Owen Wilson didn’t die. He’s never even BEEN to Mount Vesuvius. #celebritydeathhoax
I think everything I’m working towards is just trying to get namechecked in a rap song.

So sweet.
Me: It’s probably because I don’t have emotions.
Boyfriend: That’s not true. You have emotions; revenge is one, there’s also drunk and sarcastic.
Me: I hate you.
Boyfriend: Oh! Hate. There’s another one! See, you do so have emotions.

100interviews:
Truthfully, when I think of someone who is an inventor, my mind goes immediately to the Nickelodeon cartoon ‘Rugrats’ from my childhood. It’s not a leap; the father on the show, Stu Pickles, was an inventor. He’d comically bungle about with pieces of inventions and when he’d finally…

After a little while of talking to Jeff MacKinnon, I ask if he’s one of those guys who is “dumbly charismatic.” I have a real way with words in conversations, if you guys haven’t figured that out about me yet. Luckily, Jeff laughs.
“I’d like to think I’m charmingly charismatic,” he…

“There are two types of girls — ones who will let you photograph them naked and ones who will let you photograph them naked from the neck down,” Ronen Verbit tells me. “There is no third type that I’ve encountered. Every time a girl asks, ‘But how do you make the girls comfortable?’…

Behind 100 Interviews: Sex, Porn, and Celibacy All...
By coincidence this week, both of my 100 Interviews had to do very much with sex.
One, which I posted, was Eitan, someone choosing to remain celibate until marriage and the other, which I have not yet posted, was about Ronen, someone who takes naked pictures of others.
I didn’t ask Eitan this during our interview, because I didn’t think it was something he could answer from lack of...

For this interview, I knew it’d be easy to find a female choosing to save herself for marriage, so naturally, because I like to make things difficult for myself, I decided I wanted to interview a guy. But first, let’s take a step back.
Two weeks ago, a Youtube music video of a Yeshiva…

Me: You’re a regular barrel of monkeys, Dean.

Me: Who would be the Will Ferrell of monkeys?

Perfection.
Skyping with my parents:
Me: “I’m mainly motivated by two things; making you guys proud and getting revenge on everyone who’s ever doubted me.”
Mom: “Aw, that’s so sweet, honey but really, your father and I are already proud of you.”
Dad: “Yeah, you just focus on the getting revenge part for now.”

Brian Foley is very serious for a clown.

Not us; my dad doesn’t have any gray hair, that jerk.
Three of the four 100 Interviews I did in Florida last week, I took my dad along with me.
Having pizza lunch in Union Square with my friend Nick at a place between our two offices, I told him I was going to be conducting some interviews at home, friends of my father’s.
Knowing my dad, Nick laughed, “Oh yeah? Which...

Anonymous asked: I looked through your list to see if I met any of your 100 interview qualifications. The best qualification I met was already taken. My husband and I have been married 9 years and we met online. What's really cool is we met online in April, in person on Memorial Day, and we got married Labor Day the same year. I've also saved a couple of lives, but not in any real dramatic sort of...

3. Get sexier!
Now that you’ve captured the hearts, minds and panties of Jewish ladies everywhere, may I suggest stepping it up a notch?
Unbutton the top button on those white shirts. Use silk sheets as your backgrounds. Start covering slow jamz. Maybe some Boyz II Men? “I’ll Make Love To You (When We’re Married)” — Something like that.

I'm not sure how this works with the rules of your interviews, but I know some people in 3 of those categories...do you have to meet the people on your own or can you be "set up" with them for the interview?

Steph Carcieri is a lot of fun. I meet up with her and a friend of hers at a restaurant in Boston and when my boyfriend comes to pick me up afterward, I practically fling myself into his car, shouting, “THAT AMPUTEE GOT ME DRUNK.”
It is not my finest moment.

Another great story from a friend of my dad’s!
This is an excerpt from my reply to someone who messaged me saying that I was being “hurtful” to the Maccabeats, specifically to “Teddy Bear Jew,” in his opinion since he didn’t know them personally. He said the “feather in [my] cap” wasn’t worth embarrassing them with the post. This was posted in its entirety about a minute ago but he requested we...

Listen, I went to a secular hedonistic homo-loving feel-goodery for college. I dated an Irish Catholic who I lived with IN SIN for two years. Turkey and cheese sandwiches complete me.
But I have to admit it. These Yeshiva University boys singing about Chanukkah are literally everything I want in a man.
I have resisted this type of guy for a long, long time. But I think there’s some...
