Why You Should Constantly Be Plugged Into The Internet

I have been holed up for the past day editing a backlog of videos for various things, and on only the second day of this, I'm already feeling claustrophobic and hermit-ish. I always imagine what I'm missing in this great city, and today I'm sad to report that I missed this last weekend! And not due to doing actual work, but actually participating in a large scale prank for the brilliant Improv Everywhere.



















Check out the footage and pics from the 2007 Union Square Pillow Fight (courtesy of Brooklyn Vegan), and see what Union Square can be, other than the NYC equivalent to the Pit at UNC, and home to a snowboard contest.

NOTE: For any concerned, there's some possibly offensive language and a video of large pantsless and drawers-less man in the pillow fight link (he's blurred out though...sheesh*).

NOTE: For anyone else concerned, I just typed "sheesh", putting me in the same category of comedy journalists Marmaduke and The Family Circus.

What's In The Hall?: 2-22-07

WHAT'S IN THE HALL?

Well this week, a 19-inch television. If you put this week's What's In The Hall? with last week's entry, you could sit and watch some good ol' boob tube entertainment while enjoying a cold one from your new(ish) fridge! We can only hope next week we find a couch in the hall. Cross your fingers! And in subsequent weeks, maybe we'll find a wife, dog, child, hobby, newer hobby that fits when you're in your mid-40's, a boat to go with that new hobby, gas for that boat, and a Skipper.

I'm gonna have to move to a new building with bigger halls.

Tune for next week's What's In The Hall?!

Hit Me One More Time because I'm Crazy and possibly Toxic

So the biggest news in the past few days is that Britney Spears has followed in the footsteps of Demi Moore, Natalie Portman, and Bela Lugosi and shaved her head. (This is the biggest news, unless you count things like an upcoming presidential election, and oh yeah, we're in a war) This "news" has saturated our media and has made it's way to all the papes' in New York (and by papes I'm referring to a term from that hit that is dear to my heart, Newsies).

It's not shocking that every news agency would have their say on Britney's newest antics. I think it's actually a little sad because she is maybe, as a friend of mine put it today, "possibly hitting rock bottom in front of everyone" (or trimming her hair for a local Fight Club - hey, either one, who knows?).

The NY Daily News gave this story front page headlines. If you look close at their headlines, one reads, "Experts say image in ruins".

Who are these "experts" the NY Daily News is hiring and questioning for their paper? You know, it takes an expert to do a lot of things - build a rocket, perform surgery...but I don't know if it takes an "expert" to judge this whole affair. I think a 6 month old or a small manatee could make this call acurately as well. Unless, the NY Daily News has recently employed manatees. Oh Daily News...you'll stop at NOTHING to get ahead of the competition!

Here's Looking To Warmer Months Ahead And Time In The Woods

Here's to warmer months approaching some 70ish days from now. Here is possibly my favorite commercial ever, with some other men going to spend time in the woods. My only hope is that I can have a run in with Evil Beaver too. I'm a little worried about my new wooden leg though.

What's In The Hall? 2-13-07

Hello all. I've been away for a while and not on the bloggin' parade for awhile. But now, good friends of the internet, I'm back with a new segment entitled What's In The Hall? (cue wacky Paul Shaffer them music, with Paul screaming What-What-What-What's In The Haaaaal!), where I show you random things that are in the hall of my building.

This week, a great surprise:




















A working refrigerator!! (There was even a styrofoam sign on the front that said so - you can even see it broken in pieces on top - before the fridge was moved down the hall to defrost and leak everywhere)

And that's today's, What's In The Hall? !
