Here’s a Japanese invention: a reinforced reusable shopping bag that you can put on your head and use as a helmet in case of an earthquake. It’s both an interesting idea and borderline chindogu.
I thought I’d help get the word out: Rayanne and Nicole are holding a Toronto Tumblr meetup tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. until whenever at Sin & Redemption. “Come for the excellent beer selection, stay for the hilarious internet nerdiness,” Nicole says.
I don’t have a Tumblr — the Accordion Guy blog has been serving that function so incredibly well for nearly 11 years — but many of my friends do, Anitra’s in town and hasn’t been there, and I haven’t been to S&R in a dog’s age. See you there!
If you want to attend, be sure to RSVP on the meetup’s Facebook page.
I didn’t come up with the idea for this graphic, which seems to have originated on this page at The Nest. I just spruced it up, re-did the text using the Game of Thrones (or, as Anitra and I like to call it, Boobs and Beheadings) typeface, Trajan Pro, and here you have it. Share and enjoy!
Take a look this ad for Miss Travel, a service that lets beautiful people see the world for free as the travelling companions of their customers — “doctors, lawyers, bankers, athletes, executives, entrepreneurs and millionaires who are looking to travel with an attractive person like you”:
I love that they use the catchphrase “life is short”, which is also used by the marital infidelity dating site Ashley Madison.
It reminds me of an updated version of this ad for the Velvet Jones School of Technology:
When you’re with a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, it’s starts off wonderfully, as if you’re living in a romantic Zooey Deschanel romantic comedy:
“Everything seemed so perfect at first. She was cute, but lots of quirky and awkward…on our first date, she said she wanted pancakes for dinner. So adorable. We danced in the rain to the music in our hearts…I felt alive!”
“But then after a few months, I started to realize she was eating pancakes for every meal. She can’t feed herself. She can’t pay bills. She just wonders at the marvel of every moment. Every moment! We got married in a fuckin’ bouncy castle!”
I’ve dated a Manic Pixie Dream Girl or two and had a disastrous non-date with one last year. While fun, they’re not very good long-term prospects. Not if you want to stay sane, anyway.
Oh. My. God. This guy — KillaKarisma — totally outdoes Friday and Hot Problems with his hilarious disturbing R. Kelly-esque booty groove ballad called Jackin’ Off to Yo’ Facebook pics.
The video is below. The audio is most certainly not safe for work, but it’s hilarious. I still can’t stop laughing.
I am so learning this on accordion.
