Relationship Charts

I love charts

And I love awkwardness

When these two things can meet, I'm 100% contented

well, maybe not 100%. Let's say 98%. That other 2% is easily covered by pizza or beer or bossoms.

but I digress

I need to implement this at work, today!!

Nice Hooter(s)

Damn, I've been working on this scent for years, all for nothing now....

Just heard the new "monster track" from Forever by Drake ft Kanye, Lil' Wayne & Eminem. It's a hot song, no lie, but the line that spoke to me and my current mood about hiphop the most was when Kanye said:

"I used to want this shit forever// you can have it back"

Then I move on to a short article about how people weren't hyped by the three Jay-Z/Timbaland tracks that came out yesterday.

I don't know about you, but I'm going to go listen to "Death of Autotune" and "I Used to Love Her" back-to-back over and over again.

When's the last time you had to do this??


ah... the good old days.

This kid reminds me

of the years I spent in love with hiphop, and how I used to drive my teachers nuts by beatboxing during tests.


A Hard Day's Night of the Living Dead

Just some good zombie fun to start your weekend.

Enjoy.


Another Reason I should know her

In case you were curious, this is how I still feel about cyclops.

If we learned anything from Iran, it's this:

building of the year

for more awesome buildings, check the link

now go out there and make it happen

Use Less > Useless

Think your car's compact?

Check out this pic of 42 Brompton Folding Bikes.

Virtually erases parking lots, eh?

Not to mention smog.


















On a side note, I got a compliment on my Infinity MPG shirt today. Woot!

A rather small difference totally changes my perception

If it was a rose under glass in this picture, I'd think this was an awesome homage to my favorite children's book ever, The Little Prince. (anyone who hasn't read this book at least once is doing themselves a dis-service).

However, since it's a regular plant, this gives me terrifying idea that someone thinks it'd be a GOOD IDEA to take species of plants native to earth to other planets when we colonize. Not sure if you're familiar with the concept of alien species, but here's a quick rundown: They fuck shit up! You know why Hawaii and other islands like that were so great and wonderous? They were isolated. Today, however, they are all having problems because of foreign species introduced by immigrants and travelers. Even Australia had to erect a continent-wide fence to keep out English Rabbits that were destroying crops. Now someone thinks this will be helpful to do to the Moon or Mars or Tatooine?

C'mon people!


Holy Fuck I need this NOW!!!

Arctic Monkeys, what have you done to me?

I suppose this was coming some day, I'd just hoped it'd be farther down the line.

Officially, the Artctic Monkeys still rock. More than most other bands. The problems is, their new album out this week doesn't really sound like them, or like Britain. It reminds me of when the Beatles stopped rocking and started meditating.

Stream the full album for yourself here

instead of sending this to the people that I know need to see it, I thought I'd be less naggy and post it here

still, it's very serious.


This creates more questions than it answers




Is it just genuine emotion/regret, still being expressed 15 years after he died?
Are they trying to say "sorry, we're out"?
Did they just have extra ink and not know what to make with it?
Lately I've been thinking that I want to get a tattoo someday.

I'm the only one in my family sans tattoos and piercings, and haven't given into an whim because I sorta enjoy the idea of not fitting in with that trend.

Lately, however, I've seen some really awesome tattoos and it's gotten my thinking.

I tried to get Anie on board with this idea, but so far she's not game for it.

follow-up to Monday's blog

Has an advertisment ever spoken to me more directly?

Rob Dyrdek's other cousin

he wasn't tween-friendly enough for MTV


actually he kinda also looks like my friend Danny Sherman from the 5th grade.

either way, I wonder if they would know more about his "tasty" if he wasn't rocking a bowl haircut under that cap.

Amazing portraits



from Chris Floyd:

Nerd-Cool: Don't fit in

Newsflash: Nobody "fits in". We all fake it.
Nerds, stop feeling ostracized and learn to celebrate it.
Square Peg: Round Hole :: Your Place : Society
So you can lament everything, or you can be like the guy on Apollo 13 that figured out how to make it work.

Damn I Wish I still had my GameCube Mario bobble-head

the one on the right

even after Lilly broke his nose and I had to have it fixed and repainted

he still rocked.

Tricky Hats; You Have Been CONQUERED!!!!

Who else wants in on this?

now that Monday morning is here and probably sucks, let's head back to bed and give it an reboot, eh?

No Owls involved, but still awesome

Two Things I Love

Letterman and a re-hottie-fied Brittney in a bikini.

True Quote from a blog I read

"Details aside, I believe more people should name their children Engelbert Humperdinck these days. Sure beats the heck out of Apple, Destry, Honor or Pilot Inspektor."

from Inside the Loop.

Do this now, and you'll laugh

everyone needs to go to this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chickenbone/2125243181/sizes/o/in/set-72157594286653785/


then go to Project Playlist and launch the song to go with it.


Good times will be had
anyone else think this chick is enjoying this in entirely the wrong way??

it successfully made me feel dirty already this morning.

sorta funny

nothing like tongue-in-cheek

(though I'm really not sure I'd want my tongue in her cheek anymore. sorta a step-up from winehouse, no?)

More Life Skills

How do you make this?

seriously!

about the only thing I can origami is "wad of paper"

and sometimes "roughly basketball shaped wad of paper"

The GF: sounds like you're not full; sounds like you've still got room for a knuckle sandwich.

Me: is it made of jello?

The GF: nope, it's made of knuckles, a sandwich made of knuckles.

Me: nope, no room for that

The GF: bread, knuckles, bread

Nerd-Cool: Flow Charts

Tell me this isn't a wickedly cool use of organizational planning.

Nerd-Cool: Shout-out

Today's Nerd-Cool is a simple shout-out to all the hot chicks that aren't ashamed of being smart. Thank-you, doll.

Like, remember the time Rachel Leigh Cook went from this....














to this....

















Awesome, I know, right? And in the end, didn't have to dumb herself down, just loosen-up and revel in it.

Honestly, there's nothing sexier to me than smart, complicated brunettes.

By the way, has anyone else seen how smokin' hot Felicia Day is in "Date My Avatar"? Really, she writes & directs her own web-series, can sing and act, and now she comes out looking hotter than ever, just in time to join Dollhouse? I'm practically defenseless against this.

Wow, this is TOO proper to not feature

Slow Day??

work not keeping you entertained? Never fear. Take a look at some cupcakes I wish I was eating:


so i don't buy into the post-humous hype about Michael Jackson

but I have always been a Mos Def fan, and I'm a sucka for any well executed cover.





plus if you watch his left hand, Mos still knows where his towel is. Don't Panic.

This could be useful to you someday

Life Skills here folks. Learn 'em.


Always Sunny is back in a month

Here's a Greenman Fail for you to enjoy

Random Strip

(comic strip, you smut-head. get with it)

I have no idea what's supposed to be going on here, but the randomness is funny to me.

My favorite green-eyed Baysider dissed Fallon and paints a phallic symbol

I call that a double-win.

Banksy Tat = Sweet

too bad this only looks half-way like the Banksy

had to go buy Vol 2 of The Walking Dead on my lunch break at work today.

I tried right now to find what may be one of the most awesome single pages in all Graphic Novels, but couldn't locate it yet. Let's just say it involves a 7 year-old wasting a zombie at close range.

so for now I just settled on the cover of Vol 1 as a place holder.

Guess what?

Scarlett Johansson can actually sing. Not only that, I'd wager she's 10-100x better than most songs I've heard in Anie's home/car this year.

Don't believe me? click the link


(Yes, I ment you Perry-Gaga-Spears-Allen.)
So I recently posted about how I dislike Conan and the Tonight Show, and am happy to see Letterman winning the ratings, but even I didn't see this coming.

Last Week
- Letterman had 2.95 million viewers.
- Conan had 2.94 million viewers.
- Conan had all new shows.
- Letterman was ALL re-runs.

That's right, more people would rather watch old Dave shows, including interviews with star's whose movies have already come out months ago, than they would watch brand-new hopefully-resurgent Conan.

Poor Conan, you might actually be bad enough to make all the Irish go back.
How many dirty looks and slaps to the face would I get wearing this shirt?

Hitchcock + Lucas

Mildly Funny

this is more entertaining to me because of my very close relationship with someone who loves horrible horrible reality tele. Wake up, we don't want to lose you.

OMFG! The Walking Dead is amazing. The last part of Vol 1 is nuts. Eddie @ AABC was right.

Interesting

....but she's still got a booooty in both pics, so I'm game.

No cholera, but an eagle did steal 2 of my kids. Odd.
Finally got to Oregon. Via the trail, of course.
