Watch this (video is blurry for the first couple of seconds):
”He grabbed it in his mouth, just like Pacman,” Biada said. ”He just ate it right there.”
That’s the best line from the news story that goes with it.
This guy has seen a lot of spy movies.
There’s not much left to say after that. Haha.

I should have posted this last week, but Thanksgiving kind of got in the way. I present to you the Christian Side Hug rap. This is not a joke. I promise.
I personally have huge problems with side hugs. They seem so insincere. So if you hug me, make it a full frontal. How naughty!

Happy Friday, readership!
Oh, hello. Me again. Since the real job is getting in the way of my bloggy job, I’ve condensed a week’s worth of what I liked into one fabulous Friday post. Does that work for you? I sure hope so!
You all know how much I love stories about sci-fi weirdos (apparently the cool way to spell it now is SyFy. Anybody else notice that the Sci-Fi Channel changed its spelling?). Well, here’s a good one! Computational linguistics expert d’Armond Speers spoke only Klingon to his son for the first three years of the boy’s life. Ummm, WHAT? He claims it was an experiment to see if his son would learn it like any normal human language in the early developmental stages.
He just confirmed what every child already knows– you are an experiment, and your parents are trying to corrupt you and make you as uncool as possible.
Here is the best quote from the article:
As for Speers, who still gets nostalgic when he recalls singing the Klingon lullaby “May the Empire Endure” with his son at bedtime, the experiment was a dud. His son is now in high school and doesn’t speak a word of Klingon.
Stay strong, young Speers!
Like any good yuppie bleeding-heart liberal, I have an iPhone. We all know that there is an app for everything, but this new one is so hilarious and wonderful that I have to share it with you. It’s totally politically nerdy, but it’s a bobble head guide to every single member of Congress. Here is my favorite member of Congress:
Best 99 cents I’ve ever spent. Download Bobble Rep.
Speaking of politics, lots of good stuff going on, eh? Lieberman sucks more than ever and the women’s movement took two steps back no thanks to Rep. Stupak.
I also remain perplexed as to how people can manipulate the messages of Christianity in light of healthcare reform. To me, it seems that giving a little extra so our brothers and sisters will be able to be healthy and able to succeed in life is following that message. Yet even the Christian right wing (like my girrrrrrl, Michele Bachman) has condemned it as communism, fascism, Marxism and any other ism you can imagine that probably doesn’t make sense. Grrr.
Hey, speaking of Christianity– I know people are complaining about how early it’s coming, but sweet Jesus I love Christmastime. And I love the new Gap ads! Add being a Gap backup dancer to my bucketlist, right after being a Fanta Girl and a dancing iPod shadow.
Sigh.
In other news, Oprah is ending her show in 2011. I’m not too upset about this. She’s going to have her own TV station in 2011, and she’ll have 25 years of her show in syndication so I really don’t see the big deal. They’ll still be enough of O’s wisdom to go around.
Oh, and just in time for a junky fastfood lunch:
But you know where you should really go? Chipotle.
Okay, I think that’s it for now. Miss me, because I miss you.

If you are fed up with federal politics and just need some new faith in government (or want to see something clever and aesthetically pleasing), read this:
Out of many, one.

Oh huzzah, huzzah! It’s Friday! My heart is singing because I have been dreaming about sweatpants all day long and I can now see a light at the end of the long 9-5 tunnel. But that has nothing to do with today’s YouTube clip of the day. Silly me.
I love this video. This should be unsurprising because I genuinely wish that my life was a lighthearted musical. Things like flash mob dances and giant sing-alongs give me hope. Sigh. Anyway, I think these people are on to something. There are two more videos from The Fun Theory, which is run by Volkswagen. Das most clever!
Have a wonderful weekend, y’all!

It’s almost Halloween, one of my favorite holidays, and I am freaking out because I have absolutely no idea what I want to be. I feel like this year needs to be particularly good, since I was so entrenched in the campaign last year I didn’t even realize it was Halloween. Somebody call the wahhhhhmbulance.
Anyway, my beloved HuffPo has posted some hilariously adorable costumes for babies. Perhaps I’ll just take one of the ideas and adjust it a bit. I’m thinking the WALL-E costume would be super cute in my size. No? Okay. I always forget that Halloween means I’m supposed to dress skanky.
Click here for the slideshow!
Speaking of last year’s election (Yes, yes, I KNOW that’s it’s almost been a year since the election, but this study just came out!) this news story kind of sucks for our male McCain voting readership. I have a feeling that demographic isn’t very high on this blog, but we are committed to reporting the strangest news to ALL of our readership.
According to a story from ABC news:
Republican men nationwide may have experienced a drop in testosterone levels the night Barack Obama was elected president, according to the results of a small study that found another link between testosterone and men’s moods.
But don’t worry boys, I’m sure you’ve gotten it back. I meant the testosterone. Not the election. Love you!
In case you’ve been living under a rock, here are some Youtube videos that you should have seen by now:
Teehee, it’s a drunk guy. And this one:
Cleverness abounds in the Democratic party! HUZZAH!
And ONE MORE THING. My friend over at Herding Scapegoats has been writing again. You should probably check it out. He is providing a rare look into the male psyche, addressing serious things like male jealousy and pooping.

Awww, shucks. This made me tear up a bit.
Philip Spooner, a lifelong Republican and WWII veteran, makes the case for gay marriage at a meeting in Maine. I can really picture my grandfather, who was also a Republican and WWII vet, saying these exact words.
Happy day before Friday!

I’ve been a big T-Pain fan for awhile (it has more to do with the fact that I am amazed at how he is featured in EVERY rap song and less about the music) and have recently become obsessed with the program Auto-tune, which he made famous and the Auto-tune the News guys made even better. It’s hilarious. I was going to write about it myself, but then stumbled across a clip of Ellen talking about it, and let’s face it– she’s funnier.
Oh, and the “I am T-Pain” iPhone application? Already downloaded it, shawty. Worth it!
Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday! Also, I’d like to give a bloggy birthday shout out to our recently-returned-from-Korea-practically-Korean correspondent, Alicia. Happy birfday, bebe!

Hi, remember me? Yeah, it’s been awhile. Sowwy.
Lots of things have contributed to my lack of posting (turns out I had swine flu!), but no need to dwell on the past (oink, oink). To the future!
There have been SO MANY THINGS I have wanted to post about, and my wonderful friends continue to send me quirky things on the interwebs that they know I will adore– like this video from my friend Laura. I think I’ve watched it five times.
AMAZING.
Or this Web site, www.peopleofwalmart.com, which has been sent to me by faithful readers Miguel and Civil War Dave.
These times are crazier than ever. Jon and Kate do nothing but fight, Fox News’ Shep Smith is starting to sound like a socialist fascist communist Democrat, the Republicans are threatening to teabag the American people and Jessica Simpson’s dog was eaten by a coyote! Yikes! Those are clearly the most important things going on in the world today.
And as if life in general wasn’t dangerous enough, Alexander McQueen has decided to introduce TEN INCH high heels to the world:
Grosssssss. I don’t know, but something about them reminds me of giraffe hooves (I’m a nature girl), which is oddly appropriate. There are more, you can see them here.
But hey, at least one thing is right in this world. Jim and Pam are getting hitched tonight! RAWR!

I know you were dying to see this video. Heidi Montag “performed” her “hot new single” at last night’s Miss Universe pageant. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Oh goodness.
Something is very wrong with those pants.
Notice how all of her dancers are brunettes? Strange.
Well, let’s get one thing out of the way– there is no way in all of God’s green goodness that girl is singing unless there is a synthesizer actually implanted in her throat. Her dancing is on par with Julia Stiles in “Save the Last Dance”, so mediocre at best. And the costume? Yikes, girl. Britney already did the nude colored body suit thing, and it actually fit her properly.
Those silly Pratts. Spencer thinks he can rap, she thinks she can sing and dance. What next?!
I actually watched a solid five minutes of the Miss Universe pageant, and oddly enough it didn’t include Heidi’s performance. I got to see the top 15 in the evening gown segment, which also featured a ten second clip of why each girl loved her dress. Simple and elegant were the key words the girls used, yet none of the dresses were simple or elegant. Meh. Oh, and in case you didn’t know, Miss Venezuela won.
