We’re moving offices tomorrow. My day job, that is. The Steady Burn offices remain intact – we’re going to do a few more rounds of funding before we explore further capital gains, probably after we see if the world exists after 2012.

On the short list of wants for my new office is one of those Nerf basketball hoops that you hang over the door. Something subtle like this…

I figure it will impress my clients, as well as make the Fresh Direct delivery guys want to be me. While I peruse e-commerce for the perfect hoop, check out these Top 8 Moments in Nerf Basketball History…

Leave more suggestions for ways I can heighten the new office aesthetic in the comments.

This was the funniest movie I’ve seen in a theatre since Old School (not to be all up in Todd Phillips’ – director of both – jock).

In terms of Power Ranking the cast, Ed Helm’s (The Office, SNL) is definitely overshadowed by Bradley Cooper. And both are left to bow in the wake of Zach Galifianakis – who owes us an explanation for a certain something that happened in the credits. But I got to hand it to Helms. He held his own as the wimpy guy in the crew, who is not all gutless and annoying (anyone disagree?) Check out Helms’ here flexing the golden pipes during the we need a montage moment of the movie (apologies for the promotional nature of this particular video)…

That’s but one iota of the knock down, drag out hilarity. Don’t take my word for it, check out this post from Deadline Hollywod on how The Hangover was Made (H/T to Pop Candy for that link). Or better yet, don’t ask questions and just go see the movie.

The subtext to these Brits reading a scene from a porno about Sarah Palin – somebody (an American, that you’ve heard of) hates Sarah Palin that much that he made a porno to spite her!
