Keeping up with my obsession of posting all the cool abandoned places posts I find on the net, here’s a great one from Web Urbanist featuring 15 war-related ruins. The mansion in Talisay City is stunning, I wanna go there and play.

Hi, I'm just a crazy writer who spends too much time online.
If you’re like me, you’ll love this concept of trains with private seating pods. I think it would be ideal if two people could mutually agree to open their pods together if you’re traveling together, but traveling alone is a far, far improvement over the existing “hope a stranger doesn’t molest or rob you” method of public transit. Of course, maybe I just like that idea because I’m anti-social.
The one drawback I really see as impassable, what do you do with the pervs and junkies who violate the very privacy they long for?
Then why not give yourself elf ears? That’s right, you too can be less attractive and more of a geek all in one swift move.

Dogville Shorts
At Comic Con, I was lucky enough to be introduced to the brilliance that is the Dogville shorts. These “Barkies” are hilarious, perhaps animal abuse, but hey…it was the 20’s. You won’t believe how cute the costumes are, particularly on some of the girl dogs. They actually have plots. Bad plots for the most part, but the adorable dogs with decent enough plots actually make them worth watching. Plus, I’ve decided they are the ultimate party/bar films for something that people will look up at and say “WTF,” without actually stopping to watch the screen for too long.
These short films using dogs as actors were collected and compilled into one bootleg DVD that you can buy from this site. I’m not trying to sell these to you, but I will say this DVD was the best thing I bought at the comic con and that’s the only place I can seem to find them for sale.
Mon Calamari wanna Leia sounds like a bad Hawaiian fish joke, but it’s actually a bad Star Wars wedding joke in this case. Man, I wish I was invited to go. I wonder if he took of the mask for the wedding night fun time.
Thanks Neatorama.
