Scratch or Dent vs. Icing Bros

2010-06-10T14:01:00.003-04:00

Please do not tell me that I am late on this as I am aware that icing bros has made it into major media and has many wondering if it is guerilla marketing or a viral ploy by Smirnoff. I am going to be honest, and with no better a word to describe it, say that it is awesome. For those not in the know, when presented with a Smirnoff Ice, you must take a knee and chug. The official rules taken from brosicingbros:

Now, you are probably are wondering what is up with Scratch or Dent. It is a game that was played by my friends and I, similar to Icing Bros, but a little more low-key. The premise of Scratch or Dent is that once you open a can or bottle of beer you must either put a scratch in the label of the bottle or a dent in the can. Once you take your first sip of beer, if you do not have one of the aforementioned scratches of dents, a fellow drinker may call you out for not having the required defacement and you must drink the remainder of your beer. As I type this, it is apparent that it is not on the same level as Icing, but has left me with the odd ritual of scratching or denting my beers to this day. Icing Bros has many more creative applications and if you follow the rules, the icing can occur in public, non-drinking situations, which you can learn more about through some basic Intertron research:

A Sandwich A Day

2010-03-23T20:25:00.002-04:00

Found a great, consistent posting regarding sandwiches in New York. The above happens to be The Roast Beef Luger from Brooklyn Fare, which happens to be right around the corner from me. From the post:

If you can't score a reservation at Peter Luger's but need a cheap, quick fix, head over to the deli section of Brooklyn Fare, Boerum Hill's friendly go-to market. Of the 20 or so sandwiches on the chalkboard menu, the Roast Beef Luger ($5.99 on a roll, $6.99 on the hero) was our favorite. They cut slices off their big slab of roast beef, add a slice of cheddar, bacon, and—this is where the Luger part comes in—smother it with Peter Luger's signature steak sauce. Smother, as in, the paper wrapping it is soaked after a half-hour subway ride back to SE headquarters. It's best to devour this 'wich before soggification sets in.

Steampunk

2010-03-04T20:10:00.003-05:00

Ever heard of it? If so, good for you. Rather than re-word wiki, here you go:

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy, that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England — but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine); these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.

Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely.

Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk.

We are Holograms

2010-02-23T23:34:00.002-05:00

DRIVING through the countryside south of Hanover, it would be easy to miss the GEO600 experiment. From the outside, it doesn't look much: in the corner of a field stands an assortment of boxy temporary buildings, from which two long trenches emerge, at a right angle to each other, covered with corrugated iron. Underneath the metal sheets, however, lies a detector that stretches for 600 metres.

For the past seven years, this German set-up has been looking for gravitational waves - ripples in space-time thrown off by super-dense astronomical objects such as neutron stars and black holes. GEO600 has not detected any gravitational waves so far, but it might inadvertently have made the most important discovery in physics for half a century.

The holograms you find on credit cards and banknotes are etched on two-dimensional plastic films. When light bounces off them, it recreates the appearance of a 3D image. In the 1990s physicists Leonard Susskind and Nobel prizewinner Gerard 't Hooft suggested that the same principle might apply to the universe as a whole. Our everyday experience might itself be a holographic projection of physical processes that take place on a distant, 2D surface.

There is a ton of science in this article, but we may be holograms of the real thing somewhere else.

I had been walking by the posters for Funny People for a hot month, and had not been impressed. It was hot because I saw them everyday in the subway in July. Now, you can say that it has not been a hot summer and global warming(hopefully Ill get more google hits) blah blah blah, but it is suuuriosly effing hot in a suit, underground in NYC in the summer. The poster is super lame and the photo above is actually a manipulated version of one from the subway(train not sandwich shoppe). I saw the movie over the weekend and my own personal comedic ability has been diminished to telling people, "Yeah, I saw Funny People and it was funny", with empahasis on the funny.

I laughed a lot. It rained sunday, then got nice, but nice and humid and I saw it at Cobble Hill Cinemas, which is a good local theatre, but kind of musty. It may have been due to the weather, but also probably the size of the place. We got there with ample time, but still I caugtht a corner seat, not on the aisle row. I heard bass from the movie playing in the adjacent theatre, but still laughed my arse off.
It was basically stand up comedy and one to two liners for the entire film. There was some emotional plot mixed in, but this was a comedy. Sandler played an alternate universe version of his alleged, semi public self, that only deviated from his own life with regards to wife and family. His Happy Gilmore (lauged so hard to vhs veiwing of this), Waterboy, persona was semi present, but only in a self-depricating comedic way. Seth Rogen was good, but awkward, although I know he was supposed to be awkward, he was still awkward. I thought Jason Schwartzman was great and not beacause he was once in a band that licensed the song for the show, The OC.
Lesley Mann was in it(Apatow's whole brewd is too), and made me laugh. I almost forgot that Eric Bana was her husband. You know, the dude who was the Hulk, the unsuccessful remake with Jennifer Connely, only to be barely outdone with the remake starring Ed Norton and Liv Tyler. That of course is besides the point because the move is straight up funny and you should see it.....

High-rise Fridge Delivery

Posted at: 2009-07-06 09:51:49 | 124 comments | Add Comment

Original ad:

I bought this GE refrigerator a few years ago, but just got a new one for my kitchen and no longer need it. It still works perfectly and is very large, perfect as your main fridge for a kitchen. I'm asking $300 for it. I am located in Brooklyn, but will be willing to deliver it up to 25 miles for a small fee.

From Mike Partlow to ************@**********.org

Hello,

I am very interested in your fridge. Is it still available? If so, how much would you charge to deliver it to my place in the city?

Mike

From marty ******* to Me

Yes mike it is still available. I will deliver it for an extra $50. where is your place located?

From Mike Partlow to marty *******

I want it delivered to my office on the 67th floor of the ********* Building on **rd st and **********. Now I am pretty sure that the fridge won't fit in the elevator, and if it does, it would exceed the weight capacity, so you will have to carry it up the stairs. I hope this won't be a problem.

When can you deliver it? I work Monday-Friday 9-5 and can be there any time. I do need it sooner rather than later, however.

Mike

From marty ******* to Me

that is absurd. Im not going to heave this very heavy fridge up 67 flights of stairs. Dosent your building have a cargo/utility elevator?

From Mike Partlow to marty *******

Marty, you don't have to lug it up 67 flights of stairs. There is a loading bay around back that starts on the 2nd floor, and I'm pretty sure this building does not count the 13th floor. So you are really only carrying it up 65 flights of stairs. There was a cargo elevator, but building management has told me that I am never allowed to use it again after I attempted to bring my motorcycle up to my office. They don't let just anyone use it anymore, so that isn't an option.

From marty ******* to Me

absolutely not. do you have any idea how heavy this thing is? why do you even need a full size fridge in your office? just buy one of those small mini fridges.

From Mike Partlow to marty *******

Marty,

You are obviously not a very good salesman if you are trying to suggest I buy something else instead of your product. How is that working out for you? Do you make a lot of money that way?

Not that it is any of your business, but I cannot afford rent in my apartment anymore and am slowly trying to move into my office so I can live out of there. I plan on disguising the fridge as a filing cabinet so my company will not get suspicious. If anyone asks you what you are doing when you are moving it into my office, just tell them that you are delivering my new filing cabinet. Try to tuck the power cord under the fridge so they don't realize that it is actually a fridge.

How does next Tuesday work? I am free all day.

Mike

From marty ******* to Me

mike I don't think you understood me. I am NOT delivering the fridge to your office. it's way too big and heavy, and I doubt you will find anyone willing to carry it up to the 67th floor.

From Mike Partlow to marty *******

Marty,

I'm sorry, I must have misread your ad. I could have sworn it said "will be willing to deliver it up to 25 miles for a small fee." Am I crazy, or did your ad say that?

I don't recall it saying "will be willing to deliver it as long as your building isn't too big and scary for my weak little body to carry it."

From marty ******* to Me

Hey listen asshole. You are a Fuckin idiot if you honestly think somebody will do this. It has nothing to do with strength it is just an insane request. the only way you will get a fucking fridge up there is with an elevator. fuck off.

From Mike Partlow to marty *******

Marty, I get what you are saying. It doesn't have anything to do with strength, because even my 120 lb ex-wife could carry this thing up. It is clearly a lack of motivation. You need to be in the right mindset to be able to do this.

Tell you what, I'll stand behind you as you carry it up, and shout encouraging motivational words at you to keep you going. I'll say things like "c'mon Marty, you can do it! You're almost there!" and "don't give up!" I'll even bring a few bottles of Gatorade in case you get thirsty. What flavor do you want? I have frost and orange, but I really don't recommend orange because it doesn't even taste like Gatorade.

So see you Tuesday?

Mike

From marty ******* to Me

shut the fuck up.

Movie Monday (on tuesday)

2009-07-07T20:41:00.002-04:00

A day late, but not a dollar short as I will be discussing two movies this week. The first is an Oscar nominated flick that goes by Revolutionary Road. I know what you are not thinking, but yes, it is the second film I am reviewing in a row that features Kate Winslet. It is about a couple, Kate and Leo who meet in NYC in the 50's, who are both young and seemingly idealistic with ideas about moving to France and being free. By the way, prior to this, Leo has not really put out good work in a minute and yes, he is good in this film, but not as good as Kate. Remember him in Basketball Diaries and What's Eating Gilbert Grape? He was acting. I take that back, he was good in The Beach and Gangs of New York, but his shite accent in Blood Diamond hurt that hurt movie. I guess he was good in that other Marty Scorsese flick, but his competition was Marky Mark(who I think is a good actor sometimes, say hi to your mother for me) and Alec Baldwin who wins automatically because he is Jack Donaghy. So, Leo does some good and bad like everyone, and no I did not like Titanic, and no, not because I am boatist.

Revolutionary Road follows a couple out to suburban Connecticut (holler) and their trials and tribulations of giving up city life for a family life. Even if you don't live in a city, I am sure you can relate to this movie on some level, whether you have extra-marital affairs with secretaries (I know it is administrative assistants, but I am keeping it time period specific) or neighbors, or you despise your significant other because you both created a life neither of you really want. I have already said too much, just know this movie does the whole past to present thing the whole time. Not saying that is a bad thing, but you should be aware.

The second movie I watched was The Night of the White Pants with Tom Wilkenson, Nick Stahl, and Selma Blair. I am going to post no imdb hyperlinks or write about it because there is no reason to watch it unless you have Showtime On Demand and have already watched every movie it has to offer.

A 20-year-old man in Jacksonville, Florida, has been arrested for misusing 911.

Deputies say Michael Kruse of Jacksonville initially called 911 because he felt sick on June 21st.

The call went into the 911 call center in St. Johns County.

Kruse's speech was slurred and the dispatcher had difficulty understanding him.

Dispatch: "Are you sure you haven't taken something sir? Because you're not making a whole lot of sense."

Caller: "I've been smoking marijuana."

Dispatch: "You've been smoking marijuana?"

Caller: "Yes."

Dispatch: "Do you want a deputy to come and take you to jail?"

Caller: "Why?"

Dispatch: "You just told me on a taped line you just got done smoking marijuana."

Caller: "Awww. Are you serious?"

Sgt. Chuck Mulligan, spokesman with the St. Johns County Sheriff's
Office, said deputies located Kruse, took him to a family member, and gave him a stern lecture about 911.

Hours later on June 22nd, Kruse called 911 again. This time he was driving on I-95. He told the dispatcher he wanted a police escort to see the rapper, Lil Wayne, in concert in Miami.

Dispatch: "You want a police escort to take you to Miami?"

Caller: "Or, you have a helicopter?"

Dispatch: "We don't just send helicopters up for rappers."

Caller: "Well, I'm driving there right now. I just wanted the fastest way to get there. I didn't want to get pulled over on the highway."

The dispatcher had Kruse pull off the interstate at the State Road 207 exit. There, deputies met Kruse and arrested him for misuse of 911

Of course I can wait because it does not come out until summer's end, but the original OB4CL is still in itunes rotation and was one of the defining rap discs of my youth. I can remember bumping this in discmans connected to car stereos and especially when Rae raps, "peace Connecticut" in Incarcerated Scarfaces. You heard that right, say something.

Movie Monday #2

2009-06-29T23:50:00.002-04:00

Do you like reading? You must, to some extent, because you are reading right now if you did not realize. This rambling is due to my viewing of The Reader this past week. Most of the time when I read, it is to myself and before bed. When the young version of Ralph Fiennes reads aloud in the movie, he gets laid by Kate Winslet. Take note that it is not Ralph Fiennes, but his younger self, who is in middle or high school, I am not sure because it was Germany and I was tired. So tired that I feel asleep half way through this movie, but I am pretty sure it was going to get good.

Almost as good as the leftover spaghetti frittata that I had for dinner this evening. Andrea pulled it from an Italian cookbook, one with pages, and the internet is proving to be too much effort to find a proper recipe, but this one looks decent.

Just in case you cared....

Movie Monday

2009-06-22T23:37:00.002-04:00

I figure if some of the posts become theme posts, then there could be some structure. So, I introduce Movie Monday....I write this while eating an ice cream sandwich with Predator 2 on the boob tube. Danny Glover as lieutenant Harrigan, kicking ass in a super baggy suit and packing what looks to be a modified Desert Eagle. This movie was made in 1990, but is supposed to take place in 1997. I love not so distant future movies. That is besides the point, when was the last time you had an o.g. ice cream sandwich? Cannot remember, can you? Well, they are delicious and you are jealous. Thanks Andy. Back to the theme.

I watched two movies last week. Gran Torino and Friday the 13th. They both were On Demand and there is no rhyme or reason to the type of movies I watch and therefore write about. This new Monday theme will not be relegated to new releases, sometimes they might be though, because a couple weeks ago I saw Drag Me to Hell and it was awesome, you should see it if you like that kind of flick......Back to Gran Torino, I like Clint Eastwood. Dude is cool, always has been. Now he is grandpa cool, but also a bitter racist. I read things like his character was supposed to be on the Dirty Harry tip, and I can see that, but this dude's character name is Walt Kowalski and he is a widowed war veteran. I only thought of Walt Disney while typing this, and prior to that thought the name Walt in the movie to be badass. He drinks PBR, smokes even though he is sick and calls his young neighbor a pussy for not talking to a girl he likes.

I mentioned he is a racist right? I don't want to say anymore except watch the movie and decide for yourself if you think the racism in the movie is funny because it aligns with your values or that because it is so over the top and you feel like since you are not racist then it is making a point. Or its not. Regardless, good flick and not slow and boring like I thought it was going to be for some reason.

Friday the 13th.
Bunch of actors from or could have been from the WB. The usual formula of teens(played by people in their mid to late twenties), alcohol, a couple boobies and death by machete. No suspense, not scurry at all. Not anything like this final fight scene between Danny Glover and the Predator where Glover uses the Predator's own flying disc/saw weapon to win the battle.

14,000 Texts

2009-06-19T09:30:00.002-04:00

NEW YORK – The nation's newest texting champion has a message for parents across the land — although they might not want to hear it.

"Let your kid text during dinner! Let your kid text during school! It pays off," 15-year-old Kate Moore said Tuesday after winning the LG U.S. National Texting Championship.

After all, she said: "Your kid could win money and publicity and a phone."

For the Des Moines, Iowa, teenager, her 14,000 texts-per-month habit reaped its own rewards, landing her the competition prize of $50,000 just eight months after she got her first cell phone.

Moore, with a speedy and accurate performance, beat out 20 other finalists from around the country over two days of challenges such as texting blindfolded and texting while maneuvering through a moving obstacle course.

In the final showdown, she outtexted 14-year-old Morgan Dynda, of Savannah, Ga. Both girls had to text three lengthy phrases without making any mistakes on the required abbreviations, capitalization or punctuation. Moore squeaked through by a few seconds on the tiebreaking text, getting the best two out of three. As she anxiously waited for confirmation of her win, tears streamed down her face.

The teen dismisses the idea that she focuses too much on virtual communications, saying that while she has sometimes had her phone taken away from her in school, she keeps good grades, performs in school plays and socializes with friends — in person — on the weekends.

In between, she finds time to send about 400 to 470 texts a day. Among her uses of the text messages? Studying for exams with friends, which she says is better done by text because she can look back at the messages to review.

The finalists, all 22 or younger, were among 250,000 people who tried to get spots in the competition. Some won their spots at the Manhattan finals by being the fastest people to text responses to televised ads.

It's the third year for the texting competition, sponsored by LG Electronics Inc.'s mobile-phones division. But it's the first time that it was held at a flashy sound stage with an illuminated platform and surrounded by TV cameras. LG, based in Seoul, South Korea, is considering using the footage in a televised special of some kind.

Twenty-year-old Jackie Boyd, who came in fifth in the competition, said she usually prefers text messages to phone calls because they get through faster and they're more private — leaving her unworried about other people listening in.

"You can get more of what you really truly want to say" across with texting, said the Syracuse University psychology major. "Especially if it's an argument, you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing.

"And if you don't want to respond, you can always say, 'Oh, I didn't get your text.'"

True Story

2009-06-16T22:46:00.002-04:00

This is an email I sent some people a while back. I just found it while weeding out gmail.

On a side note, I would like to share a story with all of you regarding last evening at my hotel. I was in Johnstown New York, which apparently used to be a big industrial area with the most millionaires per capita (at least thats what a local broker said), but now, like most American cities with an industrial past is now, desolate depressed, and generally crusty. I was staying at the Holiday Inn, the only other choice would have been the motel 8, you get the gist.

The Hotel is old style, with the doors for the rooms facing outside, aka, no hallways. I was staying at the far end of the hotel, which means to get to the lobby/bar, I had to walk a decent distance outside. At the bar, I had one drink and asked for a spoon so that I could go back to my room and eat some chicken noodle soup that Andrea had made. I told the bartender to keep my tab open, "room 330", I said.

I get back to my room, start eating my soup and the phone rings. It was a man asking if I was coming back to the bar. Thinking it was someone from the hotel, I said just keep the tab open and I would be down in a bit. Five minutes later, the phone rings again, same voice, which is a dude, which is weird, because the bartender was a girl. The voice was more insistent about when I was coming back to the bar, and then asked if I needed company. I yelled, 'who the fuck is this', and they hung up.

At this point, I am shook because clearly someone from the bar knows my room number, and the only people at the bar were some swedes in the corner, and local grizzly bears. I had to close my tab and wanted another beer, so I clenched the spoon, ready for battle. I get to the bar, and no patrons are there. I tell the bartender about the calls and she said it could have only been 2 people, one dude sitting to the left of me, who was a yocal, not staying at the hotel and a dude to the right of me, who was.

At the front desk, I tell the employee about the calls. He said that he just got on duty, but had already forwarded a call to my room and that the girl that just off duty told him there were a bunch of calls, too. Apparently the calls were coming from an outside line as the person did not have my name, just room number. The dude at the front desk said he would not transfer the calls through and it was probably a practical joke. I told him it did not appear to be a practical joke, but he kinda brushed it off. Normally, I would not care how dismissive the front desk dude was, but now I am paranoid and thinking there is a conspiracy with Deliverance undertones.

I got a butter knife from the bartender and started to walk back to my room. While making the trek, a car's lights turn on in the parking lot across the street and someone starts honking the horn. I hustle to my room, lock that shit, and sure enough the light is blinking on my phone, indicating a message. Probably should have just deleted it, but I listened and it was the same dude talking in a creepy voice about guy on guy action. Am I being over dramatic as I put a floor lamp by the door and a coffee pot(with the intentions of breaking and stabbing if necessary) on the nightstand? Alas, I got into bed, had a shtty sleep with no other disturbances and was psyched to be there only one night.
