Hamsterdam Sings About Birds, Not B**ches

Print[EDIT: Day two of this Hamsterdam. Feel free to go wild if you're home on this Valentine's Day. But seriously, don't click on MikJones24's Slamball link. I'm dead serious. Don't do it.]
In one of the random tangents that BHGP seems to foster so well, one of the commenters made a disparaging comment about English rappers (looking it up, that appears to be WaterlooChazz), and I'm here to defend a genre I apparently like quite well. The Hamdam title is actually a bastardization of a lyric from a song by The Streets comparing English rap to American (an entirely different and interesting topic that I won't go after right now), but I actually want to discuss and introduce Jamie T.
Jamie T is famous for doing pretty much all parts of the album himself in his basement, including the final mix, being slightly odd during the whole process, but making amazing, varied music. He's basically the British Beck. So here he is in all his weird and wonderful glory. But be careful: If you can get past the first 35 seconds or so of weird intro and get to the music and hook, you may end up hopelessly addicted to Jamie T like I am:
Calm Down Dearest - Jamie T. (via wesintx)

I'm going to just steal and re-post the most Hamsterdam link of all time
Quoth commenter YouCanPutYourEddsInIt (great name by the way):
Piggyback Bandit approves this post
http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2012/02/sherwin_shayegan_piggyback_bandit_in_minnesota.php
I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.
second paragraph of the article:
Shayegan, 28, likes to show up at high school sporting events and jump on the players’ backs. He is not shy about this — his Facebook page asks you to “Give me a piggyback ride!” (It also says Sherwin wants to meet “good looking boys. Preferably at libraries when no one else is around.”)

Personally I preferred the third paragraph
In other words, he is one of the creepiest mofos you will ever meet. So creepy that mere reports of his presence in the state were enough for the Minnesota State High School League to ban him from attending high school sporting events.
Thanks, but I really would like to change my name someday...
..I wonder if “Piggyback Bandit” is available?

I saw Dane Cook live a couple weeks ago
I had randomly attended a Tuesday night Laugh Factory show, and they announced early on that Dane would be coming out at the end to work on his new material. Sitting in the front seat, I gave an audible “Ah Fuck” that ended up in a silent part and made the presenter not able to hold back a huge grin.

Shouldn't be an issue. There are some small hills, but a quick cut thru the arena commuter lot cuts it to 10 minutes, at most.
It’s been a little more than a year since we went, but megapregnant wife made the walk on consecutive days for a wrestling/basketball weekend.
Of course, I have a pretty terrible gauge for child’s development stages. In my mind a 6 y/o is a fairly capable small person, so I may be overestimating the distance walking talents of a kindergartener.

I do the Newton Rd ramp because they keep their usual rates during games
and I’m a cheapskate. 3 hours will cost you $2.85. It’s also about half a mile away-maybe a bit further than the Finkbine lot. There is no traffic cop there, but it’s usually really easy to leave because not too many people park over there. If making a left onto Newton is slow, you can always go right, back towards the arena, then right onto Woolf (just past the VA hospital), which goes over Highway 6 and eventually comes out in the art campus, so you can go towards Hancher and get out to the interstate on Dubuque St. There’s probably a way to cut through the VA parking and come out right on Highway 6 too.
(It’s in the upper-right of this map.)
The ramp can be a little confusing because there is a section of meters and permit parking at street level. To get to the public non-metered parking you have to take the little driveway that dips below grade

My wife’s birth mother is in hospice, we were there a week ago and started watching this movie with here. We couldn’t finish. It’s really terrible to think that Ashton Kutcher’s character was most believable and likeable.

Can't play the first iteration on PS3

by KilometersDavis on Feb 14, 2012 9:14 PM CST up reply actions
I have ME1 and 2 on xbox and ME2 on ps3.
Mostly because I was interested in comparing the two platforms with respect to ME2 and how they handled the lack of a save file from ME1. I thought the little comic book thing was a clever way to work around that.

Yeah, it certainly felt like they integrated the story pretty well with the comic thing.
Also, I’d highly recommend giving Skyrim a try. In some of the October-ish threads I think you were with me in being uninterested in the whole “elves & wizards” thing. I still don’t have much interest in that angle, but the game is just too amazing . It’s almost worth the pricetag to just wander around with a bow & arrows.

I'm pretty sure you can get through ME2 in like 6-8 hours if you don't do side quests.

Aren't the side quests incredibly important to Mass Effect, though?

I didn’t play the first one and only played about 5 hours or so of the second. Really enjoyed it, but the wife isn’t a huge fan of watching me play and the current TV situation doesn’t allow me the opportunity to play anywhere outside of the living room so I never bothered buying it.

I always think he looks pretty wooden during the onstage bits

There are times when he makes me laugh
but overall I don’t think he’s that funny. I also don’t care for his race-based jokes; rather than being insightful, they’re just plain racist most of the time.

I don't think he lucked into a hosting gig.
I’m no sure there are many stand-ups that luck into big time gigs. I’ll agree that the TV show isn’t great, but his bread and butter is stand-up, and he’s good there.
If you enjoy stand-up, give Completely Serious a shot. I liked it a bit more than Happy Thoughts. However, if you’re someone that is offended by jokes then Tosh isn’t ever going to be funny to you.

I admittedly haven't seen his stand-up, so maybe I'll give it a shot.
I wouldn’t say I’m offended easily, but I just think a lot of his racial humor on Tosh.0 is lazy rather than insightful.

I can understand people thinking he's terrible if they've seen only his show.
I don’t watch because I’m not a huge fan of watching people throw up and the videos/memes that they use are usually far too old to be funny anymore.
I’d definitely recommend his stand-up, though. I’m sure you can find a good portion of it on YouTube anyway.

Louis CK is the best comedian on the planet right now.
I listed a few of my favorite comedians earlier in this thread, but other comedians worth checking out are guys like Anthony Jeselnik or Moshe Kasher. Some nerdy types like Chris Hardwick, but I can’t really get into it.
Tig Notaro’s last appearance on Conan was great. I probably watched it 3 or 4 times in a row. She’s great.

My diet isn’t too bad, and I’m lucky enough to have always been naturally pretty thin. If I could get off the cigs I think I’d be okay health-wise for a man of my age.
Diet problems seem like they would be hard to change since it’s not like you can just stop eating altogether, and when your body is used to having things a certain way it really fights against doing anything differently.

I'm starting a friendly weight-loss competition tomorrow with a buddy of mine.
We did this last year and it went pretty well; I lost about 30 pounds but then I had to have surgery and got sidetracked.
I’m pretty much in the same boat though; I gotta make changes because my genetics aren’t on my side. I’m well-read enough about nutrition to know I eat a shitty diet and what simple changes I could make to start turning things around. Starting and avoiding getting sidetracked are the two toughest things about change, though. I know I’ll feel so much better if I just go work out, but even then it’s hard to get myself to actually do it. Once the momentum gets going and I feel good about my workouts, I have incentive to eat better.

I've had some pretty easy chances to start a good diet and at least a little exercise.
As an educator, my summers would be a good time to start. January 1st was a good time to start. The beginning of Lent next week would be a good time to start. I just need to do it.
Maybe I’ll start next week. I could pretty easily start by just eating more fruits and veggies (instead of fatty foods) and cutting down on my soda intake.

I'm conflicted.
Jaws seems like a good guy, and is knowledgeable. But, he doesn’t really hold my attention.
For some reason, Gruden does, but he’s much more repetitive.
I think, sometimes, the ESPN guys are a bit afraid to be the football-Tim-McCarver. It’s okay to question or even put some guys (coaches or players) on blast a bit more often.
To me, I feel ESPN is approaching an exorbitant amount with their NFL programming. I haven’t even watched that NFL All 32 show. Nor that panel show (Audibles?). Also, I think they had expanded some of their other shows this year.
