Kewl Stuff on the Interwebs

Do you know Matt Lesko? He's really kewl. He can tell you how to get free money the government gives away EVERY YEAR!!! Let's look at some photos of Matthew Lesko together!

Matt Lesko sits on couches like normal people! Like you and I!

Matt Lesko in Washington DC - That's where he finds out how to get YOU government money!

I love you Matt Lesko. You're so full of energy!Don't. Ever. Change. Matt.

I really like Matt Lesko but not as much as I like John Basedow. He looks so normal from the neck up. But then there's those abs. Boom! Don't fuck with John Basedow, he's a fitness guru. Remember when everyone thought he died in a Tsunami? That prank was so mean!

Even though he's a cultural icon, recognized across the globe for his monstrous abdomens, John stays pretty modest. In an article with the esteemed Iowa State Daily he was all like "... it's so hard to believe - that I'm a popular icon." No it's not John! NO. IT'S. NOT.

Here's a Fitness Made Simple advertisement featuring John Fucking Basedow.

Remember the movie Soul Man? Does the name C. Thomas Howell make you wet? The film Soul Man is about a man who undergoes racial transformation by taking tanning pills in very large dose to qualify for an African-American scholarship at Harvard Law School. I guess the main character learns valuable lessons and even "genuinely falls in love with" black student. Maybe that's why James Earl Jones signed on to join the cast. In addition to the trailer I leave you with 2 taglines used in advertising:

• He didn't give up. He got down.
• Mark needs a scholarship to get into Harvard. There's one more available for a black student. The problem is Mark's not black... YET.

A coworker just asked me if I knew what Salvia is. Ha! Idiot! I was all like, psh, yeah - that was all the rage when I was 11 you old fart! It reminded me of this which is pretty old now, but I still enjoy the shit out of it:

"Some Old Crotchety Indian Couple" - Flight of the Conchords

Flight of the Conchords Season 2 starts in January.

One of my favorite scenes on anything thathas scenes is from Episode 10 of the first season. The group gains 2 new fans and the guys go to Dave's (Arj Barker aka Arjun Singh) place to get some cool clothes. If you haven't already seen it, forward to 4:00 and watch it through to about 5:45. Actually fuck it, watch the whole thing:


Dave - No. That's just some old crotchety Indian couple I sub-let to. The weird thing is they look like me.

Maybe I think this is fucking hilarious because I live with my parents but come on.... AMAZING. And if that's not funny, how about the shirt with a mouse having sex with another mouse in a rat trap? Huh!?!

Also, in Hari Kondabolu's Manoj there's a great scene where Arj Barker's headshot is backstage and the club owner says "nobody tops Manoj, especially this guy" as he taps the photo. I posted it before but it's real good.

Fashion, Kind of: Wolf Shirt

This might look like a normal shirt but it has magic powers. Don't even think about buying it if you live in New York, my order's in. Read what others had to say:

Ol Tripod says... This shirt is excellent for pulling in husky Native American bitches with diabetes.

WOLFMAN!!! says... Thanks to your shirt, I now have 97, count em, 97 venereal diseases from every twat i've tapped since I bought your shirt. Even though I'm in a wheelchair and dripping with VD's, losing all my hair and my penis looks like something out of a sci-fi horror flick, my cum-stained wolf shirt still brings in the pussy.

Lil' Conner says... If only I had worn this shirt when my dad took us fishing, maybe mom and I would have made it to shore.

Picasso says... Some people may have you think I painted portraits of various things. My efforts were 100% devoted to painting wolf shirts and various legendary people wearing wolf shirts. I, myself owned several wolf shirts. I cut off my ear because all of my wolf shirts were in the wash and I was beyond frustrated.

Bill Brasky says... I bought this shirt based off of the reviews, and I must say, it is highly over-rated. Since owning this shirt I have had no dates. I've lost my job. My car has been repossessed, and my landlord is kicking me out unless I stop wearing wolf shirts. On the other hand, the stitching is nice, and it doesn't shrink in the wash. I give it two stars.

Humor: Goodness Gracious Me

Anyone that knows me is well aware of my affinity for TV and other forms of mindless entertainment. Wonder Showzen and Freaks and Geeks are probably my favorite American shows. Goodness Gracious Me is one of my favorite British shows. Because of the larger role South Asians play in British society they've had several TV shows devoted to South Asians that I haven't been able to watch, like Buddha of Suburbia based on Haneif Kureishi's probably awesome book I never read.

"Goodness Gracious Me is a BBC English language sketch comedy show originally on BBC Radio 4 and later televised on BBC Two (the radio series from 1996-1998 and the TV series from 1998-2001) based on four British Asian actors: Sanjeev Bhaskar, Kulvinder Ghir, Meera Syal and Nina Wadia. In the television version most of the "white" parts are played by Dave Lamb and Fiona Allen, while in the radio version the white parts were played by the cast themselves."

Meera Syal also wrote Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee, a title anyone with Indian parents can appreciate. While not the kind of literature fans of Jhumpa or Arundhati could appreciate, I loved the accessibility of a novel likek that. It was also turned into a miniseries on BBC I would have liked to watch.

Anyway, when I first walked into work this co-worker of mine asked me if he could call me HANK instead of HIMANSHU:

Humor: RateMyTurban.com + Mark Wahlberg

My boss put me on to RateMyTurban.Com the other day. Ahhhhh.. I'm finna rock a turban on Halloween I think. Doesn't dude look eerily like Jordan Fish in a turban?

Also, Steve put this up on I Smell Like Money but I think it's worth repeating here. (If you don't know I Smell Like Money peep that on the "Blogs I Fuck With" list on the right).


Wahlberg on the sketch: "Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure. And "Saturday Night Live" hasn't been funny for a long time. They've asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don't even know who's on the show now."
