Merit Badges For Geeks
So there's this thing...the Order of the Science Scouts Of Exemplary Repute and Above Average Physique. These excellent folks have developed a system of merit badges for the science worthy. I highly suggest you look through and see how many you've earned so far. I've got about 21, with an error of +/- 2. What about you?
This little device is a pencil sharpener. You, um, insert the pencil in the...uh...cat's rear. And it meows as it sharpens.
Best thing is that I remember seeing this in a book called 101 Things To Do With A Dead Cat which my evil high school self gave to a friend after his cat died. I know, I'm evil.
Oh those Danish! Crazy kids. Some people like to jump horses. Dogs have agility contests. What about the furry litle rabbits? What do they get to do? Yeah, they jump. So let's make a contest around it. Losers go into stew.
Not sure exactly who this guy is, and i'm really not going to research it, but you should watch him. He's a, uh, small version of bond. If bond was a filipino little person. And he still kicks ass and gets the chix.
But they're having a damn fine time. A-Dancin' and a-singin'. A-spinnin' and a-lipsyncin'. Just like a bunch of college kids. And they're even humorous.
So you think because you've got two legs you can dance? I don't think so. Hell, I've got two legs and I know I can't dance (not that I need them...I've been told i'm a 'shoulder' dancer). Anywho, here's a guy with one leg that can dance like hell.
Well, the deed is done. And it was done in pure class. That's right, ain't nothing classier than singing a killer duet of Lady Marmalade and then ending it on one knee with a rock in a box (different than other things in a box, but that would have been damn funny). First video is just the proposal, the one below is the whole song and proposal. You can view some pictures here.
I really am not sure what to say about this. It all started from a Colbert-esque fear of bears (stemming from a bear attack at age 19), and he's since spent a lifetime and large sums of money developing body armour. This is his latest. Wow. Just. Wow.
Halloween is just around the corner. And by just around the corner, i mean 7 months away. I've never been a big costume guy, but i know there are folks who live and die by this holiday. For the geekiest among us, may I recommend Transformers:
