Weight Watchers Recipes Cards from the 70’s

We used to have this kind of stuff lying around my house (the cards, not the food thank god).

They were always in bright orange translucent plastic containers, and no one ever seemed to know where they came from.

Anyway, go visit http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html to see some more horrors like the “Melon Mousse” and “Rosy Perfection Salad” pictured below…

I suppose they could work to make you lose weight in that no sane person would ever eat something that looked like that… =P

Half Life 2 I-Pod Style Music Video

This is really neat. A half life 2 music video done in the style of the I-Pod commercials using sounds (gunfire mostly) from the game to create the music. Really well done.

You can find more stuff from the creators (name Mighty Crane Films, which you should “get” if you play any HL2 deathmatch) at their myspace site.

Beat Box Kitchen

Interesting video of a guy beatboxing but playing as if the sounds are food ingredients on a TV cooking show.

Johnny Hollow

Neat website for the band Johnny Hollow. Kind of w creepy goth/industrial/something or other band, but neat music and website.

Wikipedia describes them as:

Johnny Hollow is a cello rock band currently based in Guelph, Ontario in Canada. The band has been described as “Gothic chamber music for the 21st century” and it combines electronica, gothic, and classical music styles among others and also includes keyboards and vocals alongside the cello.

Their website is really nicely, artistically done and has won several awards. I stumbled on them playing the A Murder of Scarecrows flash game, which is also very beautifully done, if not terribly exciting, and uses their music as a soundtrack.

Here’s a couple of screenshots of the game for anyone who is interested.

Anyway, at their website they have a riddle game set up where you can download mp3s of their music and wallpapers if you answer the riddles correctly. Pretty cool I thought. Free music for answering some riddles.

Here’s their website:

Let me know in the comments if you need help with the riddle answers =)

Accent Quiz

I don’t normally bother with blog memes or quizzes and such but I thought this one was funny.

Pegged me dead on.

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: Philadelphia
 

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you’re not from Philadelphia, then you’re from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you’ve ever journeyed to some far off place where people don’t know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn’t have a clue what accent it was they heard.

The Northeast
 
The Midland
 
The Inland North
 
The South
 
Boston
 
The West
