I'm a web developer for Rooftop Comedy a grad student at USF, and a fan of the Golden State Warriors. This is a collection of stuff that I find interesting.
Papalote’s salsa has drawn the attention of countless media outlets, the Yelpers and was, no doubt, instrumental in the the joint’s burrito battle win over Bobby Flay in that epic Throwdown earlier this year. So you’ll be delighted to learn the miraculous condiment shall be available for retail sale come November. Agressive Panhandler provides further detail on this matter.
A renegade artist breaking down barriers in search of love and redemption…. an hallucinogenic ride through a prophetic masterpiece that rocked a generation…. a work of art put on trial for obscenity…. HOWL tells the unlikely story of a poem that sparked the counter-culture.
President Barack Obama jokingly puts his toe on the scale as Trip Director Marvin Nicholson, unaware to the President’s action, weighs himself as the presidential entourage passed through the volleyball locker room at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, Aug. 9, 2010.
The largest U.S. websites are installing new and intrusive consumer-tracking technologies on the computers of people visiting their sites—in some cases, more than 100 tracking tools at a time—a Wall Street Journal investigation has found.
Today is Chris Casey’s last day at Rooftop Comedy. Chris has been an indispensable member of the Rooftop family, a great friend to get happy hour drinks with, a voracious Warriors fan, a connoisseur of internet videos, and a beacon of hope in an unforgiving world.
We could think of no better way to send him off than to have his favorite basketball player, former Golden State Warrior (and current New York Knick) Ronny Turiaf, share some of his feelings on this momentous day.
Take it away, Ronny.
Hello Christopher. It is me, Ronny Turiaf. Your favorite basketball player. I understand that you are leaving Rooftop Comedy to pursue your education. I know the feeling because I also left my home of France to study at Gonzaga University. I know the value of an education and the value of basketball. I also know the value of a large, un-athletic French man with corn rows. (4 million dollars a year with a 4.3M player option for 2011-12.)
I also understand leaving something behind that you love very much, as I recently had to make the difficult decision to leave the Golden State Warriors, the 2nd best NBA team in Northern California, for the New York Knicks. Well, I did not make the decision, I was in fact traded. However, that did not make it any easier to leave behind the Warriors, and you, and all of my fans.
Your coworkers tell me that you are a beloved member of the staff and that your contributions will be sorely missed. I believe them, because they showed me a picture of you, and you just seem like that kind of a dude. You have cool tattoos, and because I am French, I appreciate all things that are cool. You also have very kind eyes. Because I am French I appreciate that as well.
Your colleagues would like me to tell you that they wish you the best. They consider you a dear friend. They want only your greatest happiness. They cannot imagine how the company will run without you, because their imaginations have been diminished by American entertainment. Jersey Shore at lunch will be very difficult to bear in your absence but they will try, and they will succeed, because to succeed is to be American, and Rooftop Comedy is located in America. It is important for you to know these things.
I would like to thank you personally for being such a tremendous fan of the Warriors as well. I am told that you have collected much memorabilia and I am hoping that this continues even without a desire to upstage a Lakers fan. I hope also that one day you and I will watch a movie together, or an episode of Family Guy.
You are an amazing man and also a very good boy. Please continue to be great. I would like to leave you now with a quote from my favorite movie, Amélie: ‘I’m Tony Montana! You fuck with me, you fuckin’ with the best!’ I do not know how but this means that you and I are best friends.
