Funny Ads

I surfed the internet and found these pictures which I thought were quite funny.

It's true when they say, "A picture paints a thousand words...."

Hopefully, these will paint at least, a chuckle.

Enjoy because, like Horgs, I hate Mondays!

F word: Fucking glad I didn't see that dude!

5g iFone prototype

With the iPad coming out this week, everyone's getting a little more excited because this latest technology will help us become cooler or geekier.

This latest addition has propelled Apple past Microsoft this week to become the world's most valuable technology stock - a remarkable turnaround of a company that nearly went bust in the 1990s.

The new tablet has boosted Apple Shares (in New York) by 2.2%.

However, with a second sighting of the new 4g iPhone in Vietnam, I wonder if Apple should maybe redesign their iPhone.

If they do, I reckon the next Generation iPhone should look something like this... (iPad + iPhone)

F word: 5g iFone

M.A.S.K. Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand

I am pretty sure everyone would have played with these toys back in the day. They looked like ordinary daily vehicles but also had a secret attack mode within the first.

It was like a hydrid between G.I Joe and Transformers.

Totally awesome.

Matt Trakker, leader of the M.A.S.K in his red Chervolet Camaro G3, which can transform into a winged fighter jet plane.

For the geeks like me, you would naturally know that his MASK shoots out SPECTRUM.

And his old nemesis, Miles Mayhem (who had help Matt Trakker start up M.A.S.K but betrayed him later of course, for .... you guessed it, World Domination!)

Here are other M.A.S.K. toys

Condor is from the 1st series

JackHammer also from the 1st series

Gator from the 1st series

Hurricane is from the 1st series (maybe 2nd?)

Buzzard is from the 3rd series

Slingshot is also from the 3rd series

Rhino! Definitely from the 1st series!

Top marks for Kenner, the brains behind this. Brings back sweet memories!

F word? First rate toys of the 80s!

The Golden Age of Toys

If you are reading this and under 15, when your parents advise you to give or throw away your old toys, never ever listen to them!

All the toys that you have now will one day become geninue collectables.

If you are reading this and over 30, you will totally understand where I am coming from.

Back in the 80s, I grew up with some awesome playing toys.

There had so many good toys and everyone wanted one!

I would actually consider it 'The Golden Age' of Mattel and Hasbro.

We had Starwars, He-Man, Mask, G.I Joe, Ninja Turtles, Starcom, The Centurions, Thundercats, Marvel/D.C Superheroes and so much more.

I'd remember when I was around 10, I would loiter around Toys R Us for hours and hoping they would lock up the store with me inside and I could rip open all the toys and play the whole night.

Didn't care about food or sleep. Those dreams were magical and still are.

I reckon one of my dream jobs is actually to make toys and get focus groups to play with them to see if it's a success before launching it into the mass market.

If I ever have a time machine, I am going back in 1985 and buy all the toys my heart desire and also a DeLorean just like Back to the Future.

Here's the posters to some of the toys that brought happy memories to me.

F word? Fido Dido. Remember him? He was alright too :)

Chicago back in the day

I was surfing the Net and after clicking upon clicking various sites, I came across these old pictures.

It was a glimpse of Chicago from 1900 to about 1915.

Look at their hair and what they were wearing.

Doesn't this guy holding the newspaper remind of you of Christian Bale from the movie, 'The Prestige'?

I reckon you should already know by now that they have had run-ins with the law. Some were wanted, others small time peddlers and even a couple of slick gangsters.

At least a few had style.

Guess Yves Saint Laurent was correct. "Fashions fade but style is eternal..."

F word? Forger in crime but never in style.
