Kyle Dunnigan

If you've ever seen the character 'Craig' from Reno 911 (serial killer who's in love with Deputy Weigel), here is his stand up comedy. Kyle Dunnigan's set is excellent.

I Jizzed in My Pants

Another brilliant SNL digital short.

Cameos from Justin Timberlake, Molly Sims and Jamie Lynn Sigler.


edit: found out it's actually Andy Samberg's crew, The Lonely Island, who actually made the song and did the video. The Lonely Island crew has been making the digital shorts for SNL for the past 2 years.

Nailed it

Simple, yet hilarious Hotels.com commercial about a guy & hotel shampoo.

Ooops....

Chasing the cat around and I accidentally stepped on his arm and broke it. Sorry cat. :(

But it is quite hilarious/awesome watching him drag around the wrapped arm like a cannon.


Notice the fracture on his forearm (radius or ulna, i forget)

Keep Right, Pass Left

Whatever happened to that rule? It seems like on the highway these days, people will hold you up in whatever lane they are driving, including the fast (aka passing) lane.

Why are the Germans so efficient at this on the Autobahn? Because it is law and the police will ticket offenders. Maybe the same should be done in the US? No no, we don't need smoother traffic and less congestion.

I get tired of sitting behind someone in the fast lane when there is clearly empty space on the right lanes. Since flashing high-beams is still considered 'rude' and is technically against the law and since I also don't like tailgating people, I have no other choice but to drive around them. It would be nice if people started paying attention to their mirrors and simply moved over and let faster traffic by. It would help ease traffic congestion and there would be less need for people to weave in-and-out of all the lanes.

Check out this column that discusses the issue at hand.

Caveman

As used in the current Geico Caveman Motorcycle campaign, "Hurt You" by The Sounds. Definitely brings an 80's vibe and sound to the mix.




Geico definitely knows how to pick the best songs for their ads. Ah, one of my favorites of the Caveman commercials:

"Remind Me" by Royksopp

Welcome to Newton

The only thing I found interesting in my whole trip to Iowa. On the side of a building near main street in Newton, Iowa, a mural by Carl Homstad.

Completed in 10 days in 2003. Real impressive stuff.

Wall Street report on CNN

Uh oh, Wall Street's in trouble. The market is at a 17 year low and Lehman Brothers just filed for bankruptcy.

Time to console each other on CNN! Here's a prank the guys from the Howard Stern show did:

Happy Bday, Dad!

Happy birthday to my father, Dr. JP Shim. Some of his accolades. He turned 61 today. To think, he had me when he was 38. I guess I'm sort of a late bloomer, but that's alright. A distinguished professor of Management & Information Systems at Mississippi State University, he's had an amazing life and the stories to back it up. My grandfather is also a professor (retired) and is still trekking on at his age of 91 (I think). Here's to my father having a long and prosperous life, like his father.

I'm still jealous of how often he gets to travel.

Summer's over...

And now it ends...last day of August, the sun is setting around 7:30, weather is getting cooler.

I wish it were spring all year around. :(
