This is a link post The Chemical Brothers in collaboration with Crystal CG : Velodrome (for the Olympics and the haters).
I'm not really a fan of this as it just makes me remember how good The Chems used to be, the animation is ok in parts (the effects of them going round the track are pretty cool), mainly posted as i thought some others may like it even if i don't.

This is a link post MYLOUDDAD - Yes, it's a Twitter feed but I think it's great.
It's the British counterpart to shitmydadsays but much more charmingly eccentric.

Sample tweets:
"THERE WAS NO HEALTH AND SAFETY BACK THEN. WE DRANK CANAL WATER AND SMOKED OUR DADS' FAGS, YOU NAME IT. MOST OF MY MATES ARE DEAD NOW."

"WHEN MARTIN AMIS WAS 8 HE SAW HIS DAD SHARING THOUGHTS WITH PHILIP LARKIN. WHEN I WAS 8 I SAW MY UNCLE KEN SHARING SOME CHEESE WITH A DOG."

He has a splendid line in dad jokes too:
"I WAS DRIVING ABOUT WITH AN INSECT ON MY CAR EARLIER. THEN I REALISED I HAD A BEE ON MY BONNET. WILL I REACH 100 IF I DRINK LONGLIFE MILK?"

A longer intro to the dad courtesy of Saga magazine.

Makes me grin like a shitting chimp every time I watch it.
