  Quite possibly the funniest thing I have seen in a long time
A while back, the Bush/Cheney '04 website offered up a poster generator where people could create and print a B/C'04 poster with a catchy tagline of their own authoring. Well, of course, when those nasty liberals caught wind of this, there began production of some satirical--and quite hilarious--Bush/Cheney '04 posters. It didn't take long for Bush/Cheney to notice what was happening, and unfortunately, the Slogantor has been revamped. But not before a myriad of anti-Bush/Cheney posters were created and saved, all at the expense of the Bush/Cheney campaign. :)

For a good chuckle, check out the Sloganator Tribute.

  Would someone PLEASE kick Colin in the 'nads?!?
Oh. My.

I absolutely HATE Colin! What a freakin' jackass! I knew things would be bad on The Race once Charla and Mirna were gone, but holy crap, that Colin is a psycho. You know, eveyone made fun of Mirna for being a tad overreactive, but she certainly hit the nail on the head when she characterized Colin as having a Napoleon Complex, and needing to dominate and domineer his girlfriend and everyone around him.

And, please, Christie, grow a set of balls. I almost slapped my TV when she apologized to him for his yelling at her and acting like a douchebag.

As of now, I am totally on the Chip and Kim/Bowling Moms bandwagon.

And, could someone please give those twins some Ritalin or something? Sheesh...slow down a sec and read the clue and THINK for Chrissakes! They are a pair of human spasms.

*sigh*

Can't wait for next week when Colin has an aneurysm while completing a task...

  A Sad-assed Day
*sniff*

I shed a tear tonight for Charla and Mirna. And, for a few seconds there, I totally thought Phil was going to, as well. It was quite obvious that Phil was partial to Charla, and sad to see those two go. I give that Little Big Woman credit. She sure showed everyone what she was made of. Bravo, Charla.

I don't care who wins TAR5 now, as long as it is not Colin and Christie. Officially, I am rooting for the Bowling Moms. Second choice, Chip and Kim, even though they both kept talking about arriving in Nairobi as "finally in Africa." Of course, I am sure they both realize that they have been in Africa since their arrival in Egypt...

Also, since WHEN did eating eggs become such a horrendous experience? Geez! What a bunch of wimps! Scrambled eggs, people! Sure, it was one massive ostrich egg, but it's still an egg!

*sigh*

Note: Even though they exited the show this evening, Charla made sure to up the ass-count by one, again. Good times.

  Like Joe and I were ripped apart.
I'm not sure if I ever mentioned this, but back at the end of April, my car was keyed while parked. The idiot that did it actually wrote (what I can only assume was) his name.

"JOE"

Tonight, I dropped my car off at the auto body shop, where it shall remain for 2 days. When next I see my car again, "JOE" will be gone.

In honor of my removal of the silent passenger I have had traveling with me for the last 3 months, I offer this quote:

"Hello, Joe. How are you? I love you ... You invade my soul. "

  More ASS, all the time!
Woo HOO!!!!

What a great night for TAR5! The Bowling Moms bounced back well, and the Fat Douche Bags are GONE!

Also, on an extra exceptional note, Charla used the word "ASS" THREE times tonight!

Damn, I love that Little Big Woman.

And, it's now official: Mirna is too annoying for me to stand anymore.
 
  Wherever I go, she goes
I was reading the paper yesterday and saw an article about the show Nip/Tuck.

It appears that a couple of local gals are going to be guest stars on the show this season. The 42-year-old conjoined twins, Lori and Reba (formerly, Lori and Dori--Dori changed her name to "Reba" in honor of--yes, you guessed it--Reba McEntire, who is her idol and inspiration to become a country music performer) Schappell of Reading will appear as (what else?) conjoined twins having separation surgery. Lori and Reba are currently the oldest living conjoined females.

Man, these two are everywhere! I can remember walking around the mall as a kid and seeing them browsing stores, Lori, wheeling Dori's little chair around--since Dori...er, Reba...is much smaller than Lori, and would not be able to walk. It was no big deal. They weren't all "famous" back then. They were just "those twins." Then, they started popping up on "The Howard Stern Show" and crap like that. Now, they are going to be on Nip/Tuck.

Well, I'll be damned.

  The New Laurel and Hardy?
Ok...

It has been at least a year in the making, but thanks to an extended period of convalescence due to removal of one pelicula, Zam and I have FINALLY thrown together a team blog. Yes, you can now get twice the humor, twice the sarcasm, all for one low, low price.

We have no idea what this blog is about, or whether we will use our powers for good or evil. We just know that we finally have joined forces. So...

Go check us out, yo.

  A Good Man Is Hard to Find
From one of my all-time favorite Southern Gothic writers, Flannery O'Connor...

Today's Quotation:


"I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my
tongue is always in it."


~Flannery O'Connor, who died on this day in 1964

That's the story of my life, mang.

  Maybe we didn't understand, It's just the end of the world...
So, last night, I was at the Curiosa Festival, which made a stop in Philadelphia (ok, it was the Tweeter Center in Camden, but, it's practically Philly). The festival featured 8 bands--most of which we had never heard of before. Thursday and Interpol were the only two besides The Cure that we knew of. We arrived sometime around 6pm, hoping to maybe catch a band or two that we would like--great new music is always a good thing. We figured that since the bands were hand-picked by The Cure, they couldn't be all bad. We were wrong. When we got there and found our seats, Mogwai was just finishing up their last song. Well, maybe "song" is being generous. I should say that they were finishing up the end of their loud, discordant cacophony. *Whew* Thank goodness we only had to hear the end of that one. Another band on the B-Stage gave our poor ears a break for about 30 minutes. The next band on the main stage was Rapture. Personally, I thought that they started off strong, but then began to stink more and more as they got further and further into their set. Brian, on the other hand, said, "They sucked from the start." Interpol was the only Main Stage act (besides The Cure) that we actually enjoyed.

Going into the event, we knew that Thursday is a band that we enjoy; imagine our disappointment upon our arrival to find that they were relegated to the B-Stage. After sitting through the end of Mogwai, and all of Rapture--both of whom played on the Main Stage--we were even more baffled as to why Thursday played on the B-Stage.

Of course, the only reason that we even went was for one more chance to see The Cure live, so, sitting through the other bands was relatively worth it.

The Cure was just amazing. Robert Smith is still as strong as ever with his vocals, and they just happened to play virtually all of my favorite Cure tunes. I am not one who is good at remembering setlists, but the following are the songs that I can definitely remember were played:

Fascination Street
Lullabye
Love Song
Pictures of You
Untitled
The End of the World
alt.end
Maybe Someday
Just Like Heaven
In-Between Days
Charlotte Sometimes (what a great surprise this one was!)
(I Don't Know What's Going) On
Faith
Boys Don't Cry (second encore)

I can tell you, one of the highlights of the show was when Robert Smith, after playing several songs from Disintegration, introduced yet another Disintegration tune with, "Here's another song from our new album--called Disintegration." But, come on...who doesn't LOVE that album?

Anyway, it was a great show overall. And, of course, here is the obligatory camera phone pic:

The microscopic Cure, during 'Faith'

(You can't tell from this picture, but we had some pretty great seats. They were probably the best seats I have ever had for a Tweeter Center show. There were 3 rows of VIP seating in front of us, and we were the first row in the 200's section--dead center, right next to the sound guys. I had all the leg room in the world. It was like luxury seating. Aahhh....)
