Be Nice.

Every now and then something will happen and it will remind you that life is short. Life is too short. If you want something, do it now. Don't wait until later because there might not be a later. 

A few days ago, the Mr. Brianwash Banksy Oscar wall went up on La Brea. I wanted to go take a picture of it but never got around to it. I knew I had to do it soon, because who knows how long it would last in it's untouched condition. Well, tonight, I was taking someone who hadn't seen it to take a look. As we pulled up, we saw two people painting over the piece. Right as I put the car in park, they ran away. One of them doesn't know how to spell.

Think of something that you've been wanting to do. Do it today.

If you like taking pictures, always take your camera with you.

Be nice.

Great Boston Bruins Viral Marketing

A possibly drunk female Bruins fan kicks a hole in a bathroom column at the Boston Garden and surprise, surprise, the video ends up on the internet.

    

 

The Boston Bruins marketing department responds in an awesome way with this viral commercial.

Never Disrespect the Garden.

 

High fives to Jim Murray & Barstool.

Time to boycott Undefeated

Yes, it's Celtics-Lakers in the finals. Yeah, it's a great rivalry that goes way back. I used to be a big fan of UNDFTD...until now. It's fine to attack the Celtics and say "Celtics suck" but this isn't cool. "Beat LA" means beat the LA Lakers, not beat the actual city. Boston's "Yankees Suck" chant (hate it or love it) attacks the team, not the city of New York. I hate the Yankees and the Lakers but I don't hate the cities they call home. Go after the team, not the city.

It's a Lamar Odom x Undefeated collaboration and some of the money goes to his charity, but it's still a huge goon move. Look for my UNDFTD shirts on ebay very soon.

what i learned from cab drivers in vegas

I was in Vegas for CES and this is what my various cab drivers taught me:

the dime tip
- no receipts are given then you only tip ten cents. stop thinking that i did this because i didn't. the guy who got out of the cab that i got into did it. (goon move)

10 cent tipper: "can i have a receipt please?"

cab driver: "nope."

10 cent tipper: "you don't give receipts?"

cab driver: "not for a dime i don't."

The cab driver wasn't happy about his ten cent tip. i gave him a better tip.

coffee causing confusion
- in cab driver talk, asking for coffee is code for asking for help. i was in a cab and over the radio the dispatch dude kept asking for this other cab's location. the cab wasn't responding. then it sounded like a (possibly drunk) customer had taken control of the radio and was shouting random garble. the dispatch dude then started offering coffee. "if you need coffee i'll get it to you, i just need your location."....no response..."please let me know if you need some coffee and i'll get it to you right away." my cab driver explained to me that you say you need coffee when you're in trouble. but this often causes confusion because "some taxi driver like me don't speak good english too much" (i complimented his english and told him that i could understand him fine) "when we start to drive we hear the other drivers say 'copy' or 'copy that.' but sometimes when we say 'copy' it sounds like 'coffee' and he doesn't know what we mean."
i suggested that maybe they should change their code word to something that's less confusing, like asparagus or ointment or sucrets. (im kidding. i really didn't.)

begrudgingly, i left the cab with out know what happened to the unresponsive cab driver. i hope he's ok.

are you serious?

So I'm listening to the Sox broadcast online while I'm at work. They're in Tampa Bay, so I get the Devil Ray's play-by-play guys and it's one of those promo item nights at Tropicana Field. Baseball cards? Mini helmets? Oranges?  Rosin bags shaped like oranges? Nope. It's "1/2 way to St. Patty Day" night at the ballpark and the first 7,500 fans get a Green Rays Leprechaun plastic hat. Are you kidding me? That's like giving away KRINK markers at bingo night. The hell does St Lucky Charms have to do with baseball?!

And it's "1/2 way to"... I don't even know when it's 1/2 way to my birthday. If these guys couldn't come up with something better than "1/2 wat yo St. Patty's Day then people need to be fired.

Goon Move of the week: The Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Joey Crawford needs to relax.

This Goon Move goes to NBA ref Joey Crawford. Yesterday, he called 2 technicals on Tim Duncan in span of about one minute and fifteen seconds, causing Duncan's ejection from a close game with Dallas. Duncan was sitting on the bench for both of the T's. I'm not a huge Duncan fan; of course I think he's an outstanding player, but I'd rather see Iverson play (so you don't think I'm taking Duncan's side because I have a man crush on him). In case you haven't seen the ridiculousness, here's the ESPN coverage and here it is as it happened.

SNAP! POW! BATMAN ARRESTED! THUNK!

So the other day I mentioned how Chewbacca got arrested a while ago on Hollywood Blvd. Well, this time, it's Batman acting up and getting his superheroself arrested. C'mon Batman, you're supposed to be stopping trouble, not starting it. The Goon Move of the week goes to Batman for not acting like a professional superhero and getting his bat-ass arrested. Check out 1:15 into the video and you'll see Batman and Chewbacca scheming and Chewy starts acting up again. Chewbacca better be careful...he's probably on probation.

And oh, who the hell is Hollywood Afroman?
