I've been seeing links to the new Weezer video for Pork and Beans all over the intertubes, but I've never clicked on it.

Today I clicked on it. It is full of total intertubic awesomeness! They must have had so much fun contacting all these internet phenomenons to make this video.

Watch it and see how many you can pick out.

Mmm. A nice collection of vintage pinup art. Or, as they say:

The Best in Classic Pin-Up and Comicbook "Girly" art

UPDATED: The link has changed - they are hosted at Fortune City, which is a shame, as it's full of annoying ad pages. It looks like they were moving to www.paintedanvil.com, but there is no site there now.

I had forgotten about this site until I started seeing this entry showing up as a search result for "painted anvil". For some reason, this entry is the top result for that search. So I fixed the link.

This is a funny short story involving time travel and internet forums (and Hitler):

This film about how to Speak Geek made me LMAO!

How To Speak Geek

This is a pretty funny video.

Nerd Core Rapper MC Frontalot has a video out for his track "Bizzaro Genius Baby". It's awesome.

Here is the YouTube version:


Here is a higher quality Flash version.

Edward Gorey fans and Star Trek fans. Who thought they would intersect? But apparently Edward Gorey was a Star Trek fan!

This cartoon of "The Trouble With Tribbles" done in the style of Edward Gorey is spot-on awesome.

This is something I didn't know. Apparently before Oingo Boingo became a New Wave rock band, they were a musical theater troupe called "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo". And very weird. Weirder than they were when they played New Wave music. (Which is pretty weird.)

In any case, in 1976 they appeared on The Gong Show!


What an awesomely weird performance on a classically weird TV show.

There are lots of Oingo Boingo music videos on YouTube. Enjoy!

UCLA just launched a profoundly awesome historical archive of news photographs from the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Daily News.

BoingBoing has a fun list of favorites to browse.

I love old black and white photos.

Stop, Look, and Listen is a wonderfully imaginative stop-action live movie from 1967 about aggressive driving that is so valid in today's modern age of road rage!
