superman meets seinfeld…again

At one time there was a rumor that Jerry Seinfeld was going to leave his show and start an ad agency. I thought it was a brilliant idea. It was right around the time of those Amex commercials that had Superman in them. I don’t remember the details, I but I remember thinking they were […]

thorax cake

I sort of wish this was an April Fool’s Day thing. But it’s not.. It’s a cake made to look like guts. Each organ is a different type of cake with a different disgusting filling.

Many people thought this was a hoax today.I think it’s real. Google has finally announced what many have predicted: they are adding webmail to their impressive offerings. The awesome this is, it looks like they are turning the whole thing on it’s head. GMail will have 1GB of storage for each user, for free. No […]

birthday destruction aftermath

I just want to thank everyone who attended the destruction party on Saturday. From what I hear, I had an AWESOME time. Unfortunately the memories are bit spotty for me.
Some of the highlights I CAN remember:
- A bottle of champagne was poured over my head.
- UCONN won 79 - 78.
- There was a […]

the end of the world is spelled Q-R-I-O

You all have seen the same story play out a hundred times. In Terminator. In Matrix. Robots decide in a nanosecond that humans must either be destroyed or harvested for energy. We all though that we were way to smart for that to happen to us. World domination by robots is just bad science fiction. […]

john holmes game

I don’t really know what to say about this excellent Flash game. Yes, it’s X-rated. No, it’s not for everyone. No, I didn’t write it. Yes, I should have. I guess it’s just another instance or “I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!”
Turn the sound down and cover your screens if you’re at work. […]

robot madness

I really don’t want to give the impression that I am afraid of robots. I am not. I welcome technological change. I am on my second iPod. I am not a luddite.
I am, however, cautious. As I explained before (when ranting about the QRIO), we need to learn from our science fiction. After all, most […]

dark dinner

The picture above is a quick shot I snapped at dinner with Stephanie tonight. There is nothing wrong with it.
At the last minute tonight, she invited me to a Cosmo party at a lower East Side restaurant called Suma. It was called Dinner-in-the-Dark, for good reason. After 45 minutes of barside mingling, all of the […]

Basically, you sign up for a free Kinja account, and then enter all of your favorite weblogs. You get a personal, public page that is a compilation […]

bribing NY

This is an awesome article about a guy who experimented with bribing his way into the best restaurants in NYC. It worked almost flawlessly in almost every restaurant from Balthazar to Alaine Ducasse, and it didn’t even cost him much money. The article is really well-written and entertaining, and you might learn something…I did.

subservient chicken

You have to see this. Simply tell the chicken to do something…and he will do it. Try “Dance” and “Running man” and “Go fuck yourself” and “Die” and “Roll over”and “breakdance” and a million other things. It’s awesome. Go see the subservient chicken right now.
Please post comments with great words if you find them.
[thanks Hahn.]

911 timeline

Good or bad. I don’t care. Conspiracy theorists will be all over some of this. I hate conspiracy theory nutbags.
The Center for Cooperative Research put up this amazingly detailed timeline of the events of 911 that must be seen to be believed. It is fascinating. I have only read about 10% and I have already […]

Saddam’s Interrogation Logs

Saddam’s Interrogation Logs by Brian M. Sack on McSweeney’s Internet Tendency blog are fucking hillarious. My favorite quote:
Interrogation commenced: 0330 hours
Woke SH quite early to catch him off-guard and groggy. I asked, “What’s your first name?” and he said, “Saddam.” Again I asked, “What’s your first name?” and he said, “Saddam.” I kept asking, […]

Everyone has already written about this, but Christen Nelson wrote an awesome story about her encounter at Crate and Barrel with Quentin Tarantino on hollywoodlog.com. She runs into him at The Grove in LA, and instantly became friends with him. They went shopping, had a blast, and exchanged phone numbers. It’s an awesome story. Christen […]

best comment of the month

I like to go poopy. How about you?
And you know what,
When i was little i had no sense,
I took a piss on an electric fence,
It hurt so bad it shocked my balls,
Then i took a crap in my overalls!
Now you see why i like to go poopy.
< Fishy
[Thanks Fishy. […]

superficial

Call me superficial, but I can’t turn off Fear Factor: Models right now. It’s not even very good. They are a bunch of crybabies. But there is just something about swamp-water filled bikini tops that just speaks to me…

more about me…

These things get emailed around sometimes. Stephanie did it, so I thought I would too. You are supposed to email it to your friends and see who does it, but I would rather just put it up here for everyone to read. It’s kind of dumb, but whatever. Here goes…
1.IF YOU COULD BUILD A HOUSE […]

depravity?

I am not squeamish. I have sought out and seen things on video and the web that would make most people puke. I have watched all of the Faces of Death videos. I am a huge fan of rotten.com. I have seen video of Japanese girls puking on each other. I have seen bestiality. I […]
