I've seen alot of bad tattoos in my life, but really?
Ke$ha's “New tattoo!” takes the cake.
The singer proclaimed on Instagram, displaying both her new “Suck It!” inner lip tattoo and what appears to be a gold toof. While we need some time to wrap our heads around why and to what purpose Ke$ha would get the inside of her mouth inked (Is it a command? To whom? Is it a reminder? It’s a reminder, isn’t it?), we only needed to see the photo for a millisecond to crown her queen of the bad celebrity tattoos, joining the likes of Gucci Mane‘s ice cream cone face ink and Hayden Panettiere‘s misspelled torso tattoo.

Warning: No one should attempt to re-enact or recreate any of the activities shown in this video.
In 1903 French engineer Leon Gaumont was granted patents for loudspeaker systems to go with his sound on disc talking films, which used one of Berliner’s Gramophones.
In 1910 Gaumont demonstrated his Chronophone system, which synchronised sound and film, at the Gaumont Palace in Paris. The compressed-air amplifier, which he called the Eglephone, was just a part of the whole system. The volume was enough for an audience of 4000. Initially the longest moving picture that could be made with synchronised sound was only 200ft, due to the limited playing time of the Gramophone record. (Projection was at 16 frames per second) Gaumont surmounted this problem by having two gramophone platters; a deft operator could switch between them to give a more or less continuous soundtrack.
Remember the guy that served his Penis to paying diners? Well, his in the news again.
Tokyo police are investigating whether a man who cooked his own severed genitals and served them to five paying diners committed a crime.
Mao Sugiyama had his penis and testicles surgically removed in March and kept them frozen for two months before cooking them at a public event in May.
Diners each paid 20 000 yen ($250) for a portion. The police probe came after the mayor of Suginami ward, the Tokyo district where the event took place, said it had involved the display of obscene objects.
“Many residents of Suginami and elsewhere have expressed a sense of discomfort and feeling of apprehension over this,” Mayor Ryo Tanaka said in a statement on Monday. A Tokyo police spokeswoman acknowledged the complaint, but declined to give further details, citing “an ongoing investigation”.
Sugiyama, a painter in his 20s who defines himself as “asexual”, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In an email to AFP in May, he confirmed the event had taken place and said it was organised to raise awareness about “sexual minorities, x-gender, asexual people”.
In tweets on May 18, the artist said steps were taken so his act met all relevant laws, including a ban on organ sales, processing of medical waste and even food sanitation requirements.
Sugiyama said his genitals had been removed by a physician and certified free of infections. - Sapa-AFP
You can guess what my feeling is when it comes to renaming streets & names of Towns.I am sure that most of you will agree that it is just a waste of time & taxpayers money. Who gives a ... what it was called before 1652? Below is the article I found about changing the name of Cape Town to Hui !Gaeb. This is not the first time I have heard this.
Cape Town is set to get a new name this week, courtesy of the local Khoisan community – and Nando’s is sponsoring billboards to advertise it.
“We will be putting up the boards for all to see, and if they’re taken down or vandalised, we will not retaliate. Instead, we will just keep replacing them,” Tania Kleinhans, of the Institute for the Restoration of the Aborigines of SA, said during a ceremony at the Castle of Good Hope yesterday.
And the city’s new name?
//Hui !Gaeb, a Khoisan name meaning “where clouds gather”.
Yesterday’s event, which inc-luded a ceremony to honour Oom Dawid Kruiper, the San leader who died on June 13 in an Upington hospital, called for the renaming, saying it was in recognition of the Khoisan history.
On how Nando’s got involved, Kleinhans explained that she approached the company after seeing the fast food chain’s controversial diversity TV ad.
“We love the advert, because it is based on facts. It is not about racism, xenophobia or diversity. It shows that we are the original people of SA,” she said. Nando’s was quick to offer its support, so from next week expect to see billboards announcing the city’s “new name” on the N2 and outside the Castle in the city centre.
During a wreath-laying ceremony yesterday, about 50 people paid tribute to Kruiper, who died at 71, and the community’s leaders spoke of concern the Khoisan be nationally recognized.
Superbike crashes into Petronas AMG Formula 1 car during head to head race at the Top Gear Live Festival 2012 in Durban South Africa. Not much to say about this clip. People in cars do not always realize that cars have x4 wheels and x4 sets of brakes, and bikes might be able to slow down quickly, cars can do it much safer than on a bike. Looking at this clip, I can see the guy on bike braked hard on front brakes, he should have swerved to the right. You can also hear the car gearing down to get the car to stop faster. Why I do not know.
Fortunately no on was injured.
Watch the clip below.
I wonder when hen will Top gear be coming to Cape Town?
Something new for the Adele fans, but these days I think all artists need some kind of addiction to keep them going.
There’s a revelation about Adele in Marc Shapiro’s Adele: The Biography.
Apparently, the 24-year-old singer struggled with alcohol addiction and at one point, it was so severe that she would perform on stage visibly intoxicated. According to In Touch, Adele told Shapiro in an interview, “I got so drunk by the time I went on at 2 AM that I forgot the words to my own songs.” The bio goes on to detail her alleged drinking problem halfway through her first tour, supposedly caused by the heartbreak that catapulted her into stardom. Read more when the book hits shelves on July 17th.
A Las Vegas man with a 45kg scrotum has rejected offers to perform $1 million (about R8 million) surgery for free because his giant organ has made him famous, according to reports.
Wesley Warren Jr, who suffers from a rare condition that made his scrotum swell, turned down an offer by the Dr Oz Show to pay for the surgery last year because he didn't want to give up the rights to his story. Now a second doctor has agreed to waive most of the cost for the procedure, but Warren still hasn't taken him up on the offer. According to Mail Online, the watermelon-size scrotum Warren carries between his legs has landed him on the Howard Stern Show and the Comedy Central programme Tosh.0 and made him a local celebrity in his hometown.
Firecracker Films, the company behind 'Big Fat Gypsy Weddings' has already signed a contract to make a documentary about him.
Warren told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in October about the pain and humiliation of carrying the deformed genitals. He said he suffered from deep bouts of depression and health complications.
He must wear a hooded sweatshirt on his legs when he's out of public to contain his enormous scrotum. His penis is buried so deeply in the abnormal growth that he is forced to urinate on himself. He only wanted, he said six months ago, to urinate like a normal man and have a romantic relationship with a woman. Warren told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he contracted the extremely rare condition, called scrotal elephantiasis, somehow when he hit his testicle with his own leg while turning in bed one morning. At the time Warren, 47, claimed he was going public to raise money so he could afford the operation - which would require a trip to a special surgeon at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center.
“I don't like being a freak, who would?” he told the Review-Journal.
But now after Warren's story spread across the globe, he seems to be revelling in the fame. Most disturbing, is his reaction to an offer he received from Dr Mehmet Oz, the celebrity physician whom Oprah made famous. Warren claims the Dr Oz Show said it would pay for the entire surgery at a top-notch hospital. However, the show would keep exclusive rights to tell Warren's story. He said he didn't take the TV programme up on its offer because Howard Stern wanted him on his show again. The stars in Warren’s eyes might not be the only thing holding him back, though, says Mail Online. The surgery is highly complicated and he fears he could die on the operating table. The massive swelling is caused by fluid building up in his scrotum. Doctors must remove the excess tissue and then completely rebuild his scrotum. There's also a chance, and not a small one, that complications could force the surgeons to cut off his penis and testicles if his scrotum won't stop bleeding. Dr Joel Gelman, a University of California, Irvine surgeon, who has “never lost a patient or a testicle” while performing the operation has offered to fly to Nevada and perform the procedure for free, as well, the Review-Journal reports. Warren still hasn't followed through with Dr Gelman, the report said.

I'm still wondering why they are making a Baywatch movie. Never mind who the star is going to be, but...... Blonde, boobs & bikini will always make money.
The Internets are abuzz this morning with a rumor that the producers of the long-in-the-worksBaywatch movie are considering Justin Timberlake for the lead. According to TwitchFilm.com, he’d play “a disgraced former Olympic swimmer who tries out for the Baywatch crew.” This sounds like awesomeness along the lines of Jonah Hill’s and Channing Tatum’s 21 Jump Streetcharacters, which renewed our faith in all TV-show-to-movie adaptations.
Alas, some industry experts, like Indiewire, think JT would never go for the part, since he’s all into serious movies that prove his acting chops (like Friends With Benefits?) And maybe that’s a good thing. If he made a movie like this, and we all went to see it, since we are powerless in the face of his charms, it would mean he would keep acting all the time … which in turn means that he’ll continue NOT RECORDING MUSIC. So now, hear us, Hollywood (especially you, Baywatchstudio Paramount, since we’re the same company and all, and should be working together for the greater good). DO NOT sign Justin onto your movie unless there’s a clause in his contract that requires him to record at least 14 new tracks. (None of this “music supervising” for Jessica Biel’s next movie stuff either; we want the real “Sexyback” deal.) /Rant off.
Summer concert season is upon us, which means that a lot of people will be seeing shows by their favorite bands in unusual venues. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that stages are erected so quickly that there isn't always a great deal of time to double- and triple-check to ensure that all safety regulations have been met. To wit, a massive section of the stage collapsed at Toronto’s Downsview Park Saturday afternoon ahead of Radiohead‘s sold-out show there, killing Radiohead’s drum tech, Scott Johnson, and injuring three other crew members. It’s not yet clear exactly what happened, but the Ontario Ministry of Labor will investigate the collapse to see that safety regulations and standards were followed and that staff were probably trained.
Radiohead drummer Philip Selway paid tribute to Johnson on the band’s website. “We have all been shattered by the loss of Scott Johnson, our friend and colleague,” he wrote. “He was a lovely man, always positive, supportive and funny; a highly skilled and valued member of our great road crew. We will miss him very much. Our thoughts and love are with Scott’s family and all those close to him.”
London - A hot-blooded groom from Feldkirch, Germany, couldn't wait until after the reception. So he sneaked into the kitchen with the waitress for a secret tryst just hours after he had tied the knot, a report has said. According to the Daily Mail, Austria’s Vorarlberg Online reported that no one would’ve been the wiser if the father of the bride hadn’t popped in for a snack. The report said that the father stopped the music, sent the crowds home and told no one why.
That same day, the bride went to the registry office to demand a divorce, but was refused. She had to stay with her unfaithful man for six months.
Eventually the bride got what she wanted and so did the groom. The court separated the adulterer and his wife, freeing them both.
He is now happily married – to the waitress, the report said.

Now you know how bags arrive seemingly untampered, but with items missing ! Pls turn up the volume & open the attachment. The video clip is very clear showing how this is done.
In the music industry there are many artists that play the media with daring "acts", just to get the attention of the public & get their name out there.
In the past Stars like Marilyn Manson, Kiss, Ozzy Osborne, Die Antwoord, Madonna & Lady Gaga all did the same thing.
One example so that you know exactly what I am talking about.....Lady Gaga's meat dress. It made headlines worldwide.
Even Tannie Marie in Mosselbaai knows about that. She might not listen to Laddy Gaga, but she sure knows who she is.
Years ago Kiss did just this, off course the story of them, involved hiding their identity, because back then their fathers would disown them if they knew their sons were singing about sluts & drugs.
It was simpler back then to play the media, as you will see bellow how Madonna did it back in the day.
All you need is boobs. lol
Here are the Top 10 moments when Madonna’s boobs made news:
10. Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)
Just because the film was tamed down to cater towards Madonna’s teenage fan-base doesn’t mean the kids weren’t given a glimpse of Madonna’s soon-to-be-headline-grabbing breasts. While eating cheese curls on the pool-deck, Madonna wears a see-through bra.
9. Body Of Evidence (1993)
Madonna’s breasts star in this erotic rip-off of Basic Instinct as fans uneasily watch their favorite pop-star pour candle wax on William Dafoe’s nether regions.
8. Golden Globe Awards (1997)
As Madonna approaches the podium after winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress, fans aren’t thinking about how she has overcome past cinematic missteps, but are more interested to see if her boobs will fall out of that tight black dress with very little cup room.
7. Penthouse and Playboy (1985)
Both magazines publish nude photos of Madonna, ones that she posed for in the late ‘70s to make ends meet. Though she apparently only received $25 for the amateur shoot, the photos later sell for over $100,000.
6. Rock The Vote (1990)
Sexily draped in an American flag for an MTV voting campaign, Madonna snaps and sings, “Freedom of speech is as good as sex.” Because of past episodes, fans’ eyelines are set to Madonna’s chest region, as the mere threat of Madonna exposing her boobs has now become newsworthy.
5. Truth Or Dare (1991)
Madonna’s naked breasts do make a cameo in this film, but because it’s a tour documentary, her reveal is more practical—since her live show has several wardrobe changes—than sensual. Madonna does stir up controversy, however, when Toronto’s finest threaten to arrest her if she simulates masturbation during her performance of “Like A Virgin.”
4. “Bad Girl” (1993)
The cover of Erotica’s third single, “Bad Girl,” features an image of Madonna laying in bed with a cigarette dangling from her lips, while she cups her left boob. When the entire image is later released—not just the cropped square used for the CD-single—fans realize that Madonna wasn’t covering up at all.
3. MDNA World Tour (2012)
At a recent show in Turkey, Madonna tugs on her lace bra during “Human Nature” and reveals her right breast to the audience. At 53-years old, the Queen of Pop’s boobs still manage to cause a media uproar.
2. Sex (1992)
Madonna’s boobs—and every other part of her body—make headlines upon the release of her nude photo book, which certain members of the media describe as pornography, while Madonna’s camp claims it’s fine art. This is the first time Vanilla Ice—who is featured in the book pressing up against Madonna’s naked backside while nibbling on her ear—is part of a project that’s considered “art.”
1. Blond Ambition World Tour (1990)
Madonna outrages/entertains many when she dawns her infamous Jean-Paul Gaultier cone-shaped brassiere while performing “Express Yourself” on the Blond Ambition Tour. Her boobs go down in music history for having a contraption just as famous as Elvis’ jumpsuit, Buddy Holly’s black-rimmed glasses, or Michael Jackson’s sequin glove.

In a scene reminiscent of the Heidelberg Tavern massacre of December 1993, the gutted Barmooda nightclub building on the corner of Lower Main and Station roads in Observatory is cordoned off following an apparent petrol bomb attack in the early hours yesterday. Pictures: Neil Baynes.
A 21-year-old film student has emerged as the heroine of an apparent petrol-bomb attack on an Observatory nightclub, saving four cleaners from an almost certain fiery death inside after they were bound and held hostage by armed robbers. The woman, who said she was terrified of being named amidst rumours of the attack being linked to underworld activity, described how she alerted the police, warning them to “send everyone and everything they could send”. She then braved thick smoke to respond to panicked cries of “help us” and “get a knife” coming from the workers through the floorboards, to rescue them.
“There was smoke billowing through the floor boards and it was busy filling up quickly. I knew I had to get out … That’s when I heard the panicked voices.”
The student was working in an office on the floor above the Barmooda nightclub on the corner of Lower Main and Station roads at the time. She realised something was wrong when she heard a loud bang at about 2.30am yesterday.
“It sounded like a truck had hit the building. I was very confused and panicked. But I immediately called the police.”
In spite of being afraid for her own safety, and without a clue as to what was going on downstairs, the young woman went back upstairs, got a knife, then descended the stairs with only the light from her cellphone to guide her in the choking smoke.
“Luckily I found the people, their hands tied behind their backs with cable ties.
“I was worried. I could not see their faces. I think it was three men and a woman who were locked in. I never even saw their faces, there was smoke everywhere and it was hard to breathe,” she said.
Keeping her wits about her, the young woman said she was conscious that she didn’t know who they were, or what they would do to her if she cut them loose. But she decided to help them get outside. Two of the men managed to force open the side gate leading to the street.
“When I went outside I saw my brother, and that was the last I saw of the people I’d rescued,” said the courageous woman.
She told Weekend Argus that she was working on a movie at the time – and within a split second her life turned into a movie.
“It was just unreal, I was freaking out and the harsh reality of what would have happened to those people is yet to sink in.”
She explained that they had escaped the blaze through the side exit between Barmooda and Trenchtown. According to police, two unidentified men entered the club with firearms and held the four cleaners hostage.
“The suspects pointed firearms at them, handcuffed them and took them to the back of the building. The cleaners were robbed of their cellphones and personal belongings,” spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said. Police believe petrol bombs were used to set the nightclub alight. According to Van Wyk, the four cleaners were safe but traumatised.
“An arson case was registered for investigation. No arrests have yet been made,” he said last night.
At the scene yesterday, Hout Bay’s Sally Mellish, who owns a photographic studio above the club, said she received a call in the early hours yesterday that the place was in flames.
“I lost everything in that fire. My equipment, everything I owned was in there. I could not afford insurance. This is a big mess,” she said.
Barmooda owner Reon Heckrath was briefly at the scene yesterday, in tears and talking to police, but he left without speaking to the media. The club’s website carried this stark message: “Barmooda was set alight tonight and burnt down and there’s nothing left. Staff were hurt and it’s an emotional time for the Barmooda family. We appreciate words of support and good wishes. And please take into consideration some people were hurt tonight. The owner apologises for any inconvenience caused with regards to bookings and events. We will be closed until further.” The owner of the building, Zhaun Amid-Ahmed, told Weekend Argus police had told him the people allegedly responsible for the petrol bomb were still on the scene when police arrived.
“Police chased them as far as Maitland, but they all got away. But police found their car,” he said, adding that the investigation was continuing. Bystanders and residents described the nightclub as a “problematic establishment”, responsible for much unhappiness in the area.
“Gangs and drugs. That’s what was going on there. Judging from what happened and the people who hung out there, it’s no surprise that this happened,” one said.
James Cowley, of the Observatory Neighbourhood Watch, said their activism against the nightclub was no secret in the area.
“The biggest problem was the noise disturbance. It’s been bad and sad, but it’s even sadder and unacceptable what has happened here now.” l Police have asked anyone with information about the attack to call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
The ANC Youth League, Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu have apologised to Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and retracted defamatory comments made about her in 2009.
Shivambu had called her a “racist girl” and “sick woman” and claimed that her all-male executive were her boyfriends and concubines while Malema called her executive council a “group of racist Helen Zille garden boys” at a rally in Cato Manor, Durban, in February 2009.
At the same rally, he apparently referred to her as a “racist”, “colonialist” and “imperialist”. She described the insults as “racist” and “sexist” and sued the men and the ANCYL for R350 000 each.
Summons was also issued against provincial leader Andile Lili. However, Zille said she had agreed to a settlement after she was asked whether she would be amenable to an apology.
The settlement was made an order of court on Thursday. In terms of the settlement, the ANC Youth League, Malema and Shivambu unreservedly apologized for and unequivocally retracted the defamatory statements made by them.
The order recorded that Malema, Shivambu and the ANCYL recognised the offence taken and harm caused.
The ANCYL, Malema and Shivambu were jointly and severally liable to pay Zille’s legal costs.
Zille’s attorney, Amanda Torr, told the Cape Argus on Thursday that Judge Lee Bozalek made the order in chambers and not in open court. The settlement agreement did not include Lili.
Lili, the youth league’s former treasurer in the Dullah Omar region, is accused of telling a newspaper in January, 2010: “Zille is a racist. Helen Zille during apartheid was not there. She never fought to liberate us and today she claims to be the champion of democracy. She wants to make sure the apartheid regime government is back.”
He has refused to apologize. He said on Thursday that he was merely being honest when he made the comments.
Zille told the Cape Argus on Thursday night: “All too often, the only card the ANC has left to play is the race card.
“I wanted the courts to draw a line on this, and this has now been done.”
Mini Biography Chris Evans - not to be confused with the British DJ and wild man of the same name - began his acting career in typical fashion: performing in school productions and community theater. But it was his rapid rise to stardom that was unusual. Bitten by the acting bug in the first grade because his older sister, Carly, started performing, Evans followed suit and began appearing in school plays. From there, it was a quick jump to theater camp and later an internship for a casting office - a position he held one summer while living in a hole-in-the-wall in Brooklyn, New York. Once Evans made friends with a few agents on the job, it was a straight shot to television and blockbuster features.
Originally from Framingham, Massachusetts, the Evans family moved to suburban Sudbury when he was 11 years-old. While at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, his obvious talent led others to lavish praise and encouragement on him, particularly his drama teacher, who cited his performance as "Leontes" in "The Winter's Tale" as exemplary of his skill. After more school plays and regional theater, he moved to New York and attended the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. On the advice of friends, he landed an internship at a casting office and befriended a couple of the agents he regularly communicated with - one of whom later took him on as a client. The screen - not the stage - then became his focus; Evans soon began auditioning for feature films and series television.
Evans made one of his first appearances on "The Fugitive" (2000) (CBS, 2000-2001), a remake of the 1960s series and feature film starringHarrison Ford. In the episode "Guilt", Evans played the son of a small-town sheriff who tries to exact revenge after Dr. Kimble - incognito as a liquor store owner - refuses to sell him and his friends alcohol. After small roles in Cherry Falls (2000) and The Newcomers (2000) - two unknown low-budget features - Evans appeared in "Boston Public" (2000) (Fox, 2000-2004) as a murder suspect. He then appeared in his first major feature, Not Another Teen Movie (2001), a tiresome spoof on teen comedies wherein he played a jock who makes a bet that he can turn an unpopular and unkempt girl (Chyler Leigh) into prom queen.
After filming a couple of television pilots he was confident would be successful - Just Married (2003) and Eastwick (2002) (TV) - he appeared in another listless teen comedy, The Perfect Score (2004), playing an average, ho-hum student who takes part in a plot to steal the SAT test. Hijinks naturally ensue. Then, Evans broke through to the Big Time, grabbing the lead in the kidnapping thriller, Cellular (2004), a suspenseful B movie with a cheesy gimmick - a random wrong number on his cell phone forces him into a high-stakes race to save an unknown woman's life. Despite an unassuming performance from Evans and Kim Basinger as the damsel in distress, Cellular (2004) failed to break any box office records or please a wide majority of critics. Evans then prepared himself for super stardom when he signed on to play "Johnny Storm" (a.k.a. The Human Torch)in Fantastic Four (2005), 20th Century Fox's long-awaited adaptation of the Marvel comic. Although the film was wildly uneven and disappointing, Evans nearly stole the show with his energetic, unfettered performance.

A few days ago it was my dad's birthday and he was being funny as always, putting different hats on during the day. Anyway, he put one of those Muslim "hats" on. Sorry, I do not know what it's called, but he suddenly pulled a face and said "This is what Gaddafi look like when they captured him" "And he said ... shit shit you got me" I thought it was funny. Pulling his face like that I could just imagine what went through Gadaffi's mind (other than a bullet) hehe
What's that saying "what goes around" "F&@$ you up" I meant comes around. L
Lady Gaga Hit In The Head, Gets Cold-Clocked By Stage Pole
Lady Gaga reportedly received a concussion after one of her backup dancers accidentally hit her on the head with a pole while performing her Born This Way Ball show in Auckland, New Zealand on Sunday.
The ex-Steve McQueen Ferrari 275 GTB4 in the workshop at Ferrari Classiche. Note that in this photograph the new roof has yet to be welded in position.
.
That has involved building a jig inside and outside the car, and reproducing the roof and buttresses with hand-beaten steel panels. Then the interior trim will have to be restored and the whole car resprayed to its original colour using period cellulose paint. Given that the magic name McQueen as a previous owner will usually quadruple the price of any car or motorcycle, and that a Ferrari 250 GTO built for Stirling Moss in 1962 recently fetched a world-record $35 million (R295 million!), whatever it costs will be no more than a sound investment.
WHAT WOULD McQUEEN HAVE THOUGHT? Ferrari has a department dedicated to providing certificates of authenticity that testify to the originality of a car. Set up in 2006, Ferrari Classiche has already dealt with more than 3300 requests for certificates, using the company's archive records and original designs. But the final irony is that The Man would probably have thought it a total waste of time and money. McQueen firmly believed that cars were for driving, not collecting - it's a matter of record that he often went street racing late at night on Mulholland Drive in his Jaguar XK-SS, one of only 16 ever made and probably the only one with any meaningful mileage on it!
Last night I saw this thing on TV about a little girl that got 80% burns to her body after a freak accident when the Gelfuel container exploded in her dad's hand. I have a 4 year old, so I feel sorry for this little girl. Can't imagine how the dad must feel. I'm not going to view my opinion or judge the parents, but rather warn you about the dangers of this product. Why the warning? Because these days even monkeys work with dangerous products that can harm the ones around them, so best thing is to know about the danger before you get injured. I found an article on the internet about exploding Gelfuel containers that exploded ,so it was recalled. Check if you have this product and be careful if you use it or someone you know are about to squeeze some onto an open flame. L
Bicycle with a Monster Truck Wheel, what will the hillbillies think of next?
The Monsterbike certainly doesn’t look like the easiest thing in the world to pedal but clearly speed is not what they’re going for this. It’s a “regular” penny-farthing bicycle (you know, those old timey ones with the giant wheel in front and small wheels in the back) taken to the extreme by attaching a monster truck tire as it’s front wheel. This bicycle could totally crush every bike on the road, if only it could go a little bit faster. Now of course you’re going to want to see a video of this bad boy in action, so here ya go:
Is this considered a fixed wheel fixie super mod or something? It looks like only one gear, so maybe. This is from somewhere in The Netherlands, and I like how most of the normal bicycle riders that cruise past don’t even give this monster bike a second look. They should take this on a downhill to really see what she can do.
ChianoSky wasn't around in the '50s. Not by a long shot. But two minutes in her company - and one look at the video for her debut single, 'Sick Sick' (watch below) - and you'll know that baby's got an old soul. And more sex appeal than you can shake a studded, latex boot at. Here she gives us some dating advice:
We want to ask you out on a date, how do we approach you? ChianoSky: Send a signal. Whether it be wink or a smile - because then I have the choice to respond which lets you know if I'm interested or not. If I am, a simple 'hello how are you?' grabs my attention faster than any sassy line that you've probably been thinking up for hours.
What would be your worst idea of date? A date that has not had any thought put into it is not on. Arriving late for a date, an arrogant attitude and a lack of communication can turn any romantic setting into a disaster.
Best? A man who has set up some form of adventure for our date is always exciting. Humour, wit and chilvalry is gold, no matter where we are.
What should a man wear on a first date? I want the man I'm on a date with to feel comfortable and secure with himself, so I won't dictate what he must wear just as long as he has cleaned up and presented himself in a decent manner.
What sort of restaurant appeals to you for a first date? I like being taken somewhere that I haven't been before, somewhere artistic with an upbeat vibe which makes it easier for both of us to relax. It doesn't have to be the fanciest restaurant, as dollar bills do not appeal to me, even in the cracks of the city there are wonderful restaurants that are dying to be explored!
Is there anything we just shouldn't order? We should order everything - food has no boundaries. If I really like you I will probably end up eating some garlic too (smiles)!
Do we bring you a gift? A gift is optional in my opinion, though it is important to keep in mind that no flower in the world can mask a bad attitude, so stay on your game.
Have you ever received creepy gifts from fans? To be honest nothing yet, but I have received some creepy messages on Facebook. A random man once asked me if I was into voyeurism, I don't think I have ever clicked the 'block' button faster!
Do we pick you up or meet you there? I prefer meeting you there. As a woman you want to feel secure and in control of your surroundings, especially if you are meeting up with someone that you hardly know. Being independent also allows me to make a quick exit if the date goes sour (smiles).
What car should we drive? Any car with a steady pair of wheels will do.
What's the worst mistake we can make? Making sexual jokes or comments is not hot!
What's the worst date you've ever been on? Im not much of a 'dater', but I once went on a date where this guy asked me if I wanted to 'touch his knob' while touching his handbrake - before he could finish laughing I was already dialling the police.
Where do you stand on pick-up lines? Getting back to basics is a winner for me, but now and then a well crafted pick-up line could do the trick!
What is the worst pick-up line you've ever heard? 'You owe me an ice cream, 'cause when I saw you I dropped mine'
What do you look for in a man? Someone who is artistic, ambitious, supportive, adventurous and has a good sense of humour. I don't need the hottest man, just a man with the hottest heart that I can be wild with.
Former Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch found dead after apparent suicide. Awful news to pass along this evening. Bob Welch, who sang and played guitar for Fleetwood Mac during the pre-Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham era, was found dead in his Nashville home this evening after an apparent suicide. The singer, who was 66 years old and had reportedly been suffering from health issues for some time, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
Welch was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974, but left the group before the band experienced its massive success with their eponymous 1975 album. He did, however, go on to experience some success as a solo artist; his song “Sentimental Lady,” featuring backing vocals from Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham, was a Top 10 hit in September of 1977.
Dark Shadows - Staring Johnny Depp It's going to be awesome.I've just watched the Official Trailer for this movie and believe it's going to be full of action packed & funny scenes with some dry humor and some twists in the story-line.
Dark Shadows Official Trailer #1 - Johnny Depp, Tim Burton Movie (2012)
Basically the story goes like this.... In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet--or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles. Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.
I am a fan of Johnny Depp movies, yes I am said Sam I can. Haha L
As if there weren’t enough accessories for your iPhone, Nissan has come up with the new Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone case. The iPhone case features Nissan’s new ground-breaking technology - a self-healing paint. This unique technology was initially designed for use on cars, but is now being used for the Nissan iPhone accessories. The world’s first self-healing iPhone Case is impressive, to say the least. The case is made of ABS plastic, which is more rigid and robust than other plastics, preventing any damage to the iPhone. The outer coat is made from polyrotaxane, where the chemical structure of the surface is malleable and has the ability to change back to its original shape. What does this mean? Quite simply, that the next time you drop your iPhone and it gets that soul-destroying first scratch, the paint will mend itself almost before your heart is done sinking. The gel-like surface is also scratch-resistant and adds a better grip, which can only prove useful when trying to take down an all-important number in the early hours of the morning. The initial batch of prototypes are available, and if there's a strong demand, we'll see the cases becoming available towards the end of the year. L
