When your possitively, absolutely, have to kill every muthafuckin' battlebot in the room...

...and you have to do it with style

I only got the lobablanca "pun" after reading Tony's poem.

What pun? Oh...that pun.

OK, the year is quite young yet, but here is my favorite sentence of the year so far:

"However, his recent behavior chips away massively at any respect reserves he may have previously stockpiled. Massa was part of the 2008 coup by the Democrats to take control of Congress, becoming a freshman representative from New York, that awesome state that’s given us such classic politicians as Rudy “I like to dress in drag and fuck around on my wives (but not at the same time…yet)” Giuliani and recently disgraced governor and winner of the New York Chapter of Hookers and Hos’ 2009 “John of the Year” award, Eliot Spitzer-Swallows."

I'd love to think that kids were clever enough when Eliot was the right age that the "Spitzer-Swallows" line was put in his face at least once ... but I doubt it.

Oh, never underestimate the power of young dirty minds. I can remember making and hearing some very obscene things on the playground when I was a kid

That Mousekateer picture is pretty amazing. It looks like an album cover by an American Sithis-influenced indie-rock band from the 90s.

That's one of my favorite photos from my childhood. My aunt was still in her black and white photography phase. I guess she dug the black of the Mouse ears paired with the frightening white of me.

I am so jealous! Going all the way back to high school, San Antonio is one of my favorite cities to visit.
Sounds like it is much more touristy than it was when I was there last, though.

And, to be fair, Toronto is rocketing up the charts on my favorite cities to visit -- here lately.

I think you're probably not offended by those Snickers commercials because they don't come from a mean-spirited place. They are also lampooning male dudeliness more than they are poking fun at female stereotypes. They use a female stereotype as a weapon to highlight the ridiculousness of the male stereotype. Or something.

Plus, Betty and Liza FTW.

Betty White, FTW, indeed. She even succeeded in getting me to watch Saturday Night Live this past weekend. I haven't watched an episode of SNL in probably 6 years.

I watched the part about Betty White's muffin on youtube. Moist!

I always suggest Agatha Christie. She gets kind of a bad rap, but she actually is pretty great. And I just finished Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man which was splendid. Of course, these are all books written 80 years ago. Except for the new titles in the Hard Case Crime series (written to fit in with the older titles), I know nothing of modern mystery.

Betty White's muffin, FTW. Oh, and the skit on NH #69 that pertained partially to Betty White? Had to stop walking because I was trying so hard not to LOL in front of fellow track geeks.

You know, I've never read Agatha Christie. Actually, all I really know about her works is what has been turned into television shows/movies. My mom loved Poirot and Miss Marple. I think I practically bought her the entire run of both detective series.

I should see what Christie offerings are at the library, because I really would like to give the mystery genre another go. Can't let one mediocre author spoil an entire genre for me...

My first ride was also a Chevette. Mine was brown. It was named "Boba Vette".

The thing was a tank. Best car in the snow EVAR.

Boba Vette?! I have supreme "awesome car name" envy right now. Best. Name. EVAR.
