Wookie The Chew….

Movies, Star Wars, Things That NB Likes No Comments »

Almost makes your eyeballs sweat doesn’t it? These cartoons are drawn by one of my favorite artists, James Hance. He’s actually due to release these in a comic book titled Wookie The Chew.  If you’ve ever though you loved NB enough to by me a gift, I suggest his print shop. Just sayin’. Big Ups to Boing Boing for the find.

Man Builds Sex Doll….Based On His Ex

Learning Things, News, Sex 1 Comment »

sexdoll2This is about as creepy as it gets.

A dude in Italy is building a robotic sex doll designed to look like his  ex- girlfriend.  Well, he’s not building it, he’s getting a well known sex doll creator to build her for him. Word is he wants her to be an exact duplicate “but with bigger boobs”.

Now, here’s the question: If you were rich, had the money and could make it possible, would you do the same thing?

My answers: NO. Because you’re still nailing a doll. Gross.

15 Albums, 15 Minutes

Learning Things, Music No Comments »

outcomeThere’s a new meme on Facebook asking you to name 15 albums that will always be with you in 15 minutes. No time to get fancy, just name your favorite records and go from there.

I decided to put my list up on my blog for the whole world to see.  Making a list of your own? Add me on FB and lets talk about it!.

The Rules:  Don’t take too long to think about it.  Fifteen albums you’ve heard that will always stick with you.  List the first fifteen you can recall in to more than fifteen minutes.  Tag fifteen friends, including me, because I’m interested in seeing what albums my friends choose.  (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note.) Quickly, and in no particular order…

1- Rancid- ….And Out Come The Wolves

2- Guns & Roses- Use Your Illusion 2

3- Gram Parsons- G.P./Return Of The Grievous Angel

4- Ryan Adams- Gold

5- Dr. Dre- The Chronic 2001

6- Bob Dylan- Bringing It All Back Home

7- Beck- Odelay

8- Queens Of The Stone Age- Rated R

9- Oasis- Whats The Story Morning Glory?

10- NOFX- Punk In Drublic

11- Black Sabbath- Paranoid

12- The Clash- London Calling

13- The Rolling Stones- High Tide & Green Grass

14- Johnny Cash- American Recordings

15- Metallica- Ride The Lighting

Tall Brazillian Teenage Girl Is Tall

News 1 Comment »

Yes, I do feel strangely creepy posting pictures of a 14 year old 6 foot 9 model, but Elasany Silva has had to stop going to school because she can’t get on the bus.

The 14 year old is suffering from a rare disease that makes her grow like a weed. However she’s preparing to become a model in her native Brazil and abroad.

NB’s Musical Confessions Pt. 2

Learning Things, Music, Things That NB Does Not Like 5 Comments »

20thConfessLast winter I took some time out to discuss my unabashed love of the first 3 Limp Bizkit albums. Today, I have something else I need to get off my chest. I’m going to ask all of you to keep an open mind and bear with me. This time, it’s not about something I like, it’s about something I don’t really care for. And it just may be your favorite band. Just have a listen:
