I didn't even know there was a Pole Dancing World Cup!
This is Safe for Work, but for some members (who shall remain nameless) you should probably have paper towels ready.

I was going to post the Zombin Laden one but someone beat me to it. So, here is the next best thing

As I as posting my latest Halloween pics.
In the "Random HoC Story box" was this story: Why Revek should keep his mouth shut. Of course I had refresh my memory of it. I think I am going to laugh all night now. And of course this reminded me of several other times that revek fell victim to HoC abuse. Too many look for but here is something I am sure all of you will remember. It seems to have disappeared! http://www.herdofcats.ca/?q=node/1879

But never fear here it is:

Well as I mentioned in the Halloween 2011 - Part 2a Interim... Huge oopsy! post, I messed up my first attempt at making the armour. Luckily not all was lost so here is attempt number two.

I used one of my volleyball jerseys to draw out the base

I started to make the armor. I shaped and cut the whole thing for my size. However I messed up big time as I didn't take into account the "bulking" of the Armour. This made it to "flat" Not all was lost though at least I realized this before I started gluing the pieces together.

Cutting out a new armor base tonight. This is hard as I can not really shape it properly. Gonna have to call one of my lady friends to help.

I have also discovered how much fun a hot gun, rotary tool and hot knife can be.

I may even take a little break to play GoW3...

let's hop this doesn't become common...

Internet customer names sought for Hurt Locker suits
Three Canadian internet service providers have until the end of Monday, Sept. 12, to hand over the names of customers suspected to have illegally shared The Hurt Locker movie online.

"What makes this a particularly noteworthy case is it's the first big peer-to-peer copyright litigation in Canada in a number of years", said Michael Geist, a law professor at the University of Ottawa who holds a Canada Research Chair in internet and e-commerce law.
Geist said under existing Canadian copyright law, defendants could be liable for up to $20,000 in damages.

Bell, Cogeco and Vidéotron received a federal court order Aug. 29, signed by Judge Michel Shore, ordering them to provide the names and addresses of accused customers within two weeks. The customers in question are linked to internet addresses called IP addresses that are alleged to have been used to illegally copy and distribute the movie using peer-to-peer file-sharing applications.

First "sealing"

My original costume idea proved to be too difficult to accomplish this year. So, I had a back up plan. Since Gear of War 3 is being released this month. I decided to make a GoW costume.

I am starting by making the lancer.

The Beginning

From Tim Cook's Google+ feed (if it is really him)

We have finally figured out why so many of our employees have forgotten or lost their iPhone prototypes in bars.

It is because they have had one too many mactinis.

I wonder if this is a lame attempt at being funny. To cause him to be accepted.

This is way too damn cool for words.
Not sure if it is fake or whatever if not,
It always amazes me how these Nature people capture this stuff.
With the music and slow motion make it even more awesome!

Man, I think Crapple is doing this on purpose...

To shamelessly "self pomote" the diePhone 5 like it did the 4

Prime example of how some people are socially inept. Including world champions.

If it was me, I would play along pretending it's a joke, no social (ahem PUA) skills whatsoever. All that being said she is kind of a pre-judgemental biatch.
