I’m sure if this is a game of not as there are no points to gained and no finishing moves to perform. I do know that if makes my head hurt and that I gave up on it prematurely. Best of luck doing what ever you need to do in the damn thing.
Being homeless isn’t a joke. Unless you’re a celebrity and then it’s fucking funny. There are a few surprises; Sally Jessy Raphael for one. All it says for her entry is “car” and not whether it was before or after her stint as a talk show host. Actually, maybe it was before as I do see from time to time on “The Surreal Life”. Don’t ask me why I watch that show. That’s another post altogether though I will say that Bronson Pinchot is even more of a perv than I am.
If you’re going to be perverted, you may as well brush up on your lingo. I would like to say that “The David Copperfield” involves pulling a rabbit out of a hat but within the context of this site means something entirely, something entirely dirty. The next time someone asks me what a “Beef Bayonet” is I’ll have the asnwer.
But wait, there’s more…Last year when I was looking for work (still am, by the way), I made a half-hearted look at getting a job in the adult film industry. I was looking for something behind the scenes as a graphic artist. If you’re looking for something in front of the camera then this website Question and Answer section has pretty much most of the answers for you. From the website:
15) Is being a Porn Star like being a mainstream Hollywood actor?
NO! But that’s not hard to figure out. There’s more money and respect given to mainstream actors. Even a porn “superstar” remains largely unknown to the masses, but as a porn star you get recognized by people here and there who think what you do is really cool and want to meet you, or to ask you about porn, or how to become a porn actor/actress themselves. And there are times when porn stars get special treatment because of who they are… especially the girls
Finally, for no other reason than the fact it made me giggle, this.
Lenina: “You do not realize that Taco Bell was the only restaurant to survive the franchise wars.”Savage: “So?”
Lenina: “So now all restaurants are Taco Bells.”
That line is reason alone to watch “Demolition Man“. The other reason being that Sundays are generally a bad day for any type of movement. Even if that movement consists of pressing a button to change the channel. The whole time I was watching the movie I was craving Taco Bell thanks to the shameless product placement.
It also got me to start thinking about advertising in films and television (when I wasn’t thinking about how cute Sandra Bullock was in her outfit) but then my brain seized suddenly. Before I scoop it off the floor I’ll just provide you with a series of links and let you do the thinking on my behalf until I can sort that shit out.
Here’s a weblog by a guy who negotiates product placement between his clients and film producers. It’s an interesting read from an inside perspective.
How Stuff Works has an interesting take on it here.
Finally, Maddox tells us what he thinks of the Product Placement in “I, Robot”. I, Flashcube, can’t believe I actually paid to see that piece of shit.
Usually any forwarded email from my family members gets either deleted or labeled as “Forwarded Crap”. This one from my mom was pretty good though. It’s a quiz on how well you know Canada. I got 7 out of 20 so I guess I’m pretty dumb. I would also like to thank Mom for saving me the moist towelettes as she knows I use them to clean my computer screen.
KissBox is an interactive video installation created by Completely Naked and supported by People Show as part of ’21st Century Misfits’.
The lit KissBox hangs alone in the darkness.
The audience form two queues.
Unaware of eachother, they wait.
In turn, the head of each queue is blindfolded.
Guided to the KissBox, they enter one either side.
In the intimacy of the KissBox, they experience a kiss with a stranger.
Regardless of age, gender, race and sexuality.
The kisses are displaced from inside the KissBox via video to a screen.
The audience watches the audience kissing live.
This seems like a fantastic idea. I love art when it involves kissing. I also like art when it involves pizza which would explain why I was a fan of the performance piece yesterday at the Truck Gallery. Darth Vader + Pizza = Awesome
Okay, I think I may have reached my YouTube quota for the week. Here’s a video of The Folksmen for a Saturday Night Live episode circa the early-80’s. Now the interesting thing about this is that I was under the impression that The Folksmen were created for A Mighty Wind and not before.
Supercar are my favourite band and unfortunately broke up last year. Thankfully Youtube is now hosting a bunch of their videos. Here is the video for Wonder Word off their final album Answer. See what you missed out on.
The official Flashcube.org stance of the recent riots in the Middle East as result of Danish newspapers publishing images of Mohammed is “no fucking comment”. You can still enjoy this little musical number though (via Little Green Footballs). I like it if for only that it reminds me of Putting On The Ritz by Taco and we all know how awesome a song that is. Super Dooper!
Swedish metalheads unite and give a helping hand to someone or other. Regardless of our opinion on 80’s heavy metal (Swedish or otherwise), it certainly is something to see so many permed-out mullets in a single room. Shit, I’m almost envious. Though I doubt I could convince my girlfriend to cut and style it that way.
Watch Kahimi Karie sing the Momus-penned “One Thousand 20th Century Chairs” live on Japanese television. I find it strange that a song with lyrics as good as this was a big hit. As a bonus you get to both Momus on guitar and Toog on bass in the background. I never knew that Momus was such an accomplished guitarist.
Though I’m sure it’s been blogged a zillion times before, but here’s my contribution. Play Katamari Damacy in 2D. For those who haven’t played Katamari Damacy on PS2, rest assured it is the funnest game I’ve ever played. I’m not even a hard core gamer and it makes me want to run out and buy a PS2 for the game alone.
My dating days are over, thank fuck. Not like I was ever a big dater, mind you. If I were I would have declared abstinence long ago because really, while love is grand and all that, getting there can be a bitch.
I’m also a stand-up gentleman and more fun than a spacesuit full of eels. Good thing I’m not too much of an jerk because someone would call my punk ass out like they do on the Don’t Date Him Girl website.
Just to make sure I did a search for me just in case a spurned lover from the past still had a hate on. Thankfully, it came up blank. Too bad I can’t say the same for Halle Berry’s ex. He’s totally fucked.
BONUS: This website does absolutely nothing to promote Veganism. In fact, any dalliance with it has been curtailed by viewing the images. If you don’t believe me, get out your carrots and get a load of THIS (Not safe for work or lunch). PA! RA! RA! Thankfully, another site does a much better job and actually gives vegetarians a good name.
Attention comic nerds: read this weblog about Jack Kirby.
Thank you,

Watch an entire episode of Japanese Spider-Man here.
Not surprisingly, Japanese Spider-Man has a giant transforming robot and is a master of the martial arts. I didn’t see so much web-slinging as I did ass kicking. Still despite the differences, he still beats the pants off of both Turkish Spider-Man and Indian Spider-Man.
Fuck! It was bad enough going to school for four years with people who thought they were one, but now there’s actually a reality show about artstars. Give me another season of Superstar USA any day.
The New York Times has a good write-up on the show. I don’t exactly set the bar high with these posts so damn near anything is better.
Rather, look what I can’t do. I wasn’t able to update this website for the past four days or so. I’m sure I had good reasons but whatever they were I’m sure will turn up on the over 170 silly photos that were taken last night after a spontaneous games night. All I know is that apparently the way that I hold a strawberry in my mouth was described as “slutty”. I thought I was better than that.
Having absolutely nothing to do with being or acting slutty, this is a website from which I’ve studied for hours in order to perfect my dancing technique.
Thanks to Mason for turning me on to The IT Crowd. If you are reading this from Britain, then you’re lucky enough to be able to watch it online for free. The rest of the world will have to obtain it via other means.
The show is great as it caters to the nerd in me and is made by the same people that did Father Ted - a show I’ve honestly yet to see despite the praises by several of my friends.
Obviously, weapons in school is a big concern of parents. It’s also big business for the sellers of metal detectors who demonstrate the ridiculous arsenal that can be carried under a pair of baggy skater pants and shirts. Where’s the bazooka hidden?
Also, I have four three more Valentines cards left. If you want one let me know. Now. They’re going in the mail this week.
A list of the top 10 sexiest female robots. Were I to actually post original content here rather than just comment on it, I would have a difficult time even tackling this list for the simple reason that all female robots are inherently sexy. I mean, how can you choose? One notable exception was Maria from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.
Everyone knows the old adage,”Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, never fear.” It seems to make sense, however given last night, I thought that I’d make a more personal revision. “Beer before whiskey sour before bottle of wine before five gin & tonics, wake up the next with a hangover and drag your drunk ass over to the couch to watch The Watchers on the Space Channel starring Corey Haim.
