Poster Boy: Unmasked!
Speaking of Poster Boy,
iamachilles:
If you’ve ever been in the W 23rd Street C/E stop, then you’re probably very familiar with the work of Poster Boy, the street artist who cuts and mashes up posters in weird, cool, and interesting ways. (Check out this Poster Boy Flickr page.) This one’s my fave:
Anyway, when I started seeing this guy’s work a couple of months ago, I really wanted to...

Byron (Low Tax) Looper
This man is Byron (Low Tax) Looper. No, (Low Tax) is not a nick name. This former candidate for Tennessee State Senate changed his name to the words “Low Tax” in parentheses.
He started his political career as the Putnam County Tax Assessor. There, he was hounded by charges of corruption and indicted with 14 counts of various financial skullduggery. But the same year he was...
WatchI guess I should also reblog this. It’s pretty great.
claspy:
On the reblog train. Awesome, just awesome.
anthonyking:
I know everyone’s already reblogging this, but it made me cry too, so I’m reblogging anyway. It’s nice to be reminded from time to time that we’re all human.
patbaer:
I’m fucking crying right now.
I am an emotional mess, and this video is awesome.

I'm going to Babbo some time this weekend
I’m more excited than when I would see the Sky Trek Tower looming above the trees when approaching Six Flags Great America.

From the Orange County ATV newsletter:
…I did three rides on Sunday, the third was led by Rich Ferr, was a good ride, but some time we were heading directly into the sun and there was some chop. We held the Shoe kicking on Sunday around 4:00 PM, and I would like to thank all those that participated, it was a good show. Even though everyone couldn’t win, just by participating you were a...

Stupid joke, I know.
I was on CNN
Check me out at 1:12. It’s just my naked back, but hey, it’s me. I expect an IMDb page any second now.
Anyone else notice the resemblance before?

I didn’t give this entry a full part, as it isn’t a Brian (as far as I can tell), but check out what you can buy on the craft marketplace site, Etsy:
Apparently you can buy them with any name, but I think from the sample you can tell how great it would be to have my name on your ass.

The Hughes Opinion in the Claro Case

The government accused Claro, Jack Ferguson, Milton Wilkinson, Gary Hoskie, James Glidewell, Brian Glidewell, Michael Reeve, and Euan McNicoll of conspiring to mislead businesses about services they...

Most of their beliefs were derived from the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, a German text claimed to contain the spells from which Moses derived his powers. Here’s their cure for headaches:
Tame thou flesh and bone, like Christ in Paradise; and you who will assist thee, this I...

Awesome Video - 5/5 stars
My son is only 14 months old and loves this DVD. The first time we watched it he stood in front of the TV and danced to the nonstop music. The music if very upbeat and fun. I even found myself singing the theme song days later.

Tin can cellphone.
You’re already impressed, aren’t you? It’s a cellphone made to look like tin cans. The cans themselves have false bottoms to hide electronics. One of the backs of the cans flips out to hide a keypad. The cord between them is covered in fibers to make it look like a string. Note that this will not be used like the typical tin can, but rather one...
Eww
Yesterday, while walking home, I saw two obviously bootleg costumed characters within a block of each other. First was Mickey Mouse. His face was more like the Hamas Mickey Mouse (pictured) than the real one. He was dressed in a bejeweled marching band uniform that made him look like a gay Bollywood star.
Next up was crazy Elmo. You can see his scary, bulging eyes that appear to be made of...
Fitzcarraldo
Acclaimed German director, Werner Herzog, besides making some amazing films, has had some pretty insane productions. Let’s ignore the fact that he whips out fantastic scripts in literally two or three days. Let’s ignore that he insisted on frequently working with absolute nut-case, Klaus Kinski, despite the fact that he had to threaten a murder-suicide to keep Kinski on...
No longer funny:
Putting an ironic genre for your band on MySpace. Yeah, that’s so damn funny that you put “regional Mexican” or “Italian pop.” Even better than the first five hundred times I saw that. Oh, and I see you used all three of the genre slots MySpace gives you to do that. So your shitty band is listed as “easy listening,” “new age,” and...
