Which is Worse?

The author or the interview?

Thank you!

Much love to Sarah for this!

If you are going to rob...

a German Medical Student...please take the time to ensure that there are no ninjas about.

Sometimes, I loves me Australia!

Her perfume was unspeakable...

He thought he was the King of America
But it was just a boulevard of broken dreams
A trick they do with mirrors and with chemicals
The words of love in whispers
And the acts of love in screams
I wish that I could push a button
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this lovin' feeling disappear
Like it was common sense
I was a fine idea at the time
Now I'm a brilliant mistake

They Will Haunt My Dreams

Why would they do this?



London 2012: Olympic mascots Wenlock and Mandeville unveiled - Telegraph:

"The one-eyed figures named Wenlock and Mandeville were unveiled at an east London school on Wednesday, with London 2012 organisers hoping they will inspire a generation of children while persuading their parents to contribute a share of �15 million the mascots are intended to raise in merchandising revenue."

The Best of the Net

You know, sometimes, I am effusive in my praise for my friends...

It can being annoying, but I will not stop it.

Because some friends will produce things of brilliance like this!

FAU does Ira Glass on the NYS Government.

It is amazingly funny, especially if you are a fan of TAL.

I am still laughing out loud!

The Best Worst Food Day Ever

The Albany Version:

Wendy's The Baconator (Location: 1335 Central Ave.)

KFC's The Double Down (Location: 274 Delaware Ave.)

McDonald's The McGangBang (Location: 31 Holland Ave.)

Philly Pretzel Soft Factory's Cheese Steak Pretzels (Location: Must Be Ordered in Albany - 1.800.679.4221)

That's the food that will kill you. My goal (with friends) is to eat all of it in one day. Punctuated with excellent beer.

Which bars should we use? Would the Menands location for KFC be better because it is close to Wolff's? Should we just get all the food in a mound and bring it to the Lionheart and enjoy it with DFH 60 Minute IPA?

Is anyone in? Do we need to have an EMT with us at all times?

Edit: Hulse has pointed out that we should be supporting local and find locally owned business that are doing incredibly awful food for the people of Albany! Great idea!

Any suggestions on where we could locally source killer food?

This is why YOU shouldn't breed.

While I am pro-family and such, I am against most people breeding, and I believe that there should be very fascist tests and limits on who is allowed to breed. This is one of the reasons why:

"People are naming their children after vampires. The Social Security Administration has released its list of 2009's most popular baby names, and the leading choices were Isabella and Jacob. Both names just happen to belong to main characters in the Twilight book series."

Oh! I am bowling?!?

Yes, I am.

Why?

Because it is a fundraiser for the Upstate Artists Guild.

This is their Bowl for Art's Sake Benefit.

But why?

Mainly to make F.P.R. McLain look good because I don't bowl (Much like Charlie don't surf...) and he needs all the help he can.

So...if you would like, please donate and thanks to those who already have, but the big question is do I wear my awesome flaming skull bowling shirt? I believe that An Observer owns one already.

Where Was I Yesterday?

No, I wasn't shadowing Ira Glass as he saw first hand the problems with New York State Politics. (Though, I wish I were.)

No, I spent the day volunteering for Capital District Habitat for Humanity. Now why I did this doesn't matter (FTR, I was helping out a friend, not serving a mandated community service term), but it was a good day...

As good a day that left me completely sore and wondering about a number of things regarding my work out regimen, but...

Everyone can do it. If I could do some heavy lifting, anyone could.

It is such a wonderful organization and if you are willing to volunteer, please go to this site.

Those Wacky Canadians

The above is a series of television spots for the Canadian Network Amour, which features adult movies. They are hilarious because they are incredibly honest, including the tag, "You Won't Be Watching For the Acting".

Enjoy and SFW.

Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party

Yes, I Played...

Laser Tag with TEA. We had to go to Mass for Ascension Thursday and afterwards, with TEA having the day off, we had lunch with Erik and his boys, and then...off to Laser Tag. We played at Battlefield Live in Crossgates Mall and the staff was wonderful...it also fulfilled much of my cardio requirement for Thursday.

Anyway, the equipment was easy to use, (again) the staff was great, and it was an interesting location. If you are looking for something fun and/or unique (especially if you have boys under 12), give them a try. They will also come to you.

The Legend of Billie Jean

For some reason this movie popped into my head this morning, hence the song by Pat Benatar.

The wiki entry for this movie cleared up a couple of misconceptions for me...such as Christian Slater and Helen Slater are NOT related, which I never knew (not that I thought all that hard about it.) and that it was filmed in Corpus Christi which explains the behavior of friends from that part of Texas.

(and...Helen Slater has not aged well.)

Peter Griffin for Secretary of Agriculture in Alabama

Sometimes this show is so offensive that you can't help but laugh...and it makes me think of one of @pvh1976's doctors while she was hospitalized the first time.

I love this comic.

Another Political Ad from Alabama...

that makes me happier about being a New Yorker.



I don't know what I like most about this video...I think it is the veiled threat of violence and the theme music by Elmer Bernstein, but don't tell Dale that the music is by a Jew because (and I am assuming this) minute two of this commercial probably goes from illegals and gang bangers to Jews and Darkies, and Dale lists some of his OTHER accomplishments, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and Vice President of the Hair Club for Men.

Joust of the Whores

'Joust of the Whores': The Worst Popes in History - the pope - Gawker:

"In 1501 Alexander VI once threw a party he called the 'Joust of the Whores':
...50 dancers were invited to slowly strip around the pope's table. Alexander and his family gleefully threw chestnuts on the floor, forcing the women to grovel around their feet like swine; they then offered prizes of fine clothes and jewelry for the man who could fornicate with the most women.

Between whorejousts his hobbies included watching horses copulate, which would make him 'laugh fit to bust.'"
