AT-AT day afternoon from Patrick Boivin on Vimeo.

Here is something completely hilarious.

First of all, this video, by a Best Buy employee, which apparently got him fired:

It's funny for many reasons, but unfortunately, even if the customer in the video is an idiot, the guy is also kind of a total douche. Rob made a response, which is the best thing ever. Please watch:

Yes, he stayed up all night to make that, but it was worth it.

Rob showed me this the other day on Gizmodo. Notice the guy who looks completely out of place? So weird! Click on the photo for the original item at Gizmodo.

Rob just announced he's turning into Knuckles. For reference, please observe this episode of the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

OK, this isn't me, so sorry to disappoint if you thought it was. But once you watch it you will no longer be disappointed.

You're welcome.

So at Smith, there was an a capella fest or jam or something every fall, which was super popular, and the Tufts Beelzebubs would always perform. Of course, the jam only REALLY got good when Crapapella started performing there. But I digress. In any case, Rob is a student at Tufts and got this email today, which I find hilarious:

Dear Tufts Students,

Finals are winding down and we have an extra reason to celebrate!

The Beelzebubs have made it to the final three of NBC’s Sing Off. We are very proud of how far they have come. On Monday night, December 21st, our own Tufts Bubs could be crowned the national champion a cappella group in the nation, on NBC at 8 PM. The judges narrowed the field from the original eight groups to the final three. The selection of the champion is by popular vote. We can all participate in making this become a reality. If the Bubs win, they will win $100,000 and a recording contract with Sony records – quite an accomplishment for the Bubs and for Tufts.

Oh how far you've come, Beelzebubs!

OK so I really can't believe that I haven't told this tale before but I can't find it after a few searches through my archives so since I used the term recently I thought I would tell the story.

In college my overly co-dependent insane group of friends was hanging out one day when one of us (not me) told a story about how a friend of hers from back home had gone out at night and gotten completely black-out drunk, only to awaken in a stranger's bed having obviously slept with him, and remembering nothing. As "punishment" for this, she decided to literally shit on his chest (he was still asleep/passed out) and sneak out. This is completely horrifying to me on so many levels and we were all in agreement that we didn't see why the other party deserved this punishment when another friend piped up with a strangely related tale.
