They're calling it a cross between recess and boot camp.
If you're looking for a workout routine that combines jump rope, tug-o-war, relay races, and punk rock tunes, then Punk Rope might be for you.
Punk Rope is available on DVD online at PunkRope.com. This drill is called shark tag, I believe...

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh handled Cuba to improve to 2-0. What is that thing on her arm? Is it a tattoo? Is it fur?

...they actually explained Walsh's shoulder during the broadcast, but I was distracted by the athletic grace and superior team chemistry. (and the booty-action)
MGMT went from covering This Must Be the Place at Zonker Harris (??) Day, to this...
Friday night, I went to an event that was described to me prior as a midget bullfight where free tequila would be served. It wasn’t so much that I wanted to go, as that I felt morally responsible to.
Is bullfighting even legal in New York!? I thought, as we made our way out to this spectacle. It was out by the Brooklyn Bridge; I presumed at some abandoned warehouse where I would be frisked for weapons and contraband on the way in. Maybe there would be reckless gambling involved!
Turns out there were no bulls. No midgets! The event was actually a book release party at a harmless bookstore (read: no abandoned warehouse, no gambling whatsoever). Thankfully, the free tequila was not a myth, and we drank that liquid opium in the children’s section and read Where The Wild Things Are.
The party was for the release of Enanitos Toreros by Livia Corona. She spent almost a decade living in Mexico at a dwarf colony, the residents of which are huge bullfighting enthusiasts, see for yourself:
I hope you stuck with that until the :22 point. Enanitos Toreros is in stores now!
Toad style Chessmaster The RZA will be at the Chelsea Arts Center in Manhattan on Saturday to host and take part in a fast-paced, single elimination speed chess tournament.
Other celebrities (Wu-Tang members?) are expected to play, as well as two-time American Women's Chess Champion Jennifer Shahade. The Wuchess.com blog claims that the 'Wuchess Team' will making an appearance.

I used to wreck house in Battle Chess on original Nintendo. There is no question I would get it handed to me here.
Pearl Jam was scheduled to come on at 8:45. They were on the stage, full-bore, at 8:45. And they stayed there for practically three hours. The intermission was barely long enough for me to go pee.
It was about :38 seconds into the show before Eddie Vedder'd the mic
Back by popular – or dare I say, rabid – demand, this Saturday we will be holding the 2nd Semi-Annual PBR Tour in New York City.
For those of you not in the know, this is your standard bar crawl. Unique to this is that all the watering holes have been carefully selected based on the fact that they sell cans of PBR for $2.
We called each bar- claiming to be Mr. Pabst - confirming ample stock.
It’s starts at 4 p.m. EST at Ace Bar, and the order of bars is included below. Also, check out MapFaced.com for more details. (Note which event is numero uno on their list of 5 Buzzworthy Crawls!)
There is a suggested $5 donation to CharityWater.org. It’s suggested, but listen, folks, this is not like going to The Met, ok? Look at what she’s drinking for Christ’s sakes:
That girl’s water is burnt siena. There’s also the possibility that if we raise enough money some of the proceeds could be allocated towards creating life-size cardboard cut-outs of people you might know.
Any questions, email me at mikeehayes@gmail.com. Also, if you plan on tipping off the authorities, I’d appreciate a heads-up.
Check back tomorrow when we’ll have a post from featured tour attendee Hillary Moloney – who will offer her Top-3 Possessions (belonging to her roommates) she would light on fire if it meant free PBR for life.
The Bars:
1.) Ace Bar (E. 5th, between Ave. A & B) – The Tour kicks off at 4 p.m.
2.) Cheap Shots (1st Ave., between St. Marks & 9th)
3.) Coyote Ugly (1st Ave., between 9th & 10th)
4.) Crif Dogs (St. Marks, between 1st & Ave. A)
