Endorsements 2008

Chimps on Segways

I'd hit it...

If I were single, of course. Too bad McSame didn't choose Michael Palin. I might have voted that ticket.

More LOLRocco

I'm probably behind on this but I see that fd's flickr toys has a LOL(blank) generator. Better than my quick photoshop jobby down below.



Ok, it's not that funny...

Better than making license plates

Another hat tip to Boing Boing, "Thriller" reenacted by a couple hundred prisoners in the Philippines. My people certainly know how to make lemonade from kalamansi.



I love the ladyboy/prison bitch playing the part of Michael's date. One minor point, Boing Boing, it's "Filipino," not "Philippino."

Return of the Dorks

Hat tip to the Blogometer...starwars.com scores an interview with Mr. Hair, Conan O'Brien. Some highlights:

Which Star Wars film is your all-time favorite and why?

As a real aficionado, my true favorite is the obscure, never released Episode 2A: The Passive-Aggressive Email Chain of the Sith.

Obviously you have the best hair in our galaxy, but which Star Wars character has the best hair and why?

Chewbacca -- George Lucas revealed to me personally that Chewie has one massive comb-over that starts at his lower back.

Which character do you identify with the most in the entire Star Wars saga and why?

Princess Leia -- because I almost made out with my brother once, too.

May be a good time to revisit the classic Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's visit with the Star Wars fans in line to see Episode 1.

More than meets the eye

Fucking awesome.

"Pining for the fee-ords?"

Tip o' the hat to BoingBoing:

In this youtube, two West African scam artists are duped into re-creating Monty Python's famous "Dead Parrot" sketch. The men sent a "419" email to a scam-baiter (someone who tries to humiliate and waste the time of rip-off artists) who told them he was in a position to give large cash grants to promising film-makers, and advised them that the application process required applicants to submit their own Dead Parrot Sketch.

The thing is, these guys are actually pretty funny. They're certainly better at being comedians than they are at being rip-off artists.

We just received this report and photos of a massive First Goatse that was deployed yesterday at the San Francisco Apple Store during Macworld 2007. First Goatse is project where people are shown the infamous Goatse image and then their reactions are photographed. This is the first known instance of a First Goatse of this magnitude.

Check out the Flickr First Goatse pool for some more hijinks. High-larious!
