Imagine: A dazzling display of rippling muscles at your desk any time you like. Yay. http://www.monkeychops.karoo.net/mistertweakathon.... >> Lady in Red Valentine Vid << Who could forget the moving strains of Chris De Burgh singing Lady in Red? Phil Price couldn't, and has enhanced the experience with a badly animated dog. Surprisingly touching. http://www.philprice.net/flash/valentines/ >> Socks Reunited << Fall to your knees and give thanks to Mnb098mnb, who's made a site to help find your lonely socks a partner. His slightly deluded but endearing plan of action is to stick photos of your odd sock on the site and see if anyone has matching ones. http://www.lonelysocks.co.uk >> Fluffy the Penguin Goes Skiing << Thomas Scott has made a fluffy little animation telling the story of a penguin who went skiing. What happens next? Find out. http://www.thomasscott.net/flash/penguin/ ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates. >> Gay Boyfriend Video << Wank me with a spoon. This made us laugh. But not too much - that would be homophobic. Whatever, enjoy this beautifully shot video about the benefits for girls of dating bummers. [link removed on request of owner] >> World's Greatest Streakers << Naked people. Yay. And it's not porn. It's sport. Big muffs on the 70s ladies though. Not that that's bad. In fact we love it. http://www.streaking.co.uk/halloffame01.htm >> Tree with a Big Cock << Isn't nature wonderful? Constantly making rude shapes for us to giggle at. There's also a bush with a cunt. Skill. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/naturesex.html >> Japanese Pencil Carving << We don't know what it is about Japan, but it seems to have an unending supply of highly skilled and slightly mental craftsmen. The latest example is carving pencils into intricate shapes. They have tiny hands, you see. http://www.infofreako.com/jad/pencil/17yokoten-e.h... >> Donkey Kong Jr << Blimey, this is the most anal game emulation ever. They've taken a real Nintendo handheld, scanned it in and made it interactive. It's still a dog to play but their attention to the most minor of details makes it almost lyrically beautiful. http://www.backtothefuture.nl/donkey.htm >> Tricky Block-Moving Game << Alone this Valentine's day? This will keep you from cutting off your nose because it reminds you of your father. Extraordinarily difficult, but obviously good. The game that is. http://www.crystalnewmedia.com/gridlock/gridlock.h... ------------------------------------------------- : B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE Results from the Cockney Rhyming Slang Challenge Each week we run a competition to test your creative skills. We set a challenge and you open Photoshop and mess with our heads. Last week we wanted you to photoshop a new phrase in cockney rhyming slang: http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/cockney/ We asked B3ta boarder 'Evil Pixie' to judge the entries - here are her 3 faves. Evil Pixie writes - "It's been really hard deciding! I tried to come up with a combination of good 'shoppery, humour and some phrases that had a chance of being used in the real world..." #1 "For good technical ability, bizarre logic and very cute mice" (son_of_crazymum) http://www.b3ta.com/board/784478 #2 "For making a cow wearing underpants look like an everyday occurrence. he looks like he enjoys them too, obviously a comfortable pair" (eclectech) http://www.b3ta.com/board/776728 #3 "For making frogs wearing traffic cones seem like the ultimate fashion accessory" (TooMuch2AM) http://www.b3ta.com/board/786075 "And an honourable mention for hiltono for showing the army up to be the wankers that they are. And for making me laugh lots." http://www.b3ta.com/board/771989 >> This Week's Challenge << This week, B3ta contributor Dr Phil Kitten gave us the suggestion, "Dogs with amusing noses." http://b3ta.com/challenge/dogswithamusingnoses/ ------------------------------------------------- : WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
