This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my life… Just further proof that beauty pageants are as retarded as the contestants. Go South Carolina…

I have watched this a few times and it just gets funnier and funnier. I am running out to the store right now to buy maps in South Africa and in Iraq.

Listening to a radio show tonight they mentioned a new Indiana Jones movie coming out on May 22.

The trailer sounds pretty exciting, so I went searching for it and thanks to YouTube, here is the trailer:

I’m really looking forward to seeing this movie. Watching this trailer makes me want to break out my Indiana Jones trilogy DVD box set and get back up to speed on all things Indiana Jones.

Don’t let my post title scare you away from reading this post. It’s a great nugget of “laugh your ass off” with a side of almost wetting yourself. Read on.

Ok, here’s the set up… remember back when you were a little kid, you’d be all alone in your room with your cassette player, 8-bit Nintendo and rocking out to some crazy 80’s song?

Well sometimes you would actually sing and dance by yourself. Don’t deny it. Embrace your inner child memories. If I can admit it, so can you.

Anyway, check out this awesome video of a little kid singing and dancing to Britney Spears. He even rocks the official Britney Spears dance moves… hehe…

About 1:10 into the video, his mom comes in and screams, which makes him scream, then he faints. Awesome!

Yes, I’m a bad person. I know. But damn. I can’t stop watching and laughing at this video.

Two of my favorite things growing up as a kid were playing with my Lego’s and watching Monty Python.

As time passed and I was no longer a kid, my Lego’s got passed down to my younger brother and I found new things to do with my time. Computers and girls

Even though I didn’t have my Lego’s anymore, I still had Monty Python. My VHS tapes are pretty much toast now but they’ve since been replaced with modern DVD’s.

This morning I went on a quest… a quest for the Holy Grail… hehe… run away! run away! and I found this awesome nugget of two of my fondest memories as a little geek:

Yeah. My day will now be complete that I’ve had my fill of both Lego’s and Monty Python.

Side note, for those who care, today is also my birthday. Feel free to send Lego’s or back up copies of Monty Python videos.

Jada’s Air Guitar Rocker is exactly what it seems to be: an air guitar made real.

“We took the air guitar phenomenon and put it into an amp,” says creator Nitrous Roxide, who demonstrates it well in this video.

The belt buckle detects strums of the air plectrum, while the belt unit plays the sounds.

The songs, stored on little expansion packs, are divided into each note: all the player must be able to do is keep to the track’s tempo, and he or she can rock on.

“It’s Guitar Hero on the go.”

Flashback to 1986 - I’m 14 years old and sitting in my room with my Commodore 64 hooked up to my 13 inch black & white television, typing in a 7 page long basic program from a computing magazine.

I knew IBM “clones” existed, but I knew I had it made with my trusty C64. If you weren’t around then or if you were a Commodore hater, you missed some really cool years of computing.

Early Macintosh snobs were always cracking on C64 users, granted I learned on Apple II computers in 2nd grade elementary school.

Yes, the Macintosh had better graphics, a mouse, a user interface, etc but, the C64 world had something even better: game/program trading galore or as some would call rampant piracy.

Now, I know people have always copied this and that, but I remember C64 trade fairs where you’d leave with a shoe box full of 5.25 floppies packed full of goodies.

It would take weeks to go through all of it. Ah the memories.

If I had seen this commercial back then, it would have probably driven me to IBM clones much sooner.

Fortunately this is (or was) a TV commercial for the Commodore 64 home computer that aired in 1985 on Australian television and well, I’m from the USA.
