Strange old ads

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Baby ShaveWe laugh now at old ads but what will they think of current ads ten years from now? Somehow I think future laughing and head scratching will be slightly less than when we look back from today on yesterday. With that said however some of those old Ross Perot campaign ads, the old ladies asking “Where the beef”, and anything with Fen Phen will be highly humorous in the future.

On this web page is a collection of old ads that just make you wonder “What the hell were they thinking”. There is everything from a pig cutting himself up for you to eat to kids looking at food like they are deranged mental escapees. I just posted part of the one that is my favorite here but if you click over you can see all of them. Or how about some old blatantly sexist ads!

I love the old ad I posted. What better way to point out how safe your new razor is than to have a baby using it! Hell lets give the lad an ultra light cigarette. Or put a bike helmet on him and lay him on the dash of a fast moving car… you know just to show haw safe these products are!

Mike Gravel is entertaining

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

The one thing I will really miss come 2009 is that Mike Gravel will not be entertaining me anymore. Maybe I will get lucky and he will just embrace internet stardom and keep the videos coming?
Video 1 - Mike tosses a rock
Video 2 - Mike starts a fire
Video 3 - CNN is dragging YouTube down

My Favorite one to date.

Eat animals

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

eatI typed this up in a different location and chuckled the whole time. It perhaps is only entertaining to me but this blog is just to entertain myself so here it goes!

One must eat other living things to absorb their strength and soul. If you just eat vegetables you just sit around and suck on dirt.

I myself see like an eagle, swim like a dolphin, run like a leopard, intimidate like an elephant, crush like a bear, peck like a cock and smell like a skunk. But then I have a wide range of tastes.

Running naked

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Streaking If you sometimes get the sudden urge to run around naked. Drink some Windex. It will keep you from streaking.

I am not sure why that is funny but it just gives me a slight chuckle everytime I read it. According to Wikipedia the word streaking “is recorded in its modern sense only since 1973“. However, “The first recorded incident of streaking by a college student in the United States occurred in 1804 at Washington College“. It is also worth noting that “The current record for the largest group streak was established at the University of Georgia, with 1,543 simultaneous streakers on March 7, 1974“.

This holiday, meat hats for everyone

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Meat hats rockThe internet sure has some strange parts. I don’t even recall how I fell into this site. It is a site devoted to hats made out of meat. Raw meat always makes good hats… right? I mean if you can make hats and other clothing out of a creatures skin you surely can use their muscles to do the same right? Wait… wait… wait a second… surely it would smell! This is not a fashion I will be jumping on any time soon.

The best part about meat hats is the rarity of it. Most anything you Google will bring page after page of crap relating to your search. Now you do a search for meat hats and the list that actually relates to hats made out of meat is rather small.

Mark Twain once said “One always looks neat, in a hat made from meat”. No I don’t know when he said this, he may have been drunk.

According to the web site hatsofmeat.com:

there is evidence that the Aztec empire used meat in this fashion as early as 1500 AD. Montezuma often wore what the villagers called “sombrero de la pollo”, or “hat of chicken”.

Well if the Aztec did it then it just has to be cool. I mean everything else they did was so rational and sensible! You know who does not need to perform a human sacrifice from time to time? Honestly, hats of meat? Even as a joke this is very very strange.

Another one of those contraptions

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Here is a video of another one of those contraptions. You know those things where one thing causes another which causes another and so on and so on. This one uses a lot of fire so it is extra special. We all know hoe cool fire is! Do these things have a name? They must be called something but I’ll be damn if I know what it is.

Here is a video of another one of these things.

Green Team - “Use your F&%king brain”

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

The video below if from funnyordie.com. It is a great web site and you should go there at least weekly to see what is new and what will make milk blow out of your nose. This video is a spoof on the “save the planet” groups. Good stuff!

The video below uses some “bad” words. Just a heads up before you blast it through those cubical walls.

The pain… dear lord the pain

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

ToothI did not post yesterday because my dentist is a sadistic bastard. I was curled over in more pain than I have ever experienced. I have not been to the dentist in like eight years. Perhaps I will wait another eight? It is a freaking waste of time for me. I have good teeth and I maintain them pretty damn good. Even when I went regularly the dentist only had me come in once a year. It was always the same story “floss more, see you in a year”. I had a cavity from time to time but all in all pretty good teeth.

My woman talked me into going to the dentist. I agreed because a little less than a year ago I had a wisdom tooth come in and I know they can cause trouble so I wanted it looked at. Funny I don’t feel a lick smarter?

It took two months or so to get into the dentist. Shortly after the appointment was made I must have lost a filling or something. This caused food to get stuck in my rear most molar. Two weeks before my appointment I was cleaning some food from my tooth and got the little tool stuck which broke off a chunk of my tooth. I think I got a cavity under an old filling or something.

So yesterday the bastard dentist from hell was grinding away at my tooth when he hit the fucking nerve! Thank the FSM I said yes when he asked me if I wanted Novocaine. So when the dentist was done he showed me a little drawing and told me all he had done. “The decay was close to the nerve.” Close my ass! He was in the fucking nerve!

So I left the office feeling like I just gave a shipload of sailors two for one blow jobs and went home. I was not too bad all considered. Then 6:00 came and the Novocaine wore off. It started slow at first until the pain consumed my entire body and left me a weak and feeble ball on the floor. I had to take a power dump and was left cold damp and crabby. From both the dump and the pain.

Now you tell me why the bastard dentist did not give me some pain meds? He knew damn well he hit the nerve… he told me he did! I took some tylenol but it did not react as fast as I would have liked and it only took enough pain away so that I could see well enough to not piss on the floor when aiming for the bathtub.

So today I am much better. Just a lingering feeling that my tooth wants me dead. I have to say though for eight years of not going to the dentist only one cavity seems quite good. It is not even a new cavity so much as a rework on an old one. Next Monday I get to have that wisdom tooth pulled!! They give you pain meds for that right?

The Daft Punk fans strike again

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Earlier in my blog I had a post about a cool Daft Punk fan video that displayed some real talent… and a lot of spare time. Now that idea has evolved and another Daft Punk fan is doing a similar video.

Posted below is a fan video of two lasses with the Daft Punk song lyrics written on their body and they dance/perform the song. It starts off rather slow but works up to a frothing entertaining frenzy. I think the tin foil box heads of the ladies could use some more thought. All in all it is a pretty well done performance. Well as far as internet performances go. I think I still prefer the original hand version but there is certainly some talent displayed. What I really am missing is the outtakes where the two girls knock each other out as they frantically swing their body parts around.

Tay Zonday has a voice that will blow you away

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Wow! I could ramble on and on about how blown away I am with Tay Zonday but it is just best if you check him out for yourself. I will however ramble a little.

He is only 25 yet he has a rich creamy voice like no other. Not only does he have the gift of a magic voice but the lad can play piano as well! I don’t do music so I can’t tell actual talent from general skill. I just know what I like. However, it looks to me like his ivory tapping is pretty decent. Not that anyone makes keyboards with ivory anymore but you get the point. His voice however is the thing that for me merits him worth noting and worthy of great praise.

He seems to have a genuine healthy glow as well. He just looks content and like an all around good chap. Not that a few YouTube videos gives you any perspective into a person but you can certainly spot the ass bags in a hurry. Oh and he is from Minnesota so you have to give him a pat on the back for that!

Now the shocker!! All the songs he performs in the videos he has on YouTube are free to download. That is right Timmy he is just like Santa, bringing gifts to all the good little boys and girls. Well except he is not over weight and he does not have any facial hair. I can only speculate that he does not have reindeer or a furry red suit. Watch the video posted below and if his talent raises an eyebrow be sure to check out Tay’s YouTube page so you can enjoy all the talent he has leaked out for our enjoyment. He also does voice over work. Tay’s personal web site also has all his songs available for a listen without the video.

Great stuff! The video I posted is not his best video but the song is good and it shows him in a more “lad next door way”. I actually had to watch several videos before I was ready to even believe this voice was coming from him. I also really enjoy the song “Internet Dream”.
