The Rippin' and the Tearin'



For a man that at first view is seemingly past the peak of his sexual powers, Rick pumps and thrusts in such a way that suggests there’s plenty of life in the old stallion yet. He’s clearly enjoying the Indian summer of his career.

His smile alone tells you that much, but there are a few standout points that really capture how eager Ricky the sexpot is. At around 13 seconds, he can barely contain his excitement and just wants to talk about how happy he is to be there. Another 13 seconds and he’s grabbing at the mic to deliver his mantra: the Rippin’ and the Tearin’, the Rippin’ and the Tearin’. I’m really struggling to find superlatives in which to describe this moment.

With 40 visits to Hedonism 2 under his, err, speedo belt, I can only imagine the situations him and his horny pecker have found themselves ‘in’. He’s probably met Byron Kelleher at one of these things, and again, I shudder to think about what those two tweezers got up to.

Then the dancing... White guys.

You’ll never hear Beyonce’s ‘Diva’ again and not think of Rick thrusting his love in your direction.

Have fun.

ARGGGGH#@$%^&*!



If you own a Mac, I don't wanna hear it....unless this happens on Macs too...does it? I dunno. Either way. PET PEEVE 2000.

Antoine Dobson

Rape is a good thing never, but I am thankful that a failed attack resulted in this guy and his sister getting some solid air-time. The pair of them are made for television.



Neat auto-tune remix too:


Enjoy.

Joe likes burgers

The other day I was eating dinner at my flat - I do this from time to time, cash flow pending – when we got on to the subject of food consumption; namely speed and volume. We all rated ourselves, and inevitably compared stories of ‘that guy’ we know that can just eat and eat.

Everyone’s got one of these friends. You know the guy; they shovel their food down faster than everyone else at the table, then sit and wait patiently, eyeing up everyone else’s food at the table; carefully analysing which female is most likely to be defeated by her meal and therefore present an opportunity for this food-loving machine to ‘mop up the scraps’.

I’ve got a few friends that fit in to this category, and one of them is Joey Wharehinga, who I have the good fortune of working alongside on a daily basis. Being able to observe this beast in close proximity and study his eating habits has been quite a wild ride. I’ve always known he had a love of food – you only have to check out his twitter to know that much (@justjoe_) – but today he told me a story that perfectly illustrated his lust for greasy burgers.

Joe. thinking of cheeseburgers. I've seen Joe drive 15 cheeseburgers in to that gut.

It was a pretty standard Saturday night for old mate Joey ‘the social piranha’. He’d been out at Hayden’s 21st and had a few beers there, before heading out to the JuiceTV Bar n Grill (Windsor Castle) for some album release party, before finally mincing it up at The White House where he took in a stag do and looked at some pies.

Somehow, throughout the course of this socialising filled evening, he was able to fit in visits to Wendy’s, the one and only White Lady, AND McDonalds. He reckons these visits spanned about 3 hours, and included 10 burgers (including the sizeable White Lady burgers). I was quite astounded that he achieved this feat, all the while still downing a few brews. So astounded in fact that I just had to share it with all of you. Marvel.

Here’s what Joe drove in to his gut on that fateful Saturday night:

Wendy’s:
1 x Bacon Cheeseburger – snack.

The White Lady:
1 x Cheeseburger – filled a gap.

McDonald’s:
1 x Big Mac Combo – standard.
1 x Fillet O Fish – piss.
1 x McChicken – processed treat. no mayo.
1 x Quarter Pounder – excessive meat.
4 x Cheeseburgers – dirty little cocksuckers.

He took Monday off work.

p.s. I also used to know this guy at Primary School who could run on gravel with bare feet without losing any of his speed. what a result.

Fun with Boba

The other day the coolest thing happened. Some lady from Hasbro asked us if we wanted to give away some of the new Star Wars toys, which we kindly accepted.

I know we’re supposed to be giving them away and all that, but it was just too hard, we had to open one Boba Fett Helmet; we resisted it for a whole day but he just keep looking at me.

We all had a turn wearing the helmet, and did a few gag photos of us meandering through our every day work, but wearing the helmet whilst doing so. Crack up. What happened after that was quite disgusting, but nevertheless more entertaining than a few lame shots of us wearing the helmet at our desks.

Introducing, Hayden ‘The Hammer’ Bentley. P.s. It’s Hayden’s 21st on Saturday, so for all Ladies wanting to send in their panties, just drop them off to our store at 302 Great North Rd.

Oh yeah, giveaway to follow next week. And all the toys are brand new, completely clean and sterilized.

Steve keeps the Ajax at arms reach at all times. OCD.

Me. Super Kawaii.

Andy. drinking coffee. like a boss.

Wharehinga. dope bro.

Fett. at the bus stop. lol.

I was going to put something like, "Greetings earthlings" but then I realised that wasn't funny at all. Mel.

Old man Phil got amongst it, before declaring: "it's not practical".

Rob did wees out of his winky. it's so white, almost porcelain, and rumored to have no scent.

Rob offered $50 for Hayden to strip down. Should fund half an hour in town for him.

The Money shot. spread eagle.

You’ve probably seen it by now – but the Auckland City Mission have an awesome campaign running at the moment that we’re proud to be supporting.

The Auckland City Mission think it’s pretty stink how people in poverty suffer. They dedicate their lives to it. They also think it’s super stink how much more people suffer when it’s freezing cold in Winter. They’ve dedicated this week to really helping out people suffering this Winter.

Simply txt 305 with your initials and your choice of FIRE, STEAM, OR WATER to melt the safe. then watch it at www.icemission.co.nz

We’ve done it, and it’s wicked fun. Here’s a screen shot of our effort. It only came up with MR but, MRV didn’t fit. I’m an idiot.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I'm calling B-Tak Tamaki.

That's enough Mike Hosking. No one cares for your 5 page spread in the NZ Woman's Weekly. Stop trying to be Hugh Grant. Stop straightening your hair. Stop paying magazines to do shit-house stories on you. Just stop.

Shamone


I like this on so many levels.

i love stuff in my mouth.

I know how that must sound, but...

Every now and then a blog will come along and just completely blow your mind.

For me, that blog is ‘Stuff in my mouth’. Hearing the name, you’d probably (and perhaps reasonably) assume that this blog is one that carries rather questionable content. Not so.


Over the past year or so this fantastic girl and her fantastic little friend have humoured me with the various little items they’ve found time to photograph in their mouths. The items vary. From 14 Giant Jaffa’s, to 22 pencils, to a Dick Tracy figurine – their witty word play and deadpan expressions have always left me extremely satisfied.

I’ve no recollection of how I stumbled across this blog; I can only praise the heavens that such a miraculous gift came in to my life.

I suggest you try it.

win a NZ Indie Mix Tape USB

The crafty cats over at www.MusicHy.pe have done it again. You might have seen their Mint Chicks USB they did a while back, which was sweet. Well... now they've managed to get the top 12 emerging NZ Indie artists together to make one sweet little mix tape. Packaged on this nifty little cassette USB, we're lucky enough to have 2 to give away.

We've decided to make it easy for you, just buy one of these NZ Indie Mix Tape t-shirts that you would've bought anyway - and the first two to purchase them will get themselves a Mix Tape USB.

If you missed out on winning one, you can just buy it here.

The World Cup is over for NZ... here's a reason to smile though.

This morning the All Whites exited the 2010 World Cup with their heads held high. It was a morning full of emotions. I was really gutted, and as if I wasn't gutted enough, as we made our way to the White Lady for a post match de-brief over a greasy burger, we suffered the ignominy of being turned away because they were closing up. It was the worst feeling of my life.

But I saw something this morning that changed my mood. I'd seen it previously, but something really opened my eyes this time as I watched his poignant interview.

The world needs more people like this. What a good dude.

HELP

Our mates over at Microsoft are auctioning off their t-shirts for a good cause. All money raised will go to the Cure Kids organisation who do some pretty wicked things – over the last 30 years they’ve raised over $25 million for Child Research.

So yeah, get on board and make some bids. We vouch for the tees too. Some clued up cats made those suckas.

The reserve is $15, so just click here.

Fot Iraqi Kid

you have to watch this kid move.
the boy is good.
there's a whole raft of videos that feature this 'fat Iraqi kid', and I think the general gist of it is that he dances for the American soldiers and they give him candy.
he's a unit, and he's a genius.



He's a private dancer, a dancer for candy.

Famous

You know you've made it when celebrities of the caliber of Steven Seagal and Diamond Dallas Page are photographed with some of your apparel. It's even more impressive when you realise that these celebrities are at the peak of their careers.



If you know Andy Shackleton, you know that he's in to his action movies. And you can't really be in to your action movies unless you have a deep appreciation for Steven Seagal and his entire works. So it was with great joy we learnt that Steve had been gifted a KNZB bag by our mate Ben.

Everyone at Mr Vintage, well the guys here at least, have all been big wrestling fans at one point or another and we were just delighted to see old DDP still looking in tip-top shape. I love the Diamond Cutter.

A. Mazing.

I think you might like watching this guy if you like awesome stuff.



My flatmate Tim showed me this. Tim plays the drums, but he ain't got shit on this guy. This guy is truly a beast of a man.
