Go Away

David Blaine, whose mission in life is to constantly top his own stupidity, has announced his next cry for attention: He will hang upside-down from a six-story highwire above Central Park for three days and two nights. During this time he must (obviously) sleep upside-down and will not be allowed to eat. Sounds fun. Oh, and this is going to be televised on national television Sept. 24 so everybody can join in the absurdity.

For those who will be in New York during this stunt, David wants you to stop by and say hello: "There are always some crazy things. I get flashed quite often. Luckily, mostly from girls." Yeah, luckily.

Later, Blaine plans to break the world record for sleep deprivation, which should be easier than his failed attempt at abstaining from being a tool.

the thing about this dude is that his actual magic tricks are kind of cool. he had some special about 5 years ago and he did "man on the street" kind of stuff like go into a bar with a deck of cards and make the cards appear in people's beer bottles. a lot of his tricks are truly mind bottling.

but seriously? living in a box? holding your breath? hanging upside down? seriously, blaine. stop it.

Psst! David!

I think only your PANTS that are on FIRE need to hang on the telephone wire when you tell a lie.

You don't have to be IN THE PANTS. They hang there BY THEMSELVES.

Now be still and quit acting crazy.

I'm going to speculate.. that when Mr Blane was a little boy, he didn't get much attention… No "yah!' for his first steps, no applause for his first poop on the potty… so his adult life is reduced to.. well… being David Blane. ugh.

No. 13 queencrone says:

I like when you speculate, Sprout!

Now I am going to speculate for a moment.

(And I'll also be talking to David Blaine in the first person, like he can really hear me. Bear with me.)

David, did the Democrats put you up to these antics?

This upside-down stuff, and this sleep deprivation stuff?

And this stuff where some folks show you signs of support in the avenue of things that you have faith in?

(For you it is getting flashed by women. For McCain, it is a cross in the sand.
Or is that Solzhenitsyn? I get that part confused.)

Anyway, David, are you trying to steal McCain's thunder? I think you are! :-)
