Corn or vinyl?




Ever wonder what a tortilla sounds like when spun on a record player. Who'd have thought it?

Attention get




The slogan "Keep [My City] Weird" might have originated in Austin, but those folks in Texas got nothing on Portland, as witnessed by this bizarre bagpiping ball balancer.

And some good gifs as Mad Men meets modern age digital advertising in this well-done Tumblr.

Writeous




Seb Lester knocks out some freehand corporate logos that bear uncanny resemblance to the originals. (More at his Instagram.)

And use that power wisely... self-publishing mishaps yield horrendous ebook cover designs (and in some cases, plots).


"I make pictures and someone comes in and calls it art." -- Willem de Kooning

Ledge end




Video of an insane lunatic doing some parkour jumps across building ledges is 15 seconds of spine tingling. Featured comment: "He's very brave. I wouldn't be caught dead in cutoff jean shorts."

And what must be a popular Japanese game show features two women, a cockroach, and a clear plastic tube. Up to you to make your stomach turn with just one click.

'Nam flashback




You will not laugh. You will not cry. Two popular alterations to a Full Metal Jacket scene combined in a liquidy form.

And a quick quiz... can you name the presidents for every applicable letter in the alphabet in under a minute?

Firewater




This "epic" battle between firehose vs. flamethrower reminds of comic book characters facing off with power streams or whatever. Just a few silly string cans away from real-life rochambeaux.


"Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that." -- George Carlin

Eleventh plague




Hilarious-ish and true short animation mocks humanity's near universal addiction to smartphones.

Or just embrace it and send (presumably) unwanted goat messages to other people's phones.

Dog gets beat




Passive pooch plays percussion to White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army". (And does a fine job of it.)

Gravi-tea




Is this man pouring tea, pulling taffy, or just testing the boundaries of street vendor physics?

Nailed it




Intramedullary nails are quite the workout to work out, and the removal is more than a little off-putting. These doctors should spend more time at the batting cages than the golf course.

And a Tumblr of not just facts, but ultrafacts.


"I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places." -- Henny Youngman

Do unto others




Short-fused monkey takes no guff from his antagonist and delivers swift and merciless jumpkick-to-the-face justice. Almost seemed like they had a long-running beef...

Type in your age and find out what David Bowie was doing at the same time.


"It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance." -- Thomas Huxley
