JUST AMAZING

There's something about stop-action animation that's simultaneously enthralling, compelling and haunting. Unlike computer animation, the weight and density of the objects moving seems 'real'... in a way that messes with your mind.

WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW AN ATOM WORKS?

These golden retrievers are here to help you...

I WAS CONVINCED THIS WAS A JOKE

...But maybe it's not. A religious Wii game that uses a crucifix controller and kneeling pad, and you can earn 'grace' points.

Oy!

ANOTHER HOLY SH%T VIDEO MOMENT

Watch this clip where a track inspector almost gets hit by a train. Twice! As the kids text these days... OMG!

STAR TREK... THE MISSING PILOT

Discovered this on Boing Boing. There's an unreleased alternative pilot of Star Trek: The Original Series that some German collector has made available. It's being offered with the complete Third Season DVDs. It was emtitled "Where No One Has Gone Before," and included a different opening monlogue, among other things.

Check out this footage...

H.P. LOVECRAFT FOR THE SPROUT NETWORK


If PBS Kids were truly interested in political and religious balance it'd include Li'l Cthulhu in it's morning line up! The Elder Gods of madness, despair and death have never been so cute!

SEAL TRIES TO TEACH PHOTOGRAPHER HOW TO EAT PENGUIN

...This amazing video shows... well, you read the title, right? What's incredible to me (aside from the photos) is that the seal showed genuine concern for the photographer. It not only wanted to feed him, it wanted to teach him how to survive on his own.

Give a man a penguin, and he'll eat for a day. But teach a man to hunt penguin...

WTF?!!!!

I sure wish I understood Japanese. Anyone want to translate? It's like Saved By The Bell meets William S Burroughs.




Oh, and there's a trailer...

DOGS CELEBRATE VETERAN'S DAY TOO!

I don't know how you can't get choked up over this one.

HIGH QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT FROM 1987

Ladies and gentleman, I give you the Crystal light National Aerobic Championship, hosted by none other than Alan Thicke!!!

THE MUPPET SHOW

For those of you who would like to take a walk down memory lane, I give you a smorgasbord of topnotch Muppet gags and bits. Jay Leno could take lesson...

Dueling banjos w Steve Martin....




Animal vs Buddy Rich...




John Cleese on The Muppet Show...



Beaker - Ode To Joy

THIS IS AMAZING!

99 Classic albums in one mash-up tune. Simply incredible! Wish I had an actual mp3 of the tune...

WELL, THEY ALWAYS SAY, "WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW..."

Courtesy of Jeff S. As he says, another officially entry for the WTF category.

SOMETIMES JUSTICE IS... JUST. SORTA.

So, a nine year old girl accidentally sets down birthday gift cards at Wal-Mart. Then two women find them and decide to use of for their own purchases, even the girl's name is written on them.

The judge offers them jail time or public shaming.

I wish white collar criminals had to go through extended sentences of shaming like this whenever they get probation.

Going after poor people is just, well, too easy. Even when they do sucky things like steal a kid's gift card.

LIKE SODA POP?

Not as much as this guy...

I wish I lived in L.A. ... just so I could shop at the Galco’s Soda Pop Stop. I really want to try the Rose and Cuke sodas.

DUDE, THE INSECT WORLD IS TOTALLY BRUTAL

Praying mantis eats grasshopper. No left overs.

SO, HOW LONG UNTIL THE RIGHT WINGNUTS TRY TO SWIFTBOAT THIS GUY

This makes me cry...

HOLIDAYS ARE AROUND THE CORNER

So, here begins my posts about cool stuff you can buy. Now, I don't want everything on this on-going list of rampant consumer hipness... but I'm sure someone on your Xmas/ Chanukah/Kwaanza list would.

1. Rosie The Riveter Bookends. Very cool. Just $35.

2. Geeky T-Shirts. For that special person who doesn't care if no one 'gets it'.

3. Eyeball nesting dolls. Amazing and already SOLD.

4. Vampire Killing Kits. Oooh, I want one. Anyone got a spare $14K?

5. Zero-G Spice Racks. Cool looking and space-saving too!

HOLY SH*T!

That's all I have to say about this.

WHEN CAT'S BREAK UP...

...It isn't pretty. Man, I feel like I've been in that poor black and white's shoes...
