How to Know When to Say I Love You
New Hot Dog and the Lady Bun up at Vice!
· Next time you fart, instead of saying, “Excuse me,” yell “Nothing but net!” If she doesn’t immediately leave you, she might love you.
· Being incredibly annoying for an extended period of time can put a test on whether or not a woman truly loves you. Why not carry an accordion with you for a week and constantly ask if you can “squeeze out a tune”...

I Was on This American Life
I was on This American Life this weekend. It was fun and scary. I told Ira Glass more in 2 hours than I think I’ve told good friends. But I’m happy with the result.
Enjoy.
London Hotel Mix
I was in London for 47 hours earlier this week. I spent most of that time in a hotel room in Shepherd’s Bush writing on deadline. And to procrastinate I made a mix. And listened to it almost exclusively. It’s kind of about London. But more about Hotel Rooms. Hope you like it: LONDON HOTEL MIX

WatchThis is amazing. Apparently, in the UK you can set the TV to narrate all action if you’re blind (I’m guessing that’s the reason?) Here’s a choice clip of that popular American show about the nerds.Watch for the big surprise at the end! (This is like Braille for shitty TV!)
Quick Question About Chickens
From the chicken crossing the road, to the rubber chicken, our avian friend has been a staple of comedy for years. But what is it that attracts us to them? Is it because they’re descended from dinosaurs? Do we feel we must ridicule them to hide our own fear of extinction? Covering up our basic fear of death by insulting a harmless animal?
Or is it because they walk like real assholes? I guess...
An Interview With Kurt Braunohler

Getting Ready for a First Date - More Advice on...
There’s a lot of things that go into deciding how to get ready for a first date: What to wear, what cologne to choose, how much you’re going to mention that your grandparents were probably Nazis, etc. When dressing yourself, keep in mind that you don’t dress for the job you have, you dress for the job you want! Are you interested in someday getting married? Wear a tux to dinner! Or if you’re...

New Hot Dog and The Lady Bun on Vice - Imaginary...
We like to call projecting your feelings onto a person you’ve never met “The Honeymoon Phase,” because this is as perfect as it will ever get. In your mind, this person has all the qualities of a perfect mate: something we all know does not exist, like God or Tingrame (that’s not even a real word!) But don’t let that stop you from committing to this 100%! We recommend you make this honeymoon...

Today @albz and I deal with online dating. Full article here.
Looking for ladies online is great because it allows us to do exactly what we’re programmed to do: Play with electronics and judge women by their appearance. Plus, you can’t be rejected online. There’s software for that.

Goodbye Ginger
I grew up with red hair. And now it’s turning Blonde, like I’m some kind of asshole. My whole childhood I was mocked and ridiculed for having bright red hair, and now people like to look at me and say the words “Strawberry Blonde”, which makes me feel like a scratch and sniff.
Growing up with red hair sucked. People always assumed I was magic and tried to drink my blood to learn where I’ve hidden...
