Friday fun: time travel is dangerous

 

I should explain. This is Drunk Hulk. He has a Twitter account. He is singing that terrible Cure song. Drunk Hulk remarks on the news of the day, but occasionally lets his green hair down and takes song requests. The other day, Drunk Hulk did a mean Toto and Lady Gaga. Not bad! Now for the rest of this week's whimsy.

What is the definition of "unbenounced"? Urban Dictionary knows all.

Here's every pop culture cartoon face, morphed at warp speed for seven minutes. This will mess with your head. But later, you'll love taking screen shots.

The Brothers Karamazov

Feel the soft little bag where Dmitri hides his shameful money. He wears the bag around his neck. It is full of rubles. Why doesn't Dmitri save himself?

Best stained glass church window, ever!

This might have kept me going to church.

Time machine caveat. That's it - no more dreaming of time-travel for me.

And, in case you need something to do this weekend, and you're feeling lucky, there's Ask Sleeves, the mp3 finder. Have fun!

Friday fun: double down

the UC Berkeley a capella group Noteworthy does Gaga at least as well as s/he does. [Thanks, Chaos Theory]

More music: make a hit song with just four chords. These guys are the proof. [NSFW language]

One more video - this one you have to see. A stadium is demolished - and you can click 'n' drag to watch the implosion from inside. I love the internet!

You've heard about the ungodly weirdness that is the new KFC double down sandwich, yes? Well, James has come up with a Massachusetts-centric version. Should we invent one for California, and what should go into it?

Friday fun: et les crocodiles

A little french girl spins a yarn that starts with Winnie the Pooh and ranges throughout heaven and earth. I could just eat her up. I love the way she says "crocodile."

Samurai Star Wars! I would totally buy these. They'd be a step up from the old Portal posters I have up in my office.

Robert Heinlein's fan mail response letter. After seeing the cool conveniences he built into his house, it doesn't surprise me he was this efficient.

Author John Scalzi's super-secret project? He's about to publish the world's first reboot of another sci-fi classic.

Wine cork bathmat - Um, looks fairly practical, and easy to make, except the part where I'm slicing several hundred corks in half lengthwise with a pocket knife. I happen to like my fingers attached to my hand, thank you. 

Finally, Lifehacker presents several dozen brand-new, never before conceived-of "hacks" for using up all your soon-to-spoil fresh foods. Here's a mind-blowing example. Ready? Hope you're sitting down for this one.

Not particularly creative or sexy, but I make big pots of soup with any ingredients I fear might go to waste. Cool & freeze in individual or family-sized baggies (I double-bag). Then there's just a thaw, a reheat, and a topping or two between you and a really good meal.

What?! Make? Soup? Yourself? Actual soup? Out of leftovers? I'm blown away.

The Onion: Butler Wonders What It Has To Do To Get The Hell Out Of Indiana

Chefs serve dinner on a volcano. Now, it's been a long time for me, so I'll ask you - would this be a sort of "first date" scenario, or more of a "I'd like to die and take you with me" dysfunctional marriage thing? Whichever, it's obvious you'd have to pay in advance.
