Welcome to Pessimist Club. Pretty poor turn out this week. I knew it would be.

Told my friend's daughter that Kinder Eggs are actually Minion coffins. Now she's crying and I feel like Satan. http://t.co/nqFH3usU97

Friday Videos - August 21st, 2015

posted August 21, 2015 #

There's some gems in here this week. Enjoy and don't even think about getting any work done today. It's basically the last friday of the Summer I'm told... don't waste it!

Bad Lip Reading, First Republican Debate - this isn't about Republicans or Democrats, this is about funny voices and absurd things to say. Some incredible moments here.
Owl Poops and Flees the Scene - wait for it. waaaaait for it...
Sleep Good "X" - I am going to keep hammering this one out there because it's worth hammering out there. Beautiful work from a wonderful album (2000+ views on Facebook!).
Ralph's Questionable Diet - this dog is amazing.
The Witch - trailer for the forthcoming A24 release. I am told it is this years It Follows or Babadook. If that's even partially true, I'm in! And I'm not even a horror fan.
World's Largest Functioning Whoopee Cushion - the cat reaction really sells this
Norm McDonald is Colonel Sanders - I don't love sharing ad campaigns but this knowing "shrug" from Norm is too good to pass on.
Infinite Train - Kottke pondered if this was boring or relaxing.. I vote completely entrancing. Just let it take you away

Great! Look at this delightful guy and have a great weekend.

Plock Pizza Roundup

I previously posted about the Personal Pizza Party art show from Ferris Plock but hadn't actually seen all the pieces in the show until this week. They're all available to browse through now and I'm smitten with these Pizza Trophies. That little character adorning the prize is just too perfect. Also, this guy.

The Jefferson Grid

posted August 21, 2015 #

This Instagram collection, The Jefferson Grid, is loosely based on the idea of the Public Land Survey System that Thomas Jefferson developed to survey large regional areas. A single square mile of a township is called a Section. This Instagram account takes satellite images of one square mile and presents them beautifully. Look at these perfect lines or this insane pattern! It's always remarkable to see our planet from this perspective.
