Claudia Wells Update?

Joel emailed this boring video confirming the receipt of that goddamned "Save the clock tower" flyer I sent in July:

Well, well, well! Joel serves up another magic trick a mere FOUR DAYS after his previous effort! Bravo!

Execution: 8. MISDIRECTION!! Is that what they call "the prestige?" I need to watch that movie again.

Presentation: 6. Some decent production value here, especially with that nice plant on the china cabinet)

Criss Angel Factor: 8. Joel pulls off this (second!) levitation trick with aplomb and flair, something Criss Angel would definitely milk the shit out of.

Secret Behind The Trick: A hidden office fan, pointed upward and affixed to Joel's belt buckle.

***BREAKING EADJ NEWS***

We actually have 2 Rolly Wrap items to announce:

1) The Old Bridge Deli on 41st & Lexington, the unofficial "Home of the Rolly Wrap," has BEEN CLOSED DOWN by the City of New York! Huge orange posters on the locked doors announce to disappointed would-be Rolly Wrap eaters that the property has been seized due to tax evasion:




This legal snarl has not only bummed out hundreds of lunchgoers but has threatened to severely alter the EADJ Rolly Wrap Drawing Contest. Will this affect the deadline? Will there even be a contest now? Will we be forced to eat at that horribly overpriced Pret A Manger now? *shudder*

Most importantly, with The Old Bridge Deli closed, how can we confirm what a Rolly Wrap even looks like now? The answer to this last question is simple: Larry K remains the only person to have seen one of those things, and he has agreed to still judge the contest. EADJ has consequently sent security guards to stand guard and protect Larry's life until the contest deadline. Let's hope his memory of what a Rolly Wrap looks like stays intact for the next few weeks.

EADJ will continue to monitor the latest developments of The Old Bridge Deli's closing and of Larry's health.

2) Despite the serious governmental setback, submissions have continued to pour in. So far we have Rolly Wrap drawings from:

Joanne
Kat
Brynn
Tom

The deadline is still Wednesday, August 27 at 3pm. We are eagerly awaiting YOUR submission! Send all submissions here.

A Short List of Things I JUST Got Now.

• Peter Wolf, singer of the 80's hit song "Lights Out," was the lead singer of the J.Geils Band! I thought his voice sounded familiar. Weird!

• Allman and Woman, 1977


Shit, I just realized this was a play on the words "All Man and Woman" and not just calling Cher "Woman." I didn't catch that connection at age 7. I was just confused why Cher was cheating on Sonny.

• That first Hulk movie was terrible.


I had let my admiration for Ang Lee cloud my judgment there. The fact that at one point there was a giant, rabid poodle jumping from limb to limb in a redwood forest didn't tip it off for me. The new one is pretty cohesive if slow in places. Definitely better.
