Just seeing the words “Wale” and “Blu & Exile” on the same poster is almost as satisfying as seeing their names on the same $13 ticket. Seems like the Gods of Summer Concerts are doing a little conspiring. If Prince is opening for a reincarnated Marvin Gaye anytime this summer, I’m going to be real suspicious.

perpetualstateofflux:

And treats your body as well as she does.

The excerpted quote above is the best slogan I’ve yet heard for selling and feminizing any product in the world.

”The Callaway Steelhead X14 5-Iron treats your body as well as she does.”

Nick and I at the “America’s Hottest College Girl” party.

In the spirit of hot chicks and funny boys, I was going to interview da ladies on the most inadvertently funny thing a guy has said or done to try to impress them. But it was a bit noisy so we just did me.

The story’s true, by the way.

This is fucking hilarious.

Man driving motorized cooler faces DWI, other charges

WHITEHALL - In case you were wondering, a motorized cooler on wheels is a motor vehicle under state law.

A Whitehall man learned that on Memorial Day, when he was charged with driving while intoxicated after police pulled him over for swerving and driving on the sidewalk on a four-wheeled, motorized cooler known as a “Cruzin Cooler.”

Leslie J. “Bomber” Marr, 57, could face felony DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle charges because of prior arrests and convictions in drinking-and-driving cases, said Whitehall Police Chief Richard LaChapelle.

The electricity-powered Cruzin Cooler that Marr was riding contained 14 beers, the chief said.

LaChapelle said Whitehall Police Patrolman Andrew Mija stopped Marr at about 7:45 p.m. after the officer saw Marr swerving and preparing to cross William Street on the motorized cooler.

The machine has handlebars, and its operator sits on a seat atop the cooler, LaChapelle said.

“We were told it can do up to 12 mph,” the chief said.

Marr had apparently just left the nearby American Legion Post 83, but it was unclear where he was going, LaChapelle said. He was not headed toward his Lafayette Street home, and he refused to take a breath test, the chief said.

The Cruzin Cooler was seized by police, the chief said.

No listed phone number for Marr could be found Monday.

The Proclaimers, “Over and Done With.” From Bottle Rocket

Have been looking for this for five years. Have checked iTunes, Limewire, the Russian mp3 sites, and the music collections of every friend I’ve remembered to ask. Sure, could have ordered their debut album or the Bottle Rocket soundtrack from Amazon (never seen either disc in stores), but I wanted to find it in the junk bins. It’s an antique this song. An old Scottish relic I heard 20 seconds of in a film I loved ten years ago. I’ve hummed this song so many times since, it’s strange to hear someone else singing it. Just found it. Glorious.
