| 02.15.01 | "Escape with Duct Tape" online catalog Entrepeneurs, Ambr and Kazi make apparel and accessories out of duct tape. Here's the FAQ. I want Ambr and Kazi on the cover of Business 2.0 or Fast Company or whatever. I want them to be the next rags-to-riches dot-com biz success story. (Not a rags-to-riches-to-rags-again success/failure story either, but a gen-u-ine r-t-r SUCCESS!) All your base are belong to us Awesome flash animation. Videogame narrative turns into cheesey techno while the theme gets hammered into your head by an endless barrage of photos. Or something. oh, a google search for "all your base are belong to us" is kind of entertaining too, in a irc/gamer in-joke way, anyway. Like this message board on Miss Jessup's Jesus Is Lord Escort Service Presents: Full Gospel Ranch Cafe. [Thanks Sam.] |

Vending Intelligence CD Vending machine Great sales video. "The Brainyvend 2000, a fully-automated computer-driven vending device... a completely self-contained, self-secure, and self-managing local store. This is how it works: the customer approaches the Brainyvend 2000 attracted irresistably by its colorful appearance, flickering light display, and the images on its video screen. The customer looks to the computer screen to receive instructions... At this point, the customer enters a state of hypnotic retail bliss..." Jun commercial by imaginary forces. film-o-typ-o-graph-i-delic. cool. here are other Jun commercials. high-fashiony hoo-ha. Left Behind, the movie i totally want to see this, mostly just to see what a Christian movie with a budget of $17-million might look like. particularly one that stars Kirk Cameron. (It didn't occur to me that he was relgious, but then again, it probably would have if I'd paid more attention to him and his hair.) Oh, and oh oh oh! The Van Impes are listed as cast members! watch all the trailers and clips and whatnot that your bandwidth will allow. i'm planning a huge party for the day of the rapture. you're all invited.

college football cereal Show allegiance to your team by shoveling down mouthfuls of cereal which is no doubt terrible, and identical in every way except for the name of the sports team on the box. Not that i'd necessarily want the ingredients of the cereal to actually relate to the teams.
[by way of a link off of cardhouse. ahhh, cardhouse.] kween japanese queen cover band. The Japanese Freddie Mercury lookalike rules bigtime. their songs sound fairly close too. i mean, a diehard Queen fan would probably disagree with me. And i don't want to get into a fight with such a fan, particularly not a fight involving broken Snapple bottles or billy clubs or ferocious animals used as weapons. [thx, xina!] top secret masonic clip art super handy if you need something fun and visual to spice up your newsletter about overthrowing a nation-state or manipulating global currency markets, etc.. especially this. but certainly this as well. |

top secret masonic clip art especially this. but certainly this as well. mr. takahashi i've been a fan of mr. takahashi for a while. now he has an explanation in english, and it's awesome. rod roddy bio on cbs.com reprint of an interview with Rod Roddy, emcee of The Price is Right (TPiR). Roddy was on Nixon's enemies list. oh, and this is great: in this article, the speaking bit Roddy does at the beginning of the show is exactly, EXACTLY the same as when I sat in the audience for TPiR. also great: Rod Roddy doing nude radio and that people have the time and energy to get upset about nude radio. Bob Barker's interview is interesting too. and also, here's a list of games on TPiR awesome. plinko! best "under construction" sign ass pennies i need cable tv, i think. holy crap, this is good. it's a bit from Comedy Central's Upright Citizens' Brigade.

Big boots for stomping through our national parks in search of oil. OIL!

[via daily radar] crazyivan.com Crazy Ivan is I guess kind of like those guys in the '80s who did late night UHF infomercials; only he sells t-shirts. He sells t-shirts that are the standardy t-shirts you see when you go to the beach. Only thing is, is these are all in Russian and extolling Capitalism. Because Capitalism is pretty punk rock in the former Soviet Union! yahoo.com Just type in something you want to find, and it comes back with pages and pages of links on the subject!

"Tell us more about the hogs that wouldn't eat the ration when the GMO crops were included. About the farmer who said ' Well, if you want your cattle to go off their feed, just switch them out to a GMO silage.'" Yes! Tell us more! |
guest columnist Owls McGee speaks Hello friends. Mister Pants is a bit preoccupied this week, so he told me, his good friend, Owls McGee, to come in and clean the house while he's gone. Lucky for you, I've decided to pop open some chips and root beer, put my feet up on the coffee table and have a big roaring party at his house, the way roaring parties are supposed to be. Who can roar the loudest, and wake up the neighbors? I have a great party trick, too, being an Owl and all. I'll eat a live field mouse, and then rotate my head 360 degrees! |

| 01.02.01 | Pink Lady article in Grand Royal by mister pants! Here's an article I wrote for Grand Royal about the '70s Japanese pop group, Pink Lady. The article just came out yesterday and I'm really excited about it. I'm kind of a crummy writer, but Ms. Mary Chen, Grand Royal's editor, did an excellent job of reworking my bad prose into something decent and lovely. Seriously, do check out the article because I put a lot of work (and love!) into it and also because I think Pink Lady's tale is a super interesting one with a lesson for all of us. Their story is worthy of a movie, or TV movie at least. space cardinal whoosh!
