I like big butts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny. That the best possible party accessory imaginable is a replica of the gigantic butt from the Baby Got Back video.



Admit it. You've always watched that video and thought it would be awesome to dance on an enormous buttock. Of course, the ideal would be to have a gigantic butt permanently installed in your backyard or living room, but this is simply impractical for most people. I therefore propose my newest business venture: a gigantic butt rental service. Our replica giant butt will be available for parties, weddings, bar mitzvahs, choral concerts... Like chocolate fountains or photobooths, a gigantic butt will soon be the must-have luxury event item.




Of course one must consider health and safety. I'm unsure how to get a gigantic butt certified for commercial usage, but I'm sure we can work out some appropriate regulations and signage.



And then of course there's the extreme awesomeness of the business cards.



Okay, so I also just like having an excuse to say "gigantic butt" all the time.

Yo! Let's look at the Gio-fiz


Oregon Public Broadcasting put Time Team America into production.

"That's what archaeology tries to do, to highlight what people didn't write down, the importance of day-to-day life. So many historic sites no president ever slept at, yet they're still as a composite critically important to understand American history." Said Eric Deetz, Chicago Archaeologist and Time Team member.

The parent show in England has run for 15 years and surprised everybody when it proved live archaeology could make commercially viable television.

The show's pilot was an instant download hit and the first episode from
Philadelphia airs on July 22nd on PBS.

Cool! A successful show will weave wonders for the public's interest and enthusiasm for archaeology and will no doubt inspire a new generation of talented scientist historians.

it's always the lowercase g's

This weekend, whilst following links away from iLT, I stumbled upon the revelation that Futura - that good old neutral-modern sans standby - was originally designed to look like this.



Mind-blowing! To me, Futura today is a bit corporate, Helvetica's slightly more stylish sister. Though Wes Anderson of course uses it to great effect, I associate it primarily with Best Buy. Futura Classic, on the other hand, is like a renegade steampunk space captain. Check out those crazy g's!



Wikipedia can tell you more. My new life goal is to find an excuse to use that lowercase g in a professional project. Or as a sleeve emblem on an extraterrestrial military jacket.

(In other typeface news, I'm also lusting for this.)

with respect to the great man August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009.

Check out moonwalker the Sega platform game.
wiki source
Rescue those children and defeat Mr Big with your dance off power moves and other quite surreal goings on...

Your an adult now and your parents aren't here to police your gaming so there is really no excuse for not having the game clocked by the end of the month.

It's all love Michael. Check it:

Step 1.
Mac Users: Download the Sega Emulator Genesis Plus v1.3.0 here
PC Users: Sorry, you'll have to find your own emulator... there are many.

Step 2.
(assuming your already running a torrent client) Your looking for a file called moonwalk.smd this is the game.
I recommend Google: Torrent moonwalk.smd

Step 3.
Install, open, play, Savour, enjoy.
