Summer's Shenanigans

Wired Magazine is having a contest that requires you to destroy your most hated gadget and submit the photographic proof.



The funny thing is that this was brought to my attention (thanks Conner ;)...), just as I was contemplating smashing my new Lexmark printer ala "Office Space". At least now I have an extra excuse to destroy this POS...

Details to follow, but fireworks are legal in Puerto Rico. I might try and get this bitch airborn...

What would you do if you were driving drunk and/or high, slammed into a semi and then a wall and found that your girlfriend/passenger was unconscious?

Personally, if I was in that situation, I would do anything in my power to help my passenger. Well, Ricco Rodriquez found himself in that exact situation and instead of trying to resuscitate his girlfriend (and mother of his child), he assumed that she was probably dead, dragged her into the driver seat and blamed the crash on her.

Ricco Rodriguez is an Ultimate Fighter whom held the championship title in 2003 and got suspended in 2006 for drug use. Him and his girlfriend (who survived the crash) are still together. True love...

I bought a bunch of great stocking stuffers for Christmas this year, but unfortunately I didn't make it home to stuff them in my friends/family members stockings. And by "great stocking stuffers", I mean totally bizarre things that will probably make you hate me for stuffing your stocking with said items...

Conner and Dianne (Van the Man's parents) were visiting us in Puerto Rico, when my package of extra awesome stocking stuffers arrived. Conner was nice enough to be my guinea pig and test out a couple of the items...Like these Crick-ettes!

I was just talking to Kim and Lindsay about how glad I am that digital cameras and the internet were not very popular when I was really young and doing crazy things...



Although, these ladies look old enough to know better. Hmmmm.

I wonder what boob painters get paid? That might be a funny job....haha

I want a tiger pig!





These pictures are actually for real (no photoshopping). They were forwarded to me with this story:

"In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of tri plet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the rightage to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be
found quickly, were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops?"

Since I'm one of those, "don't believe everything you hear" types of people, I did some snooping and found out that the pictures of the piglets dresses up in tiger stripes, hanging out with a grown tiger, ARE actually real, but the story behind it is not.

The tiger/pig pictures above were taken at the Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand where, unlike most zoos, it offers circus-like features such as the mixture of adult animals and the young of very different species in the same enclosure.

I heard about RealDolls quite a few years ago, via The Howard Stern Show. Long story short, a RealDoll is the most realistic sex doll ever made. They are fully customized to the customers requests (you can pick the RealDolls features, skintone, cup size, tan lines and other things I won't get into...) and they cost a few thousand dollars. They are so realistic, it's scary. Here is an actual RealDoll:

Look at this cool zorse! This is Eclyse and her mom is a horse and her dad is a zebra (Apparently they were accidentally introduced and mated at a ranch in Italy. Whoops!). Nonetheless, she's beautiful!

I saw this picture in a magazine and thought it was photoshopped, but it's 100% authentic. She looks like she should have a unicorn horn!

Here are is the story of Eclyse the zorse on Yahoo News

I was throwing together some graphics ( <---over there! ) for the "official" Vicious Enterprises blog and I realized this: I want a vintage typewriter!

Totally random, I know. Especially because this is a totally inappropriate time for me to want anything (in the past 3 days, I have donated or thrown away 90% of the things that I own in preparing to move to Puerto Rico). But, I still want a vintage, working, typewriter.

I remember using one at sometime in my childhood and typing on an old typewriter is actually fun. It's like playing a piano. You hit the key, which strikes the thingamabobber, which hits the ink strip with the letter that you want emblazoned on the paper. And you can't type too fast or else all of the key strokey thingys will trip over one another!

Old Typewriters are cool. And I want one damn it. Once I get one, I am going to write type Stefan love letters on it and type up my all important daily "To Do" lists on it...

Someone (I think it was my mom?) sent me these cool photos of fish painted on this couples faces:






Either these people are very creative (and have a lot of time on their hands) or they've been tripping on acid for a week straight...You decide. ;)

An 11 year old boy shot and killed a 9ft long, 1051 pound pig in Alabama:

Well, it turns out that it wasn't actually a "wild pig", it was a domesticated pig named "Fred". Poor Fred :(

The lovely town of Hell is located in Michigan (zip code of Hell, MI is 48169) and boasts a lively population of 266. Hmmm...Sort of sounds like Eternal Hell would be more fun...

According to wikipedia, there are two versions of how Hell got it's name:

"The first holds that a pair of German travelers stepped out of a stagecoach one sunny afternoon in the 1830s, and one said to the other, "So schön und hell!" - roughly translated as, "So beautiful and bright!" Their comments were overheard by some locals and the name stuck.

The second holds that after Michigan gained statehood, George Reeves was asked what he thought the town he helped settle should be called, and replied, "I don't care, you can name it Hell for all I care." The name became official on October 13, 1841."

You can also get married in Hell. Hey, why not...

If Hell has too many people for your taste (266 hillbillies!), you could always vacation in Hell for Certain, Kentucky, which is only "sparsly populated due to rough terrain". :D

Okay, I'm thoroughly confused. For months, people have been buzzing and blogging about Daniel Radcliffe (a.k.a. Harry Potter) starring in the play "Equus". The big deal is that Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe, is sheding his squeaky clean image and he's appearing nude in this play. Oh, and "Equus" is a play about Daniel's character's erotic obsession with horses.

So this new security scanner has just been debuted at the Pheonix airport. It's an x-ray machine that lets security check you out without clothes on. But don't worry! They can't even use the machine on you, as screenings with this x-ray machine are on a voluntary basis. So I guess we should divide the security check point line into "Exhibitionists" and "Normal People & Terrorists"?

IS THIS REALLY WHAT I'M PAYING A 9/11 TAX FOR?! A $100,000 machine that is a total joke?!

It is voluntary to be screened by this x-ray machine that just shows a naked picture of yourself to security. Is someone that is actually trying to smuggle something that would be revealed by this machine ACTUALLY VOLUNTEER?!

Bulbboy might volunteer, but he isn't a terrorist, he just likes to get naked, so I don't see what good it would do at the airport...;)
