Some of you may remember my fortune cookie resume - well, I sent it to Boing-Boing a while back, and Xeni emailed me to say it seemed “kind of cool.” …which would have been enough to make me happy, but today, she included it in her Omakase links, complete with a “thanks to… Charlie B… etc” (at the bottom.)I got on BB, thus breaking my long-standing record of never getting anything submitted posted. This pleases me! Here’s the link.

I am a Dog

“He perked right up when we started calling him Charlie *B*. We chose the name Charlie because he just looked like one of those characters in the painting “Dogs Playing Poker”. He just reminded us of a poker visor wearin’, stogey hangin from his mouth kind of dog.”
Drunken Drawings

I found this website while browsing Jeremiah’s Painting-a-Day blog (previous post) a while back… this hasn’t been updated in months, so I guess it was a short-lived project, but there was some dang great drunk drawing happening here. I forgot how much I enjoy inebriated collaborative art making… I might need to give it a shot again sometime soon. anyone up for it?

Will Hamburger

I was browsing the latest cool-person haircut-club music news on Pitchfork, and came across this amazing commercial for BPB’s new joint - had to make sure you all see it. Two of my favorite Drag City slickers, powers combined. The last line is esp. Hamburgery… crack’d me up and down.
Neil Hamburger was in Atlanta a few nights ago, but I missed it. Dang. Geuss I should pay more attention. (speaking of Drag City-ers tho, I did catch Six Organs of Admittance at the EARL the other night and it was f’n badd to the awe to the some.)
Steven Colbert Wins the Day
April 30, 2006 | Filed Under funny haha, god bless the internet, politics | 1 Comment
Colbert was somehow granted an opportunity to speak (for about 20 minutes!) at the White House Press Corps Dinner… and absolutely rocked the mic. The President was not only in attendance, but was seated about 10 feet away from him, and Colbert didn’t back down. The man’s got balls of steel, y’all. Practically everything he said was simultaneously brutal and hilarious. The audience was seriously nervous - but still laughing. It was awesome. I followed a link Boing-Boing to watch the entire video… you’ve got to see it.And hey, if it gets you in the mood for this sort of thing, why not rewatch Jon Stewart’s inspired appearance on Crossfire?
Yeah, but what about the OTHER guy I look like…

Everyone knows and everyone tells me that I look like “the guy from Iron & Wine,” but lately I’ve been getting a new one. The other day, one of my film industry colleagues mentioned that I bear a bit of a resemblance to the dude in the new Fiona Apple video. I hadn’t seen it, sorry… so she showed me on teh internets (it’s really awesome, by the way, you should totally watch it) and it turns out that the guy is my newest doppleganger, Zach Galifianakis.
This actually isn’t the first time I’ve been compared and/or contrasted to the Z-man. I’ve heard it a few times. I know it could be the beard. In fact, it probably is the beard, mainly. But let’s also consider the razor-sharp wit. That’s probably not a coincidence.I must say, now that I think about it, that I’m proud to be included in the Sam Beam/Zach Galifianakis Beard-Mystery Club. Mr. & Wine is setting a fine example for all of us aspiring folksters looking to quietly rock the socks off some junebugs, and Z-Gal is a bad-ass in his own right - for one thing, he fuckin hangs out with Sarah Silverman, Fiona Apple, and Carrot Top. So yeah, cool. The captions in his “photos” section of his website are pretty funny, too.
Oh, lest I forget - also in the club: Doug Martsch. He has the same model beard as Holden and me. We told him once, after his solo set at the 40 Watt and he was like, “Dudes, it’s like lookin’ in a fuckin’ mirror.” Nice guy. I’m thinking about making a “Beard Mystery Club” T-shirt with that quote. It could be our motto.
Leprechauns and M&Ms
April 15, 2006 | Filed Under friends, funny haha, god bless the internet, mysterious | 1 Comment
Christa sent me these video links. i sure liked them. you sure will too.My dad didn’t mention anything about it, but apparently, there was a leprechaun sighting in Mobile, Alabama around St. Patrick’s Day. It sounds crazy, but I don’t know, man, these people really believe it. You should see the conviction in their eyes when they tell you “to me it looked like a leprechaun to me.” and the amateur sketch is so lifelike… you just can’t make this stuff up. shit, it even got on the news, so you know it’s not fantasy… it gotta be for real. Here’s the news clip: leprechaun in the hood.
and here’s a remix video. frankly, I don’t see the humor in making light of these people’s traumatic encounter with a supernatural creature, but I guess some folks just don’t have any consideration for other people’s feelings. gosh.Speaking of hilarious comedy at other people’s expense: here is a hidden camera video showing what happens when a tourette’s syndrome patient wakes up to discover a life-size M&M manequin standing next to his bed. Supposedly it was an “experiment” set up by his “psychiatrist.” “crazy.”thanks, christa.update: so right after I posted, I noticed the logo for “www.tourettesguy.com” in that last video. I checked it out, and there are a whole bunch more clips of the dude cussing and saying really strange things… but my impression now is that I think it might be fake. It’s hard to say for sure, but it seems a little too funny to not be staged. However, the operative word there is funny. I can confirm that the other videos I looked at on the site are indeed pretty great. if he’s an actor, he’s got a good thing going. if it’s the real deal, well… it just got weirder. but either way, we can enjoy it, so whatev.another update: haha i didn’t realize that christa had already posted all this stuff on her blog a couple of days ago. whoops. sorry to anyone who looks at both of our pages. but it is kind of awesome that we both independantly captured the same frame of the video with that beautiful drawing.
