31 Days of Oscar
posted by  Cap'n Carrot on June 15th, 2009 

From Fresh Paint comes this impressive little promo for TCM’s 31 Days of Oscar. The montage of several classic film clips is worth a quick look (though, to be honest, I could have done without being reminded of Crimson Tide).

Androidkids 2
posted by  Cap'n Carrot on June 15th, 2009 

A cute little time waster for you. If a class of elementary school kids sat down and made their own version of Super Mario Bros. it might look quite a bit like Androidkids 2. Simple controls: Use the Arrow-keys for direction, Space bar to Jump, and the Shift-key to drop bombs.

History, Retold. Except better this time.
posted by  Just Plain Bob on June 15th, 2009 

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Drunk History, a series of videos (far too few, if you ask me) wherein intelligent people are given way too much alcohol, and then asked to recount historical events.

As a bonus, the makers of these films convinced actors like Michael Cera and Jack Black to mime out the stories as they’re told by the inebriated historians. Volumes 1-4 (including 2.5!) are hilarious, and, despite their age, one can only pray that more are in the works.

Drunk History, Volume 1

(Beware YouTube imitators: it seems an awful lot of people have decided to try their hand at drunken histories of their own)

Just another acoustically Manic Monday
posted by  Cap'n Carrot on June 15th, 2009 

Another Monday. Here are the Bangles performing an acoustic rendition to their 1986 hit “Manic Monday.” How are you on your pop trivia? Can you name the singer/songwriter who wrote the song for them?

Do you still want to drink that Coke Zero?
posted by  Cap'n Carrot on June 11th, 2009 

coke-zeroI love my Coke, even though they got rid of that tasty Black Cherry Vanilla, but this news can’t be good for those of you who like Coke Zero.

It seem Venezuela has banned the product, from the entire country, after citing health concerns with the local bottling plant (can you still call it a bottling plant if they’re putting it in cans?). That’s right folks, Coke Zero isn’t healthy enough for Venezuela.

So, do you still want to down that can in your hand? You can read more of the story here.

Stackle

stackleA little bit Jenga and a little bit Tetris, if you’ve got some free time on your hands today you might waste a few minutes trying out Stackle. Move blocks from below to make the tower taller. Be careful how you place the blocks, and, whatever you do, don’t let the whole thing fall down.

Is that a Zach Morris sighting?
posted by  Cap'n Carrot on June 10th, 2009 

The internets were all a twitter about this yesterday, but I couldn’t quite find time to share this with you. Here’s Zach Morris showing up in place of Mark-Paul Gosselar on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Two Jimmy Fallon posts in one day is a little odd, but, at least as far as this one is concerned, “it’s alright ’cause I’m saved by the bell.”

Jimmy Fallon thanks Conan O’Brien at the Webby Awards
posted by  Cap'n Carrot on June 10th, 2009 

The host was Seth Meyers and all the winners gave five-word acceptance speeches. Monday night internet celebrities and B-list stars gathered together as the Webby Awards handed out their, well, what the hell are those statues anyway? Heating coils? You can find a list of all the winners here or spend some time watching more more 5 Word Speeches. There’s just so much you can say in five words (like say, “Webby’s? That a real award?”). Of those I watched Sarah Silverman was the most memorable, but Fallon’s was the best.
