More Freaky Russians

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On August - 24 - 2010

Argh! How much it would suck to be his off-spring. “What would you like me to throw at you tonight? Knives or darts?”

This Russian guy is a policeman with a penchant for playing like Carney Folk. Oh contrare! Take a look at the video to see what he subjects his two daughters too.

True – the mind is such a malleable object and pain is subjectable; therefore it makes sense that one can learn to ‘control’ the pain response. However…holy crap. I for one would not like to be his human dart-board, or sideshow cohort. Ouchy.

The Sexy Babushka?

She goes by the name the Sexy Granny. Apparently.

Some Russian entertainment. Best not consumed with food.

Embrace Your Inner Rock Star, Yeah!

Having been part of the music industry for many years, I can honestly say that I have never encountered this LIVE. Hopefully I never have to.

I think inspiration is drawn from a range of sources – everyone from Iggy Pop to a 1980’s Schwarzenegger, with a hint of Hippy-Artist-who-likes-Nudist-Camps thrown in for good measure.

I present,

Best Safety Video Ever!

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On March - 24 - 2010

As if this German Forklift Safety video isn’t the best safety video ever!!!!!!

I’m sure the script writer was channelling Monty Python (or taking acid) when he concocted this one. CLASSIC! It’s Gold…

Oh Klaus – when will you ever  learn??

Ok today’s post is an example of simple, but effective animation.

Rejected – Best Oscar Award Winner Movie

Goes for 10 minutes so you may want to watch it when you have a Smoko – do these excuses for breaks even exist anymore, or is there a workplace ban on them too? Make sure you catch the end where it gets more creative ;-)

The Oatmeal – why it’s better to read than eat

Today’s offering is a link to a website I like to check out every so often during “rendering time”… Meet Mathew Inman. A nutty web nerd who makes great cartoons, comics, quizzes and silly shit that is really entertaining.

Why? Cuz even a workhorse designer needs some humor in his/her/its life occasionally, and this guy makes me laugh.

I only need to post one link as there is enough on his site to keep you entertained for some time. Providing you have a sense of humor of course…

Some of the appropriate-to-me comics are included the following:

The Little Beatboxer that Couldn’t…

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On February - 10 - 2010

Meet Shane Lee – budding musician, karaoke champion, Beatbox Master, video-blogger…you name it.

Some of his YouTube repertoire includes hits and classics such as “You Spin Me Right Round,” “500 Miles” and “I’m Too Sexy.” There are covers of what I think are supposed to be ZZ Top tunes. There are Tributes to Michael Jackson, and he does a fantastic job of mutilating such tunes as Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer”, and the Gunners’ “Sweet Child O’Mine”… Oh Lordy, without further ado, I introduce you to Shane Lee. Cue the canned applause. Thank you and take it away…

Try Beer Pong. Too much time on your hands?

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On June - 3 - 2009

For any of you who want to look back on a Wasted Youth, you might as well waste your time on something productive. Like, oh I don’t know…honing your Beer Pong skills perhaps?

Mmmm...Beer Pong. If you love playing with balls a lot, then this game is perfect for you!

Mmmm...Beer Pong. If you love playing with balls a lot, then this game is perfect for you!

Whilst the exact origins of “Beer Pong” are somewhat sketchy and claimed by several various educational institutions, the basic rundown is that Beer Pong, also known as Beirut, is the game that involves ping pong balls being thrown into cups partially filled with beer (or water).

It does not use paddles like table tennis, and requires skill and coordination. The era of its origination has become somewhat a debated myth in it’s own right – some sources claim it started during the 1950’s and others say the 70’s – it seems to have gained popularity during frat parties of the early 80’s. The general gist is that it’s a drinking game.

.

Like with pool or snooker, it’s so much more fun when you’re good and you perfect a few tricks. Of course this generally requires dedication. Being drunk a lot, having too much time on your hands, and spending large chunks of your waking life perfecting your tricks. In short it’s cheap thrills for poor students.

Landlord’s Rental Nightmare…

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On October - 28 - 2008

What Died in Here?
Check out this Landlord’s Trashed House

"Holy Crap"

"Holy Crap"

And apparently there’s a rental crisis in the city I live in. For a crisis of the different kind, just look at the destruction left behind for this landlord at his rental property in Houston, Texas.


My, my…. How anyone could survive living in that filth is anyone’s guess. The short of it is that after the resident, who had a months rent outstanding, could not be contacted, they Landlord’s book keeper broke in and found this war zone.


Supposedly there are 2 cats, and the tenant is missing. My guess is that they’re all dead beneath the heap of shite that litters this place. Read the full story and see more imagery here: www.buymydump.com (preferably not whilst eating)…
