from craigslist, by eric:

Looking for an athletic, young person to give my dong some exercise on weekday afternoons. Basic responsibilities will include letting him out, maybe tossing some balls around the backyard and potentially some light grooming work to remove any burrs or mud that might get matted into the fur. You should be a good runner and strong enough to wrestle my dong to the ground, because there are some days when he won’t come right away. I can’t afford to pay much, but if you’re anything like me the enjoyment you get from my dong will be more than enough compensation for your efforts. Please respond ASAP and we can set up a time for you to become acquainted with my dong and discuss the specifics.

he purportedly wrote this after misreading another post on craigslist earlier in the day.

update: eric’s ad got flagged and removed from craigslist but not before someone replied to it.

for your consideration: movies eric has not seen.

how are you a 25 year old dude that hasn’t seen any of the terminator movies?! godfather movies?? ‘honey, i shrunk the kids’ for pete’s sake??! i don’t know either. ask eric.

also, i have upgraded to movable type 3.11, so if there are any problems/hiccups you guys notice, please let me know!

gmail invites

i have 6

so far i might have 2 takers. but nothing solid yet. since apparently i was just about the last person ever to get a gmail account – everyone else seems to have one already.

birthday

it doesn’t feel like my birthday is just around the corner. remember when you were a kid and you would start the birthday countdown like 3 months prior and you would totally know exactly what toy you wanted or whatever? well in the time that has elapsed since the party on saturday, i completely forgot about my birthday. mom, you can find my wishlist in the A/V Club section, but here is the link again: my amazon wishlist.

etc

also i put together a big puzzle of wine corks. yay.

check out this pineapple pillow from linens ‘n things. are you kidding me? kudos to the photographer for taking the picture with that big seam up front and center. and i quote:

This LNT Home Pineapple Pillow makes a great conversation piece for use with any décor.

ANY décor? really??

kara: who would want this

andrew: wtf, indeed i do not know

andrew: you are what you…sleep on?

kara: ha prickly and…uh

andrew: pinepillow?

andrew: pilapple?

kara: sounds sort of like falafel

andrew: plapple?

kara: PLAPPLE

andrew: not sure where the L comes from, but i think we have a winner

andrew: “honey, can you pass me my plapple?” response:

andrew: “get your own” or rather “get your own plapple”

kara: plapple should be the new word for the confused noise one makes when confronted with a questionable design choice

andrew: i like your idea

andrew: slight head-cocking should accompany

andrew: plapple?

kara: she has plastic flamingoes in her yard! oh man, talk about a plapple!

kara: straight woman: what do you think of this zebra print hat with a REAL zebra head on the top? isn’t it SO lion king mid 90s?

kara: gay male friend: oh HONEY no…plapple city! [insert stereotypical loose-wristed hand flip here]

andrew: wow lol plapple city

andrew: like circuit city but with more plapple

[…]

andrew: “plapple.com” is available.

been seeing a lot of movies this past week, so i don’t know when i’ll be posting my ‘reviews’ of new films. also i’m still procrastinating about that whole japan trip report thing, but maybe i’ll get to that this next weekend friday.

i use that adjective a lot.

a LOT.

sorry.

I’ve got something in my front pocket for you
Why don’t you reach down in my pocket and see what it is
Then grab onto it, it’s just for you
Give a little squeeze and say, “How do you do?”
There’s something in my front pocket
There’s something in my front pocket
There’s something in my front pocket…
