Dressed for all occasions.</p></div>
<p>Hey again! After a long hiatus, I&#8217;m back. Let&#8217;s see how this goes..</p>
<p>So, you woke up this morning, you reek of day-old Axe body spray, there&#8217;s a half eaten bagel bite face-down on the sheets, but you had a fucking awesome time with your bro&#8217;s last night, so that&#8217;s all that matters anyway&#8230;right?!</p>
<p>You turn on the news and see its going to be an unseasonably warm December day. Wow, what a treat! I mean, days like this only come like, 5 months out of the year. But hey, summer is over, and you haven&#8217;t quite gotten around to putting those cargo shorts away for the long winter. You knew this day would come, you just fucking knew it would.</p>
<p>That day where you could say &#8220;fuck it&#8221; to the world. Throw your middle finger at every rational thinking human being who dressed appropriate today, because after all, summers still aren&#8217;t 40 degrees in the early-morning/late-evening hours. But hey, you make the rules, and who gives a shit about rules.</p>
<p>Yes, that&#8217;s right. Spray another layer of Axe, pull out those wrinkly khaki cargo shorts that you haven&#8217;t worn since that &#8220;sick&#8221; Skrillex concert, spray some wrinkle-reducer on your finest plaid and/or Polo shirt, throw on a respectable backwards cap of some school that you&#8217;ve probably never even set foot on, and you are ready to make some females tremble in their pants from excitement! Nothing says &#8220;I&#8217;m dressed for any occasion&#8221;, quite like you.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m not the most fashionable male out there, I do recognize the absurdity of bro-fashion. You can spot them a mile away in the summer, and in the right conditions, from 10 miles away in the winter. Nothing screams &#8220;douche&#8221; more than cargo shorts and a plaid/Polo shirt (not even people who imitate/idolize the Jersey Shore characters), but especially in the fucking winter.</p>
<p>This type of fashion can only be described as the &#8220;Pittsburgh Male Syndrome&#8221;. I coined this term after several years of intense research while traveling to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or I as presume, &#8220;The Bro Capital of the US&#8221;. Every knuckle-dragging, Miller Lite guzzling, mouthbreating, Big Ben supporting &#8220;Yinzer&#8221; follows this universal code for fashion: Cargo + Plaid (or Polo) = Sex(?) I&#8217;m still trying to figure out the solution, hence the question mark. Is it simply lazy fashion, or have people devolved into some kind of disgusting light beer swigging race of useless breeders hellbent on reproducing an entire race of jackass primates and Steelers fans? I hope not..</p>
<p>In conclusion, I know it is hard to resist the urge to dust off the cargo&#8217;s during an Indian Summer, but just don&#8217;t do it. Go back to wearing visors or backwards pants some other god-awful mindless trend. Not even Leonardo DiCaprio can make that style look good. So do us all a favor and just fucking dress warm in December, you douchers. Otherwise, people will think you&#8217;re from Pittsburgh or something..</p>

<p>Cargo shorts are leaving us. Actually, they’re done. There have been many fads for the generation that is now in their twenties, but none lasted as long as the cargo short. Others sprouted up but faded away much quicker. The mid to late 90’s brought the baggy jeans era, from 2000 to about 2005 was the era where all of us sported the brand of our clothing directly on our shirts as if it were a statement (Aeropostale, Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister). Baggy Jeans came and went quickly in the late 1990s but left in its wake a trail of loosely fitted pants for years to come. Thankfully, hipsters have helped shift the pant fitting paradigm towards the tighter side, placing us in a time where pants fit appropriately. If you threw out all dignity and embraced the market of ripped jeans, then I have no respect for you. Ripped jeans are a balmy abomination of taste, and not so much a trend as a national regret on par with <em>Saved By The Bell: The New Class</em>. No trend will make us cringe more in 15 years than purposely ripped jeans. Things like skinny jeans, flannel, and polo shirts will go out of style again but then come back into style and our kids will be fawning over how cool we looked back then. But ripped jeans can never stay cool and will never stay cool, no matter what. It may again be cool again sometime in the future to wear brand names on shirts, even if ironically so, like what we see in hipsters. By the way, if you wanted to make a nice argument at a party, you could argue that wearing brands on casual apparel is a true sign of the extremes of consumer culture. We bought shirts with the brand name prominently displayed on it (think <em>Idiocracy)</em>, then wore it, and then we were convinced it was cool! That’s <em>Clockwork Orange </em>manipulation.</p>
<p>Throughout it all, cargo shorts have remained constant. Always the standard bearer of laid back, the Cassius Clay of casual, these pocketed clothing chameleons successfully bridged your adolescent life and your adult life.  Since about the year 2000 cargo shorts have maintained some sort of stylistic relevance.  Shia Laboeuf’s entire acting career has been within the millennial Cargo short era. Look at a picture of yourself circa 2002 and you’ll find you or one of your squad dressed in a pair of these over-pocketed parachutes. They were perfect, weight neutral and with the ability to carry so many things, and let us not forget, stylish at the same time. All types of people wore them: preps, athletes, gothic, metal underworld, oversexed nerds, undersexed nerds, dudes/ladies without a crowd, lesbians and even those simply unwilling to part with the traditional short-alternative, the jean short. The cargo short, made out of khaki material, could confidently be embraced by jean-short-wearing skeptics. The haters were silenced when test after test showed that the cargo short waistline was substantial enough to support a clip-on walkman. But it’s over now, and if you are saying it isn’t, then get yourself out of the Pac Sun outlet you are currently in.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 497px"><a href="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/261812_10150308062323760_8301611_n.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image" src="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/261812_10150308062323760_8301611_n.jpg?w=487" alt="Image" width="487" height="323" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tim in cargo shorts circa 2011</p></div>
<p>Cargos were the ultimate beer/beverage transporter for Gen Y. While other generations before us had a very lax police presence that yielded their reckless behavior, for us the cargo short was our way of circumventing a domineering police state bent on ruining all types of poor decisions that are crucial to any child’s upbringing. Because our parents fucked it up for us by laughing at the very unfunny (yea, I said it) Cheech and Chong and getting high and naked and then covering themselves in mud at a concert and then romanticizing it later, our generation had to suffer the consequences. Whether it’s our parents’ fault or not, we still had to deal with the repercussions and guess what? We handled it the best. The greatest generation of World War II would have just lamented the situation and wrote to “a girl back home,” which, by the way, is uncomfortably someone’s current grandma. The Vietnam Era would have just burned their driver’s license and told us to fuck off. While those who were teenagers in the 80s were too busy writing the nerd-gets-the-girl plotline that has infected every movie since 1995.  But we, Generation Y, having no other way to have fun because our Mom is drinking a Paxil, Rum and Coke in the next room and screaming about Ryan Seacrest, had to improvise in the only way we knew how: we wore our condition.</p>
<p>The success of embarking in any form of substance between the ages of 15 and 19 is really all about utility. How can I make the most out of this situation? I need to get booze into my system but it’s illegal for me to purchase. Also, let’s say you do acquire booze? Most decent parents do not approve of you drinking around them. Therefore, you must do it in the cover of basements, wooded areas, bushes, or bleachers. This all requires a bit of ingenuity and cunning, both characteristics which are aided by a decent sense of utility for all the things around them. This is where the cargo short really shined, it had incalculable value in terms of transporting and hiding substances. It was genuinely a short meant to carry cargo. There was nothing better than just feeling the coolness of a beer pressed up against your leg while it sits in your lower side pocket of your shorts. Picture yourself 7 years younger than you are now.  You are either at a high school sporting event or a less-eventful basement party somewhere. Someone in your crew is staggering around with these Samsonites as legs, and their packed with beers. If you had a good cargo short, the lower side pocket not only held 2 upright unopened beers but opened ones as well without spilling. When you reach 21, there is no reason to hide beers on your person, and now that you’ve grown up, you’ve discovered the coming-of-age joy of preparing a perfectly packed cooler, so the cargo shorts are moot.</p>
<p>The cargo short was diverse. People wear them with a button-up shirt, and for those harder, just a beater. For the smelly kid at gym class, it was an acceptable gym class short. However, this was based on the technicality that it was closely related to the jean short, which was given way too much leeway in the athletic wear department. By the transitive property the cargo short was viewed as an athletic short, but much to this commentators chagrin. It should be stated that the only criteria for the kid who never brought his gym clothes was not that he was poor or lazy, but that he was smelly. Think about it.</p>
<p><a href="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/cargo_shorts_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image aligncenter" src="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/cargo_shorts_1.jpg?w=487" alt="Image" /></a></p>
<p>The cargo short was the perfect blend of utility and style, grace and performance if you will. Clothing can be ruined by too much utility and not enough style (the zip-off pant leg, transition lenses), or killed by style and not enough utility (the baggy pant, unseasonable scarves). The cargo short, however, seemed to play both roles well. So it was a sad day for me when I realized that I had to give up the cargo short. I reached into my closet while preparing for a beach trip and grabbed a wrinkly portal the past that I hadn’t worn in a while, with that vague military color that goes with anything, and I just knew it was over. I just knew it.</p>
<p>I think it’s that we’ve grown up. We no longer require large pockets. We need less cargo, although ironically life was a bit simpler when we needed more. Makes you think. But now cell phones aren’t large, no more thick charcoal bricks of flip phones and Trac phones.  The tri-fold wallet has gone the way of the dodo while the clip has ably stepped in.  We carry less, while also carrying more. Think again.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My options for iced coffee on my morning drive to work are pretty limited, given the inherent ghettoness of the hour long drive I must endure each morning. Apparently small locally-owned coffee shops don&#8217;t fare as well in destitute neighborhoods, which leaves room for the corporate powerhouse chains to swoop in and corner the coffee market in these areas. I guess the main bullet point of this paragraph is that Dunkin Donuts is really my only option for iced coffee in the morning. Moving on.</p>
<p>Dunkin Donuts has been getting pretty crayzy (purposeful misspelling) recently with the additions of mocha-flavored iced coffee in combination with the likes of almonds and caramel. I must admit, they are decent. Today as I drive-by I notice a sign for &#8220;Oreo Iced Coffee&#8221;. Naturally, I&#8217;m intrigued, mainly because the advertisement shows an apparently delicious-looking beverage with magical flying Oreo cookies surrounding it. Just the mere thought of flying cookies has me sold on the endless possibilities of this product.</p>
<p>Let me be the first to tell you, fuck this coffee. Here is an illustration to introduce you to this debauchery:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/oreo-coffee.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-571" title="oreo coffee" src="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/oreo-coffee.jpg?w=614" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">First of all, when considering this drink, I figured it would <strong>taste</strong> more-or-less like a cookies-n-cream iced coffee, if such a thing exists. That was my first mistake. The second mistake was actually trusting Dunkin Donuts to not fuck up a perfectly good idea for an iced coffee. I take my first sip, it tastes like a regular black iced coffee. I stir and shake it up a little bit, and MUCH to my surprise, my mouth is inundated with slimy chunks of Oreo cookie.. not the creamy center parts either, the nasty chunky chocolate bits. My mouth is in a serious state of &#8220;what the fuck was that&#8221; at this point. I should have noticed the chunks from the original advertisement, but to my credit, they did appear to be evenly dispersed in this milieu, not all completely settled to the bottom like someone licked off all of the cream, crushed the cookies, threw them in the bottom of a cup and poured coffee over it (wait, that&#8217;s really what it is).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So to recap: <strong>Iced Oreo Coffee from Dunkin Donuts</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>A)</strong> Entire Oreo cookies will not magically appear and float around you.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>B)</strong> It does not appear nor taste as delicious as it looks in the advertisement.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>C)</strong> It sucks, don&#8217;t waste your money.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">On a side note.. Do people not drink black coffee? You know, minus the whole cream &amp; sugar thing. I feel like every time I respectfully decline the option for cream and sugar, the servers get so offended or look at me like I&#8217;m from France or something. I don&#8217;t get it. Its bad for you and, at least to me, offers nothing but wasted space that could have been filled by coffee. Maybe I&#8217;m weird.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Anyway.. more to follow, I&#8217;m sure.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 261px"><img class="  " title="Barry in Space" src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/dangerroom/2012/01/obamamarsmission.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="170" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Barry in Space</p></div>
<p>It took me quite a bit of time to come up with a title to this article. Mainly because I&#8217;m still not 100% sure what to make of this. Are some celebrities time travelers? Are they just &#8216;undead&#8217; (I won&#8217;t call them vampires outright, because vampires are totally stupid) or were they part of some top-secret jumpers program like Obama supposedly was in his youth? You may have to research that last one on your own, because I can talk ad-nauseum about this (and I want to stay somewhat on topic). Or could this be something completely different altogether? Perhaps our current timelines are converging with those of an alternate, or MANY alternate universes and seeing Nic Cage as a Civil War-era chap is just the repercussions of this merging. With 2012 reaching its midpoint, our solar system hurling through a region of highly-magnetized &#8216;fluff&#8217; that stretches several thousand light years through our galaxy, our Earth being blanketed with nuclear fallout from Fukushima and our material world completely shitting the bed.. I kind of wouldn&#8217;t mind going back to the past and fucking with some timelines as well. I think I&#8217;ve been watching too much Twilight Zone and Dr. Who. I didn&#8217;t really have a point to this introductory paragraph, so I&#8217;m just going to move on to the evidence.</p>
<p><strong>Nicolas Kim Coppola, AKA Nic Cage</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><img class="alignright" title="Nic Cage" src="http://myrottingbrain.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/425-cage-ls-091911.jpg?w=304&#038;h=226" alt="" width="304" height="226" />For full disclosure purposes, I am a huge Nic Cage fan. Despite having some of the most atrocious hairstyles in his movies, he almost always plays a solid role. I say almost because if you&#8217;ve ever seen The Wicker Man, you&#8217;ll know what I mean. Anyway, Nic has played a lot of extremely smart or ahead-of-their-time-type characters (National Treasure, Knowing, Con Air..kidding) and I never really made the connection til I saw Civil War Nic Cage. The reason he knows it all, is because he&#8217;s sort of &#8216;been there/done that&#8217;. So maybe he really did find a National Treasure and was part of a massive psy-op/cover-up to make people think its all fiction, but really, its based on a true story. It also doesn&#8217;t hurt that he NEVER seems to age either.</p>
<p><strong>Keanu Charles Reeves, AKA Keanu Reeves</strong></p>
<p>Thousands of years ago in the future, there was a man named Keanu Reeves. One of the more entertaining examples, as it appears Keanu may be more than just a time traveler, but perhaps the MASTER of time travel. This is also entirely believable since he never appears to age and has seemingly regressed to his old 1530s pirate look as of late. The 1875 version was coincidentally (or not) a French actor named Paul Mounet who was also noted for his emotionless, deadpan acting style. Interestingly enough, he also died under mysterious circumstances in which no body was ever recovered, allegedly. Maybe The Matrix isn&#8217;t as far from reality as I may have thought originally.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Keanu Reeves" src="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/4_12_2011_keanu-reeves-un-balcon-sur-la-mer-red-carpet_1252812529.jpg?w=570&#038;h=181" alt="" width="570" height="181" /></p>
<p><strong>John Joseph Travolta, AKA John Travolta</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="John Travolta" src="http://veryaware.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Travolta-time-traveler.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="215" />This one actually creeps me out a little bit. Not the time travel thing, but more-or-less the creepy &#8220;I&#8217;m going to grab your cock and then tell you about how the Jews run Hollywood&#8221; kind of look he&#8217;s giving in both pictures. I don&#8217;t think Travolta is of the undead-variety like Nic Cage, mainly because he seems to be aging really poorly. But maybe that&#8217;s just to throw everyone off the proverbial trail. There really is no explanation for either of these pictures. Maybe they were time assassins sent to stop John Wilkes Booth from assassinating Lincoln, or maybe JT was just a male prostitute. Who really knows. While these two are interesting examples, the next one really blows my mind.</p>
<p><strong>Thomas Jacob &#8220;Jack&#8221; Black, AKA Jack Black, AKA Paul Revere</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Jack eBlack Paul Revere" src="http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2009/8/5/128939644311413430.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="117" />This is perhaps the most uncanny reference of them all. Paul Revere, the man who supposedly warned of an upcoming British invasion during the Revolutionary War, or if you are Sarah Palin you probably believe something entirely different. Frankly, I don&#8217;t really care. Judging on Jack Black&#8217;s persona, this is also probably the most believable example as well.</p>
<h3></h3>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft" title="John Krasinski" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Portrait_of_the_manufacturer_Carl_Adolf_Feilberg.jpg" alt="" width="75" height="98" />John Burke Krasinski, AKA &#8220;Jim Halpert&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Most commonly known as &#8220;Jim&#8221; from the office, bears an uncanny resemblance to human rights activist Carl Adolph Feilberg from an 1835 portrait painting by Christen Kobke.</p>
<h3></h3>
<p><strong>Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone, AKA Sylvester Stallone, AKA Sly Stallone</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Sly Stallone" src="http://uploads.neatorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Stallone.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="175" />The most recent time travel reference to make the rounds. Sly appears to appear in this 16th Century painting by Raphael, peering stoic-ly at Pope Gregory IX. This is part of a larger painting which is housed at the Vatican. While some may argue that Sly has rather common Italian features and that this is just some kind of coincidence, I beg to differ. When viewing the painting as a whole, several other celebrities &#8216;appear&#8217; around Pope Gregory IX. So what was so special about this? And was Raphael trying to tell us something, much like Da Vinci, but trying to warn us to avoid shitty movies in the future?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Group Photo" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Virt%C3%B9_e_due_scene_06.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="827" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> I would have thought the Stallone reference was just a coincidence, however, it appears that this is more of a group photo than anything. From left to right: Sylvester Stallone, Christopher Walken, Napoleon Bonaparte (?), Anthony Hopkins (Pope), Steve Buscemi, Joe Pesci, Louis CK (or Vincent Van Gogh), Liam Neeson and an older Gerard Butler (kneeling).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Perhaps these are just random occurrences. After all, there have been billions of people/humanoids on this planet throughout history, so there a bound to be similar faces as well. I am sure there are others, as there are certainly a few suspicious celebrities who never seem to age, such as Will Smith. And when you consider the types of movies people like Smith make, you can totally relate it. Anyway, as our timelines seemingly continue to converge to a point, maybe we will see more of these occurrences, which I will be sure to document. I will close with one final comparison, although I am not convinced as much as I am with the evidence above. It is of Michael Jackson. We saw MJ grow up into a beautiful woman, but all jokes aside, he was very much &#8216;aware&#8217; in terms of conspiracies and the occult and I believe he also &#8216;died&#8217; very mysteriously. So maybe we will see him again in the future!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/chinese_take_out_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-547" title="chinese_take_out_2" src="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/chinese_take_out_2.jpg?w=300&#038;h=258" alt="" width="300" height="258" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m just going to say it.</p>
<p>I wish to make a complaint.</p>
<p>The last time I checked in with Herro Prease! I complained about the <a title="Franklin and Bashed" href="http://herro-prease.com/2011/06/01/franklin-and-bash-post/" target="_blank">lawmedy known as Franklin &amp; Bash</a> and it&#8217;s almost certain cancellation. Besides simply the unabashed lack of creativity spent developing the show, its other offense was the careless abuse of the actor Mark-Paul Gosselaar, also known as the blonde Tom Cruise. He deserved better.</p>
<p>But anyway, here it is:</p>
<p>Chinese takeout restaurants have been grossly encroaching on the safety standards of modern-American takeout procedure that had been in place for over 50 years. It&#8217;s been such a slow and often seamless overstepping of food safety that a communist takeover of this country seems more and more likely.</p>
<p>Think about ordering take-out as a youngster, even say, 10 years ago. You had the same brown paper bag, the same tin, paper box, or styrofoam container, a few napkins, and the timeless fortune cookie.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to modern day. Now try picturing the placid landscape of exotic fried food from the orient as it is when it arrives at your doorstep. At first it will seem normal, but now try simply opening the bag. The sweet, tender yield of a paper bag is supplanted with the resistance of atleast 3 staples on the opening of the bag.</p>
<p>Staples, commonly an office fixture for holding together documents that should seldom be pulled apart, are in no way at fault. They are a good office utensil. They are more permanent than a paperclip, and less permanent than adhesive, they are the best of both of the worlds, and should be lauded for that.</p>
<p>But chinese food take out places have irresponsibly, and possibly with malice, taken the virtue of the staple and placed it within the take out food realm. This is bad, and the reasons are as follows:</p>
<p><strong>1. The use of staples violates the criteria required of a take out carrier container.</strong> Take out carrier containers require two criteria:</p>
<p>a.) The take out container must be able to adeptly hold the item.</p>
<p>b.) The take out container must have a clever device to which a human hand, and not a jostle of the container, is able to open.</p>
<div id="attachment_545" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 290px"><a href="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/chinese_take_out.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-545 aligncenter" title="chinese_take_out" src="http://herroprease.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/chinese_take_out.gif?w=614" alt=""   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">An example of the &quot;clever device&quot; known as the tuck-under flap on paper box packaging.</p></div>
<p>The difference between the &#8220;device&#8221; I have described and the ability to &#8220;hold,&#8221; or the two criteria I just mentioned are radically      different, something that Chinese take out packaging procedure has ignored. One involves the intelligence of a human being, the other is the product of engineering. You see, the &#8220;clever device&#8221; is the part that is to be impenetrable to the wear and tear that occurs in transportation. It is &#8220;clever&#8221; because it is not activated by pure force, but by the willful employment of human intelligence. Examlples of &#8220;clever devices&#8221; are the tuck-under flap on styrofoam containers, the fold-over-the-sides margin on tin packaging, and the variation of the tuck-under flap on the paper box packaging. All ably do their duty. All are impenetrable to normal wear and tear but can be activated by a human readily. The use of staples clearly violates this construct. By attempting to use staples as a bit of added security to their already stellar packaging, the chinese food take out restaurant has thus impeded one essential element of the takeout container in lieu of the added support relevant in the &#8220;holding&#8221; element.</p>
<p>This creates a problem. Staples are not for the human hand. Yes, you could argue that staples do fit the characteristic of the &#8220;clever device&#8221; element I described earlier, since we humans are aware of how to pull them out. BUT the &#8220;clever device&#8221; element is not composed only of simple human intelligence, but human intelligence and ability. And human beings have not the dexterity nor the derma-strength to take out one of these bitches manually, and no one, should ever, under any circumstances, readily have a staple remover. Thus, the  bag becomes such a painful and tedious process that you end up tearing the bag and risk puncturing skin in the process.</p>
<p><strong>2. Isn&#8217;t the idea to keep small pieces of metal AWAY from food?</strong> I mean, c&#8217;mon Chinese food, you already have a pretty miserable reputation on proper food preparedness/food composition that you can&#8217;t be taking risks with thin pieces of metal. The reputation, by the way, is no longer a reputation, but firmly a part of American lore.</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>Please take note. Keep calm and carry on, and other phrases.</p>

<p>Something I always though was cool about my life, or life in general, is that I&#8217;m not blind and have a pretty good idea of what is occurring around me while I am &#8220;in the moment&#8221;. Such as at a concert or sporting event. The fact that I am there, in person, observing, is simply enough for me. The memory I created from being at that event at that point in time satisfies me in ways that a grainy cell phone photo or a muffled/shaky cell phone video can ever accomplish. Maybe that&#8217;s just me, but I like being in that moment, where I don&#8217;t have some 6&#8217;4 jackass high school quarterback pushing to get in front of me so he can raise his 2002 fucking flip phone in front of me to record this song that you&#8217;ll never fucking hear anyway because it sounds like the speakers in your phone are going to implode then upload it to youtube so it gets 56 views in 3 years because nobody gives a fuck about your shitty video when they could have just been there in person. You know I&#8217;m serious when I go off on an unpunctuated rant. Fuck you people.</p>
<p>What is so hard about using your eyes and ears to appreciate your surroundings? Do you really need to text your friend Becky and be all &#8220;OMG BECKY M AT THE CNCRT LOL U SHLD B HERE&#8221; and then when Becky sends you back a fucking frowny face because she is an idiot has nothing of actual substance to say back so you hold up your cell phone for 20 minutes trying to take a picture which will end up looking like a shit stain across a black canvass.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t act like its the first concert you&#8217;ve ever been to. There are a few simple guidelines to live by. Be respectful of those around you (ex. don&#8217;t be a drunk meathead and start a fight because someone brushed up against your girl like every single dickhead that goes to the festival pier), help people up if they fall, and keep your fucking phone in your pocket. People around you won&#8217;t hate you and you will have a far better time because you are actually having a real experience. So go with it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="alignright" title="Big $$$ean" src="http://www.hiphopweekly.com/100303-newsite/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Big-Sean.png" alt="" width="185" height="123" />So, I have been trying to find a good follow-up to my ground-breaking deciphering of Tyga&#8217;s &#8220;Rack City&#8221;, which unintentionally outed the young rap star. I&#8217;ve received several good suggestions via Twitter which may work out eventually, but I forgot about this contemporary classic. This is the perfect sequel as it incorporates a lot of nonsensical rhyme schemes and profuse repetition&#8230;and ass remixes. </span></h4>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">No introduction necessary, Big Sean (B$) shoots us right out of the cannon with a ridiculously repetitive hook, like so repetitive that he&#8217;s not even trying to rhyme but it is still somehow really catchy. He hits you with &#8220;ASS&#8221; (or &#8220;A$$&#8221;, I think) about 22 times by my count, but in several different ways. The first set of asses sounds like how B$ would talk to his ladyfriends all smoothlike in a dimly lit nightclub when he&#8217;s too cool to speak above the music; the second set of asses is distorted in some sort of a burping-voice filter which finishes out the asses as a Donald Duck-like filter chimes in with the burping to finish out the first line of this hook. It sort of looks like this:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>[normal voice] Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass [burp-voice] ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass<br />
[Donald Duck joins in] ass, ass, ass, ass, ass<br />
Stop&#8230; now make that motherfucker hammer time like&#8230;<br />
</em><em>Go stupid, go stupid, go stupid (do it, boyeee&#8211;) ..(or something)..</em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">I threw the rest of the hook in there at the end, because I realized it took me about 200 words just to explain that ass is repeated 22 times. So I&#8217;ll stop and make that motherfucker hammer time, which, by virtue of most-popular definition on urban dictionary, refers to the phrase a man says before jackhammering his partner and consequently breaking his/her neck. Hmm, starting off oddly familiar here, I hope this isn&#8217;t literally another ambiguously-gay rap song. We&#8217;ll see.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Wobble-dy wobble-dy wa wobble wobble</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"> <em>I&#8217;m st-stacking my paper my wallet look like a bible</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"> <em>I got girlies half naked that shit look like the grotto</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"> <em>How your waist anorexic and then your ass is colossal</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"> <em>Drop that ass make it boomerang</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"> <em>Take my belt off bitch I&#8217;m Pootie Tang</em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 138px"><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="    " title="Bibles/Wallets" src="http://texasenterprise.org/sites/default/files/Bible-Wallet-Church-Pastor-Compensation_iStock_000007088099Small_0.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="85" /></span><p class="wp-caption-text"><span style='color:#000000;'>Bible wallets and shit</span></p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">I assume the first line is to get the listener into some sort of transmission where they experience a sensation of rocking or teetering their heads repetitiously. Or its just to dupe the listener into thinking wobble and wallet are a perfect rhyme, I don&#8217;t really care to be honest. I&#8217;m more-or-less interested in the transition from wallets looking like bibles to half naked girlies making shit look like the grotto. Really, though. I don&#8217;t always have the opportunity to have stacks of paper in my wallet, but when I do, I&#8217;ve never made the connection that it would even remotely resemble a bible. But then to make that</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 124px"><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="  " title="Anorexic" src="http://www.dvorak.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/anorexic.jpg" alt="" width="114" height="114" /></span><p class="wp-caption-text"><span style='color:#000000;'>Colossal a$$, you're doing it wrong.</span></p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">comparison and then just be like &#8216;fuck it&#8217; I&#8217;ll just throw in this line about half naked girlies, I mean, I just don&#8217;t get it. And when have you ever seen an anorexic person with a colossal ass? That just doesn&#8217;t even sound healthy, or physically possible. Regardless, I have to give B$ some credit for the colorful imagery thus far. The last line finally gives us the closest thing we&#8217;ve had to a rhyme with boomerang and Pootie Tang which I have to admit is pretty funny because Pootie Tang could whoop anybody&#8217;s ass with that belt. I think the ass drop is that kind of gross dance all the ladies do in that &#8220;Back Dat Ass Up&#8221; music video by Juvenile. I guess its kind of like a boomerang when all that jiggle comes back around. I typed in &#8220;ass bomerang&#8221; on Urban Dictionary for some clarification and it pulled up &#8220;dirtpipe boomerang&#8221; which was invented by Bill Cosby in 1956 and involves two people pushing their assholes together and taking turns shitting into the others assholes, hence boomerang-ing&#8230;? Okay, on second though, I don&#8217;t care anymore.. Moving on.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Tippy tow tippy tay you gonna get a tip today</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Fuck that you gonna get some dick today</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>I walk in with my crew and I&#8217;m breaking they necks</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>I&#8217;m looking all good I&#8217;m making her wet</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>They pay me respect they me in checks</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>And if she look good she pay me in sex</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Bounce that ass (a$$) it&#8217;s the roundest</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>You the best you deserve a crown bitch</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Right on that&#8230; </em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><img class=" " title="Check Ho's" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QoLbFOkzzfI/SC2koSgrF6I/AAAAAAAACAw/m4h686jy7JA/s400/2008.05.04-077.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;I'll take 30 of your finest whores, this check should suffice&quot;</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">Just like the first half of this verse, B$ give us another nonsensical repetitive-y rhyme-y thing-y which for whatever reason involves one of his bitches getting a tip today or something. I don&#8217;t know, fuck that he&#8217;ll just give her some dick  today. The egregious use of today in the first 2 lines really sets off the second half of this verse for me. The third line is where it gets interesting, and verifies the hammer time reference from the hook because apparently B$ and his entire crew love to jackhammer their sexual partners til the point of severe neck injury. Not gonna argue with that. I just don&#8217;t know how any respectable lady is still getting wet in the pants as her neck is being broken </span><span style="color:#000000;">from aggressive acts of coitus. I guess when you look as good as B$, it just doesn&#8217;t matter after a certain point. I guess respectable ladies who like having their necks broken always pay their man with checks, seriously, fucking checks. This is a rap song and you are talking about getting CHECKS from whores. Checks. Seriously, checks. Or sex (hehe, that rhymes) if she looks good. Ok, whathefuckever. Since checks kind of, kiiiind of rhymes with roundest, I can see why its in there, but really, you could have said &#8220;stacks&#8221; or something. Its really not that hard to write these things. You the best you deserve a crown bitch&#8230;&#8230;right on that&#8230;  </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">The hook plays again. If you need a refresher course, please re-read the first paragraph.  </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">I was going to do the original version of this song, til I realized (no credit to Antonio) that the Nicki Minaj second verse of this song is way fucking better. She pretty much puts B$ to shame since she can actually rhyme, regardless of how silly they may be. </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Wobbledy wobble, wo-wo-wobble, wobbin&#8217;</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Ass so fat, all these bitches&#8217; pussies is throbbin&#8217;</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Bad bitches, I&#8217;m your leader, Phantom by the meter</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Somebody point me to the best ass-eater</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Tell &#8216;em &#8220;pussy clean&#8221;, I tell em &#8220;pussy squeaky&#8221;</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Niggas give me brain &#8217;cause all of them niggas geeky </em> </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">SEE THAT SHIT?! Bitch can fuckin&#8217; rhyme. A, B, A, B, A, B. That&#8217;s how good rhymes should work. Although I&#8217;m not quite sure how having a fat ass would make one&#8217;s pussy throb, I&#8217;ll leave the semantics up to you, Nicki. She drives a Phantom, that&#8217;s cool. I mean, its no Bugatti Veyron, but its still cool and all. Its parked by the meter, so naturally we have to make an analingus rhyme. But I guess there are no good ass-eaters to be found since she pulls out the &#8216;niggas give me brain&#8217; line, which, when I was 13 or so found out that &#8216;brain&#8217; is another word for oral-sex. I&#8217;m just going to stop before this gets weirder. </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>If he got a mandingo, then I buy him a dashiki</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>And bust this pussy open in the islands of Waikikiiiii-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>Kiss my ass and my anus, &#8217;cause it&#8217;s finally famous</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>And it&#8217;s finally soft, yeah, it&#8217;s finally solved!</em></span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;"><em>I don&#8217;t know, man, guess them ass shots were off!</em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">From what I understand, a mandingo is an African male who knows he has a huge shlong and can hit it all night long and keep you coming back for more. A dashiki is a garment usually worn by West</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 115px"><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="      " title="Ass Shots" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wUHCOu1yyYQ/S7OeYXG7d9I/AAAAAAAADHg/4dxL4_bgbl0/s1600/fat-ass.jpg" alt="" width="105" height="75" /></span><p class="wp-caption-text"><span style='color:#000000;'>Ass shots, literally</span></p></div>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Africans and hippies that covers the top half of the body. Not sure how these two actually correlate to Nicki&#8217;s pussy getting busted open in Waikiki.. I guess it has something to do with not wearing any pants. I promised myself this wouldn&#8217;t get weird again, but for whatever reason, Ms. Minaj is fixated on analingus again, as if we didn&#8217;t get the point earlier. I&#8217;ll just leave it at that. If the ass shots line seems weird, its not. She is actually clowning the original version of the song because B$ refers to cupid shooting arrows into somethings ass and he falls in love with it.. or something. </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Bitches ain&#8217;t poppin&#8217;, Google, my ass<br />
Only time you on the net is when you Google my ass<br />
Y-y-you fuckin&#8217; little whores, fu-fuckin&#8217; up my decors<br />
Couldn&#8217;t get Michael Kors if you was fuckin&#8217; Michael Kors<br />
B-B-Big Sean, b-boy, how big is you?<br />
Gimmie all yo&#8217; money and gimmie all yo&#8217; residuals<br />
Then slap it on my ass, ass, ass&#8230;&#8230; </em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 114px"><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="  " style="border-style:initial;" title="Michael Kors" src="http://static02.mediaite.com/styleite/power-grid/images/profiles/1237/michael_kors_x200_x290.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="104" /></span><p class="wp-caption-text"><span style='color:#000000;'>He couldn't get himself even if he was himself, allegedly.</span></p></div>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Holy shit.. I have no clue what the fuck any of this means anymore. Is Michael Kors the dude from Project Runway? Apparently he&#8217;s the greatest designer ever. Apparently, I could care less. I&#8217;ll just slap some residuals on its ass and try not to understand the craziness that is in Nicki Minaj&#8217;s head.  This brings us near the of this mess. The hook plays again. B$ comes back to talk about white girls, black girls, tall girls, fat girls, short girls, small girls, skinny girls, &amp; all girls really and how they shake that ass. And he wants all of that. And then the fucking hook&#8230;.again. For all of you who love the repetition. So what have we learned? Stacks of money can make your wallet look like the bible, anorexic chicks have big asses according to legend, B$ takes checks from hookers because he&#8217;s so respected, Nicki Minaj loves analingus and Michael Kors couldn&#8217;t even get with himself if he had a clone of himself. I know, this is all so much to take in. But what is this song actually about? I have no fucking idea.  Til next time.. <span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='614' height='376' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/pn1VGytzXus?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="alignright" title="Dicky Dick Dick" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Dick_Clark_American_Bandstand_1961.JPG/448px-Dick_Clark_American_Bandstand_1961.JPG" alt="" width="97" height="130" />I&#8217;m not advocating the sudden death of Dick Clark, which happened something like 2 minutes ago in the Internet world. World travels fast. However, I have claimed the second celebrity in my <a title="2012 Pool" href="http://herro-prease.com/celebrity-death-pools/2012-pool/">2012 Death Pool</a> after an extremely slow start to 2011. So after my 52 points from Whitney and the 28 from Dick Clark, my trusty calculator puts me at 80 total points for the year&#8230; and its only April. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">This now squashes my theory that Dick Clark was actually a hologram resurrected for every New Years celebration as some weird tradition that needed to be carried over for nostalgic purposes. I will officially be out of hologram theories if Joan Rivers decides she is ever going to die.  </span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#000000;"><img class="alignright" title="The Internet!" src="http://i.qkme.me/2062.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="164" /></span>Oh herro there! So you just bought a computer and are on the Internet for the first time, let me be the first to welcome you to it. I understand you have a choice in websites, and I appreciate the fact the you chose mine.</p>
<p>A brief history of the Internet: It was invented sometime in the 1960s by Kim Jong-il who just simply willed it and POOF, Internet created. The American media would have you believe that Al Gore invented this, but I am here to tell you, brothers and sisters, it was not. So don&#8217;t believe everything you read, ya turkeys. I don&#8217;t really know how it works, I imagine there are wires all over the place and massive underground hamster wheels who are pumped full of amphetamines running 24/7 so people could share pictures of cats and stuff. So there you have it.</p>
<p>Anyway, let me also be the first to warn you about a few things on this world wide web. I know you didn&#8217;t have to take a test to get on the Internet, but honestly, everyone should understand a few basic principles.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright" src="http://georgieflower.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/elderly-people-on-computer.jpg?w=143&#038;h=122" alt="" width="143" height="122" />Nobody gets anything for &#8220;free&#8221; on here. NO ONE. </strong>I&#8217;m dead serious about this one. You will probably create a Facebook account so you can share pictures of your little twat children or friend request some person you liked in high school and creep on all of their pictures, because that&#8217;s what Facebook is for.. but don&#8217;t be &#8216;that guy&#8217; that clicks on &#8220;OMG FREE STARBUCKS GIFT CARDS CLICK HERE&#8221; and spams (not the edible kind&#8211;spam is a bad thing on here) your entire friends list, who, in turn, click the fucking link and wonder why their computers are infected with a virus (yes your computer can get sick) and all of your friends hate you now. See where I&#8217;m going with this? This goes for you too, mom, nobody randomly selected you to win anything, so knock it off.. you aren&#8217;t that special.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t open every single email you receive. </strong>Again, you are a nobody on the Internet, so always assume someone is trying to scam you out of something. You reading this, Dad? Nobody selected you from a list and thought &#8220;hmm, I bet this Tom character would really enjoy some free Viagra&#8221;. My general rule of thumb is, if you don&#8217;t know who its coming from, then just delete it.</p>
<p><strong>Always assume everything is too good to be true.</strong> I think this just piggybacks on my first too points. If it sounds so awesome that you might shit yourself from all the awesomeness, then its probably a scam. You will never get a free vacation, free airline tickets, free cars, free anything. So let me just burst your bubble now. Don&#8217;t get your hopes up.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t give out your credit card</strong> <strong>number. </strong>I mean okay, you can give it out if you are buying trinkets on ebay or that 5 gallon poly-bagged foldable collapsible water carrier on Amazon.com you just HAD to have. But other than that, don&#8217;t go on shady ass websites and just give out your credit card to anyone who asks for it.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know there are probably thousands of tips I can give, but I&#8217;m lazy. This post was actually going to be about you racist fucks that somehow find my website with your ridiculous search terms. By the sheer chance that the words &#8216;black&#8217; and &#8216;people&#8217; appear in various spots on my site, you somehow found this website. So if you are a racist, go fuck yourselves. But I&#8217;m going to share a few of my favorite search terms anyway, and these are terms that have been searched-for more than once, so enjoy:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;ugly pictures of black people&#8221;, &#8220;random black people pictures&#8221;, &#8220;italian and black people&#8221;, &#8220;niggers smell bad&#8221;, &#8220;black person vs ape&#8221;, &#8220;do people think black people are ugly&#8221;, &#8220;ugly black kids&#8221;<em>. </em></strong>What the fuck is wrong with you people? Go put a gun in your mouth, seriously. There have been hundreds of you finding my site with these search terms, fuck off already.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Mike Jerrick sucks&#8221;</strong>. Agreed. Mike Jerrick is the worst human being on the planet, luckily I don&#8217;t have cable anymore.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Danica whoring it up for go daddy&#8221;</strong>. Agreed. Glad I&#8217;m not the only one who despises her presence on this planet.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;potatoes bra&#8221;</strong>. Riiiiiight. I don&#8217;t even have a snarky comment for this, and the fact its been searched more than once is even more disturbing.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;good celebrities for a celebrity death pool&#8221;</strong>. And every combination of that imaginable. How about this? WHY NOT TRY BEING ORIGINAL YOU RETARDS. There are also searches for wildcard picks too. Its not hard to think up celebrities that you hope will die in the coming year. Try using your brain, you&#8217;d be amazed what you might actually &#8216;think&#8217;. Unless you are this moron: <strong>&#8220;celebrate deats 2011&#8243;. </strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;5 facts about north korea&#8221;</strong>. Only 5? Why stop there. I&#8217;ll give you <a href="http://herro-prease.com/north-korea-fun-facts/">35 facts</a>, so deal with that shit.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;fructyou&#8221;</strong>. Umm, fruct you too?</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;fancycatfaces&#8221;, &#8220;tough feral cat&#8221;</strong>. I love you. All of you. Just, not more than I love feral cats.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;jailbait story&#8221;, &#8220;kiddie porn comic&#8221;</strong>. I&#8217;ll notify the proper authorities.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;pictures to draw on my starbucks cup&#8221;</strong>. Again, try being original. Just fucking draw something, its not that difficult. Oh, but I need Google to tell me what to draw.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Sean Rossman</strong>&#8220;. Stop Googling yourself, Sean.</p>
<p>And finally..</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Herro Prease T Shirt&#8221;</strong>. Fuck yes. I&#8217;ll start selling hand-made t-shirts by request.</p>
