This whole scenario just proved to me that I'm never going to be able to like a celebrity. I think it is just impossible to stay a decent, grounded human being when you are surrounded by people who indulge your every whim because of your wealth/fame.
Genius. Any fruit allergies I should be aware of?
Being a proud owner of both, I'm Switzerland in this war. However, I will say this, ahem, anyone who thinks cats are smarter has obviously never had a dog.
I know! They even talked about puppies!
So wait? If I dye myself blue do you think Jon Hamm would pick me up? I'm just asking, because you know, I'm open to it.
Scenes filmed on Cybertron? Nope. Megatron vs. Starscream power struggle final showdown? Nope. Primus? Nope. Unicron? Nope. Transformers 3: Still not the Transformers movie I spent my childhood dreaming about.

I got excited for a second thinking it would be a bunch of Chavs which would be the best show ever, but then it was just a bunch of guidos* with British accents. *You guys call them lorries in the UK.
Reading everyone's stories is incredible. I knew we were all a bunch of nerds (we do spend our days hanging out in a blog community) but it always amazes me how many people were bullied, especially people who are so funny and cool. I'm watching my Godson go through the same thing now and I'm actually glad I was bullied because I know how to help him. I'm the cool adult in his life, I sneak him out of school and take him driving (he's 13), I fill his iPod full of gangster rap and crusty punk jams, and I let him watch movies with nudity and violence (his mom would kill me if she knew all these things, lol). So when I told him that I had the same problems, he was literally shocked. He couldn't believe that someone so cool (in his eyes obvs) could be picked on. The best part is now whenever something happens he comes to me, and I help him get through it. I tell him to befriend the other kids who are getting bullied, to stick up for them, because they're stronger as a group, and frankly, those kids usually grow up to lead the culture. I also try to break him outside of that world, take to him to places where he can meet other kids his age (the arcade, carnival, motorcross races, etc.). I tell him to focus on school and playing guitar, because they'll mean something one day, not the social stuff. I even sat him down and showed him the kids who were really mean to me on Facebook and how they are gross losers now. Things are getting better now. Two weeks ago he was jumped in the locker room, but this time it was because he was standing up for another kid AND he hit back (he still had the serious crap beat out of him, it was not pretty but still). Then afterwards he told the Principal the truth about what happened, instead of being too scared to rat out the other kids. I could not be more proud of him! He's such an awesome kid, I could cry when I think about it. I think that's how we'll fix this problem. All of us who have been bullied, we now have the hindsight and the strength to know how to handle it. So we just need to pass on our knowledge and experiences to the kids that are being bullied. The only way to get it to really stop, is to have the kids handle it themselves. So we have to help them get the skills and confidence to do so.
Seriously, I actually wrote this company about two years ago because some of their flavors have both aspertame and HFCS (BOTH! What?!). Their labels should actually read: "Crush cup instead of eating."
Ingredients for the Eau de Evil: "Smouldering opium tar, tobacco absolute, green tea, black plum, kush, ambergris accord, ambrette seed, and costus root." Cigarettes, uppers, weed, illegal whale hunting, aphrodisiacs, and exploited West African resources? I guess those are all things you'd smell at the RNC....* *See what I did there? I called Republicans evil. That was a well executed joke. I'll see myself out...
"GIBSON: ...But, no one expressed any anger at me." I feel like this should be impossible, like he's totally lying, but then seeing how the reporter totally coddles him in this interview, I realized he probably does live in a buffered dream world where he can do no wrong because he's wealthy and famous which is obviously why he acts the way he does... Sigh.
Also, I hate wine culture. I think it's just a snootzy way for suburbanites to hide their alcoholism. "Oh, I never drink outside of a couple glasses of wine with dinner, but red wine's good for your heart. Besides Jim Darling and I picked it up at a little vineyard in Provence. Europeans drink wine everyday, it's cultural."
You know who would be great on this show? Our girlfriend!* *By "our girlfriend" I obviously mean Gwenyth Paltrow.
Last week my friend tried to set me up with a guy who works at a rodeo and I was all "Pssssh, what about me says I want to date a guy who works at a rodeo?" That was before this video when I was imaging Luke Perry from 8 Seconds. Now seeing this insanitarium, I really wonder what she thinks of me... yikes.
Don't worry ladies, the carpet DOES match the drapes...
I don't know how I feel about this movie. On the one hand, it's still women and weddings which is the worst, but on the other hand it's about a woman who is placed in a wedding situation and is clearly someone who should have nothing to do with weddings ever (I feel like I could relate to this since I am constantly placed in these situations--weddings, baby showers, GNO WOOT!, etc. because of my gender, even though my entire personality clashes with these things).
There is something about rich people and their bathrooms. When my Italian-American father was growing up in Jersey, he would help my grandfather with his painting business. He has some pretty severe feelings against the wealthy and it had a lot to do with how they were treated. He told me that it was really common for wealthy homeowners not to let them use the toilet, even if they were miles from a public restroom. Like, he'd be painting someone's living room and ask to use the bathroom and they would tell him no. Once a woman told him that he couldn't use the bathroom and that if he left the job site she'd hire someone else for the job. Being really poor they couldn't lose the job or the family would have went hungry , so he had to hold it until the day was out.
I've seen this here twice now. I think it's a sign. You guys, I'm going to A'geM'ing'le.com, because if there is one thing I can say for certain is that I LOVE the idea of dating an older man.* #ladiesamirite *hint hint Grampa Gabe
I don't buy DVDs because they are wasteful and bad for the environment, not because I'm a pirate. I also never got a blu-ray player because I was pissed that as soon as made the switch from VHS to DVD, I would have had to AGAIN buy everything only to do it just in time for the new format and so on. Gross. I just want to watch a movie, not get caught in an endless consumer cycle and if that means I have to do it without awesome high fives, so be it.
In England they call abortions "lorries." #notintendedtobeafactualstatement
Brendan Fraser has always confused me. He'll be going along making Monkeybone and Bedazzled or George of the Jungle or whatever Hollywood Post-It and then suddenly he'll be all "Okay guys, I'm just gonna go make Gods and Monsters now" or all "I'm totally gonna star in The Quiet American now." You're either a poop actor in poop films or an awesome one in awesome films. Stop confusing me.
Seriously, you're distracting me from ungoofing Jon Hamm.
Of course he does, you rap to a girl about sex then she gives it to you. Duh.
Hey remember at the end of Highlander II (of course you do!) when MacLeod takes down the shield with his final quickening (the sacrament)? Then the nightmare clouds dissipated and all of mankind was able to begin to break from their angst (rejoin God)? Then there was that touching moment where Louise finally sees the stars for the first time in her life (enlightenment)? Powerful stuff. Powerful stuff. So see, you guys, this isn't that weird.
Gabe, remember how you were all "Let's not pull pranks guys, they are lame." Yet here you are, dangling the comic gold that was about to get me through the next six hours of my horrible job, and nope, it's a prank.
Some of the past T14TTs are the funniest things ever on the internet. Lindsay in the "Just Jack" shirt, a post-pubescent Mande at Brokencyde and his brilliant rewrite of The Overton Window, it's all so good!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could sex the goof right out of him...
Ugh, you guys Hulu just pranked me.
I only ever pulled one April Fool's Prank and it was awful. The night before I put chili powder in my parent's coffee. Why this particular prank, no idea, I was like 9... So anyways, I forgot to tell them I did this for about 15 YEARS lol, until one day I thought of it and casually mentioned it over of all things coffee. Apparently, they remembered and not knowing of the prank, they just thought the coffee was bad and stop buying that brand. Now I feel like I owe Yuban 15 years of business to make up for being a jerk. Take it from me monsters, pranking is not only bad for relationships, it's bad for the free market (Kory is that you?)...
NO--because with a world full of tsunamis and nuclear disaster in Japan, violent civil unrest in almost all of the Mid-east, workers rights being eroded, et al., it's a little more than naive (read: insulting) for these jerks to think that happy time blanket forts are going to save the day.
According to this map ("Male Ego Check") I saw on Time via Buzzfeed yesterday, I don't think men from Sudan should feel bad for themselves at all... #wonderingwhatbangsisdoingtonight
"Sure she was 11, but she was dressed like a much older whore."--Chris Brown, Cleveland TX
Look I can get behind the whole "forgive them for they know not what they do" concept. However Chris, I have a huge problem with your statement: 1. I've had horrible things happen in my life (everyone has), that does not justify me doing anything awful to anyone else. So it doesn't matter what happened to him in the past. He's an adult. 2. When it got to the point that he was facing legal problems over his behavior--wait, make that when it got to the point that he was brutally hurting someone he loved (I'm assuming) he should have taken steps to begin changing his behavior. The fact that he trashed this dressing room proves he did not. 3. The most obvious and important part of why no one should feel bad for Chris Brown is the fact that it is very clear form his actions on GMA that he is way more concerned with how the beating has impacted HIM and HIS career than how it has impacted the people he hurt (and not just his direct victims, but his fans). Fuck that dude.
The Overton Window as a prime time drama, a daytime talk show called "Tea Time with Dick Armey", The Joy of Chalkboarding, 24, Sarah Palin's Alaska, a weekly movie night featuring the Left Behind series, Red Dawn, and The Christmas Cottage...
Great job everyone! It was a fun week and I learned an incredibly valuable lesson. That is, parents should never encourage their 13-yo children to become famous singers (looking at you Papa Zack, Mommy Black).
