Police arrested a young man in a monkey suit who claimed his only motive was to bring some fun and happiness to city shoppers.
“Basically me and my friends decided we would go into the city dressed in the monkey suit to bring a bit of fun and happiness to the place.
“As soon as we got off the train we could see people smiling and heaps of people started following us down the street,” he said.
“Girls were coming up for hugs, guys were coming up for photos, some guys were coming up for hugs, everyone loved it.”
Everyone, that is, but the police. When they requested the young man’s info, he simply made squeaky noises (like a monkey, I assume) which didn’t go over well. After paying a visit to the East Perth Police station, the young man went back to the city to catch the train and was arrested for a second time by the same police officer.
Man, I guess it was just a bad day to wear a monkey costume!
What’s the perfect way to have a rockin’ marriage ceremony if you’ve already been married before and you don’t want a traditional white wedding?
Get married as the lovable Bedrock cartoon characters, of course…which is precisely how two couples from Norfolk, England, recently started their new life together.
One couple dressed as Fred and Wilma Flintstone, the other as Barney and Betty Rubble. Their wedding pictures were snapped at a dinosaur park with 165 guests dressed as cavemen and women and two best men dressed as dinosaurs.
While the ceremony started with the traditional organ sound of Wagner’s Bridal March, it quickly morphed into an organ version of The Flintstones theme tune and the couples had a tiered wedding rock cake.
As a kid, I loved the idea of the existence of mermaids.
According to dozens of “eye witnesses” in the town of Kirvat Yam, Israel, my belief in mermaids is not just a child’s far fetched fantasy.
Recently, believers swear they’ve seen the mythical creature…in the flesh. A $1.2 million reward is being offered to anyone who can prove, by photo or capture, that mermaids do exist.
Many of the sightings have occurred at sunset, attracting crowds of tourists, and locals, hoping to snap a picture of the half girl, half fish who jumps like a dolphin, does all kinds of tricks, than disappears.
The town council, which is offering the reward, maintains that the mermaid craze is not a marketing ploy to draw tourists, though it hopes they’ll come to their town anyway and try their luck at the million dollar prize.
That town may get more than they bargained for. I, for one, hope the mermaids get the better of them.
Some men teach chipmunks to sing, others use them as creative photographic props.
Photographer, Chris McVeigh, is on friendly terms with the chipmunks in his parents’ backyard and as long as he gives the cute little critters almonds, they are willing to be photographed with McVeigh’s old Star Wars Action figures.
These pictures are so cute, I can hardly stand it.
I just have two questions…will a groundhog work just as well (I’ve got plenty of those in my backyard)? AND What do I feed them so they’ll play nice with my Lord of the Rings action figures?
As a child, I listened to audio versions of classic fairytales. One of my favorites was “Rapunzel” and I remember laying on the floor on rainy afternoons, closing my eyes as the narrator’s storytelling unfolded in my imagination.
I felt like I was there in the tower when the prince climbed Rapunzel’s hair only to find himself face to face with the witch. I was devasted when he was blinded from his tower fall and overjoyed when he was reunited with Rapunzel and regained his sight. What a story!
As an adult, with bills, errands and work to worry about, it’s a little harder to fire up the imagination without a little help from Disney so I was extremely excited to see these concept art photos for Disney’s animated film version of “Rapunzel”:
“…this new telling of the classic fairy tale, will transport audiences to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses. Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair, lots of hair.”
Rapunzel will be in theaters just in time for the Holidays, in December 2010. Until then, maybe dad will let me borrow those old fairytale story audios…I think I’d like to let down my hair and take a whimsical journey through my imagination.
But before I go, here are my suggestions for a child and adult Rapunzel costume:

Sumo costumes make for some pretty amusing Halloween costumes. But that’s not all they’re good for. Imagine being a contender for the Sumo Suit Athletics World Championships!
Thirty competitors in cumbersome Sumo wrestling suits gathered at London’s Battersea Park to participate in the second annual Sumo Suit Athletics World Championships. The silly sports event included five disciplines, including the high jump and 100m sprint.
Take a look:
Think you’re a good candidate for Sumo Sports? Stage your own silly sports event and invite your friends and family or make it an activity at your school or church event. Hey, why not consider this wacky costume event for your family reunion, pitting family against family for a gag trophy and maybe some movie tickets? There’s no telling what kind of fun you can have when you throw costumes into the mix!
