Get Your Peanuts Here!

Email exchange between me and Ty during Game 6 of the ALCS.

Subj: Linguistic drift: in-game edition
me: Dude in my row asked the peanut vendor to “throw out the nutsack”
ty: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/da+lench+mob/all+on+my+nut+sac_20238056.html
me: Guerillas are in the midst of Fairfield county apparently.
ty: Peter Kay played “Guerrillasinthemidst” for 137 pts and just bingoed your ass, jigga.

Is there anything funnier than house music and french dancing?

The roll call of politeness:

Dude in the suit: Frenchman, please.
Breakdancers: come on.
Black woman: oh, really.
Other woman: you need help. (said with a rise in tone at the end of the sentence to communicate sympathy and concern.)

The track is, as they say, a club banger, but the lo-fi typographic aesthetic, married to the “Dancing With the Stars” as produced by De Anza JC staging, leaves one with the faint whiff of oh-come-on-you-can’t-really-be-serious.

If you see this on Jay Leno’s new 10pm gig, you should start stocking up on gold bullion, because it is an indicator that the variety show is dead and that the decline of Western Civilization has reached hugging distance with zero, asymptotically speaking.

Kanye decides to pick on someone his own size.

Is God so powerful that He can create a rat so big that even He cannot destroy it?

Two NYC power centers go toe-to-toe on the Upper East Side.

For the coupon inserts. It’s not like Frank Rich is going to come to my house and bake me a pepperoni-encrusted pretzel.

Don’t Tase Me, Bro Simulacra

The simulacra:

Super dark, yet funny to me.

The most absurd Facebook friend request icon I have ever seen Part II

Ty — Fri, 01 May 2009 00:07:13 +0000

Pardon my page-rank-splitting title, but, well, come on man. Given that we have zero friends in common, I am not just going to have to pass, but you have been blocked, as well, as a result of your aesthetic absurdity.

Really?

Prospect Park Apparently Now the Private Domain of Professionally Clad Cyclists

To the dude in the Vodafone cycling suit screaming at a 10-yr-old girl on horseback (in a CROSSWALK) to get out of the way this afternoon…the Pyrenees are that way.
