WHEN: June 25th (tomorrow) from 6-10PM
WHERE: Brooklyn’s Gowanus Studio Space, 166 7th Street
WHAT: This is the suerbowl of jigglers. Watch the video. Watch your jaw drop. It’s too late to register to compete, but just $8 to attend the big show. See you there.

WHEN: July 13th, 7PM-Midnight
WHERE: NYC’s McFadden’s, 800 Second Ave.
WHAT: A chance to land a hot date, find out what you’re worth, and give to good cause all at once. “Use your charm, good looks and contacts to put together a great date package that someone would love to bid on (value $150+). Dinner and a show, sporting/concert event, zip lining, tickets to the gun show – whatever you and your date would enjoy doing that will help raise money… Insider tip – chicks do great when their dates are paired with interesting dates geared toward guys (i.e. a day with a golf pro). On the flipside, guys sell great when paired with dates geared toward chicks (i.e. a day at the spa).” All proceeds are going to One Love Generation, a non-profit that empowers youth to inspire positive social change through art, service and awareness. Good times, right?
Want to get auctioned (word is they’ve got loads more girls signed-up than guys; gotta like them odds), Send 2-4 horizontal, hi-res photos (that means long ways, minimum of 100kb in size), 4-6 fun facts about yourself, and a song for you to be intro’d to by Wednesday, June 29. Complete details after the jump.

WHEN: July 10, 2011, 3-7pm
WHERE:McCarren Park, Brooklyn
WHAT:It’s hard to say exactly… the finals of a build-competition spectacle sounds about right. I’ve never seen anything like this and certainly not in my own back yard. Watch the video for details, click the link for more, see you there this weekend. Yup.

Brace yourself, Instructables has the how-to you’ve waited a lifetime for… Cadbury Eggs Decoded! Ready for the shocker? It seems to be blindingly easy. Especially if you’re not married to the mold. Have a go. Let us know how it turns out.

WHEN: From now until Jan 16th
WHERE: NYC’s Clic Gallery, 255 Centre St
WHAT: Remember Philippe Petit, the Man On A Wire who walked a tightrope, strung in secret and without permit, between the World Trade Center towers? He recently taught an tightroping Master Class at the Streb Lab in Brooklyn. Photographer Victoria Dearing was on hand, shooting from the shadows. This show combines her shots and his drawings. How fun is that?

WHEN: From now until Feb 28th, 10AM – Midnight
WHERE: Right out front of NYC’s Standard Hotel, 848 Washington Street
WHAT: An ice-skating rink. An honest to goodness sheet of ice for you to enjoy right in the Meatpacking district. Take a spin cool spin before heading inside to hotspot Le Bain. Better yet, don’t head inside; Gleefully glide back and forth showing everyone on the other side of the velvet rope just what fun looks like. Yup.

It’s the first snow day of the season… at least in New York City it is. If you can make it out your door, you might as well make your way to one of the one of the 13 kick-ass hills listed after the jump and do your thing.
Side note: The picture above creeps me out too, but Google let me down in my search for decent pictures of grown-ups on sleds. Hopefully after today that changes.

URDB just released their list of the top 11 records set in 2010 as voted on by URDB staffers and URDB community. It’s a fairly increadible list. Check the whole shebang, including links to pictures and videos, after the jump. Thems of you with an eye for detail will also notice a nod to yours truly. Fun, right?
Next year’s going to be a big one… I can feel it. My personal goal: 24 records including one that makes the 2011 list. Who’s with me?

Congrats to Darius Monsef IV, founder of COLOURLovers and friend from way back, on his recent nuptials. To commemorate the occasion, Ma Monsef baked a 60 layer rainbow cake that stretched all the way across the table. How fun is that?

10 words I find fun: kerfuffle, whippersnapper, nipple, discombobulated, grommet, condiments, spork, floozy, boa, and dogapult ... more »
Pick up someone else's camera.
Let your face get completely slack.
Shake hard.
Flash.
Wait for it to be found.
Smile.
The next time someone picks you up in their car - say a friend or family member - climb in the back, right-hand seat, leaving the front passenger seat empty. With a straight face, tell 'em where to. It's a little game I call "Chauffeur." Fun.
Write the letters "B" and "R" on a one-dollar bill. Tuck your boner anywhere you please. Pull it out when least expected for maximum effect.
For this one, you need to be in the back of a car.
And you can't be the only one there.
first, let your body go limp (it helps to imagine you've actually got no bones).
Next, undo you're seatbelt.
Now play Jello.
The fun starts midway through the first turn one.
On a hot day, few things beat "stinky ice cream":
While eating with a friend, ask if their's smells funny too.
When they go in for a whiff, give the old elbow a little bump.
Not too hard, just enough to powder their nose.
