Sock Man

This is a story by Gordy, my little brother.

Sock man

Chapter 1 stinky socks:

Once upon a time there was a boy with stinky socks. Somehow he could control to do what ever he what it with the stinky socks like whip people. and make the socks talk.

I Hate You Sarah Marshall

First of all, sorry about the hiatus. I was away for Spring Break in sunny Folly Beach, South Carolina for a fun-filled week of frisbee, beer, and sunstroke. But i'll write about that in more detail in another article.

The theme for this post came from when I was driving around Chicago tonight and saw some interesting billboards:





Also on the billboard, but not as obvious as the smack-talk, is the URL www.ihatesarahmarshall.com. My interest piqued, I checked out the site as soon as I got home. Apparently it is the brainchild of Peter Bretter, a TV composer who was recently dumped by, you guessed, Sarah Marshall, the attractive star of Crime Scene. The posts go from him being hilariously spinelessly in love with her at the earlier blog posts and hating her towards the end. He used the money he made from selling her engagement ring (which he never got to use) to make these hate billboards.




Or so you would think. Really the site and the billboards are a really well done teaser for the upcoming movie from the director and producer of 40-Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, called Forgetting Sarah Marshall. No, there is no real Peter Bretter and no real billboard war. Its just brilliant advertising. Looks like its gonna be a pretty good movie, and exceedingly well hyped.

Under the Table and The Red Menace

So. This is the story of my roommate. When I came back to my room he was already about 3 beers in, which was half way to his 6-drink capacity. He was playing some beirut, taking shots, falling down, and fighting somewhere in the meantime, all of this taking well above his maximum. Then he found the fan.

First he just humped it for a while, then he decided it was a better pillow.

Shortly after that the absolute chaos began, and I escaped as my hapless drunk roommate was wildly flailing to escape a headlock in the hallway. When I returned about an hour later with my other roommate, (i live in a triple), we came across this hilarious image.

What you can't see in this picture are the crumpled up beer cans he's sleeping on and that his hair is dripping wet from all the beer poured on it. Somehow he made it on to his top bunk in the middle of the night, but that's still kind of a mystery.

Also, here's a picture of me that has been dubbed "The Red Menace."

Now there were a couple of circumstances leading to the pigment perfectly captured in this photo:

1. Alcohol

2. Face cream that closes my pores

3. Two long-sleeve button-down shirts being worn at the same time.

4. Crowded room

Anyways, hilarious.

Abdominal

So if you like either hip-hop, Canadians, or Judaism, you'll probably like Abdominal, who is, surprisingly enough, a Canadian Jewish rapper. He has a ridiculous vocabulary and spits mad rhymes while rarely taking breaks. His repeated partnerships with the fantastic DJ Format ensure that he always has a sick beat to bust his tech to. Enjoy these videos:

Vicious Battle Raps: DJ Format Feat. Abdominal



And my personal favorite, 3 Feet Deep: DJ Format Feat. Abdominal and MC D-Cisive. This is one of my favorite music videos ever.
