This is one I’ve been meaning to share. I think the original link came from the SiliconValley.com newsletter I receive. Anyway, check it out. The Guardian on Flickr has posted a LEGO take of news from 2011. Great stuff! ### The pepper spraying cop imagery was quite popular. Here’s a link to a meme.

An Option for Containing a Shout…

Being frustrated can trigger alls kinds of reactions. You might want to punch something or dash off an angry tweet, Facebook post or email. Or sometimes, you may just want to get it all out with a long, loud scream or shout. Something happened the other day that reminded me of a Flintstone episode. I [...]

Mash-up Cracks Me Up…

So I was working my early morning shift when I suddenly became aware of a song I hadn’t heard before. I paused and pondered what was striking my ears. Then I laughed out loud. For real? So I looked it up and I regret to say, I am quite late to the party when it [...]

Sonic ‘Secret Weapon’ Ad: Summertime Fun!

Caught a glimpse of the new Sonic ad today while watching a baseball game. It was one of those times I wished I had a TiVo on this particular television. So instead, I poked around on online and found it posted on YouTube. The ad, called “Secret Weapon,” is very funny. See for yourself! What [...]

Too Much Fun: Morgan’s Post Walk-Off Interview…

Jim Rome was right. This interview is well worth watching. The guy gets the game winning hit in the bottom of the 9th (vs. the Mets). Interview highlights: 1 – He didn’t know it was the game winner. 2 – The “T” sign is for his alter-ego’s Twitter (Tony Plush) 3 – And to wrap [...]

Pearls on Career Path…

Today’s Pearls Before Swine strip is a keeper.  Anyone who has worked a corporate job with that feeling that “there’s more to life than this,” can relate. ###

At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, an X Games champ drove a Team Hot Wheels truck down a giant ramp –jumping it a ramp-to-ramp distance of 332 feet.

What Would You Do for an Audi?

Imagine a world where drivers of high-end Mercedes, BMW and Lexus cars are willing to ditch their vehicles mid-commute to get behind the wheel of an Audi. Imagining isn’t necessary. There is a new ad called “Car Carrier” from Venables Bell & Partners, that shows that scenario played out. Apparently, according to Adweek’s post, the [...]

Chicken Winging: Another Great Hockey Phrase…

I just became aware of another cool hockey phrase: Chicken-winged. It isn’t a reference to food. Rather it has something to do with one player holding onto another player’s stick in a “wing-like” fashion. A sort of tug-of-war ensues resulting in an inadvertent hooking penalty. That’s what happened during the Western Conference semifinal series, where [...]
