Adventures in Blogfoolery

As the serene mountains of Colorado are invaded by a truly motley crew of ATLiens this weekend, I can’t help but ponder the ramifications of their epic cross-country adventure.  Think about what is happening…a bachelor party, a handful of bourbon-soaked Kentuckians, a rat-pack of Atlanta’s Buckhead-elite/Eastsiders/Westsiders and even a few “locals” will converge for a weekend of craft beers, winter sports and a LOT of altitude sickness. 

While sitting here in my cube, mired in an expansive Excel model, I came across this truly awe-inspiring trailer for a snowboarding film set to release this fall.  Check it out, but for all of you carving it up this weekend, don’t use the awesomeness of this video to get any crazy ideas.  If you find yourself grinding on any lift wires or nearing the highest tip of a pine tree, make a mental note of the closest aid station and prepare yourself for an incredibly painful wipeout because your situation will not have come by choice.

Ever read anything that was so grammitically incorrect that it made you laugh?  Well, this video takes that hilarity to a whole new level.   Watch as this video dramatically re-creates a computer game review written by a 13 year old gamer who is less than impressed.  Needless to say, this kid most likely went down in flames in his school’s spelling bee.

ALL YOU DO IS HIT THE SPACEBAR!!

“Make sure about 2:00 is what you want otherwise you’re gonna have too many people flocking around it and then the bleach is gonna get all poured out and spilled…and make sure to take Grandpa’s advice, he never liked the color blue anyway”

Always remember, looks can be deceiving.  Somebody needs to hire this guy.

Check out this montage of 270 movies that were released this past year.  These mash ups generally amaze me and this one definitely doesn’t disappoint.

Also, in case you were wondering, here is the link to the Google doc to see all of the movies in order of appearance.

Sure, it’s Monday, which means you’re probably experiencing at least a tiny bit of difficulty getting ready for the work week ahead.  Fortunately, I’ve got just the solution for you.  Plug your headphones in and let Pogo’s trip-hop mix-ups of some classic Disney movies get your mind right for another weekly grind.  Productivity is sure to follow.

Check out more of Pogo’s amazing mixes at http://www.pogomix.net or on his Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/Fagottron#p/u/8/65PiKsNhCsc.

People are awesome and are capable of amazing things.  That’s all.

When did being in the chorus become awesome?  Remember, back in the day, getting out of class to go to one of your school’s “assemblies” to watch the chorus perform a few numbers?  It was great to break up the monotony of your average school day but they were about as entertaining as listening to “The Wheels on the Bus” or some monotone church song ever could be.  Now imagine hearing that same chorus singing one of these songs.  The director of this chorus should be awarded a medal of some sort.

This has to be the closest I’ve ever seen anyone come to actually flying.  Jeb Corliss has proven himself to be a revolutionary in the field of “Doing Crazy Stuff You Only Dream About”.  In this video, he literally comes no more than a few feet from certain death on more than a few occasions yet somehow manages to steer his wingsuit with ridiculous precision.  The most depressing part about this whole thing is that he gets paid to do it.  What do you get paid to do?

Hide yo husbands, hide yo kids…Blogfoolery is back. 

Once again, I’ve experienced a longer than anticipated hiatus from this blog.  My bad guys…my bad.  Since Halloween is just around the corner, below is a link to the inaugural Adventures in Blogfoolery post.  Enjoy.
