HONORARY DOGGLERS: Red House Furniture

When Red House needed a new commercial, they like YouTube comedy due Rhett and Link take the helm. I’d buy there; I hate racism in an otherwise comfy sofa.

QUICK: FartURL

With so many URL shortners to choose from, how to know which one is best? Yup, I can’t tell either. But I do know this: Some links are just begging for a fart noise (and a fun picture, but just for a second or two before redirect). FartURL shortens, and adds the sound. How fun is that? Make one. Send one. Smile. BONUS: You can hear when co-workers click across the room.

LINK: Farturl. Thanks to Bryan Bowden for sending it in.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Capture the Flag NYC 2009

WHEN: Friday, July 17, 2009, 7:30pm – 9:30pm
WHERE: Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
WHAT: Another NewMindSpace banger: “Capture the Flag is a massive, adrenaline-pumping, urban game played on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Two teams hide flags in their territory and attempt to capture the enemy flag using buses, taxis, bicycles, longboards or their own two feet. Join us as we dash through the ‘burg, evade the enemy and score a point. 1000 glowing necklaces will be distributed at the meeting point to mark the teams. After the rules announcement and 10-minute planning time, the game will commence! May the best team win.” Free to play, sign-up is on facebook, more details to follow.

MAKE: Fancy Fast Food

Did you know you can take ordinary, stomache-turning, extra-value fast food, and turn it into super high-end, gourmet treats? Neither did the companies that made it. But you can. These photographs show extreme makeovers of actual fast food items purchased at popular fast food restaurants. No additional ingredients have been added except for an occasional simple garnish. How fun is that? Tons more after the jump, as well as step-by-step so you can following along.

PLAY: Rabbit Wants Cake

“You might be yelling no, no, no, but all they hear is ‘who wants cake.’ And they all do. They all want cake.” Help the rabbit get the cake by recording a series of moves, then pushing playback. Of course, there will be obstacles along the way. Click the pic to get the game… there’s no embed, so we’re jumping you to armor. Bonus: First person to identify the quote gets, well, a knowing nod from yours truly.
