Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Bored?

Check it out, reach
into your pocket and
find all the canvas you need to spend the rest of
the day creating awesomeness.

Let us know if you can make any of these work (and how you did it if you do). After five minutes of
folding all we came up with was a paper
football. Well, that and
something that looks shockingly gina-like…
but we’re saving
it for a rainy day.

Our good friend Mike insists that shark boxing (punching sharks) is not only possible but something he plans to do on his next vacay. Not sure we’re sold on that one (punching wildlife is rarely acceptable and should be avoided in all but the most dire of situations), but skydiving Everest does look legit. In October, the Incredible Adventures team will take their first group to “freefall past some of the world’s highest mountains and land on the highest drop zone on the planet.” We want this so bad it hurts.
Anyone out there want to play sugar-daddy?

Two of Zoom’s favorite things to do are:

1. Spotting goodness on YouTube.

2. Inviting honorary dogglers (that is, those that are doggling on their own) to join the crew.

So when on Tuesday while playing with Spinvision (it’s like Twittervision only with videos) we spotted “Guys Flipping Into Jeans” it felt like a lock.

Seriously, watch it three times and see if you’re not smiling.

Knowing that the flick would soon go viral, we did what any fun-loving netizen would do. We contacted the video’s creators, and we took a screenshot of the number of views to prove just how early we’d found the thing. You know, in case it went viral (admit it, you’ve already told a friend about it, and you only saw it 2 seconds ago).

By Wednesday morning it had been seen by 25,000 people… and we sent another email, this time asking to interview the guys.

By nightfall it had been seen by 125,000 people… and we decided to share it even though they said they couldn’t talk before next week.

By Thursday it crossed the million view mark. We sent one last email just for good measure—and to see if they couldn’t somehow find the time sooner—”but began to wonder if this level of goodness hadn’t been engineered to do just what it did.

On Thursday night, when the phone rang with a 415 number, we had our answer. It was the head of Levi’s Brand PR. Go figure. It still looks like a good time though. Give it a go.

Meet the most important post of the week. Why? Cause this is the one where you tell us what YOU think would be fun to do. If it sounds like a good time, we’ll do our best to set it up for you. What are you waiting for? All it takes is an email to get in on the doggle. FIRST UP, SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ZOOMDOGGLE HIRES ONE READER A BODYGUARD FOR THE DAY…

10AM:
As Zoomdoggle’s first “reader” guinea-pig, I’m not exactly sure what to expect. I’d answered an email they’d sent around asking what, if anything, people thought might be fun to do. I said “have a bodyguard.” It seemed like a cool idea. Forty-eight hours later I got a call telling me that he, my protection “a guy who’s guarded the bodies of Shakira, Marilyn Manson, and Madonna” would be arriving along with a photographer in the morning. Looking back, I’m not so sure this was a good idea.

Philadelphia: Rocky, the 76ers, the Liberty Bell, Cream Cheese. There’s so much to love in this town (did you know the name even means “city of brotherly love”? It does, look it up), and yet the very lovely Kristina…

…is also the very lonely Kristina.
