You Really Do Get a Little Something Extra at the Ivies
Diminutive Asian girl: Well, I think that…
English professor: Isn’t “Balls!” such a great expression? It’s just so… you know… I give you all permission to interject and interrupt this class by shouting “Balls!” at any time for the rest of the year. Sorry, go ahead with your comment.

Swift-Boating the Sharks from CNN

9 January 2008 - The only thing that would have made this one better would be if the lady at the end picked it up and took it with her.
2 January 2008 -
PC World named SCRABBLE as one of The Year’s Most Offensive Video Games. It ranked 7 out of 9 flanked by a game that has a major gun battle in Manchester Cathedral and a game that was banned in Singapore for excessive violence.
11 December 2007 - Hobosexual. It’s been how I roll for a while now. (The first definition.)

I’m Convinced — Can You Just Hold Me?
Lady: Excuse me, miss, could you move over a little?
Preggers: No, I’m pregnant. [Lady tries to squeeze in, pushing preggers.] If you push me again, I swear to God I’ll give birth on your feet right here on this train. Then everyone will be mad at you ’cause you pissed off the pregnant woman and made them all late for work!

28 September 2007 - KHAAAAAN!
20 September 2007 - Where in the F*ck is Carmen Sandiego?
19 September 2007 - This little girl is related to me. For that reason she has no idea how long she’ll actually spend with her foot in her mouth. Figuratively, of course. Lucky for her, she’s got my sister to guide her through.
From my sister: “We don’t usually do goofy hairdos but she had a pigtail in for most of the morning, then she decided to take it out herself and her hair stuck in that position.”

a. This, to me, IS living the good life.
Kindly Clarify Your Objection
Girl #1: I’m living the good life.
Girl #2: No, you’re not! You just sit around eating pie all day.

05 September 2007 - A love haiku to me from Karyn.
I love that you walked
to work in someone else’s
pants pants pants pants pants
29 August 2007 - I wore a dress that I bought in December for the first time today and was told by one person that I looked like Jackie-O and another person said that I looked like a happy faery floating around the office.
22 August 2007 - I got this link off of Dooce this morning. It totally made me forget how completely shitty yesterday was. (And I sent her an e-mail thanking her too!) This is a Yeti Crab. It’s been named one of the 25 Worlds Weirdest Animals.
20 August 2007 - Rabid Beaver. It’s not funny but it totally is.
16 August 2007 - Best Unicorn Planet So Far!

1. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve meet this person in a bar. It’s uncanny.
2. AND… there are NEW T-SHIRTS on Toothpaste For Dinner!

a. Today is what would have been Hunter S. Thompson’s 70th birthday. I find it fitting that I’m traveling to Vegas tonight. Happy Birthday, Dr. Gonzo.
b. This picture from Dooce made me laugh for about 5 minutes this morning.
17 July 2007 - Planning a trip to Long Beach!
“Rex [Smith] will star once again in THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE this time as the dashing Pirate King in Musical Theatre West’s production in July of 2007 in Long Beach, California.”
16 July 2007 - This is the type of wife I want to be. (Minus the face stabbing part and the anger and the jail time. Just the food fight part.)
13 July 2007 - This picture from an article in Rueters.
I agree that the idea is antiquated but the wigs were still cool. I guess to see them now you’ll have to comit a pretty serious crime. Criminals get to have all the fun.
06 July 2007 - The fact that Karyn and I have agreed that one day we will make and sell t-shirts that have inside jokes on them that only her and I understand. Shirts like, “You go, Duckling!” and a shirt that has a picture of a stagnant sock with a line through it. People will buy our shirts and have no idea why they’re funny.
03 July 2007 - Rockstar Energy Drink + Sixlets = Dinner!
02 July 2007 - My extremely patient brother-in-law.
29 June 2007 - The trade winds were howling this morning so it was freezing when I woke up. I got to wear a sweatshirt while I walked Betsy! A SWEATSHIRT! Then on my way to work I stopped at 7-11 and got some Chex Mix and a stupid-huge coffee and the clerk was really nice. The radio in the backround was having people call in about what they thought the hardest habit to break was. Everyone else was saying smoking. I said caffeine. Guess who was right? It was me!! WAHOO!
28 June 2007 -

13 June 2007 -
-
a. It’s JUST like a Yeti! God, I love yeti’s!
b. This quote regarding the new weapons legislation passed by the House this morning. God, I love Democrats.
“When the NRA and I agree on legislation, you know that it’s going to get through, become law and do some good.” - Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.
06 June 2007 - This comic from XKCD. It’s intelligent and vulgar.
I. LOVE. IT.
04 June 2007 - It’s comforting to know that my friends aren’t the only ones that have plans on what to do if Zombies try to take over.
01 June 2007 - The mental image I got of the former planet Pluto pushing dirt with his foot extending his lower lip just slighty as he says…
((Click on the shirt and read the description too. It’s hilarious!))

a. This exerpt from the gossip page on MSN that sent me into a 5 minute day dream about how FANTASTIC it would be if Britney Spears and Corey Feldmen WERE on the Surreal Life together.
Marvels Brit, “Every day is so surreal. Life in general is so surreal and crazy.” (And somewhere, the producers of “The Surreal Life” formulate a plan to get Spears into the house with Corey Feldman).
24 May 2007 - Possum Kicking.
20 May 2007 -
-
a. It must be a slow news bay for MSNBC because I opened my google this morning and this was in their headlines.
b. My trip to the book store. I got gift certificates from my credit union and they were burning a hole in my pocket. I bought 2 Popculture/Philosophy books, a copy of The Economist, a dictionary of obsecure insulting words, the BIG Betty Crocker cookbook that I’ve wanted for ages and a vegan cookbook (not because I’m trying to go vegan but because meat is really expensive here and I’m looking for alternatives and I hate fish).
16 May 2007 - This sounds like something said by someone I know!
14 May 2007 - Those WACKY flatheads!
13 May 2007 - Overheard Everywhere: Stress Ball.
10 May 2007 - Coffee Flower. I don’t know why. It just made me sublimely happy for a while.
7 May 2007 -
-
a. My new T-Shirts! I LOVE T-SHIRTS!
b. The fact that I don’t have any furniture means that I can throw Betsy’s Elephant across the living room and kitchen and she can run after it without running into too many things. (The video link is of Betsy, taken with my new camera which is still making me happy.)
6 May 2007 - I noticed today that if someone is walking by when Betsy squats to take a poop she stares at them until they pass and for some reason this makes people really uncomfortable and makes me laugh a lot.

a. Zombie Kitty. It’s even my new desktop picture at work.
b. The fact that my underwear matches my sweater and more so that it was unintentional.
