For Hank

Hank is getting the band back together for some fishing in Alaska. The trip will likely involve soul searching, introspective talks about future goals and our least favorite pledge term activity (short conversation: Wine & Cheese). But what it probably won't involve is stabbing salmon with sticks for food. Watch Bear Grylls get er done. Get well, Bear.

Happy Holidays everyone - enjoy home or the bloomberg terminal, whichever you choose to enjoy this time of year.

Obama exposed

Look, I'm just as happy seeing the president-elect in an "accessible" way as the next fiscally-conservative socially-liberal college grad, but is anyone a bit concerned that these shots can be taken at all? I'm knocking the shit out of wood right now, but I dont like what it could mean that people as dumb as scumbag paparazzi are even an ultra-powerful telescopic lense away from our soon to be Commander-in-Chief. Maybe in reality Obama lives in a 12 inch thick plate glass bubble. Is that possible? I've been away from science too long.

Yeeaaah

If you haven't seen this yet, it's important background for any holiday cocktail party.

Holiday party season!

This may be a bit late considering people are probably still hungover from last weekend but 'tis the season for holiday parties (Falalalala,lalalala). The video above and article here should serve as reminders that as some of America's best and brightest, it is our civic duty to f*&^ the proverbial turkey and make for Monday's cooler gossip. So throw on that red dress, bust out your best thinly-veiled insults and make (lose) some memories. Tell 'em AMDAL said so.

It is, sir, as I have said, a small mummy tomb

And yet there are those who love it!"

Oh this is why Obama and Bush spend all that time at the gym...

Today, during President Bush's secret trip to Iraq, he was attacked during a press conference by a man with an unusual weapon of choice. This is Bush's final foreign trip as President. In 37 days he'll be replaced by Barack Hussein Obama. Can I get a hell yeah?

Below, the footage:



Here's some more...

This is the end

My only friend, the end.

Happy Friday, blogodrones. I'll be shutting the computer down, playing in the snow and getting my ass kicked in scrabble. Did you know ZA was a word?

Andy Samberg is funny

Can you name the supermodel and janitor making cameos?

Might as well post this too, similar theme.  One of many great Heineken commercials.

Britney Spears - Circus

Britney's back bitches. And no, don't try to tell me she's been back for a while. Cartoon Brit, Womanizing Brit and X-Factor Brit don't count. This video here is it. All that other shit was fake. This is her. And I know Britney.

Nutcracker

Like Conor, I'm SOO busy right now but in the spirit of the holidays, I present you with the (coco)Nut Cracker.

Watch and learn.

iphones ruin lives

This is why I don't have an iPhone. This could never happen on my Motorola Razr 2004 (in black!).

I am the gatekeeper. Are you the keymaster?

"There's an urban legend that's gone round until no one is sure who it happened to, or if it happened at all. It was late one night, a few years ago, when a young man was walking through Union Square Park. He suddenly felt someone behind him, their hands over his eyes. When he turned in surprise, there was Bill Murray, his creased face leaning in close. Bill whispered, "No one is ever going to believe you," and then just walked away."--Sunday's NY Post Magazine (hat tip Sars)

Bill Murray is currently reliving "Lost in Translation." Give me a call when he starts reliving Ghostbusters.

Partial credit

What's the real world equivalent to partial credit? It seems like life these days is pretty binary. You either have a job or you dont; grad programs are largely pass/fail; you're losing your hair or you're not. As a consolation, here's my attempt at making a short list of life's partial credit:

-A shitty bonus
-An apartment in the city (but its in Murray Hill)
-10 pullups with a beer gut
-An H.J.

Update: Thanks Ayesha and Nucci for this

Bode Miller naked!

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

See video above for Bode Miller in his intensive training regimen.

This clip can't be too far from the truth if you know anything about Bode Miller or ski racers in general for that matter (Evan dips like a champ, KevO drinks like a sailor, Erik looks like Forrest Gump).

Kev / Patty, when are you guys coming back to HTown?

I should leave this kind of stuff to the experts

NY Mag is superior to AMDAL. There, I've said it.

Breathe.

OK, so in a spirit of deference, I refer you to the following articles. The first is about why it's tiring to have so many good shows on TV. The second is why the producers of Heroes should jump off a bridge. Have you seen it? Why can't one of the characters have some sense of continuity? Turning it on requires an understanding that you'll say, "This doesnt make any fucking sense!" at least three times in one episode. Its horrible and I can't stop watching.

In other TV-related news, can someone give me an FNL update? Instead of just watching I'll just wait for Forrest to give me the rundown, per last time.

For all the law students out there

"Why You Should Never Try to Steal a Law Student's Laptop"
A thief learned the mistake of trying to steal a law student's laptop last week after after becoming a punching bag for an Arizona State student he tried to rip off.

Definitely

I know I shouldn't judge people, especially based on small things having nothing to do with who they are as people. And I know grammar is one of those small things. But is it too much to ask that everyone learn how to spell "definitely?" Just remember:
- No A's
- When in doubt, go with an "I"

I'm sure my grammar is horrible at times (Was vs. Were, etc. vs. et. al, e.g. vs. i.e.) but come on. I'm doing it because I care. And because I care and because it got such a response last week, I'm also posting this. Note the allegiance to AMDAL.
