Party Time.

Minutes are ticking & in a short time the celebrations are to begin. Its time we bid goodbye to year 2007 & welcome 2008 with open arms. Drinks are to flow the whole time & many of us may be drinking like a fish, when we cant help it least we many try to be a bit more health conscious & make a better choice. In this image we have various products & brands, which suggest the benefit one gets by its consumption (we aren't in a mood to discuss the benefits of drinking & nor is this the time). Click on the image to enlarge.

Which means Mr. Crooked Brain has to stick with Black Label or Grant if we go by this. Just another thing, we aren't sure of the origin of its source & hence its difficult for us to ascertain the authenticity of it or whether really it's a fact or was just created for fun.

And things to avoid:

Just in case if you can't, then see to that you don't get your images clicked or get uploaded on Facebook. One other thing least you don't do it yourself.
And with this post we concluded this year of blogging & wish you all a "Happy New Year", & thanks for the support you guys & gals gave us. See you in 2008!

Creative Ads By Smirnoff.

Albert Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge", & this holds true as far as advertising is concerned.

Several adverts exist in four independent worlds: the world of the sender; the fictional world of the characters; the world of the receiver; and the real world of the receiver. Therefore, the goal of the sender is to push the product into the real world of the receiver. An ad seeks to create enough contact between fiction and reality, sender and receiver, characters and consumer, for the passage of the product from one world to another to be feasible.

Amazing Lizards.

Henry is an American Lizard Lover & one of the first popular (to the public) iguana-enthusiasts who lives with his unconventional family of 33 lizards (since 1982). He photographs them & his photos of iguanas are well known & he's been on TV many times. He also writes about Iguana behavior & health care.
All the images on his site are of real & live lizards & there is no 'photoshop' work involved.

Its a real & live one possing for the camera.







Millions are amazed by lizards & the key to their charm may be their color.



These images were taken when Henry was making some minor adjustments at the coffee shop.

One Fine Morning... In The Awesome Hollywood Hills of America, October 13, 2007...
Healthy pampered pet lizards, calm and willing to be photographed, and NO "Photoshop" work in this photo. Three real, live lizards, up in the Hollywood Hills, photo by Henry Lizardlover.

This is interesting, these lizards takes a shower, every morning and night before bed.

This is the work of male iguana. So we believe you are getting a much wider picture with this image. If you are thinking for going in for iguana as a pet, then better go for a dog or a cat as its much easy to handle.

Thinking About Getting An Iguana? Better Think Twice and Know This About Iguanas As Pets
You might consider a different lizard as a pet, instead of an iguana, lizards such as "bearded dragons" or various types of skinks may be better pets. Iguanas can reach a size and weight (10 to 20 pounds) that becomes difficult to handle and house for some people.

Well at times we don't need to stage things for getting something witty or humorous. Things on their own turn the events into humorous one. The only point to be observed here is that you need to be there to see it or rather cash it (if you put it in simple terms).

Silverware Art.

Interesting.

An immaculate surrounding gets eight out of scale pieces thoroughly clad in white gold mosaic: a Cake Platter, a Teapot, a Silver Spoon, a Tea Tray, a Basket, a Dish Cover, a Candle Holder and a Chandelier. The visitor's attention is at the surprising size of the sculptures that seem to float in a dreamlike space. In this ambiance, the pieces shimmer as if they belonged to the fine family silverware collection, "brushed up" and proposed in a contemporary key, in an amazing format that will bring back to mind those memories from the past.

Parent Award for the Year 2007.

The curtains are coming down for the year 2007 & year 2008 is beaming at us, its time we take care of the Parent awards for the year 2007.
A few of the pictures are hilarious & some aren't or rather shouldn't have been done (that's our thinking). So who gets the top position?

Vienna Vegetable Orchestra.

Tired of bass, guitar, or drums? Then try using carrot, pumpkin, leek, cucumber or celery.
That's what the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra does, founded in 1998, the one of its kind in the world which performs music solely on instruments made of vegetables.
The 11-strong group plays everything from contemporary to house, jazz to classical using carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, cucumberophones & celery bongos.
These guys have given a whole new meaning to playing with food.

(Image credit: Telegraph).

"We got the idea one day while we were cooking and chopping tomatoes," Nicklaus, co-founder of the orchestra, said. "We got fascinated with the sound the chopping made, and from that moment we have started to hear music in a new way."

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpfYt7vRHuY">Watch the "Vienna Vegetable Orchestra" Video on Youtube</a>

Performances of Vegetable Orchestra appeals to all the senses, & at the end of concerts, the audience is offered fresh vegetable soup made from the instruments, we meant fresh vegetable.
Not only is this cool but it sounds great too!

The Cost Of One Beer In Zimbabwe.

This picture was taken at Country Club in November 2007.

The patron had been to his bank and was supplied with the only notes they had - $500 's.
A beer at Country Club is now Z$1 Million so here we have 250,000 in 500's.

This gives us a better understanding of the issue:

Well, consider this: at a supermarket near the center of this tatterdemalion capital, toilet paper costs $417.
No, not per roll. Four hundred seventeen Zimbabwean dollars is the value of a single two-ply sheet. A roll costs $145,750 - in American currency, about 69 cents.
The price of toilet paper, like everything else here, almost daily, jokes about better use for Zimbabwe's $500 bill, now the smallest in circulation.

One Drink Per Person.

This company was having some issues with expenses & was running a tight ship. Hence under the same criteria it was decided by the management that at the company's upcoming picnic, drink would be served but in the limit of one drink per person.

Still technically following the guidelines issued by the managing board of the company (one drink per person), one of the managers (most probably) ordered for these cups.

Well what really happened to the guy who ordered these cups is unknown, most probably he must have been asked to clear his desk!

Had we been on the management board, then this guy would have been given a raise & his ingenious creativity would be put to proper use!

What do you think?

This Wasn't Expected Of Walmart!

The actual flip flops.

This lady bought a pair of flip flops from Walmart expecting them to provide the much needed comfort but it turned out to be something she didn't expect. Here are a few photos of what happened once she started to wear them:







Here are some more images & details.

Walmart seems to have maybe lost track of how many people have told to them....I decided to help them out!

And here are others who had also been effected.

The intangibility of miraculous natural phenomenon that occur in remote, exotic places is where I depart as a collector and creator of objects of simulation.

The subjects of my focus on natural, especially biological, partly supernatural events, while its concrete visualization addresses the theatrical, or monumental: another reinterpretation of history referring to the initial presentation of findings, new discoveries. The scale and materialization of the work directs the viewer's way of perceiving and experiencing it.

My latest Project Mutatoes, a collection of non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables, addresses the extent to which we control and shape the appearance of nature through lawful standards and commercial selection.

This is a photo of Indian national cricket team players. If you don't follow cricket then it may be a bit difficult for you to follow who is who in this image.

Not Sreesanth himself, we can see his hands.
Not Dhoni, we can see his hand in orange gloves.
Little master Sachin Tendulkar is busy with his own.
Robin Singh has his hand on Dhoni.
It can't be Yuvraj Singh as he is behind Robin Singh & he is a leftie.
Guy with the cap is Sehwag & we can see his hands.
Now the guy left out is Rohit Sharma, any guesses!

One another thing 'The Indian Cricket Team' is currently the highest paid national sports team in the world (in terms of sponsorship).

You need to be just a bit extra careful with buddies who cant keep their hands still.

How To Use An Indian Toilet!

Here we have a photo gallery by Jesse A. Todhunter on how to use an Indian toilet & with lots & lots of interesting comments.

If anyone has been to India, undoubtedly this is a question that we have all found ourselves asking. Luckily, while visiting a bar in Kovalum, Kerala, they had the decency to explain this for us layfolk. Now, I have been to India three times and this is still something for me (note: I admittedly cruised around with a nice wad of toilet paper in my pocket or day pack). I hope that this happy little illustration can clarify the matter. Enjoy. (Also keep in mind that this is comparatively speaking a very nice bathroom compared to most that you come across while backpacking around India...)
