Waxy Fireworks
It seems like I have been paying attention to nothing but 'collage painting' lately. I posted something about shoestring paintings, I saw this really great collection of things done with balloons (for instance)…
… and Nickropolis recently sent me a link about a guy doing matchstick sculptures (i forget his name and stuff, but it was from an article in the daily mirror, i think. Now, here is something with crayons. Why the hell not, right? It's fun to look at, and especially fun to know that this guy's title is Director of Collaborative Technologies in the Arts at Denison University in Granville Ohio. You know, the famed DCTADUGO (or, Dicta Dugo to initiates) post, probably famous in certain esoteric collaborative arts circles. Here is one:
It reminds me that I recently saw some new Lite-Bright kits for sale online. Im pretty sure it was from a Japanese company, as was the original more than likely. I would guess it was Hasbro. I will not be checking into that information, so if I am wrong then screw you.

Less Than Original
Neeett surfers watch funny joke videos all the time, so I never feel like I bring anything new to the table when I post/send links to funny joke videos. If I had any sort of motivation to make videos they probably would not be very funny jokes, even if I laughed a lot to myself in the dark when I am all alone.
I really like outdated commercials though. Louie the Lightning Bug is not really outdated just awesome, and his songs are timeless and educationally relevant even to today's wired-up mobile-on-the-go-to-the-future kids. Not so relevant are hip-hop/rap-themed commercials made and starring guys who were obviously out of touch and irrelevant even when they were current.
This video combines the funny joke of rapping commercial with one of my other favorite things, Unfortunately Awkward Store Names. Gas stations are the kings of the bad names (eg, 'Kum & Go', 'Pump & Munch', 'Toot 'N Totem', etc), though I did used to run ads for an old guy small town appliance store called 'S&M Appliances'. Maybe they got the funny joke, maybe not. Anyway, check out this video for Moo and Oink:
It was all pretty straightforward in its weirdly comedic, excitable view of wanting different kinds of meat, until the prolonged 'Moooooooo and Oiiiiiink' squeal at the end.
I dont want to build up this next one too much, because I am sure it is a funny joke commercial staple and I dont want to sound like I discovered it. Its funny, and it keeps gettin funnier, every SINGLE TIME I SEE IT! NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOURE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY! NOW WHADDYOU THINK?!?!? You think I'm qualified?
Oh yeah: after I showed the above 'mini..... mmmall' video to my girlfriend she insisted that I find the eagle insurance commercials she remembers from the Chicagoland area. I was super impressed of course, and am jealous of anyone who is involved in the production of these excellent projects.
This isnt the best video quality of available Eagleman videos, but it is superior because it is obviously a later edit with a high quality egg-dumping animation, and the eagleman landing in traffic animation that comes at the end during the low-rate pitch. Completely worth it. Oh, and they obviously reshot the 'I've got something for you' to be less creepy. Compare and contrast at your leisure.

Snowy night pizza
Wall projection football on a super snowy night at the 'actors' pizza place. A cold beer never hurts.
