  • Celebrity Round Up 1/30


    I was going to do this earlier tonight but as I started getting ready I had a horrible bloody nose.  It really put me down.  I felt pretty weak but now I am ready to do some mocking of celebrities.


    This week Victoria Silverstedt proved that she was the hardest working whore in show business.  Where is my proof?  Well look at the band-aids beneath her knees.  Your honor, I rest my case.


    Here's a little something for the ladies.  Tom Selleck turned 64 this week.  In unrelated body hair news, Jennifer Anniston said that body hair was unattractive.  If I remember my Magnum P.I., he always got the girl so it couldn't have been that much of a turn off.  I am at a crossroads; do I shave my chest or let it run wild?


    Speaking of old...Sylvester Stallone looks like his body is catching up to his age.  That thing looks like it needs to be put in a bag labeled beef jerky.


    Cameron from The Hills is suing MTV because he claims that MTV lured him to the place where Spencer assaulted him and he said that Spencer had a trainer on site giving him tips on how to fight.  I bet the trainer will be edited out for TV broadcast.  If Cameron really wanted to hurt Spencer and MTV he'd just walk up to Heidi Montag and pour water on her circuit board.


    Paris Hilton is in London and a reporter asked her what she thought of the British Prime Minister.  She replied, "I really like his restaurant.  I ate at his retaurant the other night."  The reporter asked, "Whose restaurant?"  "Gordon Ramsay."  Yeah...Gordon Ramsay is the Prime Minister of Great Britain and I suppose Paris think that Mayor McCheese is an actual elected official.  Well she did think that she was responsible for getting Obama elected because of her videos.  Paris deserves a Nobel Prize for stupidity.


    While I am talking about the attention whore, are we supposed to be shocked by your outfit?  You have no talent and you're comically unattractive.  So until plastic surgeons start implanting unicorn horns in human foreheads, this is Paris' best option to "shock" us.  Oh and she fired her BFF Brittany Flickinger this week and two days later MTV announced casting calls for another reality series where the winner would be Paris' BFF.  This time they are asking for more "fabulous" men.  Yeah...I'm going to avoid that show.


    Neil Diamond turned 68 this week.  Neil answered my question about the chest hair.  If someone as cool as Neil Diamond puts out his enchanted forest of hair then so should I.  That coat is also pretty killer.  This guy will be cool and hopefully scientists will discover ways to lengthen a human life therefore he could truly live forever in blue jeans.


    Some photos of Miley Cyrus surfaced this week that showed her side-boob.  Well I don't want to go to jail so I am posting the cleanest from the set.


    Here's another Miley Cyrus photo shoot this week.  This can't be legal.  You realize that she is 16.  I feel sorry for that guy in the black cowboy hat.  Now he'll probably have to register.  Oh and the company that did the shoot posted an exclusive photo of Miley with her breast exposed but they put their logo over the "offensive" parts.  SHE'S 16!  When she turns 18 all hell will break loose.


    Ali Lohan got all tarted up for an art exhibit called The Extraordinary Women Exhibit.  Is she really a woman?  I mean she looks like she could pass for late 20s.  She's 15.  What the hell are her parents thinking?  Oh yeah, they are too busy bickering over who screwed up Lindsay.


    Here's Dakota Fanning at a premiere.  Can you believe she is just 15?  She has been around forever but at least she doesn't look or act middle-aged like Ali Lohan and Miley Cyrus.

     

    So now that Mickey Rourke is getting rave reviews and winning numerous awards for his work in The Wrestler, what would be the next logical career move?  If you said becoming an actual pro-wrestler, well you are as messed up in the head as Mickey.  Yes, he has been talking with one of my favorite wrestlers, Ric Flair, and he has been training him.  At the Screen Actor's Guild Award Show, Mickey called out a WWE wrestler and basically challenged him to a fight.   The next night Mickey was on Larry King and they invited the wrestler, Chris Jericho, to talk about Mickey's challenge.  There was a bunch of macho posturing and eventually Mickey said he wouldn't wrestler but might be interested in a bare knuckle brawl.  The next day one of Mickey's publicists said that Mickey will not be taking part of the mega wrestling event, Wrestlemania.  This is better than soap operas.


    That girl from Twilight, Kristen Stewart, still looks high in every picture that is taken of her.  Here she is in an airport exiting her flight.  How the hell do you get high on an airplane?  You can't do it in the bathroom.  I mean there isn't any room.  I couldn't fit myself and two flight attendants in there. 


    Seeing NBC has butchered Kath and Kim...I tried to watch it and enjoy it, I really did but the original was so much better.  Now FOX is in the process of remaking Absolutely Fabulous with Kirsten Johnson as one of the leads.  I am absolutely scared and sickened by this.  Is originality in Hollywood dead?


    Khloe "The Hulk" Kardashian broke up with her boyfriend, Rashad McCants of the Minnesota Timberwolves, this week.  I'm sure plenty of people are telling Khloe not to be upset because there are plenty of fish in the sea.  In Khloe's case, those other fish will most likely end up on a plate in front of her next to an order of garlic mashed potatoes.  By the way...LOVE the photo.


    JOAQUIN PHOENIX IS FAKING!  I called this!  Joaquin was at the Miss America pageant last weekend and he told a contestant that he was indeed faking this so that his brother-in-law, Casey Affleck, could film the whole thing for a documentary/art project.  He said he really isn't getting into the rap game but they are just doing this for an art project.  However a psychiatrist came out this week and said that Joaquin has experienced an emotional and mental breakdown but that could be part of the act.  Damn!  I was looking forward to his rap album.  Well, now I have a new album to replace the anticipation now that Axl Rose finally released Chinese Democracy. 

     

    All week people have been talking trash about Jessica Simpson being fat.  She is not fat.  She is just wearing a horrible outfit.  Mom jeans are not flattering on anyone.  At first when I saw these photos I thought maybe Jessica was auditioning for The Real Trailer Park Wives of Alabama but then I realized it was just another concert.  I think two reasons why people started calling her fat when these photos were released was first, a few days prior Jessica was sued by an exercise video contract for breach of contract.  People automatically thought that must mean she is fat and lazy because she didn't do the video.  NO!  She didn't do the video because on the day of filming she showed up drunk and was unable to do any of the exercises.  The other reason why I think people claimed she was fat in these photos were because of the location of the shots.  She was at the 24th Annual Pembroke Pines, FL Chili Cook-Off.  No, I'm not making that up.  She did headline a chili cook-off.  She isn't fat but her career is almost over.  Anyway that third shot...spectacular view.


    These are Hugh Hefner's twin 19 year old girlfriends.  They were spotted coming out of a medical marijuana store in Los Angeles.  Hopefully they don't have glaucoma(that might explain how they could fin Hef irresistable), arthritis, or cancer.  They have to have something wrong with them because why else would they be purchasing from a medical marijuana store?  Oh..they're so young.  My thoughts are going out to them.


    Ellen Degeneres turned 51 this week.  That is unbelievable.  I thought she was 40 at most.  She hides that age well.  Maybe her secret to looking so young is that her life is man-free.

    Elijah Wood celebrated his 28th birthday this week by reliving his birth.  That is actually very disturbing. 

    Brooke Hogan's career is certainly taking off.  She is scheduled to wrestle the son of Ric Flair at the Florida State Fair.  They will be wrestling in a circus tent and there will be alligators and flame throwing midgets.  The only thing missing will be DIGNITY.  Brooke Hogan must have the same manager as Jessica Simpson.  Chili cook-offs and wrestling in a tent at a state fair...they're going places.

    Bill Clinton took time out of a golf tournament this week to show us how President Bush will continue to screw us even though he is no longer president.

    It looks like a Lisa Frank catalog exploded all over Avril Lavinge.  She suffers from Paris Hilton Disease, acting like you are 12 one minute and then trying to force her "sexiness" on an unsuspecting public the next.  I think Avril should retire to a maple farm...yes, that is a stereotype.

    Amy Winehouse is still on vacation.  Maybe she is detoxing so she can play Coachella in style.  Amy went and got herself a new bodyguard.  She looks familiar...I can't put my finger on it...QUEEN LATIFAH!  I also finally figured out who Amy looks like.  She has to be related to Gargamel from The Smurfs.


    Yeah, he's totally her biological father.

    Britney Spears is looking very good and in great shape.  So expect that in a few weeks she will go bat-shit crazy.  I am getting antsy for that If You Seek Amy video.

    Well that is it for this week.  Not my best effort but that might be because I am dizzy from the bloody nose.  Also I think the celebrities weren't out this week because of that ice storm or they are in Florida on the down low for the Super Bowl.  I hope you have an excellent weekend.

  • Lukewarm Links

    Another week has come and passed.  Time for some links.  Sorry about not getting to emails.  I have been somewhat busy.

    Have you ever considered the origin of the words you say on a daily basis?  I know MrsMok has been talking about new words.  I have three lists for you this week about words and their origins and meanings.  First, these are 8 words that we use on a daily basis that may have racist origins.  Next we have 8 words used on an everyday basis that have x-rated origins.  Finally here are 9 words that we use that don't mean what we think they mean.  I hope that clears things up.  Oh and I found this entry in an online dictionary.  Does anyone else have a problem with the second pronunciation

    Here are some craigslist entries: first a poster wants to know if your dog needs diapers but it has to be dogs only, this has to be the most bizarre sexual request I have ever read.

    Poor Pastor Ted Haggard...everything in the world was OK when he was bashing gay people left and right but then some male prostitute had to come forward and say that he and Ted had an illicit affair.  Now a member of Ted's former church(former because they couldn't have a homosexual preaching about homosexuality being an abomination) is saying that he and Ted had a relationship.  And people think the Catholic Church in America has problems.

    Having a party anytime soon?  Here is a drink you may want to serve.  It sounds pretty good to me but then I have corn whiskey in a mason jar.

    I love Mental Floss and I was quite pleased when I stumbled upon this article reviewing an old WWF music album.  It even has sample clips of the songs.  A few of those songs went on to be the entrance music for some of the wrestlers.  OK here's where it gets creepy and you may stop reading...I own that album.  I from time to time have been known to enjoy the professional wrestling.

    You know those really cool Barack Obama posters with the three colors?  Well now you can make your own.  I can't wait to see how many high school students use this website for their elections for next school year.

    I was thinking of famous Wisconsin athletes the other day and one name popped in my brain: Sam Okey.  I witnessed him play high school basketball against my first high school.  Our gym had a max capacity of 1300 but that night there were 1500 people inside just to see this guy.  His career fizzled out when he went to Wisconsin.  I wonder what he is up to today.  Then another athlete came up.  This guy, B.J. Shumacher, is from my hometown.  He is the first person east of the Mississippi to win some major rodeo titles.  The website fails to mention his run-ins with the Amish but I guess you can't have everything on a website.

    I thought the lists for 2008 were finally over but here is the 50 most loathsome people in America during 2008.  I'm sure many of those people will make the 2009 list.

    A few days ago a fellow Xangan(and I can't remember whom) posted some artwork on their blog.  It was made by an Austrian named Erwin Wurm.  At first I was elated because we shared the same name but then I remembered Wurm was only my nickname.  Then I was thinking of famous people with my last name and all I could come up with was this guy.

    This story is absolutely despicable even if it was for charity. 

    I'm #1!  I'm #1!  I'm #1!  I'm #1!  I'm #1!

    Hopefully, you too can be a winner.

    Well he does look awfully guilty, but then again he's just a kid...hahaha I am so funny.

    Moral of the Story:  Don't buy video games at Walmart.

    I bet this is how David Blaine and Criss Angel and David Copperfield do their tricks. 

    Sadly, with the state of the economy, I think we are just beginning to hear many stories like this.

    Yahoo Answers, you never fail to provide me with morons.  Thank you!

    All I had were cheap Batman or G.I. Joe plastic lunchboxes.  These lunch bags are incredible.

    Now you can create your own Garfield comic strip or maybe a Garfield Minus Garfield Comic.

    Apparently there is a new fetish hitting the porn industry...sneezing.  It's safe.  Hopefully they don't go with the zit popping fetishes out there.

    Oh Valentine's Day is fast approaching so make sure you buy your lingerie.  I was looking at the merchandise and oddly it seems like all the girls on Bret Michaels Rock of Love Bangbus wear that clothing.  Oh and speaking of Valentine's Day here are the 7 best Mexican related sexual positions as defined on Urban Dictionary

    Here's a fun list: the 100 best TV shows of the past 20 years.  I didn't many disagreements with the top 25.  I was so happy they included Deadwood.

    I think this guy is the first openly gay contestant in Wheel of Fortune history.  I remember when they had a mentally differently-abled guy named Monte but I can't find any of that footage.  Monte was a great player.

    Well that is it for this week's installment.  I hope to be back tomorrow with a celebrity round up.  I may not because I may have to take my dad to the doctor.

    Oh and I have noticed there has been a lot of talk about feminism.  I dug up this old motivational poster:

    And if you think I believe that...well I have a parcel of land you may be interested in purchasing.  Have a good night.

  • Comic Capers

    I haven't done one of these entries in quite some time.  I am getting bored with TV and the constant advertising for Tyler Perry's "Tyler Perry: The Tyler Perry Story" only on the Tyler Perry Network.  I don't get those movies.  Well WGN has Bob and Tom's in studio show on at night and now they are airing ALF.  Oh and Top Chef was pretty decent tonight.  Oh well time for some comic books.

    Starring George Bush and Dick Cheney!  Actually the guy on the left does have somewhat of a resemblance to Bush.

    Immediately after being called out, Superman charged the mound and beat that kid to death with the baseball bat.

    NO!  NOT GUM CHEWING!  Maybe he's there to kick ass and chew bubble gum.  Let's hope that bubble gum lasts for a long time.

    I can't believe Hee-Haw had its own comic.  Years ago everyone must have had their own comic book like today everyone has their own reality series.  The cover is throwing me for a loop.  Why are those guys so serious? 

    Did the Superman comic ever make sense? 

    You know you have to watch out for those demonic clocks with their shooting hands.

    Groucho is a total perv.

    I bet they stole all those presents and they dropped some off to distract the kids.

    I can't believe this lasted four issues.  It brings up serious constitutional questions.

    I cannot tell a lie...this sucks.

    If I had that typewriter and it made everything I typed appear and come to life, well I wouldn't waste a good thing like that typing about Hannibal.  I may write about extremely hot nymphomaniac women who are chubby chasers.

    If that creature is so evil, why is he smiling?

    Well that is all for this evening.  I am off to read.  I'll be back tomorrow with that music post(hopefully) and my random stuff.

  • High School Nicknames

    The other night I was reliving the glory days of my football coaching career.  I was thinking of a particular game that was a defensive battle.  My team won with a late touchdown and with that win we also won the conference title.  The team we played had one of the most bizarre nicknames I have ever seen first hand.  They were the Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms. 

    http://bucultureshock.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/blooming-prairie-awesome-blossoms.gif

    That image comes from the school’s official website which can be found here.

    When I was in the booth radioing to the coaches on the sidelines I noticed that the Awesome Blossoms even had a young girl dressed as the Blossom.  She was having a horrible time.  She was in tears and obviously didn’t want to be dressed as a mighty flower.  I kept waiting for them to bring out food from Chili’s or Outback whichever has the blooming onion.

    This got me thinking of some of poor nicknames of collegiate and high school sports teams.  In this post I’ll just include some of my favorite high school nicknames.

  • Motivation

    Sorry I haven't had much to say as of late.  I have had some life issues pop up that I needed to deal with.  I had one of the strangest morning wake ups ever this morning.  Both my cats were standing on my chest looking into my face and crying.  They tipped over their water dish and they couldn't go to the water faucet and get fresh.  I guess not having thumbs sucks.  Hmmm...I never did ask the grade school lunch lady how she functioned without thumbs but maybe I should have.  After I filled up the water dish I thought about going to sleep but I started to smell gas.  I opened the basement door and it hit me.  I called the Power and Light and they said my exhaust vent had ice build up on the opening so it wasn't escaping.  Thank god I had no gas leaks.  It's bad enough having a gas leak in my body and I wouldn't want to have one in my house.  Then I had some work I had to take care of and also if you didn't know I volunteer my time at my church and teach an after-school Bible study for kids.  Well I completely blanked out and had to do that planning.  After the class, I had a long talk with the pastor about life in general.  He wants me to get back in the ministry but I don't know.  Anyway I got home and crashed.  I fell asleep on the floor and woke up with American Idol on the screen and some horrible screaching.  I am sad I didn't get to read everyone's posts but if you had some mind-altering or earth shattering post that I need to read, let me know.  Time for some motivation.





    I needed the motivation to do two extra posts this week.  One will be about school nicknames and mascots because I was reliving my glorydays of coaching and remembered a school we played against with the lamest mascot and then I also had a great conversation with a fellow Xangan about that topic.  The other entry is going to be about the two songs that play in my head every morning on a rotating basis.  Well I think I am off to bed or to continue reading books on my banned book list.  I'll have to update that as well.  Later.

  • Microwave Experiment

    I know this is quite old but I thought I would post it once again.
    Under no circumstances should you try this at home.

    I don't know if I will ever use my moby again.

  • Sun Dogs

    I made mention of this in a recent post and I finally have some time to write about it.

    Sun Dogs are a phenomena that occur when sunlight is reflected or refracted by ice crystals in the cirrus clouds.  Often it appears as two "mock suns" on either side of the real sun.  Sometimes however there is only one visible sun.  The Plains Indians used this phenomena to predict weather.  Usually when a sun dog is spotted that means a drop in temperature is on the way.  I saw them the other day when it was about 30 and two days later it dropped below zero.  I remember during this summer's heat wave, I spotted them and a couple of days later it rained and significantly cooled off.  I have no clue as to why they are called sun dogs but my assumption is that when there are two on either side of the sun it sort of appears to be a dog's face.
    File:Fargo Sundogs 2 18 09.jpg
    This photo is taken outside of New Ulm, MN.  See the two "fake" suns?  That is the sun dog.  You can also notice a a little rainbow around the reflection.
    File:Parhelion2 -NOAA .jpg
    This is a single sun dog. 
    File:SunDog.jpg
    Here's another example of sun dogs at sunset.
    File:Halo and sun dog - NOAA.jpg
    This is a sun dog at the South Pole.  The sun was blocked out for the cameraman's protection.  Anyway notice the pronounced rings and rainbows. 
    File:False Sunrise.jpg
    Sometimes the sun dog will appear above the sun during a sunrise thus causing a false sunrise.  This photo is taken from my favorite place in the world.  Underneath all the fog is a city and the Mississippi River.

    Sometimes I bitch and moan about the cold weather but then I get to see these beautiful events so I guess that makes up for the -40 mornings.

  • Celebrity Round Up 1/23

    This has been an incredible week.  Earlier this week we saw history made and I laughed at people in Washington D.C. who said it was frigid.  It was -45 here last week and this week there were a couple days that shot above freezing albeit briefly.  Today it started warm and then the wind picked up.  Currently it feels like -25.  I guess that would explain that sun dog I saw yesterday.  Sun dog?  Remind me and I'll explain in another post.  Time for some celebrity scandals.

    Just so you know, I found all these stories nestled within Joaquin Phoenix's beard.

    America...ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!!?!?!?!?!?!?  What the hell is wrong with us?

    Here is Verne Troyer in another competition on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.  Why don't we have that show here?  I'd rather watch celebs making asses of themselves than the tools that they actually get for Big Brother.  At first I thought this may have been part of a new sex tape but that would be wrong on so many levels.  It's so wrong I think Chris Hansen is preparing to tell Verne to have a seat. 

    Wow...remember Val Kilmer?  He has changed. I still think he could be considered a lady killer.  He used to seduce the likes of Cindy Crawford, Elisabeth Shue, and Angelina Jolie.  Now the women are Sara Lee, Little Debbie, and Aunt Jemima.

    Tom Cruise is still in Germany pimping out his movie Valkeryie.  I think he is also over there to promote Scientology since Germany doesn't recognize it as an official religion.  Ich liebe Deutschland!  In an interview with the magazine Bild, Tom says that Germany makes the best beer and wieners.  I wonder if he could even name three German beers...Becks, St. Pauli Girl, Hacker Pschorr, Paulaner, Franziskaner, Warsteiner...not that I really drink much.  So Tom likes German wieners?  I'm part German so that makes my wiener the schnitzel.  I think he actually meant to say wurst from which my surname is derived.

    It's nice to see that Tila Tequila isn't an attention whore anymore.  Here she is giving her new vampire girlfriend a faux lick.  I think she is trying to blow our minds by expressing her sexuality so publicly.  FAIL!  Just do some nude pics or a sex tape and then maybe we'll talk, but no more reality dating shows...I repeat NO MORE REALITY SHOWS!

    Tards have invaded the Sundance Film Festival!  Nick Hogan makes Vanilla Ice and Insane Clown Posse look hardcore.  Then Linda and her 19 year old boyfriend...more on them later and of course Paris Hilton.  You know why they are getting coverage at Sundance?  All the real celebrities were in Washington D.C. this week for the inauguration.  Oh Paris...she walked into a free giveaway room for the people in the movies who normally give the merchandise to charities and she walked out with 30 bags of merchandise.  Yeah, she's pretty sleazy.

    Here's a full pic of Linda and her 19 year old boyfriend Charlie Hill.  Say what you will about pedophiles but they have impeccable style.

    While Linda is out at the Sundance Film Festival, her ex-husband Hulk Hogan is back in Florida dealing with the poor economy.  The economy is so bad that the Hulkster can't even afford a whole Cadillac.  Maybe he actually just enjoys people gawking at him like he is a circus animal.

    No, Paris, you're STDs haven't rotted them off...yet.  An anonymous gentleman has come forward to say that he has a video tape of Paris Hilton.  Apparently it contains 14 hours of her sexual escapades including getting it on at her grandmother's funeral and in the back of a taxi cab.  This may have been what was stolen when her house was robbed not that long ago.  I think the only film I want to see Paris make is a snuff film.

    Damn.  Earlier today I posted a link to the Razzie Award nominations and Paris is nominated for this abomination as well as her appearance in Repo: The Genetic Opera.  I have not seen this movie anywhere.  I hope that isn't the only poster they are using to promote this "film" because it looks like something out of a second grade art class.

    Steven Tyler...I loathe you.  First you ruined rock and roll for me with your 90s crap.  Every song sounded the same.  Why can't your band go back to drugs and put out quality albums like Toys in the Attic and Aerosmith?  Next you ruin the blues...Honkin' on the Bobo?  WTF!  If I have to hear "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" one more time I am going to go nuts.  Now you have ruined chowder of all kinds for me.  In a recent interview, Steven Tyler said that when they go on tour, the band abstains from sex for the last ten days of the tour so that when they get home they have large amounts of "chowder" for their wives.  Thaks a lot, douche bag.

    Selena Gomez, what you're doing should be illegal.  Rumor has it that she is looking for a new boyfriend.  I have my own car so my mom won't have to come pick us up after the movie is finished.  Oh, and I was once on honor roll if you're into brains.  Just don't ever lose the lollipop.

    Well it looks like Pete Wentz did some major shopping at the new chain store that is having a clearance sale.  What's it called?  Oh yeah, The I'm an Asshole Store or maybe George Costanza finally opened the Jerk Store but it looks like they are all out of Pete Wentz.  After seeing this photo, Bronx Mowgli is talking with an attorney about getting his papers in order to become an emancipated minor.  Also I hear that Child Protective Services are investigating Pete Wentz because this has to be child abuse.  No child should see their dad wearing Uggs.

    Oh Padma.  I can't remember your last name but all I know is that you are on Top Chef and you are quite pretentious when it comes to judging food.  Let's see you cook.  Oh and I know that Padma is really good at talking about Glad products.  Here she is with her 60+year old boyfriend who is the CEO of IMG.  Earlier today I posted a link about a new study that said size mattered...in the size of a bank account.  Apparently women have more orgasms when they are with someone who is wealthy.  Hmmm...this must be their test couple.

    WTF is up with Miley Cyrus' fashion sense?  I think I am going to start selling all my old and torn clothes to brain dead lackwits so I can make a mint.  She's wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt.  There is no way in hell that she knows Iron Maiden.  She probably thinks Iron Maiden is some sort of device that you buy at Walmart to make grilled cheese.  I guess that dropping out of school to pursue a career with Disney means you lose your sense of fashion and it is contagious so that your loved ones lose their fashion sense as well. 

    Michelle Obama makes the round up because her husband is the biggest celebrity in the world and SHE IS FUCKING RADIANT!  I want to brag to the rest of the world that my first lady is hotter than your first lady but then I remember France's first lady, Carla Bruni.  Hell...Michelle is hotter.

    Why, yes, I'd like to see Michelle Obama juggle balls.  Yes, I am evil and yes, I am extremely single.

    At least in this photo, Madonna is covering up her enchanted forest and has shaved the armpits.  I apologize for subjecting you to that photo last week but I did give you warning.  You know the good thing about that photo last week was that we can be sure that wasn't photoshopped because who would want to have that.  Oh I just wish Madonna would cover up and realize she is 50.

    WOW!  Lily Allen, where did you get that ugly hat?  It makes her look like a mop or maybe something that Snuffleupagus would orgasm.

    Lily needs to lay off the sauce.  You know seeing her drunk makes me think.  Being young, rich, and famous is sort of like being a blogger.  You're both drunk 24 hours a day and we both...well that's all I have so far.  Maybe you can help me out.

    Why is everyone going gaga for Lady GaGa?  I don't see why she is popular.  She looks like she could appear in an episode of Muppets Gone Wild.  Like that one girl in Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, Janice.  Either that or she could pass for Bert if he was a crossdresser.

    Here we see Kim Kardashian jumping aboard President Obama's plan to volunteer work.  She volunteered her time to make milkshakes.  Her milkshake brings me to the yard...god has it been that long since that song was out?  Maybe Kim has finally found her calling in life: fast food in spandex and heels.

    Kell Osbourne was arrested this week, not for wearing ugly make-up but for beating up a girl who made fun of her fiance.  Kelly reportedly slapped a woman because the woman said her fiance was stupid because he didn't know what an earthquake is.  Kelly sure learned from her mama.  When someone talks smack about a loved one, you go ape shit ballistic and start slappin' hoes.  Honestly, her fiance didn't know what an earthquake was so he deserves some slapping as well.  Kelly made bail and proceeded to enter rehab.

    Maybe this isn't really news but I think it is going to really shock people and make them and myself included feel VERY old.  Kelly Kapowski(actually Tiffany Thiesen but I'll always remember her as Kelly) turned 35 this week.  Yes...35!  So when is the Saved by the Bell class reunion?

    Now that Katy Perry broke up with her fiance, she has announced that she has taken a vow of celibacy.  Hey, we have something in common.  You know she won't keep this vow but maybe she'll do something that will be so shocking that we'll be forced to take notice.  Here's hoping!

    John McCain refuses to let his wife Cindy compete on Dancing with the Stars.  He also refuses to talk to the show's producers.  I can't blame him because who would lower himself to use a woman for a publicity stunt.  That's not something a man of John McCain's stature would sink to...unless it meant winning the presidency because then it would be totally ok.

    Joaquin Phoenix crawled out from underneath his cardboard box to host a party in Las Vegas this week.  I feel sorry for those people standing next to him.  The smell looks like it could be quite intense.  Also he appears to be quite crazy and dirty.  I am starting to think that this may all be some strange documentary in the making or an episode of Punk'd on a grand scale.

    So now Heidi and Spencer are supporting Obama?  That can't bode well for the president.  Damn!

    Spencer got himself into a fisticuffs this week.  He was talking with a guy who had brief appearances on The Hills and the guy talked about breaking up with some character on The Hills and Spencer attacked him unprovoked.  Witnesses claim there was much screaming and a lot of bleeding.  Doesn't that happen on The Hills once a month?

    I want to know what party was so desperate that they needed Fran Drescher to show up to create buzz.  God bless her, she's trying to be sexy but she just fails.  At first I thought her flesh colored bra was a nipple so I washed my eyes out with bleach.  That may explain the spelling mistakes so please forgive me, I've yet to regain my sight.

    Dolly Parton turned 63 this week although the majority of her body is much, MUCH younger.

    Denzel Washington showed up really early for the inauguration.  Maybe he was actually trying to get first in line for a movie role.  He is a registered Republican.  You know how Beyonce was saying how much she loved Obama and was happy he was president...well her and 3 members of her family are registered Republicans.  Sort of interesting little tidbits.

    This is Connie Britton.  She really makes me think.  Women are like fine wine; they taste better when aged and give you a headache if you have too many and both are overused in metaphors.  Check her out on Friday Night Lights on Friday nights on NBC.

    The girl on the right is Brittany Flickinger.  She won the reality series where Paris Hilton was looking for a new BFF.  Brittany should think of changing her last name because that sort of sounds dirty or possibly something that you could catch from Paris.  Nicky Hilton despises Brittany so now Paris is ditching Brittany.  You know what this means?  Either Paris will have another reality series where she finds a new BFF or Brittany Flickinger will have that same series.  I hope Brittany is on TV some more, she's hotter than Paris.

    Ladies...guess whose hot dog stand is open or business or maybe as we say in the 608, guess whose barn door is open so that you may catch a glimpse of his rooster(cock?).  Sorry you can't really see anything.  Maybe I will have to dredge up those old nudes of this guy as an offering.  Oh, it's Brad Pitt.

    Britney Spears is being offered $14million for her autobiography.  This won't be that difficult since Britney has kept diaries of everything.  I hope that the book comes out on cd and she speaks it in her British accent.  I really want to see Britney's diaries.  I bet they look like what a kindergartener would write and I also bet they are filled with stickers from Britney's handlers.  This could be really interesting.

    I hope you have a nice weekend and that the next four years go smoothly.

    Sorry about not getting this out yesterday.  I had some sort of stomach virus and wasn't keeping anything down.  Yesterday I had to do some work for my aunt and then take my dad to the doctor for a check-up.  I ended up getting home very late and just crashed on my floor.  I woke up around 3AM with two cats sleeping on my back.  So here are the links for this week.

    I've been seeing some posts here on Xanga discussing the most memorable meal that a person has eaten.  Well no one has mentioned any of the dishes on this list.  This is some brutal stuff so be forewarned.  And speaking of brutal eating experiences here is a list of 8 terrifying restaurants that may ruin your appetite when you go there to dine. 

    When I was a kid, I watched cartoons and read comics.  Little did I know that the female characters were ushering me into manhood.  Here are 10 of the 80s female cartoon characters that may have shaped my life as well as many other strange boys around the globe. 

    All these years, I have been doing it for free.  I need some training so that eventually I can become this guy's successor.  I think the only drawback to this career path might be the huge amounts of methane that may cause brain damage and global warming. 

    Screw you, race car bed!  I have a new dream bed.

    A few weeks ago I posted a story about Charles Barkley being pulled over under suspicion of drunk driving as well as running a stop sign.  He claims he saw a girl that gave him the best blow job in the world.  Well, The Onion reports that Charles finally get that beej and here's a report from the press conference.  Oh and by the way, he was twice the legal limit for alcohol.

    Well this is definitely something that shouldn't be given as a present.  Ozark Craft=FAIL!

    I love video games.  I love sports.  Sports video games are my crack.  Here is a list of the top ten video game sports teams.  I am shocked by how many of these games I have played. 

    Stan Lee is set to create a gay comic book hero.  Wasn't Batman gay or at least Robin?  So this character will have to conceal two identities.  I think I would read it and I can already see the Christian protesters lining up for this one and then they will claim they are being persecuted by a fictional comic book hero. 

    Here's a fun little video of the faces of all 44 presidents.

    Earlier I read a tear soaked blog about how all the work of the pro-life contingent of our country has seen all their efforts defeated by one of President Obama's executive orders.  I laughed and then I found this article about some of the most famous, infamous, and ridiculous executive orders in our nation's history.  I would love to find the one that officially declared that my people were citizens of the United States.  I think it was under Truman or Eisenhower.  I'll have to look into that.

    When I was in college one of the things that always pissed me off were the notes that people posted telling us how evil we were for doing things in the dorm or around campus.  This website is like re-enrolling in my college.

    How did you like President Obama's inauguration speech?  I didn't think it was his best speech but it was very nice.  Here's a website where you can create your own inauguration speech.  Be warned:  you may need to use your knowledge of the English language.

    This website has to be one of the greatest of my finds.  It raised many questions.  How DO the blind enjoy porn?  I remember watching an episode of Just Shoot Me and the blind character had the uptight girl start describing the action on the scene but once she figured out that it was porn she freaked and left.  Well Porn for the Blind has the answer, audio tracks for porn videos. 

    This is what happens when you play too much World of Warcraft

    Crackity-gladoor/here's a link to Dr. Seuss Goes to War

    If you have every watched one of the ESPN networks for extended periods of time you know what Fatheads are and if not they are giant sports related posters.  Well thanks to the wonderful world of adult entertainment we now have Phat Head XXX.  Because you can never have enough lifesized naked women pasted on your walls.

    Crate and Barrel...actually crates and barrels featured in video games.  This is one of the lamest collections but I am amazed at the time they took to compile this website.

    Have you ever wondered what The Peanuts would have been like if it were written by Charles Bukowski?  Well now you don't have to guess.

    This has to be the best design for a credit card.  I really dislike the commercials that advertise that you can design your card anyway you'd like because this story proofs that you can't.

    I had a student sing this song on a field trip and after 1 minute I wanted to blow my brains out.  Please make it end.

    Here is a list of the films that most frequently use the word fuck
    .  How many Quentin Tarrantino movies are on that list?  The number one movie has an appropriate title. 

    A new study says that size does matter for women
    .  Not penises but wallets.

    The Razzie Award nominees have been announced
    .  I think I am more interested in these awards than the actual Academy Awards.  It's nice to see Paris Hilton nominated for something this award season.

    Can't think of anything funny.  Here's a list of 10 gadgets that President Obama should have now that he is allowed a BlackBerry that supposedly is going to cost $3,300 but I think that will be deducted from his paycheck.

    This is going to be one long semester.

    I'll be back later tonight with a celebrity round up.  I have to check today's news and also go buy some cat litter.  Fun times!

  • You Want a Piece of Me?

    I am not feeling so well tonight and I was going to go all out with this letter to President Obama that I received in the email last week or the application for a girlfriend because it seems like Xanga is all about the love lately but I decided to dig up an old article from The Onion.  In no way is this written by me.  I just wanted to share the awesomeness that is The Onion.  I guess I stumbled upon this article when I was doing a search for an article that I thought was plagiarized and made it to the featured post on Xanga.  Oh well this is better and I won't start any shit in my diminished state.


    You Want A Piece Of Me?

    By A Pie
    May 26, 1999 | Issue 35•20

    A Pie

    Hey, you! Yeah, you. I see you standing over there with the hungry look in your eye. Something bothering you? Something gnawing at your gut? Huh? You want a piece of me, is that it? You want a piece of me?

    Oh, you do, do you? You think you're a big man, huh? You got a big mouth, I'll give you that, but do you have the guts? Well, you're going to have a belly full of me before this is over, that's for sure.

    Oh, you're a real big man, all right. Real big. You know something? I don't think you've got the stomach for this kind of work. I think you're going to have to run and get somebody to help you. You're going to need five of your friends to finish me off. You bit off more than you can chew this time, buddy. I'm too much for just one man!

    You want a piece of me, come get a piece, pal. You'll be lying down for a while after this, I'll tell you right now. Lying down moaning. You'll be feeling this tomorrow, big shot. I may look sweet, but don't let that fool you. I'm the kind of sweet that'll knock your friggin' teeth right out. I may look cherry, but I'm still too big for you.

    What's that? What's that you got there? A knife? What, you going to cut me? You are, aren't you? You're going to try and cut me to pieces! Better make 'em little pieces, buster. A little piece of me is all you can handle, tough guy, with your big bad knife. Well, I been cut before, you can see that for yourself. I ain't afraid. Bring your little knife over here. You're going to need it if you want to get a piece of me. Ain't no other way for a guy like you who's too damn scared to use his hands.

    C'mon. You want to find out what I'm made of? This is your big chance! Take a seat at the table, big boy! I'm servin' it up hot! C'mon! Step up to the plate, buddy!

    Oh, yeah! Pow, right in the kisser! I'm up in your face now, you betcha. How you like that, huh? How you like that? Oh, you didn't like that, did you? Well, too bad, 'cause there's a lot more where that came from! Not such a big talker after a mouthful of me, are you? Looks like you got a bit more than you bargained for there, doesn't it?

    Oh, now look at that. Did I mess up your nice white shirt? Huh? Did I? Well, don't start cryin' yet, pal, 'cause there's going to be a real big mess by the time you're done with me. It'll be a while before you get cleaned up. I'm going to put you down for a nice long nap. You'll be out for quite a while, I bet.

    What? Fruity?! Who the hell you callin' fruity? And so what if I am, huh? Christ, I can't help the way I was made, goddamnit. And you know what? I was just minding my own business over here 'til you came over, man. I think you like it that I'm fruity. I think it makes you feel a little strange when you look at me. That's it, isn't it? You want me. You came over here because, deep down in your gut, you want a piece of something fruity! I think you came looking for a little taste of something different, and now you can't handle it. Well, I may be fruity, but at least I'm no goddamn cream puff.

    That's it. You're done! You're through! I was too much for you, wasn't I? Wasn't I? Admit it, pal, I was way too big for you. Well, you may think you're done with me, but I ain't done with you. Hope you didn't have any plans for tonight, 'cause I'm going to go right through you. I'm going to go through you like Sherman through Georgia.

    Man, I wouldn't want to be you tomorrow morning.
