Breakfast Links: Kidnapping, Ricky Schroeder & TV Themes

First post-snow Monday Art.

Awesome! We (America) just told those lobsterbacks that we can go and kidnap British citizens if we damn well pleased. Those wig wearers thought that we were only talking about kidnapping those involved in terrorism but we got the last word in when we told them that our law applies to anyone suspected of a crime by Washington. No wonder we have such a positive image in the world! If anyone doesn’t like ‘em we’ll just kidnap the crap out of them. Oh wait…

I know from the title you thought that perhaps someone had kidnapped Ricky Schroeder! Intentional! But false, no… what I’m talking about is ol’ Ricky’s badass phone from Silver Spoons. Half telephony device, half skull crushing weapon this was the must have device of the early 80’s - now you can have all the nostalgia and like 1/10 the weight. That’s right with the Mini “MOB” you get the brick but at a diminutive 11cm x 3.5cm (or for us yankees, 4.3″x1.4″). GSM baby, so if you’re thinking about giving up the iPhone you are in luck. (via)

And if you felt that that Silver Spoons reference was totally amateurish and you’d have gone with something way more better than perhaps you ought to put your ears and finger were your mouth is and check out the Name That Theme Song Game. That’s right a flash game that has more theme songs than you can shake a stick at and pits your wits against them. It’s pretty frakkin’ awesome and to place the cherry gently on top it also simply has a list of all the theme songs it has. This one, for instance. Or this one. I could go on all day. Seriously.
