Me, this weekend.
These Guy Are Insane
Jump in around the eight minute mark to watch these guys eat the Carolina Reaper, AKA the hottest pepper known to man.
In the first season of Hot Ones, host Sean Evans proved that there’s no wing he can’t handle. But the world of spicy foods doesn’t end at Mad Dog 357 hot sauce. To train for Season 2 and ensure his invisibility on the Hot Ones stage, Sean met up with a true legend of the chili world—Denmark’s ghost-pepper-popping Chili Klaus—to take on the hottest chili pepper known to man, the Carolina Reaper. Special thanks to “Smokin’ Ed” Currie of PuckerButt Pepper Company in South Carolina for providing the heat.
Wanna Know How To Spot A Fake?
Just the thing for a late afternoon distraction …
Forensic scientist Thiago Piwowarczyk and art historian Jeffrey Taylor PhD examine a purported Jackson Pollock painting and use their expertise to determine if the painting is legitimate or a forgery.
Sociopaths Are Creepy
And this looks amazing.
Although I always feel a little icky about getting excited for these types of documentaries, like I’m a fan of Bundy’s or something. I’m not. This heap of shit killed at least 30 women. But the way he did it – and how he got away with it as long as he did – is fascinating.
Anyway, January 24th.
Guess Who?
Yes, one more reason to hate Morrissey.
Original “Eye of the Beholder” Prosthetic Up For Auction
Lot 208 of 401, with a starting bid of $5,000.00. It’s expected to go for as much as $15,000.00!
From the auction site …
A male nurse ‘Pig Face’ makeup appliance from Rod Serling’s essential anthology series The Twilight Zone. This foam latex makeup appliance is painted in a light flesh tone with pink lips and large nostrils, and has been professionally conserved by LACMA object conservator Irena Calinescu and pin-mounted to an oval museum board. The appliance was made by prolific Hollywood makeup artist William Tuttle, who previously worked on H.G. Welles’ The Time Machine. It was acquired from science fiction writer and memorabilia collector Forrest J. Ackerman. This appliance has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. As a result, though the appliance is delicate and the foam is now brittle with age, the shape, color and appearance remain intact, and it is in good vintage condition overall.
In the episode ‘The Eye of the Beholder’ (206), the appliance is worn during the trademark twist ending, when the medical staff is repulsed by their patient’s ‘horrific’ beautiful appearance, one of the seminal moments in television history.
There’s actually TONS of cool shit in this auction. Check it out here.
So Good You’ll Want To Vomit?
Anyone watching this?
It’s supposed to be pretty terrifying to the point of making you vomit according to this article…
Steven King went so far as to say the series is “close to a work of genius.” I finished 2 out of 10 episodes. It’s not as scary as people on the inter webs are making it out to be, but it’s good. Lemme know what y’all think…
I Wanna See This
Correction: My inner 12-year-old wants to see this.
