It's Just Like A Mini... MALL

IT'S JUST TOO DAMN SAD...

Thanks to my buddy Damien for bringing this to my attention... The R-E-H to the D-O-double-G drops some mad heartbreaking knowledge up in this piece, holla!

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO RAM IT?

Big thanks to Nick for sending this my way... The guys in this video really love ramming it, especially #21, the guy with the well groomed beard

Apparently, this was filmed before they invented sexual innuendo...

CRAZY BEATLE BABY

Thanks to my buddy Adam for pointing this one out... from the number of youtube views this has gotten already, I'm guessing I'm the last person on the planet to come across this astonishing video.

YOUR NEW FAVORITE BAND - PATH 2 VISION

TRUE STORY: A 50 year old limo driver in Vegas notices that one of his clients is practicing scales on a heavy metal strat while relaxing in the back seat... The driver mentions that he's always wanted to be a singer. Well guess what, that axe-shredding client just so happens to have a few hot jams that need some vocals. Hence, Path 2 Vision is born! Check out their latest single: Crazy, Nuts, Insane, then go to their myspace and become their friend!

MY FAVORITE CAT

When I was a kid, I spent hours and hours drawing Garfield... asked for Garfield books for my birthday every year, etc. It was an obsession, but this dude has topped me by a longshot

Check out this one and this one too. Amazing! Thanks to my buddy Andrew for telling me about this...

KARAOKE MADNESS!

Thanks to my good buddy Joan for this link. See what kind of damage can be done at a Bar Mitzvah when Grampa has too much Manischewitz!

HEAVY METAL?

Saw this on Stereogum today and loved it. Really helps crystallize my own definition of Heavy Metal... the debate here is on the band Rush, but the same question could be asked about Van Halen, Def Leppard, AC/DC... hard rock, long hair, ridiculously fast guitar solos, but Heavy Metal? YOU DECIDE! More episodes of this great serious can be found here

A LONG TIME AGO...IN A 1980'S BEAUTY PAGEANT

Thanks to my buddies Bekah & Andrew for pointing this one out. Be sure to check out how "Miss Douglas" fights the Empire with her space trumpet during the battle scene, AND the cool dance moves during the cantina music (STAR WARS nerds will know what I'm talking about)

SHREDDIN' II - ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Had to make a separate post about this one 'cause I love it so much! Thanks again TW! UPDATE: check out this Wired news blog on why this video is no longer available... sux!

FLICKR

Thanks to Amy for pointing out this amazing song... Jonathan Coulton is a musician / comedy guy who sometimes partners with this dude, also a comedy guy (and sometimes, a computer)


Check out this ad where John Hodgman trashes his buddy and explains why he's a better choice (for cats?)

SHREDDIN'

Thanks to TW for pointing this one out, more are available here: UPDATE: check out this Wired news blog on why this video is no longer available... sux!

REMEMBER WHEN...

...videos used to be great? This one is like the old days of MTV... it's not brand new or anything, just freaking awesome. Check out this hot-ass track by ROBYN:

KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE

Just remembered how much I love these GI Joe PSA's... check out this site if you want to see them all:

OUCH

Keep this in mind when coming up with scary halloween ideas. Apologies for the irritating AFV narration

MONKEY BUSINESS

WORDS TO LIVE BY

NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS OR WORK, though it does contain some very important advice for children and co-workers alike.

Crazy ridiculous drum corps from Switzerland

PINKY THE CAT

This is the story of a very loving cat...
