“They originally wanted my dear friend Gail Simmons for this commercial, but she ate seven Thickburgers in three minutes and had to be medivac-ed to the nearest free clinic, bless her heart.” Hey, remember when Paris Hilton did that Carl’s Jr. commercial, and everyone got in a tizzy about how racy and sexy it was? …

Me Eating Horseradish  The Video
I was bored on Friday and procrastinating from my important obligations (work, taxes); so I decided to shoot this little, self-indulgent video of me eating horseradish on my webcam. I’m not sure it adequately captures the sinus-clearing pain that one feels upon ingesting the near toxic condiment, but maybe it will give you a vague …

Another Great Facebook Meme!

Did You Know Today Is World Nutella Day?
Guess what? Today is World Nutella Day! That’s right, today is the day we celebrate Nutella, that glorious blend of hazelnuts, cocoa, and skim milk. The spread, which has been a childhood favorite of mine ever since I tried it at my friend Ed’s house, can be used in many different ways, but usually, I …
Seagulls and Bagels Provide Surprising Entertainment
Not so long ago, I happened to look out my window and see a flock of seagulls circling around the rooftop of an adjacent building. Closer inspection revealed that someone had placed a few bagels out for the birds, thus causing a white-feathered frenzy amongst the gathered avian creatures. I, of course, was amused because …
