Mayors - they're just like us!
Adorable Everyman Mayor de Blasio took to shoveling snow today after Snowstorm Hercules dropped a big dump on New York:
Although I thought that was Dante's job, according to his mom:
While I respect the Mayor's commitment to Keeping It Real, I kind of also appreciated the fact that Mayor Bloomberg was so rich he could pay someone to do life chores while he focused on mayoral tasks like reducing soda sizes and plopping bike paths everywhere.

well, this is refreshing.
Several of the homes constructed for Hurricane Katrina victims by Brad Pitt’s Make It Right charity are rotting from the inside out, according to the New Orleans Advocate.
The charity used glass-infused wood that’s supposed to be green-friendly. But the material has struggled with moisture — a big problem for homes in a flood zone. The wood is going to be replaced, and Make It Right, which has also helped to rebuild storm-ravaged homes in the Rockaways, is considering legal action.

A visit to Graceland Too
A few of the 2pz family took a wild tour through the house of a hoarder and lived to post this video
From Wikipedia:
Graceland Too is Paul McLeod's two-storey home and shrine to Elvis Presley in Holly Springs, Mississippi. It is open to the public twenty-four hours a day, every day, all year. The house is crammed with Elvis paraphernalia to the point of being a fire hazard.
Paul McLeod is renowned for his eccentricity, based upon his monklike reverence for Elvis, and his claim to drink at least twenty-four cans of soda per day. The town's assistant director of tourism, Suzann William, claims Paul McLeod is Holly Springs' number one tourism attraction.
The house was originally painted pink, then white, and in 2012 it became a vivid, Mediterranean blue with American Flags and painted navy blue pine trees.

2pz Correspondent Melissa aka "Stacy McTrace" got engaged, surprised and maybe even passed out.
In an elaborate plot that spanned several months and half a continent, apparent diabolical genius Chris totally surprised 2pz correspondent Melissa aka "Stacy McTrace" with #1 a ring and #2 a party with her family and friends. The video above is their arrival at the party - note: around the 30 second mark it looks like Melissa loses consciousness for a few seconds. Congrats!

Hungover Helping Cab Helps Drunks Work
I don't know bout you guys, but back in my 20-somethings, I would always end a drunken night by making myself some ramen noodles at home to stave off the effects of SoCo and Lime klassy drinks like Cosmos and martinis.
A London noodle company, Kabuto, is using this idea for good, helping drunks get to work the right way - in a FREE cab called Kab-U-To Work. It's stocked with hangover cures like Kabuto noodles, orange juice, sunglasses, and some British drug called paracetamol (I'm assuming it's British aspirin or something).
The FREE!!!! cab service is running during the holiday season and may expand to other cities. New Yorkers would ruin it because there's too many of us drunks trying to get free shit, but they may as well do it here because when would I ever say no to a free noodle cab?!

remember?
if you loved six feet under, you should read this nymag piece detailing the inception of the series' final scene.
On August 21, 2005, the HBO drama Six Feet Under concluded with a seven-minute montage of flash-forwards revealing how each of the remaining main characters die. The episode, “Everyone’s Waiting,” was immediately hailed as the most satisfying TV ending ever, something the show’s creator, Alan Ball, still hears all the time. “People say they love it, that it was incredibly moving, that they watched it over and over,” he tells Vulture. “All those things.” As part of our micro oral history week, Ball and the scene’s other key players look back at the finale and discuss the Sia song, the process of aging the actors, and grappling with the meaning of life and death. (via)will i spend my nine work-free days of christmas re-watching this show for the 4th time? maybe. maybe.
