Hey that looks terrible!


Ok, So if you guys already know who Uwe Boll is, then I apologize for posting a “Hey have you guys heard of these Lolcatz?” –type blog. But if you don’t, you are in for a treat!


Here is a list of Fun facts about Uwe Boll


1. Uwe Boll is a German director who makes terrible, terrible movies based on videogames.


2. His film In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale. Cost $60 million to produce.


3. It made $10 million.


4. When critics, almost unanimously, pan his films he challenges them to boxing matches (for real!) or calls them “retards.”


5. For some reason he holds a doctorate.


6. He’s able to finance his films because, in his own words “[T]he reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."


7. He’s currently working on a film entitled Darfur.


…wait what? That’s a terrible joke Funbox, not cool!


No FOR REAL!

Boba!

DRINK THIS!

In case you don’t know what boba (or ‘bubble tea’ for the round eyes) is, it’s a tea or fruit drink with tapioca balls in it. It’s super num!

I love boba, but I have to wonder who the first person was to say, “Hey this smoothie is great, but you know what would make it even better? If it had something black in it that you had to struggle to suck up through a straw.”*

The other Day I was talking on the phone and my girlfriend mouthed the words “do you want? ...” and then made this ‘sucking gesture’ and bobbed her head up and down. I hurriedly hung up the phone and was all exited, then I found out she meant ‘Do you want to get some Boba?’ I wasn’t even mad! We were going to go get Boba!

How can you not like boba? It’s a drink with Puddin’ in it!
