superdoofus-stratodrive: it’s justin’s birfday party tomorrow. they just got a barbeque and i’m bringing a few steaks. what you see here is three strip steaks, one hanger steak, and a damn-near perfect medallion of filet mignon/chateaubriand. i wanted to get full-on t-bones or porterhouses, but the slab they (dean and deluca’s) were cutting from had huge veins of fat bisecting the strip and the tenderloin looked like shit (even their kobe slabs were hella crappy, what’s up with that?!). thus giving me the excuse to upgrade to the decent slab of strip they had (i didn’t pick the presliced, not after i saw the marbling on the slab and that it had been cut to the middle already. i mean, how the hell could i pass this opportunity up?!). anyway, you party-goers, know that you can all have a bite or two and that a lot of care went into my selection and that these steaks are all sitting in a bath of my two secret ingredients right now…awaiting their transformation upon the grill tomorrow. prep your steak knife butterknife, birthday boy!  So effin’ psyched.

“ …economists believe that pornography is an industry with inelastic demand — meaning market conditions typically don’t affect consumers’ desire for the product. In other words, it is believed that most porn consumers would continue to buy regardless of how much it cost.

Porn Tax Considered As Solution To Budget Shortfall

Wow, I’d love to see the economists who specialize in the porn industry …

But I think this is pretty smart. It’s one step closer to legalizing weed and making huge bucks taxing that! Combine that with the reduced costs of the money-dump of a drug war and you’ve got a prosperous, and happy state.

I'm not gonna lie ...

… getting a shitload of messages on my Facebook wall is one of my favorite things when my birthday comes around each year. That, and large anonymous deposits into my bank account.

“There Will be Bud” 

An outstanding shot-for-shot remake of the “There will be Blood” trailer.

Ah, how times have changed… 

“ When Hannah returns, she asks Tom to be her maid of honor. Tom accepts, but he intends to ruin Colin’s chances of marrying Hannah. Tom now sees himself as the perfect man for her, even if he’s a god-damned dirty man-whore.
A hlarious pot o’ hate for “Made of Honor.”

caro: My local deli kitty.  I think all stores should be required to have animal friends. These poor little guys must be terrified all day, though.

irrationalblog: …eating it did give you that after McDonald’s mixture of a slightly upset stomach, a feeling of emptiness, embarrassment and that immediate feeling that your body is covered in grease. Why does McDonald’s do that? Gross.  I completely agree. Steve keeps on bringing McDonald’s fries back to work for lunch. I can’t avoid eating a couple, but it always ends like this.

I’ve heard about this film for a long time. In 1982, three friends — Chris Strompolos, Eric Zala and Jayson Lamb — got together to begin a shot-for-shot re-creation of “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” a film that had been released just a year before. Their ambitions were huge — they committed to re-creating every single effects shot, including the giant rolling boulder at the film’s beginning. For the next seven and a half years, mostly on summer breaks, the three made Raiders: The Adaptation, with help from friends and parents. The uncannily accurate reproduction, initially shot on a Sony Betamax rented by Chris’s mom, is replete with a massive fiberglass boulder and Chris’s dog, Snickers, in the part of Indiana’s sidekick monkey.As they got older, Eric and Chris fought over girls and stopped filming, eventually becoming friends again long enough to finish the film. After one screening in 1989, all three forgot about it. The film is now shown around at festivals but screenings are very limited.

Enjoy the 1st 10 minutes of their epic masterpiece. So far it’s amazing. I’ve got to find a way to see the whole thing.

 It’s quite the movie. I have the whole thing on my computer machine, send me an email and it’s yours, Paul!

Patrick Cassels is hilarious and full of anecdotes. It just didn’t make sense that he didn’t have Tumblr. We pled with him. We reasoned. Jake even organized a petition. But nothing worked.

Today we held an intervention. I organized, Ricky hosted, Jake, Sarah and Amanda wrote letters, and Amir and Blake shot it.

Ladies and gentlemen: patrickcassels.tumblr.com.

 Makes me want to get a tumblr too …

oh shi- 

Last week Richard told me he was bored and wanted to shoot something. Yesterday I went over to the very nice new Gawker offices with a puppet and the talented Ben Ross. We came up with this promo, yay!

“ The Resistance says the new image “has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute,” Mark Dice, founder of the group, said in a news release. “Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves Slutbucks.
Please Mark, we all know that “Starsluts” would be a far better term.
