Fun Stuff

Pizza Delivery

/ Shane / 2 Comments

Did you ever want to eat a pizza, but just couldn’t find the time? Said to yourself, I’ll just stop and get a bite on the way? Well now, there is no reason to have to decide between driving and eating pizza, I give you the Porta-Pizza Oven:

Might I add that it only costs $36! I’m not sure about the scale of that picture though, assuming the cigarette lighter plug thing isn’t abnormally large, that can’t be bigger than a personal pan pizza. And even then it’s sort of spilling out of the thing.

Oh well, I’m sure I could still put it to good use. If nothing else, pop tarts!

Perfect for Guest Bathrooms

I shill for ThinkGeek so much I’m waiting for a paycheck, but they just have the greatest stuff. Tell me this wouldn’t be an awesome shower curtain / bath mat set for your guest bathroom:

I also think this is a stellar idea. Basically, you can add a little extra monitor that runs off your USB port, no external power cord. So you could conceivably add as many extra monitors as you have USB ports! They’re small, but it could be good if A) you have a laptop, or B) you have a lot of them. They could also be useful to keep up certain apps like instant messenger or winamp.

Bacon Bits

What happens when you combine two great things, space invaders and bacon? You get a fantastic shirt from WOOT.com.

My favorite part was:

“I’m gonna wait for the bacon to steal my guy and then rescue him back and then I’ll have two guys at once to shoot at the… wait, then I’ll have to share my bacon.”

I was always torn if I should get my guy get captured (which seems like a failure of some sort) vs. the power of having two guys at once.

Anyway, hurry up and order, I believe you only have until the end of the day!

I’m glad everyone is thinking of me, since I received this link from Meg, Tony, and Jackie (congrats on engagement btw!)

Check back tomorrow for the regular Monday Evie update…there are things a foot! (that’s a pun, but you won’t get it until tomorrow)

SModcast

/ Shane / 1 Comment

I forget how I stumbled on this, but one of my favorite directors Kevin Smith has as podcast which goes by the name of SModcast. The name is derived from the names of the two hosts, Kevin Smith and his long time producer Scott Mosier. It is so funny that I have burst out laughing many times to the odd looks of my co-workers.

If you like Kevin Smith, and especially if you liked his “Evening With” series, I would most heartily recommend it. If, on the other hand, you have even the slightest chance to be offended, then I would most heartily NOT recommend it. In fact, I will let their own disclaimer speak for itself:

SModcast features harsh language and even harsher notions of propriety. Listener discretion is advised.

If you do have nerves of steel, you might start with the following episodes:

  1. Episode 29, Harry Scotter
  2. Episode 52, in which a discussion of great length explores what kind of powers you could get from Satan in order to fight Jesus (answer: not a whole lot)
  3. Episode 10, I think this is the one where they discuss the secret lives of chickens

There is also a great one about the awful things that happened when Kevin’s wiener dog Shecky went into heat, but I couldn’t remember which episode that was.

I think the best episodes are those with Mosier, which are about half the episodes. If Scott can’t be there, fill in host Walt Flannagan is the next best.

Snakes on a Submarine

It was bound to happen sooner or later. There were plenty of jokes about it when Snakes on a Plane came out, so you know someone was going to try to capitalize on it. And now it is here, Silent Venom:

And those aren’t just regular snakes! According to the synopsis, there are giant, mutant snakes.

I’m not surprised that the movie was made, but I am surprised that it stars Luke Perry! And not only that, but he appears to be just an assistant to the main girl. Oh Dylan, how the mighty have fallen. (Side note, I happen to notice that lukeperry.com is strangely devoid of a Silent Venom mention…)

I’m still holding out to see Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, but I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth when Hollywood* sees fit to deliver us two pieces of fine cinema.

*You know, Hollywood or Sci-fi channel, or someone’s backyard…
