Howard Hughes on a Budget

Howard Hughes was a reclusive billionaire who lived unseen for decades by nearly every person who knew or worked for him. He also lived in his own filth while simultaneously issuing insane rambling edicts about hygiene to his mormon staff. Plus he banged more women than Wilt Chamberlain. So there’s three reasons he was awesome. Haven’t you always wished you could be just like him — shrouded in secrecy while waging a never ending furtive war on germs, public perception, and sanity? Well, now you can, except for the whole banging more women than Wilt Chamberlain, because, you know, you’re not a billionaire.

Because of his hermit-like existence, it’s actually surprisingly affordable to affect one of the richest men in history. You’ll find, once you get past the stares, odor, and total lack of sunlight, that the lifestyles of the rich and famous are, firstly, not only reserved for the rich and famous, and, secondly, truly are the only way to live. Just follow this handy guide, and you’ll be on your way to the abyss faster than you can say, “Freemasons run the country.”

Is it just me…

…or does this guy look like Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds?

Sexy and the Bandit

My credit card image got approved

Meat!

Capital One has this thing where you can design your own credit card. Naturally, I chose a close-up picture of meat. I guess since it’s not copyrighted, sexually inappropriate, have religious imagery, feature the olympics, or have a candid Glamour Shot® of Adolph Eichmann, it got approved. So, in 7-10 business days, I should be able to buy all the aquariums and lava lamps my credit limit can bear. Now I just have to wait for my name change to Lee Marcel Cardholder to go through.

Explain To Me Why This Is Funny

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. People who find the comics in The New Yorker funny deserve to be punched in the back of the head. I present to you this abject example of banality:

Seriously, Fuck The New Yorker

Seriously, fuck The New Yorker. Unless this is about that whole Haiti thing.

NBC’s “Life” Didn’t Understand Video Games or Computers or Detective Work or Embezzling

NBC’s now-cancelled show “Life” seems to have had a tenuous grasp on the concept of video games, computers, and crime. In this hard hitting episode,  a drug dealer hid all his top secret drug dealing spreadsheets inside his copy of Prince of Persia, and the only way to access his crime Quickbookz, is by beating the game. I remember seeing this when it came out, but it took me forever to finally find it. Apparently the network doesn’t want you to see it — either because of copyright issues or embarrassment. I’d like to think both, but for a channel that airs something like 9 different iterations of Law & Order — each more inane than the previous —  I’m pretty sure embarrassment isn’t something they feel anymore. Check out the video:
