Upside down Jay’s room

Remember Upside Down Cubicle, where people (e.g. Wolfson, Courtney, and Luke) turn everything in another person’s (e.g. my) cubicle upside down? Monitors, desks, books, cups full of pens, posters, calendars, etc. Well, DP was visiting D.C. last weekend and stayed at Jay’s place where Laura and I picked him up to go sightseeing. Jay had to meet someone for lunch. We were alone in his house (except for his two roomates who joined in our shenanigans). We played Upside Down Jay’s Room. We had a good laugh. We took some pictures.

Jay’s only response come Monday: “My revenge will be swift and furious.”

I am scared.

In related news, I am pretty excited for the day when DP becomes the first Jewish president and we get to play Upside Down White House (and also change all the switch plates*).

* We used to bring a new switch plate (the kind that go in kids’ rooms) and install it each time we went to his house.

Fearmongers Don’t Like Hair Styles of the 70’s and 80’s

Love these guys! Actually, this is somewhat ironic. On one hand They (Fox News) try to scare us and on the other They (Cartoon Network) try to sell us. Somewhere along the way Their plans collided and emptied Boston.

And what of us plebeians? We’ve grown so immune and impervious to marketing that add campaigns have to resort to these types of gorilla stunts just to get our attention. In stark contrast, we’ve become so utterly hyper sensitive to terrorist attack that we evacuated a city over some trivially obvious and meaningless publicity stunt.

Are we merely aimless bipolar consumers caught in the cross-fire between fear-mongering and marketing spam? What to do!? What to do!? Should I remain glued to the TV in sensational alarm or be drawn to it by stupid humor?

Perhaps, Off is the best channel or a good DVR with fast-forward or even better YouTube and an iPod. Dammit! I guess They still have me.

Get more background on the Laughing Squid.
