The Busker's Handbook

Posted by Queuebot in Funny, Music on July 22, 2009 at 3:19 am

What are the rules that you have to follow when you want to be a busker? Which songs can or shouldn’t you play? This funny blog is your guideline, including a diary of an unfortunate busker. Consider this excerpt from a post called "Natural Enemies: The Busker’s Nemeses":

Living statues earn money doing as little as possible. Wearing greenish outfits covered in (hopefully) fake pigeon shit, they are the vertical equivalent of a coma patient. People give them money just to watch them move. That would be like giving money to a busker to make him stop singing. Yes, even inanimate people get more attention than a busker and thus more money. It’s tempting to steal their income, but as immobile as they may seem, they will chase you even if it ruins their act.

Medieval Guide to Wearing Pants by Kasey McMahon

Posted by Alex in Fashion, Funny on January 22, 2009 at 3:57 pm

Artist and Graphic designer Kasey McMahon used 16th century illustrations to create a silly fashion guide on pants and how to wear or NOT wear them. I’m particularly drawn to this prophetic guide: Don’t Wear Acid Washed Jeans.

Link – Thanks Kasey!

If the name Kasey McMahon seems vaguely familiar, that’s because she created the world famous CompuBeaver (previously on Neatorama here).
