David Blaine is at it again.
If you haven’t heard, the idiot’s latest “trick” is that he’s hanging upside down for 60 hours in Central Park.
Of course I hate David Blaine. I’m a living, breathing, person. This latest stunt from the so-called magician has just sent me over the edge, though, mainly because I’m more of a magician than he’ll ever be.
You want magic?
Yesterday I sat through eight hours of work and didn’t think about hurtling myself out of the office window once – that’s magic!
Then, after work I got drunk and only said “fuck” seven times – shazzam!
And even though I was drunk I didn’t massively over-tip the cabbie and make him think that I wanted to Go Steady – taa-daa!
This morning I took a shower and remembered to wash behind my ears – an amazing feat!
Before setting off to work, I picked up Jack’s pile of turds without getting any on my hands – there’s a trick for you!
And now I’m writing yet another blog post and not getting paid a damn thing – ooohh… ahhh!
Finally, ladies and gentlemen, I will do most of this all over again tomorrow! And the next day! Until I die! That’s a fucking magic show for you: Just trying to get through my life.
Come one, come all, for every day until he’s old and tired and has to wear diapers – which doesn’t seem like that bad of an idea – Chris The Master Illusionist!
Poof.
UPDATE: Jessica just sent me this link, showing that Blaine doesn’t even hang for 60 hours like he says he is. He stops once every hour! I hate that guy.
(If you want to read my take on women’s fashion, please go check out my guest post at Kindredly. Kablooey! Hmmm… Kablooey? Sorry.)

That provided the perfect amount of laughter for nearly 10am this morning. Thank you. You are correct – getting through our days sometimes without injuring ourselves (or our colleagues?) makes pulling rabbits out of hats look like child’s play. Well said!

Grab a couple of those water balloons and instead of filling them up with water, fill them up with mud and throw them at David Blaine.
Your magic trick is way cooler than his.
September 23, 2008 at 9:52 am
david needs to take a long walk off a short cliff
September 23, 2008 at 9:53 am
David Blaine can suck it. You can probably hang up side down for like 60 days. His 60 hours is just lame.
September 23, 2008 at 9:54 am
Is he hanging by his neck? ‘Cause if he walked away from THAT, I might consider being impressed.
September 23, 2008 at 9:57 am
lol
September 23, 2008 at 10:00 am
Hmmm…. Why did you wait until AFTER work to get drunk and say “fuck”?! Oh wait, I get it. The “magic” part was you waiting until after work. Well in that case, Bravo!

Fell asleep watching CNN last night and heard Anderson Cooper saying pretty much the same thing on his show. Think the exact words were “I don’t like David Blaine… I’m sick of him” and “I don’t get it… I don’t see the appeal.”
Which I’m pretty sure is dreamysonofawealthysocialitejournalistese for “Go fuck yourself, Blaine.”
September 23, 2008 at 10:02 am
David Blane is a fool.
That is all.
September 23, 2008 at 10:04 am
HAHAHA. Blaine fails.
Also, I did see True Blood. Watched the first two eps. And now I have another fucking show to watch. Thanks, Chris. I’m up to 80 shows now I think.
September 23, 2008 at 10:08 am
@deutlich – that’s his next trick
September 23, 2008 at 10:11 am
Wanna meet me in Central Park? When all the blood has finally rushed to his head, we can throw pebbles and watch it explode like the painful, pus-filled zit he really is.
September 23, 2008 at 10:19 am
So did you go see him or what?
September 23, 2008 at 10:28 am
No shit on your hands??? I can’t even do that when I clean up my OWN poop.
I just made your blog dirty.
September 23, 2008 at 10:29 am
I just watched _The Illusionist_ last night. Pretty darn good. I don’t know anything about this Blain guy.
September 23, 2008 at 10:30 am
Blain is a no-talent ass clown!
September 23, 2008 at 10:31 am
I have the magical ability to attract extremely good-looking men who treat me like pieces of shit, while simultaneously attracting trolls who want to marry me and father my children.
Yay?
September 23, 2008 at 10:37 am
you’re supposed to wash behind your ears???
September 23, 2008 at 10:44 am
Sometimes at the dog park, I make the motion of picking up the poop with the little bag but I don’t actually follow through.
That’s a kind of magic, right?
September 23, 2008 at 10:48 am
I’m going to use a set of words i don’t use often, unless i’m talking about people in church….and that word is….Douche Bag. David Blaine is a douche bag. This is going to be crass, but I honestly watch David Blaine’s stunts hoping for either his death or injury. of course, that’s the same reason you’d catch me watching the Boston Red Sox or the Cleveland Browns.
September 23, 2008 at 10:58 am
David Blaine is the devil.
“And now I’m writing yet another blog post and not getting paid a damn thing – ooohh… ahhh!”
But you should be getting paid? Where can I send my dollar?
September 23, 2008 at 11:02 am
lily – Thanks!
marie – I like the way you think.
deutlich – I totally agree.
dutchess – I bet I could! But see, I wouldn’t want to, that’s why I don’t suck.
ben – Me too.
hillbilly – Thanks!
word – I am bowing right now.
justin – Damn, that’s about as hardcore as AC gets.
trigirl – I think that’s all you needed to say.
jessica – It’s cool right? I didn’t think I’d like it, but I do. You’re welcome.
megan – Hahaha
dingo – Ew, man, that is gross.
alexis – Hell no.
narm – Hahaha – that’s fine with me. I guess. Did you eat corn?

matt – Bring it by my office?
September 23, 2008 at 11:07 am
Dude, hate on him all you want, I’m totally going to see him in Central Park tonight. If you want though, I’ll mock him and tell him that he stinks and that only Losers and the Uncool hang upside down. Then I’ll ask him to autograph a picture of your face and write that you are the King of Everything (not to be confused with the QOFE) and that he is but a lowly stuntman.
Will that help?
September 23, 2008 at 12:16 pm
I like his street magic.
I said it.
September 23, 2008 at 12:32 pm
You are pretty magical yourself.
September 23, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Is there anybody out there who likes David Blaine? Everybody hates him right? I just don’t want to live in a world where there is somebody who likes him.
September 23, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Agreed. But I’d still swing by Central Park and check it out.
September 23, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Watch me enter my blog name, e-mail that will not be published but is still required, my URL, and my comment!
Chitty-chitty-bang-bang, that’s magic!
September 23, 2008 at 1:05 pm
it’s magical that i even showed up to work after my vacation.
September 23, 2008 at 1:12 pm
i’ll only show up in central park to see him 1)if i have a high powered Super Soaker gun to shoot up his nose 2)if i can find a bag of big and sharp rocks 3)if i can see those beautful fall leaves in bloom.
September 23, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Easy enough.
September 23, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Wanna see a real magician.
Chris Angel FTW.
September 23, 2008 at 1:33 pm
“Shazzam” and “poof”???
I’ve never been happier.
You’re a Magic Man!
September 23, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Didn’t I end a post with the word “Kablooie” last week? Hmmm.
Whatever. You should shop your brand of magic around to the networks. Maybe you’ll get your own prime time special.
September 23, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Finding a place at a park for a three year old to take a shadoobie with no one seeing.
Now THAT takes some smoke and mirrors my friend.
Let’s see the pussy magician man pull off that stunt.
September 23, 2008 at 2:23 pm
David Blaine is a magician in comparison to Chris Angel…
I mean, who the fuck does Angel think he is? 0o0o0o0, he walks on water. 0o0o, he pulls a nickel from behind your ear.
All lies. Stupid magicians. I saw that movie, you know, that one with Hugh Jackman – so cannot remember what it’s called – and I know how this shit works. Those fools can’t trick me. Nah-uh.
September 23, 2008 at 2:38 pm
I’m buying stock in pellet guns
September 23, 2008 at 2:56 pm
stealth – Only if in his interview after, he says that my blog got him through his ordeal.
rs – You lie!
alleged – Why thank you.
megkathleen – I don’t think there is anybody. Thank god.
nicole – I’ll go if you buy me a beer and a slice.
arjewtino – Nice, I was waiting for someone to say that.
erin – I know how you feel. I’m hungover.
jay – I think that sounds reasonable.
matt – Sweet.
maxie – Doesn’t he wear eyeliner? The only dude who can do that is Brett Michaels.
jen – Hahaha – I am!
mickey – I totally stole that word from you.
kristen – Hahaha – shadoobie is a great word.
amind – Stick it to those bastards.
zibbs – Trump is with you.
September 23, 2008 at 3:00 pm
I’m assuming he won’t take a crap for sixty hours, right? That’s still not all that magical.
But I would pay good money to see Blaine take laxatives every hour and hang upside down for sixty hours.
Very good money.
That would be magical.
September 23, 2008 at 3:40 pm
I think I deserve some fairy dust for getting up this morning. Serious fairy dust. And I’m not talking about drugs. I’m talking about real magic here.
September 23, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Yeah, eff him. His “tricks” aren’t even impressive, it’s like they were thought up by a bunch of idiots and performed by an even bigger one.
September 23, 2008 at 5:07 pm
I think we’re all magical for being able to drudge through the day – I have to straighten my hair every morning – now THAT’s magical.
September 23, 2008 at 11:58 pm
every HOUR? what a friggin lamo.
abrica-friggin-dabra.
September 23, 2008 at 11:59 pm
i never say friggin, i prefer the real deal. but i just used friggin TWICE in that comment. odd.

[...] pun as many times as possible) David Blaine (because I had to tell him that he sucked for another bloggy friend of [...]
September 24, 2008 at 11:45 am
Maybe the best illusion you could hope to pull off is to make me think you don’t love David Blaine.
September 24, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I hate David Blaine, too.
