I don't particularly like Anime, but this photo just seemed so bad-ass.

Life Lessons: In Case of Attack

how cool would it be if a got a drawing of the chemical compound for Gunpowder and had it tattooed on my bicep?  pretty cool is what I'm thinking.

I would totally own one of these, today.

Had one of those deeply explorative relationship convo's last night, and while today I feel drained and conflicted about my own life goals, I am happy to have a wonderful woman by my side who makes me happy to see her everytime.

This is the most accurate, self-fulling chart ever

I want to love Mad Men, but to me it's like a really long story of how Don Draper gets neutered.

Marshall was right, Velma never got enough play, and look, she's the last one standing.

Zombie Scooby is a flick I could get behind:

This movie would be so kick-ass to see.

Who can make this happen??

whoa!!!



Raindrop UX Design and Demo from Mozilla Messaging on Vimeo.

I just learned that I have a new follower who lists their occupation as "food researcher".  At first I thought, "this sounds like a job that's totally up my alley.  I love food and I love researching.  Whoa nelly, if they'd pay me to make a bar graph about pies and a pie graph about bars, I'd be in heaven!!"

Then I figured I'd temper my enthusiasm by thinking "if I became a food researcher I'd have to also become an exercise researcher."

As I typed this up, though, I'm thinking I could deal with that as long as they let me wear a white lab coat all the time.


Thanks, @eatSlow, for the introspection.

Greatest snappy comeback ever: "I'm a buffalo girl" "won't you come home tonight?". Comeback + Come on = win.

I love 30 Rock. "...and i will take the top half, for that is the part with the face"

Random truth from my DVR "even better than hot pizza? That's insane!"

One time when I was in high school I got really bored and decided to watch Golden Eye on shuffle. Learned that day that each chapter in that movie started with an explosion, and that I really didn't need to follow the ploy, just judge the velocity of explosion to tell what was going on.

I now have a new theory. I wager that if one could make their DVD player or pc shuffle 1-3 min increments of "Its Always Sunny", you'd have a show that looks very much the same and might enduce even more laughs. (to tell you the truth, I don't know if the writers for Always Sunny are comedic geniuses, idiot savants, or just using madlibs and are really good at improv...)

Here's an example:
Last week episode, Dee says "oh shit. There's stickers."
Episode 2 of this season, Charlie says "i eat stickers all the time!l

Totally different convo now!! I win.

Go home at try it yourself.

Once Again: $10 if you can answer all the many questions created by this picture

Whoa! OMFG! (and otherise: click here, check this out, etc)

Vivienne Long's "yoshimi" cover is so smooth and haunting and soulful it's beyond belief. I thought the Flaming Lips took down ideas from my head and made an awesome song out of all the mess, but Long REALLY came up with something here and the justification/redemption moral of the song is entirely different. If the Lips' version was michael Crichton, Long's is Hemmingway or Fitzgerald; an audio Kirusawa.

"oh yoshimi/ they don't believe me/ that you won't let those robots eat me...."

No matter the combination, me + her > against the world is a winning and universal theme. Thank-you.

who knows

Lately I am more and more equal parts thrilled and baffleingly frozen by my own thoughts of the future. Not "the future" as in 2012 or George Jettson or aliens with ray-guns and psychic powers. Those all seems like tangible threats that my inner caveman can face up to and beat down with a big enough stick. I mean the future as in, what the hell is going to happen to me over the next 40 years, and am I fixing it or fucking it up now.

I'd expect that someone who's been down the road I've traveled would already know what sign posts to look for, where it's safe to cross the river and where to find the best place to relax under the sun. Hell, after the false-starts I've endured, you'd think I might as well be a camp counselor for growing up, but if anything, it's made me more bat-shit confused about what's actually supposed to happen.

She wants to give me so much; sometimes when I think about it, it's unbeleivable that I could deserve all this.

Random quote from my DVR: "are you driving in your panties?"

Pretty sure I need to own this goomba

Steampunk + Shepard Fairey would look like this art from @skottieyoung

Ok, it's Monday morning, now go pick a career

What, you need help deciding what you should do with all these hours of your life that you're willing to trade away for US Dollars?  Ok, here's a quick one.

Pretty sure this needs to be part of my new zombie defense plan.

They have these everywhere in Canada, right?

whoa I need to own this

"What's the law about finding logs on the ground? You an expert in wood law?"

Change of plans, this needs to be my goal for the immediate future.

Bring It, folks!!

Just proof for my 12-year-old self that yes, sometimes this does happen.

a girl that would want to wear this would have me head over heels

ok, maybe not head over heels, but she'd have a healthy headstart.

I love Robots and Anie loves Pumpkins, why didn't we compromise on this???

Awesome Mario Art

Anyone else think Jillian from Biggest Loser is hot. I'm curious if I am physically attracted to her or if it's just because she's hilariously mean to people. Hate sex, maybe. Lol

So today at work a girl asked me, "want some candy?". Obviously I did not get to be my size by being the guy who says no to free candy, so I think her question was purely academic. Anyways, she starts to hand me the candy by unzipping her hoodie and revealing a large bag of candy pressed against her body. I was so shocked by this skinny candy smuggler that I took a candy bar I normally despise. Hats off lady, you have pwned the most today.

Would have been a great pic if:

if she wasn't making pancakes for breakfast.

I'm sure this is entirely staged, but it IS October, so, awareness is welcome, right?

Krantz may be my new hero

Exhibit A:  Dude got a TV show made about him and his friends that is A - Not on MTV and B - Pretty damn funny

Exhibit B:  Dude blogs, like actually blogs, and regularly.  Clearly got me beat there.

Exhibit C:  Dude plays poker for a living.  A very succesful living.

Exhibit D:  Dude quotes HIMYM in his blog.

Here's an excerpt from his blog Dangerlion, and the subsequent HIMYM scene that goes with it.

A.A.S.Q. #1 & #2

Awesome Always Sunny Quote #1
"wildcard, bitches" - Charlie
Awesome Always Sunny Quote #2
"I'm wearing clothes now, bitch" - Frank

Dear Verizon,

"Theres a MAP for that." isn't clever, it's lame and annoying.

Then again, when's the last tine your ceaseless commercials weren't the cell phone equivalent of a local furniture store ad; crazy-annoying??

I'm willing to cede that overall suckage is now only the #2 reason the Roid Sox should be eliminated.

#1 reason is the Nick Adenhart commercial for the Angels. You can't beat that sort of feeling.

I very much want these

damn iPhone ear buds drive me nuts.

In truth, my favorite headphones were always the sony ones that wraped around the back of my head, because that's how I'd been wearing them all along.

These, however, I still have hope for:

Swear to God, the moment I grabbed the rally cap, A-Rod homers.

Dear NotTedTurner, paying $3k/seat doesn't allow you to wave at the camera all night

My Birthday is exactly 6 months away...

I will gladly accept one of these. 
If you can't store it until my birthday, I will also accept delivery today

Thanks

I've been told that even in October this is not acceptable: 

208 Lego Zombie Pics

Item 1.)  I grew up playing with Legos.  As the oldest child, toys you could play with solo became my best friend, and Legos allowed me to exercise the randomness of my noodle without annoying too many other people.

Item 2.) Zombies are crazy and you never can be too prepared. 

Combine those two items and I'm pretty sure you'll see that the pictures at this link are both entertainment and solid preparation.  Good job, canucks.

Looks cool, but if it wasn't Google, you wouldn't hear about it for 2 years.

Agreed, now go eat some!!

Sorry about the lack of updates. Don't even have a nerd-cool post ready for weds. No net at Casa Awesome Sauce.

Dear Anie,

Everyone can use a little faith.

Amazing

Whoa!

Quick Question:  Can Emma Stone get any hotter?

Well, I mean, she was already cute and funny in Superbad and Housebunny, so that's tough to beat. 

Then she showed up to Comic-Con looking like this:

Yeah, so I agree, that seems pretty tough to beat.

Well, we're wrong, my friend, because in Zombieland, she turns the dial up and adds Badass to her resume.  Sure, in the end she has to be rescued, but seriously, any lady that can run around and competently make use of a shotgun like she does at the end of the movie.....well, that's a doll that always has a place in my bunker.

Thank-you.

You know you're curious...

Zombie-ification of Literature Shambles Onward

By Jason Boog on Sep 30, 2009 12:23 PM

Following the monstrous trend brought to life by bestseller success of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," Del Rey Books just bought Porter Grand's "Little Women and Werewolves"--remixing the classic novel with a wolfish twist.
Editor-in-chief Betsy Mitchell acquired the title through Adam Chromy of Artists and Artisans. Ever since Quirk Books combined zombies and Jane Austen, we've seen more monster mash-up deals: "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." If you want to read the good-old-fashioned "Little Women," Project Gutenberg has a free eBook version.
Here's a description of the forthcoming werewolf version: "In this retelling of Louisa May Alcott's classic, the beloved little women must keep not just the wolf, but the werewolves, from the door...and the kindly old gentlemen next door and his grandson may have some secrets to hide--or share with the March girls."
