I WANT THIS: Manual Triumph Adler Tippa Type Writer
While I have no discernible need for it, this typewriter is just the kind of thing that screams "Ryan, buy me and use me for no real reason!"
Lebron James With the Save and Assist
Let's not talk about the Knicks. I didn't watch the 2nd half so in my mind, whatever happened didn't happen. Let's talk about this video - Jesus Christ, Lebron James is incredible.
Cat Tetris?
I've been playing a lot of Tetris on my phone lately but I will admit if the cubes were shaped like cats, I'd probably play even more.
Oh My God You Guys! - Amar'e
I was just ecstatic as the Knicks when they found out that they beat the Celtics/D'Antoni got them Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows 2 for Christmas.
A Christmas Thank You Note To Carmelo Anthony
Dear Carmelo Anthony,
Thanks for that Christmas gift of 38/8/3 and a win over the Celts. I really missed watching you and the rest of the Knicks play meaningful basketball. With that being said, on to the next one.
Your fan,
Ryan Apple Banana

JAMS: Neutral Milk Hotel - My Dream Girl Don't Exist
If it was up to me, I'd just lay out on the couch all day and listen to the NMH box set. Damn you, Christmas responsibilities.
It Peaks With the Pic of Mike Breen and Clyde
Not quite the rock remix of "All About the Benjamins" but a rock version of "GO NY GO NY GO" is 100 times better than that Swiss Beats version that was all the rage during the playoffs.
The Knicks Big Men Are Going Hunting
Harrellson: “What’s up, fresh?”(via)
Stoudemire: “What’s up, smooth?
Harrellson: “Where we gonna hunt?”
Stoudemire: “We’re gonna hunt in South Florida. You know what we’re gonna hunt down there, right? We’re gonna hunt LeBron and D-Wade. I got the rifle, man.”
Someone call one of the those outdoor channels and tell 'em to green light a hunting show with Amar'e and Jorts.
‘He’s a reindeer! And his nose is red."

You want to see Fucked Up preform OAB My Year in Lists finalist David Comes to Life in full from Le Poission Rouge? You got it!
But What Happens to Avery Jessup?
No lie, the fate of Avery Jessup on 30 Rock was one of the first things I thought of upon hearing the news of Kim Jong Il's death.
I Miss Andy Too, Where's My Medal?
The fact that STAT had this made for Landry Fields is among the greatest things in the history of professional basketball.
Broken Record But Louis CK is the Best
So we've all watched the Louis CK Live at the Beacon Theater thing by now, right? Good. I think we can all come to the mutual agreement that he's on a whole other level right now, several levels higher than anyone else currently in the comedy game right now.
Go Go Garbage Bear
I'm not going to lie but if this was fake comic was based on a true story was real, it'd be at the top of my to read this.
I WANT THIS: Los Angeles Lob City Shirt
Someone may have ordered a Los Angeles Lob City shirt this morning. Someone might also be all in on the Blake Griffin/Chris Paul Clips as his "West Coast team." That someone might be me.

"Jon" from Delocated on a Bear Skin Rug
The DVD set for Seasons 1 and 2 to be released in January, AND season 3 of Delocated in February. Whoomp there it is.

Breaking news, the Knicks point guard depth chart is as followed Bill Murray, DWTDD, Mike Bibby.
Amar'e, Tyson, and "Melo, The ATM
NBA lockout hero, James Dolan and his three finest stallions who I'm hoping he'll ride to a NBA championship one of these days.
Jason Pierre Paul, Defensive Player of the Year
I just want to point to this tweet when the G-Men drafted Jason Pierre Paul by yours truly dated April 22, 2010. Seriously after that performance last night, someone buy me his jersey already in a men's medium.
Rain and Thunder, Wind and Haze, They're Bound for Better Days
I might sound a little redundant here but these Balki and Cousin Larry Appleton action figures are quite perfect.

Leslie Knopp and Coach Eric Taylor, our two natural treasures.
GIF Friday: David Stern Throwin Down on the CP3 Deal
Did anyone bother to tell the league that the Lakers would be trading their 2nd/3rd best player in the Chris Paul deal? Did anyone tell the owners that even if CP3 gets to free agency, he's not going to the Cavs or the Bucks or the Bobcats? Did anyone come to the realization that the NBA is now just like your fantasy league? Did anyone tell anyone that the lockout was about something?
Does Grant Hill Even Wear Filas Anymore?
You better get these in an orange and blue colorway because Grant Hill is "on the verge" of signing with the Knicks.
