Oh, hi.

Facebook brought us a very special gift today. A friend of a friend posted a little photographic gem from her trip to Greece. We don’t even know her. She just thought it was funny that a gyros place would advertise with a poster that reads “Trophy Wife” on it. We, however, think it’s deadly serious, in the AWESOMEST of ways!

Yes, it’s real. That’s right, suckas. My mug is selling slow-roasted lamb in Greece to unsuspecting tourists. Just like I always told my mom it would. Well, who’s laughing now, “Mom?”

Trophy Wife 5th Anniversary Show - Wed 4/7 9pm @ iOWest

The lifespan of a Harold Team is like that of a dog - every year together is equivalent to about 7 real-people years. This year, Trophy Wife turns 5, making us essentially 35 years old in the real world. And not to toot our own horn, but we're still looking and feeling pretty damn good for our age.

While it's true that we don't get to the gym as much as we'd like, we're still relatively trim and can keep up with the kids - for the most part. And yes, we've discovered our fair share of gray hairs, and it seems like more and more of that hair is ending up in the drain every day. But that's nothing a little peroxide and creative combing can't fix.

Most importantly, though - and not to be crude but - we can still fuck like a goddamn stallion. Hell, we consider ourselves at our sexual peak these days. Sure, there are younger, better looking Harold Teams out there. But you're talking about the experience of seasoned professionals here. We've been at this for quite some time and everyone knows it. I mean, look at the way the girls at the office flirt with us. We know what they talk about when we leave the room. We're hip.

So join us at iO this Wednesday night as we celebrate our 5th anniversary. It'll be a night full of surprises - and if you play your cards right, we might just dry hump you in the broom closet. Because as everyone knows - the traditional 5th anniversary gift is wood.

Trophy Wife 4th Anniversary Show - Wed. @ 9pm

It’s that time….Trophy Wife’s fourth anniversary.

We’re just gonna put something out there – the fourth anniversary sucks. Don’t get us wrong. Four blissful years of marriage, and we’ve rocked each anniversary in true Trophy Wife style till now.

The traditional first anniversary gift is paper, and on that anniversary we all made a thousand paper cranes, then stood naked in the surf and floated them away while singing each other traditional Japanese paper crane songs. Then we all boned like we’d just met in a bar. Great. Super romantic. We’re awesome.

Second anniversary. Cotton. We hand stitched organic cotton tighty whities for each other and then modeled them for some really arty black and white photographs. Then we boned.

Third anniversary. Leather. We don’t even have to say it, do we?  In a nutshell:  we put leather everywhere, we wore leather. Then we boned. “Leather is the easiest anniversary,” said Grandma, and she was right.

The traditional gift for a fourth anniversary is Fruit or Flowers. Come on. Fruit or Flowers?

We racked our brains and maybe we’re just experiencing that soul-crushing ennui that sets in around the fourth year of any commitment, but we couldn’t think of a really rad way to bone to fruit and flowers.

Instead we decided to just do a Fourth Anniversary Show and hope that brings the spark back.

So will you come to it?  All we need are your butts in the seats to bring the old magic back and make us feel like we’re still a crazy young improv team that just got thrown together.

Then we’ll all laugh and drink together and pretend that lifelong commitment is a good idea!  Who’s IN

Tim vs. CityWalk

A couple weeks ago, Danny Choo posted a video on Boing Boing that documented Osaka residents’ willingness to play along when shot at with an invisible gun. We thought it would be interesting to see if Americans would do the same. So Tim and I headed over to Universal CityWalk to find out. The results were surprising.

Here’s the original Japanese video:

And here’s our American version:

I don’t just love dogs. I love to eat with dogs. A little later, I’m gonna eat this dog.
