Adding Three Bad Dudes to Gate Tower’s Current Two

(and this Tyler Durden print too)

There’s a large amount of nudity in Gate Tower. The good news (bad news?) is that only the walls are the things going full monty. Now, I’ve been here for over a year now aaaand… I’ve hung frat composites and a UK clock.  Accountants aren’t known for their home decor – only 1o key calculators and tendency to be precision tippers. Well, last night I came across 52 Bad Dudes and decided that this guy shares very similar interests, produces some quality prints, and it’s time to put up some art work in here. A new “bad dude” is posted every Friday and up for sale with limited edition prints at very affordable prices ($15-$20). I ordered the 3 prints mentioned above (Locke/Man in Black, Shadow of the Colossus’ Wanderer, and Tyler Durden), but the one I desperately wanted was out of print. JGL, for the fucking win.

And yes, I said two bad dudes at Gate Tower, not three…. shane

These hands snag Major League baseballs

Some fan at the Twins-Rangers game last night got a foul ball facial. This morning he is wondering how he could have better positioned himself to catch it. The answer: be Daddy.

LOST Auction finds Squirrel Baby a new home: Top 30 Items Sold

Let’s all just pretend that some other crazy LOST nerds haven’t put together an auction recap on some fansite. Sweet. I didn’t waste an hour spreadsheeting the auction totals then.

Out of the nearly 1200 items, I picked out the top 30 (only items over $5,000). Since 3 of them are cars and would obviously bring the most money, I’m listening them separately.

Motion typography gets your music video posted here

Especially when you’re CeeLo and you have a song as catchy as this one. It’s like a sing-along, but instead of a bouncy ball, a rapper is cursing at me.

He has pretentious Mac commercials, but I like the cut of his jib

Justin Long is a good guy. I imagine he’s kinda awkward at first, but once you get to know him, yada yada yada. He was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night and brought along his jailbroken iPhone. Geeks everywhere got moist when they found out the Mac Guy had a jailbroken iPhone. “One of us. One of usssss.” Like any good late-night host, Kimmel set Long up for an epic story. Now I would have posted this sooner, but Disney is a greedy bunch and pulled the better cuts of the interview from YouTube. Instead, here is the 3-part interview on Kimmel’s channel. Skip ahead to the 2:24 mark of the video below where the story begins. I’ll embed parts 2 and 3 after the jump. Short version: in these videos, Justin Long trolls a tween girl via text.

“It says I’m here to hit home runs, but I’m also here to party”

[Via Deadspin]

Just like a Sig party – we like to get formal but we also show up to party. Except we don’t ’round the bases’ as much… well, neither do the Legends.
