Hello all!
I cam across a random.org variant the other day, it's http://www.textfixer.com/tools/random-words.php. The concept is the website generates random words (anywhere from 2-10) in an effort to spark creativity. I imagine a struggling writer feverishly clicking on the "generate" button until that magical alignment of a few words gives them the creative spark to write a new novel. I cal also imagine myself finding enjoyment out of simply generating words until I find a funny/telling/horrible combination.
I did that. Sometimes work is that boring. Anyways I listed the best results from each category (2-10 words). Some are funny, some are creepy and some might actually be the premise of a great story.
2 words
Birthday, Screamer - Too funny. This was my first one, THE FIRST ONE.
3 words
Blockhead, Flamboyant, Bovine - I'm imagining a cow that's a jock, but secretly just wants to do ballet.
4 words
Playground, Alarm, Moaning, Blood - A bit too cryptic for me
5 words
Envelope, Cargo, Jewel, Harm, Brood - A robbery gone horribly wrong.
6 words
Barn-burner, Pimp, Juvenile, Binding, Sleep, Crypt - A pimp attends an exciting even only to agree to a deal where the only escape...is in a BODY BAG.
7 words
Fornicator, Beautiful, Puzzle, Bed, Serenity, Banana, Hottest - This has the makings of a weird porno.
8 words
Proper, Couple, Loner, After, Jerk, Gimmick, Drifter, Bug-house - Some jerk of a con-man tricks a couple into buying something they don't need, it splits them apart and one ends up in the nut house.
9 words
Luxurious, Holiest, Martini, Crisp, Entertain, President, Helpless, Becoming, Cortex - Pope Big-Face can do nothing but dote on the new President by getting him drunk of top shelf vodka.
10 words
Blow, Gradient, Enzyme, Gripping, Bed, Deception, Wizard, Heist, Raccoon, Belt - A little boy is trapped in a dream where a raccoon belt-wearing wizard uses corrosive enzymes to eat through the walls of a bank, pulling off the greatest heist the town had ever seen.
This got really hard as more words were added, but wow it's a lot of fun.

@Midnight: It's good. Watch it!
HELLO!
If you guys haven't heard the news - @Midnight is a fantastic show. Here's the premise: It's a comedy game show hosted by Chris Hardwick (founder of The Nerdist) where a panel of 3 comedians compete in quiz/comedy events. Points are given out (mostly) to comedians with right/funny answers, and then the top 2 highest point getters duke it out in a final event. All in all it's an incredibly entertaining show, it brushes you up on current events and it honestly puts me in stitches. I'm listing some of my favorite games and moments from the show, from slightly less funny but still funny to funniest.
Oh, and the show is available on Hulu and you can watch it at midnights on Comedy Central.
5. CringeWorthy
One of the lightning round games, it's a very simple concept. The contestants get 60 seconds to string together 3 words that make Chris cringe. It's an idea from Reddit that the show borrowed, so they don't get full credit. But the comedians do. Watch it!
This is easily one of the best panels, and Doug Benson is high as balls. My personal favorite (not from this clip) is "Discrete Orphan Rentals."
4. Sweet Emoji
Another great game, Sweet Emoji puts up a few Emoji on the screen and asks the contestants to construct a sentence from them. This round in particular is amazing: Watch it!
3. Chuck E. Cheese or Jail?
This game is fucking hilarious. Apparently the Yelp reviews for Chuck E. Cheese - a kid's wonderland, and jail - you know, jail are eerily similar. Watch it!
This one also has Rhys Darby which makes it even better.
2. #FailedApps - Kumail Nanjiani
One of the best (and recurring) games on the show is #HashtagWars, where the comedians buzz in with funny hashtags based on the category. For the #FailedApps segment, this genius Kumail came up with the "John Wilkes Photo Booth."
1. Boat load of friends - or basically anything with Kyle Kinane in it
So Kyle Kinane (aka the voice of Comedy Central) is a hilarious individual. He's been on the show a few times now, and a "best of" compilation video has been created for him. My personal favorite comes at the 1:50-2:05 minute mark, where the contestants respond to a Facebook event: a racist 21st birthday party.
Watch it!
Boat load. This man is a genius.

Seafood!
HELLO!
In one of my previous blogs (talking about the foods I've grown to love) I mentioned that I would make a list of my favorite seafood. It was kind of meant as a joke, but after this past weekend where I had the most delicious seafood I'll ever have, I decided to make it a reality.
For anyone that doesn't know, Aquitaine (http://www.aquitaineboston.com/) is a French Bistro in the Boston area. Aquitaine happens to have some incredible seafood, specifically number one on my list. I'd recommend you heading over there for some fancy schmancy dining if you're in the Boston area.
This upcoming list isn't complete, I'm trying new stuff all the time! As for right now though, this is the...
OFFICIAL POWER RANKINGS LIST OF MY FAVORITE SEAFOOD
1. Lemon Sole Meuniere (from Aquitaine)
2. Halibut - really any kind. This stuff is delicious.
3. A greasy plate of fish and chips (more than likely the fish is cod)
4. Mussels En Cassoulette (also from Aquitaine)
5. Fried Calamari
6. Eel sushi
7. New England clam chowder (not that New York bullshit)
8. Swordfish
9. Salmon
10. Lobster
.

9001. Oysters

90000001. Canned Tuna
