Stop Motion Animation-Stop-Very Awesome-Stop. (Telegram Jokes)

You know what I love? Stop-motion animation. It's seriously the best! It is soooo much work to make things move that shouldn't be moving. I love it.

I stumbled upon this small animation company called Sumo Science. These dudes apparently made the world's smallest AND the world's largest stop-motion animation films using a Nokia N8 (aka camera phone aka super bad ass--so they are also kind of Nokia commercials but so what? It helped them make something really cool.)

Here is the small film, appropriately titled Dot.

Feats: Biting Apples Whilst Juggling Apples

My notes:
1) Hahaha; impressive.
2) Wins the record for most awesome world record.
3) What a face (I smell another world record...) or, alternatively, "apple-faced goon."
4) I enjoy biting into apples too much to ever rush the process by also juggling. I will kindly sit this one out.

"I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that." -Brian Andreas, Story People

Delicate Wings Cease to Beat

Here is a short film by Paul Kroeker. The filmmaker found a dying dragonfly on his deck and captured the last of its life.

That made me kind of sad.

Mellow Mondays

It is a mellow Monday. It is like dead quiet where I work. The taco bar that is usually crowded during lunch hours is surprisingly empty. During days like these, I sometimes think about the Rapture. Like, if it had happened last night while I was sleeping. Except, I start to laugh because I assume that not enough people went to heaven for anyone to really notice. It's like those Left Behind books, except mine would be incredibly short.

Captain Spandex Fetish

Spandex fetishes entertain me thoroughly.

I don't completely get it but I kind of get it. I mean, I've worn tights before. It's kind of cool how smooth and slide-y your legs are when you wear them. In the video below, you can tell he definitely enjoys the slide-y smooth aspect of his fetish. Could you imagine wearing one of those suits on a dry (possibly wet) slip'n'slide? What about an inflatable obstacle course? A freshly polished marble floor? From where I'm standing, the possibilities for fun are endless.

The thing about these Youtube videos (pretty sure there are hundreds, if not thousands) is the lack of inaction. This fetish seems pretty innocent and that's why I like it. The entire time he is positioning himself in different poses and touching his body (not in a directly sexual way). They all seem to be like that. But, I'm no expert. I'm writing this post without having conducted an ounce of research, save for  a few videos (one in a Spider Man suit!)



Did you watch the whole thing? Did you see what started to happen around the 1 minute mark?  Surprise! I wonder how many suits you can wear before things, like breathing, get a little complicated. I think he's technically wearing three suits, like a nude prep suit? I don't know. I saw another video where he was stuffing pillows in his suit and he had a base coat.

My final thought: Super heroes.
