Funny Video: Ham Hat Funny or Die

Sometimes all you need to know is this is a funny video. Click on it. I got it from Adam McKay’s twitter feed where he called it, “One of the best user submitted videos I’ve ever seen on FOD.” The soundtrack is what makes this video kill. Enjoy. Thank me later.
Selling in This Market Is a ‘Field of Dreams’
by NONPOPULIST / Kevin Costner / movies / Nonpopulist / sports / viral marketing / Comments Off
Field of Dreams was a great movie. Kevin Costner was good in that movie. That’s how I choose to remember him, as Field of Dream Costner, not For the Love of the Game Costner. *Time slows down and I become a better blogger. The rest of this post will be typed in slow motion.*

Damn, I can’t keep that up. But was at least that part better than usual? I was typing at a pretty high level there. Anyway, the owners of the house, Don and Becky Lansing, are ready to sell it off. They made a website solely for that purpose. View it here. I have to applaud them on the idea of making a website. Old people can get viral too apparently because this link is getting passed around like the last doobie at Woodstock. I think I just coined a phrase. /sploosh. The only problem is viral marketing is already beginning to show some cracks. The consuming public is beginning to see through these crazy youtube videos that end up being fake, and I see through the Lansing’s attempt. They are tired of being the owners of the Field of Dreams house and adjacent baseball field. The lady is tired of making lemonade for everyone who stops by to force a family moment by walking on the field and having a game of catch. People show up and probably expect the Lansing’s to have a Louisville Slugger, some balls, enough gloves for everyone, and fill out the field while the family bats around. They’re just getting too old for that mess. I don’t blame them. Good luck on trying to sell it, though.

Stop looking. Put down the mouse. Here, this, this fantastic photo set is all you need to see.
Gentlemen, I give you Brooklyn Decker in a bikini, doing a cartwheel. It doesn’t get much better than this.

But Can She Recite Them In Elvish?
A precious lass recites Pi to the 100th place while solving a Rubik’s cube and balancing 15 books on her head. Impressive, sure. But can she record 18 kills on Call of Duty while drunkenly carrying on a phone conversation? Didn’t think so. I maintain my superiority.
THREADPosthumous Publishing Alert: Shel Silverstein
In the second instance of whoring his unpublishing work after his passing in 1999, HarperCollins announced that they will release a collection of 120 to 130 new poems by the author of “The Giving Tree” and “Where the Sidewalk Ends”. Personally, I’m hoping they call it NOSTALGIA BAIT and plaster the cover with faded Kodak prints of sunny moments you’ll never recapture, no matter how books by dead authors you waste money on.
THREADIt Does Have a High Stone Count
Why waste your time zonking out on sheets that make your bed look soft or clean, or unfit for someone not living hand to mouth? No, not when you can emulate the downtrodden so stylistically with this set of bed sheets that makes it look as though you’re sleeping on pavement. For the recently unemployed, it’s handy transition to a future of destitution.
