    Invention 

    Invention: Shouting Flame Head by Adam Cavill

    I would like to invent this. It would just appear when you are sitting down somewhere. if someone said something stupid it would flare up! Big flames would come from its head and it would say:

    “WHAT YOU HAVE SAID IS STUPID!”

    It could add things for special cases like “IT IS ALSO MISOGYNIST!” or “IT IS ALSO RACIST!” or “YOU ARE A SPOILED BRAT! LET THE SHUTTING OF YOUR MOUTH BEGIN!”

    That, my friends, would be a cool invention.

    Download: Particles – Fat Ctrller

    This was project I was doing in 2000 called Fat Ctrller. I’m still trying to find the rest of the music, over time hard drives crash, CDRs are scratched, things get lost and never found again.

    George Carlin R.I.P. 

    BEFORE YOU PLAY THIS VIDEO BE AWARE THAT IT IS FULL SWEARING

    George Carlin used to make me laugh when I was a teenager. I wish that time would kind of stop going forward or something, I wish things would only change for the better is what I mean. :(

    Dare to be Hair 

    I was at a barbeque at Dave’s place in Northernmost London a few years ago talking to Jay from http://www.myspace.com/knucklesheavyera">Knuckles.

    We got to discussing how alternative people weren’t really trying that hard to freak people out with their hair. Sure you got your mohawks, skinheads and that guy from The Prodigy hair (a style like call Island Lonely Spike Grandfather Island), but what about the real hair adventurers? Where were they? I’m talking about the ones on the dirty fringe, the split ends of hairstyling, the ones that walk the line between “I am bongo bongo kookamongo” and “I did this to myself. On PURPOSE.”

    We had no idea where those people were. We had some ideas for them though. Ideas we were sure we had NEVER seen anybody rocking. Ideas so outlandish that if any of you actually get them done to yourselves or cultivate them, as the case may be, I will reward you with a t-shirt of your choice from The Monstore.

    Hair Concept 1

    Nohawk by Adam Cavill

    The Nohawk. It’s like a mohawk but in REVERSE! The hair left on the head has to be spiky and gluey like a mohawk would be. It could be of a funny colour like pink or purple. Pink or purple hair is great in general cause it really shouts, “I’m a FREAK, look at me. Don’t look a me. Are you freaked out by my hair colour? You should be. It’s pink and that’s not natural. I am not natural I am a FREAK! Just look at my hair.” (Rinse. Repeat). Combine this with a Nohawk and there you go! A true hair original!

    Hair Concept 2

    The Face Frame by Adam Cavill

    This one is only achievable by men, mostly. A thin line of hair approximately one centimeter wide is grown all the way around the head. Including under the chin. Once the hair has reached a length of, say, 30 centimeters, it is waxed or glued straight out from the head forming a kind of hair “flower”, with hair becoming the “petals.” We called this one “The Face Frame.”

    Hair Concept 3

    The Hair Cravat by Adam Cavill

    This one is very subversive due to its subtlety. It’s best suited to men, but it’s really for the ladies, if you catch my drift. One can wear any hair style one wants on one’s head, we suggest the more conservative and straight arrow the better. It will only heighten the impact of your innovative hair exploration. Continue to shave as normal, all but the very lowest 3 centimeters of hair on your neck. Let it grow to a lovely, length, let it flow. You might choose to wear a turtleneck while you cultivate your “secret weapon.” Once it has reached a length of 30 centimeters, you are ready. Brush it, comb it straight down. Tuck it into the open collar of your best shirt. You are now sporting that most noble of extremity stylings, the Hair Cravat. You could even dye it to match outfits. I’d suggest burgundy if you wear browns. A colour to offset your eyes if you tend towards somber blacks and navys. Orange for Blue. Forest Green for Brown.

    Well there you have it. Send me a picture, hair explorer, and your t-shirt will be on its way. No tricks though, you suck at Photoshop.

      Those are some particularly interesting styles. While I have seen the nohawk before, the “Lion” instead of “Face frame has always intrigued me. The latter is truly unique, and I think would make for a great tie.

      You may also want to take a look around the photo galleries at http://www.mohawksrock.com/photo

      The featured ones have like
      - a purple bi-chelsea hawk,
      - a giant hawk,
      - a spider hawk and
      - even a little dog with red mohawk.

    Train Bicycle Conversation 

    Kevin and Joshua

    I met Joshua (4) and Kevin (6) on the train today. They were pretty interested in my bike. Probably because it looks fancy. Apparently Kevin is getting one soon, it will be red with training wheels at first then he’s gonna take them off. Joshua is going to get a pink bike, even though it is for girls. Kevin is going to get a red, orange and blue bike. He is gonna get a rainbow bike. Joshua is going to get a green bike. And a blue bike.

    Joshua said, “I like all my colors.”

    Kevin said, “I like them too.”

    I said, “I totally agree with you guys colors are ALL right.”

      Dear Mr. Cavill,
      We appreciate the need to assimilate, but we, as your home and native Land, feel the appropriate response to these fine young boys should have been, “I totally agree with you guys colours are ALL right.”

      Fondest regards,
      CANADA

    Situation Flat: Target Fake Chucks 

    Convert Superstars by Adam Cavill

    I discovered that there is a target about a mile form where I work. Target is an everything type of store, like Tesco when they sell clothes or K-mart (if it still exists). I decided to walk there to get an inner tube.

    I wear these off-shore pretend Converse at work. If you walk two and half miles in them you get really really sore feet. They are so flat (edit: FLAT LIKE MY TIRE, HAHAHAHAHA). So if you get some fake Converse only use them to hang around the house or just to go next door.

      I saw an advertisement in the Marie Claire magazine that I was reading at the gym that says women are supposed to get special inserts to put inside their flat “sneaks” because sometimes women assume they are going to be as comfortable as regular sneaks AND THEN THEY’RE NOT. The magazine said that the fix for this is a pair of gel insoles and then you will feel much better. Only it wasn’t the magazine that said this so much as an ad for insoles that said this. But I still trust them! (But they might only be for women)

      I think insoles are in order. Those gelly ones for Dr. Scholls.

    Situation Flat: No Train Pass 

    Balloon Man Commuting by Adam Cavill

    I got a flat tire on my bicycle this morning. It was 8.30. My train leaves at 8.38. To cycle the remaining distance would have taken about two minutes. It took about eight minutes to get there on foot. When I got to the gate my monthly train pass was missing from my wallet.

    That’s the way to do it!

    UPDATE

    New Jersey is covered by a layer of broken glass. That explains why I carry a flat tire kit with me. I had replaced the punctured inner tube, reinstalled my wheel and was pumping new air into the tire when I noticed something… The way I was holding the pump made it look like I was doing something dirty to myself. I moved to a less sexy looking pumping position and broke the valve of my replacement inner tube.

    NOW THAT REALLY IS THE WAY TO DO IT!
