Blowing Stuff Up With Mr. Science

If you’re about my age, you grew up with an endless series of school science movies, narrated by soporific baritones, with muzak/porn 70s soundtracks, introduced by professorial types in their studies. Disney did them, everyone else did.

In a wonderful homage to this, Sega has made an ad site for their game “Full Auto” called Sega Labs.

They have the whole thing down, even the slightly out of sync sound and bad cuts. Plus, explosions. What’s not to like?

Making friends with salad

  1. Where the PLUTONIUM AT?
  2. Your tax dollars at work: Go shorty, it’s yo bat mitzvah. I would love to have been a roadie at this gig.
  3. AdJab pointed to today’s weird weird use of licensed clip art. Maybe she’s worried Linus is going to cap her if she keeps stalking him?
  4. Hummer + Fiat = COMEDY GOLD! This is like the Giorgio Moroder version of a hip-hop ride. What. The. HEY. Let’s all flashdance in my 8 ton neon femme-mobile!
  5. This is interesting. A story on Feministing about discrimination against female firefighters draws first the typical Internet troll who bashes women firefighters, and then a full body slam on both this guy and the article from an actual woman firefighter who has a totally different backstory. Unsurprisingly, it turns out to be about money.
  6. For the twee Japanese rocker girl in your life, or the Comic Book Guy who likes thinking about twee Japanese rocker girls, here’s the Hello Kitty Guitar. I think rumplestimpskin needs the Badtz Maru Bass, so I’ll have to steal one for her.
  7. We joked about Gogurt and Vodka years ago. Now there’s uh… go vodka? Blerghk!
