Cardboard Dreams and Speed Demons

These are the sites that our editors are so enamored with (for good or bad) that we share amongst ourselves. Now we have decided to share with you…

It finally broke. The sun is out, the air is warm, and the birds are singing in the trees. And dammit, wouldn’t you know all the fine folks that sit inside and pass around cool stuff on the internet have pretty much disappeared. But not to worry, I still have a few gems for this installment of the tubes!

Is there anything cooler than primates? Nepotism is of course a factor, but I really cannot think of a cooler set of creatures. And this time we have two examples of ridiculous primate behavior. As is usual with the animal videos in this series, if you don’t like what you see, head on back to the second Plucked from the Tubes and contact the fine folks who do something about it. Complaining to me is pointless.

I shudder to think what would be possible if I had a monkey sidekick who not only could ride a motorcycle, but fully understood traffic patterns.

Speed Demon

In case you think primates only do stupid shit when a human teaches them, I present the following. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.

…a tiger by the tail…

Cardboard Dreams

I could probably do some research, and some translation to find out (and thereby inform you, the reader) as to why these fine French folks decided to make a cardboard stop-motion animation remake of the Light Cycle scene from Tron.

But why bother… You are already interested enough to click the link. Right?

Wheeeeeeeee

Aside… Someone fund them to do the rest of the film please.

Dude, do you want to watch Point Break?

Neither do I. But even if the urge to torture myself comes up, I don’t want to have to go to the video store and pay some clerk $5 to do so. That’s where this site comes in. They have a bunch of full length (and some clips, highlights, and trailers of) feature films.

And they have some that are much better than Point Break. I promise.

So like I said, the well has been dangerously close to dry. So if you have any great sites, clips, or time wasters, send them on over. We’ll keep this party going all summer long.

Chris Nopper actually did pull his bike out of storage. He gave it a good washing. He left it in the sun to dry. And once dry, he put it right back into the garage and went to get ice cream. He does things like that.
