Video: New Harvard Sailing Team Videos!

It'd been a while since the sketch comedy troupe Harvard Sailing Team put out a new video. But now they're back to it. So LOLs all around!

By Popular Demand: Dog Attacks Police Car and Scarface School Play

As frequent Preashers may notice, a lot of what I post here depends upon my mood. If I'm feeling especially silly you may see a flurry of stupid, nonsensical, mindless pics, animated gifs, and videos. (I believe the 'nets call them WTheFs.) If I have a case of the grumpgrumps, I'm more likely to be critical of what I see and second-guess posting certain things. And if I'm busy, you get nothing.

I guess that's the down side to frequenting a blog that's run by one dude and one dude only. If you're entertained by even a fraction of what you see on Preash, you're likely to come back because you can be pretty sure that type of stuff is what you'll see next time. But there are times when something good may slip through the cracks due to something as simple as Ryan has diarrhea. (See what I did there?)

And when enough people email me, suggesting I put a certain video (that I've seen but haven't posted) on Preash, it tells me that I've let one get away.

So here's how we fix that: By Popular Demand. I don't expect it to be too common an ocurrence. But if I've passed on something the first time for whatever reason and a Preasher or Preashers convince me that I let diarrhea grumpgrumps get in the way, I'll post it By Popular Demand.

Fear not, though, skeptics. Most of the stuff I purposely leave off Preash - stuff that I am very much against; stuff that incites swabchills - will stay off. Blatant viral marketing - no. Unfunny, easy ripoffs sold as "parody" - no. And these - God no. Assholes. I am still the filter, after all.

So now that you've trudged through my Preash ideology, I present to you, by popular demand, dog attacks police car and Scarface school play.

This dog's name is Winston, btw.

My favorite Taco Bell item, the Grilled Stuft Burrito, tops the list in the sodium category. Ouch. A blatant oversight, though - Jack in the Box's Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger, at 937 calories at 1837 mg of sodium, didn't make the list.

Video: Kids Peg Cars with Waterballoons



My junior year of college, my roommates and I lived in a 2nd floor apartment just off campus. For a few glorious weeks, we would drop waterballoons on passing cars coeds who were all dressed up and walking through West Campus to get to various parties. There were some trees right next to the sidewalk so, if we didn't feel like trying to directly hit passersby, we could just hit the tree over their heads and give them their own personal rainshower.

Then a high school buddy came to town. THAT high school buddy. He refused to let up on the waterballooning because he didn't give a shit about the repurcussions. Eventually he hit the wrong people. A couple of guys from the Asian fraternity next door and their ladies. They were livid. They demanded we show ourselves. They threatened to kill us. All over some moist clothes.

We got inside just in time, as they started pelting the sliding glass door with rocks. It sounded like a war zone. Luckily the door held. We forgot about it a few days later and all left for spring break. When he got back, everything on the patio was gone.

A couple of nice chairs. A decent keg shell. A mini grill. Gone. They must have gotten a latter ladder and climbed up there. Luckily, this was one of the few times we actually locked that sliding glass door or else I'm sure they would've let themselves inside and ransacked the place. I still don't understand how they were able to climb up a latter to the second floor of a busy apartment building in one of the busiest areas near campus without being noticed, but they did. As I recall, that was more or less the end of our waterballooning days. But it was fun while it lasted.

(Just thought I'd share that story since I got a complaint that I haven't really "blogged" in a long time. Some people actually want to read stuff I write. Go figure.)

Video/TV/Sports: ESPN NCAA Tournament Bracket Commercial

The "DICKIE V. BRACKET, BABY!" part was especially funny to me because Work Dave had no shame in telling everyone that he just copied Dick Vitale's bracket today. That is, after he had to ask me who the "loud, crazy announcer guy" was to look it up.

This is one dude, doubled. I think he used clever lighting, web programs and a pulley system to make it appear as if there is two of him.

Music Video: Kid Cudi feat. MGMT and Ratatat - "Pursuit of Happiness"

The original video for Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" was nothing special. There seemed to be a pretty big disconnect between the spirit of the song and the video itself. Whoever's responsible would probably chalk it up to an attempt at irony. I don't know that I'm buying that.

This recently released alternate video does a lot better job of visually translating the theme of the song, in my opinion. You can tell a lot of time went into the planning, blocking and camera work. Amazing optical illusions reminiscent of techniques Gondry used for Lucas' "Lucas with the Lid Off" video. It almost comes off like an anti-drug PSA, except cooler. Plus we all know Cudi wouldn't promote abstaining from drugs.

(I'm sure you want to skip over this because you figure, "Really how artistic can a rap video be these days?" But trust me, gramps. Give it a gander.)

Update: Fixed.

Video/TV: Full Unedited - Ronnie's Brawl on the Boardwalk



Watch!

"TMZ has obtained the raw footage of the "Jersey Shore" board walk brawl that a couple claims was edited to make them look like the aggressors and not Ronnie and Sammi ... but after watching it, we're still not sure who's to blame. [JT] and [KP] claim the footage -- which they submitted as an exhibit in the lawsuit they filed against MTV -- proves the network and the "Jersey" producers diced up the tape in a way that was "inconsistent with what really took place."
I don't think this video helps the other couple's case at all. Both the dude and the chick keep walking towards Ronnie the whole time. I like the disembodied voice at the end - "I think they're fighting!"

- I noticed the portly, bespectacled girl said something to her friend, the girl who is ready to wiggle it ("yeaah"). I went back a second time to figure out what she was mouthing, not realizing that a simple guess would have been right anyway. "It's hot."

- The Technical Director's cheap meth starts kicking in around the 2:13 mark.

- Of course they cut to the one black couple in the place when Tony! Toni! Tone! starts pumpin'.

- Lady in blue at 5:08 went straight to Scandals when her shift at JC Penny was over. No time to go home and change when Dino Papastratis is DJing!

- 5:58 - Jesus, get some air conditioning up in that piece already.

- Lady in grey behind The Storm at 6:03 is a real good time, if you know what I mean.

- 6:28 - Our friend is back. Probably saying she doesn't like this song anyway.

- Multi-colored overalls at 6:50!

- Our girl in grey isn't wearing shoes. Told ya. She gets down for her crown.
