Picture this: You’ve been drinking at a killer block party, but there’s one problem. There’s isn’t a single bathroom in sight! What in the world are you going to do? You can’t just go in someone’s yard. You can’t go on someone’s front steps. What’s a drunk lush to do?

Wait.. I know!

Don’t drive that car!

When I was a little kid, I really looked forward to Christmas (My dad isn’t Jewish, so we celebrated it). Why did I look forward to it so much? You probably guess it right, the presents. They weren’t just any presents. I always got video games, and I’ve been a gamer since my first Nintendo Entertainment System when I was 4. I was always excited to get more games and consoles as the years went by, but I don’t think I was ever as excited as the kid in these two videos. The first clip is the home footage (with a little tweaking) of a little boy’s christmas, opening up a present with a kickass new gaming console under the gift wrap. The second, is a nifty little remix of the boy’s excitement. Take a look!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

And now, the remix!

OMG! SIX TEA PHOAR!

My dear friend and musical partner in crime, Matt, has been locking himself in his room for days. I couldn’t find any way to get him to come out! Finally, I had a friend of ours plant a webcam in his room to find out what in the world he’s been doing with himself. Our findings were shocking… take a look.

Red Alert! Mayday!

I’m not a relationship therapist, but I think Tricia is mad…

Are you a sports fan? Are you a die hard sports fan? I bet there’s someone out there who is a bigger fan than you. Okay, I lied. He’s the biggest sports fan in the entire world. How big, exactly? So big, that he’s beginning to look like a Stalker in Training at a very young age. Take a look…

Creepy…

That’s right, kiddies! If you’re a Dodger fan (or just a fan of baseball) living in Los Angeles, and you can’t afford Field Level Box Seats at Dodger Stadium, your pre-game autograph days are over! T.J. Simers over at the Los Angeles Times wrote an article about Dodger Stadiums latest rule. According to this new rule, only fans with tickets to Field Level seating will have access to pre-game autograph opportunities that most fans of other teams have. If you read T.J.’s article, you’ll read about one fan’s stadium experience after being turned away after the new rule took effect, while his seats were just outside of the Field Level Box Seats. As a fan of the game in New York City(aside from being a Mets fan), I’m always psyched to head to Shea Stadium about two and a half hours before games to chat with players and grab some autographs. It’s something I’ve done since first going to Mets games as a kid, and it’s something I’m looking forward to doing with my future kids.

If you look closely, you can see the Field Level ushers turning people away even with the game already in progress!

How can a storied organization like the Dodgers turn away not only the adult fans, but the children (whose family or friends can’t afford box seats) that come to ballgames hoping to get an autograph from one of their favorite player? Well, according to a Dodgers PR guy, an area in Center Field will is dubbed as “Autograph Alley”, where one former Dodger will sign autographs before every game. Ex-Dodgers like Lee Lacy and Jim Gott have already showed up to the centerfield area, where no current players are expected to venture out to before a game. But what 10-year-old wants Lee Lacy’s autograph? Wouldn’t he/she rather have Andruw Jones’ autograph? What about Brad Penny?

In a follow up article on the LA Times website by T.J. Simers, The Dodgers are awaiting ‘more data’ as they begin to reconsider the new rule, while fans have been pushing complaints through. If you have anything to tell the Dodgers Organization about this new rule, send an email over to fanfeedback@ladodgers.com and let the Dodgers PR people know exactly how you feel.

Welcome to the United States of America, where in Los Angeles, the dollar gets you autographs of your favorite athletes. Now get back to your “Reserved” seat, lower class citizen! If I were a Dodger Fan in Los Angeles, I’d be almost as mad as Phillip Wellman when he argues with umpires…

Go, Phillip, Go!

Here’s another video (only the 2nd or 3rd) that I stole from my sister’s blog. AT&T went out and hired Rock Legend, Meatloaf,  and Former Pop Star, Tiffany. What did they hire them for? For a super awesome cover of Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” to promote a AT&T’s ‘Go Phone’. I’m not always for the cheesy celebrity commercials, but this one was just plain awesome. Enjoy!

Anyone for Tiff-Loaf?

To mark his 1,000th episode, Jimmy Kimmel invited Richard Simmons on as a guest, and to shoot a new viral video on YouTube. I’m not sure if I like this one as much as his “I’m $&%@ing Ben” video, but it definitely has its moments. Maybe you’ll laugh a little more than I did. Enjoy!

I said you’re not clean! Clean up!
