Thanks to Google Maps, merry pranksters can pull stunts like this.

Reminds me of this prank from earlier in the year.

Some folks believe this here penis shirt is one of the most offensive shirts money can buy. (I added the pixilation to make the front page SFW.)

So if you think it is offensive, do not scroll through this list.

There's 19 more that are worse and more tasteless.

PS - {NSFW}

I'm a huge fan of Nine Inch Nails and alot of their videos are highly creative (i.e. Only). I honestly don't know if this is the official video for the song Discipline (from The Slip) but it's funny as hell to watch (albeit slightly gay in a Village People way). Thanks Trent for the good times and hopefully we'll see Nine Inch Nails reappear somewhere down the road!

I've never been a super die-hard spookhouse fan, but I must admit, I've always wanted to go check out one of these crazy-ass Fundamentalist Christian Hell Houses at Halloween...especially one with actors that say "hoochie mama."

Actually, the Monster is technically named "Gossamer." If anyone cared...

This is keeping with a little impromptu series this week. The thought being to take a few minutes during your lunch for some childish Halloween memories. Couple visuals from happier times when we didn't have bills and crap. Just the thought of what am I going to wear trick or treating and how much candy will I score? Man, I have come a long way since those days.

This edition is the best of the "scary" Bugs Bunny shorts, Hair-Rising Hare. Released in 1946, this gem hits a few of the classic horror themes. Dark, empty night. Creepy castle. Mad scientist and homemade monster that needs a Flowbee.

Hilarity ensues.



2 more treats to come...

Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network has given the believers a stern warning about Halloween. All of this frivolity is evil. Candy corn? Evil. Carving jack-o-lanterns? May as well be carving cancer-stricken orphans. Enjoying a piping hot mug of apple cider? That's the witch's brew served at the Devil's temperature!

There's a few amazing revelations is this piece. Such as:

During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches

.
Interesting. These witches must be an organized bunch with a lot of free time on their hands/claws. What with all the stealing of candy from manufacturers, poisoning or cursing the treats and sneaking the bags back onto supermarket shelves. And keep the stories out of the newspapers. Diabolical.

We are taught that

During Halloween, time-released curses are always loosed. A time-released curse is a period that has been set aside to release demonic activity and to ensnare souls in great measure.

This can be done through the ditstribution of cursed candy! Your 5-year-old may unwittingly be the carrier of a demon to your candy-loving neighbors. He's like Damien in The Omen!

It's my suggestion that you hole up in the cellar until the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is on. That's the signal for all clear.

ADDENDUM: It appears we weren't the only ones mocking Mr. Robertson and his possessed candy crusade. Due to high traffic, or perhaps a shot of common sense, the page has been taken down. Apparently the bewitched candy epidemic has been averted.

John Trumbull's "The Death of General Mercer at the Battle of Princeton" gets a pop culture upgrade.

The Original.

And the 2009 version.

"Imagine if the Headless Horseman had a headless horse? That would be f@#&in' chaos."

During your liquid lunch today (I know what you're up to, rascals), maybe you take a couple minutes for a little All Hallows Eve reminiscing.

In 1958 Disney produced the animated masterpiece The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. A whimsical retelling of the classic Washington Irving short story. (I highly recommend reading that. I won't take you very long. It's incredible.)

The chase scene with the Horseman trying to cut off poor Echowood's Ichabod's head is one of the finest pieces of animation you'll ever see.



Ah, memories...

Did You Know: Sleepy Hollow High School are The Horseman?!? That's their mascot. Amazing. We were just the stupid Eagles.

While at work today, rocking out to some NOFX, I remembered this video and felt like the Loyal 77 needed a shot of punk today. Enjoy this little slice of blasphemy...

Meet the recently discovered Fruitadens haagarorum. A teacup dinosaur that stood only 4 inches tall and weighed about as much as a guinea pig. Scientists say the little bugger would have been "like a roadrunner on steroids." Darting around at terrific speeds, running circles around much larger predators.

I want one.

So, mad scientists that are trying to make Michael Crichton's books become reality, clone this little guy. Come on, just do it. These mini-dinos would be the best selling pet in the world. Plus, we could race them. Tell me that wouldn't be the funnest thing in the history of ever. Miniature dinosaur races! Oh man, it's all I can think about.

Please, scientists, get to work. I'll keep the cage clean and everything.

I would name my pet Fruitadens haagarorum Jehosaphat.

With the riveting news coverage of Balloon Boy from last week, it was bound to eventually bleed over into a historical reference.  Enjoy this moment from Cyanide & Happiness

 

A little sweet death

Before Halloween.

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something."
Plato

Twitter is the gremlin of social networking sites. It started off cute, cuddly and with the ability to coo beautiful music. But the masses did not follow the rules of the wise old Chinese guy. He warned us sternly, but millions fed the thing after midnight and dumped water on Twitter and she transformed into a hideous, mischievous rascal. Complete with a Mohawk and a love of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Down in the lab - you know, like Dr. Dre with a pen and a pad - I have been developing a theory. The Twitter/Levels of Narcissism Theory.

Meaning that there are a couple indicators that can tell you just how much of a narcissist a Twitter user is.

This isn't a condemnation of the Twitter full stop. It may not be for me, but it serves a purpose. If ... properly used. We were given the President Obama calls Kanye a jackass story because of Twitter. That was fun.

The most fun little kids have with Barbies is when they cut all their hair off, mangle the limbs, and place them in compromising positions. The only kids who don't do this are kids who don't have Barbie dolls. Some folks never outgrow this kind of fun: witness the 7th Annual Altered Barbie Exhibit, which took place last month in San Francisco. Artists from all over exhibited Barbie dolls in all manner of unspeakable scenarios. Oh, they may be unspeakable, but you can see them displayed in this post. Many images NSFW.

According to the folks at Digital Inspiration, if you have an old Unix computer, you can use a simple code to run a program that automatically opens and closes the CD Rom drive.

Add a string, like in this video, and you've got an automatic baby rocker.

Okay, so maybe it's not practical or a long term solution. But it's damn sure unique.
