This thread in the Something Awful forums has some great motivational posters based on historical photos and events. I finally signed up for a forum account (not that I’ll necessarily post anything) but I do enjoy some of the stuff that gets posted over there.

I ran across this at eatliver.com today and I’m scared. The meeting place is about an hour from my house so theoretically I could go out there some Wednesday to see the insane people in person.

Of course there’s always the chance that it’s a nerd trap and anyone who shows up in costume will be laughed out of town, too.

And how would Centaurs fit into a Ren Faire? Even if they weren’t mythical they were from ancient Greece IIRC so they don’t really fit into the 1400s, do they?

Thanks to Mangoat for linking to this one. I’m with him, it was really well done.

Ever wonder what it would be like if Jack Bauer were a Pizza Delivery Driver instead of an agent for CTU? Between Seasons four and five of 24… Agent Jack Bauer, with aid from a former US President, faked his own death to avoid an unjust trial overseas. Unable to provide employers with his true identity, Jack Bauer succumbed to working many service industry jobs which he is, sadly, unqualified for.

It would sure be nice to have $150K laying around so  could buy the authentic George Barris-built Ecto-1 car from the first Ghostbusters movie. You can even get 144 month financing.

Did you know that the car was used in “In The Heat of the Night” (Sidney Poitier & Rod Steiger) before Barris customized it for GB?

In doing an image search in Google for that Ubuntu logo below I came across this disturbing anime-style logo for Firefox. I cry for the future of humanity. Oh wait, did I mention it’s a naked fox?

Someone pointed me to this page of Amazon product reviews written by Mister Quickly. The way he just zooms off on a tangent cracks me up. For instance in his review of The Anatomy of the Zulu Army: From Shaka to Cestshway, 1818-1879 he somehow works in this:

He laid his Pulsar Quaadrant-Ray aside, relaxing in the security of erotic congress.

Thanks to Pingmeister for finding this Toddlerpede. Even better is the Beinart International Surreal Art Collective site, it’s got lots of great stuff. More stuff by the artist Jon Beinart here.

Like the page says “If Optimus Prime were built of 100% oak instead of that wussy metal of the future, this video would be a teaser for the new Michael Bay movie.”

haha, those crazy Europeans and their stunts. Check out this jump video: http://tinyurl.com/yk4dhy

Holy body mods, this guy is totally mental. I wonder what he’s going to do with the rest of his life?
