LOTW: Links of the week

Posted on June 19, 2009 | Leave a comment

Look at me, posting links of the week on Friday! Here you go:

  • Ugh. LOTW FAIL already. I wanted to embed a YouTube video of a song I am currently obsessed with. Bulletproof by La Roux. They disabled embedding for it though so you’ll have to go directly to the YouTube site to watch/listen. I kind of want her hair (in the video, not below).

  • How do you feel about The Onion? Sometimes I think it’s silly. Sometimes I think it’s funny. Here’s an example of when I think it’s pretty funny:

  • Ok, we’ve covered off on funny, what’s next… creepy? I’ve got it covered. Check out these über weird photoshopped pictures of celebrities with their faces on upside down.  (Click through below for more.)

  • Did you love Mrs. Doubtfire? Yes. Did you think Mrs. Doubtfire was a little creepy? Yes. If you watch this video below of the Mrs. Doubtfire movie preview being recut will you think it’s even more creppy? Yes.

  • Ok I covered creepy twice, but whatever. Last but not least this week is ridiculous. Pure ridiculousness. (yeah yeah, I secretly want one.) My favorite line? “It extends your reach a full 18 inches!” Where do you need to reach with that is 18 inches away? There are many other great moments… including the big guy.. and the old lady. ENJOY!

A letter to the swine flu

Posted on April 28, 2009 | 4 Comments

Dear Swine Flu,

My sister and I have been planning to visit Mexico and bask in its sunny pleasantry since August 11, 2008. Do you know how long ago that was? Babies being born right now were conceived around that time.

You may be ruthlessly killing dozens of people and making hundreds sick, but you will not, I repeat, not stop us from baking in the crepuscular rays flying high over the Yucatan Peninsula.

Sure you made things difficult for me by taking over the city in which I have a four hour layover, Mexico City. But, I will not be stopped. I will don my mask, I will board the grand plane of Mexicana Air and I will prevail… bronze, full of margaritas and without or with your nasty virus… should my immune system let me down.

If you need further evidence that I am serious about this. Refer to today’s USA Today article, “Swine flu fears may hammer travel industry,” as proof of my conviction. Fifth to last paragraph… or here:

USA Today excerpt
So, to wrap this up… You will not stop me swine flu. Kill and sicken all you want, but I will make it to Playa del Carmen and I will lounge on the beautiful beach and I will eat at the resort buffet for every meal and I will live to see another day.

All the best,
Derek

Do not interrupt the sandwich artist

Posted on March 13, 2009 | 1 Comment

Overheard at Subway in Davis, California tonight…

Most annoying woman ever: “Do you have custom sandwiches still? Where are they on the menu? You used to have custom sandwiches on the menu.”

Second most annoying woman ever: “I want a fresh sandwich please… toasted.”

Most annoying woman ever being even more annoying: “Can I get everything on it?… Wait… except pickles….. and peppers….. and onions.”

Pop quiz bus riders

Posted on February 18, 2009 | Leave a comment

If you’re going to bring your giant black lab on the bus do you think it makes the most sense to sit a) at the back of the empty bus so your dog is out of the way and away from people or b) in the very middle of the bus (at the place the accordian bus connects, where the aisle is especially tight) so no one can get to the back of the bus?
