“If you want to write rock lyrics…
…you must learn about where the hobbits dwell.” I forgot how great Yo La Tengo’s video for Sugarcube until right now.
An oldie but a goodie.
I love ‘Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me’
…and I love Peter Sagal even more after watching this, his 1988 appearance on Jeopardy:
Dan sent that to me ages ago, but I’m just getting around to posting it now. Nora fail.
Also, I love this story he wrote for the NY Times Magazine in 2007. So adorable.
Nailed It!
Czech photographer Vlad Artazov uses nails to create sculptures of everyday situations. A couple examples:
The rest of the series is here. Via Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish, which has been one of the best news sources over the past month.
8-bit cover of Magnetic Fields
This is a great 8-bit cover of one of Magnetic Field’s 69 Love Songs (an album that is deserving of its own post). Here is 8-bit All My Little Words:
And here is the original:
from Offworld via Trent Reznor (who has been sober for 8 years today. Good for you.)
Surf’s up!
shamelessly stolen from the twitter of ed droste from grizzly bear (who i saw on thursday night and who put on an incredible show).
and on the topic of grizzly bear, here is an adorable feature from drowned in sound. it has to do with moms. worth a read.
LOL
i snorted a little bit when i watched this.
Autotuned news
maybe the third time in history that autotune has been used for something not annoying.
My new favorite YouTube video
found on ed droste’s twitter. he also posted a cute video of a kid dancing to the song “two weeks”:
Happy Birthday CrapWeLike!
Today is CWL’s 1 year anniversary! In celebration, here are our top three posts most trafficked posts of all time (sorry, definitely not our BEST posts..)
#3: NSFW, unless you’re on someone else’s work computer
aka – the post about the Verizon guy looking up kind of dirty vids on my work computer including Man With World’s Biggest Penis and this:
#2: Suri Cruise is so cute my eyes can’t compute
#1 – For Liz
Honorable mention goes to this dog is better than michael phelps.
Top search engine referral terms for the year: ed westwick, bulldog puppies, michael phelps, suri cruise, the hills, nom nom nom
in conclusion: Gossip Girl, Suri Cruise and penis vids are the way to go. Here’s to another year of CWL and maybe actually moving over to crapwelike.com.. somedayy, I promise.
Poochie is running
Judging from the number of views this video has, apparently I’m late to this. But it’s still awesome.
Thanks Isabel.
sharks are no longer killing machines
University of Florida shark researcher George Burgess says the number of reported shark attacks worldwide dipped to a five year low last year.
there is only one solution to this problem. a masked crime spree/dance party:
kittens inspired by kittens
a little girl narrates her book of kittens.
thanks aaron.
EDIT: for some reason its not letting me insert tags, so i’ll just add this thought to the post: this is exactly how nora was when she was six.
EDIT 2: not sure why its not showing up, so here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtX8nswnUKU
“blog” of the day: i lego n.y.
i don’t know if this actually counts as a blog (it’s blog-like) but several people sent this to me (including exintern dan who posted it on his gchat status message first and therefore “wins”). beautiful little set of photos from cristopher niemann of tiny things made out of legos that remind him of nyc.

Dan loves wicker, and I love stripes
…which might lead you to believe that these seats would be something we like. Personally, I think they’re a little gross. Dan? Care to weigh in?
They are sold here
a great japanese game show
as far as i can tell, this show is called “torturing your pets with food,” and i love it.

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!
we’ve all earned the new puppy
thanks to adam…you’ve earned the new puppy that is coming with us to the whitehouse.
video of a cat getting its head stuck in a glass
really not much to this one.
two things to remember today
1. voting makes you a worthwhile person
2. 
credit for the photo goes to jess. click it for a bigger version.
get it.
via freewilliamsburg via gothamist:
And related, only because it involves the subway: A Free Williamsburg writer was on a L train (of course) with a woman was watching hardcore porn on her iPod and saying, “Oh, here we go, here we go, THERE YOU GO, GET IT, GET IT, OHhhhhhh Damn, let’s get a close-up, zoom in, wake up New York check this shit out, close-up New York City!!!”
almost as good as the time i saw a woman start trying to hit some dancing kids and telling them “i wish i had my knife.”
these bike riders in traffic=no
edit (first post was too hasty): this will not embed (damn you vimeo). i guess that these guys are good bike riders, but they are idiots. if nora saw most them, she’d start yelling at them for not wearing helmets.
but the parts&labor song used in the video is good, so props for the music choice.
Kim does Ty Ty really well
Kim Stolz, aka the MTV news reporter and former ANTM contestant that went to college with Intern Dan, does a pretty awesome Tyra impression. She was apparently pissed that Ms. Banks used “bitchy reporter” as a scenario for Top Model, since she and Tyra had a run-in at the FIERCEE Awards… (so hilarious- pronounced ‘fierce-ey’ and made up by Tyra, of course). Anyway. Here she is interviewing some other model at the real Fierceeeeeeeees.
Video here. The voiceover is the best part.
I really like mid-century modern illustrations and places
Thanks Samuel Owen Gallery!!! These fucking rock. I want them all.
Steph- this one’s for you:
Becky, they didn’t have one for Indianapolis, but this reminded me of you:
Eems, this one’s for you:
And Danny, this is for you because we’ve never really gone on vacation together:
Remember that time I went to Tokyo
and was mistaken for a Spaniard? So embarrassing.
It can’t embed, so check it out here:

. It has some butts in it, so don’t watch it someplace that will get you in trouble.
stolen from videogum
WAAAAAAAHHHH!!
WFMU’s blog titled this photo “Best Baby Photo Ever.” It was hard not steal the title along with the photo.
You light up my life
hahaha, I’m so funny. these lamps are awesome.
Read Homebug’s guide to these lamps here
Funny story: Intern Dan and I went into a store where everything was expensive and they had lamp #4 there (which is totally fucking huge – they have it in Daniel’s office on Ugly Betty [see here]) and Dan tried to adjust it and move it and I freaked the fuck out and told him to stop because he was going to break it. Wait, that story sucks, sorry guys. And sorry for yelling at you in the store, Danny.
obama? what a fabric!
.jpg)
this is the best news story of all time.
Neighbors of Andy Lacasse say the sign, which says “OBAMA HALF-BREED MUSLIN [sic]” breaches the fine line between free speech and inappropriateness.
“I got nothing good to say about Obama,” Lacasse told News 13.
Lacasse put the sign in his front yard four days ago.
“If I see anybody touching that sign, I got a club sitting right over there,” Lacasse said.
stolen from adam’s gchat status.

i blatantly stole it from gawker. also newly reorganized wordpress.com page confused me.
its like project runway and top chef combined into one and for guinea pigs
in peru, they hold an annual guinea pig festival. it includes a cute fasion show (just like project runway!) where i suppose a king and a queen are crowned:
and after they crown the winner, they eat the guinea pigs (just like top chef!). look at the gallery if you don’t believe me (its pictures 7 and 8).
I don’t get it
I think this is supposed to be cute or something…maybe romantic? If so, it’s beyond me, although I do like the grey/black fading in the numbers and the hot pink. But yeah, the big design element with the “you” and “me” business is…meh…I dunno
I left my cell phone at the home office today
..so Meetza will be handling my calls.
Dan: asleep on the job!
Dan: i just called your phone, meetza has quite an attitude. i think you need a new assistant.

Emily: nothing kills a boner quicker
Dan: speaking of boners:
Making Heat Matate
I am working from the home office right now… which is kind of hard to do and stay focused. Let me illustrate:
