Burly men with beverages!

For example: 

Please share your photographs with us!

Also, Nat & Marie, might I suggest a ‘Things we’d like to see more of’ for next week…how bout “Hot shirtless men with washboard abs and beverages”? Just a suggestion…

@TaCaGo

This is what the world was talking about this week!

1. The Three A’s of Awesome - Toronto’s TedX session with Neil Pasricha (the author of the blog 1000 Awesome Things)

2. 4-icon challenge - Kyle Tezak, a visual designer from Wisconsin, has put together the 4-icon challenge. He’s attempting to sum up famous movies in only 4 icons. 

3. “It’s a Shore Thing” - Snooki’s book made it to the New York Times Bestseller list.

4. Nat & Marie have lost all faith in the NYT Bestseller list. 

I refuse to feel guilty so am I in denial? Jersey Shore is a perfect example of everything that makes reality tv so great: real people doing what they do in the presence of booze, food, sun and pre-paid rent. Throw some cameras in the mix and a willingness to throw cuffs and you got me a show that’s got me love fo’ life.

On Ronnie & Sam

This relationship is the classic rookie mistake. It’s classified as the “DTF but WTF!?hook up” that normally happens to folks who want a relationship to surf them over to the next, and preferably, real relationship. If they were smarter, they would endit. But they aren’t and that’s why this is… JERSEY SHORE!

On Vinny’s Wang

omg. He needs to get over it. He’s got weird eyes, he’s turning into a dick and seriously, he just discovered how big it is? Shut up. He has a university degree so he’s smart enough to know that he’s just setting himself up to work in porn. You know who else has an epic wang of greatness? Jamiroquai. 

On The Situation

Looks like a lucky troll who works out. But I somehow want to be his friend.

On Snooki

There are the 3 P’s to Snooks. 1. Poof. Her signature hairstyle. Weirdly looks hot on Nat as well. 2. Pickles. She’s fricken’ looooves pickles (and who wouldn’t they are delicious) and 3. Poop. When nervous she takes a deuce. *le sigh* Snooki was genetically engineered to be a reality star. Guaranteed she will fall into one fountain while taping the 4th season in Italy. I’m sure she’s already practicing.

On J-Woww

JWoww is so cool.

On Pauly D

I wouldn’t kick him outta the bed for eating crackers.

On Deana

An alcohol powered bi-curious anthropomorphic hamster/dental hygienist. Useful and entertaining = a total #WIN.

The End.

1. The Avenue-Brand new online series premiered yesterday on YouTube called “The Avenue.” It’s eight 15 minute episodes and follows around YouTube personality, Gregory Gorgeous, as he makes his mark on the city of Toronto. He has an entourage of four girlfriends and they deal with drama and enemies while they climb their way to the top. Will you watch?

2. HotWheels VGA Racer- a toy car with a video camera under the hood. Captures video while it races & plays it back on a .95 inch LCD that displays it. What sinister applications does it have?

3. Coenfographic - Infographic that illustrates 25+ years of Coen Brothers

4. Homemade Sex Toys - In the era of hackers who like to hack just about anything, how about within the area of sex? Like DIY sex toys!

5. Cracked.com’s 8 Most Masculine Foreign Movie Posters ever.

Personal Fave,

@TaCaGo

What you missed:

-Snooki gets out of jail; no more drinking
-Jwoww gets closer to Roger and breaks up with Tom
-They meet Ronnie’s twin
-Pauly D and Vinny are HILARIOUS re: the letter to Sam

What you can expect in the near future!
Snooki and Jwoww get their own spinoff! No hook, they’re just going to be themselves…I’d watch. More here!

a) Oscar Buzzzzzz-Nominations came out! TEN movies nominated for Best Picture! Which do you think should win? All nominations here!

b) Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Profile gets hacked!-I wonder if Mark offered the hacker a job! Post received 1,800 likes and almost 500 comments before the page disappeared!

“Let the hacking begin. If facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn’t Facebook let its users invest in Facebook in a social way? Why not transform Facebook into a ‘social business’ the way Nobel Price winner Muhammad Yunus described it? What do you think? #hackercup2011”

c) Oprah has a long lost sister named Patricia

d) Apple is getting rid of the Home Button on iPad 2 and iPhone 5

 Sources revealed to BGR.com that employees are already testing out “Multi-touch Gestures” for the iPad 2 on the Apple Campus.

          o Multi-touch gestures includes 4-5 fingers to pinch the Home Screen; swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar; and swipe left or right between apps.         
e) Old Spice Guy is back!

Mmm a Shandy is Dandy!

All you’ll need is some beer and some gingerale. 3/4 glass of beer 1/4 Gingerale! Easy as pie, and tasty too! We obviously only use Pabst Blue Ribbon for our Shandy’s!

Well that’s all for now folks! Thanks for tuning into the show. Episode 15 airs Wednesday January 26th at 9pm on natandmarie.com!

Muchos love,

@TaCaGo

Let us know what you think on the following hipster related items, are they as Hip as a hippopotamus rocking old school Converse or just given the hipster rap by association?

 1. iPods

Nat & Marie say -Hipster. How else do they listen to Belle & Sebastien AND have a device that allows them to conveniently share their photography. Besides, Microsoft Zune is impossible to sync with a MacBook Pro

2. Scensters

Nat & Marie say -Not. While a Scenester may adopt Hipster culture, they will only do so when it’s fashionable to do so

3. Craigslist

Nat & Marie say -Not. While products purchased may be purchased by Hipsters, this is not an exclusive enclave

4. GreenPeace

Nat & Marie say -Not. Too corporate

5. Jesus

Nat & Marie say -Hipster. As style icon and affordable ironic art. As well Jesus himself was semi-buddhist AND he made his own wine.

What do you think? Please weigh in in the comments section!

You’ve most likely heard that the signs of the Zodiac have changed due to Ophiuchus the new constellation! It’s kind of confusing because apparently signs changing only effects those born after 2009, and it’s mostly an Astrology change not a Horoscope change, but either way the world was up in arms about it.

Meet Ophiuchus! 

OH My Gawd! Justin Bieber was trending!!! I know so out of the ordinary…but seriously it wasn’t because the Twitterverse was talking about his new bangs that he unveiled at the Globes, nor was it because his 3D biographic movie is coming out in 2 weeks (can’t wait)…It was because there was ANOTHER Justin Bieber Fake Death Hoax! The first Celebrity Fake Death Hoax of 2011 I might add. Honorable mention goes to Snoooki, who also had her own bout of Fake Death this week! Here’s what she had to say about that, “I’m not dead bitches, get real”.

Black People make up 25% of the Twitterverse and start trends like #hoodhoe

If you only get paid when yo baby daddy get paid #hoodhoe

#hoodhoe emergency kit= leggings, track glue, cab phone number, ebt card, rush visa card, boost mobile phone and pre paid legal

I don’t get that last one fully, but apparently funny, but also “racist” and demeaning trends are started and proliferated mostly by the black population on Twitter. Here’ a great article that goes into detail about the trends started and also urges black people to use their power of numbers to promote positive black culture rather than derogatory culture. Check it here!

Alay Style “JuD9e mE aLL y0u wAnT, jUSt keEp tHe VeRdiCt t0 y0uRsELf.”

Alay is an Indonesian word used to mock anyone who uses a writing style that incorporates upper and lower case letters, numbers and SMS text style printing rather than full fledged language that is taught in school. The style of writing is now referred to as Alay Style. It’s kinda confusing, this article explains the phenomenon Gr8! ««my attempt at using it!

Malaysian Prime Minister-answered his publics questions from Twitter and Facebook via youtube videos. Pretty cool seeing as the last we heard of the Malaysian Prime Minister Derek Zoolander was being brainwashed to kill him by Mugatu. More here.

Pretty trendy,

@TaCaGo

Pre-Show with @RobSarj starts at 8:45pm

TTFN!

Addicts have fantasies of normal lives; taking out the garbage, cooking breakfast, cleaning house. I have no drug addiction, so I have no excuse.

I’m sitting, like I do for a bit everyday, looking out the window staring straight into the face of progress. Each one, taller than the last, reflects the light and blocks the sun. A monument of someone’s dream, their fantasy to build the most striking urban structure. In them are housed thousands of people working towards their dreams, living their normal lives, taking out the garbage, cooking breakfast, cleaning house and my thoughts go back to: I hate tall buildings, they block the view.

Online, the view is infinite. We have built a universe for the 9-5 deities to house their dreams and alter-egos. One connection allows someone to reconnect to the part of them they thought they lost when they resigned their dreams to be that office whatever or counter-something. For me, I build. I build out the fantasies that I had before I dreamed about taking out the garbage, cooking breakfast or cleaning house. I reconnect with a part of me that feels real and natural.

My dream? My dream is to keep fantasizing about taking out the garbage, cooking breakfast and cleaning house because now it’s time to work.

Nat & Marie is awesome. Thank you to everyone who tunes in. You’re all amazing. You’re making 1 dream come true which makes you all the most powerful people in the world.
