I've never been much of a rodeo fan, but I'd pay good money to get a first-hand look at this dog-riding rodeo monkey. According to the video, the 21-year-old capuchin monkey, Whiplash, is a complete natural when it comes to dog-riding. He's been riding his canine friends for over 18 years now, and they're currently on tour in Texas.
For more pictures of Whiplash, check out his homepage, Whiplash Rides. I've gotta say, he's a pretty snazzy dresser.
And if you still can't get enough of Whiplash, check out his performances in the Taco John's commercials 20/20 Tacos, Nachos Navidad, and Ride Little Monkey Ride.
Why is it that only the annoying, dirty, and sleazy guys at bars wear Scrolling LED Belt Buckles? I see them advertised in magazines and on websites everywhere but what normal person actually wears them? Not to mention the people who do wear them obviously took 2 days to come up with the message in which they proudly display across their crotch. I'm sorry, but if you have something important to say... Just say it!
Jeans have been creeping their way away from being seen as strictly casual. The endless possibilities for washes, stitching, fits, and embellishments allow jeans to be stylish, unique, artistic, and even glamorous.
Back pockets seem to be getting increasingly interesting and detailed. If someone's butt is going to get my attention, I would rather see something unique on there instead of "Juicy" or "PINK". Here are some jean back pockets that are anything but ordinary. You definitely won't see these showing up on a pair of ill-fitting mom jeans.
If you're reading this from a job you're not totally in love with, here's a dose of optimism for you. No matter how bad your job may be, it's probably more pleasant than if you were hired to test the effectiveness one of the following products:
So one night I'm sitting on the couch watching TV and I see a commercial for the Ped Egg. I'd never heard of it and it looked like a cheap piece of plastic junk, so I continued watching to see what this thing was about. Most infomercials are good for a laugh. Not with the Ped Egg; this is no laughing matter.
The Ped Egg is pretty much an egg-shaped cheese grater for the bottom of your feet. It scrapes off all of the dry skin and wears down calluses. The foot shavings are collected inside of the Ped Egg. The commercial shows people rubbing it back and forth across the bottoms of their nasty feet. This is undeniably gross.
But the Peg Egg commercial does not stop there. Then, without warning, the Peg Egg is opened up and a mound of nasty foot dust shavings is dumped into a trashcan. Sick. The quantity of foot dust is atrocious. It will make you want to throw up. I've watched it several times and I still get the chills.
Go ahead and watch the video clip from the Home Shopping Network. (The Ped Egg people have taken down the actual commercial from You Tube.) Let's see if you are as appalled as I was.
How is it physically possible to shave off that much crap from the bottom of just two feet? Who has feet that are this disgusting? Is there a point at which you have to quit the scraping or else your feet will bleed? Will I ever be able to look at white sandy beaches the same? Do pranksters who have cokehead friends switch out baggies of cocaine with the foot shavings from a Ped Egg?
Several people have posted positive reviews about the Ped Egg on their blogs. So, if you or a loved one has janky feet, go ahead and order a Ped Egg or two. Maybe you could see how much foot dust you can accumulate in one foot shaving session and get yourself an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Is anyone else sick of seeing the cheeseburger phone like the one used in the movie Juno? I love the movie (Go see it if you haven't already!) but I hate that phone!
I'm sure that a food-shaped phone fad is probably already underway. After seeing the Hamburger Phone on about a million blogs, I decided to see what other phones exist that look like food. Here's some of what I found:
That's right, BUTT cleavage. The infamous "plumber's crack" is everywhere. Thank you, low-rise jeans.
Why have people not realized that when you buy jeans you need to actually sit and bend over when you try them on? Even celebrities who have stylists and personal shoppers have been caught sporting butt cleavage.
The worst part about butt cleavage is that you can't not look. Even if the butt cleavage is partially masked by a thong, that only further catches your eye and provokes you to continue to stare. Years ago Sisqo asked to see it, and girls have responded.
Denim designer Lee Cooper made jeans to showcase the intentional butt cleavage. Men weren't excluded; these jeans were made in styles for both men and women. Adding peek-a-boo cutouts to the back of jeans is ridiculous. But, as with anything, I'm sure someone's bought a pair.
While clowns have been a long-time staple of hospital children's wards, a recent UK study suggests that the children might actually find the clowns to be scarier than the hospital. A University of Sheffield study spoke with 250 children and found that even some of the oldest children found the clowns to be scary.
While it may be easy for many of us to understand their terror, it's a little strange to think that children's opinions on clowns have changed so significantly over the last few decades. 50 years ago, children loved clowns. Today, they represent something unfamiliar to most kids. In fact, many children are more likely to have seen a clown in a horror film than at an actual circus.
All the same, clowns from around the world are turning up their big red noses at the study. New York's Clown Care program has made over 2 million bedside visits over the last couple of decades and they say that the results are overwhelmingly positive. They note that there are definitely some kids who are scared of the clowns, but that there are also kids who are scared of dogs and anything else that might be brought in to comfort the kids.
What do you think? Are clowns scary menaces, or angels in disguise? If you're undecided on the clown issue, I challenge you to read these stories and think that hospital clowns are anything but extraordinary.
