10 Things

21 May

Hey there. So since I was blogging about The Ten Commandments not too long ago, and I was just tipped off to this really funny mash-up, I thought I’d post it here so y’all can take a look.

Just click on it to play, or go to YouTube.com and watch it there. Enjoy.

Love This Dirty Water?

19 May

And you thought the Charles River was unsafe.

At least it’s not filled with Sunny D, like this river near London is.

Poor fishies.

Hot Damn

17 May

Finally, after a week of rain, the sun has found its way back to Boston today.

It’s a good thing, because there were a lot of unhappy people in town the past few days. This woman below must have lived next to one of them.

Thanks to Universal Hub for the tip, and Evan for the screen grab.

Food for Thought

7 May

I don’t understand the Walk for Hunger.

I mean, who is for hunger? Shouldn’t the event be called the Walk Against Hunger?? Wouldn’t that be a more accurate name? It’s kind of like WalkAmerica. You don’t actually walk America. Just six miles of it.

I’m just wondering. Don’t mean to mock such worthy causes.

Olé!

5 May

I’ll bet you didn’t know this, but Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays.

No, it’s not because I have lots of Mexican friends and I respect their heritage.

And no, it’s not because I love to throw back a good margarita every now and then.

It’s because of the utter simplicity of the holiday’s name. Continue reading

The Guy’s Got Balls

2 May

I hate to be crass, but um, Derek Jeter does himself no favors by promoting the Yankees’ “mini balls” on the cover of today’s New York Post.

What is he — and the team itself — thinking?

This One’s For Evan …

Reflecting on Copley Square

30 Apr


Over the years, I’ve walked around Boston and taken the same pictures multiple times.

But I don’t think I’ve ever taken these … until today. Continue reading

Where in the World is Jill Carroll?

7 Apr

Alright, so this post is a little similar in theme to yesterday’s, but I thought it was funny enough to post.

A guy named Andy Carvin decided to go to Logan Airport last weekend when Jill Carroll was landing in town and then document the experience.

However, Carroll bypassed the terminal and was whisked away right from the tarmac, leaving a number of disappointed journalists to just wait around pointlessly.

Still, Carvin was there to file a report, and that’s exactly what he did. If you’ve got enough bandwidth, you can watch it here.

Where in the World is Eva Longoria?

6 Apr

Here’s a good challenge: Can you find Eva Longoria using the satellite functionality of Google Maps?

Apparently, Maxim magazine, in celebration of its 100th issue, has blown up its cover from January 2005 — the one that had Eva on it — put it in the desert somewhere near Las Vegas (specifically, it’s just outside Primm, near the California state line), and if you’re that good, you can actually see it.
