Awesome Animation


An experimental animation in a technique being called “stratastencil” devised by Javan Ivey. Each frame is one piece of 4x6 card stock. The result is quite mesmerizing.

Johnny Knoxville Nearly Loses It, Literally!



"I almost lost my own balls"
"Just got back from Oklahoma where I was shooting “Mat Hoffman’s tribute to Evel Knievel.” Had a ball, too, even though I almost lost my own balls in the process. Don’t want to give too much away because the tribute airs Feb 23rd on MTV, but let’s just say before letting Travis Pastrana teach me how to do a backflip on a motorcycle I should have had him teach me to ride one first. Heh-heh…bad for me, good for our viewing audience at home. Have to go now. Have to empty the piss bag on my leg that I have to wear for the next two weeks until my torn urethra heals. Ouch, and see you on the 23rd. By the way, lots of great stuff in the Evel Knievel tribute besides my trip to the hospital—lots!"
—Johnny Knoxville

Tube Thriller

I know it's been about five years since my last post, I'm sure all seven regular readers will forgive me though, love you all!!

I won't bore you with meaningless drivel in the shape of excuses though, you'll notice that there are still no ads for fat-loss programs or penis enlargers on this blog and that's the way it's going to stay, so my conscience is clean.

Anyway, loads of mad shit has happened in the time of my hiatus and I plan to bombard you with it in a barrage of crazy , often mis-directed, beautiful and amusing posts until I get bored of it, starting right now:

Anyone who has had the unfortunateness of travelling by tube in London will know the absolute misery it inspires in all it's regular patrons. Below is a rare example of tube entertainment, one of the most beautiful spontaneous interpretations of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" through the medium of dance ever performed. Absolutely magnificent, so good in fact that it actually roused a clap from one of the passengers!!
