3DWaB: Year in Review




It's been a pretty eventful first couple of months here at the blog. Before we jump into 2009, let's look back on some key events of 2008 through the eyes of three, nay FOUR dudes.


From all the dudes, have a safe and happy New Year!

Note to self: A blowtorch is NOT a shovel


There are some things in life that nobody enjoys doing, like shoveling for example. Everyone has their own approach when it comes to shoveling. You have some people who do it right away to prevent the snow from piling up. Then you have some people who put it off until the snow stops so they can clear it out all at once. And then you have those people who just wait for the sun to come out and melt it all away. But for some people, not one of these approaches are good enough.

New Bedford, MA is the proud home of one of these people. Yesterday, a very very unintelligent man set his triple-decker home on fire while trying to melt the ice on his porch by using a blowtorch. Yes, a blowtorch.

I'm not quite sure what could have possibly been going on in his head when he thought that this would be a good idea. I'm sure the tenants in the other two apartments would also like to know the same thing.

Four Dudes, Not Three


To everyone reading this blog, and to our loyal follower, I am proud to introduce myself as the Fourth Dude on "Three Dudes Write a Blog." Since I am single-handedly nullifying the name of this blog, it is my goal to contribute material that will add value to 3DWaB (as I am also contractually obligated to do so) and keep you coming back for more.

I look forward to sharing all kinds of hilariousness and shenaniganry with you.

BIG changes on 3DWaB


BIG DAY on the blog. We have our first follower (check out her blog here)! And, we've added another dude. It's a little confusing since there are technically four dudes now, but we're committed to the 3DWaB brand.

How to Kill a Raccoon



Yesterday in East Sandwich, MA, a raccoon crawled into and clogged a chimney, inadvertently killing a 62 year old man. Cause of death: Carbon Monoxide poisoning as the home silently filled with the poisonous gas.

Key take-away: the raccoon also died. So, if you are ever cornered by a raccoon in a dark alley, find some carbon monoxide quick!

Shout out to Sara for the tip.

WTF? - Santa Claus Cookie Jar



Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a beheaded Kris Kringle cookie jar.

Human Dynasty!


He pulls it off! 2 titles in 2 leagues!

For those keeping score at home, that's 3 championships in the last 4 leagues.

Kissin' Cousins


Scientists have recently made an argument to overturn anti-incest laws due to the possibility that we all have really hot cousins incest may not be as detrimental to the child as we had originally once thought. Even Einstein and Darwin married their cousins. Um, yeah.

Parents go nuts to buy their daughters a toy that craps itself

Am I missing something here? One of the "hottest" toys this holiday season is the reincarnation of a 1970's doll that leaks!? I lived with a pug for a year that had some anal leaking problems, and I'll tell you - it's no fun game of dress up and pretend.

You can't make this shit up (although I guess she can...): "Be careful, just like real life, sometimes she can hold it until she gets to the 'potty' and sometimes she can't!" A warning on the back of the box even reads: "May stain some surfaces."

Observations from attending back-to-back sporting events yesterday





  • As fun as snow-loaded games are to attend, they can be equally as miserable. Tossing snow into the air like a 5 year old, in unison with 55,000 other people when your team scores a TD is truly an unreal feeling; The polar opposite of which is walking a mile and a half back to the car, soaking wet, with every car on Route 1 splashing you as they drive by.
  • I need to invest in a pair of snowpants.
  • Rajon Rondo is gaining confidence with every game. This does not bode well for the rest of the league. There was a stretch where he just carved up the Knicks, driving to the basket and seemingly daring someone to stop him.
  • Brian Scalabrine is just terrible. Spare me the lines about him doing to "little things" or being such a good team player. This all went out the window when he managed to fall flat on his ass and still manage to draw a foul. Furthermore, I could tell from the 300's KG was bullshit to check back into the game becuase Veal fouled out.
  • The Celtics Dancers (if you would like to call them that) are just another reason why I'm horrified to have a daughter. And if I do, may the only chance she sets foot on a professional basketball court is as a backcourt starter for the relaunch of the WNBA, circa 2040.
  • If I wasn't from Boston, I'd probably hate us too.

Matzo Ball - 12/24 at Estate!!!!!

"Tired of the same dull and boring Christmas Eve?" Come party it up with the Jews at the 22nd annual Matzo Ball.


So, guilty admission: I attended this freshman year of college, got hammered, and made out with some girl whose name I did not know. Disappointingly, no soup was served.

Open Apology to the Cab Driver for Last Night...



Sorry. I know that one word doesn't quite make up for the fact that you were probably scrubbing your cab clean for 4 hours this morning.

Perhaps you can take some solace in the fact that while the mozzarella and lobster ravioli was great on the way down, it wasn't nearly as enjoyable coming back up at 120 mph, around 1:00am. I also yacked a little this morning during an overzealous teeth brushing session.

I hope we tipped you well. Wait, did we even pay? Or did you just throw us the fuck out in the middle of the street? I cannot quite recall. However, in all fairness, I also question your motive of picking up a patron who was earlier attempting to use his balls to hail a cab. That little tidbit I found out this morning. Surely, my mother would be proud.

My eyes are bloodshot, my head is cloudy, yet somehow I am still at work today. 5:30 can't come sooner.

Rare Air?


Ok, it's about time I posted this. As many of you know, I am a huge dork. However, I'm also a huge dork that loves gambling. Enter Fantasy Football.

Just about every season is the same. Everyone has a great draft, all the teams are optimistic, everyone has dreams of make-believe football glory. But as the season lingers on, hopes begin to fade, star players lose their shimmer, Terrell Owens goes batshit crazy. It happens.

This year has been a little different. I barely made the playoffs in both leagues (#3 out of 4 and #7 out of 8). I had no expectation of winning anything whatsoever. Then inexplicably, I won the 3 playoff games thus far and I'm in the fantasy championship in BOTH leagues. Has this ever happened to anyone else, going 2 for 2 in both leagues, not to mention back-to-back in one of them? I don't count it if you're in 9 leagues and you win two (get a job, buddy).

Two final games this weekend. Here goes nothing.

This guy is an idiot


What part of "wintry mix" didn't this guy understand?

If looks can kill, then girl on the bus this morning, you're a velociraptor

That Time Trash Talking Took a Terrible Turn


How's that for alliteration?

There was a serious bet made this weekend at a party hosted by one of the three dudes (but not by the blogger who refers to himself as 1 of 3 Dudes...it was hosted by Matt, no the Other Matt...Jesus, can we fix these blogger names already?).

Anyway, two friends of the blog have made a substantial wager on a 1-on-1, one-mile footrace. The loser will be forced to wear the following:

Clearly, this is a high-stakes bet.

Great Name Hall of Fame Nominee: Rod Blagojevich


(CNN) -- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich appeared in court Tuesday afternoon to hear federal corruption charges against him. He was released on $4,500 bail.

I think I'm willing to temporarily overlook federal corruption charges and the allegation that he snubbed a children's hospital's funding to give praise to a wonderful moniker that sounds like the noble offspring of Ivan Drago and a communist porn star.

I Love These Pepsi Ads






The concept revolves around a lonely calorie committing suicide. It takes balls for a megabrand to slap their logo on something like this.

Who Smells the Stinky Doo?


Somebody took the idea of scratch 'n sniff to a whole new level. Baby powder fresh scented cards except for the one "winner". A great concept, but kind of the most disgusting thing ever.
