Christmas

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Ho ho holy shit it’s the most wonderful time of the year again…my annual prostate check! Been following the news in Ireland the past week, floods, NAMA, repossessions, doom agus gloom. I was whinging about the weather here but I have it handy compared some of the poor scamps I heard on Liveline who got fucked over by the economy and then flooded out of their house for dessert.

I put up my tree last week and we decorated it with Sylvanian Families.

And here is my awful xmas card that I sent out to everybody.

xmas card

All in all it was a great year, thanks for dropping by and slagging me. 2010 sees the massive relaunch of this crummy site with all glossy web 6.9 graphics and crap as soon as the lads from Brightsky sober up. Here is their Christmas video.

Oh and PS: Big deal that Rage Against the Machine is the number one song for xmas. You anarchist you! Who cares if X factor is number 1? People love lame protests. You can all tell your grandchildren about how you stuck it to the man by voting back in 2009, cars on their sides, burning police men in riot gear running in circles. It would have weight if everybody voted for the sound of fingernails on a blackboard.

Well, have a great Christmas.

Secret Project: Magic Lantern Window Projection

Friday, December 18th, 2009

All you lucky pups in Dublin will probably have seen those mind boggling windows that have been turned into giant plasma tellies. There’s one on Dame Street currently showing Avatar

And another on Aungier St which features wacky animations by me. I also animated all of Avatar. Just joshin ya! I didn’t animate Avatar, only coddin’ yeh, just pulling your leg! Only having a laugh! ROFL slurp LOL pwned lol _%–!!!

No I made the ‘app’ that holds all the image and the videos, it can be controlled remotely by an iphone and it is the future.

Get your ass to Mars and take a look at them. And you can be a part of it, if you want to advertise or even create a short eye boggling clip for it give those studs in Micromedia a shout.

Art Attack in Spanish

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Poor old Neil Buchanan is either spinning in his grave or counting his bankroll. Art Attack is on the telly everyday here in Spanish. Clever move, half of the segments are wordless, like the big overhead pics he does (which are still Neil in the Spanish version) and the puppet fellow in the museum so it can be sold on anywhere.

I loved Art Attack, Rolf’s Cartoon Club even Draw with Don if I was stuck. Then there was that awful Draw with Tina which was like a day release programme, if she wasn’t doing this she’d be working in a garden centre. ‘Draw a balloon for the head, draw a sausage for the body’. Do me a solid and draw yourself a string of sausages and strangle yourself for me there love.

Seriously, that show is so slow I could feel an anxiety attack coming on. The poor kid who tries to follow it will get distracted by hitting puberty halfway through it, getting a girl knocked up, getting separated and his bastard son would have enough time to finish off the picture for him.

Boing Boing and me are shit

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Yeah so I posted a video last week ‘that was on boingboing 6 months ago’. Big deal. I hate that BoingBoing site now, I used to read it everyday until I realised I don’t give a fuck about DRM rights management, Cory Doctorow telling me some awful short story he wrote is available to download, Xeni Jardin is in Peru, flash mobs, lifehacking and Creative Commons. Who cares? Dickheads, that’s who. Lifehacking. The gayest term since bromance.

Yes they post good links and it can be great for 3 or 4 days consecutively but Jesus Christ cool it with the lameness. I read a comic by Cory Doctorow and he’s horrible.

And that Xeni Jardin dope reminds me too much of that twit Violet Berlin. ‘Memba her? Small lisping girl who used to review games and couldn’t pronounce SNES, saying SNED instead. Here’s a clip

Anyway I originally wanted to post this pic sent to from Eoin, he made screengrabs of The SHIZNIT on the telly last year in that ill received Irish sit com The Roaring Twenties. Cheers man

20's

I have to go now and read about Canadian copyright laws and how some cooky guy put a usb drive inside another usb drive or whatever. Like anyone gives a fuck.

Spazzmoid and Harry Partridge are great

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Be sure to read this weeks chapter of Say a Prayer

Another video that made me laugh this week. This one’s from Harry Partridge who’s youtube channel is full of good animations.

I still never read or seen Watchmen but I’m aware of the characters. This is great

This is one is spot on too. The Orko/Snarf chap is great.

B roll

This is a good one. I’m glad that most people have a facebook these days so the mailing of links has stopped but this got me. Too specific!

Meatball Competition: I wuz robbed

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Came second. In reality I won but due to a snag/nepotism it went to her Mam’s brother in law. She made well over a hundred pelotas but on the day itself two new competitors entered bringing the total up to seven.

So I steamed through them, cautious not to eat to fast or show off, the brother in law shovelling them down as well. Then all of a sudden there’s no meatball’s left and we were both in the lead having eaten 17 each so he gets crowned king because he ate them faster BUT if I knew it was about velocity I’d have disgraced them all.

Check them out, you could fit a kid in that big pot thing

I was concerned about these two lads but I left them in the dust

Ah well, next year. Got some great videos that I will post soon (her Ma wanking a champagne bottle as it erupted being the best clip)

Meatball eating contest

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Tomorrow I take part in a meatball eating contest and the pressure is on! I’m the favourite and I don’t want to disappoint. They’re called pelotas here and are around the size of a large egg and I fuckin love them. I wolfed down ten of them two weeks ago and everybody was impressed. Or maybe threatened…

So last Saturday at one of huge family dinners, where its like the Ragu ad, about 14 people at the table passing plates and shouting, my meatball prowess was discussed and the other males became keen to assert their alpha.

Me, Rueben, Pepe, the other Pepe from Ibiza and Paco will be chomping them down like mad tomorrow against the clock. I’ve been training for a few days, trying to stretch my stomach by drinking water and eating. Yesterday I had a kebab, patatas bravas, falafels and nearly two chocolate cakes for lunch then a Chinese for dinner.

I’ll post pics on Monday.
