman playing with a really big dildo.

wow. that is too good! i can just see the ads now, where 50 cent is singing ‘In Da Tub‘ instead of ‘In Da Club.’ or ‘Magic Stick.’ this redefinition of selling out is pretty awesome. but hey - he’s a brand. might as well be a blue dildo too. make that money. filing this under general and art. andy kaufman would be proud.

pandemic-schmandemic

man, what good is worrying about some silly old avian-bird-flu-post-apocolyptic-mad-max-global-pandemic-disease anyway if my ass if too fat to get needle into?

60 second trip

60 second  trip fun with rods & cones! it’s cheap (free) and simple and fast. please enjoy the 60 second trip (as in trip out, dude). i did this lil’ eye bender a second time and then immediately tried to eat a bowl of cereal (emphasis on the word ‘tried’). dooo it!

tiny tango two-seater

tango tango tango tango this is the tiniest car i have ever seen. it’s called the tango and it seats two (as in 2-to-tango). neat! it’s made by commuter cars. the tango is just 5 feet tall, 39 inches wide, and 8.5 feet long - allowing it to park perpendicular to the curb. it’s also all electric, can go from 0-60 in 4 seconds, and on a full charge has a travel range of about 70 miles. perfect for city driving.

steven seagal sings for you

in case you’ve been on a roll lately of listening to really good music, i’d like to put a stop to that. please immerse your once beautiful & untainted ears in the musical stylings of steven seagal. yup. that steven seagal. from his album ’songs from the crystal cave’. or was it fart cave? i can’t remember. they are listed as mp3s on the site, but in his crazy-aikido ways, they are actually real player files. soo crafty!
