Dick Chicken

I have no idea.

I was recently on my way home from somewhere. This is close to my apt and I found it funny. On the side of the USPS Storage Box, someone had written DickChicken. Hehe.

What do Hipsters and Marshmallows have in common?

They’re both white and soft! *Awesome!* According to Gothamist, the NYPD is apparently now calling Hipsters marshmallows. I couldn’t love the name more.

Best email exchange of the Week

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to send a quick note reminding ya’ll that the [Texas Tech] game will not be televised this weekend and our alumni bar will not be airing the game via radio, but please do not let that discourage you for the following weekend… UT vs TEXAS TECH!!! I will be sending out an email with all the pertinent information in regards to game day, and I hope you all come out and support our Red Raiders.

WRECK ‘EM TECH!!
L & E

Response:

Dear New York Techsans/L/E,

I have been following TTU alums activities in NYC for years and greatly appreciate what our local alum club leaders are doing. I have a few ideas and wanted to see what y’all are thinking, feel free to write back your feedback and suggestions. I think we should have some gatherings in addition to football game related activities. Some of us have weekend classes or other activities planned during the weekend, others live outside of Manhattan and coming back here is not very convenient. Why don’t we try meeting during the week after work for coffee/tea or at the Bryant park or Central park? Techsans – feel free to propose other meet-up ideas.

I would also welcome getting back in touch with Techsans who are interested in any of the following topics:

- Software Engineering (including solutions for the investment community, IB, PE, VC)
- Improvisation Comedy (we can organize our own games)
- Russia, Ukraine, Taiwan
- Ninja Warrior or strength training enthusiasts
- Outdoor activities in Queens or Long Island

We could also meet in Queens/Long Island or Midtown, so if you happen to be near Kew Gardens/Forest park OR midtown/Bryant park – give me a holler. By the way, I am on LinkedIn as well – here is my profile.

Response to a small group of friends on the list:

Please tell me that one of you are meeting up with [the guy who wrote the last email]? This email has made my Friday that much better. Favorite part you ask? When young [guy who wrote email above] asked for individuals interested in: Improvisation Comedy (so that you can organize your own games) Russia, Ukraine or Taiwan and of course Ninja Warrior (or strength training enthusiasts).

You all must go to Kew Gardens, meet this person and send me pics.
Thank you for your time.

“I wanted to do it cause it’s fun. It’s fun to do bad things.”

“I wanted to do hoodrat things for my friend.”

Wow. There are seriously so many things wrong with this video and the way some children are raised.

Wedding Entrance Dance

This is amazing and I love it and it brought a huge smile to my face. Nevermind the fact that for years I had a huge crush on Chris Brown (it was totally inappropriate and once he started to really grow up [and beat women] it ended) and that I love this song. Great, fun idea!

Update: Yesterday when I watched this, there were less than 10,000 views. This morning there are more than 1.2 million views. Crazy!

Michael Jackson Memorial Ticket Want Ad on CraigsList

This is by far the best thing I’ve seen all day.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

This morning I was next to a girl on the subway who was reading something – and it is my habit always to look at what people are reading. I couldn’t see the cover of her book, but I could see the top of a page. I looked for a title and found a chapter title – The Blowjob Follies. I thought how audacious she must be to read a sex book on the train or a “romance novel.” Then she turned a page and I was able to see the cover. The book was Tucker Max’s I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Then I smirked and watched her laugh at the ridiculous stories the rest of the ride.

Sycamore Street Press

Loving Sycamore Street Press – a new find through Daily Candy.

Some really cute cards with sort of a someecards feel:

These gift cards are really cute! You could use them for just about anything.

Hahaha

Do I Have Pig Flu?

Sent to a friend and he said:

It says, YES, I have it…and I just bought the shotgun.

“I’m passin out…”

Pay attention to the whisper. His whisper makes it that much more funny.

The producer clearly saying “wait, we need a shot of him laying on the floor before we go to break,” is great.
