Bros, Brodettes,

it’s been a lil bit and I apologize. I was in Florida last week, hangin in a wild beach neighborhood, then over to my parents place and in Alabama a bit to see my cute grandma. While I was there I was super stoked to see the Blue Angels show and with the previous post, you’ve seen what came of that. The umbrella video is traversing the internet now, getting tons of hits and generally having a pretty good time in it’s posh new famous life. as of right now it’s got about 14,000 on youtube and some douche ripped it from there and reposted on break.com where it’s gotten 240,000 or so. It was on college humor and my favorite: Countdown with Keith Olbermann, “oddball”:

VBS vs The Hold Steady aired today, maybe it’s not what I expected but it’s still fun to watch:

The new Hold Steady record is killer, it opens w a Dillinger 4 reference and continues in a wordy rock n roll spiral to greatness. Some really smart, stellar writing involved.

NEWS: BAD DANCING LEADS TO ARREST OF PLYMOUTH MAN

NEWS/CULTURE?: COUPLE MARRIED AT WAFFLE HOUSE

NEWS/CULTURE?:PLAYBOY.COM FEATURES ‘THE GIRLS OF OLIVE GARDEN

this story resonates on a deep, personal level with me. Back in college my roomate, Ted and my neighbor Skot and I would occasionally go eat at the Olive Garden (da OG if you will) and continuously took advantage of the endless breadstick and salad deal that permeates the OG’s reputation (aside from, now, their shamefully unattractive, nearly nude girls online). While we enjoyed our Italian combo meals greatly we always noticed that we were only seated one one side of the split restaurant, after a few visits and some glances down the hall to the other side we assumed that they were ashamed of our appearance and sat us in the section with the other cretins who were drooling on the floor and letting their kids defecate in the seats. Collectively we decided it was time for a change, time to step up to the plate, to show THE MAN what we were made of. And so we donned our finest suits shirts and ties (pants and shoes too!) and stormed the OG gates. As the hostess began to seat us in the same damn section we’d been sitting in I stopped her and exclaimed “AHEM….excuse me but…I think we deserve to sit on the…OTHER….side today, thanks.” She gave me the most blank, albeit slightly confused look I’ve seen and said “ohhhhhkaaaaaay” and led us down the path to golden greatness. As we entered the gates of heaven and chicken parmigiana we sat down next to a man with his teeth on the table, a group clad in camouflage, babies flinging poo, and I might’ve even seen a hen running around. The moral of the story? Money might not be able to buy you happiness, but it might just get you a seat at a better Italian restaurant. the end.

I gotta go get a drink now w raincloud and the tattler. yall have some fun
