Construction Party!

I was never much for construction toys. I had a few, but they served primarily as fodder for missile or dinosaur attack. Yet I’m charmed by the wide variety of construction-themed party favors available at “Celebrate Express.” (We were thinking of hosting a kids-themed party for two adult friends. Or I like to throw unattended [...]

Ever wonder how the short, skinny kid you always picked on in grade school got into the gene pool? The Isle of Rum has the answers (sort of). [LiveScience]

Jaime Kennedy Bombs at E3

Proving my theory that anyone who has ever participated in something titled “$Their_Name Project|Experiment|Group” is a douche trooper, Jaime Kennedy, obviously high as fuck, bombs at an E3 press function. It’s mostly just painful death of comedy, but stick around for a casual owning from a laid back British developer.

Michael Vick is a Twat

I mentioned to a friend last night that Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has been indicted on dog-fighting charges, and he sort of shrugged. “Don’t you eat meat? What’s wrong with letting animals kill each other?” The problem is, of course, that hunting animals or raising them for food doesn’t require—in theory—any unnecessary cruelty. I don’t [...]

History as Maps

I get a boner about maps just like I do about giant federal data set/Google Maps mashups. So it was a record two boners in three days when I found history/event maps over at HistoryShots. [historyshots.com]

HOWTO: Make Cultured Butter

Make your own cultured butter — it is amazingly good and you get real buttermilk as a byproduct. [The Traveler's Lunchbox]

For months we’ve been trying to figure out how to add cheesecake to Dethroner without taking the low and easy road (not that there’s a god damn thing wrong with giving some eye-service to some women solely on the merit of their curves. [Could we call that "Bezier Mucho?"]) The strongest idea we’ve had so [...]

Unlike the Mortal Kombat 4 video we’ve got after the jump, this ending from Neo Contra is clearly tongue-in-cheek. That doesn’t make it any less great, however; I think I’ll watch it every morning to prepare to face the day.
The MK4 ending is just trash, though. What a joke of a series.

This one came in last week from a longtime reader, who asks the right guy the right question…
What is your take on men and nail polish? I love having painted toenails and the ladies seem to really dig it. I have even been taken by the arm by a total stranger to have [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
