The Cabbage Patch

Kiss a llama on the llama!

• This is a French comedian who often performs Jackass-style stunts for television. This is a montage of some of his stunts called Rocky is Back, set of course to Eye of the Tiger from the film Rocky.
• A nifty little game called Mep Ball!
• A musical animation made entirely with the default windows noises. Quite impressive.
• And…. The Llama Song!!!!!

• A jiffy is actually a unit of time, 1/100 sec. (ie, really, really quick). This means that if you say you will be “back in a jiffy”, you aren’t giving yourself very much time.

Welcome ta Tha Cabbage P-to-tha-izzatch.

Hello World.

Well, now that my holiday is over, it’s back to the old routine of funny and interesting stuff to whittle the hours away.

• First up we have some interesting digitally coloured WW1 photos. Quite interesting indeed.
• This is a fun toy to play with if you have a digital camera. Load in a photo of your face, and this will morph your face into different styles. This will make you Asian, Afro-Caribbean, Caucasian, Manga, old, young, and many more. Try it out.
• Heard the song “Lotion” by The Greenskeepers? It’s the one that uses the lines from Silence of the Lambs. Well here is the slightly freaky video clip.
• This is a very funny video of “Triumph The Insult Comic Dog” from the Conan O’Brian Show over in the States. In this, Triumph visits some Star Wars nerds as they wait to go see the new movie.
• Here is an addictive little game where you control a canon wielding penguin. Why? I have no idea.
• Fo all yo beotches who wanna find shiznit. That’s the slogan for Gizoogle, a pimped up version of Google. This is my favourite site ever at the moment. I especially like Translizzle Some Text. This page translates anything you type into Snoop Dogg type language. Quite hilarious.
• Here is some guy playing the Super Mario Bros theme on electric guitar. For no apparent reason.
• And here’s another guy doing fancy tricks with glass balls. Kind of like David Bowie in Labyrinth.

That’s it for today. As always, leave a comment, sign the guestbook or email me at orrible.cabbage@gmail.com . I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom from Gizoogle:

Aint no killin’ everybody’s chillin’.

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.

Hello World.

Well, I’m back! Yes, I’m back from my perilous journey through the untamed wilderness of the US of A. Just in case you’re wondering, I did get back a few days ago - but I have been having problems preparing all of the photos and whatnot to post up here.

Anywho, my trip was great. We went to Los Angeles, Disneyland, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and a whole lot of other places.

We took over 300 photos during this trip, but I am only going to post a handful. Click on any link to see the photo.

Our first stop was a few days in Anaheim, where Disneyland is. Here is an interactive panorama of Disneyland’s California Adventure Park (the new bit of Disneyland). During our stay in Anaheim we also did a tour of Los Angeles, including Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Along Hollywood Boulevard, we passed idiots dressed as Spiderman and Elvis. It was weird. We also spent some time at Universal Studios, where we saw and entirely fake street and an equally fake flooded Mexican village. The scary thing was that just a week before we were there, there were real floods throughout the area.

After all that we continued on to Las Vegas. I tell you, there really is no other place like it on Earth - a fact that we should be proud of. We actually stayed in Vegas twice - once to see the sights, then again for one night on our way back from The Grand Canyon. For the first few nights we stayed in a hotel called Circus Circus, where they have an indoor theme park and live, round-the-clock circus acts. Along The Strip, as Las Vegas Blvd is often called, we saw the dancing fountain at The Bellagio, the indoor canals in The Venetian, the zoo (complete with tigers, lions and elephant) in The Mirage, the spiral escalators in Caesar’s Palace, the world’s longest video roof at The Fremont Experience and The Blue Man Group in the Luxor. On our return, we stayed at Paris Las Vegas, which is - not surprisingly - a Paris themed hotel. The Paris included a 1/3 scale Eiffel Tower and an indoor Parisian boulevard. I just have one word for Las Vegas - WOW!

After the general insanity of Las Vegas, we headed for the much quieter Grand Canyon. Here is another interactive panorama.

We then spent a few days in San Francisco and did a tour of Alcatraz, before continuing on to Yosemite national park. Here is a picture of me looking like an idiot in snow for the first time.

After Yosemite, we headed down the Big Sur coast on our way back to LA. In one area of this coast is an estate known as Hearst Castle. Hearst Castle was a house built by William Randolph Hearst, the Rupert Murdoch of the 1920s and ’30s. It is huge. I mean it is enormous. This is the outdoor swimming pool, complete with authentic ancient Greek pillars. Here are the two bell towers, which were each built twice. These are authentic ancient Egyptian statues - yes, 3000 year-old statues IN THE BACK YARD! Oh, and this is the indoor pool - complete with tiles made of pure gold and Venetian glass.

From there it was back to LA to catch the flight back home - where I am now.

Thank you for sticking with the site during my brief period of non-postingness. I will be back tomorrow with the good ol’ funny linkage.
