Here’s some amazing Etch-A-Sketch art by someone who perfected their craft in the back of their parents car while on many boring road trips to various shitty locales. The art is good too.

Mindless fun. Good times. Rock and Roll. Connect 4.

I made a nice little banner if anybody wants to link to my site. Feel free to create your own and send it to me and I’ll post it here. The pixel dimensions are to be no larger than 250 by 50. It can be smaller. No animated GIFs please. JPGs good. PNG better.

Sharpeworld has put together a small collection of 80’s biker magazine ads ranging from the funny to downright saucy. Beware: these are sleazy biker magazines so there will be topless women (with feathered hair!) in some of them and at least one man with an eagle in another.
Were these products still available I’d be ordering one for my favorite bitch.

Super Size Me is a film currently being screened at the Sundance film festival. The documentary details the month long period of time in which the filmmaker ate nothing but McDonald’s for his three daily meals as a statement of North American obesity.

Okay, sometimes I have a craving for McDonald’s fries but usually I can keep these things in check. As could be expected he gained a lot of weight and his cholesterol soared higher than a fucking Concorde. I wonder if he had the McGriddle because I’m lovin’ it!

Make a pinhole camera out of paper that works with standard 35mm film. No, really. The instructions were initially published in 1979 in the Czechoslovakian magazine An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists and is reproduced on this website as a downloadable PDF file.

It just occurred to me that I’ve been doing this weblog actively for a year now. Am I doing a good job?

Here’s a quaint but dated piece from about ten years ago from CBC about the embryonic internet. Watch the video. (Realplayer required)

Punctuation marks that look like smiley faces express happiness on a new communication tool known as “Internet.” The computer network is already being used by 15 million people worldwide — to chat or do important research. Communication may be anonymous and isolated, but there’s always someone to talk to about sports, recipes or politics.

Have you ever had the feeling that you’ve been drop-kicked in the crotch repeatedly from 20 feet? I just got back from Las Vegas last night and I honestly can say that on one-hand it was the most hellish 5 day test of both mental and physical endurance I have ever undergone. However, on the other hand, I kind of already miss the place. A picture speaks a thousand words, so here’s a photo of the night-stand after day 3.

Things on the night-stand
Bottle of mostly finished warm Pepsi
Empty bottle Coors Light
Six empty bottles of Rolling Rock
Pair of aviator sunglasses
4 photos of “morphed” children
Almost empty bottle of Pepto Bismol
Empty bottle of JD
Alarm clock tipped over and unplugged
Ashtray full of American cigarettes

Also thanks to Mason and Kalin for keeping the dream alive and adding posts in my absence. Lastly a word of advice, don’t go on this ride.

OK kinder. Eric said I could use his blog for evil purposes while he was gone. I am leaving the country tomorrow so I don’t have time to do this to his room, but if any one posts quickly enough to this I will arrange for you to have access for the one day that is left before eric returns so you can tin foil his room.

Contact me through the comments.

PS. If you are thinking that doing a practical joke on someone and arranging it on their blog is stupid, just try to remember how drunk eric is, he couldn’t log on to the interweb right now if his life depended on it.

PPS. If anyone is thinking of doing this to my half of the apartment I will hunt you down and kill you.

Hello, Mason here. Eric asked me to add some content to his site while he was gone. I figured since my site is currently undergoing renovations behind the scenes, I am more than happy to help him out.

It seems that there is a support group for everything. LBA is short for Lip Balm Anonymous. I was unaware that lip balm is such powerful stuff, that the addicts of such need to band together. There are some truly shocking revelations here, like that fact that Chapstick issues COUPONS for its products. Oh the humanity.

I posted this thinking that all those ladies looking to join him might want to heed the risks. You run the risk of two addictions.

I will be heading off to Las Vegas for the next five days. In the interim, I may or may not have some guest editors who will post some interesting things in my absence. If I am alive by the end of my trip I will thank them.

Chau Vuong has a dream — a dream to find a soulmate in which to spend the rest of his existence with and to foster many children with. Okay, so people using the internet as a device to meet new and interesting people isn’t exactly the newest idea. However Chau has managed to reach a level of thoroughness that I can even begin to compete with. And I’ve been trying to make myself as transparent as possible. This website is definitely worth a look or two. And definitely, definitely, definitely check out his “Reasons for still being single”. He manages to nail every point without coming off as self-loathing or whiny. Wow!

This guy has it all figured out.

Disney, while best known for its characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck also made education films on a variety of different subjects. Most surprisingly is their 1973 film called VD Attack Plan about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

Attack!
