Geek vs Life

OK, during my second childhood, I plan on buying cars and guitars, traveling and proving my manhood. So yeah, I’m like most guys.

Along comes James May. James is British, so we know he likes good comedy and weird food. For his second childhood he did something redonkulous….

Who ever knew that this limey toy fanatic would ever undertake such a momentous building project as this.  James is building a full size house, not from stone, nor from clay brick, heck, not even from straw.

James is building his house out of HOUSE OUT OF LEGOs!

How freaking weird cool is that? It would almost be worth spending the ridiculous airfare fees to go see this thing. Just in case you were interested in seeing this creation, without spending thousands of dollars to go to England, Click HERE.

Way to go James! We salute you. Whenever your over here in the New World, look me up and the Guinness is on me!

Yeah, he looks all cute and cuddly, but this sinister little excuse for a pet is controlling your mind! The University of Sussex has released a study that confirms that cats use a higher pitch purr in order to affect your mind so that you feed them.   This has the same mental effect on a human as a crying baby (which just so happen to also be masters of villainy!). No wonder my wife likes cats. They have control of her mind!

Maybe I should buy a pitbull in order to put those mini dictators in their place. “Whats that fluffy?  You demand food?  Ok, Sick em Rusty!”

Yeah.  I’m feeling that one.

Ahh, to be wealthy. Isn’t it great to have enough money to buy whatever you want without worry? No, really, is it? I have no idea, because like millions of people around the globe, I’m BROKE!*

Because I am a really nice guy, I have decided to share with all of you my secrets to being a bargain bin Geek.

How many times have you heard that “Diamonds are a girls best friend”?  Hundreds? Thousands?  If your like me, you have always thought that it was just a way for the diamond industry to guilt trip us guys to spending everything we have to buy our lovely ladies a shiny chunk of rock.   Well, I stand corrected.   The Fine Freaky Folks at Lifegem have proven that diamonds can truly be a girls best friend…  that is, after her best friend has been rendered a crispy critter by cremation.   Head on over to www.lifegem.com to get the scoop.

Thousaunds of brain hungry zombies walked, strolled and shambled down the streets of Fremont in Seattle, Washington July 3rd, with one sole purpose — to EAT YOUR BRaiNNZ set a new world record.

Not yet officially confirmed by Guinness World Records, over 3,000 undead registered for the Zombie Walk setting a new world record for largest zombie gathering. The previous record, in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, involved 894 participants.

Zombies lined-up from earlier this afternoon including z-celebrities such as Zombie Jesus, Zombie Billy Mays (too soon?) and Zombie Elvis. Although many arrived at the scene as zombies — some of us did not. Thankfully, to bypass any biting or brain eating procedures, the organizers of the event had an insta-zombie crew available and equip with all the essentials for on the spot zombification.

After a very slow crawl down the streets of Fremont, the zombies were kept at bay with various activities that included a zombie fashion show, giveaways of Xbox 360s, a Thiller dance-off, and a showing of Shaun of the Dead under the moon and the stars (I really should have brought a blanket and pillows).

More pictures are soon to come so be sure to check back. Now that I have washed the blood off me (which was made of corn syrup and chocolate milk) I can rest easy knowing that if a zombie apocalypse is indeed approaching, they will know about the day I shambled my way across Fremont as one of their kind and hopefully, savor my brains reconsider the consumption of my brains, arms, legs or intestines.
