Indian Hulk SMASH

Back in the day Scott and I would have hunted this movie down to write an hilarious review. Now, I just link to the YouTube video of what is undoubtedly the five most entertaining minutes of INDIAN HULK. Less satisfying, perhaps, but certainly more efficient. Enjoy!

The Sociology of the Bacon Craze

In a world where we just can’t let well enough alone with anything, bacon at it’s elemental level is pretty hard to mess with.  Yes there are variations on the smoke, the thickness of cut, you can throw some pepper on it.  But bacon is bacon. Irish bacon is a pork chop and Pancetta is bacon masquerading as a sexy Italian babe.  True bacon helps satisfy our lust for simpler times.

Monstrous Wildlife: Graboids

The iPhone antenna song

If you don’t want an iPhone 4
Don’t buy it
If you bought one and you don’t like it
Bring it back
Bring it back bring it back

Douglas Adams: How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet

From Douglas Adams 1999 article “How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet”

1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;

2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;

3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.

Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.
