The Las Vegas Comedy Festival - ticket giveaway!!!!

Talsarahsilverman-1
The Comedy Festival is coming up next week at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, featuring performers such as Dave Chappelle, Bill Maher, Dane Cook and the so-hot-it-hurts Sarah Silverman. And we've got four free tickets for the Sarah Silverman show to give away for Saturday 18th November at Caesar's Palace.

Now, you're gonna have to make your own way there - so this is probably most suitable if you're in or near the Vegas area. But if that's the case, all you have to do is email us your name and address, and we'll randomly pick out the winner on Tuesday. Or maybe Wednesday. Depends how busy we are.

I'll be repeating this message daily until then, because I know you guys don't pay as much attention as you should. And it'll give us an excuse to run some Silverman clips from YouTube. And believe me, we don't have that many readers in Vegas, so if you enter, you stand a pretty good chance of getting them.

Tell all your friends. It's not often we give free shit away, and I'd hate them to go to waste.

I truly thought this was a joke till I went to his Myspace page and saw the videos.

Thanks for destroying another part of my childhood Billy...I liked you better when your were shooting heroin and screwing hookers.

New...from Jellio Design

cone_glasses_main.jpg

Jellio GummiGlasses...a tribute to the classic waffle ice cream cone, with stems molded from the same rubber material as the Jellio gummilight. Whether it's martinis on the terrace, or ice cream with friends, gummi glasses will make any occasion more fun. A GREAT gift idea.

This has been another shameless plug from Jellio.com...not for the glasses, but for the obviosly above-average copywriting and photo shoot stylist skills. (Leonardo DaWho?)

Cool demonstration

For anyone who's tried out Second Life, and found the controls for moving around a little awkward, and the faces somewhat expressionless, all I can say is, it's only a matter of time before this is your interface.

Commenting issues

Lately, YBNBY has been deluged with spam comments from wandering bots who believe we need Japanese pornography and fertility aids. The fact that we probably do need both those things is besides the point/

Every day, I was having to go though a list of over 1000 moderated comments in case a real comment got accidentally moderated too, so i could approve it. And meanwhile the database grew ever larger. So I've really tightened up the spam filters, to block them immediately Which seemed to stop the spam, but I've started to hear that people had had problems posting genuine comments too.

If you are having problems, email me to tell me what happened and I'll see if I can pinpoint the issue and find a workaround. If a particulat comment doesn't go through, cut and paste the comment to me, so I can take a look at. Note: putting a url in your comment will most likely get you banned, so please don't. Unfortunately, putting “awww.” (as in “how cute”) in your comment will also get you banned, as it's the only word in the English vernacular that has three w's, (apart from web addresses).

Loose like a wizard's sleeve

Borat-Flag
I went to see Borat last night. Pretty funny, although neither I not the audience I was with laughed as hard as I thought they would.

Unlike these guys (not that we condone this)

I want you to read me as hard as you can

My first love: comics. My favorite movie: Fight Club. A mashup of Dennis the Menace and Fight Club? What's not to love.

The world is one big Rube Goldberg machine.

mukaka.jpg

- Candidate goes out on campaign trail
- Candidate makes speech...refers to someone in the crowd as Makaka
- Someone in crowd has video camera
- local news runs video of candidate calling person Makaka
- national news runs video of candidate calling person Makaka
- Stewart and Colbert run video of candidate calling person Makaka
- Local, national and comedy coverage of Makaka causes investigations into prior incidents
- Stories begin airing in regard to Candidate having confederate flag, using N-word...I don't know, having bed sheets with two little holes in them...whatever
- Candidate's Senate race gets very tight
- Candidate loses Senate race
- Seat becomes DECIDING VOTE in giving Senate to Democrats
- Having lost both the House and the Senate, President goes ahead with plan to fire Secretary of Defense
- New Secretary of Defense, along with a President's desire to appear bi-partisan with a Democrtaic Congress, leads to POSSIBLE end of war
- And I still don't even know what the fuck Makaka means.

Don't get me wrong...I'm FREAKIN' THRILLED he said it. I just wonder if it works this way on other planets.

(Anyone here ever play mousetrap? That was a cool game.)

I'm gonna start living life like Michael Steadman

If you miss the faux pearls, you get the ducks.

By the way...these days, Mikey produces a really good show on Sunday nights.

Hipster Haiku

HipsterHaiku.jpg

As the site states...use these as an alternative to Die Hipster Scum next time you're in Williamsburg. My personal favorites include...

Unicorn tote bag
Holds metal LPs and—shhh—
LSAT study sheets

When the tattoos creep
Past the sleeve line to knuckles,
Time to quit retail

While he sleeps, I spy
Ann Coulter on his bookshelf
Slip out quietly

Hipster Haiku...now at Wal-Mart.

Breakfast Links

- It appears Britney broke the news to Mr. Spears by simply texting him. I've heard of cold, but man...brrr.
- I hope she didn't use a bunch of smiley faces and LOL's, because apparently that would make her a loser.
- Words cannot describe the odd feeling I have when a room full of women practices their glute squeezes.
- After the glutes, I was curious if YouTube would have video of a certain chairman's daughter...and Voila.
- And the trailer for Evan Almighty is out. Steve Carell grows a beard and builds an ark...what's not to love.
