Monday is general malaise day for me. In between pretending to work and going out for lots of ciggies, it sometimes proves difficult to find anything interesting to post up on the blog. Thankfully someone else is on the ball, and PS3ZA member Dex, found this most awesome clip.
Nathan “Flutebox” Lee and Beardyman are two British men who take the art of beatboxing to a totally different level. This is a clip of their 18-minute performance at what seems to be the caferteria of the Google offices in London. Check it out.
I’ve never had to try very hard to get out of relationships. I was usually on the receiving end – “Thanks it was great, but my boyfriend will be back from his overseas trip” or “I knew I was drunk, but wow I must have been totally wasted. Now get out of my room!”. One time a girl broke up with me to hook up with her Spanish dance instructor – he would teach her how to dance and she would teach him how to speak English. It was short-lived though, as he gave her the clap. But I digress…
For the guys out there who want out of the tenuous relationships they are in, Dennis from welations.com shows 10 ways to lose a girlfriend (and 1 way to lose a guy).
I rarely do anything without reason. Just the other day, Lucy Furr and sister Muppet went to watch Sean Penn’s potrayal of gay rights activist Harvey Milk as he attempts to become the first openly gay man to be voted into major public office in the United States. Anyhow, that got me thinking – it’s been an age since I last posted anything about milk.
Russian photographer Andrey Razoomovsky has produced some risque photos involving milk as clothing for some pretty hot models. These photos are manipulated but to great effect. There are some exposed lady bits but I have censored them, so it’s safe for children.
French electro group Make The Girl Dance have released their new racy video for their hit single Baby, Baby, Baby.
It’s great if you like looking at streets and buildings in the city of Paris, or you like seeing naked women, or you have an insatiable appetite for black censorship bars. See there’s something in it for everyone. Hell it’s French, it’s sexy girls – how could I not post it? Also it’s Friday and I’m running on fumes. See the video below [NSFW].
It’s Friday and what better than to start it off with sex. And not just any run-of-the-mill sex, oh no, we’re talking AIR SEX! That’s right, come (oyi bad choice of word there) the month of June, several American cities will be hosting the this year’s Air Sex Championship where horny hopefuls take to the stage and simulate sweet and/or filthy sex with an invisible partner. Unsurprisingly air sex was first invented by those perennial weirdos, the Japanese.
Entrants can choose their own music and can get naked depending on the laws of the state they’re in. Food is usually served at these competitions, so orgasms have to be simulated.
Check out a clip of the Air Sex Championships at Fantastic Fest 2008. It’s like playing air guitar but with a happier ending ;-)
Lucy Furr brought topic of exorcism up at the dinner table. I would have given her my patented “WTF?” look but my face was happily buried in my food. She talked about listening to a recording of a russian exorcism and the horrific sounds that came with it. With my interest piqued, a quick google revealed the clip at About.com: Paranormal Phenomena.
In May 1st 2004, Eugene Safronov, an assistant to one of the exorcists in the Russian Orthodox Church, made a chilling recording of an actual exorcism that he bore witness to. A 16-year old girl is being held down in a chair by her mother whilst a priest stands over her reading the rite of exorcism. As he proceeds, the girl starts to struggle as if the priest’s words are burning her.
The girl struggles violently, her groans becoming inhuman howls and deep, guttural moans of psychological pain. Then she lashes out at the priest, and in a voice that seems not to be her own, spits words of defiance.
Toward the end of the recording, the girl, with an unearthly voice, shouts something in Russian at the priest. The translation, Eugene says, is, “I am not leaving her! I am not!”
Click play to listen to the extraordinary recording. WARNING: If you are easily upset or have a nervous disposition this may lead to a pants-shitting experience. I was fine as I had done a poo earlier.
That was pretty freaky. I’m off to my happy place now.

“Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon.” It’s with this unflinching quote from Rorschach that we happily announce another smashing competition here at Onelargeprawn.
Courtesy of local comic-book emporium Outer Limits, one lucky winner will walk away with the hardcover edition of one of the most influential graphic novels of all time, WATCHMEN! It’s an award-winning epic from writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons that recounts the fall from grace of costumed crime fighters in an alternate 1985 America. Tension between the USA and the Soviet Union is at an all-time high and it is against this backdrop that masked vigilante Rorschach and a ragtag group of superheroes attempt to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes.

Organized by the Festival de Cannes and in its fifth year, the Short Film Corner is a 10-day forum for short filmmakers from around the world to showcase their short films to potential buyers and festival programmers.
Reach is one such short film, and is one of 10 finalists in the National Film Board of Canada’s online competition at this year’s Short Film Corner. Created by Australian animator Luke Randall, Reach tells the story of a tiny robot who wants to experience the outside world but a limitation is holding it back. I don’t think I need to tell you about the symbolism here.
It’s wonderfully animated, check it out.
The films from all 10 finalists are on YouTube. Internet votes will decide the best film, so vote for your favourite. The winner will be announced May 21st, 2009.
It was a late night of drinking and driving (in Burnout Paradise before anyone decides to get the high horse out the stable). And I’m feeling pretty borken. Luckily I’m in the cubicle that time forgot, so being a non-starter is pretty easy. And I’ve been trying my hand at today’s time waster, Cubiq.
In this puzzle game, you need to connect all the lines on the blocks of the cube to each other. Clicking a block flips it around, and use the in-game controls or the arrow keys to rotate the cube. The music is so soothing it’s putting me to sleep. Apparently nobody has solved all 10 levels of the game – will you be the first one to do it?
Another caption contest has come to and end. This time we asked you to provide a caption for an image from Daniela Edburg’sDrop Dead Gorgeous series depicting how over-indulgence could lead to an untimely death. We’ve had a great response so thanks not only to everyone who submitted their captions, but the dear readers who visit and support the blog. Cheers! :heart:
Our illustrious (and often inebriated) panel of judges – myself, Lucy Furr, and my mistress from the feline world (Mummy cat) – have conferred and picked a winner. Could it be you? Hit the jump and find out!
