So This Happened of the Day
Nov. 29, 2011
So This Happened of the Day: Turns out Stanley Hudson has quite a life outside Dunder Mifflin.
Teaming up with “International Musical Sensations” N.U.M. (which stands for Nuthin’ Under a Million, natch), sassy Office actor Leslie David Baker parades around his mansion in a weird onesie-looking getup to the sound of his very own autotuned single, “2 Be Simple.”
It’s all very confusing and bad, but, at the same time, ridiculous and amazing. You know, kinda like everything else on the Internet.

Second Amendment Santa of the Day
Nov. 29, 2011
Second Amendment Santa of the Day: Better pray you’re not on this Santa’s naughty list: The Scottsdale Gun Club is offering families the chance to take their seasonal Santa photo with a wide range of Santa’s special little assault rifles.
The year’s Christmas Tree topper: An $80,000 Garwood minigun, which families are welcome to test fire.
“I thinks it’s going to be all in fun from those who support the second amendment and those who don’t,” said club member Richard Jones. “Whether you’re a gun advocate or not, you should have a lot of fun with it.”
The next “Santa and Machine Guns” event is scheduled for December 10th. Watch a local news report on the story after the jump:

RIP: Patrice O’Neal, at 41
Nov. 29, 2011
>RIP: Comedian Patrice O’Neal has passed away. He was 41.
The news was first reported on the Opie and Anthony radio show. A cause of death has not yet been released, but O’Neal was known to be in poor health, having suffered a stroke in October.
The stand-up comic got his start in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts. He moved to LA in the late 90s to pursue an acting career, landing bit parts on Arrested Development, Chappelle Show, Yes Dear, and The Office. He also starred in the short-lived Fox series The Jury, lent his vocal talents to Comedy Central’s Shorties Watching Shorties, and was the first host of VH1′s Web Junk 20 among many other contributions to television, film, and comedy.
Taking to Twitter to confirm the sad news, Opie wrote: “Yes it’s true that our pal Patrice O’Neal has passed away. The funniest and best thinker i’ve ever known PERIOD.”
