Bands as Font Names

Now I’m not a graphic designer. Or a visual artist. Not in the least. My stick figures make anorexics look like Henry VIII. But I’d like to think that I can appreciate good design when I see it. And I’d also like to think that I can appreciate a good graphic design joke when I see one. Especially if it’s one that crosses over into areas where I do have experience…namely font usage (hey, I use Word fonts like a champ!) and band names.

This guy put together a sweet list of Fonts used as band names, along with the genre of music that the band would play. Check it out. Hilarious, no?

As an aside, he somehow missed my new project: Plantagenet Cherokee. We’re a prog rock indie group made up of nominal Native American descendants. Just wait until you hear our debut limited release EP entitled “Iroquois Tears II: In Which The Guardians of Our Shores Receive The Everlasting Divine Sight.” It’s gonna be awesome.

Worst Fight Scene Ever?

Not only is this a terrible fight scene, but it’s also dubbed.

Not only is it dubbed, but it’s dubbed into GERMAN.

Not only is it dubbed into GERMAN, but it features a legless ninja in a wheelchair.

Let that sink in.

Legless. Ninja.

In a WHEELCHAIR.

This might actually be the most amazing fight scene ever created since the dawn of civilization.

Amazing. And sad. Sad that the only Star Wars-related stuff that actually brings me joy comes from people not named George Lucas.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

Oh hot damn! I’m going to see an advance screening of Hellboy 2 this evening and I am freakin’ stoked. The Rouse will be accompanying me and I’m sure a good time will be had by all. Aside from The Dark Knight, which opens a week from this Friday, Hellboy has been one of my most anticipated movies of the summer. I dug Iron Man and enjoyed The Incredible Hulk…but Hellboy is hands-down one of my favorite comic characters. There’s a depth and pathos to the world that Mike Mignola created that just resonates with me.

If you haven’t caught a glimpse yet of this, here’s one of the previews. It’s gonna be awesome…

Little Hands Little Feet

My beloved started a new blog to chronicle our adventures in parenthood, family-hood, and general awesomeness-hood. It’s called Little Hands Little Feet and you can find it here. It’ll be a great place to keep up with our latest news, pictures and adventures. Of course, I’ll still keep bringing you the random retardedness that you’ve come to know and love from the House of Hunt (how do you like the new look?), but LHLF will be totally family-centric. Rock on!

I love my girls

I had to share these two pictures. They’re quite possibly my favorites from the past few days.

HM! GWAR! AWESOME ENSUES!

In the midst of all the jubilant rejoicing over Flannery, I also have to make sure that I continue to bring you guys the random cool stuff that makes life worth the living. For today’s installment, we’ve got the first of three commercial spots that HM Magazine recently shot with Endeavor Media. As a quick aside, you’d be doing yourself a favor to check out the work that Endeavor has done. They’ve got some truly sweet videos on their collective resume. Anyway, these spots feature HM Magazine being enjoyed by Oderus Urungus of GWAR. What a great guy. Of course, I’m slightly biased given that I’ve read and loved HM for years (and I’ve recently started contributing to them on an irregular basis). But hopefully you’ll find this good for a chuckle or two. I sure did.
