Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

When you’re locked in Quarantine, sometimes all you can do is rap. Things could always be worse. NOTE: This appears to be real. Anyone got an address where I can send this guy some Buckyballs?

Before you write it – or worse, talk about it in public – you might as well see how it ranks. NOTE: There is no dating functionality to the site. Yet.

Lauren Rodwell coaxed a Mattress World employee into saying the word “mattress” 12 times during a single phone call.

The record was set in Portland, Oregon on April 1, 2010 atWieden+Kennedy‘s 28th annual Founders’ Day party. Universal Record Database co-founders Dan Rollman and Corey Henderson were on hand to preside over the event.

CRITERIA TO BEAT RECORD:
- record must be attempted by an individual (no teams)
- spelling of “mattress” does not count

WHEN: June 18th
WHERE: LA to Tombstone
WHAT: Come on, I’ve written about this thing so many times and you still don’t know? RCR is an ultra-fun, low-rent Gumball Rally. There is no set route, but each team must hit pre-defined checkpoints, the locations of which will be provided in the rally booklet given to each team at the starting line. Each team must provide photographic evidence of each checkpoint. No photos = disqualification. Each team is scored by a combination of odometer reading, team style, and hijinks. As for the rules… Don’t speed. Obey the local laws. That’s about it. Winner takes prize. Cash. Prestige.

I know what you’re thinking, is it really worth going to all of the effort (drilling caps, soldering wires, holding lighters and batteries), just to make a cotton candy machine you can shove in your pocket? It probably is. Yup.

Outdoor advertizer Lamar has taken to posting Conan’s tweets in real time on their digital boards across the country to “put a little Conan back in all of our lives.” Smart marketing = fun marketing. Well done.

You know those Search Story Commercials? Now you can make your own at your desk easy-peasy with the Search Stories’ Video Creator. I was too lazy to take a run at it this morning, but if anyone comes up with something smart, let me know. There might be a prize in it for you.

Cages and boxes are so passe. Get your pet a chalet. These cardboard wonders of high society come flat packed and have cardboard rugs and trophy heads. WARNING: This is meant to be your pet’s second home – a little hideaway they can run off to from time to time to escape the pressures of everyday living – not a full time living space. How fun is that?

Never has a physics puzzler been this puzzlingly cute. Polar bears were prepared for global warming but an unexpected cold winter trapped them in Ice Cubes. Set them free by removing the cracked cubes, setting off chain reactions that get the frozen bears in the water. Start by clicking the pic to get the game.
