I understand that some people are naive to the ways of world but you’ve got to use some common sense. A mother and daughter in Ohio recently found out their landlord had installed a camera in their apartment shower and had been recording them. We’ve all had to deal with at least one crazy/asshole landlord but if you are going to rent an apartment from this Mr.-Miyagi-Santa-Clause-looking motherfucker and then you are going to believe him when he tells you that you have to use the downstairs shower because of plumbing problems upstairs you’ve got to suspect something fishy is going on.
I love the zoom in on his lazy eye at the end. It really ups the creepy factor.
Paul Newman passed away over the weekend at the age of 83 after losing a battle with cancer. Newman was a 10-time Academy Award nominee and he stared in my all time favorite movie Cool Hand Luke
As a tribute I thought I would throw up one of the great scenes from Cool Hand Luke where Newman’s character says he can eat 50 eggs in an hour. The clip is a little long at just over 9 minutes but it’s definitely worth watching.
Technically it is SFW but I wouldn’t play it in front of my boss. All of the naughty bits have been covered by some pretty funny animations (the chick playing the bongos is my favorite) but it doesn’t take much imagination to see what is really happening.
Unless you have been working with your head in the sand this morning you have probably heard that T-Mobile and Google finally officially announced the first phone to run Google’s open source Andriod operating system. Dubbed the G1, the dual branded phone is based on the HTC Dream chassis that includes a 3 inch HVGA (480×320) display, GPS, WiFi, 3G, a 3.1 megapixel camera and the ability to support up to 8GB of memory.
The phone is available for pre-order to current T-Mobile customers for $179 with a 2 year contract but it won’t hit the fanboys’ sweaty hands until October 22nd.
The G1 features two big industry firsts. The first is push Gmail. Simply sign into your Gmail account once and you will receive your email in real time along with being about to access all of the Google services you know and love. The second major feature is a built-in compass. This means that once you fire up Google Map’s StreetView the phone can tell you which way is north and it will automatically orientate the map on the screen as you spin around.
It’s sounds great and the gadget nerd in me is itching to get on the pre-order list but I don’t think I can do it. What’s cool about the G1 is not the HTC Dream hardware it’s the open source OS Andriod. Sure the G1 is the first but there are going to be many more Andriod handsets to come from probably every major cell phone manufacturer in the game. I’d love to see what the HTC in-house developers can do with Andriod after they have a few months to tinker. The G1 looks like it’s slicker than shit but I think I’m going to have to wait for the second or third Andriod device to be released before I make a commitment.

This lady is doing a little amateur grape stomping while being interviewed by the local news team. She goes for a couple of extra stomps after stopping the competition and pays for it with a face plant off that 3 foot platform.
Sure 40 foot flames might not be the most productive way to deal with the asshole that insists on staying 2 feet behind your bumper but you’ve got to admit it looks pretty badass.
I wonder what it would cost to rig this up on the Civic?
This ad is a couple of years old and it probably already made it’s rounds around the net but I hadn’t seen it until I read about it in an interview with Peter Moore the former head of Xbox Worldwide at Microsoft.
According to Peter it wasn’t the FCC or the even cable networks that squashed the ad, it was the stick-up-the-ass ad execs at Microsoft that wouldn’t allow it to see the light of day.
Honestly, it looks like the greatest game of cops and robbers ever.
In light of AIG’s near collapse and then bail out by the Feds I think it’s probably safe to say that this little bastard can go back to his bed wetting and sleepless nights.
Storms/hurricanes throughout the weekend caused numerous sports to be rescheduled across the country. In New York, the Mets played a double-header on Sunday as a result. That means a lot of afternoon drinking. One unfortunate fan passed out in his seat and was mocked mercifully with an empty beer cup balanced on his head - fans posed for photos and attempted to stack more cups as a crowd grew. The Mets are in the middle of a pennant race, but this guy became the main attraction as you’ll see. The video is 10 minutes long, but it’s hilarious!
Check out the big buzz on Ivan Ukhov. Ivan tried to compete in the high jump at last week’s Grand Prix in Lausanne piss-ass drunk. You can see him waver around, push away an official and then make his run at the bar. It looks like he was drunk enough to forget that the point of the high jump event is to actually make it over the bar.
We can all agree, getting hit in the nuts is usually the funniest thing that can be caught on a video camera - as long as it’s not your nuts being hit. Unfortunately, this Rolling Rock commercial was pulled from airing, but yet it’s still one of the best beer commercials to date. Please drink responsibly and remember your cup.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to do a kick ass base jump and then not have your parachute open properly then this is the video for you. Check out this helmet camera footage from a jump by Hans Lange. I am pretty sure you can hear his leg break before he bounces off the ground and gets drug down the side of the mountain. Looks like I can add base jumping to my “not going to fucking happen” list.
German police are looking for the skateboarder in this video who was filmed skateboarding down a German highway at speeds of 100 KPH (62 MPH). Apparently that section of highway has a speed limit of 80 KPM (50 MPH) so the police have their panties in a bunch over the skateboarder breaking the speed limit. The police suspect that the guy in the video is a professional stuntman (no, really!?) and are concerned people will try to copy the stunt. Professional or not it takes a giant set of brass balls to ride a piece of wood with four wheels at speeds over 60 MPH.
FRIENDLY ADVICE: If you don’t want people to copy the stunt maybe don’t show the stunt on the nightly news, dumbass.
Yeah, Yeah I know I did a Mexican beer last week but we had a little fajita party last week and I am trying to clean out the fridge. That being said this is the third time this summer I have had Dos Equis XX Lager Especial and it is quickly becoming my favorite Mexican beer. It’s the only beer that I have tried that comes in a green bottle and doesn’t taste skunky. If you wonder what I mean by that last sentence try a Heineken, a Rolling Rock or a Grolsch. They all taste skunky.
Dos Equis XX Lager Especial is brewed by the Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma brewery in Mexico which has been in business since 1897 and exporting to the U.S. since 1973. Dos Equis XX Lager Especial is a pale lager that pours smooth with almost no head and has a color just slightly darker than a Budweiser. It’s got a smooth clean taste that just goes down easy. There is no reason for a lime so just set it down. Buy some Corona or Miller Chill if you’ve got a real itch for lime in your beer. I could easily burn through a twelve pack of these things without any problem other than the fact that I would be piss drunk from the 4.45% alcohol by volume.
I would definitely say that Dos Equis XX Lager Especial is my new go-to beer for all Mexican dinners. That’s a big endorsement and I was a little borderline until I saw these “most interesting man in the world” commercials with their tag line of “Stay thirsty my friends.”
