He takes a weedwacker to the chest. We laugh, he doesn't. If he went a little higher it would be just thinning the herd.

Of all the facial hair variations in the world, including the hairs that grow out of moles on old ladies, none is as polarizing as the moustache.

What once was thought of a symbol of masculinity and virility, is now often associated with social degenerates, serial killers and a dude that owns a van with no windows.

What a shame that is.

I believe it's about time we, the solid, law abiding citizens of planet Earth, take the moustache back.

A reclamation of a former symbol of what it means to be a man.

Let's take back the stache.

It's called Contact Juggling and it's rather fun to watch.

Today for lunch: Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling.

If you haven't seen this, you must. It's like watching the agony of defeat over and over and over again. In other words, hilarious.

So, after all, it WAS a viral video. For Jolie's new movie Wanted. By Russians. I think....

"The Incredible Hulk" *** (out of four): Edward Norton and Marvel bring Hulk down to human-size.

Putting Ang Lee's 2003 "Hulk" film behind them, Marvel gets a do-over with "The Incredible Hulk" -- a new interpretation (not a "Hulk" sequel) of the beloved Stan Lee-created character. It's also the second film (after "Iron Man") in which Marvel has taken creative control of their own property. It's a distinction that shows. As in "Iron Man", character and story take precedence over action sequences in "The Incredible Hulk". The casting of acting heavyweight Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk also shows Marvel's commitment to bringing character development front and center. It's certainly a bold move -- but does it pay off?

Face masks aren't just for doctors, nurses, costumes, Eric Stoltz, Jim Carey or Michael Jackson anymore. Nor do they have to come in just boring white or tired old light blue.

Now they can be creepy, scary, ugly, stupid and just plain weird. Have a look.

Jerry Seinfeld once famously asked "Who would order a license plate that says 'Assman'?" It was a good question, and the answer turned out to be a proctologist.

As I got off the bus yesterday on my way home, I saw and snapped the above license plate, and again the question has to be asked - who the hell would order a license plate that says "Poopz"?

These folks put a lot of work into a clever video that was slated to take the internet by storm later this year. Alas, that dream was recently dashed, so they are throwing it out there for what it's worth. It's still clever and well done, and deserves to be seen.

Bacon Henge. For no real reason other than We Love Bacon. (Thanks, Gavin)

Our 'on-sabbatical' author Jellio makes custom Gummi Bear Lights, which I always thought was a good example of an excellent design idea that proved even better in execution.

This, on the other hand, shows what can actually go wrong in the execution of what was probably a very viable plan - Gummi Lighthouses. I think we now have another entry to add to Top Five Things that shouldn't be Gummi. (via Waxy).

Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, the bedroom, these days you can't get away from the art of flopping. Ben Schwartz gives us some insight into the world of professional flopping.

"The Happening" ** (out of four): Writer-director M. Night Shyamalan's eco-thriller starts with a clever premise and degenerates into spooky atmospherics, portentous pacing and stiff dialogue.

It all starts in Central Park. People begin speaking gibberish, repeating themselves. Then they stop in their tracks and slowly walk backward. After that, it gets ugly - the less said about that the better. This sequence of events, which concludes with an uncomfortably familiar scene at a construction site, provides the chilling opening to "The Happening", the latest puzzling and puzzle-y thriller from famously secretive writer-director M. Night Shyamalan. As the posters proclaim, this film marks the twist-meister's first foray into R-rated territory, and it's clear from these disturbing opening images that he means to take advantage of that freedom. So then, why does what's happening in "The Happening" feel so goofy?
