MRod says: Is the crew ready? Like spaghetti.

My nomadic ways continue: I’m in Park Slope for the next couple weeks.

Chilling in Soho.

Erin makes a visit to NYC. Mmm, hot and muggy New York afternoons.

Mariya shows no love for the camera. Who the fuck does she think she is? Paris Hilton?

Akash is also visiting NYC.

We then got pizza at my favorite joint (on Thompson and Spring). Mariya eats her pizza really really fast.

We then went back to Kzar’s apartment to drink and watch the drama that is The Hills. Kzar is captivated by Heidi’s emotional breakup with her boyfriend. Thank you MTV for letting me live vicariously through the lives of 18 year olds.

Look your best ever with Miller Lite.

Akash enjoys the photoshop wonders of Maxim girls.

Akash, she isn’t going to become real if you offer her Miller Lite. That only happens in beer commercials.

Cy also stops by. Kzar offers a hungry Cyrus some frozen tacos.

Cab ride downtown.

Heading to Kush. Since we have one too many, Erin hides from the cab driver.

Peace in the middle east.

Some hookah action.

Erin, don’t drink that! That’s a candle!

A belly dancer gives us a show.

Someone gives her the thumbs up.

That would be Cyrus giving the belly dancer a thumbs up.

Akash using the pick up skills he learned from Maxim.

Cy gets in on the hookah action.

Hanging out in a hookah bar is gangsta.

Group jump!

Kaizar insisting that Erin look at his tongue. “ERIN! LOOK AT MY TONGUE!”

On our way to another bar, I noticed a guy getting his photo taken with a sneaker.

Yeaaa.

We met up with Kenny and his friend.

Cy horrified at being molested by this random chica.

The most action Kzar’s gotten in a while–a bike.

Then we got some food at St. Marks.

Cyrus reenacting a scene from LL’s new music video.

Passing out.

The End.

This is a crazy clip of a pissed off man who destroys a town by driving around in an armored bulldozer, which the police cannot stop.  CRAZY.  Maybe the cops should have a few RPGs in their arsenal.

In May 2003, Oakland police thought it necessary to to infiltrate anti-war groups and in May 2003, two undercover officers got themselves elected to leadership positions.

Two Oakland police officers working undercover at an anti-war protest in May 2003 got themselves elected to leadership positions in an effort to influence the demonstration, documents released Thursday show.

The department assigned the officers to join activists protesting the U.S. war in Iraq and the tactics that police had used at a demonstration a month earlier, a police official said last year in a sworn deposition.

[...]

The extent of the officers’ involvement in the subsequent march May 12, 2003, led by Direct Action to Stop the War and others, is unclear. But in a deposition related to a lawsuit filed by protesters, Deputy Police Chief Howard Jordan said activists had elected the undercover officers to “plan the route of the march and decide I guess where it would end up and some of the places that it would go.”

For anyone that knows anything about the civil rights movement in the 1960s and 70s, this story ought to remind you of the infamous COINTELPRO program headed by the FBI to suppress and disrupt political dissident groups.  Glad to see that not much has changed.

Test your movie fu knowledge with this fun trivia game.  I got 9 out of 28, which actually felt like quite an accomplishment.

An undated “headshot” of Linda Kay
Any story that begins with the word “stripper” is bound to be good and by “good” I mean of course, “bizarre” and “strange.” And if that stripper is from New Jersey, even better!

A stripper from New Jersey faced criminal charges Wednesday after police found a severed hand and six human skulls in her home.

[...]
Officers responded to a report of a man wanting to kill himself with a hammer, but instead discovered a hand inside a jar filled with formaldehyde on a dresser in a bedroom. Six human skulls were found in an upstairs bedroom, South Plainfield Police Capt. Paul Brembt said.

“The Middlesex County medical examiner responded to the scene and determined that the hand and all the skulls were from humans,” Brembt said.

The story gets even more bizarre:

Brembt said Kay, who works for Hott 22, a juice bar with topless waitresses in Union, N.J., refused to tell authorities where she got the body parts.

Two people who knew Kay told The Star-Ledger newspaper of Newark that the hand, which Kay nicknamed “Freddy,” was given to her by a medical student who frequented Hott 22.

Don’t you love how it’s a juice bar? I love the entrepreneurial spirit in this country. Who doesn’t want their daily wheat grass smoothie made by a topless chick? And what’s up with the “medical student” who tips with body parts? Reading this made me feel so normal.

I’m sure the writers at Law and Order and CSI are scrambling to be the first to rip this stripper tale from the headlines.

My nerd brain exploded after seeing this guy playing the Star Wars theme on his banjo.

This guy should have been on America’s Got Talent.  Watching that show and banjo man here makes me wish I was extremely good at some sort of obscure thing, like balancing a shopping cart on my chin, or driving a nail through my nose, or playing a banjo.

I can juggle three objects (as long as it isn’t on fire and sharp).  I was once locked out and I successfully picked the lock.  I’m okay at Ultimate Frisbee.  I once watched television for 16 hours straight (other than to get take out food from Johnny Rockets and use the bathroom).

I don’t think any of those “skills” will get me on television.

[EDIT]

Wow. This is kind of neat. My blog is currently number 12 10 on the most popular WordPress Blogs of the Day list.  I’m top 10!  Crazy.  Ya’ll Bravo Runway fans are nuts and I love it!

This is an amusing, but slightly bizarre music video with one of the members of Lonely Island (which brought you the Chronic-what?-cles of Narnia) and Kal Penn from Harold and Kumar along with a surprising what-the-fuck cameo by Brandon Routh aka Clark Kent aka Superman.

Horse jockey Paul O’Neill was caught on tape head-butting ala Zidane his horse and of course, YouTube is there!

Apparently Mr. Ed said something offensive to O’Neill (something about the immorality of his mother), which triggered the jockey’s helmeted response.
