Machete Slingshot

If you are worried about dealing with zombies as many people are these days, then here is the do-it-yourself project for you. This video shows you how to build a machete slingshot! Seriously, some people have far too much time on their hands. You should probably build a birdhouse instead - you'd get much more use out of it.  However, if you are going to star in a zombie movie...

Are the Destroyed Russian ATM Machines a Sign of the Zombie Apocalypse?

Russian ATMs Now On High-Alert

I always try to smile for the ATM camera whenever I make a withdrawal; it is, afterall, important for a girl to look her best whenever she's getting her picture taken. The Russian skinhead who has now annihilated two innocent ATM machines, however, keeps his face covered for rather obvious reasons.

I wonder how he was able to run around without anyone noticing that he was carrying around an axe. Maybe it’s a normal thing in Russia?

Stupid Man Came To America

An Iraqi immigrant who came to America, came to the state of Arizona, and in the course of time he murdered. He murdered his grown daughter. Why? What was his reason? Because he thought she had become too Westernized? Stupid reason! Stupid man!

He was sentenced this afternoon, Friday, to thirty four years in state prison. And?

Is that all he got?

If a stupid man kills his daughter and it is called a honor killing. Whose honor? His? What honor has he? He is a cold blooded murderer.

Thirty four years is a long sentence, but wouldn't justice had better been served if the sentence was life?

Stupid fathers shouldn't come to America, if they don't want their kids to become Westernize. Stupid father should stay away. Freedom is not for them

And how did this stupid man kill his daughter?

Water Pistol Fight!

Water pistol fight! Okay the kid in me grabbed me by the eye balls. My eyes laid on the plasticware of the combatants and I couldn't help myself. I wished I was there at the biggest gathering of people, with a water gun, who were out to make fools of themselves and have fun, at the world's biggest water pistol fight ever,

Yesterday, Thursday, according to the Associated Press, a Guinness world record crowd of 3,477 participated in the water pistol fight, spraying each other for ten minutes, in the capitol city Bangkok,Thailand, during the Thai New Year's Celebration. The previous Guinness world record for the largest water pistol fight was 2,671 participants for an event in Valladolid, Spain.

Prince Turned Away?

There is an item on the Internet that the small "d' democrat in me makes me want to smile. But the skeptic in me makes me wonder: What's the real story? Is this a game? Prince William, the bloke who is soon to marry Miss Kate, was turned away from his favorite restaurant because there was no room to seat him.

Well, maybe if the Prince was alone, with a few bodyguard and a few reporters who stood out of the way? Maybe he could have been squeezed in? But he showed up with a group of twenty four and the restaurant was already packed? I know of a few restaurants in good old, liberal, democratic, DC, USA, where room would have been found. If the owners had to hand out free meal tickets for a later night, room would have been made for the prince.

Commodore 64 Returns!

And it's better than ever. No, really!

The Commodore 64 computer, first released in 1982, is back!

Sort of. In the current obsession with retro geek culture—perhaps best epitomized by the popularity of not only the Tron re-make, but the original Tron, Commodore USA, LLC is releasing a retro re-make of the Commodore 64.

The beige somewhat thick-and-chunky looking keyboard is back— only this time, it contains an entire computer. There's an exceedingly modern HDMI port, allowing users to connect to an HDTV/monitor, and an option to add on a combination Blu-Ray and DVD drive.

The Tiger takes the big show, Schwartzel takes the win.

At the Masters --The King of Golf remains the King of Golf

Yesterday, Sunday, South African golfer, Charl Schwartzel, won the Master by two shot. Second mentioned in the golfing news, after the name of the winner, was Tiger Woods. The Associated Press noted, " Tiger Woods finished in a group four off the lead." The 2011 Tiger is not the old Tiger, roaring in with the wins, But as long as he is near the front of the pack and not trailing in the dismal downs, fans can hear him roaring, no matter how faint, and all is right in the world of golf. Fans know the Tiger is there.

Rickrolling the Entire Oregon State Legislature

The Democratic member of Oregon's House of Representatives hatched the plot early in February 2010 with his spouse. Their goal: To Rickroll the entire Oregon State legislature, in collusion with their colleagues, all sixty, even divided between both parties.

Rickrolling began as an Internet meme involving getting someone to click on a link that they think is pertinent to the topic at hand, but in fact is a video of the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up." Like many such memes, Rickrolling was a product of 4Chan.

Some Australian Retailers Now Charging for Fitting Rooms

Hello, Australia. Have you gone completely insane? First you made it illegal for women in the porn industry to have small breasts—not normally a high crime in most countries in the world. Then you managed to pass a law allowing bored and/or horny customs officials to search computers for porn. Now, some stores in Australia are charging their customers to use the fitting rooms. If a customer buys an item in the store, the charge, which is as high as $50 in some cases, is then refunded to the customer.

Is this a good business practice? Does this even make any sense at all?

Bigfoot

Do I believe that the legendary Bigfoot, a furry man-beast, or beast-man, yay tall, that is out in the woods roaming around? In woods of California? North Carolina? the Ukraine? Do I believe in a good ghost story? Ghost? Yes, hasn't Bigfoot been as elusive as a ghost?

Old Bigfoot or Sasquatch has been popping up on You Tube and lately on mainstream TV and cable news, which has so many hours to fill. And video pictures of old Bigfoot are no clearer than the blurry pictures of ghosts, and just as short. And like a lot of ghosts are people in bed sheet, right? Old Bigfoot is a man in a gorilla suit? Right?

But damn. You Tube videos of Bigfoot rack up a million clicks at a pop, so there's a whole lot more interest in seeing him than in seeing a ghost

Bacon Cologne? Something Only A Swine Would Wear?

A Subtle Gift for The Boss?

Bacon Cologne? A company has introduced a bacon cologne and it is selling. And it is not being used by farmers to improve the scent of their hog pens, with a little floral a-do-o for their pigs. It is for human use, to be sprayed on men.

Bacon Cologne? I don't believe it? What's going to come of us? Cologne from bacon scent? Heaven help us. When is the world suppose to end? What's that date again? Sometime next year?

Well, maybe I am too much in the 20th century? Bacon is pork and pork makes me sick. My objection to bacon is not based on religion, but on health issues. Bacon is fatty. Bacon is full of the stuff that is not good for the body. Bacon increases high blood pressure. Bacon is not a good food But as a cologne scent? It stinks

Chicago Loves Charlie?

Charlie Sheen got booed Saturday night in Detroit and on Sunday night, got cheered in Chicago, the second stop of his month-long, twenty city variety show tour, "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is not an Option" In Chicago, Charlie put more emphasize on the last part of his show's title "Defeat is not an Option." Charlie Sheen changed the show, dropped some of the violent torpedos, in the dressing room, left them off the stage. The reviews are all saying the same thing, that the show wasn't super but it satisfied the Charlie Sheen fans, who hadn't come to see a work of entertainment art but to be amused by a BS artists at work.

Pillow Fight Anyone?

The International Pillow Fight Day. Yay!

Yesterday, Saturday April 2nd 2011, was International Pillow Fight Day. Yes, a day after April Fools Day. Was somebody trying to tell somebody something? Calling for a gathering of -- not fools, but a gathering for fun. The were massive pillow fights in cities, in places, around the world! Like there were massive pillow fights in 2008, 2009 and 2010.So this wasn't a sudden breakout of early spring madness, for those in the Northern Hemisphere, and early fall fanaticism for those in the Southern Hemisphere.

International Pillow Fight Day is organized by The Urban Playground Movement which wants to encourage people to make use of public spaces. The Associated Press reports that organizers of the International Pillow Fight Day says there were massive pillow fights in 130 cities.

The Internet Shows Charlie Its Love

The Internet Wags via Twitter didn't take long to offer up their opinions on Charlie Sheen and his self torpedoed show in Detroit last night, Saturday, which is being called on the Internet, 'a complete disaster' Charlie was booed, The audience demanded their money back.

The wags can always be counted on to make pertinent, relevant?, applicable comments on a particular matter, or on important and not so important, well, on unimportant events.

I guess Charlie Sheen has a reality check in Detroit.. Should he say loser?

I'm sure Charlie Sheen will be fine. Things go better with Coke. Winning?

Charlie Has No Clothes

Ever hear of the tale, "The Emperor Has No Clothes?" Charlie Sheen has no clothes. E! News reports,"Charlie Sheen opens the circus but his tent collapses amid boos."

Anger /angst can be an act, but it is not mass entertainment. Words from a chaotic mind do not bear the fruit of wisdom but the spores of chaos.

Saturday night and live too, Charlie Sheen went out on the stage at the Fox Theater in Detroit. Had he come to fox folks? This was the opening night of his "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option" tour. What was his plan? Why did he open in the old "murder capitol"? Was his aim to murder his critics with his brilliance?
