Bad British baseball commentary

jkottke:

Ok, it’s no NFL bad lip reading but this fake commentary by a British broadcaster of a baseball game is still pretty hilarious.

He runs in to bowl…Mork and Mindy, that’s going for six! No! Caught by the chap in the pajamas with the glove that makes everything easier. And they all scuttle off for a nap.

Disturbing Rubber-Band Portraits
Wes Naman, known for his photos of people with Scotch tape wrapped around their face, has taken his craft to a new level. This time he’s using rubber bands.
Wired reports on the Albuquerque-based photographer’s latest work:

Naman wanted the rubber-band project to be about more than just photography and decided to photograph only musicians, dressed in some sort of band T-shirt.

Head over to Wired for more info and an extensive gallery of Naman’s work.
