Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Happy holiday’s from our family to yours. Here’s hoping you get everything you wished for and then some. Me? All I want is 1000 members on the Buckyballs facebook group. Today could be the day…

No really. Pabst, every Doggler’s favorite brew, is up for sale, and they (well someone) is trying to crowd-source a buyer. I’ve already made my pledge (and drank enough this holiday season to entitle me to some kind of stock-option at least). Anyone else want to own a tiny sliver of a beer giant?

Creative agency Mother (their UK arm) pulled one of the greatest pranks ever this holiday – or was it a prank at all? You be the judge. They sent out a very spam-sounding note to everyone they’d worked with saying they had $10,000 in US funds to diposit in an account, all they needed was the recipeants banking info. Here’s the catch though, when one guy sent his info, they gave him the cash. Ready for the best bit? They did it all for the fun of it. No client. No embedded brand message. Nothing. If watching this doesn’t make you smile, nothing will.

PS: There’s another twist as well. An ever better one. And a great laugh. Have a look.

Still on the lookout for that last-second something for that special someone? If that someone is a cat, might we recommend a “Briefcase Bed.” Buy ‘em off Etsy or make your own with little more that a suitcase and a pillow. Loads more pictures (cuter ones too) after the jump.

Hands down the best game you’re going to play online in 2009. Why? Because the browser is the game (it’s played on your desktop using browser windows that move), and the game is Pong. Click the pic, you’ll see. BONUS: It’s got a two player mode that kept me and my seatmates (one was a stranger, the other, not-so-much) entertained for hours on the flight from NY to LA. A game that makes friends?!?! How fun is that?

Steven Yalowitz took one minute, 4.75 seconds to pronounce the word “fresh.”

CRITERIA TO BEAT RECORD:
- no pauses or breaths allowed while setting the record.
Got a cam on that computer? Today is the day you make history! Fffffrrrressshhh.

Check it out, my dog Cashew (remember him? You probably helped name him) pictured here with my lady Kristina (remember her? You probably helped me propose)… anyway, he noticed how bummed I’ve been lately about not having as much time to update the Doggle as I’d like (or create as much original content as my heart is screaming for), so he’s taken to wearing a camera around his neck that snaps a picture every 15 minutes.

Check the view from inside of his cave…

At the to of the stairs trying to decide which is funner, Kristina getting dressed in the bedroom, or me on my laptop in the living room…

I always win…

Kristina on her way out…

Then me…

Here’s hoping he looks in the mirror when the thing goes off even once while we’re at work. I’ll keep you posted. At just $49.95, I feel like we’ve already gotten our money’s worth. Cash got a hobby, and I got a way to check up on what he’s gotten into while I’m gone. How fun is that?

If it turns out this is a Levis ad though, I’m gonna be bummed.

All it takes is a single button to kill-off your profile on every social network. It sounds good – good for productivity, good for piece of mind, something good to tell friends you did today, all around good times – but then again, how would you tell people what you’ve done once you’ve done the deed. Anyone ballsy enough to take the plunge though, your time is neigh.

I know what you’re thinking, “Gingerbread Houses, but they’re so large and unruly.” Not these little gems (surely you noticed), all the fun is packed into on tiny pouch that perches perfectly on any pitcher (er, mug really, but we had a thing going with the Ps). Anyway, complete instructions after the jump. Loads more  photos too. How fun is that?
