Angry Traveler Tweets About Bombs, Gets Arrested
Jan.18, 2010, under Politics and Religion, Retarded
Just a hint for those of you who aren’t in the know: Talking about bombing your local airport for ANY reason is probably not a great idea. With that said, Paul Chambers is a moron.. and he’s British to boot, so that’s strike two (Just kidding you crazy Brits, I love you guys and your crumpets and tea). Apparently while traveling by plane, Paul was stuck in an airport due to weather conditions. Pissy and probably drunk, he tweeted
“Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high.”Fast forward to January 13th, when the local police decided to pay him a visit with a paper copy of the tweet. I’m sure you can guess the rest of what happened. Paul was arrested, interrogated, and locked up under the World Terrorist Act until his trial date of February 11th. Along with that, the tweet was deleted, and his computers and iPhone were taken for evidence.
I’d like to make three key points here. One, Paul is a moron. Two, this is my 100th post. Yay me. And three, while I think it’s sad that this exploded (Yeah, I went there) into what was obviously just a frustrated traveler, I think if you’re stupid enough to post on the Internet a bomb threat, you should expect that an equally stupid agency should put the smack down on your ass.
Strike three, Pauly.

Artist Spotlight: Adrian Grajdeanu’s Wicked Character Design
Jan.14, 2010, under Artist Spotlight, Web & Graphic Design/Development
Adrian Grajdeanu is a character designer/2D artist who draws some scary ass pictures. You’ve been warned. It gave me nightmares and I can neither confirm nor deny that I peed the bed a little. It’s reminiscent of Resident Evil/Silent Hill type of model design, but definitely has it’s own vision. The full set is well worth a look, which is located in the source. Also a few more after the click. Don’t blame me if you scream in horror at your cubicle. I take no responsibility for your shenannigans.

Restoring A Little Faith In Humanity
Jan.13, 2010, under Random
I feel very hippi-ish today. Don’t you? Let’s go out and hug trees, frolic on the grassy knoll, eat berries and grow some wicked awesome beards! Wow, not that I think about it, that actually doesn’t sound fun at all. In any case, take Plaza Cleaners in Portland Oregon. The picture below is a standard sign that was put up by the owners to promote the business and give back to the community. Oregon unemployment rates are still one of the highest in the country. It’s nice to see a local business giving back in the best way they know how, clean your filthy laundry. Seriously, I can smell it from here. If you’re in the Portland area, please click the link below to visit their website, drop some clothes off, and when you’ve got that nicely starched (light starch please) shirt, walk into that interview and I make a personal guarantee that you will get hired.*
*guarantee not valid after 01/12/2010Ha! See what I did there, I posted the date YESTERDAY! I’m so clever.

The Best 22 Seconds You’ll Spend Today
Jan.08, 2010, under Funny, Movies
Happy Friday everyone! I have no idea who the author of this sweet ass video is. Maybe one of you fine readers will say so in the comments section. Please post something. I get so lonely here. This is my sad face.
This is madness. This is Sparta. Have a good weekend folks. See you all on Monday.

Emma Watson Poses For Burberry, Loses a Leg
Jan.07, 2010, under Movies, Web & Graphic Design/Development
Talk about bad Photoshop work. This new advertisement for Burberry leaves Harry Potter star Emma Watson with a deformed half-leg. Via the outlets covering this story, many think it’s simply a oddly photographed stance. I disagree, since even if it was a weird stance, the leg doesn’t bend in the middle of the damn thigh. Well, most people’s thighs don’t. I’m going to guess either that sorcery caused this to happen, or Emma is one of those crazy ass aliens who’s knees bend backwards like on Men in Black.
Insert joke about using my noisy cricket on Emma Watson. Hey, she’s almost 20, don’t judge me.

The Most Awesome Man In The Universe
Jan.05, 2010, under Random
I have no idea who this man is, but I bet if he did some sparring with Chuck Norris, the universe would implode on itself from the sheer awesomeness. This man has apparently mastered all the things that are awesome. Flips, skateboards, cups, uh.. juggling while flipping and riding a skate board through a street full of angry rhino’s. Okay, I made that last part up, but the video is worth a watch.

Three Howling Wolf Head Comes To Nook
Dec.31, 2009, under Gadgets, Web & Graphic Design/Development
Do you own one of those super fashionable three wolf’s head shirts? Are you literate and/or like to read? Do you own a Nook? If you answered yes to at least one out of the three of those questions above, you should probably buy this bad boy. I am pretty sure this is right after the howling happened, as one looks sleepy, and the other looks menacing. Due to the good folks at B&N (Barnes & Noble) who figured out the good idea of background functionality on their device (I’m looking with angry eyes at you, Amazon), not only is this going to be awesome on the back but also on the front! Just the way I like it. Bow-chia-bowbow. You know what I’m saying.

Blue Avatar Kitteh’s May Get Freaky In Blu-Ray/DVD
Dec.31, 2009, under Movies
Admittedly, I haven’t seen Avatar yet, but come hell or high water tomorrow I will be, in 3D (because apparently it’s freakin’ AWESOME in 3D). If you’re one of the freaky-deaky peeps who liked the brief giant lizard/blue kitty porn scene in the movie, you’re going to love the blu-ray or DVD version. Apparently there was much more to that scene that got cut out by director James Cameron and actress Zoe Saldana upon final release, but is hinted as being included in both releases mentioned above. Hopefully it’s not as noisy as regular cat sexing. Sorry, I just threw up a little.

Redubbed Star Trek Outtakes Like Apple Juice
Dec.29, 2009, under Funny, Politics and Religion, The Interweb
This was done by a bunch of comedic geniuses named Dayjob Orchestra. Following this link will get you to their Youtube page, which has more videos than you could probably ever watch (okay, so it’s like 75, but still). In a nutshell, they take clips from Star Trek, celebrities, or political figures, and re-dub them to make very odd conversations, all while keeping the lip syncing (mostly) accurate. You just need to stop reading and watch the thing.

Teenage Mutant Ninja (Snuggie) Turtles
Dec.29, 2009, under Retarded
I didn’t want to have to post this. All the people who sent in tips on this piece of warm stupid made me, just remember that. Now, I know what you’re saying, “Come on Geekogle Guy, give it a chance! Look how warm it is!” Yes, it’s warm I’m sure, and apparently you have to be either a dude with long hair or some guy with ear gauges to pull off the look. Maybe if it came with a bo-staff or nun-chucks or something, but it’s unlikely they do. I’ll trade turning up the heat a little bit to keep warm than to look like a moron in a lime green robe worn backwards.
