Yes I do watch YouTube all day.
Adam vs. Alton
28 August 2007 | broken arm, people, photoshop | No Responses
The striking similarities between these two nerds can no longer go unnoticed. Both star in popular television shows. Both use science to explain heady subjects. Both have obsessive fans. Both are theatrical showmen with nerdy spectacles. This raises several questions for me. Are theses two geeks long lost brothers, seperated at birth, only to grow into supernerds in thier respective fields? And if so, will they ever reunite to become a dynamic-duo of nerdiness? Most importantly, who would win in a fight? C’mon Adam…C’mon Alton…it’s so obvious…sign up for celebrity deathmatch already.
Here’s The Pitch. It’s becoming an itch.

Are you a chef or cook with exciting ideas about food? Have you ever wondered what it would take to set up a blog showcasing your beautifully delicious food? Could that blog be part of a community where other chefs like you can exchange ideas? Can you could send pictures, directly from your phone of specials or ideas to the web? Yes, you can. And we can help. Diana Cicco of Food Arts magazine writes that “A blog is a low cost way to build word of mouth and buzz about your restaurant or yourself.” A blog can also be a useful way of brainstorming with other chefs, and spreading knowledge and passion about food. We can bulid a website featuring a blog, recipes, pictures that you can easily update from phone, home, or restaurant. Imagine you were opening a new place, or developing an exciting new menu, you could get customers excited about the food before they even ate it. A simple text message could quickly post to your site, creating buzz on the web about all your culinary adventures. These blogs will all link together to form a community where users can access a wealth of information. Sound interesting? Right now we are searching for some talented people to make up our core users, chefs who are willing to publish rich content about food and kitchen life.

Acute Cabin Fever

Look, I learned the intricate ways of photoshop and brought forth the ultimate image! Actually this is a real conversation that I witnessed between my dog and my brother’s cat. They often converse in speech bubbles that can only be read with a universal translator. Don’t go looking for intelligent thought here. All you’ll find are salmonberries.
This not the greatest blog in the world…

This is just a tribute to it’s creator, Jaybill. Without his technical expertise and understanding patience, mrjeffmccarthy.com would just be a big pile of cyber-wishes. So thanks brother, for helping me get this site off the ground, it has been a huge source of entertainment as well as an alleviation of boredom during a hard time. I don’t think I’ll be winning any Photoshop contests with this one, but at least Jaybill is one step closer to his life-long dream of being black. You can check out real pictures of my friends and family in my new photo gallery, called Cool People.
Fries With One Hand

If I can make a custard with one arm, then I can make bread pudding. If I can make bread pudding, then I can deep fry it. Jaybill came up with idea as a joke, but I really liked the idea of taking old croissants, soaking them in custard, baking them in a waterbath, breading them with panko, and then deep frying them. Anyway here’s Panko-Fried Chocolate Bread Pudding. PFBP for short. Check out how to make it in my new Recipes section.
The Cave

There’s nothing to do when you get hurt but crack a beer, take some drugs, go into the cave and pop in Goonies. The cave is where you pull the shades, shut the lights, turn off your phone. and stay there till the next day. You might also go to the cave with a really bad hangover. Its also where One Eyed Willy hangs out, in his boat, waiting for YOU to come and steal his treasure.
Radial Head Fracture

Ouch…I think the quote of the day was by my Dad “Well you used to bend, but now you snap!” Two broken bones in as many years…from skateboarding! I’m getting old! In the McCarthy tradition I took this photo in the ER, and it actually looks semi normal compared to how it looked right when I injured it. The” ’s’ deformation” it had right when it broke was a bit much for me to look at…so I straightened it. This will definitely require surgery. I’ll be outta commission for awhile I guess.
