Best Halloween Costume Ever

Yeah he may be scarred for life but it's probably worth it. I mean think how cool this kid will be in 16 years. Ok, he will probably be the emo kid but he shouldn't forget the good times .

The internet is awesome . . .

Just the other day I posted a video from Disney World that was filmed with a tilt-shift lens. Well through the magic of the internet, I found a site that will let you "tilt-shift" your own pictures. And it will let you upload up to a 6000 x 6000 resolution. So the D90's pictures are in play. And play I did. . .

EDIT: A long time reader of the blog brought up that something was missing from this post. The website for this. Here it is: http://tiltshiftmaker.com/ . Now you can tilt-shift your own pictures. Even the Timmy and Freddie gay porn ones.

Twins, Game 163!!1??

Here are a few pic's from the Twins' 163rd game. They really should figure out how to be in first place before the end of the season. Oh well, it makes for some good ball (that's what the cool kids call it).This is our view of the first pitch we saw (because we didn't exactly get to the game on time. It was a little tricky getting downtown and then finding a parking spot). And yeah, this is from the 10th row. Boosh.

The obligatory Joe Mauer pic. Did you know he's from Saint Paul?
I want to say that this was the game tying run by Cabrera but I'm not 100% sure. Hey, give me a break the game was last week (maybe I should have posted these pic's sooner then?)
Here is another pic of Cabrera. This time he is politely telling the ump that his momma wears combat boots (that may not have been his actually words).
Twins Win!!1
Some post-game celebration. If you want the complete game experience, play some New York, New York by Frank Sinatra and yell like you're being raped by Bigfoot (the mythical creature, not the monster truck (although that would probably hurt too)). And that would be like being there.
Mauer starting the victory lap around the Dome.
TC just cruising around trying to pick up some babes. And check out the tires on that thing. I wonder if they are specifically designed for driving on carpet. He'll have to switch those next year.

Tilt-Shifted Disney World

I've been trying to find a cool tilt-shift image or video to use on the blog for a while now (not actively searching, more just if I happened to find something). Why? Because it's the bomb. I don't really remember all the specifics about how this works and why but it basically makes everything look like a toy. And when you pair the tilt-shift lens with one of the DSLR cameras that also takes video, well you get something like this video. Could you imagine how cool the pictures from the Twins' 163 game would have been if I had something like this. Oh that's right, I haven't done a post with those pic's yet. I will though (even though the Twins are done, it was still a great game worthy of reliving).

Nice burnout bro!!1

Haha. . . that is all that needs to be said.


It was fun while it lasted. If you missed it, let me sum it up for you. Dude has a Dodge SRT-10 truck (probably new, just guessing. I didn't see the window sticker on it or anything but let's just figure its new) and some other dude has a video camera. So they decide to put the two together and make a sweet gay porn movie. After that they decided to film dude 1 do a sweet burnout. Which is fine until the back of the truck starts swinging out to the right. And then he drives into the ditch, which then flips his truck onto the roof. Camera man then say's "Fuck" a bunch of times. The end.

Things that make you go hmmm . . .

As I was waiting for an oil change, tire rotate, brake check, rotary girder check, muffler belt, and blinker fluid check at the friendly dealership tonight, I noticed something odd sitting on the display rack. Official Toyota Carburetor Cleaner. And this wasn't some old can leftover from when they sold cars with carbs. This was brand new looking. Which brings up this question, when was the last time Toyota sold a car that had a carburetor? And also, why would a person driving one of these cars actually go to a dealership to purchase this? It's a strange world out there folks (look whose talking).

Do you like fish dicks?

You must be a gay fish then. Yep the "Hollywood Insssider Rumor" Department is back open on the blog. After our friend Timma broke the news that Adam Lambert is gay, your ol' buddie (me) has more breaking news. Kanye West likes attention. Actually, I just wanted to use the gay fish bit to see if anyone (besides me) watches South Park anymore.

Straight Outta Compton (or Shakopee)

That's right, the home base is now located in Shakopee (shack o' pee?).  I believe it is indian (china men is not the preferred nomenclature (you know, from The Big Lebowski)) for "close to Mystic Lake". Ok, so it might not mean exactly that. But I can say for a fact that the Susinater and I are now living in Shakopee. Actually we have been moved in for a few days now but the cable guy just left, so we are officially connected back to the internet (oh and thanks to our neighbor that didn't have a secure wireless connection). Now we just have to get ready for our party out at Buck's place on Saturday. And if you don't know about it, shoot me a text, email, call, smoke signal, or even a comment here. If you show up, there is probably a good chance a picture of you will end up on the blog (how's that for incentive . . . not). As a public service reminder, beer's will be consumed after 4 (even though it says that the deal is from 2-4, the drunk party will start at 4). 

12.42 miles, 156 turns, and a 800hp Ford Fiesta

Yeah, the video is a little long at 9:04. But it's worth it. And click that HD button on the player. And turn up the sound too.

Back to the Fiddy's

So these pic's are from a month ago when Tim and I made the pilgrimage to the Minnesota holy land of hot rods, Back to the Fifty's. I won't bore you too much with my whining about most of the stuff out there (and besides I already did that a couple of posts ago). And hell, I only took 46 pictures. But some of the stuff going on in the pic's is worth noting. Like the first pic, this rad drag car (I think Tim said it was an actual drag car from the 70's (there was a sheet with the history on it, but I can't read or write so Tim read it) was just hanging out outside of the Women's bathroom. Which worked out well when I was waiting for Tim to go to the bathroom. Boosh. Then there is the puking chicken, which we found in the auction area. I think only one word could describe it, fuck. In the big yellow truck pic, it looks like someone is eyeballing Tim. He likes the way Tim poses. If you couldn't tell, we were noticing the trucks a little more than previous years. Not sure why, but they seemed to stand out a little more than the before. And how about the AMC intake setup, for only $975.
