RYAN at FUJI : oh snaps
RYAN at FUJI : we gots ta go
Sickest 16 : sho nuff 

I have to admit it, even as someone who nearly despises fast food and what it represents to the world as uniquely American, I absolutely adore all of Burger King's recent advertisements. It all began with the Subservient Chicken which spread all over the internet as an amazing piece of guerilla (viral?) advert. Today I saw for the first time this long commercial featuring Hootie as a Rhinestone Cowboy singing a parody of Big Rock Candy Mountain. Instant classic, the entire production is both beautiful and bizarre and most certainly impossible to forget. Love you Hootie, glad to see you again-- just please please please do me one favor and don't answer your phone when the caller-id says "Surreal Life Casting."

How come no one told me Ludacris is coming to RIT on April 30th. Holler back if you wanna come wit'! Thanks to my old schooler Leslie for the hook up. She's my number 1, I never knew about the closet blackness we both share. 

I'm way behind in commenting on this but check out the hilarious commentary by Bill Maher about Jeff Ganon (James Guckert), the White House Press Correspondent who also moonlighted as a gay prostitute. This stuff practically writes itself. Video features a few gems from Robin Williams, too. 

men●dac●i●ty n.pl.
1. The tendency to be untruthful.
2. The tendency to pass yourself off as a boy even though you are clearly a underdeveloped teenage girl on a date with an overdeveloped 30 year old girl.
3. The tendency to pretend that you have breasts that will hold up a tube top -- that you are wearing, inexplicably -- in the dead of a Rochester winter.
4. The tendency to wear a bizzare & nappy hairstyle because you think you're hot only due to the fact that you hang out with strange and unattractive drama-people.

My favorite quotes of the night:
Monopoly Guy / 1930s-era bank teller: "Yeah they paint them directly on your body at the Playboy Mansion."
Cross-dresser: "Have you ever been there?"
Monopoly Guy: "No, I'm not a good enough painter."

14-year-old Boy / 20-year-old Girl: "Say, how old are you?"
Cross-dressing 19-year-old: "19, why."
Chubby girl dressed like it's 1998 again: "Oh, we had a bet going."
Cross-dresser: "What kind of bet."
Authentic girl, again: "Of how old you are."
Cross-dresser's date: "What'd you guess?"
Chubby's boyfriend: "19."
Cross-dresser: "Yeah people always think that I'm younger."
Captain Obvious: "It's okay people always mistake me for a 14-year-old boy."

Just guess: "He was getting pretty close to my tit."
Her 30-year-old lesbian date: "He's strange, stay away from him."

By the way, none of the above quotes were actually from the play.

... and in all fairness I want to say that I actually enjoyed the play and the entire experience. The actors were great -- the weirdo's in the crowd were even better (including the Michele Wade look-alike that sat directly in front of me). Good times.

World's smallest website, flash and html, it has a weblog and plenty of games all in that little box. Pixel madness. Go play, it's for nerds and non nerds alike! 

I found Banana Joe's birthday present at Gizmodo today! Too bad it's backordered. And just never you mind who Banana Joe is, that's on a need-to-know basis. 

Sickest 16 : i'd make tiny screams as i put each knife in 

Hey, do yourselves a favor and go pre-order this cd by one of my all time favorite musicians. Jack Johnson's new cd is called In Between Dreams and I can't wait to hear it! So many great memories -- time to break out all the oldies and completely relax at work tomorrow. One of my old friends used to hang out with Jack and said he's pretty much the chillest guy you could ever meet. (... and No, I'm not getting paid to push this cd, and NO I don't make money if you click the Amazon link above, ... yet, that'll be my next project -- first one's free, haha -- sorry that wasn't funny, that was a very sad sad laugh)

Let me be the first to say (well I'm sure it's been said) that I definitely dislike they way our president has handled a lot of issues, but this one I'm okay with. We all make mistakes, I mean who hasn't thrown their presidential allowance away on some quality blow and a few dime-store hookers. No no, I kid. Bush, if Britney's allowed to be fat then you're allowed to smoke some dope. (I'm not quite sure how that works) 

Somewhat of a nerdy post, but everyone loves a good top list! Even Al can appreciate a list that includes the Bedazzler! 

The Notebook, also known as The Bribe

Yeah, so Al bribed me tonight. She baked me cupcakes and brought them over -- and in return I had to watch 'The Notebook'. Well I distinctly remember going to see a different movie when this one came out and in line I said something to the effect of rather being dead than having to see the movie.

Well over my dead body or not she got me to watch it tonight. And unfortunately I need to eat my words, I honestly enjoyed the flick. Now I hate sappy and I hate sad, but this was just the right mix. I'll suggest it for all couples, and suggest that singles do NOT watch it 'cus you're depressed enough already. And fellas, I know you're tough and all, so pack your kleenex discreetly.

Look closely at the four bushes in the background here. June 6, 2001: It took me and my mom something like 14 beers to pull up and replant TWO of those four bushes. My dad came home from work, saw how little we got accomplished and promptly plucked the other two in a matter of MINUTES, he then proceeded to be annoyed with our drunkenness for the remainder of the evening. Good times, I miss that weather. 

Oh, what I wouldn't give for sunlight and shorts right now.
