MAKE: Exquisite Corpse


Ever played Exquisite Corpse? Ever seen the flip books that let children match an aligator’s head with a donkey’s body? If you and two friends have an iPhone/Touch each, all it takes is a couple pictures taken with each phone (top does heads, middle bodies, bottom legs)! Me and Pete from the office made this using our work mates as models. How fun is that?

HONORARY DOGGLER: SpY

Spanish artist SpY doesn’t pull pranks, and he’s certainly not a vandal. Nope, he calls his work “interventions.” Wrapping a police car in crime scene tape? Turning street markings into the space fighter? How fun is that? Loads more after the jump. Poke around, see the sights…

PLAY: Colour My World

Travel across the complex rocky cliffs of the Grey Mountains into the clean and controlled city of B&W to meet up with your love waiting for you. Solve puzzles to brighten things up as you explore. Click the pic to make the jump.

WHEN: Tuesday, November 3, 2009 – 8 pm (doors at 7:30)
WHERE: Brooklyn’s own Union Hall, 702 Union St. @ 5th Ave
WHAT: The latest instalment of Adult Education – a Useless Lecture Series has some of today’s greatest pranksters (among them The Yes Men and Tim Harrod of The Onion and The Late Show, author of “You Are Dumb: How the Media are Pranking You Even as You Read This”) sharing the ins and out of their craft. Definitely worth checking in before lighting your next flaming pile of poo. More details after the jump.

QUICK: Random Weed Name Generator

Fire it up for one of over 45,000 names on demand. It’s a marketter’s delight. Also the system I think a lot of people on the PuppyNamer are using to name the pups.

HONORARY DOGGLER: Eric Testroete



Vancouver-based gaming-industry guy Eric Testroete made pretty much the raddest paper-craft costume ever… of himself. Complete details and loads more pictures after the jump.

SGAOJ: Season 3 Prelude


Scotty’s got an office job. Or does he? He’s got a web show though. And it’s back…

PLAY: My Switch

Drag the green buttons so that the lines connecting them activates the red switches. It sounds hard, but its not. Not until level seven anyway, then, er, well, good luck. Click the pic to get the game.

FUN VIDEO: Drunk. Little. And Live.

I know I’m late with this, but I just took a week off. Coming back to stuff like this makes me wonder why I ever left. Easily the funnest thing you’re likely to see all day.
