Halloween! The greatest night for kids ever. I doubt I’ve ever been so messed up in my life as the first two hours home from trick-or-treating. Not being a fan of chocolate (the allergy to it helped) I headed straight for the uncut, unstepped on smarties and Pixi Stix’s. There really is nothing between you and sugar in those things. Anyway, today on fark they had a running discussion of the worst Halloween candy you’ve ever gotten. Though there was plenty of toothpaste from the dentist, pennies from old ladies, and bibles from crazy folk stories to go around, one idea was diabolical genius:
Bouillon cubes.
Unlike the rest, these little nuggets of chicken goodness pass the initial crap/no-crap test from kids. It may not go first round like the smarties or reeses pieces, but you’ve got to think they at least make day 2 or 3 with the rest of the second rate candy. Then wam! Trick’s on little junior and his blood pressure. Pure evil genius.
So its pretty straight forward. Mix Master Mike, and a TGR flick. Who’s down? Its in 2 weeks (Nov 12), we might need to get tickets ahead of time.
Bashment Mix – Top Secret October 2005
I’ve been loving this 40 minute mix recently, good mashup of roots reggae, dancehall, hiphop and oh yeah, Lil Jon! Shoutout to gutterbreakz for the heads up.
I think I saw this guy on BoingBoing, but i can’t remember. In any rate, his photography is really really really really good. He has a lot of amazing work posted on his website, http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/. Check out the quarry shots from Vermont, striking. In other news, my mom reported that there is snow on the top of Mount Mansfield! Bring On Winter!
So I want to be a Dinosaur for Halloween. Not just your face painted half-assed dinosaur. No, that’s just cold blooded (ZING!). I want a costume rocking a spiked tail and and badass booties like when I was five. Something I can equally sleep in or entertain the bar folk in.
Now your all thinking “Aaron can just walk down to isle five at the local 711, why all the ruckus?” We’ll apparently its not that easy. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’m going to have to sew / staple / paste something together in the next week to get the effect I’m looking for. Where’s this sewn / stapled / pasted paragraph going? Flamboyant sewing patterns. Seriously. The Fishhead costume above is just a warm-up, take a look at those kids below. Not that I was alive with Ichthyosaurus, but I’m pretty sure he didn’t bend that way in front of his buddy’s. Seriously.
This is both a very good idea, and a very scary thing to look at. You can check out this site to see if any sex offenders life near you. Go over to California and check out the oasis that is Compton. It’s crazy to see how many sex offenders live near schools and playgrounds and the White House.

I don’t have a nice picture from the video, but here is a great advertisement promoting AIDS awareness. Which is all well and good, but the video is amazing, time lapse graffiti on a large scale!

Heres a link to the story at boingboing. Apparently UNICEF has gotten the permission of the Smurfs creator to use the crazy little blue folk in an anti-war commercial. Its hard to find an actual video of the commercial, but the still frame/audio is pretty messed up. Happy go-lucky Smurfs blasted into pieces as the baby smurfs cry. Not that kids don’t have enough to worry about, these images aught to crack any hope for normal development. Thank god its playing in Belgium, not here in America. I bet the final caption would read a little different: “Your safe American children, their Communist community won’t stand in the way of American ideals anymore.”
Who ever did it; don’t tell Gargamel, he looks pissed.
Over the last 5 years, the Bush Administration has steamrolled over the environment easier that a Cadillac-wielding old man plows through a crowded market. The latest helpless victim of this distain for the environment is the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus.
“…The reasons for this dire situation include: decimation of habitat by logging and suburban encroachment; building of roads that cut off access to the water which it needs for spawning; predation by foreign species such as house cats; and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and sasquatch.”
Although not all these causes can be attributed to the current administrations actions, we must unite against any legislation that would further reduce their numbers. Also it would be helpful to shoot any Sasquatch’s on site, the natural predator of the Tree Octopus.
As seen on boingboing.net:
“This is a 40-minute MP3 of a British radio broadcast called “DJ Food – Raiding the 20th Century” that attempted to sum up the entire cut-up/remix/mash up music movement. It’s lots of crazy, whacky, jarring, harmonious, tricksy, and serendipitous sound, and it made me laugh and think. The landing page for the MP3 has an exhaustive list of the samples employed.”
