Since I find the act of placing some glasses on a dog to have somewhat amusing results, I bought the domain 'dogspectacle.com' a few years back.
I've paid for the domain each year with the intention to do something with it (or sell it to someone that really wanted it). So, after the success of various sites like Lamebook, DamnYouAutoCorrect and that other LOL-cat site, I spent a day setting up a Flickr group and a blog.
Part of me feels dirty, like I've just set up the Internet equivalent of a pyramid scheme. Another part of me is just curious to see how/if sites like this go viral and can make any money overnight (or over-month).
So, I'm going to work on improving the submissions process for photos (instead of just using Flickr) and see how this goes. In the meantime, let me introduce to you...
My mate Jhon Cosgrove (the guy that looks like Sideshow Bob) and his mates have finally got around to publishing the first episode of their TV show, and guess what? It's awesome.
I met a bloke on the weekend who worked for a tin foil company. He gave us 80m of it. I probably use less than 5m of tin foil a year, so I dressed up as someone from the future and jumped out of a bin.
Huh, Vikki linked me to the ToneMatrix(d) on Twitter. The first thing I did was draw a big cock. It sounded good - and then I noticed the coments on the left. I'm so childish, I just had to screenshot it.
Why just yesterday rendell was telling me of how a police officer gave chase to a criminal only to be attacked in the eye by a tree. Yes, a tree! The offending tree shot one of it's sticks right through his eye. Disgusting, eh?
Foolish me thought this was an eye-solated incident, but oh, how wrong I was!
Tonight I was walking home, carrying my shopping and minding my own business when... "Oh no, my hat? My hat has gone! Where has my hat gone?", I wondered, only to turn around to see it hanging from the branch of a tree!
"Oh my, that's funny." I laughed to myself, "The tree - it's stolen my hat."
I set my shopping down on the floor and took a few paces back in the direction I'd came from to fetch my hat from the tree. It was caught there, so I tugged on the hat to free it from the grasp of the branches and then - WHACK! - it hit me! The tree - it fucking just hit me!
"What the fuck?!", I exclaimed as I stood there in the middle of the street, currently being attacked by a tree, in no other place than IN THE EYE! "This is the sort of stuff you see in slapstick comedies," I thought to myself as my eye began to sting like a bastard.
Now, I was glad that it was dark and there wasn't anyone around to see such an embarrassing situation. And to be honest, I had trouble seeing it myself after the tree decided to sew it's seed of hate into my eye! It's still stinging and shedding tears of emotional trauma now, around two hours after the attack happened.
I'd just like to warn you though; be on your guard because the trees - they're attacking!
