TGIF: The .Gif Friday Post No.43 – Levitation

Since last week’s .gif animation was so lame, here’s a bonus:

HOVERDOGS!

[Animations from here and here.]

Independence Day 2008 at Yankee Stadium

Maybe I’m easily amused, but this reeks of coolness. It’s a pan & zoom image of Yankee Stadium during the Yankees vs. Red Sox game of 4 July 2008.  Boston won 6-4 on a freak triple.

[See below for the linkoids.]

Here’s the wide angle, and I decided to zoom in.  The second thing I was looking for was a guy who probably drives a Babe Magnet:  Where’s Waldork?

Game is underway, 1st Inning.

An obnoxious jerk can be found anywhere, and I guessed that the cheap seats would be a good bet.

This section looked promising.  Completely arbitrary guess.

Getting closer!  Stadium usher in the aisle is eyeballing someone…

Ooh!  We have a candidate, and it’s not the waterbed in the back row or the wannabe in the front.

WOOP! DEY HE IS!

Rock out dude! Everyone should be playing air guitar at a Yankees game!  Or are you yelling at the umpire already, as if he can hear you from a half-mile away.  DUDE, it’s only the first inning.  Chill.

Don’t double-dose your meds again, dood. Everyone’s ignoring you (except for the usher,  the lady in the red tunic and the one in white southwest of you on the previous image). What Babe Magnet do you drive, bro?

[Link found at Grow-A-Brain. The Very Cool Hi-Def Zoom/Pan image of Yankee Stadium can be found here.]

[UPDATE:  HERE’S A BONAFIDE COMPETITION. FIRST ONE OF Y’ALL TO EMAIL BUNK A SCREEN SHOT (.jpg file only) OF THE GUY IN THIS STADIUM CROWD WHO’S POINTING DIRECTLY AT THE CAMERA WINS A VERY COOL PRIZE IN 100% WORKING CONDITION, INCLUDING BATTERIES AND INSTRUCTIONS, IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING!]

[This Contest is on as long as CNN/SI keeps their site open, or until a winner is announced on THIS website.  If CNN closes its site, and no one has offered/emailed a winning .jpg image to Bunk Strutts at the contact address CLEARLY shown above, this contest is closed, null and void, and we’ll snivel out of awarding anyone anything.  By submitting a .jpg image, y’all agree that this is all in fun and stuff, and everything that that this statement means in a colloquial sense releases Bunk and his Crack Team of Webminers from any and all legal responsibility.  In other words, we won’t owe you a damn thing beyond what is promised and awarded via these described caveats, no matter what… just a damn thing that works, beeps when it’s supposed to, and requires batteries. The prize-winner pays the shipping costs and may or may not owe Bunk a slab of coldies.]

[Update 26 August 2008:  Contest is now closed.  Winner to be announced.]

[UPDATE 28 AUGUST 2008:  WE HAVE A WIENER!]

Gimme A Reason

“Knock knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Babs’ uvula.”
“Babs’ uvula who?”
“I dunno, Babs, but but I do know this.
Babs, your uvula is on the fritz.”

Skeletor

I feel like this a lot.  Okay, sometimes.  Alright, rarely do I feel like this, but occasionally I do, and this is exactly what it feels like.  Sorta.  (Note the mouth mice.) Yeah, sometimes I get mouse mouth, too.

But I get over it.  Sorta.

Where the Wild Things Are

Yeah.  99% of the same DNA.  BFD.
We gots 83% of the same DNA as celery.

BIG ‘OL HONKIN’ SQUID

Seriously dead predator of the deep in preparation for the New Zealand Calamari Festival.

This Colossal Squid, caught in 2003, has been thawed and is being professionally dissected by The Society of Professional Squid Dissectors (TSPSD).  Video is promised by the second link below.

Tentacle clubs with swiveling hooks.

Mid-arm suckers and hook.

Squid Beak.
Prolly capable of cracking macadamia nuts if it wanted to.

BOOGAH BOOGAH BOOGAH!

I Was A Teenage Hot Links

She wants you to right-click on her.  Now.

Chuck Norris vs. Nancy Pelosi.

The Intro to “The Prisoner.”  Great ’60s spy/spook/paranoia TV show about freedom. No. 6 never gives up his ethics, even when given the opportunities.  There are way too many politicians these days, and too few are No. 6’s.  [Yeah I know, it’s a link repost.  It’s still great, though.]

Sunday is FUNDAY! from FinPeng.

Make your own KFC Cardboard Colonel.

Smelly Board Game via RGS.

I don’t play flash games, but some of these look pretty good.

Mighta posted this link before, but here it is again, just in case.

Fly around until you realize that there’s only one lake.

Lotsa “Crappy Album Covers” here.  Don’t miss “Fun With Joyce.” (Related posts here and here.)

Vinyl Abuse has some interesting figurines for some not so interesting prices.  Worth a look, though.

Here’s an archive of links about B.O.

Dionne Warwick’s Cosmic Peephole.  Really.

Webpost titled “Moms with IBS.” I don’t know why it was linked to this post, but Barrack works in mysterious ways.
