thedailywhat: Debunked Rumor of the Day: Sorry Officeheads, that is not Steve Carell in a fake beard playing for the Queerenstein Bears in last week’s episode.  An NBC rep put the kibosh on the surprise cameo rumors, officially confirming to WaPo’s Celebritology that Carell was not seated among the extras during the trivia scene. No comment however on a possible future Carell cameo, but it will likely be a lot less subtle.  [avclub.] Meanwhile, NBC confirms that nobody cares whether or not that’s the lead singer of Smash Mouth in the purple shirt.

I received sketches from an Architect and a Contractor this afternoon. Bet you can’t guess which is which. Bonus: Can you guess which was done on an Apple product?

America's Pub is out of Westport

I’ll always reflect fondly on my experiences during the heyday of America’s Pub. Like the time I looked down the barrel of a cop’s gun as he pointed it at someone directly behind me. Or the time I heard someone unload an assault rifle on a car in the parking lot across the street as I ordered a gyro from a food truck. Or the fact that these two occurrences happened on back-to-back nights.

Fun with renderings

Kansas State recently released renderings for the renovation of their football stadium (not done by my company). One of my favorite things to do when looking at renderings is finding people that are repeated and/or out of place. Since render libraries don’t typically have people dressed for sporting events, the images get peppered with a few pictures of design firm employees dressed in team apparel. Below are a few of my observations.

Image “A”

  1. Q: Why is she standing like that? A: So you can see the Power Cat on her ass.
  2. This girl looks lonely. Her grandmother saw this picture and told her to stand up straight.
  3. Look, it’s three people in cowboy boots. Can you say “land grant university”? Also, who wears backpacks to football games?
  4. Cargo shorts and a neck beard. What is he pointing at?
  5. Power Cat, walking away.

Image “B”

  1. Hark! It’s the goat ropers! Dude lost his backpack though. Unfortunate.
  2. Why do those smiling young people with no legs look like they are modeling T-shirts for an online store? Because they are.
  3. Power Cat, leaving the scene of a crime.

Image “C”

  1. Power Cat, walking towards.
  2. Three Amigos.
  3. Lonely girl.
  4. Ass logo.
  5. From the “old guys in suits sitting with their legs crossed” library.

Image “D”

  1. K-State fans wear suits to football games. And cross their legs a lot.
  2. Posing for a picture for an invisible photographer… or a stolen facebook profile picture.
  3. Cargo shorts, neck beard, and still pointing. $100 says he’s an intern.
  4. (Pretend there is a “4” pointing at the guy in the lower right) Shorts with black athletic socks pulled up to mid-shin… yep he’s from Manhattan.

adultlifetaketwo: This deserves a sigh and a headshake. I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR! Klosterman does a much better job of summarizing my feelings towards this story here (although I don’t Do the Dew; I’m a Pepsi guy). In sum, “Fuck you, Ronald Ball. Maybe liquefied mice are delicious?”
