Mundane Ramblings about kids, dogs, news and technology.

Mallakhamb means Thighs of Granite

Let me say without doubt that you will never forget seeing this video.  It's called Mallakhamb, and it's Indian pole gymnastics, and it also makes regular gymnastics look like a slumber party.  No man can watch this without cringing.  Wired has the goods.

Cripes, that looks painful.  Painfully impressive.

Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty

As God is my witness, my grandmother told me this story, just like this.

Also, I lie a lot.  Sorry God.

I think I will be trying this style of story telling out on the boys tonight, I will let you know how it all works out.

Good Gravy, Old Spice Guy Wins at Everything

Not content to just make the most memorable ads in recent memory that I can memorize or write a memo about, Old Spice Guy has been busy filming direct responses to people on Twitter, and the interwebs at large.  There are too many to link to directly, but the Old Spice channel on YouTube has them, and man are they funny.

And his goodbye to his legions of adoring fans:

This is the most amazing bit of marketing I have ever seen.  The cost of doing this probably wasn't even that much, but they probably had to have a team of writers to keep the quips coming.  Brilliant work, you can't deny the wonderful creativity behind this campaign.

New Old Spice? Yes Please.

Amazing, and still hilarious.

In case this means nothing, refer to this.
