Google starts April Fools Day early

I'll be updating this tomorrow with some other favorite April fools day gags.

Google Maps for NES. FINALLY! I haven't had a new game for my NES in forever.


GMail Tap. I hate typing out emails with the keyboard. Now i can use morse code to do it. Thank god.

MadTV Fridays!

Can you believe it is friday already? This week's MadTV Friday! showcases several parodies of some popular tv shows. I decided to do this after finally watching Heroes and while the first season was awesome the parody is excellent.

First let's do Scrubs. Nails it.

Mock Drafts

I had to post a link to this for permanence. The community on bleacher report has the Bears taking UA WR Juron Criner in the 4th round. I want Criner on this team so bad. Amazing value at this pick.

UCB

After Sawsheezle posted the Downtown Arby's video, i've been looking around the UCB website and checking out some original videos. Here are two of my favs: One Two (unfortunately i can't embed them).

Trying not to get my hopes up TOO high

Just thought I would remind ourselves that there is a school whose yearbook is named the Skagina.

MadTV Fridays!

We know how much capital_prototype loves MadTV Fridays!, but RyDub has let it be known that he requires hilarities before he can go to bed on friday nights. Here is an amazing compilation of a series of skits from the late 90's and "metrosexual" era. Absolutley amazing.

Lance The Dance bashes Bud!

Accuses Selig of extortion. I could think of a few other things to add to the list...

Ein Fur

Yesterday was a hard day for Sawsheezle. Illinois State lost in heart-breaking fashion to Stanford in overtime to end their season and this caused his sheezness to nearly have a heart attack before even watching the Walking Dead season finale. Also, compounding the pain was the fact that Tim Tebow is essentially going to be kicked out of Denver in favor of Peyton Manning and his broken neck. I am sorry Tim. I never wanted this for you. You provided a spark to young Sawsheezle here hoping that his ultra-raw talent could somehow be molded into a wrecking ball of NFL glory like your's was/will be. Sadly I guess it isn't meant to be. I wish you the best Tim.

MadTV Fridays!

It's friday again. Today we look at a few videos highlighting how honesty can sometimes go too far.

Browser Wars

Again, I might be the only person left using firefox, but I just can't handle chrome. I am now using this x64 variant of firefox called waterfox. So far so good. I think it is as native firefox as can be except it has been compiled into 64bits.

RyDub builds a (semi)portable Frisbee golf basket Part 2

UPDATE: Bought one. It's now in our office :-) (and yes that is a shark dirigible in the upper right corner)

I've been pricing out parts to build my frisbee golf basket and i'm coming to find that it'd be just as cheap to buy one. Even after changing to PVC pipe, it still came out to about $100. So i decided to look into getting a really nice one. These are the two i'm looking at getting:

SkillShot (about $120)

Definitely the most portable, folds up like an umbrella and has a carrying bag, and only weighs 26 lbs. Only has 16 chains as opposed to 24 like the DISCatcher Pros on the courses. It does only have one row of chain too. From reviews i've read, it actually has very similar "grab" like the Pros do. It does have a smaller "window of opportunity" for catching the discs, but this could a good thing because it would make you be more accurate.

DISCatcher Sport (about $175)

Almost like the real thing. Obviously more expensive but this is high quality stuff right here. Galvanized powder coated, sturdy base, etc. Weighs more at 40 lbs but does come about into 6 pieces. Has 18 chains (an inner and an outer layer) so that's better. 

He's wearing fucking moon shoes

I've been watching a bunch of these Rage Quit videos. They are GOLD. This one is one of my favorites.

Flaming Dr Pepper

NOTE: I am writing this after having 3 of these. I'll check for spelling errors and the such, but i'm not promising everything will make sense.

If you are a fan of Dr Pepper (like i know Sawsheezle and i are) then you owe it to yourself to try one of these. I've heard of them before, but having finally read Assholes Finish First by Tucker Max, i decided to try one these.

Pretty simple recipe. I used Coors Light (they say you can use ANY beer, one site even used Guinness but i don't think that would work well but who knows), Disaronno, and Bacardi 151 (WARNING: THIS IS FLAMMABLE). The Bacardi is mostly for the Flame part. You will also need a pint glass and a tall, skinny shot glass (a short one won't work because the beer will overflow into it).

So you take a pint glass, fill it with enough beer to not overflow into the shot glass that you will be placing into said pint glass. Then fill the shot glass 3/4 of the way full of Disaronno and 1/4 of Bacardi (be careful not to spill any because you will be lighting it on fire and you don't want any excess on you or the counter). Carefully drop the shot glass into the pint glass. When that's done, use a long lighter to light the shot glass on fire (you don't technically have to do this, but some people say the fire causes caramelization which is important to the flavor). Let it burn for a couple seconds then blow it out. Now chug the entire thing. It's important to chug so that it all mixes well. Tastes pretty damn close to Dr Pepper! I would only recommend 3 at the most, unless you've had something to eat. I did this on an empty stomach and i am definitely feeling it. Like, definitely feeling it.

Have fun and try not to light anyone on fire!
UPDATE: Pic of ingredients

Pics of it all ready to go into my belly (just so you know, this is now my fifth, i forgot to take a picture of it all made the forth time) :-)

FIRE!

Holy shit, i'm drunk.

RyDub builds a (semi)portable Frisbee golf basket Part 1

So i've been wanting to build a portable frisbee golf basket for about as long as i've been playing frisbee golf. I finally decided to get serious about it (mostly because i have a stable income now) and came across this video.



Pretty fucking awesome right? Well he puts all the equipment and instructions here. I'm trying not to spend more than $100 on supplies so anything i can find is definitely preferred. I was going to wait until i got the tire, since it's a pretty crucial piece of the puzzle, before i started building anything else. Well, on his way home from church today, my dad spotted a tire and rim in a pile of junk on someone's curb. So he brought it home. We're now going to Lowe's to price out the other equipment and, probably, buy them. We may even start building it today (i really want to finish it too, but i may be getting ahead of myself.)

Will update with pics and other stuff in Part 2.

MadTV Fridays!

It's Friday so you know that that means! This week I want to call your attention to a hilarious skit that basically sums up the battle of the sexes. But first, watch this song you've heard before and love and then watch the MadTV video. It is eerie what could happen if you take things a little too far. Be careful.

Illinois State in Missouri Valley Tournament Final. Live on CBS!

1:05 PM CST. Live on CBS the Redbirds face #25 Creighton in the MVC final. They bested #14 Wichita St. in yesterday's semifinal matchup. It was an amazing game. Go Redbirds! If they win, they are in the big dance. I am sure they want it bad.

MadTV Fridays!

A new segment on the fur "MadTV Fridays!" as presented by Sawsheezle. I spend a lot of time blowing off steam on Fridays by watching MadTV video clippings from yourtube. Coach Hines as played by Keegan Michael Key is one of my favorite all time characters. Here is a brief introduction to Coach Hines.









Sadly I can't embed the best one. Please have a look at this link.
