Minnesota is the birthplace of the Zombie Pub Crawl, which has taken place every October since 2005. People dress up as zombies and crawl the Twin Cities’ bars. Here’s a taste of what it’s like, courtesy Pioneer Press tech columnist Julio Ojeda-Zapata. Found at YouTube from ojezap.
Chris Menning has conclusively demonstrated that we Minnesotans are the hippest in all of the land with Google Insights for Search data showing that the most searches for the word “hipster” come from Minnesota. If you might be wondering if that simply means that we don’t quite know what hipsters are, take a look at Menning’s supporting evidence.
Twins centerfielder Ben Revere kicks it into high gear and takes a tumble on his way to third base.
This is pretty funny. Stephen Colbert lampoons Tim Pawlenty’s GOP debate performance. Found at Comedy Central.
Xtreme Muzik: The Tour?? Really?!?
I spotted this billboard for Big & Rich at Mystic Lake Casino…but are we really expected to take seriously an Xtreme Muzik tour from a couple of Good Ole Boys in cowboy hats? [DETAILS.]
I found this sign at the entrance to a residential street in Southeast Minneapolis. Apparently, the neighbors take the directives on their Do Not Enter signs very seriously.
Heh. The Daily Show explains how Minneapolis dethroned San Fransisco as the gay capital of America. Found at The Daily Show via Kevin Hoffman and Julio Ojeda-Zapata.
Love it! Twins catcher Joe Mauer makes fun of Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu over his high voice and his Head & Shoulders commercials…in this Head & Shoulders commercial. Mauer ought not quit his day job; he’s a far better hitter than he is an actor. Found at YouTube from headandshoulders.
Did Vince McMahon start a football league? Cause the Lingerie Football League would seem to be right in his wheelhouse. Regardless, Minnesota will soon get a taste of what nightwear on the gridiron is all about. And from the looks of it, it could be awfully entertaining.
These girls can play them some football!
They’ll play at the Target Center. They haven’t got a name yet but you can submit your suggestion to LFLinMinnesota@LFLUS.com and if it’s picked, you’ll win season tickets for life. Open tryouts will be announced shortly. (If you want to get some practice in before the tryout, we play every Saturday afternoon at the Northeast Minneapolis Athletic Fields. Just saying.) The season home opener is scheduled for October 1, 2011. Found at YouTube from LingerieFootball.
More evidence that the notion of the mashup is taking hold in the mainstream culture. The Bryant Lake Bowl is currently showing Michael Bay’s Super Mario Armageddon, a mashed up play featuring the video game sensibilities of Super Mario Bros depicted in the film direction style of Michael Bay.
Here’s Bryant Lake Bowl’s description: Action movies and video games collide in a mushroom cloud of funny! Imagine the biggest video game ever! As told by the biggest director ever!! In the biggest way ever!!! Now imagine all that squeezed onto a 9 x 22 foot stage in the back of a bowling alley.
Two more shows remain. [DETAILS.]
