Barbara hates me

I was sending Barbara links of unattractive people while she was eating: “Now I understand why my fortune teller would said I would have stomach problems.  It’s because I’m friends with a**holes like you.”

Presented without comment: the Young Cons anthem

Kudos to them for even making this at Dartmouth… And to the one who said he was 6’9″: call me.

Obama effect in the UK: Diversity beats Susan Boyle

Diversity is a men’s street dance group made up of three sets of brothers and their friends (ages 12-25).  Not going to lie, Simon’s smile is almost as worthwhile a reason to watch as the dancing itself.  Almost, but not quite. Enjoy their initial (impressive) audition. And then watch their KILLER final performance that won [...]

Killer dating advice from my mother

So my parents have been married for 40 years and have never dated anyone except each other.  As a result, my mother provides particularly awesome dating advice. Please enjoy today’s gem: Mommy: Listen, if he slips a mickey into your drink, then once you feel woozy, you should jump in a cab by yourself and [...]

For your enjoyment…

Stavros Flatley from Britain’s Got Talent — honestly one of the most upbeat clips I’ve ever watched. Do you like explosions and boobs? If yes, enjoy this SFW link from Eric.

Meghan McCain is not my friend anymore

So I made a comment on Twitter about Meghan McCain’s jewelry on the Colbert Report: Turns out, Meghan was none too pleased: Sorry, Meghan, didn’t think it was that offensive.  I guess pro-sex Republicans who didn’t take econ also can’t handle a relevant pop culture comparison?

You’ve all probably been missing Barbara almost as much as I have

Looks like she’s taken up with a different crowd:

It’s so tough to be a Yankees fan without the YES Network…

Alone in a new city, stranded without my favorite summer network (YES!)… life is tough for a Yankees fan.  On the upside, for the first time in 3.5 years, I’m not working exclusively with Red Sox fans (I’m talking to you Lydia, Polly, Erin, Kim, etc, etc, etc…) But tonight, my beloved boys of summer [...]

Reality TV Round Up

The Good: Shaheen advances on Britain’s Got Talent.  Video won’t embed, but it’s a must watch! Watch your back, Susan Boyle! The Bad: Danny Gokey wants to be on Dancing with the Stars. Hmmm… let’s see Danny, can you dance?  No!  Are you a star?  No!  Me thinks you’re a bit underqualified for this one. [...]

“Costumes, foreplay, climax and overall entertainment value will all be mercilessly judged. There are only two rules: keep your clothes on, and fake the orgasm.”

As a hump day special, Eric wanted to make sure you all knew about the best thing to come out of Canada since Kelly: Air Sex. Former champions include Sad Larry who took home the crown and an adult-themed trip to Nevada last year. Sad Larry won for his depiction of a forlorn man making [...]

Definitely the first time this tattoo artist saw the Born Oppenheimer Approximation

This dude can pretty much out-nerd anyone: Via Discover Magazine

Please enjoy this moment of cultural anthropology from Jesse

Too many quotes for me to handle.  Also, I’m fascinated by Jon the bouncer: Via Jesse

So yeah, this New Yorker cover was “fingerpainted” on an iPhone

No judgements, but the artist must have tiny fingers. Via Gizmodo.

Here’s where I come from

Don’t I have the most beautiful backyard in the world? And in case you wondered why I’m so weird, it’s because THIS is my father:

This is gross

and furthermore, it is shocking to me that no one he is talking about this with seems to be horrified or express concern for what’s obviously a major health problem. Link is courtesy of Mike, so if you find bathroom humor amusing, consider him for the Unterekkie next month.  (Eric’s taste seems to be less [...]

If you told me to go shopping at “The Bang Bang Lady,” I probably would NOT expect to buy fireworks
