Wow. I loved this ‘commercial.’ I used to sit in my office, back during the first DotCom boom, play this and laugh my ass off. I’m pretty sure the first time this was shared with me it was in the nearly lost .AU format. Almost as rare as leaded gas?

It has been so long since I’ve visited my friends the RadiSkull and his pal Devil Doll. This stuff was so funny, I remember watching it over and over and over.
RadiSkulls no non-sense attitude. Devil Doll’s yearning to be loved. Joe Sparks delivered it all. Who can forget Devil Doll’s classic lyrics:
listen up y’all, I’m [...]

Anyone know the story behind this one?

**THANKS to Jesse, Berylium and Daves561 for the link to the RV Salesman, Jack Rebney’s Wikipedia entry.

It began with an interview about whistle-tips. He became one of the very first INTERNET SUPER-STARS. Before Mike Arrington, before Robert Scoble — there was: BUBB RUBB!
He installed a noise-maker on his car, blew through a stop sign and the rest… Internet History.

Thanks Andre for reminding me about all these Great Men.

Wow. From October of 2003, George W. Bush — Economic Super Hero.

I had never heard this! I’m doing a quick troll of Wikipedia to see if I can find anything — HOWEVER reading a quick blurb about a new series in production for the Smithsonian Channel entitiled True Story suggests the character is based on a real person.
The new series will explore the real-life history [...]

I’ve posted an interview that Seann did with Gygax back in ‘03 on Boing Boing Gadgets.

An hour long discussion with Anthony Bourdain, moderated by Google Executive Chef Nate Keller. The story about Billy Joel is great.

At a news conference in Brooklyn, state Atty. Gen. Andrew M. Cuomo said the arrests served as a message that “organized crime still exits. . . . We like to think it’s a vestige of the past. It’s not. It is as unrelenting as weeds that continue to sprout in the cracks of society.
