My blogless friend D is another cheesy horror film fan like myself. We have been talking about the various different bad, yet good horror movies weÂ’ve seen. He kept telling me about an Italian movie that had a Zombie fighting a shark. I had never seen a zombie movie with a scene like that. While looking for some information on zombies (Please donÂ’t ask) I found this clip:

I donÂ’t know if this is the same clip he was talking about. From my research, IÂ’m pretty sure this is from the movie Zombi 2. If not IÂ’m sure someone would be nice enough to tell me what movie this clip is from.

What's Up Yours?

My buddy Shadoglare sent me this song by Barleyjuice a couple of weeks ago. I finally found a good video clip of it. Nothing like a good Celtic Rock band to get you going.

I wonder if I can get one of these shipped to me in the U.S.

An Armagedddon USB HubÂ… IÂ’d love just to have this on my desk at work. Whenever one of my employees gets out of line, I could launch the nukes!

If I get that, I'll need to get one of these to go with it!

A USB Missile Launcher!

I remember when my parents got our very first VCR. It was the Christmas of 1980. They also bought a membership to a local video rental store so we could rent movies to watch on the VCR. They gave it to the family on Christmas morning and long with the movie they rented, Mary Poppins. I think we watched that movie 3 times on Christmas Day.

I wasnÂ’t a huge fan of the movie, it was just the novelty of it.

Well someone most have had a similar experience and wanted to make telling the story a little cooler. They came up with an alternative cut for it.

It actually looks like it would have been a lot more interesting this way.

Just in time for Valentines day, I found something for those that are too cheap donÂ’t want to buy roses, but want to give their someone a little something.

Over at instructables, they have Duct Tape Roses, and step-by-step directions on how to make your own.

Me, IÂ’m going to buy flowers, this just sounds like work.

1 Good idea! About the buying flowers rather than making them I mean

2 Hey, my local gas station has real roses for 2 bucks a throw, so why would I waste perfectly good duct tape on this? :-)

This is just cool.

According to You Tube, this is done by using sulfur hexafluoride. This gas is significantly denser then air, and gives the foil “ship” the look as if it’s floating on water. Apparently this gas is 5.11 times denser then the air we breathe. It’s non-toxic and if you inhale some, it has the opposite effect of helium; it makes your voice sound deeper.

Since I first linked to this game, I've spent a lot of time playing. I had been having troubles winning, and then I read Harvey's post regarding the game. Then I realized I was thinking too in-line. I needed to be more flexible with my strategy. Now, I've gone and made the leader board.

I have to go now, Ktreva has threatened to call the lawyer if I play another round.

Right now, in my hot little hands I have a videocassette. I havenÂ’t been able to watch it yet; IÂ’m saving it for tomorrow. This might be the most talked about but hardly seen Christmas Special ever. ItÂ’s joked about, made fun of, and some younger fans arenÂ’t convinced it actually exists.

What do I have? Well my friends, tomorrow I will be watching Chewbacca returning home to celebrate “Life Day” with his son, wife and Father. That’s right, I have a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special, AKA “The Wookie Christmas” (Well at least according to the insert that came with it). I saw this when it first came out in 1978; I have not seen it since. I’m giddy with excitement over this; this could make this the best Christmas EVER! From everything I recollect it was horrible, but still it’s iconically hilarious by being so bad.

The only down side is that itÂ’s not mine. It was loaned to me by an acquaintance, and I have to return it Tuesday. Thus I donÂ’t have time to get a copy of it. Sigh.

This has to be the coolest table I've ever seen. Talk about an easy conversion to seat more people.

If I only had a room big enough for something like this.

UPDATE: The table is made by DB Fletcher Furniture Design.

This is a two-for. Over at Not Exactly Rocket Science, CalTechGirl has two posts up that really touched me. The first being a little song about Christmas Shopping. It doesnÂ’t exactly convey how I feel about shopping, but itÂ’s pretty close. I donÂ’t tend to cry after shopping because IÂ’m a man and we just donÂ’t do that, that would require a level of sensitivity I just canÂ’t posses.

The second post is regarding a Firefly/Serenity convention that went wrong and how cool the actors were. IÂ’ll steal her thunder with the Christmas song, but youÂ’ll have to go read the post about the convention over there.

On my way home from work I heard an interview with a representative for LifeLock. ItÂ’s a company that for $10.00 a month protects you from identity theft. They even guarantee it.

Our guarantee is simple: If your Identity is ever stolen while you are our client and your claim is legitimate, we will fix the problem. Period. No matter what it takes. And we'll reimburse you for any losses you incur. No matter what it costs (up to $1,000,000).

The guy was so sure of his company that he gave his social security number out over the air. It sounded pretty impressive, I donÂ’t have any first had knowledge about this company, but I thought I would share the information with all of you, it is the season you know; the season for greed, theft and materialism.

Speaking of theft, I also heard on the radio that three red kettles where stolen from the local Salvation Army today from different locations. They estimated the thief(s) got off with over $500.00 in donations. I guess some low-lifeÂ’s kid is going to get a Play Station 3 for Christmas.

Think you hate your job? Maybe you have had a bad experience with an employee. Perhaps there is a co-worker or boss you despise. Now there is a site for you to go and vent to anonymously or read otherÂ’s problems, Disgruntledworkforce.com.

IÂ’ve read many of the posts, some are legit, some are stupid, but there are many that are amusing.

Hey, I didnÂ’t know this. ItÂ’s National Ammo Day. After try-outs IÂ’m going to have to guy buy 100 rounds.

Thanks to the Conservative UAW Guy for keeping me updated.

Many of you know IÂ’m a huge Evil Dead fan. This may be going too far. Evil Dead the musical.

I just want to know what person thought this was a good idea. Then I want to know who actually funded this. Finally, I want to know when it is coming to my area so I can get tickets.

Holy cow! I donÂ’t know why anyone would try this, especially since if there where off by just a little bit sheÂ’d have done more then just bang her head.

ItÂ’s still pretty amazing.

This is just wrong. A Cell phone that has a built in breathalizer!

Here's how it works: Users blow into a small spot on the phone, and if they've had too much to drink the phone issues a warning and shows a weaving car hitting traffic cones.

Well thatÂ’s great because now you donÂ’t have to guess if you get pulled over whether or not you are over the limit. ThatÂ’s actually pretty cool. On the other hand I can see a bunch of college kids sitting around seeing who can get the highest blood alcohol level before passing out. Trust me one this. When I was in college one of the bars had a breathalizer station by the door. I routinely saw guys going over to see who could score the highest.

There is one down side to this phone.

If you have a blood alcohol level over .08, the phone will not let you dial that person. So it not only promotes sobriety, but chastity — and probably your dignity, as well.

WHAT?!?!?!?! No way! As many of you know, I have an adverse reaction to talking on the phone. As in I hate talking on the phone. I despise, loathe and am repulsed by having to do so. At work IÂ’m more likely to walk to someoneÂ’s desk to talk to them then to pick up the phone and call. If someone callÂ’s my home, IÂ’ll let Ktreva answer the phone. Yet, when IÂ’m drinking, sometimes I like to pick a random number and just call it. Just for the fun of it. This phone would take that joy away from meÂ… and the joy of having drunks call me.

I know they are making Transformers, the movie. This clip I doubt is actually from the movie, but if someone can do that, imagine what some of these big budget studios could do. Check out someoneÂ’s rendition of Opitmus Prime transforming.

IÂ’d say this was a waste of good beer, but itÂ’s only MilwaukeeÂ’s Best Light. Which on the beer scale it is only slightly better then Camo Silver High Gravity Lager.

I donÂ’t know if this is good editing or if they added something to the water, but I want to know how this is done.

If anyone knows the answer, please share with me. Thanks!

This appears to be rather old, so someone else may have posted this already. But since I havenÂ’t seen it, here it goes again. A guy that does video editing was doing it on a Power Mac G4, he discovers that in order to runt he new programs he wants that he needs a G5. Unfortunately he canÂ’t afford one. So he uses the internet to panhandle for $5,000.00. The catch is that if he gets the $5,000.00 heÂ’ll blow up the G4.

Well he reached his goal, bought the new computer and fulfilled his promise.

I think he should have used a pound of black powder, it would have looked much more impressive.
