My mom’s new favorite show
Has anyone heard of the HBO show Summer Heights High? My mom loves it and made we watch three episodes with her. It’s very funny and inappropriate. The same comedian plays these three characters.
Happy birthday Em,
here’s a skateboarding dog.
no cakefail here
holy snaps! it are your birthday Em! nom nom nom
speaking of cakefail, em, I almost put this pic up but decided no one should have to see such cakes so early on a saturday morning…
Sleepy Puppy
Have I posted this already? The cat post reminded me of it. This was me in Dante class and every play we ever saw in England.
happy thanksgiving

Happy 1,000th post CrapWeLike!
To commemorate this occasion, I will give you -
Kitteh Has Too Much To Drink
and Cat Fart Explosion
THAT just about sums it up. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Steve
Sarah Palin fail
Yum yum turkey
Work it, kids!
My sister sent this to me. Exercising is fun! I wonder if Kota counts as an exercise toy because you can bounce on him.
idol fail…
So I am taking a class this semester ENTIRELY devoted to the discussion of images, making of idols, iconoclash and everything in between. I literally spent the whole day in the library researching the procession of images/idols (I’m going to attempt to make some fancy comparison to traveling exhibits and the processing of famous artifacts and works of art) for my big end of semester paper. Imagine my delight when I found this video on failblog just now…
I am so going to find a way to cite failblog in my paper.
i wonder how many times it took to make this…
you should watch to the end…
this song reminds me of kairos- this retreat thing i had to do at my catholic high school- i think brendan was a leader and it was ‘his’ song
Snoop D-O-Double G on Martha
B, you have any insider scoop on this?
Burlington is like the healthiest place ever
And the smartest, and the youngest, and the awesome-est.
I learned this when my old boss Ronnie yelled to me across the cafeteria “did you hear Burlington is the healthiest place in the US? And the least healthy place is the U.S. State Department.” Zing!
Now watch:
Target: Women
My sister first introduced me to the “Target: Women” segments on Current.tv. They’re really good and funny, too, and full of truth facts.
Here’s one on weddings, which, apparently, have been on my mind (NO THEY HAVE NOT)
aah it won’t embed! http://current.com/items/88988193/target_women_wedding_shows.htm
I suggest looking through the archives. The one about Disney princesses is really funny, too.
Movie I Can’t Wait For: Where The Wild Things Are
Yes, I know. Short children’s books usually don’t make great feature-length films (see: cat in the hat, madeline, jumanji)
But when Dave Eggers writes the screenplay and Spike Jonze is the director, that starts sounding awesome.
That’s what’s up with Where the Wild Things Are. It sounds fucking amazing.
You can watch the leaked screen test here http://defamer.com/357717/where-the-wild-things-are-screen-test-captures-smell-of-childhood-in-a-bottle
My dino really rocks, he’s Kota the triceratops!
Here’s the commercial that made me and Emily realize that our family is incomplete:
I should probably mention that the price of the greatest creature in the world is $239.00. Batteries not included.
The only gift I want for Christmas is Kota
THE WALKING, RIDE-ABLE, TALKING, MUSIC-PLAYING TRICERATOPS
Watch these kids have a fucking blast with my future favorite thing in the universe:
KOTA WHY WON’T YOU JUST COME TO MY HOUSE AND LET ME TICKLE YOUR CHIN AND FEED YOU LEAVES??
wow- creepy commercial
i think this was an ad once…for what, i’m not sure.
my hood
junior told me about this lady comic writer. i literally live 2 floors above cafe grumpy and frequent the same places. weird.
she forgot to mention that a block or so away from peter pan is the cinderella gift/card shop on Manhattan Ave
Fart Party here. spanks junior.
Dear Videogum, You win.
I have been fighting Videogum for a while.. sure it’s funny, but Nora and Drew both love it so much, I had to disagree just to be a shit. Today they posted cat takes a ride on a Roomba and that is the best thing ever. At the moment, Meetza is terrrrrified of our Roomba, but maybe I can sit her down and have her watch this video and she’ll see how fun it looks. She watches TV now, btws. Last night I got home and she was tuning in to the 11pm news. She’s the smartest cat!
google can predict the future
Google knows everything and now they are predicting the future…. apparently google can predict flu outbreaks better than the CDC according to where and how often people use google to search for “flu” -both frightening and amazing.
check it out here. they also provide an in-depth explanation of their methods which is also frightening/interesting.
Blog of the Day: Swedish Dance Bands from the 70s
I haven’t done blog of the day in a while but this one was particularly awesome.
There are so many. They go on forever…. check out more of em here.
Thanks Adam
NSFW, unless you’re on someone else’s work computer..
We’ve been having internet problems at work and so the Verizon tech guy came today to check shit out. I hung out with him for a bit.. we talked about music, I ate a bagel, and he fiddled with my computer for a while. I checked email on my boss’s computer, so I wasn’t really paying attention to what he was doing. When he left, I checked my browser history – just cause I was wondering what sites are ‘internet test sites’ or what. Wonder no further.
I haven’t had a chance to watch yet.. but from the titles: “Man with world’s biggest penis” and “What’s in a name? (Penis)” I am pretty psyched. Thanks Verizon!!!
Barackuccino please!
Shout of to Molly for sending this to me. Looks delicious. Is this a comment on his skin color? I’m going with yes.
Barnard Zine Library
I’m just amazed that I can search for zine by topic on the Columbia/Barnard online library catalog and then check them out. Rad. I love that Barnard also has a zine librarian. Probably ranks in top ten coolest jobs ever.
Check out the website- has links to places you can buy zines in the city and BK and some articles about academia/librarianship and zines HERE.
Maybe you guys all knew about zine libraries in schools and public libraries, but this stuff is new to me. When I was young, we had to walk uphill 3 miles in the snow both ways (or drive to Columbus) to the nearest collective/infoshop/coffeehouse to BUY your zine. You kids these days have it easy….
hey chitowners or chicagoans or whatever you big city IL folk are called…
I don’t know where this is but it looks cool, so you should go and report back. I think there is going to be one in nyc as well….? Hopesies!
Your best beaver friend
Didn’t play this with sound, so if it’s super offensive, tough luck.
This is a commercial in Australia that made lots of people complain.
Seriously, GG?
THIS CYNDI LAUPER SHIT IS REALLY STUPID. I OFFICIALLY CALL JUMPING THE SHARK.
Also, Dan Humpfries shit is really stupid. And since when is NY Mag hurting for high school talent?
And another thing: I’m really tired of this “I Wish My Daddy Loved Me” from Chuck. And really? Mr. Bass is all ready to say “Well then, it’s out now. I killed a dude” after one conversation with Danny boy?
But I do love Mr. Geist (from Clueless).
This commercial for the ‘Wall-e’ DVD is the best part of GG tonight.
WALL-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WHAT IS WITH THE PUNK ROCK MUSIC WHILE JENNY IS CRYING??
I guess I’m kind of live blogging gossip girl tivoed. sorry blog readers.
Remember when all Michael ever said on ‘Lost’ was “I gotta find my son”?
Well, in real life he has a daughter.
Holiday cards with chairs!!!

John Hodgman’s campaign commercial
Also, apparently this commercial with Paris Review former editor George Plimpton kinda inspired him to play the PC in those commercials…
from this blog
Little Edie: The Ultimate Recessionista
From Jezebel: “Nowadays we’re inundated with tips for essentially how to manufacture the illusion of an unchanged lifestyle, and that’s not tenable. Little Edie, from madness or wisdom, didn’t do that. She created a new reality for a new set of circumstances.”
She’s received credit before in the form of high-end magainze spreads…but now it’s time Little Edie was recognized as the ultimate recessionista. She could make one garmet do so many things!
Sarah P’s office
In case you wanted to know what it looked like. Here’s her chillin in it on Friday:
And here’s her lounging around last year:
FYI: her dad killed that bear.
Best Facebook friend request ever.
no idea who this guy is, we have no friends in common… but, his photos just made my day.
