Boredom Beater 15

This week's game is a cool little flash game is called Ego Arm Wrestling. The fun thing about this game is the fact that it is an interactive movie, with a real person. Other than that it is kinda annoying. After you win one and lose one you have seen it all.

News2Me: Can-Printing Art Teacher Canned

Below you will find an article that was emailed to me from a friend. The article was found at MSN.com and is about a high school art teacher who was fired because of his personal artwork. At first, I felt a little sorry for the gentleman, thinking that it was terrible that his own private pursuit of art creation was grounds for his termination. That made me a little weary. Thinking the artwork I create and produce could be used against my teaching position. Granted I have not created with my genitals and/or posterior but I am sure I have created some pieces that would not be seen as appropriate. Contemporary art seems to be synonymous with controversy. Then I thought, "What an idiot!" Who films themselves painting with their naked body and then posts it on YouTube and doesn't expect to get in trouble, especially if you work with kids! Then a colleague pointed out the fact that this could be an amazing publicity stunt. This artist with his "avant garde" art, has gotten national recognition for his creations and all it cost him was his teaching position, that he probably would have given up for a successful art career. He has probably sold more paintings than he can sit on, since he has been suspended. Maybe, I should get fired for my art and then I could sell the controversial painting for $900. But what could I now do. This guy cornered the marker on privates painting, so maybe I could somehow involve my students in my art. I know, I take a dump and then add dye. Then I could slam a lucky students face into the colored doo. Next I would smear the child's poo covered face on the canvas, in order to create portraits of famous movie stars. I would be known as a crappy Andy Warhol. Seriously though, I find the fear that it creates self-imposed censorship.
Anyway, read it and see what you think.

Va. school board fires '‘butt-printing' art teacher
Paintings done during off-hours sell for as much as $900


RICHMOND, Va. - An art teacher whose off-hours work as a so-called '“butt-printing artist'” became widely circulated among high school students has been fired.

The Chesterfield County School Board, in a unanimous voice vote, fired Stephen Murmer at a meeting Tuesday night, spokeswoman Debra Marlow said.

In its decision, the board reasoned that students have a right to receive their education in an environment free from distractions and disruptions, Marlow said. The decision also is in keeping with court rulings that hold that teachers are expected to lead by example and be role models, she said.

Jason Anthony, Murmer'’s attorney, called the vote "a bad day for the First Amendment."

"Chesterfield lost a tremendous asset today," he said.

Murmer, a teacher at Monacan High School, was suspended in December after objections were raised about his private abstract artwork, much of which includes smearing his posterior and genitals with paint and pressing them against canvas.

His paintings sell for as much as $900 each on his Web site.

The unique approach to art became a topic when a clip showing Murmer, wearing a fake nose and glasses, a towel on his head and black thong, turned up on YouTube.com and became the talk of the high school.

Boredom Beater 6-pack

Since i was lax in bringing some fun games to the masses of people who read my blog looking for fun mindless games to playon the web I decided to do a 6 pack of fun filled and possibly irritating games.

Air Hockey
In honor of my cousin, who gave me an air hockey puck aat my wedding which we had stolen from an Ocean City arcade as teens, comes a game of virtual air hockey that moves so fast you keep playing it just to not feel stupid (which you eventually feel anyway bcause the stupid game is impossible.

Tennis Pong
A pong game with a tennis theme. BOOOOOORING and yet somewhat addictive.

Crazy Pool
A pretty fun pool game, but frustrating because the game is too big for the window. Therefore your playing surface is often cropped by the edge of the window. Sometimes you even loose your cue off beyond the edge.

Save The Earth
A very fun game which is fun to play, but the web version is a meeger 4 level demo for the buyable version.

Bullet Bill
The lovable bullet character from Mario Brothers gets his own game where his goal is to smash through rock platform and try and knock off mushrooms (and possibly other MarioWorld friends in later levels).

Zoo Keeper
A very fun puzzle game not unlike Gems. Please read the directions if for no other reason besides becoming further confused.

Have Fun!

Weekly Wipeout 34

This is a video that should be accompanied by some sort of PSA, like stupid people do dumb stunts. I can't really call this a wipeout because the guy does not wipeout. he instead slips and plummets into the shallows of a quarry and knocks himself out. As serious as this video is, I had to laugh out loud when the cameraman, chuckles "He's naked," while his buddy is dying below him. Amazing sensitivity!



Watch and learn... Stupid people do dumb stunts!

A Holiday Carol!

In honor of the holiday season that has just ended, I decided to link to a classic holiday carol. The timeless "Ding Fries Our Done" has become a modern classic in the holiday season. I must admit that I ownly recently saw the true video just recently (this past fall) but I had heard the legend of the flash movie for many years. If you have never seen this politically incorrect hilarity, check out Ding Fries Are Done. If you have seen it and do not want to relive the laughter check BK Remix for the TranSiberian Orchestra-esque version.
Oh! and Happy New Year!
