Cute, but I still don’t get why this takes place in January

Improv Everywhere (of the fake Best Buy employees fame; see below) is doing their annual No Pants Subway Ride this Sunday, January 10, 2010. I’ve also included video of this from last year.

If that looks like your idea of fun and you feel like stripping down to your skivvies and traumatizing total strangers, here’s the skinny.

Improv Everywhere, plan one of these babies in a reasonable month like April or October, and I’d be there.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everybody! I hope your 2010 is off to a lovely start.

Satanski and I were watching videos online and I realized that I never posted this one. Jason Mraz + Sesame Street = Two great tastes that taste great together. My nephew was really confused as to why Jason Mraz was on Sesame Street, but thought it was cool to see Mraz singing with Elmo and Big Bird.

Google is for answering questions

Such as, where might I find a hooker today? Don’t worry; Google’s on the case.

There’s not enough WTF??? in the world

Say what you will about the retardedness of the photos that people post to social networking sites, but I’m pretty sure that these photos are why the universe made sure Facebook didn’t come into being until this century.

Kill it with fire (or a stake, or decapitation)…

Just when I think that the actions of the TwiMoms, the most frightening segment of Twilight fandom (although there’s pretty stiff competition for that title) have gone too far, one of them has to go ahead and do something even creepier. This time: Etsy seller Twimom (yes, she got the actual name; does that make her their leader??) presents Cullen-ize Me. For only $10, you can see what you’d look like if you were all undead and sparkly. Jesus.

Awwww

He’s no 3-year-old Korean kid, but Jason Mraz is pretty freaking cute himself.

Celebrating the good kids

Sometimes I think that teenagers are evil aliens sent from another planet, intent on destroying or simply just ruining life on Earth. It’s nice when they do something that makes me rethink this idea. Today’s heartwarming kids: the students of Washington State’s Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools, who sort of had a lip dub-off. Shorecrest started it with Outkast’s Hey Ya, and Shorewood responded by performing Hall and Oates’ You Make My Dreams Come True – in reverse. Both videos are great, but now I have the entire Hall and Oates catalog stuck in my head.

Gross Gross Gross

If I wasn’t already sick, my newfound knowledge of the McNuggetini would probably make me ill. What is wrong with people? I enjoy good production values and nice dresses at least as much as the next person, but seriously? Talks of a tv show? There is nothing good about this situation. I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without hearing about this thing, but I could easily have spent the rest of my life in the dark about this.

Want!

This video, which only the Amish and Osama Bin Laden haven’t seen, has only strengthened my desire to have an Asian child. The kid’s talent is undeniable, but for me, the real selling point is the faces that he makes throughout.

Also, as adorable as this is, I’ve seen it a lot in the last several days, so all of those who know of my obsession with Jason Mraz should feel free to cease sending it to me.

The antidote to Vickery

I would never tar an entire profession with the same brush, so I bear no specific enmity toward lawyers as a whole when I think about people like Andy Vickery. I have a lot of friends who are lawyers, and I don’t believe that having any of them end up on the bottom of the ocean would be a particularly good start to anything. They’re all pretty caring people, and the legal world (and the larger one) is lucky to have them. Still, it’s nice to know that my friends aren’t the only cool lawyers out there.

Marc Randazza, the anti-Vickery, wrote the famous Glenn Beck brief, and is proving that his awesomeness in that matter wasn’t a one-shot deal. He’s hilarious (although I wouldn’t want to date or work for him) in this interview. He also has a blog.
