Just in time for MOVEMBER, the “Moustair”

By web gangsta | Published: November 23, 2011

Are you one of those guys who decided to grow a mustache for Movember, to bring awareness for men’s health issues?

Some of you may remember that Web Watch brought Movember to your attention a few years ago, and we’re thrilled that it’s grown into the worldwide phenomenon that it has become, in part because of us.

Decorating the office with Post-It Notes

By web gangsta | Published: August 27, 2011

Post-it Notes

When non-destructive, office pranks can be fun.

Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with inflated balloons? Fun. Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with Silly String? A little bit of a mess to clean-up, and usually left to the victim to do so on their own.

Web Watch has even covered an entire office’s items in tin foil and wrapping paper. Definitely time-consuming and an absolute waste of money, but entertaining. The best one we did was sheetrocking over the boss’s office door and painting the wall so it looked like the office was never there in the first place. Oh, we’re still laughing about that one.

But sometimes it’s nice to include others in your office shenanigans.

Make your own Customized Crayola Crayon Box

Crayola Crayon 64 64-crayon Crayolas

There is a hierarchy of crayons in school.

The average child starts out with the standard 8-color box of Crayola crayons. Web Watch is quite fond of this one, as we never really got past the fact that there are different color Reds and Blues in today’s world. To us, it’s either “red” or “blue”, with none of those various shades.

As you got older, you would get the 16 or 24-count box of Crayolas.

Eventually, you’d be lucky enough to get the holy grail: the famed 64-count box of Crayola Crayons with the built-in sharpener in the box.

Eventually, even that was too boring, and Crayola came out with the 128-count box. Yeah, those kids were living the good life. They may not have been able to draw worth a darn, but they had all the tools available if they tried.

Tattoo Nation: Portraits of Celebrity Body Art

Do you have any tattoos?

If so, are they the same old ones that everyone else has, such as a tribal armband, butterfly on the hip, or an oriental letter on the back of your neck?

Yeah, you thought getting a tattoo would make you unique – but because you got the same tattoo that everyone else has gotten, you’re really just following the crowd.

Monkeys may have thumbs, but they can’t draw worth a damn

Paul Frank's Julius Monkey
Paul Frank’s Julius

That old adage, about putting a million monkeys into a room with a million typewriters and eventually they’ll write the collective works of Shakespeare, may not necessarily be a realistic statement anymore.

At least if by “writing Shakespeare” is the same as “painting art masterpieces”.

So says a recent study from Boston University that says that PEOPLE PREFER ART PAINTED BY OTHER PEOPLE, AND NOT BY MONKEYS. We know, how could you go wrong with something like this?

Want some twisted takes on Disney Princesses? Check out Jeffrey Thomas’ art gallery

By web gangsta | Published: November 27, 2009

The other day, Web Watch wrote about Brianna Garcia’s artistic take on the Disney Princesses.

Compared to this artist, Brianna’s princesses are all sugar and spice and everything nice, because JEFFREY THOMAS’ PRINCESS ART has a decidedly different twist.
