Cat in the Box

I’ve watched this video at least a dozen times since I found it last night and it still makes me giggle. I wonder if it is something the cat was trained to do or if its just something she started doing and her owner encouraged it because of how ridiculously funny and cute it is.

The double box run takes the cake for me. Ridiculous!

I don’t really have anything else to say about this video other than: So. Awesome. Thanks Turbo!

Dinner on the go for the busy commuter

I caved tonight and picked up a hot dog on my way home from work. Toppings of choice include:

  • yellow mustard
  • sweet relish
  • chopped onions
  • hot peppers
  • pickles

I call it the “Tripledoubleyoudotcomdog” and it is my condiment combination of choice for street meat.

What’s yours?

Aku McBeal is her cousin

I swear this was the first idea that was generated for me.

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Ally McBeal and Samurai Jack.
The story should use anal sex as a plot device!

I wouldn’t even know where to begin the story. Get your own at the Terribe Crossover Fanfiction Idea Generator.

Close Encounters of the Pork kind

I just saw the latest Barfy the Pig episode “Close Encounters” and I wanted to share it all with you!

When I saw the spaceship I automatically started trying to break down how I would create it in Spore.

Don’t get caught with a copy of The Walking Dead trade paperback when you’re in Clark County

Thank you Winchester Police Force! Through your hard work you have cleaned up the city streets of yet another troubled violent youth. I know that I can sleep better knowing that this high school student is behind bars for writing a short story about a zombie attack on a high school. Great job!

Orac at Respectful Insolence sums up my concerns with this incident nicely in his own post about it.

Lessons learned from Arnis class that can be used everyday

When you are standing on a streetcar, subway or bus using a sparing ready stance really helps keep your balance. This involves standing with one foot slightly infront of the other, slightly larger than shoulder width apart, with your toes facing forward. Your back foot is is pointing forward but also angled off to the side. Knees should always be slightly bent and your weight should be on the balls of your feet, not the heel.

Standing like this is very stable and gives you enough balance to cope with any hard stops or steep turns your mass transportation may encounter. You may get some dirty looks for having such a big stance, but you can keep your bag/backpack between your legs to give you an excuse (but you should be doing that anyway instead of wearing it on your back and hitting people with it!)

And as an added bonus, if another commuter looses their balance and ends up falling on you, your stance will give you more than enough stability to support them and keep yourself from falling as well. A great way to leave a good impression on that cute but clumsy someone someone. Or if some punk kid feels like muscling his way through the commuter masses he’ll be in for a big surprise when he tries to shoulder past you and your stable base.

That one has happened to me before, and the thug bounced off me and spun around like a top. The look on his face was priceless.

Nailing your Wife

Nathan Fillion and Aria Giovanni star in Nailing Your Wife.

Wait … Mal? Captian Hammer? Oh dear, what have you gotten yourself into?!

I should have seen that one coming.

The One Inch Punch

Here’s a great little documentary I found about the One Inch Punch.

You are probably familiar with the technique if you are a fan of Bruce Lee or have seen a good number of Shaw Brothers films. It was something I tried to learn on my own before I started practicing Arnis, but I didn’t meet much success. Now a days I can pull of a pretty decent one-inch punch, but it is no where near as impressive as some of the ones I’ve seen performed by some of my fellow classmates.

I don’t hate you

You see the Ovetto Recycling Egg

I see the sentry guns from Portal. Either way, it is very stylish and looks much better than my current garbage/recycling solution of two plastic garbage bins and a stack of cardboard on the side.

Thanks Gizmodo!
