The Somewhat Ambitious

Is there anything manlier than flowers?
…According to wikipedia, there are more than eight billion things manlier than flowers, though surprisingly, I’m not amongst them. The sole reason why this is total fucking bullshit: I once stabbed a metro cop in Prague with a sharpened chrysanthemum. He was all like, “nicht angreifen mich mit der stamen!”, [...]

Apparently, according to these atrocious puppets (what’s with all the puppets in this site lately?), if you don’t drink Wilkins coffee, there’s one clear thing to remember.
You’re a FUCKIN’ IDIOT.
Oh, and apparently the skinnier muppet’ll shoot you in the face. Just FYI.
As far as I’m aware, there’s a whole slew of fucked-up marketing videos from [...]

Ginou Choueiri, the woman responsible for these lumpy head things, is Lebanese artist living in Beirut. Which doesn’t mean she’s dwelling inside the liver of our favourite singer songwriter, although that in and of itself would warrant closer inspection.
No, Ginou has used the potato as an artistic medium. The works themselves are striking, not just [...]

WAAAAAAAAGH.
Total coronary failure. This is the new trailer for Sherlock Holmes, which is directed by Guy Ritchie (con) and stars Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes (huge pro) and Jude Law as Watson (another huge pro). Having read every short story and novel I’m somewhat excited.

Fuck that.
Imagine this. A freezing evening in Moscow. For some [...]

If you’ve ever wondered what Luke and myself will look and act like in about fifty years (and if we lived in Hollywood)… you’re weird. Get help.
But if you’ve ever wondered what Luke and myself will look and act like in about fifty years, this is probably a close approximation. And by that, I mean [...]

Holy crap! Monday morning! If you’ve just woken up and missed Nerds of a Feather, don’t sweat it, the podcast will be up later. In the meantime, here’s what Robbie, Marieke, Lindsay and myself discussed:
- The repurcussions of the whole twitter hacking/facebook hacking/erotic Marieke debacle of the past few weeks!
- We chatted about a new [...]

Now, I like to think of myself as a fairly open-minded gentleman and one that, at the age of 23, is in no way out of touch with the youth of today, but this is just… just. Jesus.
Sorry, let’s start that again. It’s all a little overwhelming, truth be told. So, have you heard of [...]

I don’t want to sully this with excess commentary*. Sufficed to say when I showed it to Luke, he almost peed himself. Seriously, I’ve never seen him that overstimulated. Not even when I had that car battery hooked up to his nuts.
…What? It was a slow Friday night.
Here’s where shit gets awesome, though. The clip [...]
