Skateboard Jump Over Great Wall

"He's a couple sandwiches short of a picnic, but he's got it all figured out in his head."

--Pro skater and Danny Way friend Jason Ellis

Special bonus: keep your ears pricked for a great use of the Carmina Burana during the X-Games runs, in the "Videos" section of the site.

Do You Like Waffles?

Yeah we like waffles!

YYZ

Remember when just about anything 3-D computer animated was amazing? Before the internet was everywhere and cell phones were just for a-holes? Remember watching boxes and cylinders traveling across movie screens at horribly slow rates thinking that nothing could ever, ever top that?

I suppose it's all part of living in an age where technologogy re-invents itself seemingly every few months, but it seems like forever since all that slick plastic-looking animation with it's clicky motion and strange mirror reflections seemed the highest form of voodoo magic. Now when you look at it it's all sorta cheesy and fake looking, and shows up in TV commercials for car dealerships and chiropractors..

But it's not like it was all that long ago when it was total ooh and aah fodder, was it?

Anyways, here's a little visit to those days of "The Gate to the Minds Eye" goodness -- a fanboy animation depicting in pretty strong detail the drum parts from everyone's favorite instrumental. Kind of a hefty download, but certainly worth it - even if it's just to hear the song again.

Urchin Balls

Tactile freakdom.

Thinking Putty

Tactile wonderment.

Luis Buñuel Paper Model, aka "Buñuelito Recortable"

Reimagine "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" with your own paper model of the film's director. Here it is.

Obi-Wan Never Told You What Happened to Your Father, Did He?

Well, this certainly explains a lot.

Real Women

Seriously, if you have spent any time at all planning, participating, or worrying over the results of this competition then please please please take this recommendation to heart.

How To Survive A Zombie Outbreak

This is far more important than "Exercise Regularly," "Learn French," and the other life goal instructions on "43 Things."

The Maria Sharapova Screaming Ring Tone

The perfect, and I mean perfect segue to saying the words

"Sorry, I have to take this."

Basin Street Blues

Bad News: Music loving bugs live inside your nose.
Good News: When they hear a killer song, you'll be the first to know.

Dooku.net

I'm pretty sure I could do this all day.

Beast Blender

Become Dr. Moreau, without looking like Brando circa-1996.

Eat Hufu

Two cannibals are eating dinner one night when the first one turns to his friend and says, "Man, your wife makes great soup!"

To which the other replies,

"Yeah, but I'm gonna miss her."

Jedi Nation?

Actually, I'm not sure which thing I'm more highly recommending at the moment here -- the rather pointed "keep watching the skies" implication that comes through at the end of this particularly cool Neil Stephenson op-ed, or the unnamed geek who came up with the rss/url trick that enabled me to read New York Times Copy without having to register for a friggin' password every time.

..oh wait, that's sorta what the article is about - isn't it?

Dammit.

Pulp Fiction in 30 Seconds (Re-Enacted by Bunnies)

I'll probably catch a fair amount of shit for saying so, but I actually like this better than the actual movie itself.

Don't turn away.
Your indifference makes you part of the problem.

The AT-AT Boombox

Want One.

Thorazine, Methadone, and Quaaludes

I think every man alive agrees that "getting the message" from the winking Cialis chick is light years better than anything Mike Ditka ever had to say.

Still, 4-hour erection or not, neither of them can hold a candle to this.
