"kick his ass seabass!!!"

in case you're wondering, the title has absolutely nothing to do with the content of this post. it's just that i watched dumb and dumber for like the 873rd time the other night and, as always, i can't stop making myself giggle by reciting various quotes from that film.

yes, i am 12.

anyway, short post today. busy.


best craigslist missed connection ever!

yesterday afternoon i received email tips from readers linking to a missed connections ad on craigslist that probably eclipsed in humor and audacity anything that i, recently labeled "notorious" for doing so by a certain publication, have ever pulled off.

when i went to the ad again just a few minutes ago in order to post it here, i discovered that it had been flagged and removed from the site. since it was a very short ad and because it was such a gem, i will attempt to recreate it here to the best of my recollection for the benefit of you, the reader...

M4M-you took a shit in my mouth

you took a shit in my mouth at the monster on sunday night. so if you were at the monster on sunday night and took a shit in someone's mouth, that was me.

find me.


disruptions by striking writers makes carson daly's shitty show even shittier

as you may or may not be aware, carson daly recently decided to carry on with his show without his striking writing staff. daly has been so desperate for funny material that he recently sent out an email blast to friends and family begging for jokes. the smoking gun published a copy of the email here...

carson daly seeking scabs

now this from defamer.com today, a tipster in the audience during last night's taping of carson daly live wrote in....

"Last night a group of striking writers, including a couple of recognizable names, infiltrated a taping of "Last Call With Carson Daly." The program was wrapping up the final two episodes of the season before going dark for the rest of the year.

During an interview with former NFL great Jerry Rice, a writer pretending to be an audience member heckled Daly, claiming he "needed a writer" to ask better questions. Production assistants and NBC security swooped upon the scribe and escorted him, without resistance, from the building.

A clearly disconcerted Daly asked whether Rice would be willing to start the interview over again, which he did.

After reintroducing Rice to the audience, who replicated their cheers, another incognito writer stood up and loudly declared: "I feel so bad for the striking writers! Can I please leave?" The scribe also pointed out Daly's use of cue cards, plaintively asking who was writing the show now.

NBC security, still expelling the first troublemaker, instantly scrambled back into the studio, then hurriedly ejected three more.

Daly, visibly rattled, appropriately enough had no witty impromptu comments to offer the perplexed audience. Rice was also addled, audibly asking: "What's going on?" A tense Daly responded with a nod, only offering: "I know what this is about."

After that, someone associated with the production took the stage and declared: "Anyone else interrupting the show will be prosecuted." This same person also advised "any other striking writers" in the crowd to "leave now."

Over twenty people scattered throughout the stands rose and dutifully shuffled out. The audience gasped at this. Daly visibly paled.

Ironically, one of this departing group had been awarded a prize moments earlier for being "such a great audience member." The prize was a gift certificate to El Pollo Loco.

Moments later, a traumatized Daly asked Rice whether he'd "mind starting the interview again."

dammit! i was hoping for like, 5th grade level at best. i figure that reaching the lowest common denominator will cast a net over a wider audience, don't you think?

so you people are basically all jackasses, right?!

curious, i put a few other blog sites to the test. other's receiving high school level status included the blog written by malcolm gladwell of the new yorker magazine and perez hilton. gawker.com and ny times food critic frank bruni's blog on the times website both rated at junior high school reading levels. my new friends emily and michelle's blog rated at the elementary school level, as did the huffington post's nora ephron and julia allison's blog.

is there any blog that rates college level on this site? something tells me that it's accuracy is a wee bit skewed.

test yours or other blogs here...
