What happens when shepherds get bored?

  Published in

Well, if you have ever wondered what shepherds do to kill time, here is the answer.  You get a viral video of "Extreme sheep LED art".  It must have been a lot of work for them, so I hope that it makes you smile!

Online Dating

  Published in

Online dating is definitely not what it used to be.  People used to think that personal ads, whether in the paper or online, were relegated to those desperate for love.  Saturday Night Live had an ongoing segment about dating companies called "Lowered Expectations".  I think that the complete opposite is now true.  Dating companies are now about specific groups of people looking for love in all the right places.

It seems like there is every possible segment of the population represented by one site or another.  There are sites based on sexuality, age, race and religion for starters.  There are sites based on different  philosophies such as vegetarianism, environmentalism, philanthropy, etc.  There are sites for people looking for married people to hook up with, short or tall people to fall in love with and even a site dedicated to people who love horses -- equestrian cupid.

While this may seem ridiculous at first glance, once you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense.  Equestrian cupid can help you find other people with a great love of animals, horses in particular.  This group of people would have many things in common besides horses.  They would all love nature and the outdoors.  They would all be interested in being physically fit.  Perhaps these people would be more rural as opposed to urban which can make a huge difference in one's lifestyle choices.  A love of animals usually also entails a kinder, gentler personality of people.  People with a soft side who care about animal rights and cruelty against animals.  These are all great qualities for a mate, even a spouse, to possess.

One of the best parts about this site is that it enables members to have a FREE sign-up.  This means that you've got nothing to lose!  If you're a horse lover, a friend of horses or even just someone who'd like to be, check out the site today!

Weird Online Ad: Used Prison Potty!

I'm all for re-use and recycling but this ad really takes the cake.  It's definitely a few steps past the line for me anyways.  I can't imagine what the heck you'd do with it.  A decorative planter for the front yard?  I'm sure the neighbors would love it.  How about putting it in the corner of your teenager's room to remind them of how much worse things could be?  I certainly wouldn't want my beer touching it...Just imagine how filthy disgustingly dirty it must be.  Bleach can only do so much.  Anyone have any creative re-use ideas for this??

Hemp Wii Controllers -- One Step Too Far!

 

 

Wii accessories come in every possible variety now.  This "eco-friendly" wii controller is an example of going one step too far! lol  It looks like a Survivor version of a wii-mote.  In actuality, it's just a normal wii controller wrapped in hemp.  The funniest thing is that it actually works!  Maybe they could make these things actually eco-friendly by using non-toxic devices, recycled plastic and making them so that they last an extremely long time.  There's tons of ways they could green these devices.  This is cute and funny but unfortunately, not one of them!  It's still badass though and I totally love it!  Half a thumb up.

Re-Use Project Gives A Whole New Meaning To The Term Disk Drive

This creative reuse project gives a whole new meaning to the term disk drive. I guess that's why they've got such a wickedly awesome personalized plate! This car even has old computer keys attached all the way along the windshield although it's hard to tell from this shot.  They're the white bumps on either side and on the steering wheel console.

Who even knew that these disks came in such a wide range of colours?  I love the pattern they've created with diagonal lines going across the hood like a quilt made by your Gramma.  This is definitely a creative re-use of old materials that gives people something neat to look at while, at the same time, keeping it all out of the landfill.  I'm not sure I'd really recommend gluing random stuff to your car but it definitely does show what can be done!

Funny Online Ads -- Best How We Met Story EVER!!!

I've heard of some pretty funny/weird "how we met" stories but this one really takes the cake.  And it takes it really fast too!  I can't imagine that this guy will find this girl that he "bumped into" but perhaps if people keep spreading the word she'll hear about it.  It sure would make a great story to tell their grandkids one day.

The first sentence of the ad alone makes you stop and think WTF?  Streaking?  That's right the guy was completely nude except his new shoes (which I'm sure aren't the only thing she noticed) and he's looking for the girl who tripped him.  Maybe he can spend his $100 on taking her for dinner...

The Streaker Tripper - m4w


Date: 2009-03-01, 3:26AM EST

I was streaking through the Diag Friday night at 2:15 am. Coming around the corner of State and Liberty, fast as a naked blur, I bumped into you and we both fell to the ground. I was a little upset with you at first, cuz I scratched my right butt cheek pretty bad, but I knew it was my fault. You said, "Nice New Balances," And all I could say was, "Thanks," with the adrenaline still rushing. In less awkward circumstances, I would have liked to talk to you. I had never run into a girl that fast or naked before... I didn't know how to respond so I helped you up quickly and kept running. Since my friends paid me $100 for making it to Kerrytown with just my socks, shoes, and a big smile, I'd like to take you on a date. You looked pretty fit so maybe you'd like to go for a run sometime. Hit me up! Bye!

Environmental Friendliness (or Lack Thereof) of Used Condoms

Condom Vase - Sonic Design by greco2104.

An article I wrote on lip gloss and Aids had me wondering about the effect on the environment of condoms.  There doesn't really seem to be any definitive answer on this.  One piece of advice is to always use a condom.  The rate of HIV infection is soaring as are the rates of many STD's.  That's not even mentioning the unplanned pregnancy issues involved.

One sure solution is to not flush condoms.  They may look disgusting and gross in the garbage can but when flushed can lead to all kinds of issues.  They can clog your plumbing and lead to some expensive (and embarassing!) plumbing bills.  They could end out having to be "fished out" of the infrastructure's solid waste treatment facilities...imagine having that job:(  The worst though is to have used condoms end up in lakes, rivers, and oceans.  There are thousands and thousands of them stuck to coral, floating on the surfaces, ending up on beaches and endangering water life.  It is recommended to wrap the used condom in toliet paper (not plastic) and dispose of in the garbage.

On the issue of biodegradability, there is great debate.  The non-latex PVC condoms are made from plastic and are definitely NOT biodegradable.  Sheep-skin condoms are biodegradable but do not protect against STD's.  The pores of the skin are small enough to keep the sperm in but not small enough to ensure safety when it comes to HIV and STD's.  This is a good choice though if you are in a monogamous relationship with someone who has been tested.  Make sure that these are still placed in the garbage though.  While they are compostable, the scent will attract animals.  Oh, and that's pretty disgusting!

So that leaves us with regular latex condoms.  The latex in and of itself is not an issue.  It comes from rubber trees and is completely biodegradable.  The bodily fluids are biodegradable.  What causes an issue is how the latex is processed and the chemicals (spermicide and lubricants) used on the exterior of the condom.  There are lots of environmentally friendly, organic and biodegradable lubricants on the market that could be used which would probably help.  The vulcanizers that are used to harden the rubber (tiny immature giggle) is said by some to make the latex unable to biodegrade overtime.  The effects of the spermicide are also not good as this can leech into groundwater and become a contaminant.

The important thing to remember is to make sure that condoms ARE used.  There are new research and production techniques being tested.  Specifically, Nantex in Brazil is making small numbers of environmentally friendly condoms as we speak!  Ensure that all condoms go to in the garbage instead of down the toliet and keep your eyes and ears open for new condoms coming to the market.

Funny Online Ads -- Best "Looking for Work" Ad I've Ever Seen!

Times are tough in the current economy and people really need to work at finding jobs.  I think this guy here has a great idea.  He tricked me into looking at his ad by advertising an Ass Kicking Machine!  The machine itself is glorious and shows off his impressive skills.  Plus, if you don't give him a job, he's got a machine to take care of you!!!!  Absolutely hysterical and ingenious.  This guy definitely deserves some credit.  I like the fine use of shoes too as everyone knows I'm a self-confessed shoe addict.  This machine could even be environmentally friendly if it's made with repurposed shoes and sustainably harvested local wood.  lol  I'm not sure if he's looking for compensation for himself with remodelling at $20 - $25 an hour or if that's what he wants to pay the perfect person to do the job that any ass could do...

 

********ASS KICKING MACHINE*******


Date: 2007-08-28, 2:34PM PDT

I am looking for candidates to try out my new invention for a carnival. I need people with a good strong butt. Duties involve sustained blows to the rear by different brands of shoes attached to a rotating ferris wheel device. This job is not for people that have hemmroids or any other ailments of that nature. Must be able to pass background, have a clean/ perfect DMV and pass a drug test from hair samples. Basically im like any other company I want that perfect person for a job that any ass can do. Oh and If you need any remodeling done I have 10+ years experience and my own tools.

In some of the cleanest graffiti I've ever seen, Green Works by Clorox sponsored this reverse graffiti process.  It combines guerilla style street art, graffiti and environmental awareness by cleaning off layers of dirt from filthy walls to reveal a beautiful look at what could be there instead of dirt, grime and urban sprawl.

Each blade of grass is painstakingly clean off to reveal an incredible outdoor scene full of flowers, trees, hills and a really clean Green Works logo.  Green Works is the line of Clorox that uses natural cleansers instead of their traditional bleach laden chemical cleaners.  I can attest to the fact that these cleaners work as good as, maybe even better than, they're older counter parts.  I've always been allergic to bleach but have had no problem at all working with the Green works product line.

This project of the Reverse Graffitti Team in particular is a 140 foot mural in San Francisco's Broadway tunnel.  The team is lead by artist Paul Curtis who has done similar reverse graffiti green art projects in the past.  This is definitely something I'd love to see more of!

Okay this just screams "crazy" to me. This guy must really, really not like dill pickle chips. Will Trade For Ketchup! Hysterical. Has he ever heard of returning something at the freaking store? I wonder how far this guy would be willing to drive to trade for ketchup? Hmmm.  I wonder what he did to his roommate who committed such an error as to get dill pickle instead of ketchup?  What was he thinking???
