Playground Spill

Prep's very own (who shall remain nameless) takes a nasty playground spill into some fluid.



Funnier, of course, if you know those involved.

Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling 2009

I think we have a winner for right now....




A bunch of drunk Brits chasing cheese down a treacherous hill. Notice some of the rugby players acting as sandbags at the bottom for all those getting a little too eager.

Great digger at 35 seconds...

Vick Spends first Night out of Jail at a Strip Club with Allen Iverson


Here's a great little update on Vick's first night out. Great quote in there... "The day that a man who was locked up for two years cannot go out and pay to see some lady parts is the day I no longer want to call myself an American."

Swingin Past Yo Knees


In case you need a refresher, the universe is talking to us...

Val Kilmer is the Geico Caveman


Someone beat me to the punch but as I was watching the Doors movie starring Val Kilmer (1991) I couldn't help but laugh the whole time at the fact that Kilmer looked exactly like the fucking Geico caveman. This picture doesn't really do the comparison justice but I couldn't find a one from the movie when he looks like a neanderthal with his beard grown out.

Typical Blog Babble.


As I found myself alone in a house for over a week , I turned to films to pass the time. The first of two must see documentaries that I saw was Cocaine Cowboys, a 2006 documentary on the rise of Miami in the 1970's due entirely in part to the cocaine trade from Columbia. The documentary is extraordinary in the way that it chronicles the rise and fall of the Miami drug tradeeconomy, and culture in general. All the Vice City shit was just as real if not more fucked up than it is portrayed in Scarface and Grand Theft Auto. The cocaine culture inflated the Miami area during the times of a recession in America due to the fact that everyone had a hand in the drug trade and was buying 10 cars a year( the biggest drug dealers more) , investing in property everywhere, and the people needed banks to put their money in. The question the film leaves the viewer asking is whether all of the lives that were taken and all of the corruption that took place were worth the sky rises and the industrial boom that made the city what it is today.
The other film I watched was Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. I don't have much to say about it other than it was truly an educational experience and that it made me feel dumb for being so clueless about all of the shit that happened in corporate America at the beginning of the new Millennium. It goes right along with what Goldman Sachs is doing to the economy right now. Although it takes a pretty extreme stance on the issue, everyone should read the article Matt Taibbi just did for Rolling Stone on the economy. Really fascinating stuff. Here it is.
The last documentary I watched was Ashes of American Flags. Its a new film on Wilco. It really doesn't compare to I am Trying to Break Your Heart in terms of content. The performances are mesmerizing, as one would expect from Wilco but there really aren't enough interviews. It just barely touches on a ton of interesting topics like the background of bassist John Stirratt and how his entire family background is grounded in music in the New Orleans area, or how the band has really seen the Midwest changing in terms of small town life revolving around Walmart, or how talented Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline really are at their crafts. However it fails to go in depth on any of the topics raised. I would save the money or time you would take to watch this and direct it towards going to see Wilco live in concert.

Between Two Ferns

Awkwardly funny skits from Funny or Die with Zach Galifianakis

Look its ben, but hes not so gay...


Jake Gyllnhal and Tobey Mcguire aka ben are in a new movie- looks alright. They def went up a few points for not casting ben as the typical dork but rather a badass crazy marine who goes psycho.

Facts of Life (Part 1)



Ok. My Independence Day is winding down so I figured I'd take some time and spit some TRUE FACTS at y'all.

First: You can't eat Crocs. The whole reason why the footwear product became popular was because middle schoolers were like " Holy shit. OMFG how cool is this?! A shoe you can eat!!!". Crocs were actually designed for people who owned yachts and sailboats. I looked it up on their website. You can't actually eat them.

Second: I live in California and the Internet sucks. Plain and simple the South Park episode where everyone headed Californi Way to find themselves some internet was fabricated. I know......I feel terribly misled as well. South Park is usually dead on with their plot lines matching up with reality.

Wilco album review on the way.
