Lent

I'm thinking about giving up sex for lent, Big Stuff told me he's thinking about having sex for lent.

Gettin' Paid

On ESPN Tonight:

One of the ESPN Guys: And look who's there, President Barack Obama.

Jalen Rose: He might have to talk to Albert Hainsworth about that STIMULUS PLAN all that money he got!

Midgets are awesome

Hype, Hustle, Rip-Off

Some cool art form the Bill McMullen exhibit Hype, Hustle, Rip-Off.

Adventureland

This might have been on the blog before, not sure, but I'm excited.  Makes me wish I were in high school again and worked at an amusement park, and that I drank drugs.

Cool Song, Cooler Video

Awesome video, I've enjoyed everything I've heard from Kid Cudi and need to look into him further. Sorta has the same effect going as this video, sorta.

Great Year For Movies

I think this was a great year for movies. I haven't seen any of the nominees for Best Picture and I really need to get on that. Besides that, I think that The Wrestler and Gran Torino were fucking awesome. I'm gonna see Slumdog this week and prob work on the reader too, but as of right now The Wrestler is my movie of the year and if it were up to me Mickey Rourke would win every thing because his acceptance speeches would be awesome.

Weaves for the Troops!

This is insane. What would Don Imus call her?

Mustache Rides in the winter?

"Beard Head beard caps will protect your head from the cold and keep your upper lip and chin toasty warm, much like a real beard would!"

This is awesome. Unfortunately I don't think I'd have enough opportunities to wear one. I may take up skiing just so I could rock this like a champion. Buy yours at www.beardhead.com

Jarron Gilbert jumps out the pool

6'5" 290 lbs Squats 635 Deadlift 655

So, is the YouTube video of you jumping out of the shallow end of a swimming pool for real?

I've become a YouTube sensation. How it came about was, one day our strength coach said Adam Archuleta could jump out of a pool, and everybody was super amazed. I went out there one day -- it wasn't that big a deal to me -- and I just went and jumped out of the pool. I found out that I could do it, so I put it on film to make everybody else believe me.

Out of San Jose State and projects as a 2nd-4th rounder.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

AH I'M SO HYPE RIGHT NOW! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

My JCC League B-ball team just SHOCKED THE WORLD.  We are Certified.  We won our second game of the season and did it at the right time, in the first round of the playoffs.  The 12th ranked Gruber Law upset the 5th ranked Cafa B Data and are now moving to another possibly winnable game. 

While I didn't score 40 like two weeks ago (and no one on their team scored 66), I did manage to draw 3 offensive fouls on one of their players and foul him out of the game.  I'm pretty sure they were the 1st, 2nd and 3rd charges called all season.  

Other highlights include the 40 guys in the audience cheering us on, led by the head of the alleged dogfighting ring "Grim Reaper Kennels."  And one of the refs leaving the game with 13 minutes left in the second half and telling the league commissioner he "didn't feel safe" and "that's why I don't come down here."  Again, this league is at the JCC in the North Shore of Milwaukee, hood.

So it's on to the second round, what can you say now?

Another Judd Apatow Hit

Looks like a great one, good mix of serious and funny with a good story which I believe has set his movies apart.  Funniest line comes from Jonah at the end.

Pepsi Throwback

Ever had a Mexican Coke?  The reason they're so delicious is because the recipe for Mexican Coke calls for real sugar as opposed to the High Fructose Corn Syrup that is used in most sodas here in America.  Now pepsi has decided to release pepsi and mountain dew with real sugar and I am very excited.

Super Soaker 50

I bet everyone had one of these.  While it was never the best in your arsenal it was definitely a trusty fall back for backyard water fights.  A 20th Anniversary Edition is being released, so you can now relive the glory todays at your next BBQ.

This is why you're fat

Thisiswhyyourefat.com is a blog that collects wonderful pics of beautiful food.  The above pic is a Sloppy Joe on a Krispy Kreme donut, yum.  Other works of art include the Bacon Cheese Pizza Burger, Hot Dog Pie, Gravy Covered Pizza, and a Deep Fried Peanut Butter-Covered Brownie Wrapped in Cookie Dough.  It's reasons like this that I love America.

Also, has anyone seen the show Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel?  The show is amazing, great food, funny people, decent host.  My only problem with this show is how troubled I am in debating how awesome it would be to have this job.  Yeah, I'd love to get paid to go around and eat all this deliciousness, but damn consuming that much food is painful and really is a full-time job.

One of my brother's friends clogged our basement toilet, apologized

I guess there was shit everywhere.  Despite the nice apology he hasn't been back.

The Impossible Project

 If you didn't know Polaroid has stopped making film for the old instant cameras (this has been coming for a while, and I remember hearing stories of people loading up on film years ago).  But a new company has taken over their production plant in the Netherlands, not with the plan of remaking what Polaroid was, but finding a new way to make instand prints.

"Production of analog Instant Film stopped in June 2008, closing the factories in Mexico (Instant Packfilm production) and the Netherlands (Instant Integral production)."

The Impossible Project is the name of that company, and their goal is to have a new way of creating instant prints in the next year.  Pretty cool idea, and really cool way to market their product as opposed to just launching it normally.

Also check out the Polaroid PoGo, which is the first instant digital camera.

Really Cool Club

My House is a new hollywood club that's an awesome idea and looks like an insanely cool place to hang out.  This would be exactly what I look for in a club.  Sometimes while hanging out before going to bars you're having such a great time you don't really wanna go out to a club or a bar, and this just eliminates that.  The place has a club element to it, but also the laid back nature and options of a house party.  Awesome.

America still shocks me

Badass

Drill Sergeant Joe B. Fricks Rules For A Gunfight

1. Forget about knives, bats and fists. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring four times the ammunition you think you could ever need.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet if necessary, because they may want to kill you.


Finally, Drill Sergeant Frick's Rules For Un-armed Combat.

1. Never be unarmed.

People are real serious in the comments.

Be a Trojan Man

VC is awesome

I also think JR Smith's behind the back dunk was amazing, and so were all those dunks that AI put together a few years ago when he was robbed. But wow, the difference between an old dunk contest and what the worst dunkers can do in today's NBA is shocking.

I have a friend that looks just like a turtle.

Bye Bye Apocalypse T-shirt

Check out the Bye Bye Apocalypse shirt from Threadless . Threadless is a "community-based tee shirt company." The public submits designs, votes on the best, and then the best are produced and sold. If you submit a design you get paid (pretty well) and get your shirt produced and distributed through threadless. Pretty awesome little concept.

KAWS

Also, I have had the biggest crush on Serena Altschul since I first saw her on MTV News. She's almost 40 right now and I'm still in love.

Awesome Performance

That's some major talent, wealth, and power on stage.  It's cool to see 4 of the biggest rappers of our time all coming together.  I also like how each of them is wearing a tuxedos but their style, individuality and swag comes through differently.  I also think Jigga man is a don, I've never been a big fan of his but this performance just reminded me of how much of a mistake that is.  

It is kinda gross that they all ran a train on naked M.I.A. backstage after the performance though.

World's Largest Joing

Oh the sober fun we had in high school. Yeah, I know most people drank, but not as much as anyone did in college. I still think a case of dewskis used to get us more fucked up than a case of beer can today.

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

A comedy writer out of LA has taken Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (which I've never read but must be one of the most popular plays to put on at the high school/university level) and added in a whole bunch of new scenes with Zombies. While I fucking hate Pride and Prejudice, I think this concept is ingenious and I'm very tempted to read the book just to check it out. This could possibly open the door for a whole bunch of rewrites of classic novels, or perhaps even classic films? Isn't everything better with zombies?

Sidenote:I guess it's possible to rewrite the story because it is now out of copyright.

Of course Danny McBride has the funniest line in the trailer

From the director of The Foot Fist Way maybe since the trailer isn't that good the movie will be?

Lily Allen-The Fear

Gotta love how her lyrics just attack pop culture and our society and yet the song is so freakin cheery.  You can also check out her craziness (and boobs) over on What Would Tyler Durden Do?

"I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous"

"And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it’s how I’m program to function"

"Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I’m getting thinner"

Incredibad by The Lonely Island

The Lonely Island burst onto the scene with the SNL Digital Short "Lazy Sunday."  The truth is they've been doing it for a long time on their website, shot a few pilots, and finally caught a break when Andy Sandberg joined the SNL cast and later Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone joined as writers. Now they're releasing their first album, INCREDIBAD, which may be the first cd I buy in a very long time.  I'd love to make a bet right now that it wins the grammy for Comedy Album of the Year.  The ideas and lyrics of their songs are hilarious, and the production (as demonstrated above) is top 40 caliber.  Drops tomorrow.

Great Quote:

Diddy

What a crazy dude.  He's so shocked that somebody slipped a single in all his hundos.

Pretty sure Corbin has this t-shirt.

Schneider's Comment:

Today in the car the new Kelly Clarkson song "My Life Would Suck Without You" came on. Corbin goes "Ooo!, Hallie says this is our song." Gross.

Cool Umbrella

I generally think that umbrellas are like the least cool things, ever. I'd personally rather have sexy wet hair than have to carry around a freaking umbrella all day. Now if I had Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella I'd not only feel pretty hip, but people also wouldn't be able to tell apart the days I was carrying my umbrella or my replica samurai sword.

Sword'oeurves

I love the little swords and think these Sword'oeurves are awesome. I'm trying to find a place to buy them so I can order them for my roommates.

An offer you can't refuse

The horse head scene in The Godfather is one of the most classic scenes in movie history (I also think the studio head's house is one of the most amazing I've ever seen, as well as the Corleone compounds in NY and Lake Tahoe). Now you can learn how Jack Woltz felt every morning.

The Business School Way of Life

My boy Natedogg, former owner of exchange hut and currently livin' the dream outside the cube has a blog over at nathanlustig.com. Nate's one of the smartest kids I know and also one of the biggest hustlers. The kid's constantly working something and has not only been a successful entrepreneur, but he's become a symbol of what entrepreneurship can be, especially on college campuses, and has been an integral part of the Wiscontrepreneur program which has got to be one of the best in the country.

Anyway, a few weeks ago on his blog he touched off on what he considers "The Business School Way of Life", and here Revisited.

He raises some very good points on what people really get out of their business school education and what society is missing out on by some of the our smartest students heading to jobs in finance and banking. While not graduating from the business school is one of my biggest regrets, I am also incredibly thankful that I wasn't in the B-school. I know the demands of the B-school would have limited my opportunities for other experiences and I've always subscribed to what Mark Twain said "Don't let school get in the way of your education."

In many ways it's unfortunate that business school is so important to finding a job. I know I felt at a disadvantage not having it on my resume. But could the people who are business school students be doing something they like more and have more time on their hands to explore entrepreneurial options, or other careers?

I like what's going on here.

I wanna party with these guys, I bet they know how to get down.  

Reminds me a lot of the story of Stetson Kennedy who is featured in Freakonomics.  He worked to bring down the KKK by giving away their secrets and rituals and getting them published in Superman comics.  In the end, mocking them and having children using their codes and rituals was one of the best ways to bring down the KKK.

MTV Sunday Nights is back to where it's at

When Jackass first started there was no way you weren't watching Mtv on sunday nights, it just wasn't an option. I have a feeling that their new line up of shows may make sunday nights the same once again.

Rob, the smaller and whiter half of Rob and Big has taken all his money and turned a warehouse into a funhouse, let the games begin:


And following that is Nitro Circus which looks like Jackass but with extreme sport athletes taking the place of the jackasses. It appears the crew is led by Travis Pastrana, who deserves his own post and may get one later. I was watching something about him, and basically he went from being the hands down best motocross biker winning tons of xgames golds and everything and then just decided to move on to rally car racing and has become the best in the world at that two. Crazy. Anyway, here's Nitro Circus:

I think this is serious.

I want what this kid has.

The Snuggie is blowing up!  I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw the commercial I thought these were the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life.  On the other hand, when my dad saw the commercial he reacted the exact opposite way and decided he had to have it.  Not a bad move on his part, the Snuggie is comfy, warm, and a  in high demand when friends come over.  Get your snuggies (2 for around 35 bucks after shipping, plus a booklight!) here.
