If your PBJ-making has been too pacifist lately, without enough violent smearing of peanut butter on your face or ripping off your shirt, here's a new spin on the kitchen activity. Maybe it's this guy's reaction to a bad batch of peanut butter? Warning: If you’re at work, turn down your volume and/or put on headphones before watching. The video, after the jump....

One involves a contagious yawn in a bizarro animated world inside the vending machine. The other, in a library where a pair of flirts exchange fluids in the form of Coke sketches on their arms. Both weird, but moderately captivating. The videos, after the jump....

How does a video of two kids performing a synchronized eyebrow dance sell Cadbury milk chocolate? Hell if I know. But I just increased their brand awareness, so I guess it's working. If you think you have eyebrow-dancing chops, sign up for Cadbury's Jivebrow 09. Watch the video after the jump....

This is for anyone who owns or has at one point owned any of the following: a personal gumball machine, a mini desktop fridge, a mini "olde-time" popcorn popper. It's a personal ramen noodle cup vending machine. In the video, which appears after the jump, the thing looks like more bother than it's worth. A vending machine—especially a Japanese one—is supposed to be all automated and whizz-bangy, but this one is little more than a hot-water kettle with a timer attached—mashed up with a novelty piggy bank. Still, the video is fun in that wacky-Japanese -appliance kind of way....

I'm not sure what to make of The Slammin' Salmon, the latest slapstick comedy from Broken Lizard (the same folks behind Beerfest and Super Troopers). Finally, a movie with salmon in the title! Basically, Michael Clarke Duncan's character runs a Miami seafood restaurant and challenges his waitstaff to make the most money in one night. They do crazy stuff, some of which is funny. The trailer, after the jump....

BBC News Charges have been dropped against Brian Clapton, an East London butcher whose early morning singing and meat-chopping prompted complaints from the tenant in the apartment above Clapton's shop. As Clapton tells BBC News: "I'll continue to sing and carry out my business. I can get by in the credit crunch." In response to the news, BBC Radio 6 Music will be playing a block of meat- and butcher-related songs at 6 p.m. London time, which is about an hour from now. So far, listeners have suggested "Start Chopping" by Dinosaur Jr., "Meathook," by the Cure, and "Sing for Your Meat" by Guided by Voices....

The New York Times has asked readers to ask John Hodgman questions. The blog Eat Me Daily has rounded up all the food-related questions so far. (Answers to come later this week.) They're nonsensical, but so are the areas of Hodgman's expertise. Hodgman, as you may know, is "PC" in the Mac commercials. Related: John Hodgman in a Pizza Box...

Illinois couple Paul and Caragh Brooks were married Friday evening at Taco Bell. Wedding favors included Taco Bell hot-sauce packets that read "Will you marry me?" Said Paul Brooks: "We're a little bit of an offbeat couple, so we figured that we wanted to have an offbeat ceremony, and Taco Bell is the closest thing we have to a church, so ... this is where we like to hang out; this is where we wanted to do it." Video, after the jump....

There's not much how-to advice, even online, for eating tuna eyeballs. Luckily Jesse of the site Flee Alaska seemed to figure it out. For only one hundred yen—that's less than a buck—the daredevil eater couldn't pass up this deal. Without any seasonings, the gelatinous ball went into a pot of boiling water. Conclusion: "not too bad." One part tasted like a hard-boiled egg. [via Neatorama]...

Photograph from cakespy on Flickr At first glance, I thought Jessie Oleson of Cakespy made a cake-topped version of candy salad, but it's a cake on top of a real salad—and the cake batter contains mayonnaise. Are you cringing? Jessie says this: If you're disgusted by this cake but you're one of the many who indulged in bacon-flavored baked goods in the past year, you take a long look at yourself in the mirror before you judge the mayo cake. Because what makes up mayonnaise—egg yolks, oil, vinegar—is all stuff that would go into a cake anyway. She said it was "the most dense, moist, rich cake we've ever made." Sounds good to me!
