The Lurker's mistake

I had said a week ago that the Old Spice Commercial I liked the best was the one I posted. I unfortunately embedded the wrong one. So here is my true favorite.

This will cause your mind to explode!

Baby got fake back.

Are you a jive talker?

The Lurker missed the anniversary of Airplane but that doesn't mean I shouldn't show this to you.

Thursday, July 22

full of sheik

The Lurker's mind was blown away when he was shown this by the Skulker. What in the hell is going on with commercials? They've all lost their mind.

The Lurker thought it was funny


Just came across one of the better wikipedia articles ever written. It is about dying from laughing. This is the way I want to go. Here is a quote from the page and here is a link to the article. Read it.

On 24 March 1975, Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's Lynn, England, died laughing while watching the "Kung Fu Kapers" episode of The Goodies, featuring a kilt-clad Scotsman battling a vicious black pudding with his bagpipes. After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter, Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and died from heart failure. His widow later sent The Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments of life so pleasant.

I needed a test post

so here is a boy with a fantastic sweater

Well the Lurker is convinced

This guy is part of the organization to stop gay marriage. After watching the video you will be convinced to do something. My guess is that it will be to do baby talk but who know. Seriously anyone can do what he is doing and call it speaking in tongues.
sigh

Ah Cafe

The Lurker has fallen in love with this song. The video is wonderfully sadistic as well.

HOPE is here

This week the Lurker is heading to HOPE, Hackers on planet earth. This will all be above me but it should be fun as hell.
Update: sadly the Lurker is going to miss this one as well. See you in two years.

What the hell is this?

Is it for real? I looked into as much as I could take and it appears real. Main Street Bites Back wants to do two things. They want you to sign a petition for Glenn Beck to run for President and they want you to buy items at their tag sales (it's connecticut) to pay for ads for his presidential campaign. The Lurker watched all the videos and I have to say don't do it. Your mind will melt. I am a professional. However if you really really want watch this one. 

Props to Sad and useless for finding this. However you guys screwed me over. Your title Clowns are scary made it seem that she tried to dress as a clown. I kept thinking WOW what and awful makeup job. Then it hit me. This is her normal look.
Egad.....

Oh my gosh!!!

This is one of the most painful readings of fake info ever.

Ow again!!!!

Like having a conversation with a dining room table 2


By now you have realized that the Lurker lives in Massachusetts and while going to one of the many summer festivals there was a card table that had Obama hitlerized (new word!) and they had a vote for Rachel Brown poster. Mrs. Lurker attempted to shut them down with the vicious weapon known as silly string. Yes we bring the big guns out when we get mad. Upon getting home Mrs. Lurker went to this woman's site. She is the Democratic opponent to Barney Frank. Yes that Barney Frank. As an aside, I back Frank wholeheartedly. Now back to this woman. Do you remember last summer when that woman started asking why Frank supported Nazi healthcare? Well it turns out it is the same woman. Yeesh!!!! 
The other wonderful fact gleaned from her site is the way that she would revitalize jobs. 

I know what to do, and I’m committed to fight to save people’s lives, by stopping the Wall St. bailout, and rebuilding our economy with a future-oriented Mars colonization program,.....
Rachel Brown

The Lurker had no idea we were under way with the colonization program. She clearly is a better candidate. I mean Frank never even mentions the moon never-mind Mars. He only talks about this planet. 

Don't get me wrong I would like to get to Mars more than most but seriously that is her plan? 
Lastly her big backer is Lyndon LaRouche. Well I guess I am done with this info but I will leave you with the video that started her on this awesome path to the stars and beyond.

So damn cool

This is a compilation of blooper reels from various Charlie Chaplin movies. The Lurker has always thought of this actor as a flawless comedian but it is great to see even the legends screw up.

Everyone can use a walking stick

The last line is the best!
Holy Moses walking staff - $500 (Chula Vista)

I'm going to go ahead and part with my friggin rad Holy Moses walking stick. It's totally Biblical looking and you can do more than just strut around town with it. You can hit people with it and say something like, "You are healed!" and probably get away with it because of the power it might possess. I haven't tapped into that power yet by the way, but by looks of this thing I know you can bust out some rad miracles. You don't even need to have a limp to use it. It's a great accessory and goes with most any style of dress.

It measures 3ft 10in exactly and weighs 2.8 pounds. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is but it's solid. I'm sure you could break some window and crack some skulls with it if needed.

Please email or text 619-392-2919 and no lowballers! $500 firm. Don't call joking around either ok?

By the way if you call it a Wizard stick or some sort of nerdy Dungeons and Dragons or Comic Con crap...DEAL OVER!! I know what this is, it's a Holy Moses walking staff.

* Location: Chula Vista

The Lurker has another migraine

So here is a nice little pic that goes with it.

Picking it on the L - w4m - 22 (Union Square)

new york craigslist > manhattan > personals > missed connections


I saw you today (Friday) on the L. It was about 5:30 PM or so. You're about 30 or 35, white, around 5'10" or so, with dark, curly hair. You were wearing a greyish, casual shirt.

I'm the tiny Asian girl you kept sneaking a peak at. I could tell by the direction of your glances that you liked my chest and my bottom, and I know you found me attractive.

I pretended not to notice your interest in me. After a while, the train got more crowded and you receded into the corner of the car. With all the people, you couldn't see me any more, but I could see you in the reflection of the window of the car. You looked away from everyone and started picking your nose.

I have a fetish for that. I squeezed through the crowd of people to try to get nearer to you. Just as I got close, you slipped a booger into your mouth, and then our eyes happened to meet.

You were clearly mortified, and you looked away. I tried to push past a large man to get even closer to you, but then, the train stopped and the door opened, and you bolted out. I have a feeling that you were not planning to get off at Union Square, but that you just had to escape from the embarrassment.

I wanted to chase after you, but I suddenly felt unsure and I hesitated, and then the door closed and the train departed. Now I regret my inaction.

I'm telling you all this because I want you to know that the girl whose body you were ogling today really does have this nose-picking fetish, and I want you to realize that I really did want to make a move on you once I saw you with your finger in your nose. I'm fantasizing about sitting on your lap, facing you, and taking off my top for you while I gently play with the inside of your nose with my fingers and tongue. I'll eat your boogers in front of you, and you'll experience first-hand how excited it makes me.

If you're interested (and I hope you are!), email me and describe my blouse and shorts in detail (color, style, what was showing). I know you noticed my clothes and body, and this will let me know that the person writing is really you.

I don't have high hopes about this working. Most people are put off by my fetish, and you very well might be, also. Plus, it's not very likely that you will even read this ad.

But I have to try. I really don't have anything to lose by posting this in this anonymous forum, and I have a lot to gain if I can get together with you. We *both* have a lot to gain.

Write me. Please.

Karma is wonderful

The real question is what were they hoping would happen?  

Update the video was pulled for copyright so here is another copy of it

Airbender was summed up in the comment below

The Lurker is a big fan of the animated series. It is fantastic, complex, whimsical and just good TV. Apparently the movie was less so. The comment below tells it all. Also see what the fans had to say that saw this adaptation. Thanks to Zack for sending this along.

"M. Night Shyamalan did what the fire nation could not... He destroyed the Avatar..."

My new hero

The Lurker came up with many inventive ways to park in the city. Some that worked and some that didn't. I never considered this one though.

Now one of my favorite videos

Since The Lurker despises the new version of Karate Kid this video makes up for it.
