Hurricane Chris at the Louisiana House of Representatives

Reposting this from today's dlisted

Where can I get an application for the Louisiana House of Representatives? Because if you're not taking naps while politicians discuss boring stuff, you're being entertained by the likes of Hurricane Chris!

Hurricane Chris was invited by the House to perform his song "Halle Berry (She's So Fine)." The only thing missing was a pair of nalga shakers in sequined gold coochie cutters working it on the desk! I was totally waiting for the hot bitch on the right to get out of her chair and start grinding it like her car payment is due.

This is how all government meetings should be. They should have to express their arguments through song. It would be like Cop Rock!

By the way, I've watched this 5 times and still have no clue as to why this happened in real life.

Hello.
I'm emailing you because one of my favorite people, Justin Van Hoy, (which
some of you may know) has been suffering and battling with Leukemia for
quite some time now. He has just been released from being in the hospital
for 3 months undergoing chemo for the 2nd time, radiation & a bone marrow
transplant. Justin, and his amazing wife Holly, are struggling
physically, mentally and financially. We are organizing events for them
to show our love and support all over the US, and we are organizing an
evening here in Los Angeles on Friday June 5th at the Poketo Studio in
downtown. We are going to have a silent art auction, which we would love
if you could donate a piece for.. I understand that this is extremely
short notice but if anyone can participate or forward this to other
artists who may be interested or to anyone that could help in any way that
would be amazing.

Justin is an amazing person and artist. For those of you who think you
don't know him, well you actually do, Justin has worked with Shepard
Fairey, was the art director of Swindle Magazine, he's worked with Roger
Gastman for several years on a variety of projects including book designs
to projects with Boost Mobile, he's worked on projects for DKNY, DIM MAK,
American Apparel, Threadless, worked on a bunch of stuff with Mark the
Cobra Snake and on and on and on...

Here are some links relating to Justin -

We are trying to surprise Justin & Holly with all this, so please don't
contact them about any of this, but please feel free to forward this
information to anyone you think would be able to help in some way. Please
contact Chris Bettig -helpjustin@themountainlabel.com or Ted &
Angie at Poketo - poketo@poketo.com to confirm your participation in the
auction or in any other way you could help.

Amazing New Species Discovered! Homo Reticulus Redonkuli!

Amazing New Species Discovered!

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on May 11, 2009

Friends, we stand at the threshold of evolutionary history, because the San Francisco Zoo has discovered the first-ever gorilla/giraffe hybrid! The Zoo has released this amazing photo of the baby “gorillaffe” (homo reticulus redonkuli), which should silence even the most doubtful skeptics, and you can see more on the Zoo’s Picasa pages.

(Thanks Niki!)
