Coming up later this week, the Pittsburgh Symphany Orchestra’s mailer for Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for Warhol’s Phone, but I’ve had some things for a while that I’ve wanted to discuss, so look for them over the next few weeks, I hope you’ll enjoy!
Filed under: Coming Up 
A couple quick updates for everyone, then back to some work behind the scenes. I’ve been playing around with Joomla 1.6, I’ll be migrating at some point, but have to figure everything out soon, so look for that probably in the fall or something.
Today’s sad but true picture:
Are you sick of Charlie Sheen? Get rid of seeing any news about him with this browser extension!
If you haven’t seen it, make sure to check out this amazing post from Hyperbole and a Half about her two dogs. It includes amazing drawings such as this:
I’m learning about nature…as narrated by Randall. Here’s an example:
Thank you, Randall.
I posted an interesting chart before describing The Crown, the UK and all things associated. Now here’s Europe:
The UK is going to release these stamps! And they are awesome, including Merlin, Harry Potter, Narnia and Discworld. Although now that I think about it, I”m shocked that Lord of the Rings is not represented:
The Good Men Project took on sexism, and it’s hysterical:
That’s it for now, but more to come soon. Have a great one!
I’ll be back later, with a couple of things. First, I’m rewatching the entirety of Dollhouse, I’ll be putting down some thoughts about each episode, just for funsies. Also, I should be back later with another regular post, but I wanted to get some things put up here that I found here.
First up, here’s the debut trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword:
Speaking of, would you like to be a hero? Here’s the Generic Legendary Hero Training Manual!
Ladies and Gentleman…this is how your man can become the man you wish he smelled like…or something like that:
I’ve never realized that there are signers at rock concerts. But apparently, they have lots of problems with Bon Jovi and Lady Gaga, imagine that!
It was only a matter of time before this came around:
Disney is doing a new campaign, putting celebrities into iconic animated roles. I like this one and the Ursula:
Alright, that’s it for now, but I’ll be back later with more, have a great one!
So, sometimes I forgot how much of a sucker I am for a good strings section. With that in mind, I give you the latest video from the Goo Goo Dolls for “NotBroken”
Buzzfeed has amazing Charlie Sheen quotes with baby sloths (much like they did with kittens and Mel Gibson not too long ago), my favorite:
Check out this amazing article about why video games should have their own dedicated Grammy. “Baba Yetu” is amazing, although the live duet version from VGL is even better:
Tim Burton is set to do a new Hunchback movie! That remains my all time favorite Disney movie, and I’d actually really like to read the book, so I’m interested in this.
Check out this awesome idea for a new Scrabble set:
This kind of flew under the radar, but Nickelodeon is bringing back classic cartoons with new episodes! So hoping for Ahh! Real Monsters!
And the internet memes continue for Christina:
That’s it for now, media heavy update, but I’ll be back again soon, have a great one!
First up, a couple social media updates. First, the person responsible for the Red Cross’ twitter feed tweeted under that account, when he thought it was his personal account. The result actually was a ton of people pledged to donate blood with some help from Dog Fish Beer. Pretty cool to read about how a company dealt well with a faux pas.
And to follow up, Slog links to two maps: one here, the other here, to help you track the revolutions of the Middle East.
And here is the counter-argument about Twitter specifically not toppling governments:
I can’t tell if this is real or not, but this could only happen via the Internet:
Here is a great list of awesome flyers. One of my favorites:
We went out last night for a friend’s birthday, and what has become somewhat of a tradition, there was a lot of Bacon on Dana’s fries. So in honor of that, I give you this amazing chart.
Take a look at this, it’s really cool to watch. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen an older version of this as a TED talk, but this is way cooler:
Have you played Angry Birds? If so, check out the letters home from the Pigs, really funny!
And this is just cool, check it out:

BuzzFeed has an amazing infographic about Girl Scout Cookies that is just giant, so go check it out. Also, I really miss the Lemon Coolers, they were great!
Okay, one more video:
Nah, I lied, here’s a new original from Funny or Die, the premise basically started in PA:
Chick-Fil-Gay – watch more funny videos
Daily Kos has an interesting article about Republicans and reproductive health
Okay, that’s it for now, but I’ll be back later with more, have a great one!
Couple quick things for everyone, more coming later.
First up, the definitive explanation of The Crown:
Hot on the heels of The Super Bowl, and really any professional sporting event:
We knew he was coming back, and here it is. I think the fondu (which for the life of me, and spell check, I can’t write out correctly) was a nice touch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R2cnxz27LI
This bottle sounds amazing, but I don’t really need any more, but maybe a reader is in the market. Also, if you don’t read UpaDowna, it’s a fun site!
Again, Bill O’Reilly is a moron. I can’t stress this enough. Check out the background here, a bunch of fun photos here, including my favorite:
Did you know that The Pope can’t donate his organs? Because that’s helpful. Can we stop calling Catholics pro-life soon?
This looks amazing, and I kind of want to do it:
Rachel Maddow has a great post about what to do with the empty House chamber, since you know, they aren’t doing much.
If you’ve read Blink (I need to) or Tipping Point (I have), check out the Malcolm Gladwell book generator.
Check out this awesome map of good beer. Also, poor Idaho!
And finally, my buddy Ken sent this to me, one of these days, I’ll finish Infinite Jest (after starting it probably 20 or so times). It’s really my white whale.
Wikileaks has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. How awesome would it be if it won? I can only hope.
Buzzfeed has a list of Darth Vader doing strange things (at least, strange for the Dark Lord of the Sith), this may be my favorite:
And here is what Star Wars would look like if it was drawn by Dr. Seuss.
Warning, this will overdose you on cuteness:
And following that explosion of cuteness, this made me so incredibly proud.
I was never a huge fan of Groundhog Day, but maybe I wasn’t old enough when I first saw it. But anyway, here’s a bunch of estimations about how much time actually takes place.
What would it look like if the entire population of the world moved together to a density like many cities:
I find this strangely funny, I think mostly because of the kid’s reactions:
And as a follow up to that, Newt Gingrich tries to defend his view of marriage. And the response:
Gingrich would like to remind everybody that that marriage is between one man and one woman whom you abandon riddled with cancer on her hospital bed while you fuck the shit out of your mistress whom you later marry and cheat on with a third woman while screaming with Godly moral outrage about the infidelities of the president.
Bill Gates talks about this latest endeavor, eradicating polio around the world. My favorite quote however, is where he states the vaccine-autism link is an ‘absolute lie.’ I’ve never really listened to him speak for that long, but he is very well spoken. Maybe not as good as Steve Jobs, but better than what I had perceived he would be. Anyway, here’s the clip:
And lastly today, this is scary first, because of the oppression of expression (and bloggers) and two, because it is a reality that in some areas, certain ethnic groups have limited rights.
Another quick update for everyone. First up, from The Second City, Captain Megaphone:
Mint has a cool article about decoding credit card numbers and what they actually mean (I was wrong, they aren’t just random numbers)
Washington State is proposing something radical: “Medical clinics” that don’t actually provide medical advice or anything besides over the counter items should have to declare those facts. And it will be a tough fight, guaranteed.
This made me laugh a lot, I hope you enjoy:
And lastly today, some profanity-laden advice that made me burst out laughing. My favorite lines (again, inappropriate, I know):
THIS BITCH CAN GET LEGALLY MARRIED AND I CAN’T?!?!
Sorry, sorry, sorry. That was cunty of me, I realize, nowhere near the level of respectful professionalism that people expect of me. So I’m gonna make amends by scrounging up some of that advice shit you’re after—my readers will doubtless have lots to say to you too—but on one condition: that you don’t write me ever again.
That’s it for now, have a great one everybody!
With all the hub-bub about horoscopes lately, Information is Beautiful put together two meta horoscopes: The most common words in each zodiac sign, and one giant, to-rule-them-all horoscope.
I’m going to have to approve of this. Apparently, it is going to be marketed to the outdoor crowd, which makes it perfect for hiking trips:
Deadspin has a great letter exchange from Cleveland that you should read.
And lastly, never fear, you’re not a horrible person for being addicted to Angry Birds, it’s in your DNA!
That’s it for now, have a great one!
