Apparently, internet wunderkind Wil Wheaton (from ST:TNG fame) once pitched the idea of a Celebrity Dungeons & Dragons show to Comedy Central:

Goddamn I would love to see Ricky Gervaise tearin’ ass on a troglodyte while fiendish-but-fair Dungeon Master Ali G rolls a new random encounter with the Whores of Troglodon from behind his shitty soda-splattered screen.

On some artist’s blog there was an illustration contest calling for reinterpretations of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. Above is the winner. The rest are on his blog.

Orson Welles doing a champagne commercial.

Here’s a Gallery of Demonic Tots and Deeply Disturbing Cuisine. Mid-century marketing at its best. This kid will eat pork and beans straight from a can. After that you can expect him hide under your bed waiting for you to stand up so he can cut your Achille’s tendons, Pet Cemetary style.

Check out how the drip falling from the spoon is portrayed as a glistening jewel to be savored (larger and clearer image). On another one, there’s a great slogan, “Meat… You’re right in liking it.”

An indie band has a music video about what happened to all the E.T. cartridges for Atari.

X-Entertainment has a good yarn on the first issue of Nintendo Power. He even talks a bit about it’s free predecessor, Nintendo Fun Club News, to which I was a crypto-subscriber. Remember, back then video gaming was a pretty geeky pursuit. You had to hide it if you wanted to keep your teeth.

Wonderful website entitled MEN OF THE INTERNET – every pic a winner. Expect to see them in Ohio around, I don’t know, the end of April (if all of their invites go through, if you catch my drift).

Click on any pic, and guess what…more pics!!

Apparently the conveniences of modern technology have made us all very lazy. It’s just too easy to tell time these days, which is why Sharpe Products is going super-old-school and selling the Stonehenge Watch. Although not the first portable sundial we’ve seen, this pocketwatch manages the perfect blend of style and street cred for the Druid-on-the-go. It’s a throwback to the days before atomic clocks and internet time servers, when estimating the time to within an hour was considered deadly accurate. The Stonehenge has an exact, miniature replica of the fabled British landmark die-cast on one side, and a compass engraved on the other to help you get your bearings. Sharpe obviously realizes the frustration you may encounter using this archaic method, so they’ve thoughtfully included an analog clock on the outside of the watchcase. Not necessarily suitable for those in the Pacific Northwest, where the 364 days-a-year of clouds and rain will severely limit its usability.
