Stefan (remembering Barry): One Time… |

Maybe you heard I nixed an article of Barry’s last week? Got a bit of flack for it (here: Stephen gets shit from Barry for rejecting his violent & tawdry article). Well, to set matters straight, Stefan quickly sent another article (which I posted - it’s a few entries before this one) which was great so an article did appear last week.
Ever see the movie “High Fidelity”? The best scenes are when Jack Black and the gayish, bald dude (can’t remember his name and too lazy to look it up, but he ends up with the Roseanne girl) rail against the customers who come in and ask for help finding albums in the record store. They are hysterical, self-righteous, snobby, nerdy, cute, honest, condescending & damn smart. For some reason, the Barry Kirkey Radio Show reminds me of those guys…listen for yourself right here:
The Barry Kirkey Radio Show
Well, do you agree or not?
Here’s this week’s article…
****************
One time:
Way back when I didn’t know Barry too well (he was friends with my brother because they were the same age), we were looking at baseball cards and considering some trades. While he was flipping through one of the card binders - the ones with the plastic pages and the slots that the cards go in - a bloody, hard, crusty booger appeared on one of the pages!
When Barry saw it he yelled out, “Booger nugget with blood on it!”
My brother and I thought it was hilarious so we laughed hard. The weird part, though, was about 2 minutes later on when Barry looked serious, almost sad.
In a solemn voice he said “Guys, please, seriously, don’t tell anyone about what I said.”
My brother and I looked at each other, confused, and asked him what he was talking about. He said, “Don’t tell anyone I talked about the booger nugget with blood on it.”
What the hell? Why did he say that? It is still a mystery to this day.
One time:
In our early-mid 20s we got drunk and stole orange pylons from some kind of service vehicle. It was around 2:00 am on a Saturday night Barry, the Gregs and James and I included.
We lined up the pylons in the middle of a major street as if to form a road-block. Some cars swerved, some came to a screeching halt, and others just drove over them.
Our friend James was standing about 200 feet back watching because he was scared.
We could have caused an accident!
One time:
During the fall season, Barry and the Gregs (I was in college) dumped about 12 bags of leaves in the back of some guy’s pick up truck. They were drunk.
One time:
We had a neighbor who was a douche-bag named Adrian, and his dad had an old Volkswagen Jetta he was all proud of. We called it the “Wally Wagon” because the dad’s name was Wally.
One night we went to MacDonalds to get some fast-food, and bring it back home. Only this time instead of throwing out the garbage we carefully placed all the wrappers, empty french fry containers, and empty drink cups on the top of the car. We made it look like someone had enjoyed a MacDonalds feast on the top of his car!
One time:
Barry and I were hanging out at lunch in high school (I was 2 grades younger so I was enthralled). We ate lunch, but Barry had a raspberry tart for dessert that he didn’t like.
We decided to go to the library and found the History section. Barry picked out a book about Hitler, opened it to the middle page, put the raspberry tart in the middle and smashed it closed!
He then put the book back on the shelf.
Four years later the book was still there! Included was its signature Barry Kirkey Raspberry Tart Stain!
One time:
I was at a Chinese grocery store in Toronto looking for some sushi. It was packed solid with people, all of them were Asian. After about 25 minutes or so I finally saw a white dude! I was almost as if we had this instant connection, like “Yep we’re both white and we’re both out of place here. High five!”
That didn’t happen. But what DID happen was, I purposely walked by him twice and each time I did I gave him solid eye contact and nodded to him. The nod was firm and meaningful, as if to say that “Yes, I too understand how awkward you must also feel.”
The second time I gave him a nod, he looked at me very very meanly. It was still funny to me though. I think I laughed out loud and I was by myself.

The Decline of Men |
| November 17th, 2008 under News, Book Reviews. [ Comments: 3 ]
|
|

I wanted to let you know that I am currently reading Guy Garcia’s “The Decline of Men”.
I’ll be brief, but this book is a huge shock so far. Now, I have only read the first couple of chapters, but Garcia has thus far filled me with statistics that are very very surprising. Apparently, us guys aren’t getting a fair shake any more in school, and it’s starting to show in the work force. Most of the job trends that will be peaking in the next 10 years or so, dramatically favor women. Also, under 50% of all households are married couples. In 1950, he says it was around 90%. That’s a massive drop.
Some of this appears to be societal, with a great deal of favor being given to women sense the feminist movement (which I strongly favor). However, a majority of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of us guys…surprise surprise.
I normally get home late on Thursday nights. Last Thursday I was strolling down the avenue here in NYC, and found a huge line for “Gears of War II” outside of the local “Game Stop” store. I couldn’t help but notice that ALL of the people waiting were guys. There weren’t even any girlfriends waiting with their men, which likely means they don’t HAVE a girlfriend.
I mention that as I feel that us guys are getting lazier and lazier, and less interested in taking risks and DOING SOMETHING with our lives. Consequently…and I’ll quote Garcia here…
“But as women rise and men continue their downward slide, it’s also true that more and more women are simply unable to find men that they think are worth marrying”
For today, I’ll leave you with that…as I read more of this, I’ll post more. But, I strongly suggest you read it too:

Podcast with Cameron Teone
Cameron Teone…know that name? His voice has been heard recently on the Barry Kirkey Radio Show and he’s been doing a ton of writing for his new business. You may have seen them on any of these various and sundry seduction blogs out there…
Cam’s a A+ guy and if you live on the west coast and are looking for dating coaching - he’s your man. He and I recorded a podcast last night, and discussed (among other things) this mystifying concept of “attraction”.
Thanks to a lot of misinformed dudes, this concept is grossly misunderstood. Listen in as we clear up this very important idea, as well as rehash old ProHo memories like a couple of grumpy old men.
Here’s where to get it:

PS: Cameron and I talk a bit about some freebies he’s giving away right now…you can check those out here:

Stefan’s Printer (Pay Attention) |
| November 12th, 2008 under News, Barry Kirkey. [ Comments: 2 ]

Hey man -
Lets see how closely you pay attention. Can you tell what’s really being said here?
Sn.
*************
Printer.
As I sit here at work, I can see my printer. It’s made of plastic, mostly. It says “Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1100 on the front. I put those words in italics because that’s how it appears on the front of the printer. I guess it’s designed to attract the eye and be “catchy” for marketing and branding purposes. Looking at the font, I immediately think of “speed.” Speed is a good noun to associate with a printer. Please.
I would say the dimensions of the printer are 15×30x30, so it is fairly small. The shape is odd, and difficult to describe. It’s rectangular but with a curved (convex) front. The top is slightly concave, and the back and sides are completely straight. There are these two half-cone type things at the bottom, in the middle of each side. Let.
The front of the printer has this big gap at the bottom. I do not know what this is for, but it looks like technology. On the top, there are two flat pieces of plastic sticking out, presumably so that the paper can rest standing up – both before and after something has printed. Me.
There are three round buttons on the top – no wait, only one of them is a button. Please accept my apologies for misleading you (the reader). The button is the biggest circle but it’s more of a half-sphere than a circle. Who’d have thought that huh? The other two circles are lights. One of them is currently yellow. I do not know what yellow means. Poop.
One of the most important parts about my printer is the plug. There is a plug in the back that extends out, eventually going into the wall socket so that it can have power to print things. In.
Less exciting but equally important is the network cable, which connects my computer with the printer. This allows me to print stuff from my computer using special technological advances. Your.
Lastly, the printer is a very light grey in color, almost white like the skin of an alien. Mouth.
Good luck with all of your endeavors and Happy Easter!

Article 20 – Plugs: The Driving Force of Human Evolution. |
| November 5th, 2008 under News. [ Comments: 4 ]
|
|
Without a shadow of doubt, plugs are the defining factor in how cultures are shaped around the world. The shapes of the plug things that go into the wall are actually synonymous with the shapes of our own societies.
Next time you plug something into your wall, whether it be a microwave, or a stereo, or a computer, or a TV, or a DVD player, or a lamp, or a phone charger, or a lawn mower, or a toaster oven, or a fridge or a dishwasher, or a cordless telephone, or a Playstation 1, or a Playstation 2, or a Playstation 3, or an Xbox, or an Xbox 360, or a Nintendo Entertainment System, or a Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or a Nintendo 64, or a Nintendo Game Cube, or a Nintendo Wii, a Turbo Grafix 16, or a Sega Master System, or a Sega Genesis, or a Sega CD, or a Sega Saturn or an iPod charter – think of the history of all plugs, and how they have impacted your everyday life.
Let’s talk about the different kinds of plugs!
Plug 1:

This is from North America, and is the best kind of plug because of the two vertical lines. They represent the respect held between men and women, plus they spawned the first revolutionary meeting held in South Africa to end the Apartheid.
This plug is, without any doubt, the most dominant and powerful of the plugs. It has maintained its dignity and power of all other plugs since 1903.
Plug 2:

Also from North America, this is very similar to the style of plug as the one above, with the exception of the half-circle at the bottom. The half-circle was a lame attempt at trying to usurp the first plug. The attempt failed in the late 80’s leaving only bitterness between plug number 1 and plug number 2. I heard that the hate was so powerful between the two factions that plug 1 wouldn’t serve hamburgers to plug 2 during the great fast-food shortage of 1987.
Plug 3:

Seriously? 2 Dots? Come on, I mean, can you get any more lame? I think this one is from Belgium or something, and it shows based on how boring it is. Come on Belgians, get your act together and make a more interesting plug…
Plug 4:

This plug was invented in England in 1927, but a famous plugologist named Marcus Hemmingway. The concept was to separate 3 dots equally apart so that if you drew a line between the dots you would get a triangle. It was an attempt at creating equality among the three economic classes in England at the time: The Rich, The Poor, and the Assholes.
Hemmingway still lives today, in Essex, at age 98. His dog is named Dog.
Plug 5:

2 Dots again. This one is actually French, and apparently the French are incapable of thinking of an original plug idea, and decided to copy the Belgian one. I don’t really understand this one too well, not because there are the 2 dots – but because there also exists a third hole. This “third hole” remains a mystery to this day.
Famous Anthropologist Desmond Morris has, on many occasions, attempted to solve this mystery. His only conclusion was that the third hole had something to do with the famous French Statue of Liberty which stands tall in the heart of Paris, France.
Plug 6:

I fucking hate plug number 6! The whole idea makes me sick, just look at it! Ugh!
Mother fuckers.
Plug 7:

Another English Masterpiece! Come on England, are we being serious? After your first bullshit attempt (see plug 4), you try this? What direction do you really want these pins to go, Vertical or Horizontal? The indecision reflected here in the shape of this plug resembles the indecision displayed by the English in World War 1 – That was when the Hindenburg Zeppelin crashed into the CN Tower in 1988.
Plug 8:

Ovals? Why ovals? I believe this one is from Israel. If someone asked me: who is right with this whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict? My answer would be “pineapples.” Because of the spikes.
Plug 9:

Ahh! More angles! Hey, Australia – why are you always trying to be different? Successful at least – One! Two! Three! I hate green! I hate green! I hate every single thing… That’s green! Chicka Chicka!
Plug 10, 11, 12 and 13
I’m getting tired, so I’ve decided to do a contest on which of the last 4 plug is the dumbest looking:
   
The winner for the dumbest looking plug of these four is the last one! It’s from Switzerland. Good job Swiss people, for making your whole country look stupid based on the shape of your plug! Maybe you should have picked a side during World War 2!
It’s kind of like a robot vagina.
Thank you.

Hey man -
You probably know this by now, but to be SURE…you can download last week’s “Natural Inner Game Coaching Sessions” to your ipod…REAL easy.
I suggest you do that - it’s totally free - and it’s a bit long, so it might be more “listenable” on an ipod. Of course, you can also listen online too - if that’s better for you.

Barry & Stefan - Comedy Lessons 13 & 19, COMBINED! |
| October 27th, 2008 under News, Barry Kirkey. [ Comments: 1 ]
|

Hey there -
If you’re at all puzzled over last week’s blog post (as I was) you’ll want to listen to my appearance on the Barry Kirkey Radio Show today where Stefan and Barry explain exactly what the hell that was. Really funny stuff, and should help you perhaps view this week’s post with a bit of clarity.
*********************
Lesson #13 of the comedy of Barry Kirkey: Part 2 of comedians standing up:
Lesson #19 of the comedy of Barry Kirkey: We secure this begun party
One of the best ways to learn really something is to stop trying to learn that something and as soon as to submerge in which you really enjoy. People seem to be tense on the learning “how to be” that funny she is lacking one of the majority of the points: He is something that must happen naturally if you as soon as it exposes itself to the correct things. You can be that she is surprised as soon as you will take of his memory in the daily life in which you begin to watch many demonstrations, films or still comedians standing up.
Takes me to the subject of this week: Comedians standing up, fuckers. I am not today going to say what you must to him or does not have to do. But I am going to provide with you a list of comedians that thinks is particularly good. You need to find really something you you stop to enjoy. This one is, to a great extent, the fastest and easier way to funnier habits of the harvesting. Also, I do not want excuses. If you are occupied, you can be that she does not have time to watch or to listen to rise.
That one is a fine excuse, but it conjectures what? The technology exists. iPod tries to transfer a certain true comedy in his and to listen in its way to work - in place putting in one of those lame demonstrations morning of the speak-radio of the ass. Beginning its day laughing could bring really something positive in its life. Idiot. Without any bullshit plus other, same, and my friendly Stefan, Greg and Steve everything has our own favorites, including these:
Zach Galifianakis - Zach has been a favorite mine by a number of years now. I have taste of him because it is different. Instead of to concentrate in the classic subject (that is to say relations, family), he presents/displays a dry, sarcastic, self-critical demonstration. She can be that she takes some minutes to secure a certain impetus to him that was ***reflxed mng of this individual, but once you obtain in the furrow that you can class see on which he is everything.
Their jokes are subtle, and you really need to be reasonable on the understanding of which she is “lame,” because Zach frankly will approach any thing and everything that he judges to be lame. He does this by class “that pretends” of him does not understand because she is lame and with that like goof or central center of a joke. I am scared to write more envelope he because I do not want to give the incorrect idea on this comedian. Hardly compruébelo towards outside and fodder that will dig you it.
Cook of the Danish - he is probably the person more popular than I am going to mention in this article. If you think you you know that he based on his present papers of the film - that forgets all and leaves check its standing up previous material. The cook of the Danish is standing up of great energy, intelligent that takes to humor of “exaggeration” the following level. He uses the “daily characters” with which the majority of douchebags regular can identify. Then exaggerates it them at a so extreme level that he does not make sense. That one is because he is funny. Some people say that cook sobrestiman of the Danish. Who the catch takes care of on that one! He watches his operations, is impressive.
Doug Stanhope - Stanhope is “fetiche self-proclaimed comedian.” Whereas I do not understand totally because, its humor is “extreme refusal” and he can be that he really has the act crudest today. It is essentially pinchazo, and bitch mainly that happens in its life and anywhere in the world. Nothing is safe with him, race, religion, policy - any thing. It is offensive and it means to be offensive. That one is because it is funny and because its material works so well.
Schimmel Robert - I cannot imagine because this individual is so good, but absolutely prove it and you will see what I mean. It is intelligent and knows to count an entertained history.
Brian Regan - this individual is noisy and disagreeable. Its subject is similar to which humorous one will do half its, but it has east character that is repeated - an exaggerated version - with a voice that sounds really stupid. He uses east character to complain about which is incorrect with the world. He sees what you think about this individual, took attempts me of a pair to have taste of him but he laughed rather hardly for the moment in that his landlord imagined.
Mitch Fatel - one of the unique comedians - Mitch Fatel will acquire the perspective of the horrifying nonmature idiot. He causes that a slight one also stammers, who really makes even funnier. Most of their jokes concentrate around how it is inexpert is on life, including the relations and sex - those types of things. It pays particularly the attention to quiet moaned his “.” This individual one is worth verifying towards outside.
Dave Chappell - I lay well when I said that cook of the Danish one was most popular. Dave Chappell could be more famous - but I did not want to leave it towards outside. I will not go too much deeply on its style, except saying that it is probably the best one in goofing in racist subjects, and that its voice that sounds sluggish draws to him within each single joke that does he it - then when you it less delay, perforates he them towards outside with a noisy, ridiculous delivery.
Mitch Hedberg - it is dead, but you do not let to that shutdown enjoy the work of this individual. It is not one of those comedians who do not lose their jump of the time in those long epic jokes. No, it has more of a style machine-gun of the delivery. Its routine will water to him with the jokes that they really do not require to think to him. Much people have editions with the comedians who do not have “intelligent” humor. The well let say to him something to me, hammer, if a comedian can repeatedly do laughter to me without the thought, he makes it more intelligent than those assholes that makes the delay me by 10 minutes to hardly tell to a joke malísima - which was not worthy of the time that took to give.
Demetri Martin - impressive comedian. Its style is very similar to Mitch Hedberg, but it has a diverse delivery slightly and it uses a guitar sometimes. It seems as it is always uncertain, but still finishes for above the delivery of a really good demonstration. Compruébelo towards outside.
Now I am finishing this article. Before it goes, déjeme remembers to him that game clips or I speak sometimes of these comedians in the wireless program of Barry Kirkey in www.revolution31.com/blog I have not mentioned each comedian who I have taste because it wanted that you leave and who found the new ones for - which it is part of the learning process, and of George “” the steel animal would agree with me. The right?
*****************
PS - I hear that Doug Stanhope (mentioned above) is set to appear on Barry’s show tomorrow. That’s certainly a must-hear.
Enjoy!

Death Of The “Pick-Up Artist” |
| October 24th, 2008 under News, Programs, Natural Pickup Series. [ Comments: none ]
|
|
I know, I am being dramatic…putting “death” in my subject line and all.
But, in truth, my goal is to say good-bye to “pick-up” as we know it - and introduce something non-gimmicky, and more natural…more REAL & EFFECTIVE.
The Natural Art of the Pick-Up
Just watching Mystery coach those poor, unfortunate guys on TV for 3 minutes makes me want to throw up in my mouth (sorry, TMI, I know…).
But, it’s TRUE man.
You can learn the BEST PUA skills and techniques, while avoiding the trap of becoming a “pick-up artist”.
You can get LOTS of girls without being seduced by “the game”.
In fact, I’d argue that the only way you can consistenly get interesting, attractive, quality girls is by avoiding BS PUA-gimmickry altogether.
You’re clear, right, that PUAs don’t really get girls - right? They can approach (sometimes), but lasting and strong attraction requires an entirely different
approach.
Or, if they land a date or two, that’s all it amounts to…PUA = short-term attraction (AT BEST).
BUT, some of the better “stuff” works short-term (I must admit)…you know it, and I know it.
I’ve just put the finishing touches (finally) on a program that provides the best of BOTH worlds:
1) The *best* PUA, field-tested techniques with;
2) A system for naturally, smoothly, meeting and attracting new women
The Natural Art of the Pick-Up
My hope is that it finally gives guys a strong alternative to “pick-up” for meeting and powerfully attracting women…therefore, today begins the “natural” movement, aka:
Death Of The “Pick-Up Artist”
For the lucky first guys to download their very own copy - well, I am making your day very special. You will also receive (again, via download…straight onto your computer or ipod or
whatever mp3 player you have) my CLASSIC program:
“Natural Attraction”
I will literally, really, actually…GIVE this to you ($200 value).
BUT, not everyone gets their own copy…just those who can act FAST:
The Natural Art of the Pick-Up
These 2 programs are the perfect complement, and the ideal companion for the guy seeking a natural, smooth solution to his dating/women challenges AND who’d like the PUA-edge, but without all the nonsense.
And you can have them both, for a limited time, in under 3 minutes (or as long as it takes you to read, click, type and download…)
Time is short, in other words:
The Natural Art of the Pick-Up
Thanks for reading this man…and I hope you take advantage of this pretty-darn uniquely awesome (if I do say so myself) offer.
Talk to ya later,
Stephen.
