The (un)life of Urishima

(Wiesensteig, near Göppingen)
Yesterday a 37 year old, drunk man decided to ride an ale-bench down a nearby summer-jump, and almost ripped off his own head because he overlooked a cable rope that was used as a cordon at the end of the jump. The cable rope hit his head, leading to severe cuts and fractures on his face and skull. He died in front of the other 20 birthday-party guests, including his brother.

This wasn't his first time doing something like that. He often jumped off that jump with normal skis and once in a wok.

His wife, who was on a trip in London at the time, was shocked but said "At least he died while he was having some fun, not knowing what were to happen.".
He also leaves behind a 6 year old daughter.

I probably shouldn't laugh about this, but simply had to when I read it in the newspaper.
Sad thing that he doesn't qualify for a Darwin award anymore.

The newest episode of 'There Will Be Brawl' is available on the escapist.
Watch as Luigi delves deeper into the Mushroom Kingdom's underground.

Best episode so far, if you ask me. I love how the show gets darker and darker with every single episode. The scene with that astronaut from Pikmin had me shivering. And that fighting scene near the end: Donkey Kong throwing barrels, now that's classic ^^

Embedding doesn't work anymore. weird...

I know, I know. I promised to post something soon last month but my weaker self got the better off me.

Anyway, this one is about the new Star Trek movie. Don't worry, I'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible. Will cover X-Men Origins: Wolverine (watched that one on Saturday) in another newspost. Continue reading "Star Trek"

Yeah, not much going on here, right? Sorry about that but we don't have a internet connection on the casern (at least not for private use and I won't get my ass whipped for breaking those regulations). Well, not much going on here anyway. Will write a bigger post next weekend. Some thoughts on what happened recently (youtube deleting music for example) and some other stuff. Am also working on a profile page for those who want to know a thing or two about me.

Gotta go now. I'm having lunch with the best grandma in the world

Cherio...

Hello kids, get yourself some popcorn and get comfortable on your couch, office chair, throne made of human bones or whatever you normally sit on in front of your computer. It is time for the 2nd episode of 'Cooking with Uri' where I show you what kind of delicious food stuff I made today.

Again I decided to grab that cookbook I got from the best grandma on the world and went for a cordon bleu that isn't one, a 'smoked pork chop - apple - cordon-bleu' without any cheese in it. Continue reading "Cooking with Uri - smoked pork chop - apple - cordon-bleu"

You guys remember the free hugs campaign by Juan Mann? Found this little video on Sareth's life journal which had quite similar effect for me: it made me happy, it made me smile, life is beautiful
It's a 16 minutes long movie about a guy who dedicated himself to make everyone around him smile, including the woman of his life who never smiled once since she was a little girl. It's a real tearjerker and it will definitely make your day too.
So if you feel down right now, stop doing anything else and watch it

Yesterday the continuous ranting and chirping in one of the Megatokyo -SDFw- Threads lead to a short but interesting discussion on the difference between erotic/nude art and actual pornography, that somehow lead to another discussion about our society's view of sexuality, on which Sareth (one of the more popular MT forumnites) wrote an interesting rant which I will be quoting here. Just let me tell you beforehand that I couldn't agree more with what he said. Actually, that guy often manages to write down what I've been thinking so precisely that I can't shake the feeling that he is poking around my head every now and then. Probably should pop out my aluminium foil hat again...

Anyway, here are Sareth's thoughts on the subject.
