"no real than you are"- How awesome is the giant lego man?

I'm completely fascinated with the phrase written on his giant chest. It's nonsense, but just close enough to having meaning that it's a tantalizing mystery. Or just fun nonsense. Or something. Whatever it is, I like it, and that's all that counts.

Regardless, you've got to love the giant Lego man in all his giant Lego glory. Just look at his head crushing talon about to destroy that poor Dutch woman.

I really want it to be some sort of Danish (Trojan) Horse. I'm not exactly sure which way the currents run up there, so who knows it that's even possible, but I love the idea.

Here's some Youtube video, if it were really a Danish invasion, this is where they'd jump out. Sadly, they don't :(

It's got something to do with this guy. What? I don't know as it's in a language I don't understand:

No real than you are

Here's a story on it:

Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message- At the end of a baseball bat.

I can't say I haven't had the urge- but damn!

Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message

On a narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington, where Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm, one man bought a flashy gray Hummer that was too massive to fit in his garage.

So he parked the seven-foot-tall behemoth on the street in front of his house and smiled politely when his eco-friendly neighbors looked on in disapproval at his "dream car."

It lasted five days on the street before two masked men took a bat to every window, a knife to each 38-inch tire and scratched into the body: "FOR THE ENVIRON."

Andre The Giant…

was the "the Mount Everest of inebriation"

Click that link for an article outlining Andre the Giant's prowess as a drinker. The numbers will boggle your freakin' mind. I give you one to tease:

All kinds of awesome.

"Over a thousand race fans showed up today for the 7th annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel race down San Francisco’s Lombard Street, you know, the really crooked one. There were total of four runs down the hill with what must have been close to hundred racers, many with absurd outfits, trying to make it to the bottom of the hill on their plastic-wheeled vehicles. Here are the photos I shot of the big wheel chaos."

Plenty of photos and videos at the link:

Looks like fun. Aside from being famously crooked, Lombard St. is ludicrously steep, so going like hellbats is pretty much a given. Even walking up it just doesn't seem right the angle is so perverse. Going down it on anything with wheels would be fun and trying to maneuver a big wheel would be forty-five shades of hectic.

Homeland Security Classifies TRON as "sensitive"

Can this be real? It's got to be a joke, surely.

"Reports are emerging from members of the movie industry that the Department of Homeland Security has designated the 1982 film TRON as "sensitive", and ordered Walt Disney Studios to turn over all copies of the film in its posession. Retailers are also receiving notices to remove all copies of the film from stock shelves and turn them over to Federal officials. The reports have industry insiders bewildered and outraged."
