Inbox of Immaturity: The Art of the Tease

Man, since that New Year’s Resolution to write a post per week, week’s are starting to fly by. This isn’t the most thoughtful post, but I can’t help it that I woke up and all I could think about was this clip (that was featured on The Soup). So I brought back an old staple, the IOI, in order to present this gem – and a few others. Without further ado, Ray-J teaches up about the art of the tease (at about 2:30 in):

More stuff I’m digging this week:
- Conan spending NBC’s money
- Five year-old drummer doing System of a Down
- Parks & Recreation + Questlove + Wu-Tang
- Kind of like the Jersey Shore meets Pokemon (NSFW)
- And finally, a Jersey Shore compilation

Have a great weekend. Go Jets!

Happy Holidays

Dear reader (not to be confused with Dear Leader), thanks so much for spending some time with my words and pictures, but mostly words, this year. It was a fun one. Hope your holiday is filled with lots of happiness…however you derive it.

Inbox of Immaturity is Back…Kinda

Sure, it’s nice to have a handful of time-wasting links in one place; however, I started to find that by the time I posted them the links were old news. Therefore, I think I’m going to resurrect the Inbox of Immaturity on Twitter.

But given it’s a snowy Friday morning, I figured I’d give you a couple cozy videos. Plus, I wanted to ask (in an accusatory way): How have none of my “friends” told me that these exist? Natalie and Rashida. Come on. Sure, there’s funnier stuff on the site but seriously. My favorite of the three:

As for one of the best series of videos on FoD, Zach G. is back with his third installment of “Between Two Ferns.” This time with John Hamm. So you know, it gets a little inappropriate at times but the “Websites” part is classic.

The NBA Is (Way) Younger than John McCain

Between work, jamming to get my Age of Conversation chapter done, running, NBA Playoffs and brainstorming excuses, I’ve had limited time to scour the Internet for things that make you go ha. (Yes, that’s a C&C Music Factory reference.) So, some of these are old and coldplayed out but I hope a complete waste of time in a good way.

First, let’s kick it off with some links connected to my excuse. Here’s a little action about declaring for the NBA Draft (via kenyatta via kottke) as well as an NBA nickname generator. (I’m Seth “Margarine” Gaffney.)

Second, for any of you players or playettes going out this weekend, take a quick look at this text dating primer. For those staying in watching reruns of SBTB the College Years, this Onion article is all you.

Third, and getting a bit grosser, peep yet another instant Nick Thune classic on FoD. And I dare you to tell me that Nick doesn’t look Palek from HBO’s Tell Me You Love Me. That makes me want to pull a Sue Simmons (via @akispicer).

Fourth and lastly, I’ve rather enjoyed this site: Things Younger than Republican Candidate (and Oh, Did I Forget to Mention “War Hero”) John McCain (via avin on Fallon Planning Blog).

Preparing Immaturity for Cinco de Mayo

Any frequent readers know I’m pretty obsessed with Someecards (also note you can now follow the company on twitter). So if you’re not a freq like me (props to Adina Howard) or you’re just forgetful, take a look back at that site in order to get some send-worthy stuff for Cinco de Mayo. Like this perhaps:

As for some other immaturity to get you through the rest of Friday…

Bill Hicks on Marketing via Stuart Smith email – not to be confused with Gil Hicks of Mallrats fame who kisses like a jackhammer in with some pressure and when he’s done you’re not the same…you’re changed.

And lastly, I saw this on the news last night and Jake reminded me about it today. It’s not funny…except for the part when the boy says his punishment should be a weekend without video games.
