Yep, that guy

You may have already read Rick Reilly’s article on “The Luckiest Fan in America,” but if you haven’t and are a Philly sports fan then you should probably check it out.  Here’s a little snippet from the article, which is about this guy (named Lionel, no less) that, whatever, partied on the field and in the locker room with the World Fucking Champions immediately after the clinching Game 5 Part Deux:

Now Lionel starts going lotto-champagne crazy, squirting multimillionaire athletes up the nose, in the eyes and down the shorts. He pours an entire bottle over the head of slugger Ryan Howard. Matt Stairs gives him a head butt. He kisses pitcher Jamie Moyer on the cheek and yells, “Thank you for everything!” And Moyer yells, “No, thank you!”

Reading the article made me love this guy yet simultaneously despise him because of my pure, unadulterated jealousy for that experience.  Asshole.  Way to kiss Jamie Moyer.

This picture is just bad-ass, despite my poor attempt at a joke in the title of the post.  And really the only description of the photo that can do it justice is this caption that was originally included with the image:

In this handout photo provided by the White House, a folder for U.S. President Barack Obama (the 44th president) is shown, left for him by Former U.S. President George W. Bush on the Resolute desk in the Oval Office of the White House January 20, 2009 in Washington, D.C.

Ok, this shit is funny as hell:*  

* Obviously, Kobe had nothing to do with this, and by no means am I endorsing him as some sort of funny-guy with any modicum of a personality.  He just has some brilliant cast of Nike writers behind him that make him look somewhat funny if you try hard to laugh, whereas if MJ was in the same position he would have written the commercial HIMSELF and it would have blown this one out of the water…

THRASH YO

The Similarities Between Kevin Curtis and James Thrash are Almost Astounding

Pretty crazy shit:

“Four of the last eight games between New York and Philadelphia [have been] decided on the final play…”

P.S. This game is a pretty big deal here in NYC…I’ve gotten by FAR the most flak I’ve ever gotten for wearing a Birds jersey since I’ve been living here.  Douchebags.

I mean, this is just absurd:


wingsuit base jumping from Ali on Vimeo.

NOTE: I am pretty sure that someone actually utters the following at some point during the video:


At the beginning of wingsuit basejumping we were trying to get as far from the wall as possible, so basically clearing out the whole thing… and now its getting boring.

SlingPlayer iPhone/My Love

Well, actually, it still is for a little while…but at least things are getting closer:

This shit is funny as hell, I think.  The geniuses behind the site komplexify have derived a complex mathematical equation which clearly prove the evil underpinnings of the female gender.  Equisitely titled “On the proof of the supposed evilness of girls,” try to do your best to follow along, but don’t be ashamed if you get lost: this is some complex stuff here.  Read on to witness the proof that has, in all likelihood, turned the world of gender-studies on its head for the rest of eternity: 

 

II. Statement and classical proof of result

 

Theorem. Girls are evil

 

Proof.   It is axiomic in all cultures that girls require both time and money, and any man with either a deficiency in available “quality time” or “disposable income” knows that this a joint-proportion, whence:

girls = time * money


Similarly, it is has been proved that “time is money” [1], whence

time = money


Substitution yields

girls = (money)2


We also know that “money is the root of all evil” [2], whence

money = √evil


Substituting again yields

girls = (√evil)2


Squaring on the right-hand side of the equation yields…

girls = evil


establishing the result. Q.E.D.

I miss proofs.  I also miss the 20 minutes I just spent writing this post.
