since a web dump.  but here we go.

we start at boing boing with a double shot from those guys.  first up, is something that might be the best thing i’ve ever posted on here:  an idea vending machine.  seriously.  i get so frustrated with an indecisive group who can’t figure out what do, and i’m just as much a part of the problem when it happens.  but now two quarters solves that problem in an instant.

the second hit from boing boing is a bit late, but i didn’t have time to post.  it’s pretty simple.  iran tested some missles, but then tried to lie about it by putting out some photos that were…doctored.  well, needless to say it didn’t take long for the fierce gavel of judgment to come crashing down on the site of the next season of “the war” coming to fox news, cnn and msnbc this call.  dear iran, you suck at photoshop.  thx, the internets.

in bike news, comes an amazing idea from trek, featured over at gearfuse.  the bike company has come up with the ingenious concept of a biking vending machine/repair station.  the one-stop-shop would have come in especially handy a couple weeks ago when i found myself stuck on the side of the road with a flat.

in something that needs little explination, lazarus has developed wine labels so the blind can get drunk a lot easier.  

in music news, radiohead keeps staying like 5 steps ahead of the pack and this time they are doing it with their music video.  apparently thom yorke and crew decided that they didn’t need cameras for their new video, just lasers.  the pics are amazing and the video should be coming soon behind.

and finally, for the first time since i decided i wanted one and persued tracking it down after christmas for three months, g4 has given me a reason to not want a nintendo ds anymore.

in honor of me being really tired from camping and pretending to sleep outside on the ground in a tent, because really sleeping like that is impossible, i give you nintendo stuff painted on things.

in a double shot form boing boing, we have the mega man bedroom and the mario car.

nothing says happy memorial day like japanese games painted on things.

sorry i haven’t posted much this week. getting back into the swing of non-vacation life has proved to be more hectic than expected, but with my moms days responsibilities now behind me, i have a lazy weekend left to surf the web and share.

being born in 1980, i have come to the realization that simpsons references will hold significance for the rest of the my life, and i’m very ok with that. but the fact that one of my all-time favorites has become a reality, makes me realize what is possible now that i am in the adult part of life. best week ever has discovered good burger (bonus points for the kenan and kel movie reference). june’s trip to nyc just got a whole lot more intense.

with our currency constantly getting the reality-tv makeover treatment, props to this guy over at flickr, who is taking it to the next level. i recommend taking advantage of the sideshow feature.

considering i went back to the country to see mom and grandma today, i should have gotten this belt over at boing boing to fit in.

that is great, but it’s not ultra awesome. however, it is fitting that a blog called ultra awesome, is responsible for an ultra awesome nes coffee table. and this isn’t just style, it’s function. the thing actually works! if you only follow one link today, make sure it’s that one for the full break down.

and finally, cnn is reporting that obama dwindled hillary’s superdelegate count to two. which makes this pic that my buddy jason sent me from icanhascheezburger significant yet again in this race. and now, we must part ways by saying, kthxbai.

thanks to t-var for that headline idea, but i guess i should also explain it. so i worked the chili cook-off today for my radio station. it’s a big cluster wide event for all six stations actually, with the new rock station headlining it. it’s pretty basic. it’s at the raceway complex, it has tons of bands, and chili cooks competing, beer and soda and food. my station has a coke tent, where we sling sodas. well, in an effort to lift a bunch of cokes, i hurt my back. pulled a muscle i think, but still, it’s definitley one of those ‘i’m getting old’ things.

regardless, my back pain will not stop this web dump.

first off, the game of chess is like a sword fight. just listen to wu-tang and you’ll know. well now, you can find out the mysteries of chessboxin’ because g4 is reporting that rza has set up wu-tang online chess. bong bong.

ninjas are still first in my life, but robots are a close second. sure they can’t always be trusted, but they can also be awesome. check out this celebrity robot t-shirt over at boing boing.

and finally, a message about roads. roads? where the onion is going…they don’t need any roads.

now, i was initially looking for a picture of danny glover to use in this post, because of his famous line about getting to old in lethal weapon. however, his staring in ‘the royal tenenbaums’ lead me to another photo that inspired me to make a lolcat adaptation. i can has a baumer?

that’s right. i’m headed off to see onerythym in late april and it should be an awesome time of video games, movies, internet punching, eating, legos, ninjas, and pretty much everything else we like. an announcement of that magnitude calls for a web dump.

first we head to japan because, well, when it comes to video games, they are awesome. and while i really had no idea what this game was, that doesn’t make “Tottado! Yowiko no Mujintou Seikatsu!” for the ds look any less amazing. i’ve never bought a game just because of it’s cover, but i might have to after i hit up play-asia.com and read this description:

Play this hilarious survival game as with the comedian pair Yowiko, consisting Hamaguchi and Arino. With a 150 grams of flour and bottles of sauces and spices Hamaguchi and Arino set off to challenge living at a deserted island in their TV program “Yowiko’s 0 yen deserted island lifestyle”. This program is now made into a game on your DS. Assign tasks for the pair, like gathering food and building shelter. Watch the hilarious scenes unfold before your eyes by a flick of your DS stylus.

magical.

in movie news, johnny 5 is still alive? variety has the latest input on a possible re-make.

over at the wonkette, they point out the fine work being done by the washington times. in the latest internet punch poll, we found out stating the obvious was really easy.

and in close, thanks to these cool camera glasses from boing boing, you can pull off some cool spy stuff AND look like your favorite tv bounty hunter at the same time.

somehow i forgot to post this.  oh well.  here it is 3 days late:

so yeah, it’s st. patrick’s day. the day named after a saint that is most commonly associated with going out to bars and drinking. i’m not condemning the process, just the saintly association. i almost got roped into it, but a call back never came, and i don’t feel left out at all. i don’t need to go out and experience the live version of this. in fact, i’d rather just stay home, catch up on some reading, and maybe even watch my netflix that has been here for a a week and a half now. i did at least move it from my desk to the coffee table on saturday. it’s now a whole 5 feet closer to the dvd player. progress!

unlike this recent quote from dmx, that got him the daily honor on 23/6. the whole interview can be found here for some even more disturbing context. you know, there is a lot of blood on the hands of people in washington right now for the current state off affairs but at the other end of the spectrum, perspective like that isn’t exactly helping things either.

staying in the wonderful world of music, i caught a blurb the other day that said something about metalica re-releasing albums on vinyl to try and curb bootleggers. now there are a lot of ways to get a record into a digital format, but aquire might have one of the coolest.

in romania, tikisitch has discovered american action cola! let freedom ring!

smashing mag has good stuff for you laptop people.

in the “do want!” category is this shirt from meat bun.

and finally, a wonderful tale between father and son, courtesy of the onion.

the hanju is back in town.

for a little under a week, before the korean army owns him. it’s like the guy never left us. it’s hard to think it’s been three months almost since he took off for home. should be a good week. if i don’t post much, you know why. so i guess i gotta make sure this stuff is really good. at least i liked it.

have you ever wondered where all those numbers go in the ludacris “area codes” song? strangemaps not only gave us a visual aid, but broke down luda’s ho-trends.

over at nintendo, mario is pissed and is letting the bosses know about it. seamantics managed to intercept a copy of the plumber’s complaint letter.

over at boing boing, they got an awesome letter of a totally different variety.

obama @ comic con? o rly? g4 says srsly.

of course, isn’t this slacking in itself? just posting the funny i find online? quite the paradox. or quandary. or other words like that. on with the internets!

in metal gear news, kotaku says the film could be on it’s way to a potential writer and director. over on the wii, if you are planning on playing super smash brothers brawl, then do not watch the video over at joystiq. however, if you aren’t, then you need to check out these mgs nuggets hidden in the game. especially if you spent hours on the ps one yacking on the codec in shadow moses.

in news that would be great if we had arcades in this country anymore, street fighter vi revealed a new character and josyiq has the art. and while there is no doubt that sf4 will be awesome, g4 has compiled a bunch of fighting games that were not. make sure you check out that home brew charles barkley rpg trailer at the bottom of the page!

keeping up the currency, the new five dollar bill is out, and cnn has the pix. nothing says america like a big purple 5.

and in honor of this weekend’s bbq, gearfuse has the clothes and accessories we need to kick if off right. who’s ready for a picnic? that lady. all the time.

so it won’t all be about legos, but it very well could, and maybe should be. who doesn’t love legos? they are a favorite of onerythym and myself. of all the building materials from our childhood, what is better? not lincoln logs, tinker toys, erector sets, or blocks…i mean blocks, really?

so we start today, with the next gen of legos: the lego batman trailer! the folks over at g4 also busted a good lego april fools joke from the pages of electronic gaming monthly.

lego batman looks to be picking up where lego star wars left off except with one majo differnece. while in lsw you could use bad guys to complete the games missions, jostiq says today, you can actually BE THE BAD GUYS in lego batman.

i guess joystiq has a lego affliction like we do here at internet punch, becuase they also had some sweet news about the lego indiana jones game.

and if those games make it to pc, well why not combine the fun?

so outside of the world of legos, moldawer in the morning (who’s podcast i check out on the regular), has finally lost it with the hillary bashing. at least someone has a sense of humor about this.

in breaking news, the olsen twins know how to read and write! and not only that, 23/6 is reporting they are making a book! besides that sample page, initial reports say the book will weigh 4 times as much as both of them combined.

and finally, i love hip hop, but even this is hard for me to follow.

i’m off to play more metal gear portable ops. all that mgs4 talk last week gave me the itch.

thanks to ajay for tonight’s simple webdump. dan abrams keeping them honest on msnbc :
