Artist Qiang Gao "captured" this meeting of the members of the Tyrant Hall of Fame. It appears Pol Pot had a conflict that day and couldn't make it.

Last weekend I went to visit my old high school chum Clay in DC (Formerly Clay the Alaskan).
After brunch on Saturday, we headed to watch a baseball game between the Nationals and Mets, until we ran into one of Clay's friends who informed us that the Nationals were actually playing in New York that weekend. Our initial disappointment turned into happy stomachs because instead of the game, we popped fortuitously into this nearby cupcake bakery. I couldn't decide between the strawberry and carrot cake.
The blueberry looked tempting too. I'm not sure why the topless Smurfette is necessary though.
I decided on the carrot cake and it was f'awesome.
The bakery also had this painting of the way I like to eat my cupcakes.

Ta-da! I see what the artist did there.
I took some photos of the pieces there at the contemporary museum.
Scariest easter bunny ever.
Silly photo take 1.

Jay, me and Clay! Thanks guys for taking care of me!

Professional golfer and 2008 PGA player of the year Padraig Harrington mimicking Adam Sandler's character's unique golf swing in "Happy Gilmore." While accuracy suffers, Harrington manages to gain an additional 30 yards on his drives. I was particularly awed when both of his feet left the ground and he went "airborne" right before swinging at the ball. That is one aggressive drive! Even if you aren't into golf, you'll be entertained by this. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wguFY0DDoAU&fmt=18]

After attracting some notoriety for their "F*ck" snow globe, Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese are back with another cheeky variation on an "otherwise sweet and nostalgic toy." Reflecting the sin that guided us to our current economic zeitgeist, "Greed" is the first in an upcoming series of snow globes based on the biblical 7 deadly sins. Currently available in limited quantities at New Museum.
What do you get when two global superstars of pop culture combine and join forces? A shoe for sneakerheads and Hello Kitty fans. This collaborative effort between Sanrio’s Hello Kitty and Asics is due out November 1. Wear at your own risk.
I was enlightened (or perhaps punished?) recently of this "addictive" [her words] jingle for a children's toy and later a cartoon featuring bananas in pajamas. Literally. Bananas in pajamas. Did you see what they did there? She over-shared, telling me that she used to walk around when she was younger singing the song. Today she could only remember the first line, "Bananas in pajamas walking down the stairs," which she repeated over and over again. And again. I asked, "What's the next line? Something about 'bears?'" It turned out I'm prescient! The show however has me asking like the drugged up kid after visiting the dentist, "Is this real life?" I'm amazed that this YouTube clip has over 1.8 million page views.

On bitter cold nights, I like to put on my snuggie, yes that wearable blanket with sleeves, and rest on this faux fur hammock. You?
So you went to a pricey liberal arts college where your brilliant writing and edgy short student films garnered accolades from MCM professors. With diploma and confidence in hand, you look west to where dreams are made and fulfilled. No, not San Pornando Valley. Hollywood. You head to Los Angeles! You and your Macbook Pro filled with instant hit scripts and concepts. You put your charm to work. Network. You "got out there." Dated the right girl who put you in touch with the right people. Agent is now in your corner. Eureka! Meetings with executives are scheduled. They are thrilled with your pitch about a film that's mainstream artsy like "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," but better and with more box office appeal than a Pixar flick. Your Twitter and Facebook statuses are updated with teaser tidbits like "Judd (Apatow) is a cool guy. Meeting went great!" "Waiting in Universal lobby. BStiller is SHORT. lol." And the meetings did go great. You are already thinking about casting Megan Fox, deciding between the Range Rover or BMW, and deciding that Judd is actually a douche. You check your (new) iPhone for that expected green light phone call. Nothing. Radio silence. Eventually they get back to you. "Sorry, but we've decided to go in another direction." A few months later you're walking to your catering gig and spot this movie poster.
I would have had gotten all the looks during recess if I had these Cookie Monster Nikes in pre-school.
