Remembering Noah Pozner With Tacos.

Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:35:41 -0500

“Noah Pozner wanted to work at a taco factory when he grew up. Tacos were his favorite food, and no doubt he wanted to ensure that the world kept producing tacos,” reads the introductory text on the website. “Help us create a virtual taco in his memory. Add your special ingredient below and tweet it. Voila! Tacos for Noah, all in memory of this very special Little Man!”

Fucking hell, man. Trying not to lose it.

dog park conversation, every single time

somuchtheworst:

“Is that your dog? Because it reminds me of this thing my dog does, let me tell you it, it is super interesting.”

“You know, my dog, does this thing, where he is the most best dog ever.”

“Well, my dog, does this other thing, while I ride my horse, that I have, because I have a horse.”

“Oh, my TWO horses do that all the time.”

Oh, I don’t have any dogs or horses, but my unicorn does the most interesting thing.

How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America

How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America:

givemesomethingtoread:

The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to come.

I know I’m warped now. Well, more warped.

Andy Daly kills it in perhaps my favorite bit of stand-up comedy ever. It’s glorious. (The whole album, Comedy Death Ray, is excellent.)

This is one of my favorite routines. It kills me every time when he says, “What else is going on?”

Witzelsucht

Witzelsucht:

bestofwikipedia:

Witzelsucht, from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht meaning addiction or yearning (sucht means searching), is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by the patient’s uncontrollable tendency to pun, tell inappropriate jokes and pointless or irrelevant stories at inconvenient moments. The patient nevertheless finds these utterances intensely amusing. (via lonelysandwich)

What if Wes Anderson had directed _Watchmen_?

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:45:52 -0500

Inspired by this article on Slate, Sean and I wondered how Mr. Anderson would have cast Watchmen.

Laurie Jupiter / Silk Spectre II … Gwyneth Paltrow

Jon Osterman / Dr. Manhattan … Bill Murray

Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias … Owen Wilson

Walter Kovacs / Rorschach … Ben Stiller

Edward Blake / The Comedian … Jason Schwartzman

Dan Dreiberg / Nite Owl II … Luke Wilson

Sally Jupiter / Silk Spectre … Anjelica Huston

Edgar Jacobi / Moloch the Mystic … Adrien Brody

Hollis Mason / Nite Owl … Gene Hackman

and, because he has to have a cameo:

Dr. Malcolm Long … Kumar Pallana

Stay tuned, there may be a script floating around from Anderson’s early attempts at writing the screenplay.

On remebering things past.

No Snickering - That Road Sign Means Something Else - NYTimes.com:

“Avoid aesthetically unsuitable names,” like Gaswork Road, the council decreed. Also, avoid “names capable of deliberate misinterpretation,” like Hoare Road, Typple Avenue, Quare Street and Corfe Close.

(What is wrong with Corfe Close, you might ask? The guidelines mention the hypothetical residents of No. 4, with their unfortunate hypothetical address, “4 Corfe Close.” To find the naughty meaning, you have to repeat the first two words rapidly many times, preferably in the presence of your fifth-grade classmates.)

““Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.””
