Rémi Gaillard, the ultimate artist of annoyance!

admin January 28th, 2008

I know, there are some people who can be annoying, sometimes. Heck, I recognize that even *I* can be a little irritating sometimes, I think that comes naturally with being human. However, there are certain individuals with such a highly developed skill of irritating everyone around them, that such people can easily be referred to as artists of the annoyance. It’s true, I’m talking about people who genuinely make a living by doing nothing but pissing off everyone around them! How’s that for a career?

I’ve presented you to some of these people in the past - much to your annoyed delight, I hope - and today I’ll introduce you to a real heavy-weight champion from the french-most corners of Europe. Yes I know french people tend to be naturally irritating (excuse me but it’s true, I think it’s something to do with your language); however, Gaillard is a force to be reckoned with, and irritated by. So without further due, just check out the following videos - and excuse me if my exposition was somewhat annoying. Just think that if I’d written in French, it would probably be even more so.

If you enjoyed these samples and feel like you can bear with more of this peculiar european flair, then you should check out Rémi Gaillard’s official website, to watch the “fool” collection. :)

Viva las vegas, but make sure to pay hotel in advance!

admin January 26th, 2008

elvis las vegas

“Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money thats ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
Theres a thousand pretty women waitin out there
And theyre all livin devil may care
And Im just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas”

Word, Elvis: you sure seem to know what you’re talking about! Now, if you’re looking for a place to stay in the gaudy electric bright light city, you may want to consider hotels Las Vegas. Now, for a word of advice: always check in the hotel and pay in advance, before you embark on a mad gambling spree. After all, sleeping out on the cold tends to get you down, especially after you’ve wasted all your cash in the casinos.

Are you a lazy person? Blame it on the mattress!

admin January 25th, 2008

Now, don’t you assume I’m being judgemental, here: I’m a thoroughly lazy person myself, and I’m not shy about admitting it, either. Consequently, my expertise is not to be taken lightly on this matter, because I’ve long pondered the implications sustaining the following claim, which could easily become an essential an axiom for explaning modern procrastination:

blame it on the mattress

 -Blame it on the mattress.

If they really expected us modern citizens of the world to work harder and be active and productive and whatnot, why in the hell would they keep making more sophisticated mattresses? That makes no sense to me, and it seems we were better off in the good old Dark ages! Now, those were the days…

bed of nails

It certainly appears the higher powers intend to make us all into a breed of procrastinators, and I’m beginning to suspect there may be some kind of a sinister conspiracy afoot, involving reptilians, politicians, and possibly the Bigfoot. So

…. uh, stay tuned for more of this! I guess. Unless *they* come for me first, for disturbing widespread procrastination with this horrid creative and thought-provoking post.

A tribute to latex gloves, the uncanny condom for the hand!

admin January 24th, 2008

Have you ever considered how those latex rubber gloves should be praised as condoms for the hand? In fact, that’s pretty much what they really are, so I’m thinking everyone should start carrying a rubber glove in their wallet. Let’s face it, disposable glovesare useful in a huge diversity of applications, from washing dishes to vacuuming or dealing with all sorts of disgusting stuff. Not only that, they’re particularly useful in Halloween, to help you come up with insane super-hero costumes. Also, you can create glove-like multiple slingshots, and who knows? Inflate them into really strange balloons! It’s true… rubber gloves have a good potential of keeping your hands absolutely clean, while improving your life for the better! Particularly if you’re a total paranoid hypochondriac who is afraid of touching your surroundings with bare hands!

 Now that I think of it, one of the huge problems in the world might be about people wearing the right gloves in the wrong occasions. Either that, or it could be people who are afraid of reaching out and touching the world with their bare hands. Can I be delirious? Maybe I’ve touched something I shouldn’t have! Better just slip in a pair of rubber gloves… just in case.

Keep your storage stocked for some bric-a-brac!

admin January 24th, 2008

A tool is a fascinating thing, because it can be both good or bad, depending on how one uses it. Not only that, it’s always good when you’re looking for a specific tool and you easily find in your cabinets, and it’s always bad when you keep looking for tools which apparently vanish when you need them the most. So, if you’re looking for a convenient way to replenish your tool storage, you might want to consider the benefits of online shopping for home improvements. How’s that for a public service announcement? Hopefully you’ll remember my sound advice when you find yourself looking for stray tools!

Also, here’s a nice video to get you in the mood for some bric-a-brac:

Think smart! High-tech watch or just a plain Rolex?

admin January 24th, 2008

rolex watch

A man is at Grand Central Station waiting for his train that leaves at 6 p.m., but he has forgotten his watch. So he looks for someone to ask the time. He spots a guy carrying two suitcases and sporting this fabulous hi-tech watch, so he asks him for the time.

The guy replies “Sure, which country?”

The fella asks, “How many countries have you got?” to which the man replies, “All the countries in the world!”

“Wow! That’s a pretty cool watch you’ve got there.”

“That’s nothing,” the man says. “This watch also has a GPS facility, fax, e-mail and can even receive NTSC television channels and display them on its miniature active color pixel LCD screen!”

“Boy, that’s incredible. I wish I had a watch like that one. You wouldn’t consider selling it by any chance?”

“Well, actually the novelty has worn off for me, so for $900, if you want it, it’s yours.”

The watchless traveler can hardly whip out his checkbook fast enough to hand over a check for $900.

The seller takes off the watch and gives it to him. “Congratulations, here is you new hi-tech watch.” Then, handing the two suitcases over as well, he says, “And here are the batteries.”

Which goes to say…. no point in wearing high-tech gadgets when you’re merely interested in knowing what time it is. Check out the Rolex Datejust, for a good example of a nice classical watch. Also, for more time jokes check here!

admin January 23rd, 2008

Sometimes, getting a decent logo can be a pain in the ass - and also an expensive one, at that. You’ll often have to either deal with cheap irresponsible basement designers with no real skills, or with prima-donna designers with terrible attitudes and poor business sense, who will charge outrageous amounts of cash, and quite possibly you’ll end up with a logo you’re not really that happy with.

Head out towards the caribbean and become a pirate and/or a castaway.

admin January 23rd, 2008

Too much stress, too much pressure, too much too much. Once again, I realize a familar sensation is surfacing upon my chest. I’m getting that old feeling where I’m compelled to leave my grown-up sand castles (i.e. responsibilities) behind and just leave towards uncharted beaches… shimmering golden beaches of the unknown. Sometimes I feel like selling all my stuff and backpacking my way into oblivion…. or perhaps signing up for a grand royal caribbean cruise, and then hang aroud until I find a nice peaceful cottage where I could leisurely spend the rest of my fading youth, well into my gray-headed, long bearded demise.

 Now, don’t get me wrong… The reason I don’t actually succumb this kind of impulse and get away from where I’m at right now is because I’m pretty sure I’d eventually get tired, no matter how lovely a place I would drift towards. And I certainly don’t want to be a drifter all my life, I’d rather be a genuine seeker. Ain’t no point in running away from your shadow, you might as well learn to cope with the darker side of life, and with yourself. So what, if life is not perfect? So what, if I’m not as rich and successful as I know I could be? That’s just a technicality as far as I’m concerned, and I’ll make sure to keep track of my own destiny… for better or worse. This just goes to say, If I ever go to the Caribbean, I’ll make sure I’m not merely running away from a state of mind, otherwise I’ll never really get anywhere interesting. Also, I’ll make sure I don’t become a pirate or a castaway, I guess.
