#106 Stationery boners

If you're anything like me and need a mop everytime you open the office stationery cupboard/walk into Gordon Harris, you've probs taken the quality not quantity movement. These two gems are my current stationary obsessions.

The About Blank notebook - no logos, opens fully FLAT, binding where you can rip pages without other pages falling out, opaque paper AND white lines printed on one side so you can write, or ignore and draw. *salivates*

And, Urban outfitters Get the hint adhesive labels.
I can't fucking wait till they arrive, back ordered for another two weeks, (FUCK THAT) I went nuts and bought three packs of the bastards (FUCK YEAH).


Effective office communication through bringing the office LOLZ. Genius.

#105 Rainbows



Now all I need is a unicorn.

#104 Back to the future

In case you missed it, Monday was 'the future.'

*sigh* Oh to still be a child of the eighties convinced that right now we'd be Tony Stark.

#103 Badge fun



We have one of those guys who comes into work with a different collection of books/toys/carseat organiser-esque type crap each week, that've been gathering dust at their distribution warehouse. They sit there, we have a nosey, and although I've totally banned myself from buying any more from him, in the last two weeks I've bought a badge maker set and a battery operated toy rooster that dances to music and squarks when you wring it's neck. *hangs head*

When I head to Splendour in OZ this month I'm missing out on a family reunion, so thought it'd be awesome to make my parentals and sisters badges with my face on them for the LOLZ. UNTIL I FOUND OUT I CAN'T GET REFILLS AFTER I'VE USED THE TEN. Which places me in a bit of a conundrum as all of a sudden the ten I have now seem real valuable and I wanna do something amazing with them...

#101 Digital Holga

Nice wee project by industrial designer Saikat Biswas, a digital Holga that retains just the right amount of quirky Holga-radcore-ness. Nice one.

#100 That u hommes?

"Look...haaarder...'
*touches water as ripples change Simba's reflection to that of his father *

Appearing on SHOWstudio.com, a men’s fashion editorial for the September issue of Vogue Hommes Japan features Gaga dressed as man. Sorry, I mean her mysterious gender bending alter ego 'Jo Calderone'...

#099 The Bare essentials

A self-initiated project by Ashwin Patel, the stereotypical ‘must haves’ of the graphic designer -from mind set and values to tools and appliances.

Get your hands on one here!

#098 Boomin' Granny

Whenever I read something this ridiculous it's pretty much guaranteed to have happened in Oklahoma. Or Hamilton.

An 86- year old woman is currently suing the El Reno police department for tasering her (one would picture while crazily brandishing a rifle Beverly Hillbillies styles - but no)
BEDRIDDEN AND HOOKED UP TO AN OXYGEN VENTILATOR.

Hahaha what the hell?

Her grandson's account of events, is that after calling for emergency medical technitions to stop by to help with her medications - 10 officers turned up at the door instead. After telling them to leave they 'became "needlessly aggressive", then "stepped on her oxygen hose until Varner began to suffer oxygen deprivation" before hitting her twice with a taser.' the second hitting her in the chest and causing her to pass out.

Police claim she pulled a kitchen knife from under her pillow and said: "I want to die. I did not call you so get the fuck out of my house."

*crickets sound*

A bit like a fist fight with Steven Hawkins isn't it really (although I imagine he's perfected the 'wheelchair leg swipe' or has some crazy fucked up batman gadgets hidden away for such an occasion lets be fair).

#097 Shredding it

Italian street atists Sten & Lex developed a shredded stencil technique, making stencils and pasting them on a panel of wood as a poster. They then paint the whole board black, when it’s dry , remove the stencil leaving some parts on the board, and rounding it off the stencil is destroyed and becomes part of the poster.
Nice one.

#095 Tony Toni Tone

Is it just me or are TV 3 presenters all of a sudden real 'down' with NZ.

Seeing Toni Marsh still presenting the weather last night on 3 news, I was pleasantly surprised the little minx was still going strong, when all of a sudden my ears pricked up at '...a few clouds still mincing around in the arvo.'

Mincing around?!! Weather presenters say mincing around now? But wait, while processing said 'mincing' I then get hit with '...rain will still be cranking it out later in the day.' Cranking it out?!!

No need to be 'down' Toni, we're all sitting here waiting for the 'sun/cloud/rain' symbols while we picture you bouncing on the treadmill at Les Mills, in tights with a thrown up ponytail...

#094 Feelin it

I remember seeing this National Geographic pic last year sometime and staring at it for ages buzzing out for ages about them supporting each other in grief. A gaggle of Chimpanzee's consoling each other, hand on shoulder styles, while one of their clan who passed away of Heart failure was wheeled away for burial.
Animals aye.

I relieved my childhpood of wanting to work at a zoo, until I found out the logistics actually looked better in the brochure, and the chances of me becoming the Lion whisperer as I'd planned were far from the truth. When I was at prep school I used to tell people I wanted to become a Marine Biologist and study the rare amazonian river dolphin cause it sounded real brainy and fuck me people bought it. *flicks quiff*

Stumbled across this vid yesterday where a dog gets hit by a car on a busy motorway, is spotted by another dog, who dodges traffic to get out to him, and CAREFULLY DRAGS HIM TO SAFETY USING HIS PAWS.



I know.

#092 Free fall



Blowing up a whole pack of balloons last weekend for my niece and nephew without needing my asthma inhaler, all of a sudden seems less of an achievement...

#091 50 Centaur

...for the record, I'd probably give Canned 50 Centaur meat a bash too...

#090 The new white meat

You'd think selling sparkly Canned Unicorn Meat on April first being a gag was quiiiite obvious, but no. Lawyers from the American Pork Board have proven they apparently have too much time on their hands and/or sit on their sense of humour waiting with baited breath for intellectual property violations. (One would suggest getting out more)

Published on thinkgeek.com the Canned Unicorn Meat - with the byline 'the new white meat' - seems to have the Pork board lawyers with their knickers in a twist about the fact it comes so close to their trademarked registration of 'The other white meat' hahaha *slaps forehead* The first page of their twelve page cease and desist letter below (click to enlarge)

From thinkgeek's heartfelt apologetic press release

"It was never our intention to cause a national crisis and misguide American citizens regarding the differences between the pig and the unicorn," said Scott Kauffman, President and CEO of Geeknet. "In fact, ThinkGeek's canned unicorn meat is sparkly, a bit red, and not approved by any government entity."

I'd totally eat Unicorn meat just to shit rainbows..

#089 Chk Chk Boooooo

Oh god. The latest Clare Werbeloff fifteen minutes of fame milking highlight? Gracing the last print cover of Ralph (the last print issue ever) in leopard print hotpants and talking about her new Australian 'presenting role'.

Must admit when I watched it again I laughed cause it was all so ludacris. Gotta give the girl credit for capitilising on the fact that half of Australia wanted to bone the hell out of her stupid lying ass...



Groundbreaking interview with Ralph here. (minimal braincells necessary)

#088 Ride me inside me it's supertight.

Pop starlet Jackie Q (the character Rose Byrne plays in her new comedy Get Him To The Greek)'s new ridiculously oversexualised and over the top comedic modern pop pisstake 'Supertight'

Bahahaha man I love Rose Byrne.
