Skeleton Driving a Car

/ Shane / 1 Comment

Okay, now here is something  that would be even weirder to see than a goat on a trampoline. A skeleton driving a car.

Basically, a guy got a European car, with the steering wheel on the passenger side, and rigged it up such that you couldn’t see that he was driving it. Instead you could only see the skeleton sitting in what you would assume was the driver’s seat, complete with a fake steering wheel. Then he drove it around on Halloween to freak people out. It’s pretty effective, there’s no way you could avoid a double take.

Go watch the video, it’s pretty cool.

Geek Coaster Shots

Okay, I was awakened to an entire new geek subculture. It’s kind of hard to explain, but basically groups of people whip out a chess board (or some other game) and pose for one of those pictures they take of you when you’re on a roller coaster. Maybe I’ll let a picture explain it:

You really need to see the whole series to do this justice. You can’t believe how many of them there are.

Is it just me, or can you totally picture the Rupleys doing this?

Bacon Narwhal!

What is more delicious than chicken? Chicken wrapped in bacon. What is more delicious than that? Chicken wrapped in bacon in the shape of a narwhal. The narwhal is the most delicious animal shape known to man, FACT.

Of course I wouldn’t just tease you with a great picture like that without providing the link to the recipe.

In case you are wondering, the horn is cheese. Of course, you wouldn’t have to have the cheese-horn, but then you’d just have a whale. And who wants just a whale, when you could have had a narwhal? Nobody, that’s who.

The new (and final) season of Lost starts in about 10 minutes. So, for those of you who haven’t been watching the show, you have *just* enough time to get completely caught up.

At least one city councilman is concerned

/ Shane / 1 Comment

The residents of Lawndale, California are causing a stink over the town’s plants. Apparently, the roads are lined with garlic–which either smells like skunk or marijuana depending on who you talk to. KTLA did a report on the dispute and spoke with Councilman Jim Ramsey who argued against the removal of the plants.

Starts off pretty reasonable, right? Standard stuff? Let me get you some quotes from Jim Ramsey:

“The only reason why we ever had garlic put in, is so we could keep the vampires out of town. And since we have had garlic, I haven’t seen one, single, solitary vampire in town.”

“Oh, these plants are protecting the city, and if we take them out, we may have vampires in here again.”

You can see the full video here, or the abridged version here.

I think this is awesome. We need to elect more guys who are concerned with the REAL issues. What’s your councilman concerned about? Zoning?

And furthermore, is someone looking into these “humans” that are complaining about the smell??
