Probably the funniest book ever

Read this book. It's titled "Mountain Man Dance Moves, The McSweeny's Book of Lists." I made a scene in the bookstore as I laughed out loud while reading it. Also, it has a unicorn on the cover, which you might think is cool.

It's from the people at McSweeny's, who are hilarious.

Here's a couple of lists from the book:

Logo Redesign

The Washington Capitals redesigned their logo recently, and moved to a version very similar to their old school logo.

I loved their old logo with just the type and the stick for the "T" so I'm happy to see them going back to their heritage. Although I kind of liked the interim one with the Capital rotunda.

My problem with the new one is that the lettering seems awkward. The "A" seems oddly condensed, while the "P" seems way too big. It all seems a little disjointed, but I do love the simplicity of it.

I'm curious to hear the Reverend Action Jackson's thoughts on the logo, since he's a big Caps fan as well as a designer.

It is the distant future...the year 2000.

I saw some dude cruising down 6th Street on his Segway tonight, so I thought a post about the future was in order.

Believe it or not, they still make Segways, even though you never see anyone on them, ever (Except for the city of Chicago, which bought a bunch for their cops to ride around on...and Gob Bluth in one of the funniest shows ever, Arrested Development).

Anyway, this guy looked pretty ridiculous on his Segway, but I guess I need to start getting used to this crazy futuristic world we live in.

Also, the video above is from the new HBO show "Flight of the Conchords." Sunday nights at 10:30. It's hilarious, check it out.

Anarchy at GABP!

The grounds crew had some trouble getting the tarp on.

The Reds were losing 7-3 in the 8th inning when the skies opened up and about 16 inches of rain fell in about 4 minutes (these numbers are approximate). A few of the highlights:

• Some old guy's hat blew off the top of his head, and I think ended up somewhere near Batavia.

• People were running for cover and screaming like Godzilla was coming. They were totally freaking out because they got a little wet.

• A member of the grounds crew was dragged about 30 feet by the tarp when the wind kicked up. Kudos to him for holding on, it was pretty sweet to watch.

Moving takes forever.

Almost done unpacking (one week later).

Mobile blogging...finally.

The bobbleheads have moved in.
