Here Is Cookie Monster Singing Tom Waits' 'God’s Away On Business'
03 jun 2013 19:35
Appropriately named YouTube user “CookieWaits” noticed that Tom Waits’ “God’s Away On Business” sounds a lot like it was sung by whoever does the voice for Cookie Monster on Sesame Street. He writes: “Tom Waits sometimes sounds eerily like Cookie Monster. Not that I mind! I happen to love Waits and his carnival barker’s growl!” So he mashed together a bunch of Sesame Street clips and produced a video that, if you didn’t know any better, makes it really seem as though the song is actually a Cookie Monster joint. Well done mysterious CookieWaits. Well done. Almost as well done as this…

Heath Ledger’s Inspiration For The Joker Was Probably Tom Waits
03 jun 2013 19:34
Few performances are as memorable as Heath Ledger’s terrifying, smirking inevitability as The Joker in The Dark Knight, a role which earned him a posthumous Oscar. Now Kotaku and Newsarama have tipped us to a 1979 interview of Tom Waits which is eerily similar to The Joker’s voice, inflections, and mannerisms. Thinking Heath Ledger’s inspiration for The Joker may have been Tom Waits isn’t as far-fetched as it seems. The two worked together in Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a movie which took so long to develop that it’s conceivable the two could have met at some point before The Dark Knight filmed. A then 29-years-old Tom Waits can be seen shambling, smirking, and being captivatingly weird in a 1979 Australian talk show hosted by Don Lane in the video below. Skip to 1:30 to see the start of the interview. I kept waiting for Waits to offer a magic trick demonstration to host Don Lane. I’ll just have to settle for the magic of watching Cookie Monster sing Waits’ “God’s Away On Business” instead.

'Game of Thrones' Characters Reimagined As '80s And '90s Stereotypes
03 jun 2013 19:06
Have you ever wondered what HBO's Game of Thrones would look like if it were set in the 1980s and '90s? Of course you have! Mike Wrobel, French graphic artist living in Tokyo, has illustrated this scenario by creating character art saturated with color and reminiscent of '80s and '90s fashion stereotypes. There's grunge dude Jon Snow, Miami Vice fan Jaime Lannister, douchebag Joffrey (pardon the redundancy), Sansa Stark as a Beverly Hills teen who loves boy bands, and more. There's even Daenerys Targaryen with her pets. Whatever you do, don't tell her those pets are forbidden by her apartment's lease. It won't end well. All pictures via Mike Wrobel's website: http://moshi-kun.tumblr.com/post/50584934008/game-of-thrones-80-90s-era-jon-snow-and-joffrey

Baby Mugging is a rather new photo meme where people hold up a coffee cup in front of their babies to make it appear as if they are sitting inside, when actually he or she is lounging in the background of the photo. All you need to pull this off is a baby (adult, animal, etc.), a cup and a camera. Get inspired!

Nathan Fielder, star of Comedy Central’s Nathan for You, recently encouraged his Twitter followers to “accidentally” tweet their parents about a drug deal and to then tell them to ignore the text. That prank was quite successful and now he’s asked his followers to text the person they are dating “I haven’t been fully honest with you,” not respond for an hour and then tweet the result.

Here’s a look at some of the results (kids, if you like being in your relationship, don’t try this at home)

Dane Cook Ridiculed for Not Letting His Show Stream Live
01 jun 2013 16:50
Comedian Dane Cook joined up with other acts last night (May 30) for the Boston Strong concert to benefit victims of last month’s Boston bombings through One Fund Boston — but unlike his fellow do-gooders, he didn’t allow his set to stream live or be televised for those watching at home. Which, as expected, got him some flak from the internet. Whereas performances by Aerosmith, the Dropkick Murphys, Boston, Jimmy Buffett and the New Kids on the Block were all available to watch by home viewers, Dane Cook’s stand-up was not. In response to everyone’s Scooby ears, he took to Twitter with this explanation:

The Best Liam Neeson Movies You Probably Haven’t Seen
01 jun 2013 16:33
Everybody loves Liam Neeson. It’s impossible not to. He’s a badass, he’s handsome, he’s got the cool accent, he seems like a smart guy and he’s starred in some of the best movies of the past quarter century. Even when he shows up for a quick and dirty paycheck like in Battleship it’s hard to begrudge the guy. (Given the recent tragedy in his personal life, my inner Jewish grandmother says “it’s good he should keep busy. And why not make a few dollars at the same time?”) I won’t suggest that you skip Battleship this weekend. With friends and some smuggled-in tall boys of Coors Light you’ll have a fine time. But don’t expect that much Liam Neeson. In fact, it may leave you wanting more, so here are eight films of his you probably haven’t seen.

Here’s How to Order Items from Starbucks’ Secret Menu
01 jun 2013 16:26
Coffee aficionados, listen up: there are more than a dozen off-the-menu drinks you can order at Starbucks. So, how does one partake of this “secret” menu? Easy. The trick is how you order and we can help. Want a “Raspberry Cheesecake”? Then order a White Chocolate Mocha and add a few pumps of raspberry. Hankering for a “Biscotti Frappuccino” instead? Then buy a biscotti and have your barista blend it with any flavor of frappuccino. Or perhaps “The Nutella” is more your speed. If so, just get a Cafe Misto with pumps of chocolate and hazelnut and a caramel drizzle. While all those sound good, the “Captain Crunch” is definitely the first secret item we’re going to order. To make one, take a Strawberries and Creme frappe with a pump of caramel, add two pumps of toffee, one pump of hazelnut and two scoops of chocolate chips. Fans of this drink say the combination of flavors tastes just like Captain Crunch cereal. Yum! Given this highly classified information, we may become a permanent resident at our local Starbucks. Check out the handy Starbucks secret menu below.

**Warning! Here there be SPOILERS about the last episode of ‘Game of Thrones,’ which you really should have watched by now!**We’ve had some pretty mixed emotions after the “Red Wedding” episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ and knew this was the only thing that would make us feel better. Like, we didn’t really care about Robb Stark, but didn’t feel like seeing a pregnant lady get belly murdered. So ENJOY YOUR NEW BLAZERS, JERKS! Oh, you’ve got an army of killers? We’ve got an army (okay three or four) of artists who know PHOTOSHOP. Now you have to wear Justin Bieber clothes, Tywin Lannister and Walder Frey, so you can look like the douches you are. Sincerely, we feel a lot better.

The Wheel House
30 may 2013 02:42

“The Wheel House” is a theatrical performance that occurs within a circular rolling structure. Two performers play mysterious travelers who live in a rolling house—the movement of the house provides unique opportunities for acrobatics, feats of daring, and physical comedy. The performance is designed to be mobile, as a roving street performance or a narrative show that requires the audience to walk alongside.

Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2
30 may 2013 02:19

A few days ago storm chaser Brandon Ivey recorded this jaw-dropping video from inside a violent tornado in Smith County, Kansas. Ivey recorded the video alongside film director Sean Casey as their armored storm chasing truck, Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2, was engulfed by winds of up to 175 MPH. The seven-ton TIV 2 was designed by Casey to capture up-close footage of tornadoes and is equipped with metal and composite armor plate, bullet resistant windows, an IMAX camera turret, and wind skirts and anchoring devices that prevent it from being blown away. The storm reportedly tore instrumentation from the roof of the truck and breached the hull in two locations.

If some of you wonder “What the hell is Origami?”, lets cite our beloved Wikipedia: “Origami (origami) (from oru meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper”) is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper,and using only one piece of paper” Maybe not all of the art works here were done using only one peace of paper, but nevertheless they all look really impressive.

Google Is Going To Bring WiFi To The Unconnected With Blimps
28 may 2013 14:59

Google does a lot of very weird things. It has a top-secret lab working on dozens of projects we don’t know about. It builds fiber networks mostly because it has the money and is sick of dealing with ISPs. And now, apparently, it’s going to connect places with no Internet infrastructure by using blimps. Honestly, we question how important it is that the Third World get on the Internet as opposed to, say, sending humanitarian aid. But it can’t hurt, and entitled white kids on an “adventure” will be able to get a decent signal to post pics to Instagram with. These wireless networks would serve areas such as sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia to dwellers outside of major cities where wired Internet connections aren’t available, said people familiar with the strategy. The networks also could be used to improve Internet speeds in urban centers, these people said. Google is also developing cheap hardware to use on these networks, bringing the joy of fart apps to people who live on less than the average American’s coffee budget. Sarcasm aside, it’ll be good to connect these remote areas: there are real benefits ranging from citizen journalism to better medical treatment. And it’s been shown in the past that networks like this can provide real benefit to those living there. On the other hand, you also have to wonder what deals Google will have to cut to get these things in the air. While Africa and Southeast Asia are hardly as bad as the news tends to portray them, there are oppressive regimes and other assorted unpleasant types who really do not want Westerners to, say, find out that they’re running their country into the ground. Google may mean well, but it’s likely sooner or later to find itself embroiled in more local politics than it cares to be involved in.

Game Of Thrones Season 3 Alignment Chart

Back in the heady infographic days of 2010, Dungeons & Dragons parody alignment charts were all the rage, with every show and cult film getting their own variation to the amusement of plenty of people who swore to had never heard of an alignment chart before. Game of Thrones season one was the recipient of this very accurate version, and now with the internet not knowing what to do with itself the week following a GOT break, r/GameOfThrones came up with the below new variation to pass the time. Nothing groundbreaking, but if you’re into that sort thing, by all means take a look. Something tells me book readers may have some commentary.

Brave Idiot Slaps Beyoncé's Butt, Somehow Survives

Beyoncé’s butt is like a da Vinci painting: it’s meant to be admired from afar, not felt. (Though only Bey has a workout video with her name on it.) NO TOUCHING, as it were, unless your name is Jay-Z or Carmen: A Hip Hopera star Mekhi Phifer. Then it’s all yours; otherwise, how dare you touch the Queen’s behind, especially during a live show, when she’s performing “Irreplaceable,” as one brave idiot recently did in Copenhagen. Beyonce’s response: “I’ll have you escorted out for that.” She was joking, but not really. In other words:

We’d Have a ‘Hangover’ with Zach Galifianakis
28 may 2013 13:23
‘The Hangover Part 3‘ hits theaters this weekend, and when you’re not salivating over Bradley Cooper, you’ll likely find yourself smitten with comedian Zach Galifianakis and his adorable beard-face. There’s something really cute about the guy. He’s a bit chubby, he’s got that mountain man beard thing going on, and he always plays characters that are sort of obnoxious or gross or childish — basically, he makes us laugh our butts off. A guy with a sense of humor and an amazing beard? Sign us up. But here’s why else you should love Galifianakis: Back in 1994, when he was trying to make a name for himself, he met an elderly woman who helped out at a local laundromat in LA. Her name was Mimi, and she got by on the tips she earned for helping patrons. The two became friends, but then Galifianakis got a bit famous and they lost touch — until a couple of years ago, when he found out that Mimi had become homeless. So he found her a one bedroom apartment, pays her rent, and introduced her to Renee Zellweger, who also helps out with Mimi’s expenses. Even cuter? Galifianakis has taken Mimi to premieres for ‘The Hangover’ movies and for his comedy ‘The Campaign.’
