Tag 'em and bag on 'em

Hey there,

Hope you had a good Memorial weekend and took some time to reflect in and amongst the barbequing and whatnot. In just the opposite of thoughtful reflection, this website has you type in the first word you think of when looking at an image of a celebrity, and see what other people thought, displayed in tag cloud style. The internet's judgment is amusingly harsh and will probably have much more harshness to spare if they add a few more photos. No doubt, people can't get enough and will be crying for more.

The Quest for Every Beard Type
This guy has been growing a beard every winter for some years now, and every spring, he has a little fun with it and attempts as many facial hair variations as he can check off his list.

Disrobed by Backhoe
This is pretty much a construction worker's dream -- guy uses a giant mechanical shovel to slowly (and carefully, I might add) remove a woman's clothes on an Italian TV show. Next up -- the forklift diaper-changing...??? (Thanks G)

Shampoo ads for men
Those ridiculous commercials equating hair washing with a certain kind of exuberance, now remade for men. The guy's performance really lifts an idea that on paper, anyway, seems not even vaguely amusing.

LEGO Boulder Chases Indy, Crashes Into Car
Five million multicolored pieces to create a solid boulder to reenact the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark down the streets of San Francisco. The result: instant classic and some minor vehicular damage.

Mobile phones have come a long, long way
With all the time you spend with that sleek and tiny cell phone, you may have forgotten the early days of lugging a two-pound battery pack and holding a brick to your face. This brief video morphing montage takes you on a nostalgic trip back to the early days of cell phones, starting from 1985 (a Motorola DynaTAC) and making its way to modern day and even a glimpse into the future.
