Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

To know me is to know my love of Wu-Tang… and all things cupcake related. So you can imagine my joy when I stumbled across NatalieCakes’ lyrical mashup of the Wu banger C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) and a sweet tooth:

I can pretty much hear it in my head. A video would be the icing on the cake.

With Christmas over and done, Zoomdoggle is already starting to think Easter and Valentine’s Day. That means, respectively, Peeps and heart-shaped Peeps. Want more? More sugar, more heart, more size? All it takes is a microwave. Fun! It’s the opposite of the chips trick (Kristina does it so much cuter).

On a sidenote: Anyone know why these videos upload all boxy and weird? Also, it went in as 31 seconds, but comes out as 35 with four clank seconds at the end. What gives? Help a brother out. Thanks.

Playing with people on Craigslist… this time in the name of bunkbeds.

The world’s greatest comic has now become the world’s funnest Flickr group. Check it out, then pick out a frame worth copying yourself.

NOTE: There’s nothing wrong with the other Pharacyde either. When was the last time you watched “Drop”? Re-admire the awesomeness.

URDB is a place for posting world records for others to beat. World Record Appreciation Society is the physical manifestation of that. At the first event Todd Lamb sets a new world record for Most Images Of Fish Sandwiches Looked At In One Minute:

Amazing. Meanwhile, Zoomdoggle’s own Jake Bronstein set a record for Most Strangers’ Drinks Sipped Out Of In 15 Seconds:

Almost as amazing. Oh, and did someone say “free spring rolls”? Yup, we had those too. The thing is, a new year brings new feats never before achieved in the history of mankind. To kick off 2009 in style, the World Record Appreciation Society (W.R.A.S.) invites you to join us for what should be a legendary night of record setting. At this extremely special event, you’ll have an opportunity to get onstage and set your own world record in front of a cheering (and possibly uncontrollable) crowd. As long as records are quantifiable, breakable and legal, they’re welcome on our stage.

Mark your calender: January 7, at New York’s Asia Roma on Mulberry Street. All are welcome to attend. Sign-up is on Facebook. It should be fun.

I remember seeing pictures of square watermelons grown in China eons ago (the pictures came from eons ago, not the melons themselves). A decade or so later, Instrucables has the how-to. Looking for a fun, long-term project, one that will stun the neighbors and just might put a little cash in your pocket as well? Adding corners to otherwise round fruits just might be the way. Apparently, all it takes is a box, a hinge, a hole, and a green thumb.

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to talk less and do more. Could anything be more fun that this? January 10th, mark your calendar. Global means it’s happening outside of New York too (check the Improv Everywhere site for details). Every year I think Charlie Todd can’t top himself. Every year I’m surprised. Can’t wait to see what the man has planned for ‘09.

Thanks to Mike Arauz for reminding me.

Chris O’Brien writes to say that, “going home to Santa Bore-bra is always boring.” This year, instead of staring idly and waiting for the hours to pass, he and his friends (the “Fun Games Massive”) decided to build the Ring of Carts. He says there’s a making-of video heading our way soon. How fun is that?

Thanks Chris for sending it in… here’s hoping you become a regular.

Fed up with the growing violence in the streets of Copenhagen, VAV are striking back with handwritten post-it notes promoting non-violence. The post-it notes are placed throughout the city and have handwritten reminders such as “only the weak resort to violence”. How fun is that? Here’s hoping ‘09 is a peaceful one.

Who knew they even existed? Rolling Stone has the complete story. “When Master Legend bursts into a sprint, as he often does, his long, unruly hair flows behind him. His mane is also in motion when he’s behind the wheel of the Battle Truck, a 1986 Nissan pickup with a missing rear window and “ML” spray-painted on the hood.” How fun is that? Of course, when the tights go on, there’s always a reason. “There was the time Master Legend and the Ace shut down a crack den; the drug kingpin they put out of business; the money Master Legend forcibly retrieved from a thief who stole from a handicapped Vietnam vet; and the recent mission when the Justice Force had to “put the stomp on a child molester and his gang of crackheads.” They had a plan, but things went awry when Master Legend’s brother was captured in the thick of battle by the child molester, whom they call Tree Man Roy.” Long story short, the piece is 5 full pages of awesome. If you’ve got the time, I highly recommend it.
