OK, I know it’s not funny, nor amusing to most of you - but it has to be the best infomercial EVER made.
Marvel at the self-blending party mugs! Be astounded by Mick and Mimi’s blending skills! Laugh yourself senseless at Berman suffering from a bad crack comedown!
OK.. it was funnier when Amber and I watched it at 4AM in the morning…
No - I wasn’t drunk…
She could have been mistaken for a drunk…
but that was actually the Rohypnol speaking…
err.
Don’t forget that Tuesday the 5th of December is the Day of the Ninja.
Please feel free to dress up like a ninja, throw shurikens at your co-workers or just scale your neighbour’s fence using those really cool hand-claw things you can buy off the internets.
I, grum, on this legendary day of the ninja shall be sprinting over the rooftops of Perth’s CBD - because NOTHING is cooler than a ninja..
well..
aside from ROBOT NINJAS!
oh.. and perhaps drunken lumberjacks..
More info about this momentous day is available at the official website at dayoftheninja.com.
And for a good read, check out Perth’s own online ninja comic Shirt Ninja.

I have an absolutely shocking memory, but there are a small number of events which have happened in my life that have been burnt into my brain and will last forever. It always astounds me when I realise that I can recall where I was during these events that may have happened decades ago, yet I can’t remember what color underwear I have on right now.
I remember that I was lying in bed when I heard that Princess Di passed away and that I was reading a blog by a camgirl by the name of Cookie when September 11 happened. The memories of the time when I lost my virginity are crystal clear, yet I was completely smashed on a slab of Emu Export at the time - I can still smell the stale beer in the soaked blanket that we were under, and the voices from the room next door filled with strangers from the Internet that I had only just met in person 2 hours ago. The person under me, I had only known in person for less than an hour and we had only spoken online through a total of 5 separate eMails.
I also remember the day that I was standing in a huge toy store located in south Jakarta when I first discovered quite possibly the greatest franchise ever made. The store was crowded and it was late in the afternoon. My mum had dumped me here whilst she went shopping for my (now late) aunt’s birthday. It was a normal thing for me to be baby sat by the wall of TVs in the toy store, I’d Usually sit there staring at the wall watching untranslated Animie for hours on end. That day I was excited when I knew the latest import of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam was arriving but when I arrived, I noticed a new stand surrounded by kids a lot older than I was. I walked up to the stand and one of the kids shoved a small box thing in my hand which was tethered to a larger grey box sitting next to a television. One of my cousins owned one of these boxes but never let me play it when I came over. I never fussed over it as I had a much more powerful box at home - a computer with the latest 386 chip in it and a hard disk storing a whopping 10 megabytes of data. My cousin never was impressed by my boasting about my expensive toy - he was simply content with what he had and preferred a control pad over a keyboard.
At the toy shop, I stared at the screen in front of me clutching to the control pad in my little hands. The kid next to me gave me a brief rundown on how to work the game and showed me how to move the little blocky thing on the screen. Once I got the hang of things he said I should start from the beginning and reset the console. The screen flickered then the title of the game appeared - The Legend of Zelda. I hit the start button on the Nintendo control pad and started to play.
I was hooked. I HAD to get this console.
This year marks 20 years since the legendary Legend of Zelda franchise was first released on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game spawned countless sequels and prequels throughout the last 2 decades and even today still reigns supreme with the best game ever made thanks to recently released title “The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess” Nintendo on the recently released Wii. Earlier in the year I even had the Triforce tattooed to my arm which is a powerful relic found in the mythos of the Zelda series.
Below are two videos that I found on google video. The first is a live-action parody of the original game that true oldschool gaming nerds (such as myself) will find hilarious. The second, an hour-long summary of the entire gaming franchise, ideal for anyone looking to get themselves a Wii for Christmas and a copy of the new game.
enjoy.

OK, here I am, minding my own business whilst listening to my homies, the Eclectic Boogaloo shake their broadcast thang on the radio. Young Simon starts to tell the radio listening public about the hilarities we went through during the Twin Cities Wanneroo Show OB after-party (OB stands for “outside broadcast” for those who aren’t as hip as I and don’t know radio-speak) on the weekend.
Well, Simmo decides to share with the rest of the world the fact that he has succumbed to the concept that I am in fact the king of Gay Chicken, with me crushing him in a best-out-of-three impromptu tournament.
Not even a minute after my elite gay chicken skills are proclaimed on live radio, I get a text message from three separate people offering to take the gay chicken crown away from me.
What surprised me the most is the fact that more than 1 person was actually listening to Twin Cities FM..
But I will have to decline the challenges - you can’t throw down the gauntlet in this game. You have to be sneaky and pounce on your rival - attack when it’s least expected.
So you boys want my title?
You’re gonna have to take it from my cold and lifeless hands. Game on Molls!
For the rest of you wondering what the hell I’m talking about - below is a clip from scrubs that brought this highly competitive sport to my attention (yes, I realise its a shitty clip, but I couldn’t be bothered finding a better copy).
Enjoy.

Last night over drinks, the topic of viral marketing in music was brought up when OK GO’s song “Here we go again” played on the stereo. The Sick Puppies song “All the same” was then discussed, so today I decided to grab a copy of their EP off iTunes.
Because I love the above-mentioned song so much, I’ve decided to post the clip for all of you to enjoy… It always makes me smile when I see this clip.
PS. A little birdie tells me that the Sick Puppies will be hosting a free gig on the 15th of December thanks to Myspace Secret shows. Unfortunately the location is a secret (duh!), but chances are it will be in Sydney like most other free gigs that Myspace have held. If you are on Myspace, pop over to http://www.myspace.com/secretshowsau and add them as a friend. You will then be informed of the details roughly a week before the gig.
And whilst you’re on Myspace, don’t hesitate to add me as a friend as well :)

With Scrubs returning with series 6 in less than a week on NBC, I’ve been on a Scrubs binge for the last 10 hours and been re-watching season 5 to death. I’d like to share the laughs with all of you, but I’ve run out of popcorn and I don’t like sharing the couch when I’m watching my funnies…
plus I’d have to put some pants on.
I don’t wanna.
But instead, I stumbled on this clip on youtube. So enjoy the greatest medical related TV comedy of all time.
Yeah, take that M*A*S*H.

PS. Sorry if you’re watching Scrubs on channel 7, i think you’re half way through season 5 so this video clip may contain spoilers… Don’t blame me if i ruin anything for ya.

Oh.. I don’t know…
