wiffleball + hurling = wiffle hurling (bonus… with sombreros).

Woohoo!! I’m now the #6 dennis on google. Is it really, really nerdy to be excited about this?

Don’t answer that.

I submitted my bike to fixedgeargallery — where I was bike #4,999 — soooo close to the 5,000th bike, who won a t-shirt.. (dangit!!). Anyway, this weekend the New York Times published an article all about the fixie phenomenon that is apparently all over Brooklyn right now…

Beep! Beep! It’s the hipster highway!

For real though… I *love* riding the fixie around the city. It’s been my regular ride around town for a few years now, and honestly, nothing beats the feeling of zipping around traffic with your feet solidly connected to the wheels. Some say, it’s transcendental.

And c’mon.. fixies are so so pretty.

[Thanks fellow fixie-rider Phil]

This comic just about sums it all up. Hooray for dating. It sure is fun. yah.

Anyway.. more good stuff from this dude can be found at ingredient x and his YouTube page. Enjoy.

1. WITHOUT anyone watching you they will think you are GOOFY and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number “6″ in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

[Thanks James]

Kekeke.. Andy sent me this page about beatbots and it’s so frikkin cool. Watch the beatbot dance to Spoon — it’s not just a simple “move to the beat” algorithm either — the little guy has a few different dances as the song progresses. Kekeke. I want one.

(Kekeke is very appropriate here cuz the robot, Keepon, is Japanese.)

Kekeke.

Neat.

[hat tip, willo]

Whilst having lunch at Golden King (mmm. tasty vietnamese food) today, we noticed that there was a midway setup right across the street right on the edge of Portsmouth Square right in Chinatown. How odd. Why would there be midway games? They had most of the classics — “shoot out the star”, “balloon dart toss”, “football through the toilet seat”, “basketball shoot” and “ping pong ball in the fishbowl”.. I was sad that they didn’t have “shoot the water gun in the clown’s mouth” game though — that was always my favorite, although now that I think of it.. that game isn’t really found in the traveling midway, just the more permanent ones at like Cedar Point and the like..

Anyway, $5 for a whole basket of ping pong balls seemed like a pretty good deal…

And after that whole ordeal, the group only got ONE ping pong ball in a bowl (good work, James). The prize? 2 goldfish, of course. In a plastic ziploc bag.

Meredith has named them Ping and Pong. I believe the over/under on their lifespan is.. um, 2 weeks right now. We’ll see how they do.

Yah, so I guess it’s Valentine’s day or something around these here parts. Hooray, I suppose.

So, if you’re looking for a card, this guy made eps versions of the v-day cards that were on that Simpsons episode — you know, the one where Ralph gives Lisa the “I Choo Choo Choose You” card, and Lisa gives him the “Let’s Bee Friends” card.
Ouch. Yah. Ralph is on the friend ladder. Get used to it brah. It sucks. His cat’s breath also smells like cat food.

You shouldn’t be downloading and printing free cards off the interweb, you should be buying them from American Greetings (shoutout to Dan in Ohio — hope you’re enjoying the snow).. Hmm, that reminds me.. remember “Print Shop” on the old Apple II? Man, those cards were awesome.. you’d print them out on your dot-matrix printer and then you’d fold them up in 4 and they’d be a sweet little card. Someone’s had to have made a web version of that, no? Hmmm… Anyone? Anyone?

Uh.. I digress. Just remember, shit bitch you is fine.

Psst. This Wednesday, Justin Hermann Plaza, 6pm.

Pillow Fight.

Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day. Extra points for anyone dressed up as Cupid.
