My buddy Dave mentioned this bit of wicked coolness, and it needs to be shared, so here it is:

Seriously, that is just too cool for words.

Advertising firms should hire at least one pervert per ad team. I'm convinced of it.

Why am I convinced of it? Because of True North Snacks. I'll give them a free plug, since their commercials have been making me giggle like a nervous schoolgirl for weeks now. No, no, guys, this one's on me. No monetary compensation needed: the lulz are enough.

So I saw Cloverfield this weekend, and I loved it. It's fucking great. I have just one caveat:

If you get motion sick, this may not be the movie for you. The whole thing is filmed first-person perspective as if it was through a hand-held cam-corder type thing. It's like Blair witch, only more so.

That being said, I'll now engage in some spoilers and such.

*SPOILER ALERT*

This is an unfiltered scan of a pen-sketch I did in a couple of meeting yesterday. My brains were turning to gelatin, and threatening to ooze out of my ears, so I had to start drawing like a mad man to prevent catastrophic nervous system failure.

So it turns out that Dumbledore is gay! Now, at this point in time, there is an epic list of things I could say. I could start breaking out the gay jokes, or wax poetic on societal tolerance and such. But really, many other people will say more eloquent and informed things than I could ever manage.

So a while back I was discussing a former over the counter* prescription diet pill that went over the counter: Alli. At about the same time that this diet pill was released, Wendy's put out the mother of all grease bombs, the Baconator. Coincidence?

Anal seepage. Two words that induce terror in the mind of most people. :shock:

Ok, so there's this new diet product called Alli (pronounced Ally), which is the first FDA approved diet pill. It works by binding to some digestive enzymes in your stomach, stopping the absorption of about 25% of the fat you eat. It's not a magic bullet; you still need to eat a low-cal diet to actually lose weight (as all diets that actually work require).

Just found out a few minutes ago that Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell died in his office, most likely of some sort of heart condition.

As an aside, wikipedia has already been updated. man the community that works on that site act fast...

 

So this morning, as I stagger around like the living dead, I've found that I am out of coffee creamer.
