And the winner is...

I was just checking out a site called tailrank. They list all blogs covering certain subjects, and obviously there are about a million blogs with the Kramer news. But the site that wins the award for best headline: reasonsyouwillhateme.com, for the gem...This racism is making me thirsty.

Outstanding.

Kramer's Greatest Hits

Here's another example of Michael Richards getting all worked up in front of a live audience. This incident involves Andy Kaufman and the short-lived variety show Fridays, but no audible racial slurs.

Ten Groups of Really Hardcore Fans

PlayStationFans.jpg

Charles Darwin defined his theory of evolution by natural selection as the principle by which variations of useful traits are preserved. So individuals best adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce. And if the abilty to procure a Playstation 3 was a useful trait, I'd be concerned for the 22nd century, if it weren't for the fact that I don't see a whole lot of reproducing going on with this bunch.

So why is it that certain types of people have to display their affection for certain things with such over-the top behavior. There's a comedy bit about a former softball player's declining skills that ends with...now when I play shortstop, if the ball's five feet away from me in either direction, it's a home run. That's the type of fan I am. (I think you're a good band and all, but unless you're performing in my kitchen, I'm happy just to download you off iTunes.) So it's only natural for me to look at people waiting in line for a week and think...lost a bet, huh? But no, these crazy-ass fans went through five nights of pouring rain (talk about luck) for a CHANCE to purchase a box of wires that plays a few new games because they're tired of the four million other games that already exist...makes perfect sense.

But gamers aren't the only hardcore fans out there. There's all sorts of weird behavior going on in the world, in support of celebrities, movies, sports, you name it. So I thought I'd point out ten of the larger groups, mainly because I wanted to see how many people I could piss off with just one article. But I hope no one is offended, it's all in good fun. And please note...the person writing this article went through all of high school being about half as cool as the guy who hangs out with Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles. And I don't mean Cusack. I mean the geekier one, the guy with the night vision goggles and bad skin...so consider the source. You go right on dressing like Lando Calrissian, I'll sit here on the couch writing articles that six people read...deal?

Nose Candy

hosenose-1.jpg
Hose Nose Candy comes in a nose-shaped dispenser you can actually attach to your face. The liquid candy snot can be caught in your mouth, if you are reasonably skilled. That may take practice. From the website:

God, I am getting nauseous just thinking about this thing. The candy slime actually tastes pretty good, but you have to try REAL HARD to forget it just came out of a nose.

Each package contains a nose filled with 1.06 ounces of the vile stuff. The package says the candy contains just 83 calories. But that will be reduced to virtually zero if you throw up, which is somewhat likely.


$2.49 each plus shipping. (via the Presurfer)

Top Five on Tuesday

With all the Playstation 3's and Wii's making the news, I thought I'd pay respect to the classics.

5) You can go really old school with a Pong scarf.
4) Or a bit understated with a Pacman belt buckle.
3) The rocks actually move on this Ateroids watch.
2) Nothing says retro like Space Invaders sneakers.
1) Or you can make junior his own Super Mario blanky.

Hey, what's that?

IMG_0924.jpg

I actually had a small role in the whole Playstation 3 thing last week. The company planning the release party at the Sony Building came to Jellio Design to build some props for the event.

And while we're on the subject, if any readers know anyone with similar needs, please give them our name. I don't think a finder's fee would be out of the question. (Sure, some people would call that a kickback. I call it an attention-getter)

- Kevin Smith wants to make you famous, because lately he's not doing such a great a job at it.
- The 10 best punches in movie history. Raising Arizona, Slapshot, Rocky and Mango...good list.
- Someone smashes a PlayStation 3, and all I can think is...what the hell is a douchebag comma?
- Ok Brian, I'm going to draw exactly what you're thinking about. Oh, that can't be right, can it?
- And comfortable is not a word I'd use to describe the Kramer apology on Letterman last night.

Who needs Santa?

hairyfairy.jpg
A anonymous middle-aged man they call the Hairy Christmas Fairy has been handing out money to strangers in towns across Cornwall. He’s also been spotted buying people’s lunch and giving away lottery tickets. None of the recipients seem to mind that he can't coordinate his socks with his tutu.Video also available.
