I keep watching this and laughing alone in my apartment. The tail deflating at the end!

December 19, 2011Sink Positive – Eco-friendly bathroom sink
November 16, 2011This is an amazing idea. It’s a new lid that attaches to any toilet cistern, re-routing the clean water that refills the tank up into a sink that you can use to wash your hands. The soapy hand-wash water then goes back into the tank to be stored for the next flush. Genius.
Starr Andrews Whips Her Hair while skating

Thanks to May for Facebookin’ this.
Dancing Twins
October 17, 2010“I’m six-foot-five, two hundred and twenty pounds,
and there’s two of me.”
Thanks to Peneycad for the tip.
And I wrote a rap about it.
September 8, 2010Something I can do for hours (um, obviously I’m speaking totally hypothetically here, you guys,) is listen to Rap Master Maurice do his thing. Rap Master Maurice is (one of) the alter ego(s) of artist Derek Erdman, who writes and sells “Vigilante rap phone calls”. It works is like so: You Paypal him $12 and he writes you a personalized revenge rap, plus sends you an .mp3 of him rapping it to the unsuspecting but totally deserving nitwit of your choice.
Ferinstance, let’s say you have a group project, but there’s that one dude not pulling his weight (there’s ALWAYS that one dude. If you think there isn’t, that one dude is YOU. Jerk.)
Or, maybe you’re upset about how your property management company does things.
Or, imagine you asked your friend what to eat, and he said: “How about some Beach Cliff sardines?” Clearly, that has revenge rap written all over it.
Also, he does friendly raps, but that will set you back $19. Fair enough.
I love this guy. 8 billion other raps on his site here. He’s away till September 15th, but I’m already making a list of those who have wronged me, and they’re gonna be so, so sorry.
My hero is Doogie Howser. Not.

Tarp Surfing
July 22, 2010Get a giant blue tarp. Skateboard over it while someone pulls it over you.
Oh my goodness this is delightful.
Skip to 0:30 if you don’t wanna listen to silhouette guy yapping. And then he yaps again, so skip to 5:00 to see outtakes.
I wanna do this and put a cardboard silhouette of a shark behind the tarp.
