Heat Vision and Jack

This pilot by Ben Stiller in 1999 never aired:

“The 30 minute pilot is about an astronaut (played by Jack Black) with a medical secret who is on the run from the evil Ron Silver and the rest of NASA, with the help of a talking motorcycle called Heat Vision (voiced by Owen Wilson).”

Before Gamekillers, Axe used a feather

Remember, it's okay to use a feather, it's not if you use a chicken.

Why I dream of Camper Shoes

I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. Love the shoes, love the site. Check out the Shoe Finder section. Let’s go shopping! Camper Shoes

Tater Tot goes for dead boyfriend Sam’s Title

So… Sam, the so-called “World’s Ugliest Dog” (winner of the Interational World’s Ugliest Dog pageant for several consecutive years, naturally), is still dead (and probably raising holy heck in puppy heaven or limbo or wherever he ended up).
However, his puppy-widow (yes, even Sam and Hitler had girlfriends) is gunning for his crown in this year’s competition. Check out their blog…

My front yard just became Fido territory

Imagine my surprise when I came out my front door last night and noticed this huge paw print in my front yard. Give you one guess.

“I have over 300 balaclavas and 45 tracksuit tops.”

OCAD student Miles Collyer is exhibiting at the Böhm TradeCenter
(Link to the Exhibition)…

“The balaclavas were more of a long-term collection that started as a kid basically having them to use in the Canadian winters. And then I kept expanding my collection just through an interest in visual associations with simple things like superheroes. I’m a thrift store shopper and these are just things I came across. I worked in a factory that basically sorted used clothing. So the track top was one of millions of garments that would come across my path everyday. I would throw t-shirts in the t-shirt bin and keep the track tops for myself. This work came from a slow progression. It didn’t happen all in one day. It wasn’t my intention to find them. It wasn’t until the project was finished that I realized what I had and what I was working with.”

The Real Simpsons

The producers of “The Simpsons” created this live action version of the show’s opening credit as a promotion. Maybe now this wonderful show about a dysfunctional animated American family will finally catch on!

Gory Knitting – UPDATED

This site features a collection of awesome, gory knitted art that implies as much violence as it does cuteness. Fairly original, I’d say. I’ve been trying to find where this site first found these images – if anyone has any idea who the original author / knitter / photographer is, I’d appreciate the info, both for this post and for my own curiosity.

Thanks to some great online detective work from a fellow 1%er, we’ve been able to track down the original artist of these equally cute and disturbing works of art – check out her unique creations. Pretty amazing and original!
