Recent iPhone Pictures

Here's a batch of interesting pictures that I took with my phone.

Cool backwards hat old guy
This was the cool backwards hat old guy that was waiting in La Guardia when I got back from Chicago. He's got the khaki shorts, backwards cap, and attitude to match. Who's the geezer with that cool dude??

Glitter from "A Shot at Love" not looking so great
Here we have Glitter from A Shot at Love... not looking her best. I'm not saying that all women have to be size 0. But if you're not size 0, consider buying a slightly larger bikini bottom. It shouldn't look like it's stretched over a spare tire.

chopt line #2
Another picture of chop't around noon. This place sells salads. LOOK AT THAT LINE! Unbelievable.

Interesting Subway Trio
Last but not least, we have the "Interesting Subway Trio". I took this picture a while ago when I was in a sleepy state headed to work. I think the full denim tuxedo initially caught my eye. I fumbled to take this picture and was a little late. You can still make out the extremely long crowbar-like item on his handcart. He's clearly the leader. Jean vest guy has is holding random sacks which I can only assume are murder-related. Then the front guy has either an extreme skateboard or a Chinese musical instrument. It's possible that only the two jean crew members were together but I'm going to pretend otherwise.

Sidney Crosby's Unfortunate Mustache

In hockey, players grow "playoff beards" to show unity and represent their dedication to winning. Sidney Crosby has attempted to grow a beard and it's more like a furry chinstrap and a hilarious mustache. The Next One has his work cut out with Detroit and may not get a chance to taste Stanley Cup victory. But it's a given that Crosby will be back in the future with a much better approach to his playoff beard.

Sidney Crosby has 21 points during the playoffs and even less hairs on his upper lip

OCD Quote of the Day 5/27



In baseball, "PopoZão" is a slang term used by Philadelphia Phillies fans for a home run hit by Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard.[citation needed]
That tidbit is from the Wikipedia article for "Popo Zao", the awesome Kevin Federline song. Apparently, Phillies fans have adopted the term -- or at least a clevery wiki-vandal has left his mark. Thanks for this one, Brad.

DRINK4DANICA2008

Sunday marks DRINK4DANICA2008 (a party slash drinking game based on the Indy 500). We have a minimal budget but high hopes for our rag-tag IRL party. I decided to go with the "official" recipe for Donkey Punch. I had to go to the store and get two handles of rum today. We're expecting a medium-sized, high class (semi-alcoholic) crowd.





We're going to have to pick drivers drink based on their and then certain words/phrases/visual cues will also trigger drinking. Live twitter updates will appear in the box above but you can see all of the live party updates here. I created an image for the event using a picture from our White Trash party in 2006. You may be able to tell that we're doing our best "King of the Hill" pose. You may not be able to tell that I'm wearing jean shorts. That still pisses me off.





The game is based on My Name is Hurl (from the blog My Name is IRL) and drinking game (from the blog Indy Rant). Tentative game rules are listed below.



THE INDY 500 DRINKING GAME DRINK4DANICA

(bastard version of My name is Hurl)



1. Draw a driver - Drink 2 drinks if the driver is shown on camera, 1 drink if the drivers car is shown and chug an entire beer if the driver crashes.



2. Every lap that one of your co-drinker's driver leads is a lap that you drink.



3. Drink as a group when the following terms are mentioned: Any military word (i.e. "War", "Battle" or "Gunning"), "Marbles" (2x), "Halfshaft" (3x), "Catfight" (4x), "Lockstep", ""how we do it in a stock car", "debris", "Tony George", "Brian Barnhart" (2x), "Tony Stewart" (3x)



4. Also drink when: Another driver is asked about Danica! or Fisher Queen, Vision Racing co-owner Patrick Dempsey is mentioned (2x), Any Andretti other than Mario smiles, Scott Goodyear makes a joke

OCD Actual Conversation: Bruce Bowen is Gay

Apparently one of my friends has decided that Bruce Bowen is gay. It's actually pretty funny for me to imagine him with a hoop earring and some flamboyant clothing. The "bonghitters" mention is a reference to us getting smoked (pun somewhat intended) by the High Times softball team.

Bruce Bowen does not like these allegations

Anonymous Asshole Friend: do you think the NBA's nightmare will come true with another Spurs V Pistons final?
OfficialChrisDuncan: hahaha... that would be great
OfficialChrisDuncan: I'll kill myself if it's Celtics/Lakers and they talk about the tradition

OfficialChrisDuncan: god, that would be the worst

The Hottest Spot in NYC

The good places in New York always have people waiting outside. This place is so exclusive that the line starts forming at noon. It's the chop't in midtown. It's not a club. chop't is a place to get lunch. I know the line may move quickly... but this is insane. I guess lots of people like salad.

The guy bounding the opposite direction with some sort of grilled platter knows the score

Stoners vs. Boners 2008

A challenge was issued and accepted. On Wednesday, the Playboy office is facing High Times in softball. It's kind of a tradition, but this is the first time the game is being played in about 3 years. Apparently, facebook and College Humor were set to face off in beer pong... but then it got canceled. Softball is so much classier.

Our squad is made up of 16 people from marketing, editorial, security, and licensing. I think our security crew of Jimmy and Bobby will provide a lot of power -- they play in the Staten Island softball league. We're borrowing my good friend Danny from MTV and expect big things. I've been roiding for the past 4 weeks in preparation for the big day.

Currently, our sponsors are up in the air. We're thinking box wine but might end up with liquor in the clubhouse. In any case, I'm positive that we'll have lost track of the game by the end. We made some sweet uniforms for the game... BONERS 2008! The game is Wednesday in Central Park. Merciless stoner bashing is scheduled for a 6:30 PM start.

Hef would be proud
