Harry Potter vandals target Tosa stop signs

I read this article today and thought that I would share it with you viewer out there. This is real urban prankster type stuff.  Now I do not support or encourage this behavior… but that doesn’t mean I can’t laugh a little at it –does it?

HP 6

I am very excited for two things Harry Potter related (despite the old HP incident which then lead to a feud) :

1. To share this amazing video with my awesome viewer.  Me and my roomie found it two Halloweens ago and almost forgot about it until now. It is hilarious for anyone who enjoys harry potter and rap. I would  put the video on my blog but I want the people who made it to get the credit and the hits…. I think they deserve it.

2. I am also really excited for a big idea I had. It is to dress into costume and go to the midnight showining of Harry Potter. Before you judge think of this… We are not dressing up as HP characters. We were instead going to mock dressing up in costumes by dressing up as completely random costumes. In order for it to be a perfect mocking situation we have to take a lesson from improv everywhere. and pretend like we are doing nothing out of the ordinary and not purposely draw attention to ourselves.

Yet again Zombies…

So this is directly in response to someone hating on my blog.  They said it was all about Zombies. For the record this blog is NOT all about Zombies. There are alot of different topics on here … like movies…

That being said… I saw a preview for a movie coming out that I am really excited for. It is called Zombieland. Looks like a real gem!!

Also I do want to point out my ZAP has the most hits and comments of any part of my blog.

The Hammer

So I recently watched the movie “The Hammer”. I really really enjoyed it and am putting it in my top 10 of favorite comedies and ranking it above Rocky in movies about boxing.  It was hilarious mostly due to the fact Adam Carolla is just playing himself.. a like-able smart as s. (although he did some pretty convincing acting… unless he really does know how to box)

I could tell you about it or you could just watch the preview yourself. But I am to lazy to even put a link to the preview so I guess I have to just sum it up.

The movie revolves around Adam who is just turning 40, out of shape and an  un-inspired handyman who decides to get back into the boxing ring. It is hilarious and I highly recommend it.

But my favorite part about it is that he keeps saying things like “this is why they call me the hammer” and it totally reminded me of Captain Hammer (corporate tool bag) .

These are not the Hammer…. The hammer is my…

Subway and Art part II

So this takes a different, but still much appreciated take on subway and art. It is from our friends over at Improv Everywhere. Their latest mission is to have an art show in a NY subway. It wasn’t my favorite but it is worth checking out.

Instead of posting the video here I want to give credit to those who did it. So head over to their web site and check them out! My favorite at the moment is Ted’s birthday.

Pull your pants up

Someone brought this random gem of a you tube clip to my attention after my last post.  Well this song pretty much says it all. 

Subway and Art?

This is part one of my two part Subway comment. 

Big brother worked for subway for a long time and I recall quite well that he was a “Sandwich Artist”. I am pretty sure it used to be right on the name tags under the name. What the frak happened them?

Personally, I think they quit being artists when they changed the way they cut the bread. I think it also goes without saying that I do not have to list ALL the advantages of the old way. (I will gladly list them if you ask) I used to wonder if anyone besides me any more even remember the old way they cut the bread? It was the best! It clearly gave them the edge over all the other sandwich places. 

For the last few years when I ask for them to cut it the old way the workers just look at me like im stupid.  When I try to explain it they just don’t get it and say “I didn’t even know there was an old way”. (that is a real quote from a nameless Subway employee) Really kid? Yes there was an old way– it tasted better, looked better, and pull up your pants!

 

But I digress. I tdidn’t mean for this to turn into a rant like Denis Leary in lock and load. The point of this story wasn’t to complain about the stupid kid, but to give thanks that there is still at least one last Sandwich Artist out there. Not only did he know about the old way, but he did it for me and assured me that he liked it like this too! So here is a tip of my hat to you Sandwich Artist. Keep up the good work!

Dreams

Have you ever wake up from a dream and whatever emotion you were feeling? You know have a dream where your mad and you wake up mad? Well the other day I woke up very very angry and frustrated because of a dream. 

Yeah I know that there is no way that you can tell someone about your dream and not sound completely crazy, but I thought some people might enjoy this.

Me and Big Brother were trapped in this building and we had to find clues and use things in the 4 rooms to get out, but we had a time limit (i am not sure what was going to happen if we didn’t but it was bad!) And my dad looked the answer up on his cell phone, but we didn’t want his help at first. And then when we were running out of time  and I couldn’t get the pressure on the air gun right he decided not to help us. So not only was I trying to get him to help but all these other people (freinds and family) were just ok with letting the time run out and that bad thing happen.  I was pretty ticked when I woke up for like 15 minutes.

BTW I guess I could have explained that I was playing some of these games the other day..

Movie Review/ Graphic novels

The Watchmen: I just have to say though that I loved this movie!

First off I don’t want to be a spoiler for this movie so you will not find any plot elements here.  

I think that the movie was so well done in every way. Plot, writing, cinematography, acting everything just came together so well. I really appreciate movies like this. It stayed true to the real meaning of the graphic novel, dispite certain …changes. Movies like this still give credit to the artistic nature of graphic novels.  I think they are great combination of written and picture media.

I have been in a lot of conversations about this because recently “The Onion’s” book club had the Watchmen as a book. I think alot of people would agree with me that there is so much bias towards this form of art that lots of people miss out on some great things. 

Anyhow I think I digressed… The movie was fraking awesome!!!

Shamwow Snuggie

I recently got myself a shamwow. I mean how could you not want one?!?!?!

Well then I was thinking how awesome it would be to have a Snuggie made out of a Shamwow!!!! Well this was sent to me today at work.

“Apparently, someone already has made a sham-wow snuggie”

There was a Baltimore Snuggie Bar Crawl yesterday. It was … interesting. There were Star Wars Snuggies, Sham-wow Snuggies, homemade Snuggies.
