Easter is celebrated quite differently depending on the culture but I still thought Easter eggs are a fairly safe subject. Today's Friday game is a virtual version of something most of us have probably done while we were kids; painting eggs. Download an egg-template from here, paint it with your favourite piece of software and send it to me.
The Easter vacation is 4 days long which means I'm going to be available again on tuesday. That's when I'm going to publish a gallery of the eggs you've sent me and announce the winner. So, you've got loads of time to complete this task. The winner gets enough brouzoufs for a free t-shirt from our selection (shipping included).Have fun and take it easy!
Lately I've been fascinated by all kinds of shiny black objects. The office space of Skye Design (my company) and Sabone Design (a friend's company – and yeah, I know we could've done a better job selecting the names) will be done totally using three colors; white, lime green (this is still yet to be discussed though) and lots of lots of black.
This is where I spend 8-14 hours a day
There has been some talks about buying plants but I'm not really too good with those. An idea of having two Bonsai trees and two pairs of tiny little tree clippers is loads of fun but somehow I'm sure my tree would just die in a couple of weeks. This morning I bumped into something that will solve that problem for me and all other laFraise community members that aren't born with a green thumb; A mechanical bonsai tree / clock.
Warp speed 4 to inner peace, Mr. Sulu
How neat is that? The base is black as it should be and the gear wheels are chrome. No need to clip this tree, ever. No need to water it. Ok, it won't actually grow or anything but what can you expect for ~65 euros? It might not be the best invention since sliced bread but way better than a cheese crust on on pizza anyway.
Airtoons.com is a hilarious site that makes parody out of regular airline safety cards. You know, those funny clipart drawings that are stored conveniently in a seat pocket in front of you when you fly. It seems like they have dark little secrets and hidden meanings that aren't explained to the passengers. Today's Friday game is all about unveiling some more of them. Below you see 4 images. Write a text that explains each one of them individually.
The user with the funniest explanations for these images will win enough brouzoufs for a t-shirt of his/her choice from our selection. Shipping included as always. You've got until 9pm (GMT) to come up with the explanations and I will pick the winner on monday morning when I'm at the office again. Have fun!
…and I'm back!
After spending 4 days in Barcelona (this was my first actual vacation in two years) I feel like a totally new person. The city was beautiful, the weather was nice and warm, the food varied from decent to great (I especially enjoyed eating garlic mushrooms, batatas bravas, different kinds of local hams and drinking Cava), the sights were impressive (if you haven't been to Barcelona but plan on going there you've got to check out Sagrada Familia – the whole project is totally insane and most wonderful at the same time), the walls were asking for paint and it was awfully nice to meet up with a friend I haven't seen in a long time.
Colors, colors, colors!
"Loma" = "Vacation"
Muy Caliente
Anyway, enough about that. Slideshows about people's vacations bore the hell out of me and I'm sure my vacation photos aren't particularly interesting either. It'll take me a day or so to get back on track with the laFraise stuff but I'm working on many issues that should be quite something to wait for.
So, keep on rocking and reading the blog.
As you may have noticed, style is not just about wearing the coolest t-shirts ever made. Unfortunately. But here is something that could help you being perfect. A simple not-to-do list.
How many "mistakes" did you make today? Three for me. But it's a Sunday so we have kind of a permission, haven't we? Nope? Erm, sorry for my knee socks with skirt, mea culpa, sorry for my visible pantyline, and sorry for the holiday sweater. I'll try better tomorrow : /
Via.
I was watching this video and some other similar ones the other day when I came up with the Friday game for today; since you can actually make it to the Guinness book of World records by wearing a massive amount of t-shirts I started thinking about other possible t-shirt related World records.
Your task today is to come up with a t-shirt related stunt. Something we could do to appear on the book. I have a few ideas myself but presenting them right here and now would probably take the edge off from your entries and I certainly don’t want that to happen.
The game only runs for two hours (4pm->6pm GMT+2) and the winner will receive enough brouzoufs for a t-shirt of his/her choice from our selection (shipping included). Have fun!
A while back on of my buddies wasn’t actually having the best day of his life. He was doing some computer helpdesk stuff over the phone and the people that called that day seemed to be even a bit more irritating than usually. I can’t quite recall what he said on IRC but it was something along the lines of “if one more numbnut calls me and asks for assistance because he can’t install a web camera I’m going to have to kill myself.” Well… To cut the long story short I made a call to get his office phone number, called him, introduced myself with a phony name and asked him to help me install my brand new web camera.
“It sez Lokitek.”
“USB? What’s that. Yeah, I suppose it’s something like that.”
“My computer? I dunno. Well, it has a picture of an apple on it.”
A few minutes after the call I admitted doing it and he swore he’d get his revenge. I almost forgot the whole thing… until this morning. I got a package in the mail from a company that manufactures male inconticence… thingies… adult diapers, if you will.
“Male incontinence is far more common than you think. Attached to this letter you will find samples of our products. We have they live up to your expectations!”
It took me a while to realize that this must a prank and as soon as I figured that out I already had a suspect. Yup, it was the same buddy of mine I had prank called earlier on.
Do you already know where I’m going with this? Today’s Friday Game is “Pranksters.” Sure, he got his revenge. Now it’s my turn. I want suggestions for a perfect prank. This guy isn’t my next door neighbour or anything but lives some 300km away so keep that in mind while making your plans.
You’ve got until 9pm (GMT) to complete the task. The best prankster get enough brouzoufs for a free t-shirt from our selection (shipping included). Hopefully you’ll get really active with this one and yes, I do know I'm being a bit juvenile here. Men never really grow up. ;)
