This video has been making the rounds on digg and elsewhere and is kind of cool. But looking at the comments made me despair a bit. Imagine what aliens would think if they were to read the comments on their clandestine videos.
As Jake pointed out earlier today it is 7-11; the day of free slurpees. The free slurprees celebrate over 80 years of 7-Eleven history.
Don’t get too excited though, its more like a free slurpee shot than a free slurpee. None-the-less it is worth stopping in for. The little free cups are by the register, snag one fill up and walk out. No need to stop at the register or anything.
Seeing as the ruins have been ruins for the last 50+ years it seemed like a good place to practice tagging art. I don’t remember who all did which ones and I don’t remember their tag names so in no particular order with credit to paintjunkie, gthing, America and friends we proudly present graffitis for your viewing pleasure.
Gthing made the discovery of a lot of VHS crew tags and we were pondering the meaning of that when he discovered their anti-crew, the BETAMAX crew. Betamax totally pwn’d VHS by tagging over their stuff and even posting anti-drug graffitis.
Somewhere in the valley these two crews must be battling for “respekt”, saying things like “you got served!” and “yo.” Watch out for these colloquial urbanites; they could be dangerous.
If the artists would like to claim their work, leave a comment on the linked flickr page with your tagging name.
Anyway, I hadn’t really thought about it at all for a long time then I got a random comment notifier from that Post. It seems that one of the participants, that is Mace Glazier, was doing a vanity search and found the page.
How cool is that?
I actually had a debate as to whether I would post their names or not because…well, if you were interviewing for a job and they googled your name, would you really want them to know that you are involved in something as nefarious as giant burrito construction?
Of course not. But I figured they would all be proud of their involvement so I put it up. Looks like I was right because Mace was all stoked to find himself associated with the giant burrito.
May it always be so.
I was contemplating my new found stardom and realized that there are some other people who deserve millions of fans almost as much as I do. I present to you, our very own, Eric Hoffner:Shredder of Gnar, Defender of the Saxons. We love you Eric.
Did I mention to anyone lately that I’m totally famous? Well…just a reminder.
As a fairly direct parody on WillitBlendSewelldirect is kicking off it’s new internet series called will it shatter. We basically take old products that are defective or discontinued and stick them in liquid nitrogen for a few minutes before we hit it with a pingpong paddle to see if it shatters. I can’t believe I’m an awesome forever internet superstar.
Yesterday brought another movie night with a bit of a theme this time. We celebrated Jewish passover! We made Kippah’s, Kosher food and watched a Jewish film (The Pianist). Read all about it and check out the pictures of Jewfest ’07
Last night movie night carried a special theme with it.
Jewish Passover
In our planning I didn’t think we’d even have any Jews there. As the night got under way we got into a discussion about the spelling of Kippah (pronounced Yamacka) and to my surprise Mitchell revealed himself to be our local Jewish expert. He grew up Jewish and celebrated passover with his family.
Feeling legitimized by our new found jewishness we moved forward with vigor. We made kippahs with pride. Everybody designed their own and we clipped the makeshift kippahs to our heads. Rad? Sweet? What’s the word I’m looking for? Ah, yes, awesome… dot com. Enjoy the pictures.
We even put a plate out for Elijah but he never showed. I don’t blame him, all he got were chips, onions and wannabe Matzoh.
For anyone curious, we made Passover Chicken and Chips, Mini Potato Knishes, Asparagus and Jolly Rancher kool-aid. Everything was kosher…at least I assume the kool-aid was.
