  • terminator 2: low budget day

    If you’ve never seen Terminator 2, this clip will mean nothing to you.

    My favorite part is how they “recreate” the more special-effects-heavy scenes. It’s only semi-funny, but the execution is actually fairly genius.

    Oh, and I love the hairy-backed Sarah Connor. He definitely does Linda Hamilton proud.

  • This might be the best video ever. I hate to exagerate. But seriously. Best. Video. Ever.

    Peep it here (sorry to steal your line, Captain)

  • I’m posting this because I’m pretty sure we don’t actually have any readers anymore, except for the four wrongs themselves, and maybe not even them. So, hell, who am I going to offend?

    This little number is from Jesus Martinez (aka Drunken Stepfather). DO NOT go to his site. There is way too much stuff you don’t want to see. But I keep going back, because his blog entries are priceless. This is just one example:

    I just made a new friend on the stoop of my apartment. He was this 20 year old dude who was just sitting there talking to himself. His conversation seemed pretty fucking intense as he was laughing loudly, and screaming, then whispering and crying, shit was like an emotional roller coaster and when I looked to see if he had his CIA blue tooth ear piece that junior executives everywhere are rockin in hopes of making their boring lives seemingly more interesting. I decided that dude was obviously talking to himself, so I figured I’d be a nice guy and strike up some conversation so he didn’t feel so alone. It was a mistake.

    He went off on how he was involved in some kind of rape last night and that the woman was his friend’s girlfriend’s grandmother because he loved her fucking cookies so much. He figured if she knew how to bake so well, her pussy was probably prime and when she was passed out on her cancer meds in her room, he slipped in to slip it in her. He then started laughing hysterically and that’s when I decided to peace, because crazy people who talk about raping grandmother’s freak me out.

    The truth is the only thing better than an old pussy, that can’t get pregnant because it dried up long ago, is young hot pussy on the pill, but I guess it’s a beggars can’t be choosers situation.

    Here is Oscar winning Helen Mirren in her bikini, showing of the tits that made her famous and the good news is that she’s only 63 and not 80, like the big breasted senior citizen I once loved when working at the old folks home.

    Wow. That’s all I can say

  • I think Stephen Hawking is a dick. But he did say (at least) one thing intelligent:

    “If time travel is real, where are all the time travelers?”

    Seriously, this is a great question.

  • obama created the fist bump

    God, I wish we had an audience bigger than 4. Because this amazes me. BuzzFeed is ACTUALLY, literally claiming that Obama created the fist bump, apparently. A picture was snapped of Bush “bumping fists” with some kid - And BuzzFeed’s reaction is “George W copies Obama and gives an ecstatic little boy a fist bump”.

    Um… Am I crazy, or has the “fist bump” been around for a couple decades now? I was unaware that ol’ Obama created it. And, by the way, I’m sure Bush had never done it before Obama did a few weeks ago.

    Hmm, interesting. Political bias, maybe?

  • Remember that antiquated old thing called Abstinence?

    Well apparently it’s gone for good.

    Some folks just insist on pissing in the gene pool. A group of high school girls in Massachusetts may have decided to make a “pregnancy pact,” because nothing goes with an eigth grade reading level quite like the responsibility of raising a human being:

    “Some girls seemed more upset when they weren’t pregnant than when they were,” principal Joseph Sullivan told Time.com.The pregnancy rate at the 1,200-student school is four times higher than the previous year, and officials were shocked to learn that men in their 20s had fathered some of the babies, Time.com said.“We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” Sullivan told Time.com.

    Enjoy the full story here. What the hell has this country come to?

     

    On a side note, I just thought you might like to know that I beat ol’ Kottke to the punch on this story. I posted it last night, and then I was checking kottke this afternoon, and he just posted about it. I feel pretty special about that.

  • I don’t know how I forgot to post about this, but Emma Watson turned 18 on Tuesday. And, yes, she’s still hot. That’s okay for me to say now, right? Because she’s 18? So, here it is: Emma Watson is hot. Oh, and she’s rich too.

  • This is an interesting set of tagged bills on flickr. These two are my favorites.

    —

    On a separate note, while pasting the above image of the twenty-dollar-bill into Photoshop, I got an interesting warning window that I’ve never seen before. You can see the actual image here. But here is what it said:

    This application does not support the printing of banknote images.

    You can open and edit this image but you will not be able to print it as is. For more information, select the information button below for Internet-based information on restrictions for copying and distributing banknote images or go to www.rulesforuse.org.

    Interesting.

  • Cookie Monster searches deep within himself and asks: Is me really monster?

    Me was thinking and me just don’t get it. Why is me a monster? No one else called monster on Sesame Street. Well, no one who isn’t really monster. Two-Headed Monster have two heads, so he real monster. Herry Monster strong and look angry, so he probably real monster, too. But is me really monster?

    Me thinks me have serious problem. Me thinks me addicted. But since when it acceptable to call addict monster? It affliction. It disease. It burden. But does it make me monster?

  • In the butt! In the butt! You could have been raped in the butt! My favorite part: “I’m eighteen! I’m eighteen! I’m not like young and stupid.”

    Note to all freaking girls: Don’t go see a guy you met on MySpace. Seriously.

  • 41 Hours Stuck on an Elevator

    This video from the New Yorker of a man stuck in an elevator car for 41 hours is surprisingly difficult to watch. The accompanying story about the man’s experience — and then, more specifically about elevator safety is quite intriguing. I never thought I’d think about elevators for so long in one sitting.

    Two things make tall buildings possible: the steel frame and the safety elevator. The elevator, underrated and overlooked, is to the city what paper is to reading and gunpowder is to war. Without the elevator, there would be no verticality, no density, and, without these, none of the urban advantages of energy efficiency, economic productivity, and cultural ferment. The population of the earth would ooze out over its surface, like an oil slick, and we would spend even more time stuck in traffic or on trains, traversing a vast carapace of concrete. And the elevator is energy-efficient—the counterweight does a great deal of the work, and the new systems these days regenerate electricity. The elevator is a hybrid, by design.
