Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

See if you can guess why I find this screen shot from the new trailer for Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist particularly interesting.

Purpies and Kitties, dead

If there’s one thing I can't stand anymore on the Internet, it’s cute kitties and adorable puppies distracting me from what I’m supposed to be doing. And now there’s these sites, distracting me even more:

Last Show at Rififi

2008-07-31T08:19:00.007-04:00

Last night was a weird one for the NYC comedy scene. Rififi, the East Village comedy staple, finally hosted its last show. Rumors about its closing seemed to surface and disappear for months, but apparently landlord and money issues finally secured the venue’s fate. The manager texted the employees and emailed the show producers yesterday. The email can be read over at comedian Matt Ruby’s blog, The Sandpaper Suit.

This will be a major blow to the NYC alt-comedy scene, and great shows like Totally J/K, Gelmania, and The Greg Johnson and Larry Murphy Show will (hopefully only temporarily) be homeless.

On the bright side, last night’s final show was a doozy. Joe Mande and Noah Garfinkel (Totally J/K) hosted, and a handful of New York’s best comedians performed to a packed house.

Lots of great pictures by Mindy Tucker are HERE. And no, I wasn't really the headliner. Even the guy that wrote the line-up was a jokester.

Another American Falls in Vietnam

2008-07-14T10:12:00.007-04:00

For the second year in a row, Miss USA fell down at the Miss Universe competition (held in Vietnam). The fall isn't much to look at, I just posted because I was proud of my post title.

And the horribly, unfortunately named intersection across from the Catholic church:

That's right, HIS COCK is across from the Catholic Church! The Pope rode down HIS COCK! 100 bishops rode down HIS COCK! The buses dropped 40,000 Catholics off on HIS COCK!

Every joke ever - go ahead and make 'em.

The Adam & Trevor Show!

2008-04-15T22:15:00.004-04:00

Comedy duo Adam Newman & Trevor Williams host a variety show that features their favorite alternative comedy acts from all over NYC, while parlaying their own alternating cast of characters. Whether in guise as the effeminate southern death metal duo, "Uber Luber", or vintage 90's teenage bro's "Rad Dudes", the two are anything but your typical comedy hosts.

My Brother Dresses Up My Dog
