Just Do Less

You Sank My Tequila Sunrise!

Gizmodo showcased an ingenious remake of the classic Battleship game including alcohol. Dubbed the Enigma, the game's rules involve drinking a shot of your favorite drink whenever you take a hit. If you miss, you take a drink of water. How responsible! In total, it seems that a game would last about eight shots, meaning you'd be getting wasted when your submarine gets wasted. Why hasn't someone created a chain of boardgames-turned-drinking games? Entrepreneurship idea up for grabs!

The Bathroom Sessions

2009-06-18T11:21:00.000-07:00

I know, I know. The title’s a little crude. But I wouldn’t expect anything less from Barenaked Ladies. Ed Robertson, co-founder for the Canadian band, has posted a series of music videos of him singing acoustic versions of Barenaked Ladies songs in his bathroom, claiming the space has better acoustics. Occasionally, the other co-founder, Steven Page, makes appearances as well.

I find it darkly amusing that a man can sing about a suicidal window washer while sitting so close to a toilet. Below are two of my favorites.

I love these guys.

Larry David is Hilarious

I wish I had watched this live. This guy is either incredibly neurotic and self-absorbed, or he is a comedic genius.

Was the touche raise in an episode of Seinfeld?

Easter Time, Easter Time... At Wal-Mart

I've found the new thing to entertain myself with on long trips. Luckily I have several coming up in July. This song is 22 minutes long, and the composers claim that less than 200 individuals in the world will enjoy it. It is supposed to be the most unwanted song ever. It's hilarious. My favorite part is when the opera singer repeats "Nonsense" and "Yahoo" several times, right before little kids start singing, "Yom Kippur, Yom Kippur!"

The Most Unwanted Song

Quizno's Commercial

2009-06-07T18:24:00.000-07:00

Fortunately, this remake doesn't stay very true to the original. Bizarre idea for an ad. The allusion doesn't make me want any Quizno's though.

Shoutout to Tom and Someone (Bet You Can't Guess Who)

Ah, Stumbleupon. I found an interesting website today called Surviving the World. It's a webcomic made by a guy named Dante Shepherd, who writes random life lessons (or charts, or non sequitirs) on a chalk board and takes a picture of it. Particularly bored, I decided to look through the archive, and I found two panels that reminded me of two friends of mine. I couldn't agree with these images more.

Playoffs, Baby! Post Season!

Who doesn't love these commercials? Well, apparently Dwight Howard, but who gives a shit? Kobe and Lebron, living together, as muppets. Seems ripe for sitcom, much better than the Geico Cavemen. They're hilarious, and they make me want to see a Lebron vs. Kobe final. Check them all out.

I like the Cool Kids instrumental on the last one.

Obvious Stoner Commercial, Dudes

2009-05-26T14:50:00.001-07:00

I heard about this commercial, but I hadn't seen it until 3 seconds ago. I don't know how it got on TV, but the man in the car is either a particularly mentally challenged individual, or incredibly high. In either case, he shouldn't be driving a car. I can't even be too sure he's high on marijuana, since he's hallucinating the Jack n the Box guy as the voice of reason. Anyway, you can judge for yourself.

Can't say there aren't times when I've wanted 99 tacos for 2 cents.

TED Talks

2009-05-24T15:27:00.000-07:00

TED, an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, Design, is an annual conference attended by the greatest geniuses of our time. I'm hooked on the talks produced by these conferences. Many are engaging, entertaining, and educational. I recommend finding a category that interests you, and then watching a few of the lectures. It's completely free, and much more insightful than anything I've read/seen/heard at school.

They have so many of them, and they keep adding more.

Some interesting ones:
-Steven Levitt on crack economics
-Mark Bittman on what we eat

So... This Exists

Gotta love StumbleUpon... Always brings me to interesting, often hilarious, discoveries on my lunch break. At least I'm not peddling this stuff around Chapel Hill this summer...

Some Music

2009-05-18T10:40:00.000-07:00

I'm posting two interesting bits of music here.

1. Somebody's Watching Me (version from the Geico Commercial)

2. Heartbeat (beat my brother made with some free program on the computer... pretty good)

Can I Get Two Scratches for My Homeboy Jesus?

I don't remember how, and I don't remember when, I found this site. But I found it, and that's all that matters. The memory of SickAnimation.com was resurrected last year when I showed some of its cartoons to a couple friends of mine. It's disturbing, crude, and absolutely hilarious. Below, I've posted the link to Cool Court with Nachos the Crosseyed Cat, one of the tamer animations. Below that is Too Young to Die, which is simply... inexplicable. If these don't satisfy your hunger for filthy humor, watch Covenant of the Sword and Dead Parents.

Too Young to Die

Bo Burnham

2009-05-13T11:17:00.000-07:00

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? Bo Burnham is a YouTube sensation, known for his many songs involving clever wordplay. Although, "clever" isn't even close to being an appropriate description. His lyrics will have you scratching your head. Once you figure them all out, you can't help but laugh. Sheer brilliance. My favorite, "New Math," is posted below. Be sure to also check out "I'm Bo Yo."
