Peep Shows!

It’s that time of year again in DC….Peep Shows! For the fourth year in a row, the Washington Post holds a Peeps Diarama Contest (Does your local paper do that? Didn’t think so.) This year they got over 1,000 entries! The winner is an “Up!” themed diarama, titled “Eep!” There were so many good ones, so I posted some favorites below, but be sure to click through the Post’s slideshow for more Peep wonders!

Eep!

“Creating a Masterpeep”

“Sterling Coopeep”

“White House Party Peepers” (the crashers)

“Where the Wild Peeps Are”

“Super Peepio Brothers”

Thanks Melissa for pointing this out!

The most Americuh thing i’ve ever seen.

VIA Oelund at Reddit:

I’ve discovered a new way of cooking bacon. All you need is: bacon, tin foil, some string, and.. oh whats it called?… oh yeah, an old worn out 7.62mm machinegun that is about to be discarded, and about 200 rounds of ammunition.

You start by wrapping the barrel in tin foil. Then you wrap bacon around it, and tie it down with some string.

you then wrap some more tin foil around it, and once again tie it down with string.

It is now ready to be inserted into the cooking device. I ripped the tin foil a little bit getting the barrel inserted. that part of the bacon got severely burned by hot gasses.

After just a few short bursts you should be able to smell the wonderful aroma of bacon.

I gave this about 250 rounds. but I think around 150 might actually be enough. But then again I don’t mind when bacon is crispy. Ahh the smell of sizzling bacon mixed with the smell of gunpowder and weapon oil.

And the end result: Crispy delicious well done bacon.

Shiner in NYC

Just found out they have Shiner (and Lone Stars) at this place Rodeo Bar & Grill on 27th and 3rd. I’m going there after work on Friday and I want all of you to join me. They have real Texas BBQ and (supposedly) one of the best margaritas in the city. check it out.

I know it’s out of the way, but let me know if you want to come drink my favorite beer in the world with me. I’m going to call and make sure they’ll have it before we go so look for an update around noon today.

*UPDATE:

Vader Voice: “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!” They have stopped carrying it as of this year… my life is now in shambles… I’m in a place that only Shiner Bock can get me out of…

*UPDATE 2: I’ve decided to go anyway. No Shiner, but hell, they have Lone Star damnit and that’s pretty good too. They also have great BBQ and margs. so yeah… let’s go! expect an email about this.

Barack looking at awesome things…

Someone has too much time on their hands for this gem, but I don’t care.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary – VIDEO EDITION

It’s March! And looking back at our first year on blogfwends, I quickly realized there’s too much greatness in the archives. So I decided to give ‘videos’ their own post.

(My apologies to Aleks for all the ugly youtube video embeds.)

My push-up bra gonna help me get my mannn:

Sorry, Kid. But I have to pass this on:

Tiger Woods, 【蘋果動新聞】伍茲深夜撞車 老婆破窗救夫 疑點重重:

Girl reads fan fiction about Ashton Kutcher:

Hamster on a Piano:

One Man, One Dream, One Chance:

Walter told me:

How to Pimp Yo Crib:

Why Men Have Nipples:

The Daily Mail stole my headline for this post.

The Daily Mail has these great photos of bugs covered in morning dew today. Too bad their headline is, “Would dew believe it?“, though. Also, these bugs are totally ripping off the late Alexander McQueen. Show some respect, bugs!

Pretty sure if Lady Gaga saw these she’d figure out a way to become a diamond-encrusted-moth for her next video. I’m ok with that!

Battlefield Earth: Worst. Movie. Ever.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long. The screenwriter who penned Battlefield Earth has just apologized publicly for his involvement in The Razzie’s winner for Worst Film of the Decade. Excerpts:

“Let me start by apologizing to anyone who went to see Battlefield Earth.

It wasn’t as I intended — promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn’t really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those… Scientology… was a great place to meet women… My script was very, VERY different than what ended up on the screen. My screenplay was darker, grittier and had a very compelling story with rich characters. What my screenplay didn’t have was slow motion at every turn, Dutch tilts, campy dialogue, aliens in KISS boots, and everyone wearing Bob Marley wigs”

Read the letter in it’s entirety via New York Post.

Apparently there is still justice in the world.

Antiques Web Show, Vol. 36

You are all in for quite a treat this day. As the weather has betrayed us back to our Wintery master, I have taken it upon myself to bestow upon you the gift of some XTC to brighten and warm your weary souls. It was a tough choice to select which albums to post as they have quite a few, but these are personal favorites. No one does awesomely weird like XTC’s unmistakably brilliant sound. Here is: English Settlement, Skylarking and (if you didn’t get it through my email a few weeks ago, the totally psychy-concept album in which they performed under the name The Dukes of Stratosphear) Psonic Psunspot. Enjoy!

Anniversary Favorites: GO!

Michael became a zombie.

Nic Cage became everyone

Revolution became hip

Posters became relevant

ShamWow became ShamWhoa

Brooklyn became fireworksless

Ashley Keller became a mystery

Kanye became a meme and the narcissist that he always has been

And lexicons became confusing.

It’s been a great year.
