Ok. Another example of internet phenoms combining… Slow mo guys do the cinnamon challenge.
Here’s a couple of other people doing it… language warnings apply…

When Youtube sensations collide…
Guy photographs himself for 12.5 years
I thought I’d posted the first instalment of this last time around – but can’t seem to find it. Anyway. Noah Kalina puts on a one man boys to men – or boy to man – show in this video. It’s very cool.
A bit of pong at the traffic lights
Waiting at traffic lights is dead time. This little installation art/retro gaming homage is pretty cool…
Fainting Goats
You’ve probably seen this already. But I owe the internet a series of funny YouTube videos after last week’s type fest.
“When the goat is startled or excited it causes a stiffening of the muscles,” which causes the goat to fall over. Like this
Happy Farter’s Day
I really enjoyed my first father’s day yesterday, but I’m mindful of the exclusivity that days like it engender, and the pain and anxiety it causes men who would like nothing more than to be dads, and children who would like nothing more than to have a dad.
So I propose a new, more inclusive, day for the first day after Father’s Day.
To be celebrated in whatever manner you deem most appropriate.
Why complete disclosure isn’t always the best policy on your online dating profile
I’m a big fan of full disclosure as a PR tool when things go wrong. If you can get on the front foot and air your dirty laundry before other people air it for you, you rob others of the power of outing you, and your honesty and integrity will boost your credibility and reputation, buying yourself a bit of time to deal with any fall out… it’s great for PR crisis management. It’s terrible when you’re a “brony” and you’re putting together an online dating profile. Like patriotpony1986.
This is perhaps the most honest dating profile ever written. So earnest that it is perhaps a clever parody.
My self-summary
I am a proud conservative American and brony (male My Little Pony fan). I work very hard to enmesh the philosophy of Ayn Rand within the framework of tolerance and love espoused by Pink Pie and friends. I’m something of an intellectual, and would love to discuss politics or cartoons with somepony near me in the future. Please understand that if we were to meet, I AM THE MAN in the relationship.
What I’m doing with my life
Trying to finish the first draft of my e-book entitled Serfdom in Equestria, an expose on the liberal agenda slowly eroding freedom in the My Little Pony universe.
How to go to the toilet properly
Look. This is the type of “science” that tobacco companies roll out to sell more cigarettes. And it contains a bit of an historical error in the first minute – people have been sitting on toilets rather than squatting for much longer than 100 years. One only has to visit Roman ruins, or read about Luther’s toilet seat ruminations, to know that this is the case… but anyway. Lest you live your life uneducated and “doing it wrong” when it comes to your number 2s…
I give you… the Squatty Potty.
Guy gets new green screen, does completely rational thing…
So this guy got a green screen. And you know what I’d do if I had a green screen – because it’s what everybody would do.
I’d take this awesome cloud video:
And with a complete sense of nonchalance, I would lip sync to an entire Creed song while falling through said clouds.
Admit it. That’s totally the first thing that popped into your head at the words “green screen”…
Tumblrweed: Little Face Mitt
I enjoy following the US election cycle. It’s funny. It’s made funnier by this tumblr. Little Face Mitt.
A disproportionate response: the only correct way to react to Facebook “hacking”
I use “hacking” here in the loosest possible sense to describe the not particularly funny thing people do when you leave your computer, phone, or tablet unattended and they take liberties with your Facebook status.
It was probably funny once. And it’s funniest when it involves toilet humour. But now it’s old. And now, better still, this video is circulating and people are becoming aware that the best revenge for this Facebook misdemeanour is a totally disproportionate response.
This guy learned his lesson (there’s some bad language in this video).
Great burger review. Gets autotuned.
I love a good burger. So does this guy. He has a whole channel dedicated to burger reviews.
The autotune guys love this guy.
Both these videos were found via Stellar.io.
As a bonus, here’s his review of the Burger King’s Bacon Sundae.
You know what day it is?
Sometimes you need something like this to shock you out of whatever stupor you’re in and to remind you just how inane the lyrics to a song are.
Book spine poetry (and theology)
So ages and ages ago, Ali tagged me in a meme. I liked the meme. I wanted to participate. And then Andrew participated, and one thing led to another…
I made some poems, that felt a little more like prose. I’ll write out the titles below each picture so that you
