Green Lantern's LIGHT!

It's happening. News right HERE

Okay, but another "origin" story? Really DC? Is that the way to go?

Anyone else tired of the origin stories? Let's just start with the superhero, in existence and doing his/her thing. Let's have a comic-book story, with everyone in costume from the beginning to the end, no "human interest" rubbish. That's the way it's done.

Hollywood, are you listening? How about you, DC?

Didn't think so.

However, this Fan Trailer ROCKS!

Merry Christmas Everybody

This is my best present to you. How much do I love this? Very much.

It made me smile until I teared up. I loved it so.

I hope you love it too. Merry Christmas.

Cute Things Falling Asleep

Oboy oboy oboy oboy oboy!

I love finding things like this. It just doesn't get any better than Cute Things Falling Asleep! They are cute. They fall asleep!

Awwwww!

Start with this sloth, and then mosey over to the website and enjoy the full cuteness!

Tesla Coil Guitar Fail

Okay, what if I told you there was a guy who had two Tesla Coils that throw out sparks three-feet long?

What if I told you he hooked his guitar up to it, so that the sparks were thrown whenever he played?

What if I told you he played Thunderstruck, by AC/DC?

Sounds like a winner, right?

Nope. EPIC FAIL!

Great idea, guitar guy, but, um, LEARN TO PLAY! Or get your friend who can play to do it for you.

If this were my video, I would take it down. It sucks so bad.

When you have an idea this great, it's hard to screw it up. He managed.

10 guys, 12 days

Okay, the title sounded bad, but it's just an a capella group.

A friend told me about these guys - an absolutely unique take on the twelve days of Christmas. Very talented, pretty funny, and a lot of work put into the act. Apparently the other stuff by them is good too, but I didn't browse it all. Sorry about two videos in a row, but it's Christmas, you know. You have to expect a lot of Christmas stuff.

Unless I was Jewish, or Muslim. Or a profound atheist. But I'm not.

Well, enjoy the video.

Merry Christmas, Everybody!

Cute animals! Singing! Snow!

What else could you ask for? Lips? We got 'em! Saxophones? Got those too! British accents? Yup.

Well, just give this a gander. You will probably like it. I know I did.

P.S. I tagged a lot of animals I wasn't sure were in the video, but who looks at those anyway?

Weezer, Pork and Beans

This is Weezer's video, "Pork and Beans."

I'm not allowed to embed it, so the links are here, above here, and on the picture to the right.

It has many familiar internet stars in it.

It is fun.

Watch it.

Of course, the Barenaked Ladies did it first.

And they let me embed themselves.

So I bet they get more views.

Whatever.

Contact Juggling

People have all kinds of talents and skills. This is a strange one.

Now, I can juggle. You know, throwing three balls up and catching them as I throw up the next one. Juggling.

This ain't juggling. This is witchcraft. It is evil, poisonous, witchy witchcraft. Or something.

Okay, it's just skill. No wires. No helium. No spinning. Just some guy fooling with your mind.

I so love it when people fool with my mind.

Enjoy.

Counterstrike: Haunted Mansion

I like the Haunted Mansion, it's one of my favorites at Disney. But this, this is insane love.

I'm not familiar with Counterstrike (I know, a blogger who doesn't know EVERYTHING???), but apparently it has a level editor. So someone constructed the Haunted Mansion. With a pretty high level of detail.

Personally I would have put a Goofy with dripping fangs, or Chip and Dale running across the floor at your feet, but then again, I wouldn't have attempted this.

And I thought I spent a lot of time on worthless pursuits! Well done, fellow time-waster!

Maru, the scottish fold cat!

ANOTHER CUTE VIDEO??? OH YEAH!!!

Those who know me know I like funny cat videos more than I like the French or Solar Furnaces.

So look out for Maru, the fat Japanese Scottish Fold cat with mad, er, something skills to tickle you! He can sure jump in a box! Watch the finishing leg position! EXCELLENT!

Here is the link to his owner's Channel. You can watch all of Maru's videos. Watch him drink! Watch him lie in a sink! Watch him jump in more boxes! Watch him walk around with a bag on his head!

EXCELLENT! http://www.youtube.com/user/mugumogu#

Baby Pigmy Hippo!

Comment from Cute Overload! :)

"Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

How on EARTH are those women silently washing him/her??? There should be massive amounts of squee-ing, bathy-bath sounds, scubbity-ubbity-chubbity commentary, etc. They are...stoic! [and lucky!!!]"

Super Mario Bros. 2 theme, gypsy-jazz style

Okay, okay, it's a three-link day. I try not to love-bomb you, but for my kids, this is EXACTLY what Papa used to sound like back before arthritis set in.

The fact that it is a Mario Bros theme is just a bonus.

Melting steel with solar power

Clip from James May's Big Ideas where bunch of hippies burn and melt stuff with their 'solar furnace', oh and it has something to do with making petrol out of thin air.


Those of you who know me know I love the solar furnace. This one's from a British show, and it shows the awesome potential for melting steel with Solar furnaces.

Lovin' the solar furnace.

CNN Hologram - Television first!

Election, smelection. Did anybody see this? It's amazing!

Holographic technology? You're KIDDING me! But I guess CNN isn't.

I had no idea we were at this point, technology-wise.

Can I order an R2 unit?

How could she resist bending over and saying "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope?" That would have been EPIC.

Spagetti Cat

Here's what happens when you say something bad on Fox Morning Show. They not only bleep it, they cover the entire ugly incident with a picture of a black cat eating spaghetti. Really.

Expect this to be a major internet phenomenon. And possibly the geeky-coolest Halloween costume this year.

FIFA Street 3

Virguerías, regates, tiros, el espectáculo llevado a las mas altas cotas en FIFA STREET 3

In case you don't read Spanish, it means, watch out 'cause some CRAZY futbol (soccer) skills are coming on your computer. Look out! You ABSOLUTELY won't believe it.

Thunderstruck by Gordon Duncan

My Daughter turned me on to this. It's amazing.

First, he's Piping. Incredibly. Fast.

And Perfectly.

And he's doing it playing AC/DC's Thunderstruck.

Could it be better?

A clue.

No.

The Darkness of Toys

Here's a Toy Story/Dark Knight trailer mash-up. Me like.
