For the Mens

This is a totally ridiculous and completely hilarious blog.
And it's called Boner Party. I can't really describe it, you'll just have to go there, but the guys who write it -- awesome.

Confession

Sure, sure, I love me some obscure indie music. But sometimes I'm such a gay man with my music tastes. Case in point:

Ewwwwwww.

October 22, 2008 --
A SLEW of young celebs enjoyed the pool at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel over the weekend - oblivious to the fact that the hotel staff never drained the water after a dead body was found in the pool a week earlier, sources said.

At 4:30 a.m. Monday Oct. 13, Jordan Nagler, 30, a Rockville Centre, LI, native who was the executive director of International Student Exchange in Babylon, was found dead in the hotel's Tropicana Bar pool. Ed Winter, assistant chief of investigations for the Los Angeles County coroner's office, told The Post's David Finnigan: "He was found at the bottom of the pool wearing swimming trunks. The staff at the hotel found him, but we don't know who actually removed him from the pool."

A Page Six source told us that days after Nagler's body was found, "The hotel management had a meeting, where they told staffers the pool didn't need to be drained" because "there was enough chlorine in it to kill the bacteria." The tipster added, "Following the tragedy, the hotel held a meeting with employees of the Roosevelt, Teddy's [the club inside the hotel] and Tropicana Bar." Staffers were instructed not to "say anything to anyone" because, "We don't want this to get out."

One week later, the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Eve, Kevin Connolly and Stacy Keibler "were swimming in the unchanged water," our source added.

On Monday, Justin Long, Sarah Chalke, Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks were there for an Effen Vodka-hosted party. Stephen Brandman, chief operating officer of
Thompson Hotels, which owns the Roosevelt, called reports about not draining the pool and shushing the staff "urban legend." He told us, "Somebody did die, but we don't think anything awkward or bizarre occurred. He had a heart attack." Winter said the cause of death was undetermined. An LA cop told Finnigan there's no homicide investigation and the death "could be a result of alcohol consumption."

I'm really sorry, male Good Bloggie readers, but holy shit a mouse with a teddy bear.

"One way or another, Commander Caiin was getting out of the forest"

Wow. This is amazing.

I Broke the Internet

After posting that video of the dog blowing bubbles with its nose, I can't seem to find anything that's even remotely close to being as awesome. I think someone finally broke the internet.

OMG. No, wait. I just remembered that I never posted the most bizarre video I've ever seen.



I literally had no idea if the tears I was crying after watching this were of laughter or sadness.

Desperate Times; Desperate Measures

I think at this point, we should all invest in puppies.

See more Natalie Portman videos at Funny or Die

Bubbles

This is by far one of the best -- and weirdest -- videos I've seen lately. I think I've watched it like 5 times already and I found it like 3 minutes ago.



Wow, thanks internet.

It's Only Fair

If Joe the Plumber gets tax breaks, so should Bob the Builder. Just sayin'.




Specs

So, apparently I don't sleep anymore. Anyways, I got these new specs, and every inch of me wants to wear them all the time -- ironically. Of course. Never without a speck of irony.



This is What Twitter Is For

So I've been trying to sell everyone on the whole Twitter thing, because I feel like a loser with no internet friends. I keep running across this Twitter, from "Michael Bay". Every day it gets better and better.





Seriously, go. My favorite? "I've decided to change the title to 'Friday the 12th: Revenge of Tomorrow'."

How could you not love that?

Robocop on a Unicorn

Only the internet could bring us an amazing photo set on flickr like this: Robocop on a Unicorn.

Or this mildly disturbing photo, which essentially destroyed my childhood after one glance:

I actually kind of love that someone broke out the watercolors in order to make that.

"Say A Command"

What is it about the voice dialing feature on cell phones that just make you want to swear? I always find myself hitting the button by accident and then yelling, “shit! fuck! cock!” into my phone to see who it thinks I’m calling.

Work Schmerk

Ah, the life of the Underworked and the Underutilized:

Mike: so what's on the docket for you today, Whitty?
Me: Hmmm
writing new blog posts
editing a site that I'm helping out with
shuffling some papers around on my desk
watching project runway
hiding projects I haven't done in drawers
mickles1013: radical
busy!
Mike: I’m sitting on a chair and thinking about eating cereal
me: oh, what kind?

We need real jobs.

Upside Down Dogs

I check I Can Has Cheezburger like two, maybe three times a day. It never fails to make my mood better -- I can hear their little cat voices and strange grammar in my head when I read the captions, really. (That is sad, but what's a blog without self disclosure, right?) But! I think that I’ve found an even better internet meme to occupy my time. These, my friends, are upside-down dogs.


Boxcars

So I guess I am going to the Red Bull Soapbox race in Denver next weekend – sounds fun. I’ve been making a concerted effort to do different things that I normally wouldn’t do – I’ve been spending time in coffee shops, at the park, at the Lyric, all places I never really went before. I’m just finding so many things to do instead of lay around and watch stuff like Felicity with my roommates like I used to.


Anyways, since I've divulged this information, no one go there and kill me, okay?

This is Sand


I found out about this really cool website -- a great timewaster, if you've got it. It's called ThisIsSand -- remember those little colored sand creatures you used to make at fairs? Well, this is kind of like it. I made a picture, it's terrible, but you get the gist.
(Tips: double click if you want a constant flow of sand, or hold the mouse button down. Press the "C" key to change colors.)

Fail

Really, guy? Really?
