Release The Balls

Kinetic sculpture "The Octapult" uses 8 synchronized catapults in which 160 plastic balls per minute are launched, caught, and recirculated. (via PopGive)

It reminds me a bit of Animusic, the computer-generated animation series of fantastical, complex self-playing musical instruments. Specifically, it makes me think of "Pipe Dream" as seen below.

Suspect Is Considered Armed And Delicious

Tumblr user Rusty Redenbacher has started a campaign for people to send bags of Skittles to the Sanford Police Department.

You Put Too Many Monopoly Houses In The Guacamole

I've posted on the surreal-yet-charming animations by PES, the nom de guerre of Adam Pesapane on a couple of occasions previously (here, and here). The new one, "Fresh Guacamole" is making me a bit peckish for, of all things, dice and light bulbs.

Beware, all you Amateur Corn Parers. Beware...

Really, if you're not ready to bring your "A" Corn-Paring-Game to the Pro Circuit, then don't even bother, pal. You come into this sport unprepared and that Old Gray Specter of Infection is gonna take your lunch every time.

Every. Damn. Time.

Perhaps my favorite Galaxy Quest quote ever.

I Hear Tell That Brad Loves To Go Swimmin' With Bow-Legged Wimmin

Remember the Oscars last weekend? Myself, I didn't watch them because about the only part I enjoy is when they show all the show biz folks who died over the past year. But anyway... apparently Angelina Jolie showed (quite) a bit of (one) leg during her presentation. And a fine leg it is! So why stop at one?

A few pics of the real deal, and one that answers the question, "What if Angelina had flashed both her gams?"

Et Toi

Happy Mardi Gras, all. Shorpy has a giant (click to embiggenate) street photo of Mardi Gras 1907. You know, I heard if you gave a lady some beads back then, she would pull up her sleeves above the wrist. Ooh la la!

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - The Ecstasy of Dancing Fleas (1981)

One of my favorite tracks from The Penguin Cafe Orchestra. I'm even willing to overlook that the poster referenced the wrong album and artwork for this song (it's actually from their second studio album, the eponymous Penguin Cafe Orchestra)

The Capitols - Cool Jerk

Sure, maybe you thought The Go-Go's did it originally (as I did in my Jane Wiedlin-crush days of the early '80s), but you would be wrong is what you would be, my friend. Motown-label cool cats The Capitols took it to Billboard's #7 slot in 1966.

From an appearance on Fridays ABC's relatively short-lived (two seasons) answer to NBC's eternal SNL. Not the best quality of video, sorry.

Gargle 'Em If You Got 'Em!

No lie. For a brief period, Lambert Pharmaceutical Company, makers of Listerine mouthwash, marketed Listerine Cigarettes. Let me repeat that. There used to be Listerine-flavored cigarettes. Someone recently auctioned this intact pack from 1937 on eBay. (via Boing Boing)

Sawing Logs With A Ukulele

I've been a fan of uke-slinging do-it-yourselfer Julia Nunes, who has been making and distributing her own hand-made brand of covers and originals for a number of years now, on YouTube and eventually in live performances. She has a warm, sunny voice that I could listen to all day. "Stay Awake" is from her fourth release, 2011's Kickstarter-funded Settle Down.

Why, without eyebrows, celebrities are just like you and me! (ie. Freakish, troglodytic trolls)

Squick yourself right out with the Tumblr blog Celebs With No Eyebrows.

There's something inherently disturbing about seeing the eyebrows airbrushed out of The Beautiful People. Or Sacha Baron Cohen. *shudder*

OK Go Super Bowl Ad

The day a new OK Go video drops is like Christmas for me.

Merry Christmas.


http://youtu.be/MejbOFk7H6c

The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck.

Makeup special effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick has dropped us off and left us stranded deep, deep, deep in the Uncanny Valley with his 3-d models of everyone's favorite subnormal 15-year-olds, Beavis and Butthead. Hope you weren't planning on sleeping anytime soon.

First, here's the source material in case you're a little rusty on B & B canon.
