My good friend Gary sends over this little bit of joy from the Middle East. What? They have rednecks over there, too?

Happy Wednesday, Y'all!

Here's a sneak peek of what the movie Titanic would've looked like. If it were more like Snakes on a Plane:

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE !!!!

Why should we now be worrying about possible causes of Armageddon? The answer is a gargantuan machine - the largest, most expensive scientific experiment in history, the 'Large Hadron Collider', to be turned on next Wednesday.

This gigantic £4 billion-plus atom-smasher has been built under the Swiss-French border near Geneva, and is the most powerful device ever built for probing the secrets of the atom and the forces and particles which make up our Universe.

The LHC is, arguably, the most impressive machine ever built by Mankind. But a few people are convinced that it should never be turned on. A lawsuit has been lodged at the European Court For Human Rights by a small group of maverick scientists [Ed: i.e. Global Warming Scientists].

They claim there is a small - but not zero - chance that when the LHC is activated it will create either a mini-black hole which would fall into the ground and swallow the Earth from within. Or, even more bizarrely, trigger a catastrophic chain reaction in the very fabric of space and time itself, which would rip apart the entire universe like the skin of a bursting balloon. The LHC was not designed to destroy the universe, of course,

Of course, it was not DESIGNED to destroy the Universe.

Happy Friday, Y'all!

To make up for my last faux pas, allow me to present this video of a pilot cutting his birthday cake... with a helicopter (courtesy Bash). If this video can't pick you up after a tumble like mine, nothing can!

Proudest Dad of the Year Award

Hey, if John Edwards can win a Father of the Year award, this guy should get one, too. For those out there who're counting, this is an 11-year-old girl, with an AR-15, in a whopping 53 seconds:

Happy Saturday, Y'all!

Three observations: (1) I think my office would be 200% more productive if it were more like this; (2) Just think: Before The Internet, we might never have seen such brilliance; (3) Legs! Legs! LEGS!

As an aside, I'd fully support making this an Olympic sport.

Best Band, Evar!

nospam@example.com (Brian C. Ledbetter) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:39:38 -0500

Yes, it's absolutely true. Beer and toy musical instruments will definitely lead to awesomeness like this:

I'll be on the edge of my seat, waiting to find out which beer company is going to sign these guys for their next marketing campaign. (Big h/t to Preston Taylor Holmes@SMB)

Oh yeah—For those of you who are amongst what we like to refer to as "The Young," these guys are playing this song, which was made by a band you've never heard of.

Creative Marketing 101

Uh, guys? If your product is so heavy that you need a professional wrestler to hold it up, you might just want to re-think your marketing direction:

While I'm on the subject, I think this game shows off the visually stunning features of the Sony PSP handheld better than any other game in the whole entire world.

I just know Rooster will be picking his copy up tomorrow.

Happy Monday, Y'all!

It doesn't look like I'm going to have time to do any serious blogging today, so instead, I'm delighted to reveal to you today's conspiracy. I'll call this one, "Everything is a conspiracy:"

It could definitely use a more accurate sound track, though.

(h/t Dollard), who always finds the laughs!

Now I can only be left to wonder when the "secret service" will "raided Brian Ledbetter games office and to Brian Ledbetter account of the raid."

Musical Interlude

I've been pretty tied up at work today, so my apologies for it being so quiet around here. I've had time to tweet a couple of amusing little items, but not so much to devote to the blog.

Until I can get back into the swing of things, here's yet more proof that I have more... "unusual" taste in music than my pal Charles does.

I present the legendary Japanese acid-rockers, BUCK–TICK, performing Snow white:

What can I say? This is what you get after listening to The Cure for too long!

What if the traditional Stop sign, known and beloved by all, were created a modern, soul-free marketing agency?

The Scots Have It Right

"We, in Scotland, cannot figure out why people are even botherin' to hold an election in the United States.

On one side, ye have a pants-wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who cannot keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.

Now...On the other side, you have a nice, old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate Mc terminology married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What in Lord's name are ye lads thinkin' over there in the colonies?"

He's got to be a regular Obama adviser:

"Ow wow wow wow."

A memorable quote, indeed. [Ed.:—Late-hour update: "One that's sure to please every crowd." Why do good lines always come to me at the most inopportune times?]

Nice—It's good to see all of my friends over at AR15 once more!

If you Photoshop-enabled types seem to be so inclined, I've got one or two features going on right now that you might be interested in contributing to. Y'all were so good at it last time around.

Otherwise, don't forget to click on this link to get the latest hilarity, delivered straight to your feedreader.

See? I used to listen to non-sissy music:

Helloween: Pheer Our German Unibrows.

To think that this is how I spent my college years...

Happy Friday, Y'all!

College—It's the ultimate place to be for stupid human tricks. This one's pretty daggum cool, though:

Happy Wednesday, Y'all!

I'm still way behind on the news, so until I can get caught up, here's a Sea-Doo in a Jacuzzi:

Somewhere, somehow, this video makes perfect sense.
