[Weird] A nice name generator

in

I came across randome name generator. It allows you to generate name by choosing and "obscurity factor" !!!Examples of obscure names:

1. Isreal Ambrister
2. Gayle Delling
3. Nathanael Klebes
4. Zackary Borr
5. Arlie Molinini

Examples of non-obscure names:

1. Mark Hancock
2. Terry Strader
3. Jacob Beyer
4. Luis Havens
5. Jesse Butterfield

Behind the name is better: it allows you to choose categories like ambiguous gender, witch, bibical and dutch ! (result: jacob gillis)

[Weird] Royal Navy

in

I like British humor, read in the guardian:

It was reported gravely by the papers that carried the story, the Royal Navy would, for the first time in 300 years, have fewer surface ships than the French navy.(...) we still have more submarines than they do, so war with France remains an option, should a future Tory administration deem this appropriate.

It is not a comical paper at all in fact. It is just about the diminution of the number of ships in the UK...the British have been in retreat from the sea for generations.

[Weird] Mobog comments are amazing

in

Mobog display pictures sent by user of your camera-phone. What is great here, IMO, is not the variety of shitty picture, but rather the amazing comments made by viewers:

- nice tits...better than janet jackson
- go get the mailman!!!
- You could spear fish what that nose!!!
- steroids...no doubt
- I think this is one of the best non-chick pics I have seen on this site
- Now we know where that monster gets parked.
- AUTO-DETECT HAS DETECTED A VIRUS AT: http://www.smpsi.com/ TO AVOID A VIRUS, REFRAIN FROM VISITING THE LISTED URL.
- Requires olive oil to get into that outfit.

There is spam, anger, lust, critics...

Via le figaro, a propos des adeptes de la secte du mandarom:

Ils guettent, paraît-il, la réincarnation annoncée de leur seigneur, le défunt Gilbert Bourdin, alias Rhamsa Manarah, emporté il y a deux ans par un diabète après s'être autoproclamé «messie cosmoplanétaire» : grand pourfendeur, à coups de pétards, de milliards de mauvais esprits rôdant dans le coin sous la forme de «lémuriens» et d'«atlantes».

«On les voyait courir dans la neige avec leurs revolvers et canons en plastique et allumer des feux de Bengale pour repousser les lémuriens, se souviennent-ils. C'était surréaliste.»

Il semble qu'il existe un véritable bestiaire imaginaire de ces sectes. Entre les petits gris, les ummits, les elohims, les thétans et les lémuriens ! Il n'empêche que ces "lémuriens à fesses jaunes venus de l'espace" sont les plus funky.

[Weird] Prefab Life

in

People into prefab should look at fabprefab (no connection with fab though). I like the statement "Modernist prefab is still more of a meme than a marketplace" but it appears to be interesting and innovative to live in a prefab.

prefab = prefabricated This term is wide open to interpretation. prefab home = "kit home" = "panelized home" = "pre-cut home" = on-site assembly from prefab components. The components are either generally available when the structure is designed or they are created specifically for the project (i.e. designed for reproduction)

[Weird] Strangeattractor.co.uk is a nice magazine

in

If, like me, you are into weird stuff, you should have a glance at strange attractor, a very nice magazines about topics as smart as: Forgotten Musical Technologies/Conspiracy Culture/Underground Installations/Eastern Vortex/Megalithomania. trange Attractor celebrates unpopular culture. For instance:

- The Return of the Old Ones: HP Lovecraft & the crisis of Modernity by Justin Woodman
- Magick Cyrkles: Glasgow Walks & Photographs
by Drew Mulholland
- The Craft of Ladies' Hairdressing Rediscovered by Xtina Lamb
- Mind the Zap: Mind Control at Greenham Common? Helen John interviewed by John Lundberg

[Weird] Spam Email Address Museum!

in

Fab also noticed the strong creative potential of spam address. examples:

bla_alla <bla_alla@libero.it> agentoflove@absoluteagency.com Babcock V <fer@isg.co.il> DrugStore Online <respondtor@ref5per.com> Local Singles <replytoukkeg@11cmrs.com> Ijgb Xw <krvlrsajtm@hucfsqocbvo.beautyinc.info> AccuQuote <AccuQuote@cheeryholidays.com> John Singleton <johns@crab-cakes.net> Justin <Justin5764@soFtwarerevelutioN1.coM> Schwester Moni <schwestermoni.g1980000@yahoo.com> Hgbf Zb <jtlgjrlv@ylroigjexkpo.beautytipmakeup.info> Babbitt Stotts <Kaywuec@illinois.co.jp> Alyssa <vvvwepe@tom.com> Small is <hgrshrs43y35@yahoo.com> Bedroom Fantasies <bethanyu@3eball.com> Debby <Debby@sdpktepdcmbxei.net> Philip <pshaogln@cbukrskvoa.com> Eukx Nj <tqqeucmqonjf@elemzklcux.makeup-site.info>

I like Kaywuec@illinois.co.jp because of this japanese illinois concept AND all those krvlrsajtm@hucfsqocbvo.beautyinc.info stuff so wonderful from a weird point of view. The different of case use is also nice. What's crab-cakes ?

Where is .il? what does lyggfviwf means?

Since I wrote those email here, there will maybe receive some spam :) Such a vicious circle. The Spam Email Adress Museum will foster new spam to spammers

[Weird] Bad Photography

in

Things magazine claims that since lots of people have digital camera, there's more 'bad' photography. I do agree but I like it. Bad Photography is a form of art as product imitation ('ersatz' in french) are often better or much more creative than the original one (I definitely like cereal box toys from poor companies, that would like to imitate Nestlé or Kellogs). Examples:
