Bike Math

I’m really interested in getting the newly announced Transition TR250. With some simple gorilla math, the bike–with the build kit I want–would cost ~$5000.
That’s a lot of money to spend on a bicycle. While talking with my brother-in-law, I mentioned that this is going to be a hard sell to my wife. He pointed out [...]

Slap Chop Rap

So, I’ve been watching this for several days now. Maybe over 200 times total. I just start it, let it play in the background, and then go and start it again. I just love this song. You should too.

“Hi, It’s Vince from Slap Chop. You’re going to be in a great mood all day.”

Drunken History: One of the best video sets of the year

When I first stumbled into the Drunken History series, I immediately knew I had found something special and beautiful. Take a bunch of very smart, yet youngish folk, and have them recount specific tales of yore, while under the influence. It’s brilliant.

Um, is this a joke? Amazingly Gross Carmex Ad Campaign

It seems that CARMEX® is either the recipient of a jokester advertising agency or they are truly a progressive bunch, regardless, their new ad campaign “Share the Tingle Video Contest” has me floored. UPDATE: for clarifications, I want to point out that I’m floored because nobody thought about how bad/gross that sounds, not that I [...]

What in the hell is wrong with this world?

I don’t think there’s anything I can say that improves upon this leprechaun search.

Short conversation between me and my wife

Holly: “Alright, enough vacations. We need to start investing in assets.”
Me: “Memories are assets, Holly.”
Holly (sarcastically): “OOOOH, that’s good. You should write that down.”
So I did.
