The Cabbage Patch

How in hell do they do that?

Hello World.

Another bunch of goods for you today, with not a speck of sanity between them.

• First-up, it’s those crazy Japanese again, with a video of yo-yo tricks. Just ignore the first 30-odd seconds of drunken Japanese teenage antics - it really is worth it to see what these kids can do.
• Next, it’s a video from the Red vs. Blue guys, teaching you the differences between the Internet and Real-Life. If you have not heard of Red vs. Blue before, they make movies using the X-Box game, Halo.
• Seen the movie I, Robot? Well check out the trailer for what it was going to be like. Aye, Robot.
• Fans of Triple J’s Hack program will most likely have heard these before, but if not, here they are. The closet recordings of Alan Jones. WARNING: A very big bad language warning on these. That Alan Jones could swear the pants off a sailor (and probably enjoy it).

Well that’s it from me for now. Remember to sign the guestbook if you haven’t already done so, leave any comment you want using the link at the bottom of the post, or send your suggestions to orrible.cabbage@gmail.com

PS. Shortly after I initially posted this, I found this. Could someone please tell me why this exists.

WARNING: Gay man in shiny suit!

• First up, this is a video from CNN in America. It is a segment from a “debate show” in which two hosts, each from opposite sides of politics, argue about stuff and talk to people. In this segment they have a special guest, comedian Jon Stewart, who has quite the argument with one of the presenters. Funny stuff. (Simply choose your download speed from the list to watch)
• This is just a quick video of a magic trick with cards. It’s pretty cool. (And don’t worry, you’re not going crazy, that guy is speaking French)
• This is a really bizarre movie of a Japanese kid playing one of those strange music arcade machines. Mozart he is not, but he’s pretty damn good.
• And lastly, my favourite video of the moment. It is a clip from the American version of Who’s Line is it Anyway?, an improv sketch show. In this episode, the actors are helped out by a special guest appearance by Richard Simmons. Don’t know who Richard Simmons is? He’s the shiny one.

Wow! New feature!

I agree.

Politics, shmolitics…

Hello World.

A faithful reader has requested these items be posted on here today, and I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree.

The first is a satirical advertisement starring Will Ferrel from Saturday Night Live and Old School. It is called White House West (Warning, the previous link is to a high-quality QuickTime version of the movie. Dial-Up users or others who may want a different version should use this link and choose from the list).

This other is a little closer to home. It is a quick little game on www.andrewwilkie.org, the website of Greens candidate Andrew Wilkie, who in the recent Australian election ran against John Howard in his seat of Bennelong (unfortunately he lost). Play the game here.

Thank you for those suggestions and I am always willing to publish any others, so keep them coming!

I’m Back!

• A tough game called Reverse, where you must use your mouse to navigate a square through the level - but with one twist - your mouse is reversed! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
• Another tough one where you must drive a car through a maze.
• A strange game involving lots of quick clicking.
• And my favourite game of the moment, bizarrely titled Not Pron. As this game is very difficult and relies on your problem solving skills, I’ll leave it up to you to work out what to do.

• A very funny movie where a guy with a camera decides to interview people at an anime convention. Seen Trekkies? This is worse.
• A page about the time Pizza Hut asked the band Ween to make their new ads. Read the text then listen to both clips in order. Funny stuff.
• And last but not least, this is what happens when crazy American girls are allowed to play god. I’m so glad it’s only a game.
