A Ultimate action heroes movie quotes tribute!

This is a personal tribute to heroes in ACTION and VIGILANTE Movies, particularly the quotes they say before or after killing/kicking the bad guy’s ass…

Though In my opinion a few good ones are missing, I’ve found it pretty complete!

Hello mates!

Back again in Frucomerci so that means that I don’t have much to do in my job! 2 Sundays ago, Fruco (aka Morsa), Arantxa (Txapas), Pablico and me went to see some amateur bands gigs in Camden Town!

I was very impressed with these guys “Boypatient”! Great performance! The sound was great and the music they play sounds compact smart and deep! The voice reminds me sometimes to Radiohead. The main guitarist apart form pulling some really funny faces during the show played some classy tunes! Hope you like it! Listen at least to Reckless, that in my opinion is the best tune they have and the one they used to open the show!

Take care!

tolkymonkys

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Tolkymonkys is definitely one of my favourites tshirt shops, example below :)

So I?ve decided to interview someone who likes to wear clothes from Tolkymonkys and ask him some questions. Here we go:

Frucomerci interviewing Frucomerci about Tolkymonkys:

What is the thing you like most about Tolkymonkys? Apart from the originality, I love that every character has its own story.

How many items of clothing do you have from them? 4/5 tshirts and 1 jumper.

Which is your favourite character? HIKIKO “the mime” (the one in the photo)

Why? Because he is from Barcelona (like me) and is addicted to videogames. Old school gamer, of course!

Do they only deliver to Spain? No. A few months ago they started to ship to Europe and America.

Do they only make t-shirts? They specialize in t-shirts (for boys and girls) but they?ve got also hoodies and posters. On the website you can find and download avatars and wallpapers of the characters.

Is the website only in Spanish? No way - the website is also in English… More international.

Do they have Flickr account? Yes, they are very internet-focused. They even have a blog

Would you recommend them? Why do you think I am interviewing myself? :)

Thank you very much for your time. No worries, Respect!

LOL! Nina has sent me a couple of pretty funny videos for frucomerci.com



Note that this is NOT a real translation, subtitles say what he thinks the song sounds like in English.

You can watch a few more from the same guy (Buffalax): Another 1, Another 2

creative pizza orders

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Friday… weekend! Are you going feel very comfortable on your sofa and too lazy to cook something? You’re going to order a pizza, aren’t you?

pizzaphoneorder.jpg

Here you are some creative ways to order pizza and make it a bit funnier!

1. If using a touch-tone phone, press random numbers while ordering. Ask the person taking the order to stop doing that.

2. Use CB lingo where applicable.

3. Order a Big Mac Extra Value Meal.

4. End the call with, “Remember, we never had this conversation.”

5. Answer their questions with questions

6. Tell them to put the crust on top this time

7. Do not name the toppings you want, rather, spell them out

8. Stutter on the letter “p”

9. Ask what the order taker is wearing.

10. Say hello, act stunned for five seconds, then behave as if they called you.

11. Tell the order taker you’re depressed. Get him/her to cheer you up.

12. Change your accent every 3 seconds

13. Order 52 pepperoni slices prepared in a fractal pattern as follows from an equation you are about to dictate. Ask if they need paper.

14. If they repeat the order to make sure they have it right, say, “Okay, that’ll be $9.99; please pull up to the first window.”

15. Rent a pizza

16. Ask if you get to keep the pizza box. When they say yes, heave a sigh of relief.

17. Imitate the order taker’s voice

18. Eliminate verbs from your speech

19. Say it’s your anniversary and you’d appreciate if the deliverer hid behind some furniture waiting for your mate to arrive so you can surprise him/her.

20. Ask what topping goes best with well-aged Chardonnay.

21. Order a slice, not a whole pizza

22. Order two toppings, then say, “No, they’ll start fighting.”

23. Use expletives like “Great Caesar’s Ghost” and “Jesus Joseph and Mary in Tinsel Town.”

24. Wonder aloud if you should trim those nose hairs.

25. Start the conversation with,”My call to Pizza Place, Take 1, and… action!”

26. Ask if the pizza is organically grown

27. When listing toppings you want on your pizza, include another pizza.

28. Learn to play a blues riff on the harmonica. Stop talking a regular intervals to play it.

29. Teach the order taker a secret code. Use the code on all subsequent orders.

30. Mumble, “There’s a bomb under your seat.” When asked to repeat that, say, “I said, ’sauce smothered with meat.’”

31. Make the first topping you order mushrooms. Make the last thing you say, “No mushrooms, please.” Quickly hang up.

32. Order with a Speak-n-Spell where applicable.

Yesterday I was messing around and typed “Salou” (the village where I grew up) into Flickr.com (in my opinion the best management and sharing application for photos and “long photos” :) )

To my surprise, instead of pictures of tourists red as lobsters, really nice pictures showed up, and most of them were taken by Aitor Escauriaza

May be a lot of photoshop but good ones anyway.

Check more pictures from Aitor Escauriaza here .

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

A few days ago I wrote a post with a video in which a Spanish band is singing trying to sing in English… That was nothing, check out this version of “in the guetto” (you will know it because it was made popular by Elvis Presley)

Same question again: who said Spaniards don?t know to speak English? :p

Thanks Pilun!

url is old-fashioned

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

The image below is a representation of this site in QR code, a two-dimensional bar code that allow its contents to be decoded at high speed (by a mobile phone for example). QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional code. Companies have started to give this code instead of traditional url’s…

tagmore.jpg

You can get your own code for your site at www.tagmore.com

Select what information you want to encode: a website link, some text, or a phone number to dial, and turn it into a visual tag that can be scanned using a camera phone.
Simply start typing away the text you want converted and watch the mobile code being generated instantly.

Sorry, but if your site does not have QR code you are not cool anymore!

So you don’t have enough money to buy a Nintendo DS? Are you too lazy to move your ass to a shop to buy one? Why don’t you try and make one of your own?



Surprisingly, this one started working…

As I use to say, people have too much free time…

very well manuel

“My tailor is rich and my mother’s on the kitchen”

Who said Spaniards don’t know to speak English?

Wow! Oquiroga has just sent me a link to this.

You can click and drag to pan around and zoom in and out using the usual google map interface or view the map full screen

Is just a presentation but a company is currently working on a render farm of 250 or so processors for their London model and they expect to have it in movie form soon…

I can’t wait to see it live and finished!

Flickr has just been updated, adding a feature that allows you to upload, tag and flag short videos alongside of your photos (if you are a “pro” user).

I was happy with photos only, let’s see how things go for flickr now with this new video feature…
