Freaky Plane Propellers

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:07:47 +0000

An interesting look at the propellers of a plane when viewed through a low res camera phone and a curved airplane window. This reminds me of the time I was on my way back from Amsterdam and the plane started melting. But that’s a story for another time.

Happy 90210 Day

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:32:36 +0000

For all you 30 somethings out there you’ll probably remember wasting your time watching this show. Oh sure, it was great back then, but now looking back, it was crap. Well with today being 9/02/10 that makes it a cause to celebrate the show that brought us all the drama our adolescent lives could handle. And for those who never saw it, here’s the opening credits. Don’t make fun of the fruity kid dancing around that seems to kind of stand out of the crowd. An entire generation made fun of that guy and he just married Megan Fox, which proves there’s no justice in the world!

Meme Of The Week 9-2

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:01:11 +0000

This week’s meme is The Leo Strut

The Back Story: During the filming of the movie Inception an image was snapped of Leonardo DiCaprio strutting off the set. Rumored that they had just finished shooting a scene and were taking a break for a little while he is pictured strutting with a smug look on his face as if he is really pleased with a job well done. None of us look like this when we’re going on our lunch break at work do we? Want to know why? Because he’s getting paid millions of dollars and at the time this picture was taken he was thinking about his trailer he was walking toward that was stocked full of fine hookers and a mountain of blow. You’d be strutting and happy too! I went to college and had dreams but now I have to sit here and write crap like this all day, but I digress. Anyway, the image circulated, people thought it was funny and showed a softer side of old Leo. Then it started to get photo shopped into different scenes and it began to spread like wild fire. For a meme that has only been around a couple of months it has already exploded in popularity and has achieved cross meme status many times over. The main attraction of this meme is the versatility, you can use it in pretty much anything. In popular examples the creator of the image may place Leo in a scene of destruction or disaster where it appears he may either be responsible or may be able to help or prevent what had happened but is joyfully walking away. Other images place Leo into crowds turning it into more of a Where’s Waldo style image. Some more place Leo into crowd scenes as to interact with what is going on.

The set up: Add Leo to an image

WTF Wednesday 9-1

Generally we would consider this just a random funny video but it earns WTF status due to the venue. At a children’s museum in Tarpon Springs, Florida, this group of museum goers found an over sized rocking horse that must have previously belonged to Catherine the Great. Special thanks to Monica of the Strange Beaver fan page for sending this to us.

Mad Flute Beatboxing Skillz

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:43:20 +0000

Flute beatboxing has been around for a little while because guys had to find some way to butch up playing such a girly instrument. This guy gets bored one night in his hotel room and decided to show off his skills. Watch his eyes as he’s either lost in thought and concentration or completely tweaking on speed. Either way, this guy kind of struck a cord with us (HA! get it?!?).
