Sweet Wheels! Dog Born With Back Legs Only



I love dogs more than I love some people and that's the truth. Ask my mother if you don't believe me. She's visiting and she has to sleep on the floor.

Hope, a Maltese puppy, was born with two little nubbins instead of front legs. So what did the people at Southern Comfort Maltese Rescue in Chattanooga, Tennessee do? Simple, they made her a pair of wheeled front legs.

"The wheeled device was created by orthotist David Turnbill free of charge with makeshift shoulder joints connected to model airplane wheels. Each of the device's 'arms' can move up or down independently of the other, allowing Hope to pivot and turn. The spring-loaded prosthetic arms hook to a custom-fitted chest plate to allow Hope to lay down or sit up without removing the prosthetic. The wheels she uses as front legs took some getting used to and at first the tiny lap dog would tip over to one side."

Now Hope is completely accustomed to the legs and can runs laps around her other puppy pals (but please, no stairs). Wow, that really warms the heart, doesn't it? Mine sure feels like it's on fire. And that's not just the spicy breakfast tacos talking. I just hope this doesn't start some sort of sick two-legged pet craze. I catch you brandishing a saw anywhere near an animal and it's gonna be you needing wheels. Click pic for more pics and a video.

Thinking Chihuahua wonders how difficult it would be to get Hope "ass up, face down."

Toaster Launches Your Toast To Heaven



Freddie Yauner is a nutjob. A nutjob with a dream. A pretty lame dream. A dream of building The Highest Popping Toaster In The World. And here it is. It uses high-pressure CO2 and a mechanical arm to blast your toast through the ceiling and kill the woman in the apartment above yours that you swear must run on the fucking treadmill directly above your desk all day long. That's it, I'm going up there and screaming at her until she cries.

UPDATE: Damnit, she distracted me with a loaf of banana bread and I forgot what I went up there for. I think she's a witch.

Sn4tchbuckl3r's Second Chance Continued

I started posting this because it was from the same people that produce You Suck At Photoshop (YSAP), which I love. I STOPPED posting it because it started to suck. Fast. But, I decided to give it another shot. And I'm glad I did.

At the end of the YSAP series, Donnie went missing. Sn4tchbukl3r decides to leave his internet community behind and start a new life in Peopleburg, hence his second chance. It turns out, Donnie's in the same place. And since YSAP starts up again on Friday, and yes you'll see it here, I've decided to post the last episodes of Sn4tchbuckl3r's Second Chance. So deal it with.

Horrible: The "How To Play Guitar Hero On the Nintendo DS" Video

This is a video explaining how to play Guitar Hero: On Tour with the Nintendo DS. It ranks right up there with the Star Wars Dance Competition in things that are unbearable to watch.



Seriously, I almost killed myself while watching it. I was just slipping my head through the noose when it ended. Don't believe me? I dare you to watch the whole 3:30 and then tell me with a straight face you didn't entertain cutting yourself. Because you did. You also entertained finding out where Mr. Eyeliner lives and cutting him. Go on, admit it.

If you're a fan of the game...and I know you are...you'll think this is the stupidest thing to ever happen to Guitar Hero.

Check Out This Bullsh*t

Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg have a new movie coming out, and no pop culture phenomenon is safe from these modern day Voltaires. In Disaster Movie, the biting satire includes:

- Iron Man getting hit by a cow
- The girl from Enchanted getting hit by a car
- Hannah Montana getting hit by a meteorite
- Hancock hitting his head on a lamp post
- Carrie Bradshaw getting hit by Juno

I’m not exaggerating. That is the actual synopsis of this trailer. If I saw one of these guys walking down the street I’d like to hit him in the skull with a tire iron. Gosh, what a clever parody that would be! The best part of the spoof was when I bonked his head, LOL!

I will say though they found a good match for Sarah Jessica Parker.

Oh My F*cking God: George Carlin Is Dead

George Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain. A few hours later he was dead at the age of 71. His last concert was this past weekend, at the Orleans casino in Las Vegas. It would be hard to understate how much George Carlin meant to stand up comedy. He, Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor pretty much defined what it could be. When they started, comedy basically consisted of one person bonking the other one with something, then fiddling with their bowtie. Carlin helped change all that.


The AP says...
"Acerbic standup comedian and satirist George Carlin, whose staunch defense of free speech in his most famous routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" led to a key Supreme Court ruling on obscenity, has died.
He produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a couple of TV shows and appeared in several movies, from his own comedy specials to 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure' in 1989 — a testament to his range from cerebral satire and cultural commentary to downright silliness (and sometimes hitting all points in one stroke).
'Why do they lock gas station bathrooms?' he once mused. 'Are they afraid someone will clean them?'"

For as good as he looked, 71 seems young to die. Although I guess it makes sense in this case because Carlin famously and unapologetically did tons of drugs and abused his body. 71 in Carlin years would be like 198 in normal years, so when you put it in context he had a pretty good run. The lesson here? Everyone should do tons of drugs. I’m gonna go get some right now! Click pic for more.

FLASHBACK!: "I Want To Hold the Hand Inside You"

Here Grandma, I Got You a Pretty Snow Globe

Snow globes are glass spheres filled with little scenes and some plastic snow that whirls around when you shake the thing. These ones just happen to be filled with very unusual scenes. Like, well, a police officer putting a bullet in some dude's melon. There's a shit-ton more after the jump. They were all made by artists Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz and are part of a limited edition of 250 pieces. Each goes for about $750.


"These two artists have been working together since 1993. They sculpt miniature figures set in snowy outside scenes that depict sometimes horrible situations. Each snow globe tells a story and it's up to the viewer to fill in the blanks of those stories. Some of these miniature people seem trapped in a fairy-tale like story."

So what's the story behind the scene in that globe? My guess is an officer is practicing his close range shooting skills on the back of some guy's head while another copper watches and, quite possibly, gets aroused. Freaking classic, just like mom used to read me before bed.

Click pic for a ton more (men throwing kids down a well, gun toting grandmas, etc.) and feel free to fill in the stories if you want.

There Is Ice On Mars

This is a picture taken by the Phoenix Lander of some ice on Mars. Or, alternatively, some ice in a Hollywood backlot that somebody staged. Or, alternatively, Photoshopped ice. No but seriously, it's ice on Mars.


"The confirmation that water ice exists in the area directly surrounding the lander is big and good news for the Martian mission. NASA's stated goal for the Mars Phoenix was to find exactly this -- water ice -- and then analyze it. With the latest news, the first step is accomplished. All that's left now is to get the water into the Phoenix's instruments, a task which has occasionally proven more difficult than anticipated."

Now I know what many of you are thinking -- "So freaking what?" Well apparently you don't understand the profound implications of such a discovery -- now we won't have to bring bagged ice to keep our drinks cold. Click pic for the article.

Snowboarding & Star Wars

Gnar Wars is a Star Wars themed snowboarding video. It features lightsaber battles, Boba Fett getting his dome piece chopped off, and even some wily Jawa bastards. I guess it's worth a view.



See? Not too bad. But not worth the repeated viewing that MY Star Wars themed sports video deserves. It's called Par Wars, and it's golf themed! It mostly consists of a buddy and I waving around 7-iron urinesabers and trying to douse each other with the contents. We're a class act. The must see finale even features the destruction of the Death Bar (the name we gave the clubhouse bar after they refused to serve us anymore). We flew an X-Wing Fighter (golf cart) straight through that bitch and shot proton torpedoes (golf balls) at the main reactor (bartender). KA-BOOM!

Cloverfield and Lost's J.J. Abrams + Real Life N.Y. Clue/Puzzle Apartment = New Movie

J.J. Abrams is starting work on a new movie inspired by this crazy ass puzzle house in New York. It's a bit difficult to explain, but I'd love to see it someday.


Here's an excerpt from the article that might help.

"The finale involved, in part, removing decorative door knockers from two hallway panels, which fit together to make a crank, which in turn opened hidden panels in a credenza in the dining room, which displayed multiple keys and keyholes, which, when the correct ones were used, yielded drawers containing acrylic letters and a table-size cloth imprinted with the beginnings of a crossword puzzle, the answers to which led to one of the rectangular panels lining the tiny den, which concealed a chamfered magnetic cube, which could be used to open the 24 remaining panels, revealing, in large type, the poem written by Mr. Klinsky."

The aparment even comes with its own book and soundtrack. So if anyone wanted to do some Indiana Jones clue stuff...that's the house. Click pic.

Post # 3,333: The Oldies Mixtape

So, if you know me, I have this thing about threes. This just so happens to be my three-thousand three hundred thirty-third post and it's about a subject I'm not too keen about: Oldies. For the record...I really don't like oldies. And it's actually for the same reason I can't stand hip-hop. The shit's all the same. BUT, I've compiled all the oldies I absolutely can't stop listening to. There's something unique about every song...something that makes it stand out. Some of these songs I'd actually say, are a little ahead of their time, back in an era where radio was all the same...much like how it is now. So I present to you, the Oldies Mixtape. Enjoy.
