1. 2. Were bolo ties ever in?
3. Should the color of the bolo tie match the color of the socks or the Crocs?
4. I'm partial to this one. Yes or no?
Where's Waldo during Fashion Week?
Universal picked up the rights to Waldo and is preparing to adapt it to the big screen as a live action film. Ugh.
The plot of that project revolved around Waldo, now 30, ending up traveling through time after accidentally activating a malfunctioning travel machine.
First, I need to address the intern's previous McDonalds entry. I told them I could only pay in PBRs. Anyway, let me class up this joint again with Ned Kahn's remarkable facade to Switzerland's Technorama (an interactive science center), which is "composed of thousands of aluminum panels that move in the air currents and reveal the complex patterns of turbulence in the wind." Check out the amazing video of this in action on a windy day: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWIhkvgg6MQ&fmt=18]
As an intern on an intern salary, McDonalds is a necessary evil good in my life. An intern can't afford drinks at Milk & Honey. An intern can however afford the McNuggitini which is basically a liquid happy meal for happy hour.
Recipe below with a pinch of wit.
Ingredients:
2 McNuggz (plus more for snacking) 1 tub McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce (plus more for licking off pinky finger) 1 lg. Mcdonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake (plus more for bringing all the boys to the yard) 1 bottle Vanilla Vodka (recommended brand: Absolut)
Open the McDonalds bag. Eat one McNugg each, followed by two bites of the Filet-o-Fish (make sure you don’t tell anyone that you eat Filet-o-Fishes).
Mix three or four shots of vanilla vodka in the McDonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake, followed by one shot each directly into your mouth.
Rim each martini glass with McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce, and pour milkshake/vodka mixture into the glass. Garnish with a McNugg (which is to be swiped along barbeque sauce rimmed glass after the milkshake has been finished, and consumed with pure, unadulterated glee).
And accompanying this fine liquor is of course, the McGangBang, an entire McChicken sandwich placed inside a double cheeseburger.
This sandwich incidentally can be made for a total of $2.16, which should satisfy both your hungry stomach and your empty wallet.

An amusing article with TV actor Mike Doyle whose recurring role as Ryan O’Halloran, a forensics expert on "Law and Order: SVU" came to an end tonight in the season finale. That makes it seven on-screen deaths for Doyle now.
“I’ve been shot with a shotgun, shot with a machine gun. I’ve been blown up in a boat. I’ve been burned in a submarine fire. I’ve been strangled and today, stabbed.”
He paused, counting on his fingers.
“Oh — and I was electrocuted on a fence. After being gang-raped.”
I can't believe I've never noticed this before with movie trailers. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gbjmjgfnpg&fmt=18]

In "Correspondence: From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe," artist Suzanne Treister reproduced in pencil drawings of 324 letterheads "primarily fromGovernment and Presidential Offices, Ministries of Defence, NGOs and arms manufacturers across the world, both past and current." While browsing through the artist's series I was struck by the common denominator that unifies all the letterheads: their sheer banality. On a side note, I'm curious as to how the artist obtained copies of all these letters to reference for this project.

Britain Supreme Court's recent decision to categorize Pringles as potato chips instead of "savory snacks" as argued by Pringles has cost its parent company Procter & Gamble U.K. $160 million in taxes.
In Britain, most foods are exempt from the value-added tax, but potato chips — known as crisps — and “similar products made from the potato, or from potato flour,” are taxable. Procter & Gamble, in what could be considered a plea for strict construction, argued that Pringles — which are about 40 percent potato flour, but also contain corn, rice and wheat — should not be considered potato chips or “similar products.”
