Happy Halloween In The Room Where You Sleep

Its been about a year and I still can't get over this band... This is Dead Man's Bones. And yes, the lead singer looks familiar, because he is Ryan Gosling, the actor. And with him is his choir of little people, or children, dressed in halloween costumes. Damn, I wish I was that cool as a kid. Anyways, watch and admire and also kick yourself if you are a musician that you did not come up with this first. Truly ingenius.

What's Your Lekker Flavour?

So, earlier this year we had to do a short video clip for one of our clients. We had to walk around and ask people what flavour chips they would like if they could choose any flavour imaginable. Obviously there were the lame answers like 'steak and beef', 'steak and chips', 'hamburger and chips' etc. (like that is totally original) But every now and again you meet people with interesting ideas, like these two construction workers at the Rosebank mall. (Unfortunately I cannot remember their names)

I can truly say though that they were the most original out of everyone we interviewed. They invented the concept of ganja flavoured chips. Hmmm. Not sure how well that will sell, especially in schools... it will maybe be a hit on street corners... but A for effort guys! And also, they had brilliant smiles. I took this picture so you could see. Obviously they did not make the cut for the edit, because of the content being slightly frowned upon, but who cares. They were by far the most interesting people we met that day.

Best. Costume. Ever.

Halloween. The time of year where parents convince their little boys to dress like little girls. And their little girls to dress like whores. (This was my friend Coenie's status on Facebook - I love it, thanks Coenie)

I can't wait until my sister's kid is big enough so I can dress her up like this for Halloween. Or female Chucky or something...

Also, I would like to buy these shirts. The first one as a present for some people and the second for myself. And also as a present for some people. Actually, they should just start selling these at every major event at about 01:00 in the morning. It would save a lot of people a lot of embarrassment and explaining the next day. They can even sell them where they sell the hotdogs... cause you know when you go to buy a hotdog, it's that time of night...

Well then, i think I just found a way to fund by December holiday... shirts anyone? Find me by the hotdog stand. I'll be the person who is not tagged in any embarrassing moments on the internet. Use it, don't use it. Just saying. (But seriously, meet me by the hotdog stand. The code word is 'ketchup' )

Fun Times

So here is a sneak peak of the Velocity Party. What can I say? Photo booths just brings out the fun in everyone. That, and open bars and fresh ocean air, a view over camps bay, red and white stripes, mickey mouse ears, over sized bows, pirate tattoos... the list goes on, but i'm stopping here.

Just sayin.

Lalala

This has for years been one of my pieces of film. I love everything about this - the location, the wardrobe, the lighting, the choreography, the way they compliment each other so beautifully and how he seems to play her like an instrument. The music, the timing etc. Too beautiful. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing...

Monday In Your Face

I told you we became increasingly lazy... this is our second post for the whole of October... oh well. I blame it on global warming. And alcohol. And the fact that I reached the quarter century mark. Or temporary insanity at least. Whatever. Who cares...

On a completely different note, here is our current form of amusement... (FYI:Free wifi at home just never gets old). At the moment we are sitting in different rooms of the same house, searching for the funniest moments in the life of Dwight K. Schrute. (Or as he describes himself: D.W.I.G.H.T – Determined, Worker, Intense, Good worker, Hard worker, Terrific) And how funny!? He cracks us both up. Read this and laugh at him. Like we do. Best way to start a Monday, I'd say.

Here are the top 20 quotes by this man. Enjoy.

When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had adsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.

I am faster than 80% of all snakes.

I don’t care what Jim says, that is not Benjamin Franklin. I am 99% sure.

I don’t believe you, continue.

Reject a woman, and she will never let it go. One of the many defects of their kind. Also, weak arms.

When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

The eyes are the groin of the head.

My feelings regenerate at twice the speed of a normal man

Before I do anything I ask myself “Would an idiot do that?” And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.

You know whats better than a triceratops. Only every other dinosaur that has ever existed.

Dolphins get a lot of good publicity for the drowning swimmers they push back to shore, but what you don’t hear about is the many people they push farther out to sea! Dolphins aren’t smart. They just like pushing things.

There are 40 rules all Schrute boys must learn by age 5. Rule #17- There are 3 things you never turn your back on- bears, men you have wronged, and a dominant male turkey during mating season

I train my major blood vessels to retract into my body on command. Also, I can retract my penis up into itself.

Question…

Would I ever leave this company? Look, I’m all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I’m being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly, I’m going wherever they value loyalty the most.

How would I describe myself? Three words: hard working, alpha male, jackhammer…merciless…insatiable…

I am fast. To give you a reference point I am somewhere between a snake and a mongoose…and a panther.

The problem, Jim, is that people who are really suffering from a medical condition won’t receive the care they need because someone in this office is coming up with ridiculous stuff. Count Choculitis….Why did you write that down, Jim? Is it because you know I love Count Chocula?

I grew up on a farm. I have seen animals having sex in every position imaginable. Goat on chicken. Chicken on goat. Couple of chickens doing a goat, couple of pigs watching.

Security in this office park is a joke. Last year I came to work with my spud-gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?

Meanwhile Back At The Ranch

Ok, it's been holiday on our side and our laziness levels have increased alarmingly. But before we lost all ambition to excel at life, we decided it would be a great idea to go do some travelling over the December holidays. And the winning destinations are... Belgium and Amsterdam!

Belgium and Amsterdam? Why would we want to go there during the coldest time of the year? And why Belgium? It's like that movie 'In Bruges' all over again. Honestly.

Well, we are going to visit some friends, see some sights, meet some people and just wing it. Maybe we'll even take a few photos...

For now here are some other things I found on the internet while researching something completely different. Hard to say where its from. Will have to come back to you on that. My favourite is the 'not so happy bird' salt and pepper shakers.
