Hi everyone - I’d like to try a little experiment. Right now, I want you to click over there on the Google-sponsored link (it’s up and to the right - directly underneath the “Help the economy” header). No excuses - if you’re reading this now you’re obligated to click, or there’ll be big trouble. (And of course, because I’m under legal obligation to say so, please seriously consider purchasing the product or service that you are directed to.) I’m curious to try this because even after my diatribe requesting that people click the link (see previous entry), I’ve only received 5 clicks. I’ll post the results of this experiment in a few days, and any profit I receive (it’s only a few cents per click) will go directly toward getting YOU drunk the next time we hang out.

Anyone who sends text messages on their phone knows the value of pre-programed generic responses. The default set includes “Thanks”, “On my way”, and “Where are you?” but I’ve added a few more out of necessity. To the comments!

This Friday, in addition to being St. Paddy’s Day, will mark the most rockingist day in all of history, as I’ll be back behind a drumset playing Irish/folk/rock tunes in Brooklyn. The unstoppable duo of Mishti and Danielle (formerly of “Muddy Daughters” fame) will be leading the group, while the endlessly talented Paul JM lays down a bass groove so solid you might as well cancel your colon cleansing appointment for Monday morning.We’ll be at the Jam for Bread Cafe, at 333 Henry Street (corner of Pacific) in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn from 8 to 10 PM. I can’t vouch for the place but I know they serve beer and wine, so how bad could it be? Moderately bad? Horrible? Let’s find out!

This is a little snippet of a Robbin Ford song that I think would be GREAT in a commercial. Any ideas what the commercial would be like?

I just read that Yahoo has done a 180º and is now allowing people to use “Allah” in a Yahoo email address. So just for fun I checked out the following email addresses, and they’re all available:
allahbegtodiffer@yahoo.com
allahpassonthatthankyou@yahoo.com
allahmyheart@yahoo.com
allahbeinthebathroom@yahoo.com
allahbewaitingforyou@yahoo.com
They’re yours for the taking. Any others, internet?

Thanks Google!

For some reason I felt compelled to visit StarJones.com to see what I’d find. And I’m happy to report that it’s EXACTLY as I’d imagined it. That is all.

The Official Dick Cheney Hunting Accident Joke/Pun Roundup

Let’s all pray that the security camera footage of this finds its way onto the internet.

While Jordan and I were discussing the brilliance of Predator 2’s tagline, “He’s in town with a few days to kill,” we also admired the perfection of the 1992 classic “Dr. Giggles” and its tagline, “The Doctor is out… of his mind.” We then racked our brains for more Crazy Doctor-type taglines… To the comments!

Thanks again, Google!

This story really cracks me up.

And what especially tickles me is imagining an Aussie say “Because he’s lost a lot of weight, he’s a very narrow person, so he squeezed his way through the gap in the brick wall.”

Here’s to wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!

All the best,Gabe, Mike, and Mike

This is a real ad. Seriously. Oh how I wish I’d made it…
