I admit that some of Improv Everywhere‘s stunts can be hilarious (“Look Up More” and the recent “Food Court Musical” were great), but some, like “Slo Mo Home Depot”, can be kind of dumb.
Their latest is the best I’ve seen so far, though, and it has a really nice “feel-good” theme to it: take a random Little League game and make it the Best Game Ever for the parents, players, and coaches. Be sure to read the whole entry because there’s lots of details that don’t appear in the video, too!
So the office has that Friday-afternoon-before-a-holiday ghost town feeling to it. The boss has gone home and I’d wager folks are going to start trickling out over the next hour. He told me I could leave anytime I want to – which is dandy, except as a contractor, I get paid only for when I’m here. Ah well, 4:30 it is.
I’ve been updating a few things for Anthrocon Artists Alley, and giza set me up with editing privileges on the AA page on the AC site. That’s pretty cool, though I doubt I’ll use it much between now and July. Meanwhile, I’ve had a bit of fun with the new “My Maps” feature on Google Maps and created a map of stuff in the vicinity of Anthrocon. Pity they don’t yet have an easy way to plug everything into the Google Maps API, but hey, it was an interesting experiment.
Going into the weekend, I leave you with two nifty YouTube clips:
1.) The Gossip’s “Standing in the Way of Control” – I don’t much care for the video, but the song is quite catchy. I came across a reference to them in an article in today’s Chicago Tribune, “Proudly, loudly gay and on a major label? Sure”.
2.) While surfing around LJ I came across the_gneech‘s post with this infectious little ditty: ROFLMAO. Recommended for both World of Warcraft players AND fans of The Muppet Show 🙂
Have a great weekend, everyone!
I was checking the headlines on WBBM-TV’s website, and this bit was in the text traffic synopsis (usually only read by traffic reporters):
“Hot Spots: SOLDIER FIELD SPECIAL PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN FORCE …..THE SOLDIER FIELD SOUTH LOT WILL OPEN SUPER BOWL SUNDAY FOR TAILGATERS AT 8 AM. FANS ARE URGED TO TAKE COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS WHILE TAILGATING. (YES, I KNOW THE GAME IS IN MIAMI, AND THAT IT’S 2 DAYS AWAY…BUT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THIS STUFF!) .”
This is going to be a great show tonight. I can’t wait!
You know, I’ve always wondered about midget ninjas…
Yes, it’s true…Special Prosecutor Indicts Scooter!
Poor Kermit!
Due to the proliferation of Brazilian steakhouses, chophouses, and carnicerias in Chicago, Mayor Daley has been forced to declare a state of emergency. Dozens have died in horrible cases of meat exhaustion.
Yes, it’s a meatwave!
