Bio: Sydney-based graphic designer with a taste for the delightfully obscure.

USDA reports 406,000 pounds of "cattle heads containing prohibited materials recalled"

I'm reminded of that episode of The Simpsons where Lunch Lady Doris complains about the quality of the cafeteria supplies, pointing to a box labelled:

GRADE F MEAT
Ingredients: Mostly circus animals, some filler

Marriage proposal as patent application

April 5, 2008 6:14am

At first I thought, "Odd, but kinda sweet and at least original." But then I started to think of mail-order brides as having an EULA and I made myself sad. I'm going to go play with something shiny now to make myself feel better.

Steampunk comedy monologue

"...the Leonardo of jerking off."

If I can't find a way to work that line into a conversation in the next 24 hours then I have failed as a human being. Thanks, Cory :)

Craiglist stoner thanks pizza guy for best pizza ever

In my fantasies this would be scenario for the best 20 minute play ever written by Harold Pinter.

Flintstones-style pedal car gets its day in court

April 3, 2008 8:24pm

If there's ever a funeral procession held for the eventual death of the petrol-powered vehicle, I vote this to lead the procession. The hulking shell of a classic gas-guzzler slowly and solemnly drifting past, silent save for the squeaking noise of frantic pedalling. Poignant, ridiculous and comical: an absolutely fitting tribute.

19th century Japanese flip-over drawings

The two heads in the bottom left corner remind me of Kashira, the three bouncing green heads in Miyazaki's Spirited Away. As a side note, I've always thought that they'd be an awesome idea for a set of three upholstered footstools/pouffes for someone with mad craft skillz. Anyone up for the challenge?

Unusual retro craft project -- dolls in a dead tree

March 31, 2008 5:15pm

Hmm... I think this one scores low on the craft factor but more than makes up for it in creepiness. Imagine the poor child walking into this room only to find their favourite dolls re-enacting a scene from 'Hurricane Disaster at Doll Picnic'. Personally, I imagine them as a flock of murderous dolls whose flying attack is accompanied by an unholy screeching; very The Birds meets Piranha Part Two: The Spawning.

1972 Ideal "Bing Bang Boing" commercial

March 31, 2008 2:30am

It reminds me of a game from my childhood called Cascade by Matchbox. You can find some YouTube clips of Cascade in action here. Big Bang Boing does look a lot more flexible in its setup though, and a helluva lot of fun!
