"A beach ball that was dropped and bounced around on Elm Street in downtown Dallas on Sunday.

It was all part of Carnival Cruise Lines' attempt to break a record for the world's largest beach ball.

According to Guiness the ball needed to be at least 10 meters in diameter and had to be made of real beach ball material."

Video/Music: Kanye talks about his upcoming album

Check out this brief interview with Kanye about his upcoming album.

Apparently there will be no rapping...all "singing". I gotta say, I was very unimpressed with the first single, "Love Lockdown".

And from what I can surmise after watching this interview, we can expect a bunch of the same. Original, stripped down beats (i.e. no sped-up classic R&B samples, which put him on the map as a producer) and an overabundance of the Auto-Tune/vocorder effect (which jumped the shark in rap/R&B just moments after "Lollipop" blew up).

Please do enjoy.

Vintage Preash: The Rawlings Family

During the Christmas breaks, whenever my buddies come over to our house in Sugar Land, they always leave saying, "Dude, your mom is awesome." Without fail, she insists on feeding us a huge 5- or 6-dish meal and making sure we get our fill of beer.

Last Christmas she stayed up late with us throwing out pre-created college football trivia questions (with prizes) and playing Rock Band. Watching her belt out "Naaaa-ture iiiiiis a whore" while singing Nirvana is quite a spectacle.

And chicks, after meeting her, always end up saying, "Awwww, I LOVE your mom! She's so cute!"

So, needless to say, my mom is the best. And my dad is great for a laugh, too.

Here are a few Preash moments with my parents.

Thursday, November 7, 2007 - 8:06 PM - My mom: A brief AIM convo

mom (7:00:03 PM): I sent a joke to our meterologist here that I love
mom (7:00:03 PM): she sent me a thank you
Ryan (7:01:28 PM): what was the joke
mom (7:01:49 PM): she was looking for knock knock jokes on Halloween
mom (7:01:54 PM): it was dumb
mom (7:01:58 PM): but she used it
mom (7:02:08 PM): Knock knock
mom (7:02:13 PM): whose there
mom (7:02:17 PM): Manuel
Ryan (7:02:22 PM): wait
mom (7:02:23 PM): Manuel who
Ryan (7:02:27 PM): lemme see if I can guess it
Ryan (7:03:01 PM): man, you'll be sorry if you don't give me some candy?
mom (7:03:09 PM): you looked it up
Ryan (7:03:11 PM): nope
Ryan (7:03:14 PM): is that it?
mom (7:03:17 PM): yes
Ryan (7:03:20 PM): damn I'm good
mom (7:03:26 PM): you looked it up
Ryan (7:03:30 PM): no I didn't
mom (7:03:31 PM): ok
mom (7:03:38 PM): how about
mom (7:03:49 PM): why did the skeleton refuse to fight
Ryan (7:04:00 PM): hrmm...
Ryan (7:04:29 PM): I give up
mom (7:04:40 PM): he didn't have the guts
Ryan (7:04:45 PM): nice


Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 8:29 PM - Preash: My mom is proud that I'm smarter than a 5th grader
My mom just called me up because she was watching one of her favorite "programs", Are You Smarter that a 5th Grader?, and needed reassurance that I, indeed, am.



She says, "OK, there's a frat dude on there with a bunch of his frat brothers and the question was, "The song 'America' starts as 'My country 'tis of thee...' What are the next 4 words?"

I answer, "Sweet land of liberty," after which she immediately belts out a hardy, Southern "WOOHOOOOOO!!!!"

"That college education paid off! The frat dude and all of his frat bros got it wrong," she exclaims, relieved.

After admitting I was a genius, she said, "You ARE a genius!" I could hear my dad, in the background, say, "You're a Rawlings." Us Rawlings folk love our U.S. of A., that's for damn sure.



With a tear in her eye, she happily let me return to watching Pageant Place, and she went back to her respective "program".

There's only one song that can due justice to the elated pride I'm feeling right now...

For some reason, this song always reminds me of America's Funniest Home Videos circa Bob Saget


Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - 12:33 PM - Preash: A weekend with my parents


My parents came to Charlotte and we drove to Charleston for the weekend. Here a few quick highlights/lowlights.

  • My dad making up words that don't need to be made up. Ex. "The entrance is over there...but where's the outrance."
  • My mom using the term "for shizzle" in regular conversation when we arrived at Arby's.
  • My dad constantly clearing his throat so loudly that it scares you.
  • My mom constantly sneezing so loudly that it scares you...and annoys passengers on the airplane (my dad said a guy turned around and gave her a look).
  • My mom now walks so slowly that it's literally an effort to walk with her...and stairs, forget about it.
  • 6 hours round trip to Charleston...in the car...with my parents. 6 hours.
  • My mom asking on 5 seperate occasions about my ex-girlfriend, how she's doing, if we'll ever date again, etc.
  • My dad incessantly adjusting my car A/C.
  • Meals. Giant, delicious meals.
  • My mom's impulse buy at the grocery store...American flag bandanas. And her returning them the next day.
  • Being teased by my dad for "getting all fancy" to go eat dinner...then being rejected by the restaurant because he was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt. "We actually don't allow gentlemen without sleeves."
  • My mom crying at dinner because she was "proud of the man" her son has become. She's good at that.

So anyway, it was a good time. Family is great...in moderation. Love you guys.


Note: My brother suggested that I take this down because "it's a little harsh" but I'm leaving it up A) Because it's not harsh at all and B) Because no parents have as good of a sense of humor as mine...they know it comes from a good place. Plus, my brother's a Nancy.

I was talked about on the news for like 20 seconds this morning.

Work Dave made a sign to try to get peeps to come to my going-away party. The morning team got a hold of it and featured at the end of the show today.

They praised my work. Now all of central Oklahoma knows when and where my going-away party is. No big deal.

Vintage Preash: Trouble with Upstairs Neighbors

Back when I lived in Oklahoma, a family moved into the apartment directly above mine. The two little kids in that family spent alot of time running and wrestling for hours at a time.

Here are my first series of rants on Preash...it began as a complaint and progressed into borderline stalking.


Thursday, October 18, 2007 - 12:45 PM - Complaint Box: take your damn kids outside

It's early fall in OKC. It's a sunny 65 or 70 degrees in the evenings. Perfect weather to be outside.

And the kids in the apartment above me are running around inside...every night...from 4 pm to 10 pm.

There used to be a young, single chick who lived above me. I never heard her. Seriously, never. Sometimes I even wondered if she had moved out. Well, she actually did a couple weeks ago. Now a single Indian mother and her 2 kids, a boy who's probably in 2nd grade and a girl who's probably in Kindergarten, have moved in. In a 700 sq. foot 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment. Holy shit.

The kids run around the apartment non-stop. Constant thuds from above. Sometimes stuff in my apartment vibrates. Last night I decided to fight fire with fire. I cranked up my stereo and turned the bass to the max. I think I got the point across. There was silence for about 20 minutes. Then it got crunk again.


"Let's eff with Ryan! Hooray!"

When I was a kid, my mom wouldn't even let my brother and I look at each other inside. As soon as we started to wrestle, she'd scream, "GO OUTSIIIIIDE!". So we would. When we started to wrestle on the lawn, she'd come out there and scream, "STOP IT! STOOOOOP IT!"

These kids need to go play outside. There's a playground in the apartment complex, for Christ's sake! Do something, crappy single mom!

I'll do the stereo bit a few more times, then I guess I'll have to be the snitch neighbor who complains to the management. I've always been on the receiving end of such complaints, never the giver.

Stay tuned!


Sunday, October 28, 2007 - 5:22 PM - Complaint Box: Update on the loud kids upstairs
Several days ago, I complained about the loud little kids in the 1-bedroom apartment above me who run around all day and all night.

Well, I had to snitch. I called apartment management and filed a complaint. Their running from one end of the apartment to the other was rattling my windows and shaking my ceiling. It got quiet for a while, and it hasn't been as bad overall. But they still go buck wild sometimes. It's then when I stand on a dining room chair and throw hammer fists against the ceiling. They usually get the point.


So I'm hoping that they've gotten the point for the most part. The best part is now, on the rare occasion that the kids are playing outside, they get scared when they see me. They saw me as I was leaving the apartment yesterday and immediately ran upstairs. Me mad-dogging them probably had something to do with it, too.



Saturday, November 24, 2007 - 10:06 PM - Preash: The destined confrontation finally goes down!
One of my very first posts to Preash was "Complaint Box: take your damn kids outside"



Basically, a family is living in the 1-bedroom apartment directly over me. Two little kids, a mom, and (from what I can surmise) the mom's father. The kids run around alot, and it is loud.

I made a formal complaint to the management a few months ago, and since then the noise has been a little bit better.

Tonight, the kids were getting extremely crunk. I banged on the ceiling once, to let them know it was bothersome. An hour later, it was still poppin' upstairs, so I banged again.


Hook 'em.

Then I heard their door open, and people walking downstairs. Oh shizzle, Mac 'bout to drizzle.

A knock. Of course Boone started barking, so I trapped him in the bedroom. Then I opened the door.

It was the mom and the grandfather. He was a short, almost bald Indian man with glasses, probably in his early 60's. She was probably about my height (she was standing on the 1st step, so who knows), with glasses. They were both very nice-looking.

Before I could even say hello, the grandpa pulled back and literally spit in my face.

No, actually he didn't, you dummy.

Grandpa said, very kindly and apologetically, "Sorry to bother, we heard a knocking from below...are we making too much noise or...?" His English wasn't that smooth, but I don't know how to approximate it without being offensive. Basically, he was speaking more with body language than he was with the English language.

I said, "Yes, that was me. I wanted to let you know that it was kinda loud up there..."

All parties, including myself, were very smiley and apologetic and understanding. Until I pulled out my glock.

Didn't fall for that one, huh?

They apologized and then the mom asked, "Is it the voices, or is it the children stomping?"

I said it definitely wasn't voices, it must have been the kids. (I was pulling the "Oh, I didn't know you had kids, I just thought y'all were some rambunctious motherf-ckers" card.)

She said she was sorry and that the kids are shut inside all day on account of the cold weather, and she tells them to "seet down, be quiet...but 5 meenoots later, they arr back up again".

I must reiterate, this was all very light and upbeat, and even a little happy.

So basically, they asked if they could give me the mom's number so I could call her directly whenever it got too loud again (btw - her name is Anuja. [ah-NOO-shah] I was very proud of myself for pronouncing it back to her just as she had said it...I hope they were, too.)

I took down her number and gave them mine. I said, "Here's my number, too. My name is Ryan...I know I probably turn up my stereo too loud from time to time." See, tit for tat.

Click to enlarge

As you can see, I was confused as to whose number would be written down first. Also, my pen hates y's.

In the end, we got to know each other better, commiserated about the cold weather/apartment life, and created a direct connection should problems ever arise in the future.

Also, I gotta give them props for having the balls to come down and confront the unknown, disgruntled neighbor. I would never have the chutzpah. I'd probably just seethe and cut myself to watch me bleed. (That's a joke, mom)

Baby, Anuja were the one from the day I metcha.

I found this picture via Google image search while trying to find a more suitable one. It may just be my favorite picture of all time, ever, until the end of time.

Tuesday, January 8, 2008 - 7:26 PM - Preash: Meet the F-ckers


Remember my whole saga with the Indian family of 3 (maybe 4) that lives upstairs and makes way too much noise? (It would benefit you to click here to refresh yourself on all of the characters named.)

Well, while I was sick and sitting around the house, I found myself in a Rear Window-ish mood. I heard Anuja and company going up and down the stairs over and over again and discovered they were moving furniture into their minivan.

I decided this would be a perfect opportunity to snap some candid pics so you Preash fans could put faces to names. Plus, did I mention I was stuck at home and bored and creepy?

So here you go! Click to enlarge.

Here's the little boy carrying on a chair on his head. He's the loudest one. It's good that they make him earn his keep.


Here, Anuja is adjusting the furniture so it will fit in her pimp-ass ride. If you look closely, you can see grandpa in the back of the van pretending he's Gollum in his Misty Mountains cave.


Here's some pics of Anuja and the grandfather figure loading the furniture.






And finally, the grandfather looking especially maniacal.


So is this what you expected them to look like? Neat.

Preash: 1 YEAR OLD!!!

Today, Preash is 1 year old.

On this day one year ago at 1:28 CST, Preash was born.

I want to thank the 4 or 5 of you devoted Preashers who wholly account for the nearly 300,000 page views since Preash's inception.



I started Preash partly out of wanting to share all the funny, stupid stuff I found online, on TV and elsewhere that other may (or often may not) enjoy...and partly out of vanity (hence the page hit counter at the bottom of the page).

As work and life have become busier for me over the last year, it has been brought to my attention that I have strayed away from the traditional humorous blogging and veered more towards just posting videos and stuff. While I still don't the time and resources to keep up with the weekly Preash features (e.g. Throwback Thursday), I have been trying to do more writing and will try to get back into sharing some of the funnier/more awkward run-ins from my personal life.



I think when I started to see the page hits go up, I started trying to appeal to the masses instead of remaining devoted to you peeps who were Preashin' from the get-go. I slowly came to the realization that any 'tard can just post videos and internet junk without adding any original content. It's this guy who makes the difference.

So anywho, that's something to look forward to.

I love to hear feedback, positive or negative, about what's working and what's not on Preash. So c'mon, assholes, post comments every now and then. You don't have to create an account or anything.



But again, thanks to all you Preashers, both those who just mindlessly ogle ("The Official Pop Culture Website of Adult ADD") and especially those of you who contribute by sharing crazy stuff I may not have seen or commenting.

To celebrate Preash's anniversary, I'm gonna re-post some of the best Preash posts of the last year. If you can think of any that stuck out in your mind and I forgot, please do share.

Video/Politix: Hayden Attempts Tongue-in-Cheek Humor, Curses

So about a week ago, Hay-Hay woke me up by gently rubbing my back and smiling as if she wanted something. Unfortunately, what she wanted was not the same thing I wanted.

"Babe," she said, "Do you think Emily (her manager) would be pissed if I did a sarcastic viral video for Funny or Die where I said 'f*ck' a few times? I mean, it'd be funny and topical, not just me cursing for no reason. You know, for change, babe."

I told her I was barely awake and would need get my brain going before giving her a well-thought-out answer.

As she cooked us breakfast, I pondered. "Why not?" I said. She let out a girly squeal, kissed me on the cheek, and ran out of the room with her iPhone.

What an angel. Little did she know that the only reason I said yes was because I felt guilty for no longer watching her show since no one ever dies anymore, so there are no real stakes for any of the characters.

Anyway, here it is.

The Workplace: Physical Activity = No , Deadly Addiction = Sure!

A few months ago, someone brought a hacky sack into work. Whenever we'd have a few free minutes here and there, Work Dave, Stevie 3-Times, myself and others would kick it around a little.

Our bosses have always been pretty cool about letting us take breaks to relax and have some fun, most likely because we are in a "creative" profession. And in order to remain creative, open-minded, free-thinking employees, we need a little play time. (I read a really good article about this topic once, but I can't find it. Bummer.)

Eventually we all got pretty good and began playing at the end of the work day. Come 5:00 pm, the table in the middle of the department was pushed to the side and hacky sackage commenced.



After a while, that progressed into playing at the end of our lunch break to burn off some calories and get the juices flowing.

But recently the hammer has come down.

Because the economy is sucking balls, the station is experiencing a hiring freeze. No new employees until there's more money. The only department that is currently completely full is ours. So all eyes are on us. Spiteful, hater eyes.

We had a department meeting on Monday and basic theme was, "Work more. The GM said that we've looked like we're having too much fun and haven't been busy enough lately. Be more professional."

So that kinda sucks, but it's understandable. It's a business, after all.

However, Stevie 3-Times helped me come to a realization yesterday. Being that several of our co-workers in the department are regular smokers, he said, "We'll just go out there with them and play during their smoke break."

Granted, he was kidding, but it made me think. How is it that four or five 10-minute breaks every day (on the clock) to feed an unhealthy addiction is permissible, but a few minutes of physical activity that also increases your hand-eye coordination and sparks your synapses is a no-no?

You would think that, as a big, faceless corporation that cares only about the bottom line and output, it would be preferable (read: profitable) to have healthy, energetic employees over hacking, stinky, addicted ones.



And, speaking more generally, who in their right mind smokes in this day and age? I mean, I'll rip one or two on an occassional boozy weekend. But to still be a regular smoker in the year 2008, you must either be really ballsy, really apathetic or just plain ignorant. Or perhaps a delicious combination of the three.

Dear smoker: You smell bad. Your breath smells worse. You're extremely selfish to make others dwell in your shit cloud. And, most importantly, don't you realize that people look down on you!? People literally think less of you because you're a smoker. Don't kid yourself, buddy, that's a fact. It's not '78 anymore, Steve McQueen.

But let me get off my high horse.



So I guess I'll just have to accept the current state of affairs. No hacky sack, but smoking's OK. Gay, but whatever. I blame the economy.

I guess one could point out that I'm writing this entire rant at work and give me a good, solid, "STFU." But why would you wanna do that?

The Workplace: Man in Box

I present to you my latest found art piece. It's called Man in Box.

It represents the repression and imprisonment of the modern working man within the walls of capitalism.

If you're not watching this season of The Ultimate Fighter, you're missing out. Like every other season, it's been quite entertaining.

Check out this scene from next week's episode as Junie, the bipolar, boozing lunatic, takes on pretty much everyone in the house. Good stuff.

Video/TV: Bill Maher on The View

Bill Maher was on The View yesterday morning promoting his upcoming movie Religulous (which I can't wait to see). Things got pretty heated considering that two of the hosts are conservative, religious nutcases. Entertaining television, to say the least.

The Internets: Levi's Jeans' "Unbutton Your Beast" Viral Campaign

So BestWeekEver.tv shared Levi's new viral campaign, "Unbutton Your Beast." And it's awesome.

Basically you choose which beast you want to voice, call a toll free number, put in the code it gives you, and record a message. Within seconds, you have your beast mouthing the words that you just recorded.

'.'.'.'.' A 4-Preasher! '.'.'.'.'

My first attempt turned out to be quite funny. I called the number and decided I'd just spontaneously make something up...but when Steve came by and gave me an inquisitive look as I was doing an odd voice on the phone, I could help but think about how funny it was going to come out to be. I then went into an uncontrollable laughing fit.

This is the result.


"LMAO."

This is one of the coolest things I've played with in a while. Click here to make your own. Have fun.
