…WITH A TWIST

FIRST OF ALL. ZOOLANDER 2. IT’S HAPPENING. I don’t know about you guys but when I heard this today I freaked out and immediately wanted to get a frap and go have a gas station oil fight. But to each their own.

Also, Canadians know how to celebrate a win. Too bad the Olympics might be punishing them for straight up busting out cigars and bubbly on the ice.

Speaking of the Olympics, a new London logo was just released and it’s REALLY GOOD. At least there are no subtle/strange undertones like the other one (it’s below the awesome one)…I mean, really look at it.

If anyone was near Mower A last night they would have heard my roommate and I yelling “SICK, OH MY GOD, SWEET, A DOUBLE MCTWIST!?” We didn’t really know what these terms were but she had a poster of him in her locker circa 2006 and I used to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater like it was my job. Well, it paid off for us because our yelling clearly led Shaun White to his second gold medal in a row in the Olympic half-pipes. Also, I would just like to point out that a) the faceplant that, that one guy had looked like it really hurt and b) why are snowboarders wearing jeans. Not bendy.

His hair so crazy. Anyway, America continues to do really well in Vancouver across the board. I asked my British friend downstairs how they were doing and he was unsure if they were even in it. Sorry motherland! Speaking of:

I feel the same way little one. The same way.

Hey, it is a party in the U.S.A. with all this gold. AMMIRIGHT?

Not a huuuge fan of Old Spice, but I just really like this ad. Just sayin’!

Yeah, you read that correctly. Some lady decided to get all creative and completely subvert the whole I AM NOT EATING IN THE MONTHS LEADING UP TO MY WEDDING THING and essentially be buried in her own edible dress. Creative. Well, except for the fact that there wasn’t really a lady who decided to wear this at all, but this was actually an artistic endeavor. POETIC LICENSE MMK. The woman’s name is Lukka Sigurdardottir and I have no idea where she’s from or what motivated her to do this. But it looks DELICIOUS.

Also in case you were bored and wanted to see what Lifetime and Megadeath have in common you should take this quiz to see whether the title is that of a Lifetime movie or a Megadeath song. You will fail. Unless you really like Lifetime and/or Megadeath–in which case, you really should try some new activities. Badminton is really picking up steam again.

In the world of science there is always crazy stuff happening: weird t-shirts, batteries that now run on human blood, and of course…actually I have no idea, I’m of the humanities. I just thought these shirts were FUNNIE….but in that, never actually wear them kind of way. Like a bonnet!

Also, Conan is officially out (though with 32.5 million dollars in the bag). I’m still bitter though because he should have gotten a chance to get the Tonight Show going. AND NBC IS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY HIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY like the masturbating bear! FASCISTS! At least there is 3o Rock. If there wasn’t, I would be leading a full blown march from Texas to New York City, channeling the stamina of Forrest Gump and demanding donations from ABC, Fox, CBS, and Dippin’ Dots in case I get hungry.

Last, but certainly not least, the founder of the real liberty bell, Taco Bell, that is, passed away today. Glen W. Bell was 86. May the oceans of heaven overfloweth with Baja Blast good sir. Say hi to the chihuahua for me. We had a thing.

With the Freshman Snow Ball and other events coming up on campus, I think it’s only right that we treat Russia and it’s token girl to come over to the States and perform her beat-boxing routine for everyone. We’ll have to work on the pauses for her to catch her breath and the whole communism thing, but I think something can be arranged.

Also, in other child-news, parents keep putting their daughters in beauty pageants. Now they have dentures called “flippers,” and it’s just as freaky looking as it sounds. I watched Free Willy as a kid. Now, those were age-appropriate flippers. This makes me think I’m looking at an ad for 28 Days Later: When Bleach-Blond Children Attack

I’m still scared. Just FYI.

Also, in honor of MLK day and all of the children in the world, all public schools in Denver proved JUST HOW FAR WE’VE COME with its lunch menu….

(Also: this is mildly related and awesome…it appeals to the youth?)

Last but not least in a disturbing/clever/genius? ploy to get the youth of today to read books that aren’t riddled with misspellings and SPARKLE LOVIN’, some publishers have re-issued classics with covers that can only appeal to the twihards that have overtaken the streets and the bestsellers lists.

I don’t know about you guys, but with this stamp of endorsement I am going to be ALL UP IN THAT WUTHERING HEIGHTS. all up in it.

Gregory N. Mankiw may be an entertaining (re: so pompous it’s funny) man, but his lecture is probably the last thing on the mind of those enterprising students who trudged through the rain to Sanders for today’s lecture. At the beginning of class, a bald bat-like man ran through lecture in a bright orange jumpsuit and attacked an unfortunate student toward the front row.

As a bemused Mankiw looked on, a doctor in lab coat rushed in seeking the bat boy, sedating syringe in hand. And we’ve got it all on vid.  Marginal cost of watching? That essay will probably suffer. Marginal revenue? Unbounded joy.

Want more? Check here. And make sure you go see Bat Boy playing December 4-11 in the NCT.

Jesus take the wheel. Just watch it.
