“Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that’s as good as you’re going to feel all day.”
– Dean Martin
Sweepea’s Drunk Quote o’ the Day
Dave Letterman – Beer Shooter
We’ve all been there. You’ve just finished slamming another Coors Light and damn it you just got back from the bathroom. Who needs to get up AGAIN to get another beer, right? Your dog is no good. You know better than to yell across the house for your girl to help you in your time of need. If only there was a robot that could help. If only…
He’s Chevy Chase and You’re Not: A Night with Community
Rushing from opposite sides of town to Beverly Hills after work, trying not to miss the 7pm start time, a time we usually are just getting out of work, my wife and I rushed through LA traffic, on our cell phones, trying to figure out where we could park our two cars and still be near each other for when the night ended. Finally getting to Melrose and La Cienega with fifteen minutes to spare, we got our tickets, hit the bathroom and grabbed some nice cheap BevHill drinks before the show. For her, a glass of Pinot Noir. Me, a Michelob. Both for the bargain price of $21 with tip. With drinks in hand, we made our way to our seats up in the balcony.
The night opened up with a clip of an interview with Chevy from the 70′s interview show “Inside The Comedy Mind” in which he declares he wouldn’t go back to television until his film career is waning. Yep, that was just about right. But thank god he ended up with these kids instead of most of the crap “comedies” on the tube these days. After the crap that we had to see him sink to in the years preceding “Community,” it’s so good to see him in his element again. Surrounded by talented funny people who push him to be creative again.
Greatest Mascot Ever?
Ladies and Gentleman, let me introduce you to Dartmouth’s Keggy the Keg. There’s nothing I can think of that would get the crowd pumped up better than a huge keg running back and forth during a game. If anything, it could at least remind everyone the real reason they’re freezing their ass off watching the Big Green lose to Yale or Harvard or Princeton or Penn or Holy Cross or… Okay, now I’m just being mean. Sorry B-Side.
According to Huffington Post:
In 2003, two students from the school’s Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine attempted to create a mascot that “wasn’t racist, biased or sexist, yet entirely unacceptable.” Ladies and gentlemen, meet Keggy the Keg.
Perfect.
Crazy Japanese Commercial of the Day
I’m really not sure what else I can add to this, yet another masterpiece from our neighbor to the West, or Far East, depending on your POV. I hear if you watch it three times you’ll understand LOST.
OK Go – This Too Shall Pass
Not much else can be said about this video other than it is remarkable. These guys just keep cranking out the best music videos. I love how you see the remains in the background of the other takes too. What a day this must’ve been. Simultaneously fun, exciting and definitely tedious. Being a PA and resetting this shoot is not a job I would like to be doing, but who can resist a masterful Rube Goldberg?
Date Night: Dinner & A Reading
Dinner and a movie. We’ve all done that hundreds of times, right? It’s an American institution. In New York, they have dinner and a show, but the choices are somewhat limited in the rest of the country. That is, everywhere but Los Angeles. And in the “Only in L.A.” category falls my dinner last night, but we’ll get to that in a second. First, a little background.
Last September, as my fiance and I were ramping up for our wedding, we went out for our last dating anniversary at a restaurant we’d wanted to try ever since seeing the head chef on Top Chef Masters. That chef was Suzanne Tracht and the restaurant was Jar. It was fantastic. Everything we ate that night was just crazy good and if the place wasn’t just a tad above our normal eating out budget, we’d be there every week. We did however, sign up to be on the mailing list.
Cut to 5 months later and we decided that instead of fighting all the crowds on Valentine’s Day, we’d wait a couple weeks and hit up Jar again. Come to find out it was also right around our three month wedding anniversary, it seemed perfect. (Yes, we’re big on anniversaries. Any excuse to go out to eat, really.) Read more
LouVision: Drinking Tecate & Watching “Dead Snow”
I agree with the Swiss-German chick. APRIL FOOL’S DAY is a classic.
(Also this is a test of my WordPress for Blackberry).
Canadian Women’s Hockey Team are Sorry Drunks
The men’s hockey team may have taken a beating from the American’s early on, but the women whooped some Yankee ass and then celebrated like a woman Canadian hockey player should, by drinking and smoking right on center ice. Let’s give it up for our cousins up north shall we?
Click here for an Amazing Slideshow of the celebration.
