Post date April 25, 2011

Thanks to the smattering of public holidays at this time, I’ve taken leave of my work (and my senses) and have decided to spend less time on the computer and more on doing things like going outside. We’ll resume our normal-ish transmission on the blog early next week. Until then, be cool and be safe.

I must tell you, writing this article has just made me incredibly hungry. I mean, just look at the header image and you’ll understand why.

The topic of discussion today is the South African pastime known as The Braai. If you’re an international reader, you’re probably wondering “What the heck is a Braai?” Well never fear, I’m here to not only tell you what a Braai is, but also shed some more light on the whole phenomenon.

Find out more after the jump.

It’s bordering on lunch time and I haven’t had much time to blog. Clearly a sign of being over-worked, no? If you’re shackled to your computer during your lunch break, here’s some light reading to keep you entertained.

The best horse impersonation ever!
Bible stories told in LEGO.
Take some acid, watch GREYCON4, and tell us what the hell is going on.
The trustworthiness of beards, an infographic. Hitler has ruined the most easy-to-maintain ‘stache for everyone.
Fuck yeah, it’s Drunk Day!
The Splice trailer is disturbing, may unsettle your stomach.
Everything you need to know about Doctor Who.
Amazing God of War 3 artwork.
A series of erotic figurines by American artist Jessica (probably NSFW).

The untimely demise of my Playstation 3 has altered my mood quite significantly this Monday morning. Shock has given way to denial, which in turn has led to guilt. I’m almost over the anger, so depression and acceptance are the only phases of grief that I am left to deal with. Whilst I contemplate these feelings, here’s a bunch of links for you to digest.

Some compelling and super-simple circular designs by Andy Awesome.
Movie posters for minimalists.
If bitten by a zombie, how long would you survive before getting infected? Let’s find out.
Learn how to diffuse an atomic bomb.
14 pimped out bikes.

After some server-type issues that left Onelargeprawn offline for several hours, I’m happy to say we’re back and ready to pollute the Intertubes once again. Apologies for the downtime, our normal programming will commence shortly.

As part of a company directive, I headed into the depths of Tygervalley for a sanctioned “social outing”. I’d tell you about it but it’s totally embarrassing; kinda like when you let slip a wet, stinky fart in a crowded elevator. That being said, here are some not so crappy links.

The 40 most violent comics ever.
The crow paradox.
More good, bad, and ugly tattoos.
The airbag prank. Funny or just retarded?
A pilot’s eye view of a three-day trip.
Marvel and Japan’s Madhouse team up to make Iron Man anime. Here’s the trailer.
The accidental video game porn archive.
Enter the disturning, surreal world of Muzorama.
OMG! Hat fail.
The best wedding entrance. Beware there are white people and they are dancing.
