In a scene eerily reminiscent of Homer Simpsons all you can eat seafood episode, Thiensville resident Bill Wisth was cut off from his ‘all you can eat’ fish fry experience. They sent him on his way – albeit with another 8 pieces - after he had eaten a dozen pieces, and the man is not happy. He’s now set about picketing outside the chain every Sunday until they make some changes.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching this guy, in one single interview he's provided me with so much joy and so many laughs. Sometimes I wonder what he's up to, and while I'm fairly certain it would either be doing some dots or sitting around after doing some dots - I bet he'd have a few neat stories up his sleeve. What I wouldn't give to hang out with him for a day.
This lady also seems pretty cool - it seems when there are bomb scares or fires, it really brings out the best people.
We're stoked to be working with Neighbours in producing an Exclusive range of apparell. Neighbours is a real institution around the world, and it only seemed right that we make their t-shirts. Check them out!
With Mother's Day coming up, we thought it would be a good idea to make a video to celebrate Mums and all the eccentricitues. check it out. OH, and big ups to Willy for making it. He's a highly talented film director with small thighs. Let us know if you want his contact details. He'd prefer to field enquiries about his production rather than thighs, but he's down for whatever.
Mum’s are pretty awesome, and we think this year they deserve more than the scented candles, soaps and moisturisers that you get her most years. That’s why we’ve been working with artist Greg Straight on a collection of kiwiana inspired cushions drawing on some of his popular icons used in his limited edition fine art prints and images of Aotearoa.
These cushions are a new, higher quality fabric than our previous offering. The prints are now double sided, and we’ve sourced a new inner that will make your dreams far more peaceful than if you’d had cheese for dessert.
Greg Straight is an artist and graphic designer living in Auckland. He has worked with lots of clients over the past few years and his fine art prints are stocked nationwide in galleries & design stores. He has worked in the field of visual arts for over a decade now and has the flexibility of a number of key styles. Watch him on facebook.
As bad as the Internet is at times, with its facebook posts about food and its part in the continuing demise of the English language – its most redeeming quality is well captured in this one video: Giving Grandma’s access to pornography and the sight of an African American mans penis.
I trust you’ll enjoy these cute older women. "TWO HANDS WITH SPACE IN THE MIDDLE!"
It's quite hard finding quality videos to put in the newsletter every day, so I figured I'd get our Mr Vintage facebook friends to do it for me. I asked for some Asian game show videos – as I have a deep love for Asian game shows and their ability to think of the outlandish and spectacular... Check our facebook page for all the responses we got, and though I didn’t make it through all of them (not yet anyway, on account of having other tasks to carry out on a daily basis), here are a few of my favourites already.
Cheers to Kelly Flux for the Ski Resort pranks; Japanese men naked in the snow is a dream:
Rima Workman – the Binocular Football; Makes so much sense. amazing:
Hannah Caston - not just because she is the cousin of my friend, but because submitted a lovely video of people fishing for marshmallows. genius:
Andrea showed me this video and I watched it about 7 times. Man sucks at hurdles so much he gets one stuck around his head. also makes sure the guy next to him is screwed. Cheers bro; real good guy.
I'm aware that you've probably already watched this - seeing as you've got the internet and all that - but there will probably be a few of you interested in watching this performance of a lady dancing on some butter again anyway.
The eyes. It's all in the eyes. and the hips. and the legs.
I don’t have a kid. But if I did, I’d imagine that I’d constantly be quietly comparing my baby's qualities to that of other babies I knew; who’s more attractive, who’s developing the best, who has the best chance of becoming an athlete – all natural thoughts I assume every parent secretly has.
With that, this kid definitely has the makings of an athlete.
When a youtube video gets around a million views, you could reasonably assume the video in question is pretty entertaining. When the video involves a Japanese man ordering a burger with 1050 extra pieces of bacon, you have even more reason to be excited. Not so much though, and I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but this video is pretty terrible – certainly not befitting a Mashable article on it.
Allow me to save you some time: man orders burger with 1050 pieces of bacon, man can’t finish it, man goes to bathroom – presumably to be sick - and a few other guys have some of his bacon. Video over.
If you're not familiar with the reproductive habits of the seahorse, you might be interested to know that it's the male seahorse that incubates and gives birth to the eggs. You might also be interested to know that when he does this, it looks very interesting... You can skip to 0:55 to see the magic begin.
Every now and then an artist comes along with what I like to call the entertainment trifecta; image, talent, and passion. Lisa has the added bonus of an amazing team behind her to choreograph and produce this spectacular video, which I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Apparently after the videos ‘success’, she deleted the video from her account. But it was too late, the internet has it now.
You've probably all seen this video, but you can't help but laugh at the gentleman with the very high voice. Very entertaining. I laughed for minutes when I watched this either Dutch or Belgian man.
One of the most uncomfortable things that can happen in today’s society is a missed or ignored high five. We've all been there; you put yourself out there, the high-five isn't reciprocated... do you just got for the shoulder pat when you're bringing down the high-five, or do you just clench your fist in quiet anger? Either way, just be glad your effort wasn't captured in this video.
