In the name of beer artistry, your vote is needed!
















M&HD friend Stacey George has been slaving away to combine two passions of equal importance - quality art and quality beer.  Her current endeavor is the creation of label artwork for Clown Shoes Brewery, a tasty and now well-labeled local brewery.  Make no mistake - due to her efforts, the world is now happier, hoppier place. 

Take a look at her work and process here

And be sure to take a second and vote for her in the poll on the top-right!
  

Epic Over Eating...

You know that feeling you got when you watched Super Size Me and you thought to yourself "I may eat badly, but at least it's not THAT bad!"? Well this takes over eating and spins it right back into a win.

I actually can't pick just one of his videos, so here are a couple of my favorites.

For those of you with a sweet tooth:


For the Meat Lover:


For the vegetarian:
...I'm just kidding. Vegetables will never be epic.

I'm Bing 'effin Crosby

Props to M&HD buddy Rob for sending these along, as this spoof on an obscure Christmas classic is pretty great.

 Here's the original Bing Crosby / David Bowie bit:



And here's the Will Ferrell / John C. Reilly remake.  Definitely worth watching the end of this one:


Play it safe for the Holidays...

I'm been telling people for years that just because it's the Holidays, doesn't mean you should let your guard done. Thanks to the ladies of Team Unicorn, here are some quick tips on remaining diligent.

Happy Holidays! And check your loved ones for bite marks!!

I found my thrill in Mother Russia...

It's hard to decide which is the best part: Putin's mad right hand melody skills on the piano, or the fact that he's singing a song about sex (No, I got the innuendo Fats. We all got it.) at a children's charity function.

Recently discovered Twilight inspiration? Nope - US Navy PSM for syphilis

This "unearthed" video is a little long, but this quote from the Wired.com author summarizes it well:

"...the Navy once saw fit to describe the hazards of syphilis to young sailors using the menacing bite of Count Spirochete (gross), an undead, ever-predatory monster representing one of the more potent venereal diseases. (Or so we remember from health class.) At excruciating length, the count takes viewers on a multi-continent tour of the history of syphilis, all in an edu-taining cartoon. That’s right: In the 1970s, the Navy produced the VD version of Schoolhouse Rock."

Actual line: "Ah, my old friend gonorrhea..."

2010 Movie Mash up!

Usually I am not a fan of mash up's, but this one is done extremely well, especially since it includes 270 movies. All from 2010.

Check out this link to view all of the movies in order of appearance:

Apparently, it's NOT acting...

Either Nic Cage is SUPER METHOD or he is not actually trying very hard in those movies of his...

Cage got into a screaming fight with a friend on a street in Romania, and thanks to a wonderful passerby with a cell phone camera, we get to witness it! Unfortunately, the video is pretty dark and difficult to understand, and the captions appear to be in Romanian. However, it's fun to watch as Nic yells something about being a f***ing retard, thinking they were brothers, and finally declares, "I will DIE in the name of honor!"

All that's missing is an explosion and maybe John Travolta.

Help me Obi-Wan, you're the only way to Rawk...

Yet another astounding trend in Japan.

Crowds flocking to a sold out tour featuring a popular artist sounds pretty normal. What is not normally is that the artist is a 10 foot tall animated hologram. I watched the video for the "headliner" (WTF?), but to actually see how the hologram actually works, I thought this was a better video.

If you pause at 1:02, you can clearly see the glass wall where she's being projected with the live band in the background. Why are they in the back, cause SCREW those guys for being humans, am I right?


I'll give her and her engineers credit for the sweet dance moves, but when I envisioned a world with life-like holograms, it just wasn't this. I'm still waiting for the Jaws 19 poster to leap out and take a bite.

Do what comes naturally, I suppose...

A little post-thanksgiving treat for everyone...

Arsenic and New Lace...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I've been waiting for this announcement since I was a kid. A new life form has been discovered...on Earth.

You can read the gizmodo article here, but basically this has completely blown all of our theories on finding a new sustainable planet or new life forms, out of the water. (Eeerr...solar system?)

NASA will be holding a press conference at 2pm today to discuss exactly what means. Feel free to tune into the live streaming broadcast here as well.

Yeah guys! We did it!
