hidden cameras ahoy

The Real World: IKEA

Pros: It's in an IKEA. And much like that that video with the ET cartridges, it addresses a fantasy I've always had, but knew to be impossible.

Cons: Hokey hidden camera prank premise. "Let's go somewhere and act like assholes! ZOMG we got kicked out!" If it didn't work for Mega64, it probably won't work for you.

I notice that every Real World parody since 1996 seems to have a cowboy character, and an offended black man character. This surprises me, because I remember those characters from season two(!) of The Real World, which I watched back in the mid-90's at my parents' house. Have similar characters been a part of the show every season since then, or was season 2 really that memorable?

Origami project: Pigasus!

Fold your own Pigasus, the flying pig.

I had a glass Pigasus I bought at one of Tempe's street festivals. I wonder where it is, and whether it survived the move. (Ed: It was still attached to the hanging backsets, which are hanging once again.)

If you can be trusted with scissors, you can also make Portal papercraft.
