Must Watch Christmas Ad: The Long Wait Not since Volkswagen's The Force have I seen a commercial I loved as much as this. It's a new ad for John Lewis (a UK retailer for furniture, fashion, toys, homewares, gifts, etc). Titled The Long Wait, it's a sweet story about a young boy who's impatiently counting down to Christmas. (After you watch the ad, tell me if you thought there were a lot of similarities between the two. From John Lewis' website: "This year we wanted to bring to life the feeling of excitement and anticipation you get when you've wrapped up that perfect gift and can't wait for Christmas day to arrive." Loved this from beginning to end. The music 'Please, please, please let me get what I want' was originally recorded by the Smiths in 1984 and has been re-recorded by Amelia Warner, who writes and performs under the name of Slow Moving Millie. You can also watch John Lewis' 2010 ad here. via [Creative Review]
when one of the popular kids called one of my best students a loser, she turned around, looked at the bully square in the face and said, “Why? Because I'd rather read a book on weekends than go to parties and puke with you. Because LOL That was awesome. I would have loved to see the looks on the bullys face, as it was probably priceless. That sounds terribly judgmental. I can't stand this girls attitude and slut shaming. That's a terrible response, really. really, Oh bullshit it is about TIME bullys get stood up too. Are you serious, thunt0331? So it's okay that the bully can call her names but she can't call him on the way he makes fun of her? whoo hoo! I love this post. Nice job! Life happens in the grey areas... Fact of the matter is, Being bullied and returning in kind isn't necessarily the best way to go about it.. Hmmm..... Seriously, thunt? I think her response was brilliant. I would love to meet this girl! Loser is kinda innocent next the huge assumptions the nerdy girl made I'm absolutely shocked at the amount of people who call this student "rude" and presumptuous. suzieq - "but they have no right to look down on those who choose to take the higher road in life." what is that supposed to mean? .

Didnt You Hear… — Anything and Everything that is Cool, Hot, Fresh and Classic. How to Hunt Elephants MATHEMATICIANS hunt elephants by going to Africa, throwing out everything that is not an elephant, and catching one of whatever is left. EXPERIENCED MATHEMATICIANS will attempt to prove the existence of at least one unique elephant before proceeding to step 1 as a subordinate exercise. PROFESSORS OF MATHEMATICS will prove the existence of at least one unique elephant and then leave the detection and capture of an actual elephant as an exercise for their graduate students. COMPUTER SCIENTISTS hunt elephants by exercising Algorithm A: Go to Africa. Start at the Cape of Good hope. EXPERIENCED COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS modify Algorithm A by placing a known elephant in Cairo to ensure that the algorithm will terminate. ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMMERS prefer to execute Algorithm A on their hands and knees. DATABASE ADMINISTRATORS do not need to go out and capture elephants when they can retrieve them simply with an ad hoc query: STATISTICIANS hunt the first animal they see N times and call it an elephant.
Mother-in-law - welcome to the family I was happy. My girlfriend and me were dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing that bothering me, quite a lot indeed, and that was my mother-in-law to be. She was a career woman, smart, but most of all beautiful and sexy, who sometimes flirted with me, quite obviously too, and made me feel uncomfortable. One day, she called me and asked me to come over, to check the invitations. What could I say? So, she said, I'll go to the bedroom, and if you are up for it just come and get me. I just watched her delicious behind as she went up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, and then turned around and went to the front door... Her husband was standing outside, and with tears in his eyes, hugged me and said, we are very happy and pleased, you have passed our little test. Lesson learned: Always keep your condoms in your car.

Fascinating Lamps by Calabarte | Pondly Calabarte is the pseudonym of a Polish artist named Przemek Krawczynski, whose art takes on a peculiar but incredibly beautiful form: cool lamps. The name itself is a portmanteau of two words – art (obviously), and calabash, the fruit that carries his imagination. The calabash is a bottle gourd originating in India, although Calabarte gets his supply from Senegal. Due to ancient domestication and usage, the bottle gourd has an incredibly tough outer shell. In the past, the gourd’s usage was defined mostly as a water container, due to having a tough, smooth shell with an ergonomic shape for handling, and natural buoyancy on water. Nevertheless, it’s edible both raw and cooked, and used in various cuisines. Due to the combination of dark, thick material with a light source within, the primary art of his work, however, shines in the dark. When he’s not making cool lamps, Calabarte partakes in a number of physical activities, enjoying life through sports, travelling, and making music.

contemporary monkey // Quiet Party Quiet Parties (also known as Silent Parties and as Silent Dating parties) are nightclub events where participants socialize by writing notes to each other instead of speaking. The single rule at these events is "no talking." History[edit] The concept is believed to have been created in 2002 by artist Paul Rebhan and musician Tony Noe, two friends who visited several bars in New York City in an attempt to have a conversation, only to find they could not hear each other speak at any bar because of loud music and loud talking. This experience prompted them to invent the concept of 'silent nightclubbing'. The first Quiet Party probably occurred in October, 2002 in New York City, and spread to other cities including San Francisco, Washington, Houston, Paris, London, Berlin, Barcelona and Beijing. Quiet Parties arrived as one of the first of a new wave of unorthodox social activities of the early 2000s that merged elements of traditional party promotion with aspects of performance art.
