inothernews: German artist Jan Vormann has gone around the world, patching up holes in walls and other structures with Lego bricks.  Now the New York Post says he’s gotten around to doing the same here in New York City, but only this one remains, on a building across from Penn Station in Manhattan. Sadly, it’s started to fall apart, or has been vandalized.  I left the pieces where I found them - on the sidewalk.  The rest of Vormann’s “patch” is still there.  Hopefully it’ll stay.

“School Spirit: Columbia wins this category, hands down. Granted, it was Senior Night, which is more likely to bring out a supportive crowd to send off graduating seniors, but the stands were packed and lively. All the elements are in place here: cheerleaders, a mascot (Roar-ee. Get it?), and last but not least, Columbia’s smart-ass student band (the Columbia University Marching Band, or C.U.M.B., as the kids call it). From the pregame introductions when they displayed a “Where’s Snooki?” sign for their New Jersey–based opponent, we knew we were in for a good time. We were right: After a questionable call on a shot-clock violation, they led a sing-songy chant ending in “You’re a bastard, referee.” (As you can probably guess, the band has seen its fair share of controversies.) Band members danced in the aisles during a rendition of “Hava Nagila.” And though we couldn’t hear a lot of what they were saying from our seats on the opposite side of the court, late in the game we’re pretty sure one of the chants involved the phrases “kill, kill, kill” and “murder, murder, mutilate.” That was maybe a bit too much — we were well into garbage time by this point — but hey, that’s school spirit to the extreme. Score: 10/10.” — NY Magazine visits Columbia’s Levin Gymnasium and “notices” the Band. Awesome.

Local TV sports reporter just said to Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte, “You’ve got five (World Series) rings. Where does the NEXT one go?” and I had a relatively dirty answer teed up and ready to go.

inothernews: thefrogman: How I prepared one Worfeus Preheat Photoshop to 350º Mix 1 part Morpheus with 1 part Worf Blend 1 Starfleet regulation phaser rifle with 1 Heckler & Koch MP5K Add 2 pinches of Nerd for flavor Stir vigorously Bake for 3 hours Let cool for 10 minutes Serve with Klingon Gagh This is effin’ awesome.  Also - and I could be wrong here - Worf is the most-aired principal in the Star Trek universe, having appeared in seven seasons of The Next Generation, four seasons of Deep Space Nine, and four TNG movies!  Michael Dorn also played a descendant of Worf’s - Colonel Worf in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Badass!!! Didn’t the Joker wear that purple suit in The Dark Knight?

rahmblr: Dec. 19, 2009 “Snowball in hand, the President chases Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel on the White House Colonnade. To escape, Rahm ran through the Rose Garden, which unfortunately for him, was knee-deep in snow.” Sen. Snowe could not be reached for comment but was apparently unharmed. Thanks for the heads up, Rebecca!
