Alanis Covers Fergie and amazing Fart filters

So Ironically enough (heh, thats a joke) This fell into my lap today. I love it, and I don't know why.


Similarly, I got this in an email.

Then, Via This Site
From the brilliant minds at Garment Guard comes our newest product, Subtle Butt. This pack of 5 saving graces effectively filters the odor caused by flatulence: Simply stick it in the right place and you’re ready for a chili cook-off. The “Subtle Butt” by Pond Inc is a fart neutralizer to eliminate smelly flatulence. The Subtle Butt neutralizer filters the flatulence as the wind breaks, absorbing and neutralizing its odor.

We eventually came up with a whole line of Fart eliminators to include the butt kazoo which makes cool sounds and disseminates a lovely odor when you pass gas. Don’t worry I won’t be sad if someone takes this idea and runs with it.

Now, for some reason, my Sharethis button has decided to stop working. I'm tired of trying to figure out what's wrong with it, so i give up for now.

If you have the answer for me, let me know.

Headline of the Day: Fish Swims into Boy's Penis

If you were a little boy with a sadistic mother from the jungles of south America who loved to instill irrational fear and phobias into your head as a method of behavioral training, its one of those things that you always worried about in the back of your head every time you went to the beach.

Along with shark attacks, piranha maulings, man-o-war stings and pedophiles, wading in the piss warm waters of Miami Beach, every time something brushed past your leg or under your feet, you were about to be devoured, stung, pulled under. As you got older, these fears diminished more and more as you began to develop a more realistic take on life. There were no longer Anacondas waiting to fall out of the trees and eat your aunt Emma.

For this one poor little boy it won't be that easy.

A FISH swam the wrong way when it leapt upstream into a boy's PENIS and ended up in his BLADDER.

The 2cm daredevil caused all kinds of medical problems when it swam through the teenager's urethra.

The unfortunate lad was taken to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention.

He claimed the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home in India.

Professor Vezhaventhan and Professor Jeyaraman, who treated the boy and later wrote a paper on the case, said: "While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine.

"When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his URETHRA and then he developed all these symptoms."

After finding the fish in the boy's BLADDER, the medics insert a special set of forceps down the patient's penis in a technique known as cystourethroscopy.

But the fish was too slippery, so the professors used a rigid ureteroscope with a tool attached – normally used for removing bladder stones.

The fish, which is thought to be a small member of the Betta genus, measured 2cm long and 1.5cm wide.

The patient was later offered counselling.

Now personally, I don't think there's enough counseling in the world that will get that boy back into the water. Given, he probably wont live his daily life in fear of say, squirrels jumping up his ass, but I'm sure he'll be using shower shorts the rest of his life.



My Only Question is, Who holds a fish in their hands while they pee?

The Disney Genetics Lab and the Creation of a Star

Anyone who was over 20 when Miley Cirus knew that there was something wrong with those disney fuckers. It was just a matter of time before the truth came out.

Black Kids, The Blog, and Tons of Painted Monkeys.

The Black Kids' story sounds it could be the plot of high school musical 18. Almost everyone knows who they are, and even those that don’t know the words to their hit song, but no one can really figure out how they got where they are so quickly, and almost effortlessly. Its a little reminiscent of Paris Hilton.

Black Kids have climbed the ranks of music’s food chain faster than anyone could ever have imagined. Primarily made up of a few big hitters and tons and tons of little guys, blogging about music has turned into an arena of file sharing, link listing and name dropping beyond what anyone could’ve ever expected. With the words “Black Kids” on everyone’s lips, with a million remixes to boot, the question that has arisen is whether or not Black Kids deserve the hype.

The short answer is yes. When Black Kids released their EPs, the Wizard of Ahhhs, as a digital download in 2007, there was a distinct need that needed to be met in the current indie scene. As Indie music became more saturated, Black Kids arose to meet a need in the scene. Here was a band whose music was incredibly mixable, whose songs could be changed over and over and over again, a band who able to break the barriers of Indie-land and launch a surprise attack on anyone listening. Blogs pick it up and help moving it along. A name like Black Kids only helps that even more.

Recently when band’s keyboardist Dawn Watley took a minute to talk to me, she was in London having just finished the Leeds Festival-Leeds and The Last Days of Summer, mid tour. The light at the end of the tunnel being that the Jacksonville band will soon be making their return to the States, and for the first time, will get to tour their home state of Florida.

Talking to one of the Black Kids, it becomes perfectly clear that Black Kids have an advantage that had helped them get to the top of European and dance music charts. The band members’ individuality, their tenacity and their serious dedication have led to their bands success. They are serious about their work, but they still play simply for the entertainment of it.

Now much of the buzz has quieted down, but the Black Kids are still touring, still chasing their goals. Every so often, a new remix of “I’m not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you” pops up on the blogs. It has become clear that is very possible that the very blog hype that initially threatened to destroy them instead has helped launch them towards becoming what end up as the Beatles of a new generation. And if not, at least maybe the Monkees.

Black Kids have been writing new material while on the road. They hope to be back in the studio soon and plan to release a sophomore album in the summer of 2009. They perform in at the Social this Saturday, giving you a chance to judge for yourself.

God, I love me some Ninjas

First of all, welcome to my new look. It took a little bit of tweaking and adjusting to get everything done, but I was able to get this and the blog I run for work up and running with only a few minor issues, with getting the ShareThis button to work as my biggest headache (still not working on the other blog). The templates at Blog and Web were a great help and very easy to manipulate and I suggest it for anyone tired of the limitations of their current blogger made ones.

Anywho, before deciding to make my own custom graphic for the top, I spent a couple hours going through all 50 something web page results for ninja pictures.

Boy oh, Boy, did I ever find some interesting things. Take this amazing picture for instance. There are actually crazy people out there who make their pets look like ninja turtles. wow.


Then, because we're all aware of how much I love shoes, there was this amazing find:


Freaking Ninja Turtle shoes! there are more pictures and stuff on the post at Kicks on Fire. Feel free to check them out and get them for me. heh.

Anyways, I should probably stop fucking off and get to work.

I'm hungry. Someone feed me.

You Just Kissed My Mole

Lately I have been thinking that I want to change the name of this blog. There are a couple of ideas that I have been playing around with in my head, but I haven't committed to one yet. I want something more fun, something a little more me. We'll see what I come up with. We'll see what it is that i finally come up with, what i finally decide on, and how long it'll actually last. yay!

Moving on. Sept 25 till the 28th will be a Fun time for me. Kevin, Liza and I (and potentially Katie) will be hitting the blacktop for fun times. We'll be headed to the ATL, for the only Ratatat stop in the southeast. We're gonna hang out the rest of the weekend and see the Georgia aquarium, go somewhere around five points, maaaayyyybe see the Olympic stadium. Then we make our way to the Cut Copy and Presets show at the masquerade again. Should be fun. If you have any suggestion for things to do. Go ahead and let me know.



In other news, I got a new camera today, so look for many more pictures and fun, nerdy fun!

The difference between Men with Guts And Men with Balls

GUTS
Arriving home late after a night out
with the guys, being met by your wife
with a broom, and having the guts
to ask, 'Are you still cleaning, or
are you flying somewhere?'

BALLS
Coming home late after a night out
with the guys, smelling of perfume
and beer, lipstick on your collar
slapping your wife on the butt and
saying, 'You're next, Fatty.'

Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon, Starry Wizards, And the Great Melodic Escape

I know I've been absent, and trying to pass the time and make things okay by posting stories I've been forced to write for school, by posting stupid youtube videos my boss sends my way. Playtime has been taken away from me and It is slightly aggravating. There no excuse for it, I'm sorry (although the Youtube video was incredibly hilarious).

So today, I give you a real post, and to get things off to a good start, an Actual update of things going on in the wide world of melanie. Bullet Style

• We ( a group of close, business minded friends and I) have started talks on getting something together so that a few of us don't have to dedicate our lives to making other peoples tons of money anymore.
  
• Written way too much in the two weeks I've been in school, slacked off on my reading, so far so good
• Had my interview with Dawn from Black Kids - look for that to be up on Don't Sleep Orlando soon. The feature will be published in the Orlando Weekly the week of September 14th (issue comes out wed, Sept 17) and should be available online (I think).
  
• I Made the absolute most delicious Pasta Carbonara from scratch for dinner last night. Yums.
  

By the way, if you ever get to the point where you miss me way soo much you can't stand it and start to cry in bed while crying out my name, don't fret. You can always keep up with the things that I'm enjoying, sites I'm perusing and Images I love suddenly on my Tumblr.
