PUPPYNAMER: His Name Is Bowie

Doggie dos now has a name. His name is Bowie “since he’s bowlegged and English – 2 distinct qualities brought in under one name.” Congratulations to Emeka who entered the winning name with 23 votes (we’ve got a $10 bill with your name on it). That’s to everyone else who played… 119 names were suggested, and loads of vote – CLICK HERE TO SEE THEM ALL – meaning we raised almost $100 for charity.

FUN VIDEO: Miles Fisher’s This Must Be The Place (NSFW)

Wow, a razor tight cover of the Talking Heads classic, done in a pitch perfect American Psycho, and featuring friend of the doggle (and by friend I mean, someone I met once in passing and don’t know at all) Lydia Hearst. Kinda sorta NSFW. NOTE: You don’t really see any lady or man bits… but they’re there. Yup, they’re there.

LOOK: Must Share Hair

Are you having an awesome hair day? Why hide it when sharing it is so much fun? Must Share Hair, a new blog by Ben Brown, has but one mission: “To document and promote real people with real hair for the amusement and inspiration of the whole world!” It’s only a week old, but already there’s some goodness worth sharing in the hopper.

What’s up on your dome today?

MAKE: Paper BuckyBalls

Sure the inventor calls it a “Paper Transformer” but the email it came to me in called it “Paper BuckyBalls” and, well, I thought it had a ring to it. Either way, all it takes is paper, tape and scissors and you’re good to go. Get at it!

QUICK: Name That Tune Twitter

Got a song stuck in your head, but don’t know what it is? Just heard something fun on the radio, but can’t quiet place the band? Ready for the funnest (yeah, dorky can be fun too) way to crack that code? @LyricRat with whatever part you remember – “Da, da, dee, dum, dah, dah, dee, dah, dah” spell it out, even the non-words, but remember, no more than 140 characters please – and they’ll @ you back the song. Or try to. They got Lady GaGa out of those “Da”s and “Dee”s … I was thinking the song from Dirty Dancing, but I can see how they ended up there. How fun is that?

FUN VIDEO: Mattress Dominoes

The World Record Attempt.

And the collegiate version. Both look fun to me.

GET: Shake Weight

This is for real people. There’s no embed on the actual commercial, but when you’re ready to stop jerking off and want to get hard on fitness, it’s time for the Shake Weight.

HONORARY DOGGLER: Junior Jacquet

Look, an empty roll. If you’re anything like me, that means it’s time for you to shout for someone to bring you a new one (I’m the King when I’m on the thrown). Honorary Doggler Junior Jacquet is nothing like me. He squeezes, pinches, and pokes – the roll that is – and eventually produces a masterpiece.

How expressive, how clever, how intricate; how fun is that?
