Mudflap Man and Other Choice Links
posted by Ana Samways at 1:08 pm
Strange Products: Mudflap man. Thelma and Louise would be proud.
Hobbies: Something to keep the little lady busy this winter.
Video link: Masculinity defined…
Media: Waikato Times ‘blogger’ Lisa Lewis sounds like a bad porn script – she gets flamed in the comments (I give her a month and they’ll screw her (scuse the pun) up and throw her out just like Alt TV did) UPDATE: In her latest blog Lisa writes about being newly single…
“You know you are single again when you lie wide awake watching Sky Movies on your side of the bed and glimpse to your left and suddenly realise that the other side appears to be picture perfect, like in a shoot in from NZ House & Garden…You know you are single again, when you pour one glass of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc with your take-out, and stand staring at the other wine glasses, empty in the cupboard….I think of his constant reminders for me to get the ring re-sized because it was too big for my dainty fingers!”
Diversion: Digitally become a movie star…one of those upload your photo things. Choice of The Terminator, Back to School, Dodgeball, City Slickers, Office Space or Robocop. (so, all male-centric)
From the archives: In this classic viral, Ethan Chandler from Bank of America sings U2’s “One”, but with his own banky-lyrics. Plus, how to overcome masturbation.
Strange products: The Baggler, helps you carry your shopping bags.
Rhys Darby…a little bit overexposed, maybe? He’s banging on about climate chage, plugging 2degrees, featuring on Intrepid Journeys, and is in British improv sketch comedy show Thank God You’re Here, on TV One, Friday.
Video: Now if Air New Zealand had painted their crew up like this for their safety video, that would’ve been rad!
Or if Zebras aren’t your thing…How about Dobermans?

The Baggler is not a new idea. Swiss army knives have had a strange implement on them since the year dot that does the same job. It has a long shaft and a small hook at the end and is designed to carry string shopping bags without strain on your pinkies.

The Baggler “You won’t have to search for the handles, so it saves time …”
And here I am, spending all those wasted seconds searching … SOLD!
