I lied.

Remember when, some time ago, I told you about some website that was supposed to be the coolest thing you'll ever see on the Internet?

No?! Well, you should, because it was bloody yesterday!

Anyway, I lied. The post you are reading right now is a post leading up to the single most coolest thing I have ever found (and am likely to find in the near and not so near future) on the good ol' Internet. I call this gem the Coolest Thing Ever In The History Of Cool Things™.

Let me explain. I'm a fan of two things (I'm a fan of quite a few more things, but at this moment in time, everything besides said two things are beside the point) - I am, of course, talking about Radiohead (the fantastic and influential British band) and Flash Animations (you know, the Flash Animations).

So what happend? You guessed it; some nameless genius, some anonymous hero,
some .. well, whatever; he decided to put one and the other together, and by doing that he accidentally created the thing you are about to watch; the Coolest Thing Ever In The History Of Cool Things™.

Lo and behold, my fellow bloggers, the Coolest Thing Ever In The History Of Cool Things™.

Cheers

I'm still amazed at the sheer brilliance of this animation.

My advice: rerelease 'Creep' with this as its video, and we'll be seeing these people (Radiohead and the makers of the animation) at next year's VMA's.

I just keep watching this.

Amen to that.

By the way, click on the image, and you'll be redirected a site where you can watch some more of those animations, with that same sad dude in it. Good stuff.

You should ask - you're the photoshop-genius among us. I did it myself with a bit of Paintshop Pro. And a shoddy job I did, too - it looks horrendous.

I'm thinking of improving it (by, you know, putting more than 15 seonds into it) and keeping the sad little guy (who I have yet to name) as a recurring feature on my blog (maybe in the sidebar, who knows?).

Copyright, schmopyright.

I like the way the other people in there were mechanical skeletons. Like they're made of nothing inside.

Good shit.

In other news, I'm completely sober could but definitely use some sleep, too.

Sweet dreams, all.

Aw. I like your little noddle with the Santa hat.

Why, thank you. The more, the merrier.

I'll even return the favour. Unless your blog sucks, of course - then you'll never ever see me again.

Why you looking at me like that?

Alternatively, you don't even have a blog, which makes returning the favour rather difficult.

This means I'll have to come stalk you. Does tomorrow night at nine sound good to you?

It's pretty good. But it's not as good as a bunch of dancing badgers or a very long animated GIF that I once saw.

Nice blog! :-)

I know the GIF you're refering to - the one with the guy attacking the wall in a million ways?

I'll post it one of these days.

Cheers

I had to L3 at this: "I did it myself with a bit of Paintshop Pro. And a shoddy job I did, too - it looks horrendous."
Aww it looks like a 2 year old wrote it! hahahaha

That was intended, smart arse.

Glad to see you're back.

Sure Sure Martin, try to put the blame of your inept drawing skills on "sarcasm" Mmm Hmm...

I finally got to see the "Coolest Thing Ever in the History of Cool Things." (ha ha I liked that you trademarked that...didn't see it at first.) I must tell you I am in complete accordance with you. This was AWESOME!
