go to south park

Southparkwell, maybe it's impossible for anyone to go to the real southpark, but atleast you can send a version of you to your own south park.
this cool little lets you make your own south park character from head to toe and choose the setting. there's even some finishing touches on there like cartoon mp3 players, necklaces, and leprechaun shoes.
so it's a fun way to escape from work for just a little bit or you can send your friends and coworkers there instead.

sour telegram

Altoidsin grade school, everyone puts a valentine in everyone else's heart decorated bag. in high school, you get val-o-grams with carnations. in college, you get nothing, really.

but what do you get when you're working? an altoids singing telegram. it's kinda long, and sort of heartbreaking. so make sure to preview it before you send it out to your special someone. i mean, it is for sour mango altoids.

30K millionaires

30kmilso i was joking around the other day, about the kind of noise i hear when people pass by my window on their way to the uptown dallas hot spots. it's a known thing around dallas, if you've ever been single and went out to certain places, there were specific types of characters you'd meet dependent upon the neighborhood you chose. i chose my neighborhood, bc it was safer. from crime, i mean. but when it comes to shallow fake people, there's no dodgin' em.

the film 30K millionaires shows what you can find walking/driving around uptown dallas, texas. their theme: "it's not what you make, it's what you fake...". yup, that's dallas, allright. we've now become the "l.a. of the south."

i'm posting about this not bc i like the site design, which i think is lacking in some areas, but if you read the blog on their site, you'll see the tremendous influence of word of mouth (or power of the forwarded link). and... bc i really do know people like this.
