Breaking Bad News With Baby Animals

Cousin PBhar and I were at Urban Outfitters - aka Overpriced Hipster Dumpster - and found a book of postcards called "Breaking Bad News with Baby Animals".





This is the Taj edition, dedicated to PBhar.

My favourite part of this video is when we are introduced to West 6th Street because it the the place to hang if you're a d-bag. What is the Chicago equivalent of West 6th Street? Is it Lincoln Park, I hear that anyone that lives there is a d-bag.

Congratulations to the Macs on their new home purchase... in Lincoln Park. Don't worry, you guys are the exception to the rule.

Making me laugh, part 2

This is my new favourite comic... he is the comedian I have been waiting for! Russell Peters has moments where he is funny but for the most part his act relies heavily on stereotypes. This clip of Hari Kondabolu is much more intelligently written.

Also, he has an awesome comment about the Kohinoor diamond and the Queen:
"Fuck the Queen of England. She’s an old white bitch wearing my grandmother’s jewelry."

Having a bad day

I had a bad morning which turned into a bad day but this made me feel better.

Scotland's #1 Male Barbie

I love that the BBC has a show called "Snog, Marry, Avoid?"

Frankly, I have to agree with his brilliant idea of being the darkest person in the room. In fact, I am actually a white person, I just invest heavily in Black Opal foundation.

SWEATPANTS!!!

I never used to wear sweatpants, but actually rediscovered how awesome they are when I participated in Global Pillow Fight Day last year with the always feisty PBhar. I wore Donkey's old track sweats to the Art Institute with a pillow that said "Mama Said Knock You Out" and fought strangers for a few hours. I had feathers in my lungs and eyes for hours. Sweatpants are awesome, but I know Donkey hates them.

2 minutes and 29 seconds of pure crazy

I'll have what she's having.

WTF!?!?

To quote Amy Winehouse...  What kind of f***ery is this?

Are they a couple?  Does Billy Corgan need *that* kind of publicity?  

This reminds me of a line of thought I had yesterday... What if Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself?  Would he still be grungey?  Or would he be a new-age hipster?  Would he be a secluded aging rocker like Eddie Vedder or would he dress like a douchebag and date whores like Tila Tequila?

What happened to integrity? Is it a pre-requisite of the famous to check their senses at the door.  UGH... this picture was too much for my brain to handle this afternoon.

Get your Groupon

I have an interview with a website called Groupon this morning and I was pretty impressed with the concept, so with the power of caffeine running through my veins I thought would share! It is a deal-a-day website where Groupon makes deals with companies in Chicago (By breaking kneecaps? Kidnapping children? Torturous Karaoke??) to offer a heavily discounted rate.  The catch is the discount is only applied if enough people buy in, but the good thing is you only get charged if enough people buy in, so it is a safe way to get some neat deals.  It is all about the power of collective buying... now can they get a deal with Perez Restaurant, cause that is the only place Donkey and I go.... mmmm 2-for-1 burritos.

For the next Chicago Family gathering

I have a "Chicago Family", that is comprised of Vanilla Bear, Polar Bear, BT, German Jones, P-Oven, Be Rad, me (Brown Bear) and the Donkey. We have the best nicknames!
When we get together many goofy things happen, funny things are said, good drinks are mixed (usually by the lovely Vanilla and Polar Bear), food is munched, dance moves improved and improvised, songs are dissected and photos are taken. Which brings me to today's post... Great family portraits. The next Chicago Family get together MUST include some of these great poses:

Classic - minimal smileage




Yoga Love!


For Donkey - South Park portraits?



Jump, for my love!



In and line, saucy look over the shoulder
