Doing the weekender is always cool, but doing the weekender on the 10th anniversary of CollegeHumor is especially rad.

Loved this.

What Do You Have Against George Streeter?

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:58:00 -0500

When you have an odd name like I do you tend to look into your family history. Since my first name is my Gandmother’s maiden name, I’m related to almost everyone with the last name Streeter. Now, there is a section of Chicago called Streeterville and, naturally, I wanted to know how that came to be. I looked it up on Wikipedia a while ago and this is what it said…

In the late 1880s, an American Civil War Civil War veteran named George Streeter claimed that his boat hit a sandbar just off the Chicago shoreline during a storm, which he and his wife made their new home. The Streeters encouraged dumping in the area, which after several years, built up to became solid land. Eventually, the lake currents and garbage created a landfill. Since an 1821 government property survey stated that the Chicago municipal boundary terminated at the shoreline, Streeter claimed his ‘new land’ formed of silt and garbage as an independent territory called the District of Lake Michigan.

Neat!

But then I went back to see if I could learn more and found this passage had replaced the neutral one above.

In the late 1880s, George Streeter began his efforts to steal shoreline land from its rightful owners. He persisted in these efforts for decades, lying, stealing, forging and killing in his scheming. He claimed that his boat hit a sandbar just off the Chicago shoreline during a storm. That he and his wife made the stranded boat their new home. Meanwhile, landfill dumped in an effort to create land on which to build Lake Shore Drive by the Lincoln Park Board created 186 acres (0.75 km²)s of new land along the lake front, which Streeter attempted to claim. Streeter clearly lied about his discovery of the “District of Lake Michigan”.

I’m not saying my ancestors were perfect people and, yes, maybe old Uncle George wasn’t completely honest in his acquisition of the land, but come on! This kind of obvious bias is really not in the spirit of Wikipedia. Hitler’s page doesn’t say ‘Hitler was one of the worst people to have ever lived,’ because an encyclopedia is not a place for opinions, it’s a place for facts. So screw you, Marshmallowbunnywabbit! Besides your strange hatred for a man who died in 1921, you are not playing by the rules of Wikipedia.

Same goes for you, MZMcBride, the Brit who deleted my page for not being notable. I may not have a piece of Chicago named after me but I wrote a book, goddamn it! I earned my page! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, MZMcBride?! YOU’VE DONE NOTHING! NOTHING!

UPDATE: LOL

DOUBLE UPDATE: I was wrong it seems. It was not MZMcBride who deleted my page. It was user Caknuk based off a discussion started by user Ocatecir, the same dude who deleted Amir’s. I wonder what this dude has against us.

Woah just found out this existed after that last post. People who like promotional fliers with artistic interpretations of me, Streeter, Jake, and Amir - today is your day.

Well spoken, Jeff.

Charity Show!

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:04:20 -0500

jakeandamir:

We are performing at, and hosting, a comedy show on December 7th in order to raise money for an awesome charity, Global Goodness.

Global Goodness works to improve literacy in the world’s poorest countries. In particular, we’ll be raising money to build a library in Ghana. Not only is it for a great cause, but we also asked our all time favorite comedians to perform.

Kumail Nanjiani, Roger Hailes, Pete Holmes and Baron Vaughn will be there, as well as our coworkers, Jeff and Streeter.

The show is at StandupNY, and you can buy tickets by navigating their (slightly out of date) website. Just go to StandUpNY.com and click on Monday, December 7th on their “Calendar of events.” (There’s a limited amount of tickets, so get them while you can!)

You can also learn more about the charity, and about additional ticket options (autographed bags, office tours, even a cameo in a video!) by checking out the GlobalGoodness website. And feel free to email ggoodness.events at gmail dot com with any questions. Hope to see you there!

It’s true! I look forward to being the worst standup there!

Let’s Talk About Sext

New parody song I wrote. The idea came from the very talented Amandalyn Ferri. The video looks great, too, so well done to Josh Ruben, Ben Joseph and Vinny P.

Also, you can catch a cameo by my motorcycle, which is currently sitting in a garage waiting for some TLC.

Digg it if you dig it.

“As I was blathering to College Humor’s Amir Blumenfeld about spotting him at the Williamsburg river park thingy a few weekends ago, he looked up and said “uh, is that Pete and Pete? Streeter! It’s Pete and Pete!” They completely nerded out and while they contemplated how they could get a picture with the perky “Pete,” I interrupted and said “why I don’t just grab him for you?” The results are fantastic. I left them to gush all over each other.”

What happens when you invite the kids to sit at the grownup’s table, I suppose. Pics are here.

Amir and I with Caitlin Upton at Jimmy Kimmel. You may know her better Miss Teen South Carolina.

One time Amir and I went to tape a VH1 show about the best web videos of the year and Gary Broslma - Numa Numa Guy - was scheduled to tape right before us. We missed him by a few minutes and I resolved never to let a web celeb escape a photo op again.
