If you don’t know about a site called the Wooster Collective, you should check it out. I was on there the other day and found one of the coolest things i’ve seen in a long time. Back in May in London, in the city square, there appeared this….
“Oh look a huge barrel of fun right in London Square.” Then the next morning…Shazam. That’s right “Shazam!”
They’ve got huge puppets, everyone in costume, huge production right?
Simultaneously there were released 4 stories in the local papers the four days these things were happening in the city square. The story tells the tale of a Sultan who has these troubled dreams of a girl wandering lost through time. So the Sultan gathers engineers and they build this Giant Elephant that can travel through time. each snippet is about 3 pages long, and freakin inventive.
On the last day, that barrel ….well, see for yourself.
here’s a link to read the stories… http://www.thesultanselephant.com/thestory/thestory.php
It’s all the work of Royal de Luxe. It’s some pretty amazing stuff. Here’s their main page where you can read the stories and check out more about the troup. http://www.thesultanselephant.com/

Dave says:
so what are we gonna do about it?

… . .You should invest in the intricate study of Urban Lethargicism. Now, you might think . . . “well jon, this will make life more bored than it is currently” This would be a hasty and unfair judgment. In reality, once you dive into the life-style entirely. The average good times like playing pool at jeremy’s pad would have much more detailed and lively adjectives describing your experience.

Before the “Urban Lethargicism Experiment” . . . “ I went and played pool at jeremy’s, I won a few times”. . . BUT After - “ I just got back from playing the most awesome rounds pool at jeremy’s tricked out hizzle. It was truly the most wicked awesome fun I have ever had”.
This you will experience with everything you do. “ I love the beautiful act of data-querying my server today, I even submitted that life couldn’t get any better”.

instead of trying to be proactive in attmepting to improve the quality of life, I have found the simple joy of being slightly more lazy ( come on . . it is called Urban Lethargicism ). As we lower standards of life and begin to truly expect less of life, we appreciate the things we once thought were ‘boring’. Life isn’t stagnate, but exciting and filled with delight. . .afternoon delight.

that’s going on my blog right now
I sat in my car for over an hour this morning reading the owners manual and warrantee booklet. Not exactly the picture of excitement right? So, I thought i’d catch a movie. Not just any movie mind you…”THE PROTECTOR !!”
(A Note to the Reader: As a general rule I stray from movies with definite articles in their titles. There’s something about labeling a movie “THE” anything, that’s just retarted. Anyway, it rubbs me the wrong way.)
So i thought that at the very least I’d get to see an action flick, plus it’s foreign so double points for me rght? But these guys had so much more in mind.
They started out good, leaving the movie that was filmed in Thai with subtitles, my excitement jumped a bit, only to be smothered by an infectious laughter that spread through out the theater at the dubbing! This movie get’s 3 thumbs up from me!
1st, for the hilarious acting and dubbed dialogue. It doesn’t get any worse better than this folks.
2nd, for this one scene that’s about 3-4 minutes long where, in one contiuos shot, this guy wails about 36 people to the emergency room.
and 3rd, for this movie’s fair and equal represntation of every fighting style imaginable (complete with at least one sterotypical fighter)
If you’re into unintentional comedy, this one’s for you.
