Happy Flaming Fruitcake with Systm

Today is the first day of the new season. Here in the northern hemisphere, that means it’s the first day of winter and here in NYC we already have some snow on the ground. This means the holiday season is upon us. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the Solstice or anything or nothing in between, we’ve all experienced the magic and fear of the everlasting fruitcake.

Watch as the Systm (subscribe here) crew finds some very creative ways to handle fruitcake this holiday season (watch it here in HD). Let’s just say that fire and firearms might be involved…

Enjoy!

Conan O’Brien Brings Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV onto Late Night

I may be a bit late to the party, but I just started watching Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library TV (subscribe here), sure I missed the first 450 episodes, but better late than never, right? My only excuse is that I really don’t like wine, but after seeing him interviewed on a recent episode of Internet Superstar (subscribe here or get the HD version), I realized how entertaining and smart he was and I knew that it didn’t matter what I thought about wine, I NEEDED to be watching his show.

From that Internet Superstar interview, I learned that Gary had been invited onto Late Night with Conan O’Brien and I found this clip of his appearance and this SOLIDIFIED that watching Wine Library TV was a must.

Enjoy

Also, after deciding to write this up, I found that Gary made an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres show, now she wasn’t as adventerous and crazy as Conan, but I have that clip below.

Webdrifter Finds A Breatharian

Wiley Brooks is the strangest person I’ve seen thus far on Web Drifter (subscribe  to the flash version here). He promotes a lifestyle where eating is not necessary. Yes, you heard me right, eating is optional under his grand plan.

You’ve got to respect a man who practices what he preaches… but then you find out he enjoys eating McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese and drinking Diet Coke.

At least he offers his knowledge for an affordable cost… wait, no, his teachings on how to keep nourished solely with the air you breath will set you back $20 million!

History of War… Food Fight

I love film, but I usually only get to see mainstream movies. This week, thanks to Boing Boing TV, I was able to watch this short film called Food Fight, a film by Stefan Nadelman and presented by Tourist Pictures which starts with World War II and essentially reenacts all the major wars since then… using food to represent the countries involved in the conflicts.

The film is a lot of fun and it is done very well. Check it out.

Powerthirst!

Powerthirst is for the human on the go, one that wants to be WAY more than human. Do you want all your fat to fall off? Grow the kind of muscle that would make Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark Mcguire and Barry Bonds tear up in jealousy?!?!?!

Thanks Dan for the linky linky. Enjoy

David Lynch Does Gucci

I’ve seen my share of commercials as well as more than my fair share of movies, but the idea that David Lynch would be directing a Gucci commercial is just mind blowing, not to mention, a really BAD commercial. Sure Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tom Jones can hock T-Mobile while Arnold Schwarzenegger can shill for… whatever this Japanese energy drink is both here: and here: and Alyssa Milano can sing for crazy Japanse pasta all she wants

but it would have been better if Lynch had gotten Dennis Hopper to suck some air from his breathing mask, only to find out it wasn’t air, but Gucci fragrance all along or maybe get Kyle MacLachlan to take over a sand planet by spraying Gucci by Gucci (yes Gucci the company named the fragrance Gucci, creative, no?) on the evil galactic overloards oppressing the people of said sand planet or better still, have Naomi Watts and Laura Harring start making out after spraying a few spritzes of Gucci. Now THAT would be a good commercial! Where’s my Academy Award?

Thanks to iwatchstuff (who also deserves to win an Academy Award for awesome) for the heads up with the video. Watch the commercial below.

Sometimes, there are no words

I, uh… well, yeaahhhh I just don’t know what to make of these, so just watch. Thanks Denise for melting my skull.

More proof about our tv

For the love of Satan, this show is funny, who knew you could shoot a hilarious reality show inside a library!

The lovely Denise furnished me with this

Stop watching after the biting

Bananna Guard?!

 OK, I was going to say something so witty, that for all the ladies reading this, it would have made your pants fall off, but in the end I realized after seeing this picture from this article on Geekologie that there are no words.

Toast to Aid a Paperless World

After reading this article from Geekologie, I believe this will solve our problems with deforestation and wasting paper. Now, instead of writing a sticky note for someone, you can just leave that same note in someone’s piece of toast. Once the note has been read and absorbed, the reader can then absorb the medium the note was scribed on.

All we need now are candy pens that use jelly/syrup as edible ink, making ALL our notes absolutely delicious.

OK, this story is making me all kinds of Tony Robbins Hungry.
