"What I Should Have Said Was Nothing."
2/18/2008 11:06:53 AM

Here's excerpts from my friend Mike Birbiglia's show on Comedy Central. Funny! Actually, he's not really my friend. He's my friend Chris's friend. I've never met him. But he did leave comments on my blog one time. ANY-way, I randomly flipped over to Comedy Central the other night, and he had a hour-long special, and it was one of those moments of 35% excitement where I was like: "Hey! It's that guy! ...That I almost sort of know. Um."

Anyway, I watched the whole show to make sure that he didn't suck and that he was funny. He didn't suck. He's funny. If you ever get a chance to see the show, I highly recommend the part about giving a speech at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Good stuff. Enjoy.

Bonus update: Ah ha. Here's part of the baseball story. Found it! ...But it's only part of the story. Come on, "Comedy Central"! You cut the section about the blind guy. That's the best part! What's the deal there? ...Anyway.

Snuggly the Security Bear explains warrentless wiretapping.
2/18/2008 10:01:24 AM

By my favorite political cartoonist, Mark Fiore. It's Snuggly the Security Bear! Explaining the Bush Adminstration's unconstitutional expansion of the FISA Act! Remember: it's not "illegal" ...it's "love."

Friday Morning Round-Up

1) Hedgehog vs. Carrot. Baby hedgehog = motherfucking cute. I had no idea.





2) Guy builds a robot out of Legos that can solve Rubik's Cube. I was so disproportionally impressed by this one, and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I could never solve Rubik's Cube. Maybe it's because I could never build anything with my Legos besides the fairly unimpressive "Wall of Bricks." Maybe it's because my attempts to create a robot have been limited to me making beeping noises and saying things like, "Eye-am-a-robot." Maybe it's some combination of the three.





3) Japanese McDonald's commerical. Don't watch this the whole way through; you'll go crazy. Or have an insane mind/body nervous breakdown like that guy at the end of "2001".





4) The Polaroid "Swinger" - 1965: In honor of the end of the instant camera, here's a vintage camera commerical. Featuring Ali McGraw! And the music of Barry Manilow! And you've got to love anything featuring white people dancing awkwardly on the beach. Question: did real white people actually ever dance on the beach, or is that just a myth created by bad 60s movies?





5) "Pie Face" -- fun for the whole family! And here's yet another vintage commercial. Really, this seems less like a game, and more like an early development of CIA interrogation techniques. ...So ...you turn the lever... until the thing hits you in the face? God, human beings are strange creatures sometimes. And I like how "Mom" gets in on the action at the end. Yeah. I bet that happened once, and only once, in the entire history of the world.

Indiana Jones and the Ohmigod I'm Starting to Get Really Excited Now...
2/15/2008 11:10:09 AM

As if to redeem themselves from the hellish misery that was the "Star Wars" prequels, George Lucas and Steven Spielburg bring us... this...

Enjoy. (...Oh, and my favorite line: "Damn, I thought that was closer." Good stuff.)

Billy’s (Psychotic?) Balloon
2/15/2008 10:40:31 AM



Think The Red Balloon, but with less starry-eyed wonder and a lot more latex-on-child brutality.

Get Yer Polaroid On...
2/15/2008 10:39:03 AM



Guaranteed to bum out not just me but all of the other twee sentimentalists attached to outmoded technology — word up, printing presses! — this article sort of put a hitch in my giddy-up. So, here is a pretty phenomenal stop-motion video made almost entirely out of Polaroids. After which I’m going to go cry into my vintage cardigan and write epic missives on my typewriter.

For reals though. Sad panda.

The Passion of the Kanye!
2/14/2008 11:19:25 PM



Kanye West, aka the Egomaniac of the Century, just debuted his new video for his hit single "Flashing Lights." The video, which is Spike Jonze directed, is supa-hardcore! If you don't believe me, just watch for yourself. This is a freaking snuff film! Mel Gibson would be proud.

I've gotta admit though, I kinda dig it. It's darkly sexy! OK, I can't believe I just said that.

What do you think?

A Valentine’s Day Parent-Teacher Conference…
2/14/2008 1:36:40 PM



James Dobson’s worst nightmare comes horrifyingly to waking life in this Cracked.com clip about oversexed grammar school students.

It’s chockfull of twitchy, Debbie LaFave-tinged humor and tenuous overacting. But seriously, who doesn’t enjoy a good incest reference on this hollowed Hallmark holiday?
