Dead Robot The space between gay and straight, stupid and smart.

Scattered Stuff

Too small to post on it's own, too big to be ignored:

My niece, Emma Flannery Lawrence Healey and Richard Rosenbaum get a nod for their creativity and fun from Torontoist. Something so simple creates something so fun.

Gizmodo posts a video of a man getting the poop knocked out of him by a robot. Yay! Actually it's a video from a new BBC show called The Wrong Door. You need to check out their website. Couldn't get the videos working (Youtube) but the gist of it is that it's a wired version of Monty Python.

Speaking of British Comedy, does anyone remember "The Goodies"? Romach might... Like The Wrong Door, it was comedy created back in the new video heyday:

And with more video, I was reminded of this toy I coveted from my next door neighbour for years. Pay particular attention to the grooviest back yard ever:

And completely out of context, my favorite quote from Mad Men to date:

You are the product. You feeling something. That's what sells. Not them. Not sex. They can't do what we do and they hate us for it.

And finally, a picture of me yelling like a cartoon:
Aaasgh!

  1. OMG YES! The goodies here was huge for years. So whacky! I used to love watching it on a Saturday night. Its being repeated here too on one of the comedy channels! I love that last photo of you! So funny!

  2. I like everything about this post. EVERYTHING!

    Also, now every hipster in Toronto knows my middle name. That’ll learn me to not make up a cool flickr i.d.

  3. Diverse, yet strangely coherent.

    Nicely played.

    Split

  4. That picture is awesome, yet slightly disturbing.

    Are you, like, constantly naked? :)

  5. I love that pic of you! You’re creative!
