One Keg Equals How Many Tom Cruises?

nostarblog — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 21:04:42 +0000

Okay. We will agree that it takes a little more than 2 kegs of beer to fill a bathtub, but we’re finding it difficult to believe 1.8 Jennifer Aniston’s will equal a Tom Cruise. We’ll leave it up to you to find out how many babies weigh the same as a baby grand piano or how many Weinermobiles it would take to be the same length as the empire state building. Just visit Weird Converter. You can probably waste at least a good hour on this site and impress approximately 1/3 of your friends with what you’ve learned.

Can’t Go Back to the Future

First Sony retired the Floppy Disk in March. Now they are discontinuing the Walkman in Japan. Experts are uncertain whether the decline in sales is due to the increasing popularity of MP3 personal audio devices or advertisements like the one below. Thank God we still have calculator watches and bulky cell phones.

Owls are wise. Everyone knows it, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like to let loose every now and then. This pretty amazing blog called Hungover Owls is now documenting the owl party scene.

Are you land locked but crave getting barreled by a big blue wave? Grab a friend and your skateboard, head to Home Depot and get a big blue tarp. Just like that, it’s on.

Joe Garden Needs Some New T-Shirts

nostarblog — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 17:04:25 +0000

Joe Garden is a writer for the The Onion who owns many, many t-shirts. Apparently he has too many t-shirts, so he’s started a blog in an effort to allow the masses to help him weed out his collection. Each day he posts a new t-shirt and visitors to his site are able to vote whether he keeps the shirt or not.

We’re hoping he starts replacing some of his terrible tees with some of our amazing t-shirts.

Missing Missy

We don’t know if this exchange is true, actually assume it’s not, but don’t really care in the end because it’s awesome. A friend of the program who sent us the link summed it up best with a concise, “Graphic designers are dicks.”

Enjoy. At the end there is a link to what may be an unabridged version…either way it is a good read.

This isn’t necessarily a Missing Missy tribute tee, but the cat in our recent release, Cat’s Eyes, bears a startling, even uncanny resemblance….less the little red derby, of course.

Andrew Huston: A Man Among Men

nostarblog — Tue, 25 May 2010 22:52:36 +0000

No Star, a long time proponent of manly facial hair, is proud to announce our support of Andrew Huston in his quest for the Best Beard in the World. Andrew will be representing No Star as he competes in the World Beard and Mustache Championships on June 5 in his home town of Bend, OR. We wish him luck, but with a beard like his, we doubt he’ll need it.

9 Reasons Not to Date a Dinosaur. Wait, Make That 10

nostarblog — Thu, 13 May 2010 20:04:12 +0000

Pretty funny list of 9 reasons why not to date a dinosaur.

We’d like to go ahead and add our own to the list.

#10. Dinosaurs always get bummed when you use fossil fuels.

Two-Handed Pork Sword.

nostarblog — Wed, 12 May 2010 22:47:07 +0000

Wow. We feel like taking a shower just for typing that.

This Cold Steel™, Two-handed Great Sword infomercial is so undeniable* we couldn’t help but pass it along. Who are we, after all, to stand between you and ”flick, flick, flick” 6 lbs of pig-slicing cold steel?

“Sure it’s big, but there’s nothing awkward or clumsy about this sword”…just our host. Majesty?? Efficiency? Efficiently accomplishing what, exactly? I don’t want to ruin the ending for you. Actually, I can’t. I haven’t made it that far yet. This is 9+ minutes of medieval, movie-making magick. (medieval, except when they are stabbing barrels of oil in the parking lot, obviously outside on lunch break from their shitty office jobs, and trying really hard not to pretend they’re actually stabbing that over-officious prick Tom from HR.)

*By undeniable, we mean equal parts entertaining, fascinating and, eventually, gruesome. If you are squeamish, please stop watching at the 1:30 mark…before the pig face gets sliced, diced and replayed in super slow-mo. Honestly, what a bizarre selling point. I guess, when you buy the two-handed pork sword, you can break it out at your next World of Warcraft themed Luau and, well, WoW the crowd, if you will. Epic boots are sold separately.
