Productive

Today was spent entirely catching up on the internet…I tell everyone I don’t spend that much time reading other people’s blogs, and there is some truth to that. WordPress has it’s own aggregator so that I don’t need to go to anyone else’s that I’ve blogroll-ed. I can skim from my dashboard. But there are some hilarious sites that I’ve found and when I do, I go through them in a whole sitting. Not that I want to point you away from my own blog here, but somegosoftly knows you’ll be back. 😉

I’ve got a funny webcomic for you to browse if you don’t feel like working – you won’t get caught, it’s not too long. Some are strange, but others are outright hilarious:

xkcd.com

Here’s a sample, one of my favorites.

Another one I love, and I’ve been reading for quite some time, although I have to admit to you that I don’t always get them without having to think about it for a while:

indexed.blogspot.com

Here’s a sample too.

I found both of these sites here:

whatweallwant.blogspot.com

after finding that one here:

To Whom it May Concern. Indexed and TWIMC are both in my blogroll on the right if you want to find them more often, they are worth repeated stops. I understand WWAW has come to an end. I spent all day there today and can’t lie, got some interesting talking points. So if you go through the whole thing, don’t call me out on that, I’m well aware.

Finally, here’s another interesting link

error204.blogspot.com.

That guy is all over the web and you can find some neat vids and info.

Finally, if you click no where else, click here. (hahaha)

This Is Spartaaa…

What did you think of that movie, The 300? The gratuitous nudity and beefy men had me only half interested. The cinematography was neat. I didn’t know it came from a comic book graphic novel… that’s cool, I guess. I saw it at the Alamo, the day it came out, that may have been the most interesting part. Only people really into a movie do that (and their wives…)

No matter what you thought, you should love this thread, despite the low bandwidth for the image hosting – hopefully they’ll fix that. Be sure to scroll through ALL pages of comments to see every image. I can’t stop laughing.

Edited to add: Since this is one of my most popular posts I thought I’d share this pic,

Wii-eally Funny

Check out

this video

that I found on one of my favorite blogs, Pop Candy. It’s a bunch of ‘elderly’ people at a retirement home that are addicted to the Wii bowling. It’s adorable. They get pretty into it. I’m gonna be like that when I grow up and end up in a home…

Last News 8 Appearance

Per Mom’s request: A blog regarding my last News 8 Austin appearance, and it’s relevance to today’s news.

At my graduation from UT, my family threw me a super huge extravaganza at my aunt’s giant mansion. There were tons of people there. Dad was making sangria margaritas way too strong and everyone was running around having a blast. There was food and drinks and music and even a giant UT Longhorn cake, that I was put in front of and serenaded with “The Eyes of Texas”, led by my best friend SB who flew all the way from NYC to see me graduate.

To top all that best-party-ever-ness off, they had the TV on just in case. As I was giving my family a tour of the campus earlier that day, I was interviewed about the fact that Jenna Bush was in my graduating class and department. There was speculation about whether or not she would show. I don’t remember what I said, although I felt a little annoyed at the thought that her graduation would be any bigger of a deal to anyone than MINE, but it got on TV. During my party, nonetheless, there I was, on my aunt’s big screen, for all to see. It was hilarious.

SO, fast forward to today, three years later. Mom called to let me know that Ms. Bush has made the news, and will be publishing a book before me. Mom just wanted to apologize that my family apparently did not have the family connections to make my book happen before hers. I’m not worried though, mine will be better.

I went to classes.

Joe Rogan vs. Carlos Mencia (Ned Holness)

Well, this is ALL OVER the internet already, but for those readers of mine that might not have seen this, it’s a clip of Joe Rogan and Carlos Mencia. Screaming.

Watch:

Let me tell you, I LOVE Joe Rogan. Seriously. We saw him here in Austin at Cap City Comedy Club, and he was incredible. The stuff you might know him from is on the side for him – hosting Fear Factor and UFC, the show NewsRadio, and all that crap…but that’s not all he’s good at. (here’s his wikipedia page for more info)

He is certainly one of the best stand up comedians I’ve ever seen. He transfers his jokes effortlessly, his timing is flawless, and he brings his shows full circle, stuff I think is key to being a great comedian. We have never laughed so hard. He was taking shots, egging on the crowd, having a good time, making people think, and telling great jokes.

Well, so he sometimes has called people out on their “joke stealing”. I understand he’s made claims about Dennis Leary, Dane Cook, and others, so this isn’t his first attempt. He’s not just out to get Mencia. The way I see it, Mencia just makes it too easy.

Mike has been on my case since the guy got the TV show Mind of Mencia. It was on after Chapelle Show so we’d watch it occasionally. Mike HATED it. For many reasons. (Mencia’s wikipedia is currently locked from editing and under dispute…) Everyone talks not only about the joke ripping but that he doesn’t speak Spanish or isn’t from Latin America (Germany or something?), uses the name to trick people, etc, etc.

So it’s a big dispute receiving a lot of publicity lately, as The Comedy Store, Pauly Shore’s mom’s place, kicked Rogan out after this in favor of Mencia, AND Rogan’s agent, also Mencia’s, dropped him. All of which is discussed on Rogan’s site (click here if you haven’t checked it already).

What do YOU think???

We Didn’t Get Scared, Or; Austin Vs. Boston

Austin got guerrilla marketed too, and we didn’t waste $500,000 on the bomb squad. Maybe that’s why I moved here from New England. Are we smarter? Or better fans of Adult Swim?

I’m just wondering, does this look like a BOMB to you???

Makes me want to go buy a Lite Brite.

In case you live under a rock, here’s the story. I have a feeling we’ll be looking back and laughing at this one. A lot.
