Yanni, demonic bunnies, and mummified babies Posted by zann @ 1:37 PM
  • Revolution has a new name! - Wii? *smacks forehead* wii wii wii all the way home to the graveyard of consoles that screwed themselves over. ok, i tried to make a joke but was too annoyed to be funny.
  • Yanni In Domestic Violence Bust - SEE! he SHOULD die!!1!
  • Police Find Heirloom is Mummified Baby - prop that right up on the mantle, honey
  • Help Win this Bet - okay, if this guy gets 2 million hits, he will win a bet with his girlfriend, and she will honor his fantasy for a menage a trois. no dirty pictures here. btw, he still hasn't found the 2nd girl to participate, so this is probably moot...
  • Find People game - where's Waldo? :(
  • The Star Wars traveler - not news, but i learned more useless trivia. this guy went around and took pictures of places used in the filming of A New Hope. i did not know Tatooine was the actual name of a place.
  • Wild Boyz vs A Bunch of Lions - HAHAHA EEEEEEdiots
  • Pig Escape game - you click the pig, then move your mouse to guide it along the narrow path. i'm even worse at this than i am at Monkey Ball, but i like it cuz the piggy looks like he's cursing ^^
  • Demonic Bunnies statue - reason #128947 to go to Ireland. and if you look closely you can see a toilet seat and a model of the Millennium Falcon... no, wait, that's the MST3K set.

Magicians in the news!

David Copperfield tricks robbers
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) -- David Copperfield has magically escaped getting robbed.

The 49-year-old illusionist was walking with two female assistants to their tour bus after his show Sunday at a performing arts center when four teens pulled up in a black car, a police report said.

Two armed robbers allegedly got out of the car and demanded the group's belongings. One woman handed over $400 from her pockets and the other gave up her purse with 200 euros, $100, her passport, plane tickets and a cell phone. Copperfield refused to empty his pockets, the report said.

Copperfield says he turned his pockets inside out to reveal nothing in them, even though he was carrying his passport, wallet and cell phone.

"Call it reverse pickpocketing," Copperfield told The Palm Beach Post for Wednesday's editions.

Copperfield read the license plate number of the car to an assistant while she called 911, the report said.

Four teenagers were arrested and charged with armed robbery. They were held without bond, police said. The women's property was recovered.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALSO! The coolest man in the whole world will be defying death again next week.

Drowned Alive will take place in Lincoln Square in NYC where David will live inside a "human aquarium" from May 1st - May 8th. The grand finale will occur when he attempts to break the world record for longest time spent submerged in water with no oxygen (EIGHT MINUTES AND FIFTY-NINE SECONDS)!

The man is crazy, or has a death wish. I love him. A link to his website, because it's just too fun not to look at at least once. David Blaine

We're going green....... Posted by Amy @ 3:15 PM
Yellow? Oh Hell no!

Growing up I always thought my dad was the smartest man in the world. This mainly stemmed from the fact that he knew EXACTLY when the red light was going to change to green while we were driving.

For the longest time I thought it was because he's an electrician, and electricians just know these things. Then I grew up a bit and realized his knowledge must have something to do with the fact that he was born and raised in this town and so therefore had sat at every stop light in town at least a million times. A person's bound to learn how long each light is after that many years in one place.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that the sneaky old man was just watching the OPPOSITE light turn yellow, and knew that soon, oh so very soon, our red light must turn green.

But perhaps I was wrong all along. Dad, is there something you need to tell me??

Love bugs (Plecia Nearctica ~ Nemesis Riduclii)

These creatures are quite colorful and can often be seen multiplying (as seen here) in numbers that are equal to or surpass those of biblical locusts in the lower 48 states of our nation.



Now that I'm a new car owner living in a southern state, this causes me great concern. It is almost love bug season..... RABBIT SEASON! DUCK SEASON! NO!! I said LOVE BUG SEASON!

It seems that this woman (apparently some type of forest ranger) is quite proud of her bug coated vehicle. I'm not so sure I find anything about this image worth smiling over.


I am currently contemplating buying a car cover, and cutting out spaces for the windshield and windows so that I can see while driving. Thus avoiding the horrible effects caused after driving through swarms of the nasty little critters. The worst part is, they work just like bologna. If you leave love bugs on your car for an extended period of time, they'll eat the paint right off!



This link is only for those who are strong of stomach. An EXTREME case of love bug splat!

StarWarsShop.com - Custom Shirts Posted by zann @ 8:30 AM
StarWarsShop.com - Custom Shirts

there's a new line of Star Wars geekware: "custom" shirts. you can scroll through galleris of artwork to put on a shirt, then pick from a ton of colors, styles, and sizes (even girl shirts). then you can add text (preselected phrases, shucks, so no "Jabba makes me hot" or "Gungans, the other white meat") or your name (also preselected, so i'm out of luck unless i go with Zanette) or a number (?). then you can pick the font styles and even position the art & text. many spiffy choices.

to be honest, i really just got extremely excited when i saw "Chewbacca Gallery" in print.

PASTA POWER! Posted by zann @ 6:17 PM

believe it or not, the complete series of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show was just released on dvd. i remember the show surprisingly well. my inner child is busy wetting herself in excitement, so i will simply list what the package includes:
  • four discs..there were like 25 episodes!!?!?
  • a new interview with Captain Lou Albano, omfg
  • no other signifant special features, but what do you want? they actually put this fabulous atrocity on dvd!
  • ridiculous and sometimes horrifically racist Italian puns
  • cameos by celebrities, most of which i do not remember whatsoever
  • the amazingly unappropriate voice for Toad that has haunted my dreams since 1989
  • so many mustaches
  • canned laughter that never seems to be released at the right time or sound close to being real
  • music and sound effects from the game inserted at random during both the live and animated segments
  • an amazing sense of completeness in the fact that they included the irrelevant commercial bumpers
  • the theme song. DO THE MARIO!!1!
  • cross promotions for the Legend of Zelda series, also out on DVD in all it's excuuuuuuuuse-me-princess glory in case you didn't know
  • Princess Peach and her lifeless eyes
  • all your "favorite" characters from Mouser to Ninjis
  • plungers


okay, now i'm ready for the Captain N dvds. was there a giant talking Game Boy character or did i make that up?

Favorite Star Wars Games Posted by Mr Awesome @ 4:03 PM
5: Star Wars Shadows of the Empire: I could never afford to buy video games when N64 was out, but I somehow managed to acquire a copy for an extended period of time. The graphics were good, gameplay was really good, story kinda sucked.
4: Star Wars Rogue Squadron: The first one on N64 rocked. It really could have used some game play improvements.
3: Star Wars Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader: First Death Star level rocked my socks! That was an awesome level.
2: Star Wars Battlefront II: I haven't played the first one, but the second one rocks! I'm almost about to beat it. The gameplay is great on the PSII, the story is really, really, really, gooooooooddddd, and you fight alongside wookies with Master Yoda, need I say more?
1: Star Wars Rebellion: I'm really into strategy games, 6 years after I first played it, I still average 10 hours a month on Star Craft. When I found out about a Star Wars Strategy game I was naturally drawn to it, and in spite of my slow computer which could barely run it, I still endured hours of painstaking death star building and Vader assasination attempts. Favorite Star Wars game ever.

On the Horizon: Sometime this summer or possibly next fall (If I don't save enough) I'm going to finally build my own PC. Its going to be super powerful. On the top of my PC list is playing Star Wars Empire At War, and I'll update the list then.
