MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Greatness of Pizza

WHEN: Tonight, May 28, 8PM
WHERE: 3rd Ward, 195 Morgan Ave, Brooklyn
WHAT: A saucy night of dough tossing, documentaries, drinks, and DJs. “Stand by as the U.S. Pizza Team heads to the the World Pizza Championship in Italy, revel at dough tossing acrobatics, and gasp at pizza sabotage. Filmmaker Michael Dorian captures the laughs, the cries and the scandals that surround this provocative source of pleasure and nourishment.” Then throw some dough of your own. And did we mention that all this Pizza love is FREE. Yum.

Explosions and Boobs

Chocolate and peanut butter, Hall and Oats, wake and… well, you see where I’m headed here. Some things just go together. Explosions and boobs. It’s so obvious I can’t believe no one thought of it sooner (except Hollywood of course, those guys think of everything). Explosionsandboobs.com is a collection of perfect pairs. Reload the page for a never-ending stream. Never. Ending. How fun is that? My only beef? There needs to be some kind of answer key as I’m pretty sure I can identify at least half of the mammaries featured (thanks FHM).

FUN VIDEO: 2 Men Down

Been there, done that. Not really.

Pie In A Jar

Jar full of pie anyone? Instructables has the how-to. Apparently once you throw the lid on there you can toss ‘em in the freezer for later. Fun right? And far more sensible than a pockets full of cake.

HONORARY DOGGLER: Weezer

See the inset picture? That’s Rivers Cuomo in a Snuggie. Seems he’s obsessed. So much in fact that Weezer is – wait for it – releasing their own line of sleeved blankets called Wuggies. “A Wuggie is basically exactly like a Snuggie, except it says Weezer on it. The people at Snuggie are doing it with us and promoting it with us. It’s a totally legit Snuggie,” he told Rolling Stone. How fun is that?

QUICK: Spot All 50 Movies


The titles of 50 recent films are hidden in this painting Empire Magazine’s “Cryptic Canvas.” All the movies are from the past 20 years. Click over, scan around (it zooms in and out too) and see how many you can find. It’s fun. Be warned though, to get credit you’ve got to spell them perfectly (proper caps and hyphens). I got “Million-Dollar Baby” and now I’m hooked. Get at it.

BUCKYBALLS: New Shapes & Ideas

One of my favorite things to do when I’m bored these days, is hunting around YouTube (and elsewhere) to see all of the fun stuff people are doing with BuckyBalls. Today’s finds come courtesy of Vat 19.

Buckyballin’ might be my new favorite term. How fun is that?

FUN READ: This Is Not A Game


What happens when you decide to drop a novice into the middle of the 24-hour race in your Nissan 350Z race car…? Gran Turismo game designer Kazunori Yamauchi decided to find out. There’s no reset button here, no second chance, but it’s one hell of a read. If you’ve got a minute or three free, and thnk the smell of gas is fun, this goes on the “strongly recommended” list.

Play Clickiblock

Today’s game might be the simplest but most frantically frustrating yet. Simply click the blocks as the fall before they reach the bottom of the screen. Easy right? Have a go. Post your best score below. Step one, as always, is clicking the pic to get the game. Consider it a warm-up.
