Ode to ElegantDGenerate

This is all that remains of the removed blogs of Cam Version 1 (version 2, check this out).

lest we forget camdensblogv1, it is amazing how so many of these are still relevant in the present day. Camdensblogv1 was certainly ahead of its time.

Revised Tourism Advertising Campaign

"Where the bloody hell are ya", is the phrase in a new tourism advertising campaign causing a brouhaha. Used by a hot girl so that they can claim that it's not only massive bogans that use this kind of talk. ...

After Inner Enlightenment?
22 Feb 2006 by phatcam

The path to inner enlightenment almost certainly involves frequent hard drug use. The chance to have God talk back to you during prayer is a fairly large draw card for a religion and if the beatles happen to make an appearance in their ...

Chuntometer Widget Update

v1.0.4 is now available

Nick leaves Wednesday, so expect a rising chuntometer level very soon.

"Sumo Kenko Taiso" - Sumo health exercises

"In a severe natural environment, human beings trod the land, persevered and survived, and over time came to walk up right on two feet, behavior which is not seen among other animals. At the same time, humans took on the burden of balancing themselves in an unstable upright posture."

Sounds like the contents of a SPAM email crossed with a David Attenborough documentary you say? Wrong... maybe the next image will explain it all:

Still not sure what it is about? It is a serious attempt by the Official Grand Sumo Federation to improve people's health. It is no surprise then that this guy is thought of by the same people as "The leonardo DiCaprio of Sumo", and this guy is the "David Beckham of Sumo".
Maybe the Australian obesity epidemic could be improved by following these exercises.
This is a standard Japanese thing to do: have an 8-step instruction set for waving your arms. I'm not quite sure how this can be applied to everyday life however. I'm not sure how often in the future I will have the need to "express the wrestler's promise to fight fairly and cleanly". I guess I could talk to the other members of my basketball team and organise that we do this together before a game- our version of the New Zealand All-Blacks' Haka maybe.
Of course Standing on one leg improves balance....IF YOU WEIGH 150kgs!

I could continue commenting for hours on this, but that's where I'll leave it.

Don't work out too long or hard, we don't want you to lose that sumo figure.

The Coolest Guy: Nominee 1

'The Coolest Guy' is a quest I have to trawl the web for the coolest people in the world. Many people would think Hollywood is a good location to start looking, or our sports stars, and that is fair enough. However, here at LeBlogMac, we believe that it is those unsung heroes who deserve recognition. People who believe they are cool but haven't achieved appropriate prestige.

Nominee 1: (rumoured to be a pseudonym Nick Parkin uses)

He wins the first nomination for several reasons.
1. The photo would have been enough to get him in, I especially like the addition of sunglasses to the outfit- I had never realised that the 'Dark Side' was so named because they wore sunnies indoors.
2. His wonderful combination of Old Country music with Techno makes him a hit with the ladies.... =cool.
3. I am not religious by any means, but as far as I know, Jesus Christ always was, as he put it "pro-light" i.e. a big supporter of the light-saber making industry. So dedicating the business to Christ makes so much sense that he must be our first nomination for The Coolest Guy.

MASTER PARKS

Master Parks AKA: Jeffrey A. Parks

Favorite Music	Nat'l Public Radio, Blues, Old Country, Techno
Goal	To be the best Lightsaber Designer in the world.

Faith	Jesus Christ is my professed Lord and Savior. Through God's love, Christ's sacrafice, and the power of the Holy Spirit, I have been redeemed.
"Because of God's love and power, I dedicate the efforts of this business toward the glorification of Christ."

Chuntometer Widget v1.0.2

Those who know Nick Parkin are aware of his knack of getting sick frequently and in more interesting, exciting ways. You know that he has been overseas and every week obtained a new disease that was previously only found in hamsters (you do the math). You have heard his many stories that begin with "So I decided to eat this dirty curry...". And those who didn't know, now do.

The next step is to download the latest version of the widget (link fixed) I made to make the process of knowing how sick he is at any point in time that little bit easier. All you need to do is download the yahoo widget engine and install it. The widget will do the rest- update you every 30mins with an artist's impression of his latest sickness status, and a description of what he is feeling.

There will be more updates to come- it is a bit ugly at the moment but the engine behind it is working pretty well.

The melodic sounds of.....

The Cat Piano!

Athanasius Kircher first described the cat piano in his landmark 1650 work Musurgia Universalis.

In order to raise the spirits of an Italian prince burdened by the cares of his position, a musician created for him a cat piano. The musician selected cats whose natural voices were at different pitches and arranged them in cages side by side, so that when a key on the piano was depressed, a mechanism drove a sharp spike into the appropriate cat’s tail. The result was a melody of meows that became more vigorous as the cats became more desperate. Who could not help but laugh at such music? Thus was the prince raised from his melancholy.

I reckon this sort of piano would be the best possible medium for The Blue Danube Waltz (lalalalala...lala...lala if you don't know it- It is in 2001: space odyssey or for the more sophisticated of you, on the simpsons when homer's in space eating chips). I can just imagine it now, meow meow meow meow meow.....meow meow.....meow reeeeaaaaaaoooowww (have an extra long spike on one of them... or maybe just an extra crazy cat). Also anything by the Pussy Cat dolls would be nice.

Any other suggestions of music the cat piano should play?

Nintendo

This website is experiencing heavy traffic due to digg.com users, so I'll just add some of the images here. Man, I wish I was cool enough to have a nintendo, my parents wouldn't buy one for me. So I didn't have the device itself, let alone all the accessories- this stuff is awesome!

Puns

Why is it that we enjoy puns so much?

So bad they are hilarious ideas for T-shirts:

1. I KNEAD you (a heart with a slice of bread in it)
2. That's my MANE, don't wear it out (Proud lion)
3. Birds: They wing it!
   

They run the cycle- Initial laugh...wow that's bad...so bad it's funny...i'm laughing again...how bad am i that i laugh at that...wow that's bad...
