Were you guys at the My Damn Channel LIVE event at The Ace Hotel last night? It was epic. Those of us that braved the disgusting sludge-rain weather outside were treated to an evening of comedy, sick jams and an assortment of alcoholic beverages. Here were my favorite parts of the show.

1. We CRUSHED two world records, including the record for Most Whoopee Cushions Sat On In 30 Seconds Without Smiling Or Laughing which used to be held by College Humor's Jeff Rubin. Ball's in your court Jeff.

2. Our very own Shannon Coffey regaled us with a tale of how she got duped into wearing Depends adult diapers by her Mom in high school. If I had a dollar for every time I accidentally wore a diaper let's just say I'd be sitting pretty ;)

3. Dave Hill shredded his axe ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

4. The bathroom at The Ace had a sink and Dyson Air Blade hand dryer inside of the stall. INSIDE THE STALL.

5. Todd Barry riffed on the Brooklyn restaurant Flatbush Farm for about 15 minutes after he found out a girl in the front row was a waitress there. It was pretty hilarious and now I really want to grab dinner there. I hear the Duck Confit is to die for.

1. Congressman Todd Akin (R, MO) tried to bolster his anti-abortion stance-- even for rape victims-- by claiming "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." The internet's collective mind exploded. Even worse, Congressman Akin serves on the House Science and Technology Committee, which goes to show they'll let just about anybody on that thing.

2. The Expendables 2 was number one at movie theaters this weekend, knocking The Bourne Legacy from the top of the movie mountain. Which just goes to show that Hollywood studios CAN make movies starring senior citizens and make money!

3. Fifty Shades Of Grey (aka The Book I Thought Was So Bad I Have Officially Lost Faith In Humanity) was finally knocked from its perch atop Amazon's Best Seller list by The Legend Of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, an encyclopedic companion to the video game. Surely there's some allegory here about geeks overpowering horny housewives that E.L. James can turn into her next best-selling piece of awfulness.

4. Director Tony Scott committed suicide by jumping off a bridge in San Pedro, California. Tony Scott's resume included director of films such as Beverly Hills Cop II, Top Gun and True Romance. With his older brother, Ridley Scott, he executive produced The Good Wife.

5. Taylor Swift is dating a Kennedy. Can't wait until they break up and all of all of her songs take on a broken-hearted New England lilt.
