Talkin’ Bout a Head Swap, 2

2009 June 25
by Colby Day

Who would’ve know that taking one celebrity’s head and putting it on another celebrity’s body could be this amusing?


You can see the first installment here, if you so desire. I apologize for the fact that you had to watch an advertisement, but if you really want to get back at those guys, try not buying their product. They hate it when you do that.

Guy Riding a Unicycle Many readers regularly e-mail to ask things like, “Colby, how can I be as multi-talented and attractive as you are?” or “What is the appropriate holiday tip for a doorman?” While the thousands of e-mails I get like that can be flattering, they’re also somewhat of a drag on my time.

New Feature: Sponsored News

2009 June 23
by Colby Day

As people complain more and more about the death of the newspaper (and yet that damned thing keeps making its way to my doorstep), many are wondering just how the news can sustain itself in such tough economic times. Fortunately, I believe I have come up with a solution that will not only please those hoping to gain valuable information about the world around them, but also large corporations hoping to trick the ignorant masses who still read the news into purchasing their products.

I am proud to present, for the first time ever: Sponsored News. read more…

Colby Day Writes Things Again

2009 June 22
by Colby Day

Dear Internet,

Thank you very much for not noticing my extraordinarily long absence. I know it must have been difficult to remain silent so long, but without your silent consent I may never have been able to not entertain you for all this time.

I know it was hard for all of you waking up each day to find I hadn’t taken four seconds out of my day to just post a link to someone else’s hard work. But imagine how hard it was for me to not post occasional self-promotional plugs (speaking of which, new episodes of College Cooking 101 are now available at www.CollegeCooking101.net) or commentary on which fast food chain has the best chicken sandwich (Wendy’s, and I’m going to keep saying it until I get some for free).

Trust me, I love clogging the internet! Not only do I think my opinions are more important that everyone else’s, but I’m also terrified of this intricate computer network gaining the power of sentient thought. I had hoped that the vast outpouring of rage and confusion over my absence might just be the shock needed to completely overburden the internet and shut it down. But it seems I was wrong, and while I don’t apologize for anything ever, if I did it would be for that.

Well, internet, I’m back in my tireless pursuit to defeat our future technological slave masters while simultaneously entertaining you with my sporadic thoughts (I prefer to only think when absolutely necessary, and mostly about food). Because clearly, readers, you haven’t exactly been vocal enough about missing me to do it yourselves.

Sincerely,

Colby Day

Brad Pitt to Play Handsomest Top Hat in Years

2009 April 22

Here’s a little piece of radio news from The Onion. It would appear that Brad Pitt has signed on to play the part of the Top Hat in the upcoming Monopoly adaptation.I was worried radio was dead, but it’s clearly a viable medium for made up movie news that is pretty much no more outlandish than regular movie news.


I was worried radio was dead, but it’s clearly a viable medium for made up movie news that is pretty much no more outlandish than regular movie news. Thanks to I Watch Stuff for pointing this out to me, and thanks to me for pointing this out to you.

Stephen Colbert Accepts NASA’s Decision

2009 April 20
by Colby Day

Despite NASA’s move to deny Americans their god-given right to expect joke-names that are written in during elections to actually count if they win, Stephen Colbert accepted their decision to name the new space nodule “Tranquility.” But, at least he gets a treadmill named after him, and a cartoon sticker. Video below. read more…
