From Russia, With Blocks

This has got to be one of the coolest things EVER. IWANT.

PS: I love Japan.

I’ve been tempted to post about Palin ever since she was picked. But I couldn’t muster up the effort… she’s just too depressing (What a fucking “spit in your eye” to Hillary). I guess I was waiting for this inevitable trailer:

Note: I didn’t have the time to resize the video, so just watch it in full screen.

In response to this.

Ugh…politricks. Do you think that the trailer would be (not “will be”… please) true to life?

PS: Too many scratched records though. Shoulda used a “wah-waah-waaaaaah” or something instead (does anyone know the official name for this classic sound effect?).

PPS: Once again, truth is stranger than fiction.

Update: Leave it to the internets to take a quote & photoshop the hell it.

2008 Summer Paralympic Games.

Holy shit. Wheelchair Basketball, Blind Triple Jump, Blind soccer, Super Swimmers…

I hella missed out. These athletes are fucking amazing.

PS: The Big Picture is fantastic. I meant to pimp it a while back, but it got lost in the 2read madness (login w/ “hagure” & no password) that I’ve accumulated. Check out their Olympic pix too. A definite add to The Reader, hint hint.

This was apparently made in the 90’s. I’m really confused about that.

Uh… yeah that’s about it. What do you all think the surprise is?

PS: Maybe you should check this out boo (and anyone else in round LA on the 20th). Make me some kimchi!!!!
