I was able to capture the above image while on set for GSN’s new series, “Pile,” they are currently shooting.

I’m one of two hosts on the show and there are supposed to be no photographs on set, but seriously, how ridiculous is this show? I mean how low can you go?

Here’s the show blurb I copied the show bible. “Inspired by ‘Hands on a Hard Body,’ ‘Pile’ is an extreme race to the finish! Each week, Pile will present its contestants with a brand new heaping pile of rock, coal, bricks, wood, etc… The objective is to get to the center to uncover the prize. The first contestant to dig the prize out WINS! For the first episode we will bury a Sony 60″ LCD 1080p TV at the bottom of the 300 ton pile of coal [pictured above].”

Pile is set to debut in November 2010 on The Game Show Network (GSN). Gee can’t wait.

A) Lower interest rates while simultaneously cutting taxes.
B) Sell Nebraska and Iowa to Russia.
C) Start an enormous British pound counterfeit and laundering facility in a secret location in the middle of the country.
D) Sell all of our cats to china.
Or E) Buy Canada on an illegal bid on eBay and sell it to New Zealand at “half-price.”

If you think none of these will work, please recommend your own economic jump-start method. Thank you for your time and efforts. God Speed.

A man and his list. Short film coming soon.

This is it! I mean every time I jump in the pool, get in the shower, or relax in the hottub, the very FIRST thing I wanna do is make calls – well hot damn, now I can! And for only $1790. Thanks SkyMall.

Oh and the image really sells it. She looks so pissed!

Sharon: “Mike are you scuba diving again?”

Mike: “No?”

Sharon: “Ok, well make sure you’re home by 6, the Briddles are coming over for dinner and I need help with the tuna casserole!”

Mike: “No problem honey! Love you, see you soon.”

They hang up.

Mike: “Thanks SkyMall! Now I can scuba dive and nobody will know!”

What I’m wondering is where are the underwater cell phone towers? No matter.

Thanks for finding this Stanya Kahn.

This is a project I did with the infamous Sir John Hargrave of Zug. We actually went to Charlize Theron’s house, snuck in with the builder crews, and installed some celebrity gutters. She wasn’t there, but I’m sure she appreciates her new gutter guards.

For parts two and three (Charlize’s gutter install), visit http://bit.ly/celebritygutters_pt2 & http://bit.ly/celebritygutters_pt3

Alex Johnson and Babelgum crew made a cool doc about the Google Maps Road Trip Pete Baldes and I took. It’s nice and short and my eyes are really wide open for some reason.

Here’s their description of the vid:

“Whether it’s stretching 1500ft of extension cords from his kitchen to a park to make coffee for passers-by, spending a year dining with strangers across the US, or helping others run errands with the use of a mule to cheer them up, Marc Horowitz’s work revolves around culture jamming, social practice…and just making people feel good. When fan Peter Baldes approached him about doing a cross country road trip the two strangers decided to complete it virtually instead, driving all the way from LA to Virginia…on Google Maps, using the arrow keys to ‘drive’. With a host of ‘back-seat’ drivers joining them and a commitment to keeping close to reality the two toured the country for nine days. We join Marc and Peter as they take their project live for the first time in front of a real-life audience.”

These are some highlights from Pete and my virtual cross-country google maps road trip. To learn more about it visit the GMRT wiki, or scroll down and see the previous posts about it. The vid quality is so weird cause it was edited from .flv files off ustream.tv. sorry, this is the best it’s gonna be.

Hugs!

This is one of the more interesting and potentially lucrative spams I’ve received today. Curious, I replied and they responded almost immediately in very broken English:

“Corner broome renwick 11 tonowt. NYcety. Only Cash. Bring self only. We watch on you. Lies no. heartfelt to thanks. Leu.”

Since I don’t live in NYC, I asked my friend Eric if he wouldn’t mind going in my place. He agreed.

I guess it’s only a matter of time until I have some great handmade military ribbons. I could probably attach them to gifts, my shoes, maybe make magnets out of them. I’m sure I’ll find plenty of uses once I actually get them.

Thanks Eric!! I owe you one man!
