Inspired by Swabby

I'm pretty sure this is what would happen if a girl ever got "serious" about my frenemy Paul.

Capes & Skates

There's so much Fail going on here, it might somehow add up to a backwards win.

This is what @BEEingNE does


but without the suction cups*












* to be clear, she's the shooter, not the infant. she rarely cries when shot.

(that's what she said)

Say...

Remember that time Alica Braga swooped in and saved Will Smith and the rest of humanity in "I am Legend"? Well, turns out puppies dig her, too. Oh, yeah, I've got proof. Now what?

haven't been home

wish I was at SDCC, but spent a good weekend with the GF either way. Next year, though....

way to great your point across

These garments are being featured here because they are made from sustainable materials, veritable Green Chonies, if you will. Also, because ruffles are hot. They remind me of an old Maxim picture of Jessica Alba.

These ones are from Perfectly Imperfect (like all awesome women). Additional kudos go to Victoria's Secret, who I just learned uses 100% Fair Trade Organic Cotton in their thongs.

Save the planet and look damn hot while doing it!

Whoa!

No lie, this effing blew my mind.

Funny

This web comic is made by a dude that also works a U-Haul, in our Web Team. Pretty cool dude, never knew he was this funny til i read his comic. Here's a recent chuckle-inducer.

(it's called Able & Baker, btw)

Despite my usual love for net
Memes, I refuse to think either Keyboard Cat or Three Wolf Moon shirts are cool, and really /facepalm when I see "three keyboard cat moon" come to life. Talk about unholy.

Btw, still wishing I was at SDCC

Seems simple, but check out the scale on that thing.

I'd like to indicate these are both wrong...


...since there is a free urinal next to them.

I'd be so done for






This is what I call Going Huge

wow.

Great new work from Alexandros Vasmoulakis:

In case you were confused

this is where awesomeness comes from....

Well now...

it's technically cheating because she's laying down, but isn't this what all guys are really looking for?

Not a real Ad-Jack, but still true

Great Idea Stolen from my Mind


Thank-you Marvel, you've taken the idea I didn't even know I had. Seriously, Natalie Portman in "Thor"? (or is it the other way around... ha ha)

Awesome!

Just hope she keeps her hair this time. If so, Princess Amadala might make it back into my 5. Ivy League degree plus Sexy Star of a comic book movie = whoa.

Separate FYI:
"Thor" is one of a continuing slate of films being produced by Marvel Studios based on the Marvel characters, including "Iron Man 2" on May 7, 2010, "The First Avenger: Captain America" on July 22, 2011, and "The Avengers" on May 4, 2012.

Don't You Hate People Who Make It Hard to Get Drunk??

Me too

Two Questions

1.) How is your name "Pinto" and you're not, well, from Mexico?
2.) Why do you look more plastic than the props here?

Impressive that someone took the time to map this out

so, graphically, Wolverine seems to be the biggest player around. Grats, Logan. Too bad Hugh Jackman made you look uber-gay.

A Tactile expression of the Downward Spiral

Everyone knows that Detroit basically sucks. Trust me, I've been there. My family is from Toledo, about 30 minutes away. While Toledo looks like mid-century small-town getting bigger, Detroit is mid-century non-sensical city on overload and now everyone is moving out. To put a view on this, I came across this site: http://www.100abandonedhouses.com/ Take a look here and you'll realize the movies weren't exaggerating, this place is run down and run out. When people talk about New Orleans, it makes no sense to me after being through a place like this, why anyone would want to move back. Good Luck, Motor City.

Can someone please put some of these in my neighborhood?

From the streets of Toronto: more Guerilla Gardening. Make me laugh and think.




















Plantagon Verticle Farm. This would be sweet to see randomly down the street. Talk about a corner grocery, nothing could be straight from the farm to my stove in 10 min.

Greener Cities FTW!

I'll save you the long-form text, but if you're interested in reading more, here's some cool short articles about great ideas for greening-up our cities.

Just like the High Line in Brooklyn is a great park made from a dis-used railway, they've got a similar idea for Toronto, here: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/toronto-architect-proposes-greenwrapping-highway.php?dcitc=th_rss

















An article about how Removing Highways in four cases has resulted in great spaces AND better traffic-flow: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/remove-highways-to-fix-traffic.php

And finally a proposal about putting a park in the land where the Berlin Wall used to be: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/green-vision-for-place-with-grim-past.php?dcitc=th_rss

I know we already have Deck Park, but these ideas look sweet.
Hooray to @BEEingNE for saving orlando & I from the blazing heat and super-packed crowd at the light rail.
Save the Princess, Save the World; so I need a full-on fire-ballin' Mario-stash.
I was just challenged to a Mario-mustache-growing contest. Challenge Accepted.
FYI, today is 9 DTi; that's Days Til iPhone, ppl. Can't wait.

Your Night's aren't really Zombie-safe if you don't have this.

What's your score?

Dear NE,
Since, in the true style of Letters & Lists, my anniversary blog will be late, I thought I'd fill the void with this:

(why do so many of these seem to apply to you?)

Funk Yeah!!

Tell me this soundtrack doesn't get you in the mood for some random campy action and I'll know you're a dirty-faced liar.

Fittingly enough, I was channeling the inner funk earlier today when I told a co-worker, "I'm no Tom Selleck, but you can call me Magnum P.I."


This is how it feels...

and I don't even work at the help desk.


It's summer...

so where's my "Always Sunny"??

I REALLY have no clue what this sign means


is this a "no pulling out wedgies while wearing heels" sign?

Saturday, July 4, 2009

You Honoring the 4th correctly?

Have you read a single issue of Captain America today?
Yes, you could read The Avengers, The Ultimates and/or Civil War.
Better get started, huh?
Thought so.
You're welcome, you commie bastard.

flash back

no lie, I used to own this:


(the board, not the hardwood floors. we had shag carpeting growing up...)

Notice how this looks nothing like a real skateboard?

Maybe I WAS the next Tony Hawk when I was 5, I just got screwed by poor product development.

Great Levi's Ad

and not a bad reward for the dude at the end.

I want to live in a world where this is true

This may be the funniest thing I've ever seen from The Onion:

I can't f'ing lie

this movie DOES look like epic amounts of win. can't wait.


Oh man I always loved this bit

I still can't find the clip of Bush doing the Harlem Shuffle that I once saw on Late Show, but these clips are good, too.


I always new it.

DO YOU BELONG IN NYC?
Yes, but sometimes you wish there were a better option.

You do love New York, and you fit in here better than you have anywhere else. You're committed to the city, and you take advantage of all of its amazing food, culture, nightlife and arts. But you have nagging doubts about this relationship. Spend your whole life here? Not sure about that. Sometimes you wonder about that farm in your fantasies or even just a smaller city. But in reality, you know there's nowhere better. Click here for suggestions about how to really enjoy NYC.

Do you belong in New York City?

Early Apocalypse Warning Sign


Mass gatherings of otters. This can not be good.

Damn, I wish that these were reprintable























When I saw this on Agent_M, it totally reminded me of the cool posters I saw at the Realto Theatre in Tucson recently. I wish I could get full size ones to hang up in the office/music-central area of my apartment.

Damn, Tokyo

He only came here to rock your face in. Shit. Over-react much?

Which is Worse?

Sometimes desperate measures can be too desperate.
