Virtual Flaneurism

Stolen from Bridget, who I think stole it from someone else and junk:

Ok, so the song is interesting in its own right, but you need to check out Moondog's wikipedia page to understand the full oddity of what's happening here.

And yes, that is a photo of him in the video. And yes, he is a hobo who dresses like a Viking.

When memes collide.

Seriously, though, David Beckham is gorgeous, but he genuinely looks like he's been bitch-slapped by Golgothan in this shot.

This feels strangely racist. Does this make me racist? Is this racist? I think you're racist. I love chicken nuggets.

This is true on so many levels. Every game sounds like its taking place inside a god damn bee hive.

This reminds me of the old Disney movie intro where a laser show Mickey Mouse sillouette rotated without purpose. In that same vein, it also reminds of my the classic film trailer for "The Journey of Natty Gann."

Also, Link in "Item Excitement Mode" without an item just looks like he's raising the roof while preparing for a blow job.

Stefan Magdalinski gives his Apple-obsessed girlfriend an iPad...but covers it in chocolate first.

The look on her face says it all. And, for those of you with the giving spirit, I would totally get over my disdain for all things Macintosh if those things were sealed inside a succulent candy coating...with the receipt.

"I honestly think the best thing you can do each and every day to get happy is incrementally work toward creative goals that are heart-burstingly fulfilling. No matter how daunting and unlikely the prospect of success. I mean, I’ve been quasi-skint my whole adult life living in a very expensive city and I’ve launched a TON of things that died or broke and have taken financial risks—but if not now then when? In fact, in the next two years, I’m launching no less than SIX independently published, creator-owned projects with my brother and his fiancée Sonia Oback, who is a super-sick colorist. And those projects will wobble like newborn foal and munch through our savings but, man, it’s so thrilling. I’m not rash and foolhardy enough to buy property or have children, so in the meantime if I can just move forward and leave a trail of creative things that I adored putting together, I think I’ll be happy as much as it’s in my control to be happy. Basically, I think if everyone learned to live like me and followed my teachings they would rule so much harder than if they just went blindly living how they’re inclined to. Oh, and consume other creative’s things. All the time. Gorge. And applaud. And be covetous. And tell them you hate them to their faces."

Very interest quiz that tests your ability to multi-task. At left are my own scores, though I'd like to point out that I kept getting distracted by an episode of Seinfeld, so I wasn't necessarily as focused as the test intended me to be. Of course, that just makes a separate but equally valid point about multi-tasking.

Oh God YES.
