Names 4 Things I Cannot Ever Hope To Do

One of the things I cannot do are nunchucks.  Nunchucks are just 2 sticks tied together with a rope or chain, and even though they are Vietnamese martial arts tools, they look kind of benign.  Still, I cannot be left alone in a room with them (because they call me), and if you ever really wanted me hurt, just hand some to me and watch your hilarity ensue. That is if you think it’s funny watching someone accidentally whip their own ass very quickly.

Since that’s probably not going to happen, watch Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks.

I know!

I Like This

For people all over the world to note the passing of a phenomenal artist, is a good thing. These two performances, one at Segels Torg and the Central Station (a third installment was also planned to happen at Stureplan) were in Stockholm.

The dance collective Bounce came up with the idea and invited the public to a short choreographed session before performing it.  Nice!

Thanks, Michael Jackson.  You gave way more than you brought with you.

A ‘Say Something Nice Challenge’ Winner

Fresh, of Crunk + Disorderly, is one of the funniest black gossip bloggers out there, and one of her tags is the ‘Say Something Nice Challenge’.

With all respect to Fresh, Names4things is going to have to declare a winner.

[drum roll] The winner is… ABC!  Yes!  Congratulations!

ABC just reported that the white serial-killing South Carolinian responsible for five murders (so far), is described as “polite” and an “average person”, by people who have had the pleasure of his company.

Can you believe it?  I’ve always thought it both impolite and abnormal to be a serial killer.

But then, I’m still waiting for a black person accused of a crime, to be described in such glowing terms by mainstream media.  Yeah, I’m being careful.  I’m not holding my breath.

Comix

I was looking at a post that sent me to a site called Comics With Problems.  Interesting stuff.
