A-One, A-Two, A-Three Clicks!
Three fun things today!
1. A new article on the NYTimes Laughlines blog.
2. A new article in today’s Metro.
3. Finally, I did my first WhiteWhine related interview with Jon Gordon who hosts Future Tense on NPR. Listen to it!
Now, I realize the last few posts on here have been all plugs and I’m going to try to stay away from that in the future or at least make the plugs funny. So,...
New York Times Again
Check out this little poem I’ve composed for LaughLines.

Two Must-Have Shirts
BT just put out some new shirts, one of which is mine and one of which you just need to have. Will you buy them? Please? They’re only $14.99 this week…
This one is from my brain.

Recipe for a Hit
You know what would be huge online?
A cute girl who could play drums like this.
Don’t let me down, Internet.
NYT for real + Me
The article I wrote for the New York Times’ Laughlines blog made it into the print edition of the New York Times today with a few changes. Go buy a copy, my article is in the Week in Review section.
Family Guy
I got a Facebook message the other day asking me if I had appeared on the Family Guy, “Blue Harvest” DVD. I asked for more information and got this screencap. That dude really, really looks like me. Who is he? Who are you? Do you really look like me or is it just in this shot?
NYT + Me
I wrote something for the New York Times’ Laughlines blog, which will hopefully be a weekly thing from now on. Enjoy.

White Folks' Guide to the NYC Subway System
If the MTA produced a subway map for white people, this is what it would look like.
Note: I should have titled this ‘A White Transplant’s Guide to the NYC Subway System.’ My bad. It’s not supposed to be a map of where white people live.
New Haven, New Haven
I wrote this as a sample article for an ad deal but I liked it so much I wanted to share it with all you fine folks. Enjoy. Or not.
New Haven, the town of my and the hamburger’s birth, is a wonderfully historic city with dozens of notable colleges: Yale. At one point in its early history New Haven was competing with Philadelphia, Boston and New York for lucrative shipping contracts with...
I guess Louis Armstrong likes cheesecake
Record Executive: Louie, we love the new tune but I think it could use some words. Why don’t you take a few weeks, write some lyrics and come back to us with a more complete, cohesive song, OK?
Louis Armstrong: I see….
(5 minutes later)
Louis Armstrong: All set with those lyrics, let’s record this sucker.
Tell Me What You Think
Here are a few things I’ve been pondering lately and I’d like your opinion on them.
1. Making WhiteWhine coffee mugs with my favorite whines on them. Just seems to fit, you know.
2. Starting a building blog where I photograph buildings I like and discuss them (Warning: I know nothing about architecture, I only know what I like and what I don’t. )
3. Find something to do with...
Wii Aren't Going To Be Shopping There Anymore
I’ve been sitting on this little tale for about a month now and I can finally post it here now that Christmas is over.
So, I got it in my head that I would get the Missus a Wii for Christmas. I looked around online but by then it was too late to simply buy one. All the stores were sold out and the only reliable place to get one was the Nintendo World store at Rockefeller Center. Of...
3 Pictures for You
1. Vermont is Cold - I was snowboarding in Stowe on New Year’s Eve and my beard literally froze. I feel like this is an experience every man should have at some point; it’s a very manly sensation. I feel like I’ve just completed some sort of rite of passage and now I have the respect of all the local lumberjacks or something. 2. Insane Mural - I spotted this in a burrito place...
