Bobble Heads are on My Christmas List


Normally I'm not a bobble head kind of guy. But when I saw this one, I knew it was going to make the ol' x-mas list.

There are two things that are really working for this particular bobble head. 1. It's Star Wars, and yes, I'm kind of a Star Wars geek (not the kind that dresses up and goes to trade shows, but the kind that collects action figures and will watch any of the original trilogy at the drop of a deflector shield). 2. It's Luke Skywalker IN his X-Wing Fighter. I can't say that I've seen many bobble heads of figures inside vehicles or space ships before, so I'm definitely on board.

My only hope now is that they continue this series and come out with a Han Solo in the Millenium Falcon ...




I'm Not Saying It's Right...

But she must've said something he didn't like.

Apparently I missed the season premier of Jersey Shore on MTV. And from the conversation going around, I'm going to be setting the Tivo so I don't miss another episode.

But the question remains, "has MTV gone too far?" I say, "No."

It’s possible this fancy gentleman was offended by a young lady wearing ahat indoors, and in this clip he’s saying, “Madam please remove your hat” in accordance with Jim Nortons Hat Removal Service, but more likely is WHATTHEFUCKWASTHAT!

MTV is getting tons of very justified criticism for their new show “JerseyShore”, and not just from groups offended by what they consider Italian stereotypes, but because of the preview clip during the closing creditsshowing female castmate Snookie getting punched in the face. Hard.

Domino’s Pizza has already pulled their ads from the show, and others are threatening to do the same. I’m no PC homo but it’s sort of amazing they would show a clip of a girl getting punched in the face. Although to be fair to the dude I wanted to at least smack her in the head and I was barely even paying attention.

...For My Wedding Ring














You never know when you might find yourself in a pickle. So consider this the pickle slicer. It looks as painful as it looks cool. And the tip comes off, so one second it looks like a harmless wedding ring, the next second you're punching out windows (or eyeballs). Wow.

Hope I never run into the wrong end of one of these.

TAD Gear Titanium Rescue Ring

One man's safety precaution is another man's deadly weapon. Sure, the TAD Gear Titanium Rescue Ring is meant to break glass in case of emergency, but come on, it's a ring with a spike on it. That's bad ass. It includes a keyring for the breaker tip in case you don't want to always wear the spiked ring... although we don't know why you wouldn't want to. Frankly, we intend to get one for every finger.

This is the Ogilvy NY Building























I'll never work there.

Target Billboard in Times Square























Another beautiful idea from Target:

So they covered a massive corner in Times Square with design riddled canvas. Four artists contributed. Beautiful from a distance. So many details you couldn't even take the whole thing in, even if you were up close.

The cool part is that after this posting comes down, the canvas is going to be turned into 1,600 bags by Anna Sui.

I think you can pre-order them at www.target.com/billboardbag. They're likely going to sell out as soon as they're posted. So good luck getting one.

Beautiful idea, though.

Avaya Phone Systems - Contest Entry


Here are the contest rules. Do you think we answered the question, or do you think the video is too generic (from a reason "why" we need new phones) to be considered effective?

What can I win?

It's simple: Tell us about the disconnects that are hurting your business, and if you win, we'll help you fix them.

The disconnect could be technical—like an outdated phone system, or a patched-together "system" that's unreliable. Or it could be a human problem—like frustrated customers or a key employee who no one can get a hold of. Or it could be a combination of both.

Whatever the problem is, tell us about it in a short video or written essay. You can be funny. You can be serious. You can be desperate. But however you do it, be sure to submit it by October 15, 2009.

Seattle is Crazy

Just got back from Seattle for homeboy Ricky Kimbo's day of matrimony. There are almost too many great stories to recount them all. Lucky for us, we have cameras.

So here's a quick-commentary, picture-cap:


There were fake mustaches at the wedding. Probably the best idea ever. Rick looks amazing in a classic stache and tuxedo combination.


Rick got married on the 19th. That's also Mieka's birthday. They had a cake for her. I didn't get her anything. Advantage Kimbo.


During Ricky's reception, I visited my High School class reunion. Class of '69 RULES! I left an open bar for a party that had a cash bar. A round of shots cost me $60. But I did cause a scene, so I guess it was worth it.


On Sunday afternoon we headed down to the Pike Market. Beautiful. Had lunch. Saw some crazy guys. Then went on a fairy ride to Bainbridge Island.


This is one of the crazy guys. Or maybe he really is a video game?


This is everyone on the fairy. Dru is telling us which way to go.

Overall, it was an amazing trip. Thanks Richard.
