De Niro’s Ago Wait Staff - Having Some Fun (VIDEO)
As fascinated as we are by the photos of waiters checking their BlackBerrys, our favorite part comes at around 3:00, when members of the crew offer their best “You talkin’ to me?” imitation of De Niro.
Before it opened, Robert De Niro’s restaurant, Ago, got a lot of attention from bloggers — you’ll recall grainy photos of the wine-cork ceiling. Now they’ve moved on to the next thing (waffles!), and the restaurant’s staff, as if in an attempt to fill the void, has posted to YouTube a feel-good video depicting seemingly everyone on payroll, right down to the guy who irons the uniforms.
Remember Ring - Burning Flesh Reminds You of Wedding Day
For the addle-brained fiance betrothed to a psychopathic harpy, the Remember Ring: a wedding band that reminds you of your anniversary through a searing blast of heat and the wafting smell of your own charred, decaying flesh.
If you’re prone to memory lapses — or simply have too many secret second families on the side — then you may want to consider the Remember Ring. Here’s how it works: A full 24 hours before your special day begins, a “hot spot” on the ring’s interior will begin to warm up to 120º F for approximately 10 seconds. And in case that doesn’t do the trick, the ring will continue to warm up every hour, on the hour, all day long!
