Love buffalo chicken and milkshakes? Try out Robert Bishop’s 30 Rock-inspired creation and see an unholy alliance of ice cream and tomato sauce. Clearly Mr. Bishop does not read the bible as Jesus would definitely frown upon such a creation.

The bulk of the photos on Instagram feature clouds and sunsets. I should know, I take most of them. And outside of the random dog pictures, or the barely-legal girls taking photos of themselves in the mirror while giving the duckface, it’s hard to find exceptional and consistently great photographers on Instagram. But there is one.
His name is ScienceHill_360 (or Brother Bill as we’ve always known him).
Incidentally, he happens to be the brother of our favorite former co-writer Miss Cellania and he is one talented instagramologist. He even took the time to teach Baierman and me some tricks about taking better photos and tricks for using the largest mobile social network. So, if you’re on Instagram and you want someone excellent to follow (outside of Baierman and myself) check out ScienceHill_360. Your rods and cones will thank you.

(I originally wrote this on YesButNoButYes, but I figured it was time to bring it back out.)
My intern keeps winking at me, rubbing her stomach and whispering “nine months” as she walks past. Lou, from accounting, dropped off a pamphlet on alcoholism on my desk, and there’s a pentagram burned into the carpet in my office. The day after an office holiday party is one full of regrets. Too much drink. Too much flirtation. Too much truth. The excesses are revealed the day after, and no matter how much you promise not to repeat the same mistakes next year, you always do. Always.
This year, I’ve written up a guide to keep you safe and prepared for next year. We’ll forgo the standard, don’t tell the boss to fuck off, don’t drink too much, advice. We’re going deeper this year.

Ah ignorance! Is there anything better than your whitewashing of history? Your infusion of misguided beliefs? Your self-centered head-buried in the sand ideals? Let’s face it, there’s a large part of this country that has absolutely no clue what they’re talking about. Take, for example, the recent Lowe’s controversy in which they removed their ads from All-American Muslim, a show depicting five muslim families living in Dearborn, Michigan. They pulled it because a conservative group in Florida (or, “not those people again”) called the Florida Family Association decided it was un-American to broadcast a show that depicted religion as anything other than Christian and they started a letter writing campaign. So forget the fact that this country has something called freedom of religion, and that one of the men on the show is a police officer protecting the Jesus-loving asses of his town. No, you see, the FFA wants America to fit into their ideals and their beliefs and if the comments section of the Lowe’s Facebook page is any indication, there’s a large number of Americans who are just as ignorant. This is absolutely in no way different than the Westboro Baptist Church protesting at the funerals of dead homosexuals.
Unfortunately, all of this is just another in a horribly long line of American ignorance that fails to see what our country was truly built on, and instead finds splintered “religious” groups pushing their own agenda by misinterpreting true American ideals. Need more proof? Keep reading.

Because the main (and really, only) writers on this site also happen to work in the advertising industry, we’re always looking for ways to make our jobs more interesting. And since Don Draper made drilling your secretary passe in the late 60’s, it’s been an uphill climb every since. Luckily, Brand Memory attempts (and succeeds) to make advertising and marketing fun. Think you know what brand’s logo is being shown quicker than your friends? Try out this game and put your logo recall to the test.

Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo went through my family quicker than Swine Flu. Perhaps it was because it was well written, or that my family is part Swedish and all the pain and misery made us long for our cold homeland. We liked it so much that we bought the Swedish versions of the trilogy and talked about how disappointed we were they were making an American version. That is, until we heard David Fincher was at the helm of (at least) the first one.
In preparation for the upcoming American version, the production company has put together an amazing “Hard Copy” video aimed to look like a mid-80’s VCR recording. It’ll get you up to speed quickly on the story, and will leave die-hard Lisbeth Salander fans drooling for more. Also check out the expertly edited 8-minute long trailer to get a sense of the film.

We all like looking at cheerleaders, but rarely do we get to see what they see during a game. An LSU cheerleader strapped a GoPro to her head during a recent game and shot some impressive video of what her routine looks like during a game.
The video fails to show all the drunk guys in the stands asking her to take her top off, or telling her to get off the field so they can get a better view of the game.

There’s no such thing as too much of a good thing, just ask the folks at DGN Custom Guitars. They built a fully-playable 8 neck guitar designed by Gerard Huerta called the “Rock Ock.” Now, there’s no need to build something like this let alone make it playable, but the fact that they did and it is makes this simply fucking awesome.

Would I bang Casey Anthony? I’m not sure. Girl sure does like to party, and she’s just trashy enough to let you fingerbang her in the parking lot of a Ruby Tuesdays. But how does she stack up against other “alleged” female murders? I fed her data into our NASA-created Bang-O-Meter and came out with some results on a scale of 1 - 10.
