Have you ever wanted your own secret military base but just can’t afford it or don’t want the legal headache? Now there’s an easy solution to your problems. A company has invented inflatable versions of the equipment you need for your own military compound.
Imagine people seeing that on your property when looking through Google Earth or Google Maps or via spy satellite! It would be a great practical joke, and you’d get a lot of attention!
Obviously these things are harmless in and of themselves. But remember that some people don’t appreciate such humor. And from satellite these things might look realistic enough to warrant serious attention. So don’t be surprised if you get visited by men in dark suits and dark sunglasses. Install these fake weapons at your own risk. 🙂
Word has it that the next irregularly scheduled Buffet o’ Blog leadership summit will be at the local Larry’s Pizza tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon. It may seem odd to some people to have such an important event at a pizza buffet, but it really makes a lot of sense (not that it has to, but it happens to). The pizza tastes great, and there’s an endless supply. That alone is worth the price of admission. That feature of the restaurant lends itself to our meeting’s agenda. I will explain. We’ll all eat lots of great pizza (like chicken-bacon-ranch and meat madness — mmm!) and drink plenty of sweet tea. Then as we become saturated (or even super-saturated) with the yummy goodness, we’ll need to sit around and rest for a while, which provides time for discussion. This is a good time for our brand of discussions, because everyone is happy from partaking in all that great food and beverage. Joy and randomness will flow freely.
So obviously it’s a great time, and the verbal discourse leads to future great content for the blog. It’s a win-win situation for all, really. So stop by if you get a chance. Guests and visitors are welcome.
This has been a Buffet o’ Blog public service announcement.
Recently I saw a new G.I. Joe cartoon on TV. Actually, it was more of a movie, called Resolute. It was on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim (which I don’t watch often, but happened to find this).
If you like action movies and/or the original G.I. Joe cartoon, you will like this. The story was great, the graphics were great, and the sound was incredible — movie-quality (and featuring lots of bass). (Although the web version doesn’t have quite the graphical and sound quality; if you can catch it on TV, do so.)
But this is not your ’80s G.I. Joe! By that, I mean that people actually die sometimes. (If you were growing up in the ’80s, you probably remember how it was — on cartoons and even TV shows like the A-Team, no one ever died, and they made sure to not even imply it.)
There are several parts to this one episode, and all together it may be close to an hour in length. So it takes some time. But if you have any interest in it, I highly recommend watching it.
I found another crazy awesome-because-it’s-so-bad video. This video clip is from an Indian movie featuring Superman and Spiderman. (Yes, they have joined forces, for whatever reason.) Although, you will quickly notice that Spiderman is a woman. So I reckon that makes her Spiderwoman. That’s kinda weird. And they appear to be romantically-inclined.
In this video, they’re flying together, then apart (and since when could Spiderman, er, Spiderwoman, fly?), and then they do some bad dancing together. But keep watching, because they spot some criminals who need a superhero-style beatdown. You will laugh at that part. The special effects we’re used to in America apparently don’t translate well. And then after the criminals’ nefarious plans are thwarted, Superman and Spiderwoman dance some more. This dancing will probably make you laugh, too (unless you vomit — don’t take it too seriously, okay?).
By now, you’ve probably realized this isn’t a direct port from an American Superman film. He’s never appeared with Spiderman nor his long-lost sister. And he doesn’t dance (thankfully!). So yes, this is a generic-brand Superman. And it shows…
BTW, if the music gets annoying during the dance scenes, just mute it. I think it’s even funnier when muted. But listen to the music during the fight scene — it’s amusing.
It was also funny when they were flying around and saw a group of people dancing, so they decided to bust a move in the sky, then join the people on the ground to get their dance on.
I also noticed that Superman doesn’t look very muscular. I reckon that didn’t translate too well, either…
I wonder if the movie labels here in America have sued anyone over these types of films. Because at first glance, it looks to be a rip-off of copyrighted superheroes. Although, when you look closer, you see that they didn’t copy very much at all…
If there’s one thing I learned from this video, it’s that when I start releasing movies, I’m going to release them overseas, because obviously the bar is set much lower in other parts of the world…
