As you’re probably well aware by now (or more likely, soon will be), occasionally PX This receives ‘fan letters’ and/or encouraging e-mails from people who love the book, inquiring as to why it hasn’t yet been made into "a movie" or "HBO series." Well, I’m right there with you, Mary!
I, Vanilla Ice, longtime PX This fanatic and current part-time PX This blogger / contributor, would also like to know when the hell everyone is going to get their shit together already. Hey, Brian Grazer, get your face out of that chicken pot pie, and let’s make this happen! (Stop worrying about Graybee Baby; he’ll get over it!)
Look, I’ve even taken the liberty of assembling the perfect, awesome, award-winning Hollywood trailer. That’s 90% of the work done, right? I know— I watch Entourage.
You’re welcome, dude!
yah so
by now, yalls have heard all about how poor eric-goode couldn’t get home from europe cuz the big stupid volcano in iceland wouldn’t let him. well, did you even stop to think about all the forlorn europeans and scandinavians and whatnot stranded here for the very same reason? no. no, of course you didn’t.
imagine, say— you were stranded at THOR for days and days on end with absolutely no knowledge of how long it would be before you’re able to return home. and so you went out one night and got drunk and passed out on a new friend’s living room sofa. and then somebody stole your pants, but you didn’t discover it until you awoke the next morning? and thus you had to walk through the strange, crowded, unfamiliar streets of NYC all the way back to THOR without your pants?
wouldn’t you looove if it were all captured on video so you could relive this awesome experience time and time and time again? sure you would— i thought so!
and so, without further ado, PX This presents: The New York Blues with Markus Keller and Marc Swoboda
or ya know— you can also check out professional "snow rider" Marc Swoboda (for Nitro®, Volcom®, Red Bull®, and Nike®) in action—
and/or former Olympian Markus Keller— with his pants.
nyeeah. take that, Page Six.

Here is an awesome graphic display of 25 things you should and/or should not do on the subway. Look— it works for NYC, too!
This one in particular I didn’t quite understand at first. "Do it at the beach."
Do what at the beach? Stick yourself in the closing doors? But, then I realized: he’s "swimming," get it? Ha ha ha, "do it at the beach."
:)
Anyway, enjoy!
Bad manners are universal! Hooray.

omg i just found my newest favorite website everrr!
actually, i’m not entirely sure what they do really— frankly they could simply blog "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy" over and over and over again but it would still be my favorite website ever. just cuz of the title and "logo."
but now i’m scared cuz the last time i named my favorite blog everrr, they promptly turned idiotarded like practically overnight. also i’m deathly afraid these anonymous bloggers are just former gawker ignorassholes or some shit, looking for their next book deal, like This is Why You’re Stupid or Postcards From Your Asshole or whatever those bloggetty books are called. (it’s on tumblr, see. that’s the official gawker ignorasshole blog server— most likely cuz it’s free, and we alls know that despite all their arrogance and pretentiousness, gaaahwkers are actually broke as shit. i mean— if ShutUpFoodie is actually any good, i’ll give them the fucking $40 it takes to run a real website, for fuck’s sake.)
anyways. yah. it’s awesome.
i’m just sayin.
It’s Friday! Hooray!
Here, have a laugh. You could probably use one.

As one sagacious oenophile put it best: "OK, the sommelier will shut up now and the girl will take over… *SQUEEE! HELLO KITTY WINE!*"

Oh rilly, Sietsema? Well, I’m kinda irked by you both.
I’m no fan of A.A.Gill; lots of people more au courant than you already know this. And I don’t generally make of habit of reading you or other writers of your "genre"– (so, no offense) primarily because you’re all kinda a little full of it. (But that’s okay, cuz I’m pretty sure yalls don’t "read" me either, yah?)
I guess what I’m wondering is why you’re so many days late and quite a few dollars short. Cuz I mean like, for example, even I personally covered this angle eons ago. It just seems rather odd to me that when Graydon Carter hired A.A.Gill for his notorious "takedown" of Jean-Georges’s 66 six years ago, nobody really gave a shit (except maybe The Observer). And let’s bear in mind— that multimillion dollar restaurant no longer exists. (Coincidence? Perhaps. But certainly Vanity Fair didn’t help matters much, did it?)
So, is your article supposed to inspire me to indignation now? Sorry, to me it just comes off as kinda a little laughable. And irksome. Oh right, I already mentioned that.
I’m just sayin. (This is the "comment section," right?)
P.S. PX This – The Revised Edition and PX This, Too. ** Coming soon in the Spring of 2010!** Bitches.

Do you like pictures? Well, then you might appreciate the upcoming, soon-to-be-released, PX This – the Revised Edition
(followed closely by the release of its sequel, PX This Too).
With pictures!
But, not this one of "Tickle Me" Elmo perched atop abbe diaz’s Kawasaki Ninja 600R at the former Geld Iaz flagship boutique— it didn’t make the cut. Boo!
But, now you can see it here! Yay!

The Good Thief, Layer Cake, and L’Empire des Loups
Well! Who would have thought the "Netflix This" feature would have so many fans with such raging testosterone? After our last recommendation of Bad Influence, suddenly Y chromosomes started coming out of the woodwork. It seems most of our suggestions have had a decidedly "pussyish" "feminine" bent, but it certainly was never our intention to neglect the brutisher sex. Settle down there, boys! I got something for you, too:
The Good Thief, Layer Cake, and L’Empire des Loups (not necessarily in that order).
You will absolutely love them. Trust me. So call Domino’s, grab a six-pack, snuggle into your Lazy-Boy and enjoy!
But don’t forget to take out the trash first.
