Teddies In Space

Peter Wells | December 9, 2008

The Lovely Justin just sent through this story of a bunch of teddy bears IN SPACE!!!

Cute as all hell. :)

To quote the Article,

University of Cambridge sent four teddy-bears into space this week as part of an initiative to engage local schoolchildren in science and engineering.

I don’t know whether the local kiddies were engaged, but it sure as hell engaged this adolescent 31 year old. :)

Guys Who Get It Part 4: Pegg, Frost and Wright

Justin Gibson | October 27, 2008

I had a very different post planned for the next part of this recently-inaugurated and probably endless Guys Who Get It series, but two things happened that changed my tack. First, the series was gleefully hijacked by Fearless Leader and President For Life of Fulltimecasual Peter Wells. The man’s a whirling dervish of blogging goodness, so now there’s this problem of the bar being raised. It’s getting like a man will have to think before he types or something. And I thought Pete understood the internet!

Second, I went a little ways out of town over the weekend to celebrate the 32nd birthday of a close friend by mercilessly shooting him in the back with a paintball gun. “Happy Birthday!” I cried as we left the battlefield. He left because I shot him, I left because I was so keen on shooting him that I stood in the open to do it and a teenager with terminator marksmanship skills and a reprehensible disrespect for his elders shot me in the face just after I did.

War is hell.

Paintball is one of those things that every man has either tried or has always thought about trying, and embarassing as it is considering my pacifistic tendencies and general horror of actual war, it turns out I have in me both a weekend warrior and an armchair general. Shame I’m such a crap soldier. If you’ve ever wanted to be in Predator, Private Ryan or the Dirty Dozen, then this is the game for you. If you haven’t, then, well… I just don’t know you.

So we’ve talked before - too much, really - about how great Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright are. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but this Guys Who Get It series cannot continue without their early inclusion. These particular Guys, they Get It… they really, really Get It. They lovingly parody pop-culture, mostly their favourite films and TV shows, while also expertly practising the very same techniques that they’re making fun of. There just isn’t high enough praise for them.

Don’t believe me? I give you Pegg, Frost and Wright taking on paintball.

Also, they have scientifically isolated the psychic connection between all males.

And, apologies for the quality of these uploads (it weren’t us!), but here are two bits of youtubery relating to one Mr. George Lucas - One and Two.

There is so much more where that came from.
