Party Crashing at SXSW


I was walking down 6th street in Austin, Texas, looking for a WordPress blog party where I had VIP access. Passing an upscale restaurant a doorman asked if I was looking for the Chevy Roadtrip party. I said “sure, am I late?” The doorman wasn’t sure. Once inside I was greeted by a chipper Chevy hostess who told me to enjoy cocktails at the bar. I ordered a gin and tonic because I wanted to get right to the business of the free drink. Beer is great but liquor gets you drunk quicker.

With a second drink now in my hand. I started to chat up some already chatty bloggers. Chevy had paid select bloggers to drive across the county in a new Chevy whilst blogging about it. I discovered that I was at a filming to document the last leg of the trip, the arrival. Advertising film crews took photos and video of everything.

Again, I thought I was late to the party. There was a ton of food and everyone must have already eaten, right? They had these awesome southwest egg rolls, mac-n-cheese balls and the like. A girl said “I didn’t know we could eat yet.” – I wasn’t late after-all.  People were not supposed to eat yet because the crew hadn’t filmed the food yet. I blamed a fictitious dude by telling people he told me to start eating.

My third drink from the bar was now in hand. A Chevy rep started talking to me. She wanted to know what team I was on. Time seemed to slow down, “team?”, I thought. “Green”, I said. The lady looked puzzled but I didn’t blink. She excused herself, I chugged my gin and tonic and got out before I was kicked out.

Here’s the video they were filming (yawn): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z94zEZZpXHY

I Couldn’t Agree More

Krave is Delicious

Krave cereal is composed of little pockets of chocolate, imagine mini Milano cookies. Very tasty I must say.  I detected grains in there somewhere. My endorsement is not paid, but if Kellogg’s wants to make that happen I am down. I was hoping it wouldn’t suck as it costs $4.50 at Fry’s. The name “Krave” is my only complaint, sounds like a cheap Vegas night club.

Caillou – The Hairless Freak Child

This is Caillou, his life is animated and narrated like so – “Caillou and his friends were playing dinosaurs but started to play too loud.” It is very manipulative and full of behavioral control elements. “Caillou realized they were being loud and suggested they played outside.”

Caillou is bald, so he probably has some kind of creepy kid-cancer. My favorite episode is where he is molested by a giant who helped him wash a car. Oh yea, he is also Canadian.

Tesla Roadster – Electric is Sexy

Tesla Roadster - Electric is SexyFound in the Walmart parking lot. That is a reflection, not bumper damage. The paint was super glossy. I waited a few minutes to see if they owner would appear. I wanted to see which Walmart shopper owned a $109,000 car.

You Did It!

You Did It!
Congrats Jesus freak, that 1,000th flyer you left on a random car in the Target parking lot was the one that made a difference. Just like a door-to-door salesmen, but with less guts, you’ve won.

I am a satirist, like David Sedaris. Notice how this tiny flyer doesn’t even have contact information, I will have to murder a random Jesus-fish toting stranger in response. Okay, enough joking around.

How would people feel if I placed “Jesus is not lord” on their cars? It wouldn’t be cool would it? I respect other people, even if I don’t agree with them, but it might be time to fight back.

Today I’ve placed an order for “Jesus is not lord” micro-flyers, each flyer contains a paragraph about respecting those who don’t “believe”. My flyers will be placed on the cars in the parking lot of each church who posts a flyer on my car (and leaves contact info, most have it).

Mind The Gap!


Rimmel London has a new ad for “Scandal Eyes” mascara. I am in the business of writing, so I work hard on words, puns and spelling. This model is in the business of being pretty so, she needs to work harder on fixing that large gap in her teeth. The gap hurts her chances of becoming Mrs. Marcus II. Photo 2

Gatorade is Easy


Nice try Gatorade, but soccer is still boring. They should play on ice, that would be much more entertaining (Google “Hockey”). Abby Wambach has an old face and I don’t like the play on the word “easy.” Grumble grumble grumble.

Crushed Doritos Quesadilla

Crushed Doritos QuesadillaI tried to pull a Taco Bell this evening with a Doritos integration of my own. I must say, it was not good.

Lion Tries to Eat Baby


Ha! The top video comment is also funny, “What the fuck? Quit torturing that lion and feed him/her that baby.” This is a copy, the original (with ads) can be found here.

Talk Slower and Pronunciate


Can anyone understand what the fuck this guy is saying in the new Dark Knight Rises trailer? I can’t understand him in any of the three trailers. I think Condescending Wonka  would say, “Oh, you wear a scary mask and talk funny? How original.”

Hawaiian Decorations Get FriskyThese festive decorations are from the dollar store. I think they look like real people via forced perspective.

Bad Advice in Boxing History


Doc Louis gives the worst advice. What a jerk. I’m trying to beat this game and my virtual trainer is pimping the Nintendo Fan Club. On a side note, doesn’t Doc look like Stanley Hudson from The Office?

Grandma’s House to Swim


Gaze deeply at the coolest grandma on earth as she has a pool. She isn’t my grandma as I stole this picture off the Internet.

If an elderly lady in my neighborhood mistook me for her grandchild, what would be the harm if I played along? Let’s say that maybe this old lady has a pool, if I should swim in it all summer pretending to be her kin, what would be the harm? I wouldn’t rob her or anything. If anyone knows such a lady, let me know.
