You say it's her birthday?

Happy Birthday to one half (some might say the prettier, smarter, and all-around more important half of the blog), MS. MEGAN ROMERO!!!!!

Megan, go out there and drink yourself into oblivion, eat until you feel like you might pass out, and dance until all of your friends are suffeciently embarrassed that they are with you. In other words, don't do anything different today than any other day.

I love you!!!

Get Your Free On

There are so many reasons to get out and vote.  The failing economy, California's budget crisis, the Prop 8 debate, the wars in Irag & Afghanistan.  We all want and need to see some major changes happen in our country.  And casting your vote is the only way to make sure those changes happen.  No matter the reason, one thing is certain: more Americans will be voting today than in any other election in my lifetime.

So what's the best reason to vote today?  You guessed it: FREE SHIZ!  I already got my free tall coffee from Starbucks just by saying "I voted!"  I would get a free dount from Krispy Kreme if the failing economy hadn't already made the only one in the area close down.  Later I will head down to Ben & Jerry's to get my free scoop!  

Mmmmmm.... democracy never tasted so sweet and creamy

Megan and Barbara would like to take this opportunity to thank these fine establishments for encouraging people to get out and vote today.  And also for displaying such capitalist greed that is precisely what lead to the downfall of our economy.

O Blogger, Where Art Thou?

Some of you may be wondering why we haven't blogged in a while. Well as most of you know, I ("I" being the Barbara half of the blog), have been unemployed for several months now. I know what you're thinking: "Why, Barbara. That should leave you ample time to update your blog. We should be seeing several posts a day!" Well, it's just not that simple folks. There are so many reasons NOT to blog these days. So we decided to let you in on just a few of the things keeping us away from the blogosphere lately.

The Election
Keeping up with this election is a full time job! With every news outlet in the country devoting almost 24 hours to covering this historic event, it's hard not to get addicted to it all. It's a classic story: a half African-American/half white man running against a 100 year old former P.O.W. and his ex-beauty queen running mate. Ok, so maybe it's not all that classic- but that's what makes this all so fascinating. And if you're like us, most of your day is spent searching youtube to see if there are any new hilarious Tina Fey sketches from SNL. Thank you, Tina, for giving us something to laugh at while our country stands at the brink of a complete economic and social breakdown. We salute you!

Barb's Nephew

I finally know what it's like to be a mom. Ok, not really. But I know what it's like to be a part-time nanny. Not one of those "Super Nannies" you see on tv. More like just someone who babysits for a few hours a day. I finally know what it's like to be a babysitter! And it's pretty fantastic. This little bundle of cuteness and joy keeps me occupied during the most crucial blogging hours of the day. Sooo... it's his fault!

Megan's Job
My (This is the Megan part of the blog) job has been sooooooooo busy (the amount of o's really shows you how busy) that I have only really had time for online shopping, updating my blog, reading SF Gate and asking the office why oh why there is so much damn free food in the kitchen. See! I have no time!

The Current Economic state of the US
Both of us spend at least half the day hiding under our bed and desk respectivily hoping that if we just sleep it off this whole crazy mess will be over once we wake up.

Someecards

With all the unrest, socio-political and otherwise, that's currently happening in the good ol' US of A, someecards.com is constantly coming up with new and hilarious ways to look at the demise of our country. We find that looking at this site is a great distraction from our daily worries- like not having a job for 4 months, etc....

Oh I check it...

Don't think I forgot about what we had Barb. It was awesome and something I have never experienced before. You were my first, you know blog partner and no one can take that away from us.

So what do you say? Should we start this old thing up again and see if she runs. There might be a few kinks to work out but it's like riding a bike, you never forget!

Oh and Barb, I have been to the doc and she says I am clean, which begs the question... who have you been blogging with?

Do people still look at this?

Hi Megan.... Do you remember me?  We used to uh, well- you know... "blog" together.  I know I haven't really been around in a while... but... wow, this is harder than I thought.... 

Ok, I'm just going to say it... I hope this isn't awkward... but.... well, I went to the doctor the other day...  and....well..  I think you should get checked out.

Feel free to call me if you... want to.  My number is in the book.

Highway To The Danger Zone

So last night I did something that has been long overdue.  I finally watched one of the great classics in the pantheon of American film.  Yes, that's right.  I'm talking about Top Gun.  All this time I thought it was a typical action movie about fighter pilots.  How wrong I was!  This is actually a thought provoking and touching film about gays in the military.  The film takes place in the 80s before that whole "don't ask, don't tell" thing.  At this time, gays were forbidden to be in the military.  So what choice did these folks have other than hiding their true feelings?  

Meet Maverick (played by the out-and-proud Scientologist, Tom Cruise).  It's completely obvious that Mav is in love with his "partner" Goose (played by the curiously cast Anthony Edwards- did anyone else notice he is the only one in the volleyball scene with his shirt ON?- good choice).  But Goose is stuck in a loveless sham marriage with Meg Ryan (who kind of looks like a boy, right?).  Mav and Goose have to suppress their love.  This makes Mav a horrible cockface with an obvious deathwish.  He would rather die than live without his Goose.

But it doesn't end there.  This is a classic love triangle.  Enter Iceman (Val Kilmer with some really pretty blonde high-lites).  Iceman has the hots for Maverick.  But since Mav is so obviously in love with Goose, Iceman's feelings turn to anger.  Don't forget, all this is happening while they are trying to hide their sexuality from everyone.  Closet cases are often very hostile.  Iceman is no exception.  He pursues Maverick to no avail.

I don't want to spoil it for you in case you haven't seen the film, but something happens to get Goose "out of the picture" as they say.  This puts Ice in the perfect posish to swoop in and catch Mav on the rebound.   In the end, Mav and Ice profess to be each

 other's Wingmen.  That's right, they are no longer in the closet.  They are finally able to accept who they are and say "We're here, we're queer, we're pilots!"

So don't deprive yourself of this wonderful film.  It is a very important look at what it means to be a gay man in the military.  And there is lots of sweet eye candy.  Nothing is hotter than a gay man in uniform.  Mmmm hhmmmmm.....

Come on over to my house...

Hey friends! Megan here, so Live Blogging is all the rage and like most followers and conformists such as myself I have attempted some Live Blogging.

Enjoy!

PS. Barb are you there? It's me, Megan!!

Finally!

L. Lohan's legging line is out! Thank goodness because so many woman have been wearing dress/shirts for a few months now waiting to cover up with really tight black pants that probably look good on someone who weights as much as a skeleton.

She has shiny leggings and zipper leggings and lets not forget knee pad leggings. Woman of America how many times have you been wearing leggings and wished your leggings came with knee pads? Round number, estimate... maybe somewhere in the ballpark of negitive 364 times. We thought so!

Cheers to you Lohan! Should shinny leggings be on our shopping list you can rest assured that after going to H&M, Nordstrom, Forever 21, Sears or the movie "Grease" your pants will be the next ones to considerer buying until realizing they are $99.

Barb is going solo!

So I still haven't found a job. Which is a really big shock for me. I thought with the state of the economy as it is that employers would basically be knocking down my door to get me to work for them! But alas, it hasn't quite happened like that. So I still have a ton of free time on my hands. And in between the nude sunbathing and daytime TV surfing, I have decided to do what any red-blooded American should do with his or her free time- start my own blog! At least I'm doing something productive with my time off, right???

And I will!

Who is Yankee Doodle?

Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans. Most people think of Independence Day as just an excuse to have hot dogs, light illegal fireworks and tear up to the song "Proud to be an America" (and don't tell me you don't, we all do. there is something in that damn song that I hear once a year that gives me goosebumps). It's much more than that folks.

July 4th marks the adaptation of our Declaration of Independence, we don't know if it was signed that day but it was sent to the printer and that is just as good right? Also it wasn't until 1941 federal employees got the day off as a paid holiday, it had been an unpaid holiday since 1870! Also John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the 50th Anniversary of the US on July 4, 1826, conscience? The story seems full of holes, Thomas Jefferson was in a great deal of dept when he passed and John Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson lives" since he was unaware of his passing, interesting. They were once rivals so one would obviously think Tupac vs. Biggie but they later became friends on their quest for independence.

So when you are playing with sparklers and over eating on watermelon remember that this day is celebrated because we as a nation are pretty kick ass. Now go hug your neighbor and please do read the wiki pages for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, history is so interesting. Why don't I remember this at all in school?

Megan's Employment

Day 743 of the hostage situation.

While Barb is off enjoying her vacation from employment I am here at work not enjoying a vacation from employment.

On my non vacation I did come across this amazing picture of Hall and Oat’s on none other then everyone’s favorite and most frustrating toy, the Etch-A-Sketch. It made my employment seem more like a vacation even if just for a brief moment in time. Thank you Etch-A-Sketchist for your skills in Etch-A-Sketching.

Barb's Vacation from Employment

Day 8.
So one of the perks of being unemployed is being able to get trashed any night of the week and not worry about getting up early for work the next day! This is something I also did while I had a job, but now I feel a little less ridiculous doing it. So last night I went to Blake's on Telegraph. They were holding the afterparty for the True Colors show that was at the Greek Theatre yesterday. The tour is to raise money for PFLAG and features Cyndi Lauper, the B-52's, and some others. The afterparty was so much fun. We danced with Cyndi Lauper! And the B-52s! And Carson from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy! Oh yeah, and I grabbed his butt. A lot. Sorry?

Enjoy!

Barb's Vacation from Employment

Day 4.
I try to look at every day of my little vacation as a chance to learn something new! There is a great big extraordinary world out there that exists between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm. It's easy to forget that when we are holed up in our cubicles all day. But I have been released from the tyranny of those harsh florescent lights and my eyes are opening to a whole new world (a new fantastic point of view).

So I know you are wondering what valuable insight have I gained today that will help propel me into a new realm of understanding this crazy universe. Well today I learned that even if you are a tall, lanky man with pronounced features, you can easily pass as a woman if you put on a dress and a little lipstick, AS LONG AS YOUR WIG DOESN'T FALL OFF! This important lesson was brought to you by Danny Tanner and Joey Gladstone. It turns out they had to dress up as women to infiltrate a sorority... or something. I don't know, I was barely paying attention. Anyway it totally worked until Joey decided to get a limbo line going. Mistake #1: When you are a man trying to pass as a woman to retrieve a fraternity seal that was stolen from you 10 years ago, NEVER suggest any games that require bending over. You are practically begging for your wig to fall off. And then you're in big trouble mister, because the second your wig falls off, everyone will know you are really a man! I guess it's the same effect as the Superman/Clark Kent glasses on/glasses off thing. Who said daytime tv wasn't educational?

Oh crap, I gotta go! What I Like About You is on. I can't wait to see what lesson Amanda Bynes has in store for me today.

Barb's Vacation from Employment

Day 2.
And this is why I don't have a job....

Ok, so on day 2 of my vacay (yesterday) I had an interview!  YAY ME!  Right??  This could be it.  The perfect job.  The one that will save me from the hell of daytime tv.  So I woke up early and since my appointment wasn't until 3, I went to the gym to start the day off right!  Get that energy and confidence up!  I had a great workout and a leisurely lunch.  Then I returned home to shower and gussy myself up.

Although I was pretty sure of the general area where the interview was, I decided to look up the directions anyway, so I would be leaving nothing to chance.  After all, it was only 1:30 so I had plenty of time.  So I grabbed the piece of paper that I had written all the info down on.  Ummm.... TUESDAY 1:00?  Hmmmm.....  Perfect.

Dear Potential Employer,
I hope you will still consider me for this position which entails a ton of appointment keeping and attention to detail even though I wasn't able to keep my ONE appointment for the day straight.  I hope you will understand that my priorities were with going to the gym and eating a casual lunch and NOT with simply checking a piece of paper to make sure that I would be at your interview at the right time.

Love you!  Call me!

Hearts and hugs,
Bearb

Barb's Vacation from Employment

In case you haven't heard, I have decided to take a voluntary forced vacation from employment. That's right.  Although we aren't officially in a recession yet, I have joined the millions of Americans lining up at the unemployment office.  For your enjoyment I am going to chronicle my adventures over the next few days (or weeks... or, oh dear God, months) so you too can know what it's like to be out of work!  Wooo!

Day 1.

10:31 am Woke up.  Had mild panic attack thinking I was 3 hours late for work.  Panic subsided when I remembered I don't have a job anymore.  

10:32 am Had another (larger) panic attack when I remembered 

I don't have a job anymore.

11:00 am Watched daytime tv

11:30 am Contemplated suicide after realizing the Jerry Springer show is still alive and kicking.

12:00 pm Went back to bed.

2:00 pm Came online intending to job hunt.  Accidentally wrote this blog instead. Oops.

Becks' Bulge is coming to Macy's Union Sq...

Megan here!

That is right folks, you can see David Beckham today at Union Square in San Francisco!

OMG!

The blogosphere is abuzz. There will be pics and posts and details of every word he spoke and how the sun light hit his face to enhance his rugged jaw line to perfection.

Also I know a gal who works for Macy's Corporate and she has informed me that you too can meet the man, the myth the legend yourself if you buy $250 of Armani Underoo's....

Hold the phone! $250 on unmentionables??? You can get that for $233.50 cheaper at Target and throw in a pack of gum at check out. Who would buy that many tighty whiteys in order to get a glimpse at Becks?

ME! That is who. See you at Union Square where I will perfect my stalking and most likely get my first restraining order. It's a big day!

5 Summer Safety Tips!

As you know the official start of summer is just around the corner! And there is nothing better then a summer party to make you remember why winter sucks. As long as the beers are cold, the BBQ is hot, and the pool is luke you should be good to go. But in order to meet your ‘Fun in the Sun’ quota without causing any permanent injury to yourself or others, please listen to these safety tips and we will get you off on the right foot. And we do mean "get you off." Heh heh heh (creepy laugh).


#1.) Two words, boys and girls: Sun Screen!! If you are a Mexican like Megan (or in denial about your Irish heritage) an SPF 15 should do the trick, but remember to reapply after swimming or sweating. However, if you are white like Barb (or as some might say, translucent like Barb) you might need something a little stronger. Try an SPF 50 like Water Babies. Nothing says summer like a pink bottle with a picture of a baby's butt.

#2) Remember the BBQ Motto. No, not "BBQers Do It Outside." We're talking about the motto “Keep an eye on it!” It doesn't matter if you are cooking burgers, hot dogs, or lighting illegal fireworks on the 4th as long as you “keep an eye on it” you will be fine!

#3) Mayo should not be yellow. If it is, give it the toss. Or give it to your sworn enemy and tell them it's mustard. That will keep them off your back for a few days while they are puking up everything they've eaten since Christmas.

#4) Stay hydrated. Doctors recommend drinking at least 8 glasses of beer a day. And if you're gonna be out in the sun for an extended period of time, you might wanna double that. Or if you're like us, triple it.

#5) The last and most important summer safety tip: Don’t go on a three day bender in Vegas after you get back from a business trip in Europe. It will make you dizzy and tired.

Have fun and remember to think of Barb and Meg when you are soaking up those harmful ultraviolet rays and diving into a swimming pool after 5 margs and a shot of tequila! After all, what's summer without a little wreckless abandon??

Raise your glass to one horribly misguided person

It's amazing what you can find on Craigslist! We stumbled across this posting for help with a "Father of the Bride Speech." And seeing as how we are semi-ametuers at this writing thing, we decided to give it a shot!

Original post:
Wedding speech for Father of the Bride (Oakland)
I am looking for assistance in writing my "Father of the Bride" speech for my daughter's wedding at the end of June. I'd like to incorporate some comedy; ideally built around wine descriptors (e.g., light-bodied with long legs; a tart nose; may be opened immediately but may improve with further laying down)... I expect this can be done via email / internet.

Send me questions or thoughts, your qualifications and / or price... Thanks

Dear Guy,
I hope you can use this speech/toast. Seeing as how this is the most important day in your daughter's life and she has probably been planning and looking forward to it since she was a little girl, it is totally understandable that you would solicit a complete stranger to write your toast. I have never met your daughter, or the groom, or you for that matter, but nonetheless I am glad you have entrusted me to write what is possibly the most intimate and personal gesture that a father could ever make to his daughter. Oh and feel free to "jazz" it up. These speeches have a tendency to be a bit sappy and sentimental, and obviously that isn't what you are going for. So add a curse word or two. That way it will seem even MORE impersonal and thoughtless! Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Barbara Goermar

My Qualifications: I go on craigslist. Isn't that enough?

My Price: My price is negotiable. Your price is your dignity, the respect of your family, and that respect of your new son-in-law. Your daughter will most likely make you "pay" for this toast for the rest of your life.

Ahem! I would like to propose a toast to my wonderful daughter, (INSERT FEMALE NAME HERE) and her adoring husband, (INSERT MALE NAME HERE). Now I don't wanna say that my daughter is "easy" but she is cheaper than a bottle of Charles Shaw wine! But seriously, folks (saying but seriously, folks let's people know that that was the "comedy" part). I am glad to be welcoming (INSERT MALE NAME HERE) into our humble family (you can replace humble with a more appropriate adjective if it applies. "Ridiculous" "horrible" or "creepy" may be a bit more accurate). You two go together like a chardonnay and a soft cheese. Speaking of "soft cheese" have you seen my daughter in a bikini?? But seriously folks! Raise your glass and let's toast to (INSERT FEMALE NAME HERE) and (INSERT MALE NAME HERE)! Her mother (INSERT OTHER FEMALE NAME HERE) and I couldn't be happier to be marrying off our hideous slut of a daughter! Cheers!!

Megan’s Toast:
May I have your attention! (tap wine glass with fork or knife to get everyones attention). Thank you. Some of you might not know who I am as you are a friend of the groom, I am the one paying for the food you are eating and the wine we are about to toast with, I am (ENTER BRIDE'S NAME)'s father and I am so glad to be able to celebrate this happy occasion with about 50% strangers who somehow know my son-in-law. This is the part of the evening where I say something to my daughter as she embarks on the journey of wedded bliss or what I like to call hell… (crickets)… I mean right!? (look around confused that no one found that funny, talk into the mic asked “is this thing on” and laugh to yourself. Look at your daughter crying, your wife shaking her head and your son-in-law checking out the maid of honor. Raise your glass) To the happy couple! (daughter runs out of the wedding, files for divorce one month later).

90210: The New Class

The new 90210 is set and cast (for the most part) and the CW is already showing clips to get everyone excited (complete with the same 90210 theme song) is it worth the time to watch this new show of teens who are in real life 25?

Megan's Point : Have you seen previews? Well there is a brother and sister… but one is adopted and black and was “at risk”, aka Ryan Atwood. And they moved from Kansas… kind of like Minnesota. The mom, “Aunt Becky”, is a WAY hotter Mrs. Walsh so she looks more like a Kirsetn “Kiki” Cohan ala The OC. The spoiled girl or Kelly Taylor meets Summer Roberts, looks like she will sleep with her teacher… speaking of enter hot young high school teacher. We all know what hot young teacher will lead to or also known as my favorite “Dawsons Creek” story line where a precocious Pacey does the dirty with his sophomore English teacher. Then we have “Silver”, yes her name is Silver… (Any relation to David Silver??) but she is the hippie in the crew, I mean she is wearing a string around her forehead which is almost like wearing a homemade daisy crown… she also probably has a hemp backback, recycles and protests when someone gets caught drinking at prom and then told they will not graduate high school because it said in the “prom handbook” that if caught with booze they will not get to walk… I can already hear “Donna Martin Graduates!”. So pretty much what I am saying is that I can’t be more excited. They are using a formula that works and mixing 90210 with The OC meets Dawson’s Creek and the world will be a better place because this show exists. Now if only someone can get a job at The Peach Pit and hire Joe E. Tata to play Nat, everyone’s favorite waiter, we are set!

Barb's counterpoint: The new 90210, along with all other over-rated teenage melodramas will be a complete waste of time and will probably die a terrible death- much like the horrible car crash that killed Marissa (is that her name?). There are much better ways to spend one's tv time. For instance, while everyone else was watching the beautiful youngsters of West Beverly fall in and out of love, develop and recover from substance abuse, and sometimes even deal with their dad exploding in a car (that happened, right?) I was learning all the words to the newest Homey The Clown sketch. Then I got a little older and all the other kids started obsessing over the Dawson-Joey-Pacey-will-they-won't-they love triangle. I was obsessing over the Soup Nazi and the Close Talker. And finally, when all my friends started to wear mini skirts with ugg boots in an attempt to emulate the perfectly styled "effortless" laid back Southern Cali fashion of The OC (don't call it that*) I was starting to emulate the crippling neurosis of Larry David and his cohorts. So I guess what I'm trying to say is: I didn't care then, and I think I care even less now if that's possible. Does that make me some sort of traitor to my generation? Probably.

*if anyone gets this reference you win50,000 awesome points and a big kiss from me.

Megan's countercounterpoint : Are you saying you are too good for pointless teenage melodramas? Because while I was watching “Donna Martin Graduate” I was also discussing Fire Marshall Bill. While Pacey was sleeping with his teacher I was watching Jerry make his TV debut in a puffy shirt and while Seth and Summer were trying to find out if they loved each other I was… OK, so I never watched “Curb Your Enthusiasm” but I didn’t have HBO in college. The point is its pointless drivel that makes me feel like I don’t have it so bad since I have never experienced some chick copying my looks and then trying to kill me.

Barb's countercountercounterpoint: No, Meg. What I am saying is I don't care! Why are we supposed to care about the antics of another group of spoiled rich kids? Maybe if these shows were on HBO and showed full on sex and hardcore drug use like you would see at any real Beverly Hills High School, then I would watch. Until then, I'll stick with the classics on dvd, like my Strangers With Candy Collection.

Megan’s countercountercountercounterpoint: Make it DVD’s of ‘The State’ and I am in!

Barb's countercountercountercountercounterpoint: You got a deal. Omg, we are so much alike.

Drumroll Please...

Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you the TOP 5 TOP 10 LISTS on the web! Yeah, that's right. And if you're a little confused- don't worry, we all are. Meg and I have spent countless hours compiling this list. We lost our jobs, our families, and our self respect searching through every single Top 10 List on the internets to bring you the 5 absolute BEST. And you may not realize this, but there is a lot of stuff out there on the internets. We almost went insane tediously sifting through the pop-ups, pornography, and pop-up pornography that make up this world of wide webs. Seriously, no one should have to look at that much porn. But it has all been worth it to bring this list to you!

5. These folks seem like they know how to have a good time http://www.evilbible.com/Top_Ten_List.htm and let’s be honest... their graphics, is that a bloody cross?? We enjoy the fact that each point starts with “You” as if the bible is a person and wrote it’s self. Priceless.

4. No matter how many times you receive an email with stuff made from LEGO’s you will be impressed. Come one! They are LEGO’s!! http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/top-10-strangest-lego-creations. Check out the Volvo, that just might be the most impressive… wonder if the seats are comfy?

3. Here is something we can all appreciate: Top 10 Free Time Wasting Sites on the Net http://freebies.about.com/od/710/tp/timewasting.htm As you have probably figured out, we are experts in the art of wasting valuable work time on the Internet. And yes, it really is an "art." You have to be able to waste your time without being caught. It's not as easy as it sounds.

2. Top 10 Female Streakers http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2005/09/top_ten_female.html I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. Enjoy! (NSFW)

1. Last but defiantly not least is the master of the Top 10 List… Mr. David Letterman. http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/top_ten/archive/. This is an archive of every Top 10 list that some poor intern probably had as his/her summer project so lets take some time to read them… like this one from 1995 http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/top_ten/index/php/19950622.phtml

IM's and Email

Sorry for the lack of blogging some of us (Barb) have not had IM abilities and then some of us (Megan) seem to not be getting emails from one Barbara Goermar. Hopefully now that that someone (Barb) is defying office policy and being on IM we should have some fun blogs in the future. Again... our bad, we will try not to be so lame in the future. Please enjoy our conversation this morning. Things seem to be back to normal.

(8:31:35 AM) Barb: MEG!
(8:31:41 AM) Megan: OMG
(8:31:45 AM) Megan: barb!
(8:31:50 AM) Megan: Where have you been???
(8:31:50 AM) Barb: where have you been??!
(8:31:53 AM) Barb: hahah
(8:31:54 AM) Barb: omg
(8:31:54 AM) Megan: ME!
(8:31:56 AM) Megan: You!
(8:31:58 AM) Barb: great minds, huh??

Prom...

So we are a little late on the whole "Prom Dress" thing from Monday but over here at headquarters we have been having email issues. Lame.

If you can recall all the way back to Monday a girl from a high school in Texas was kicked out of the prom for wearing what looked to be a single piece of fabric. She looks fit right? It's not like she is hanging out of anywhere... what's the problem! Since we all heart the Google we decided to find other high school prom gems! Enjoy!



Don't know about you but when we think of prom we think political statement and when we think political statement we think... confederate flag?? Do you think there is a reason she is standing alone at prom?



Date? Check! Umbrella? Check! Losing virginity... questionable. It gets better, that my friends is duct tape.

Raise your hand if you think this dress is on backwards! Also raise your hand if you think she is asking for that drunk kid, class clown "Steve Sanders" type to pull down her dress! Ahh high school... those were the days!!! And our personal favorite for more then just the fact that no one moved the green folding chair from the obvious photo op...

How did you look in the mirror and think you looked OK? Do none of those people have mothers, sisters, brothers, friends, neighbors, random strangers around them to inform them no one is going to want to buy the ice cream truck if you are giving out the Popsicles for free??

Golden Girls

Excitement is drenching the Cool Sauce headquarters like a spicy barbecue- or maybe even a creamy ranch- covering Barb & Meg like 2 delicious golden brown chicken strips. They are about to publish their 50th blog post!! It’s a big deal people, so big in fact that Megan and Barb are doing a press junket (that is a fancy, made up “Hollywood” word for interviews) to commemorate this joyous occasion! Barb and Megan sat down to interview Megan and Barb and well let’s just say things got a little crazy… these two gals sure know how to interview each other! Ladies and Gents, enjoy!

Megan: Hello, Barb. Welcome.
Barb: Thank you. And hello to you too, welcome.
M: Thank you! It’s great to have you here.
B: And you as well. Enough with the pleasantries, lets get to the real dish!
M: I couldn’t agree more!! First things first. Who are you wearing?
B: I'm wearing John Mayer. Oh-- you mean my clothes?
M: WOW. OK, so you want to play that way… well I am wearing Conor Oberst…
B: Not cool, Megan. You know Conor and I have a serious thing going on. Not like you and J.May. In fact, I heard he was spotted on a beach somewhere wearing Jennifer Aniston!!!
M: One word: PhotoShop! So what was your favorite post?
B: oh gosh, that's a toughie... wow, you get right to the hardball questions, don't you? Jeez, what a ball breaker.
Come on, Meg. Let's get to the real stuff. The juice. The dirt. The gossip. I'm sure our readers (or reader) don't wanna hear about this stuff. Let's give them what they want. Let's talk about our "feud." Remember when we were frienemies? Wow, those were good times!
M: Oh you mean that time you told the world about that VHS tape I made with my ex boyfriend?? We were so young then! Babies even. We were what like 12 or 13… gosh that was almost a lifetime ago. Where is that tape??
B: Oh it's in a safe place, don't worry. And by "in a safe place" I mean currently making the rounds across the blogoshphere. Oh btw, Perez wanted me to tell you he is really impressed by that one thing you did. You know, from the cieling? He wants you to teach him.
M: Girl that is a secret I am taking to the grave!! A John Mayer roadie taught me that so you know its good.
B: Oh yeah, roadies. Gooood times. Lord knows they've taught me a thing or two or three. So let's move on from the unpleasantness of our little dispute. Even though everyone knows it totally wasn't my fault at all- if you didn't want your sex tape leaked then you should have put it in a more secure place than in a locked box inside of a safe deposit box at a bank in Switzerland. come on, you were practically begging me to put it on the internet.
M: Well when in Rome. So Barb, how does it feel to be on the verge of your 50th post?
B: I can only think of one word to describe the momentous milestone in blogdom: anti-climactic. Wait, does that count as one word or two? If it counts as two, then I can only think of two words to describe this momentous milestone in blogdom.
What about you, Meg? How do you feel about this feat?
M: I think if the word is hyphened its one word. The word I would use to described this feeling is fetch. It really encapsulates everything I feel.
B: Megan, you are so fetch. Love you. Love us.
M: You are sooooo sweet! We should probably wrap this up, even I am bored. Last thoughts on the big 5-0?
B: Yes. Stay in school.
M: Great message for the young readers. Thanks for your candor Barb. And thanks for blogging with me, there is no one else I would rather… well you are one of the people that I would choose to blog with.

Notorious

If you were in high school during the better part of the 80’s you were in love with Duran Duran. If you graduated high school in 2001 you thought Duran Duran was old people music. If you knew someone who could get $6 tickets to Duran Duran at the Concord Pavilion last Friday night, you threw caution to the wind and said “Lets do it!” So that's what we did. We put on our best 80s duds (well, some of us did), bought a few $9 beers (totally worth it) and danced the night away.

The first great "happening" of the night was on the walk up to the Concord Pavilion. A man walked past us dressed in leather shorts and a leather vest. He was wearing some sort of huge platform knee high boot. Let us reiterate that he was alone. A man walking into Duran Duran in an outfit taken from some S&M catalogue was alone. We looked at each other and knew it would be a magical night.

The stage was set. It would be the first great comeback of 2008. But there was something a little "odd" about the crowd that night. We decided that the breakdown went something like this:

40% gay

40% reliving their "glory days"
20% what the fuck??

We fit nicely into the 20% category .

We walked in while they were playing Hungry Like The Wolf which was a major bummer since it was one of only 4 Duran Duran songs any of us could name. But we were there to dance and party (and take pics) and that's what we did!

After our purchase of some $9 Bud Lights and a $5 water for Marina (thanks for driving) we hit section 207 with reckless abandon. And what do they do? They play a song off their new album. Do they even have a new album?? Hey D2, we don’t even know your old hits let alone your new one but wait, what is this… our new favorite song of 2008: Skin Diving by our new favorite Old Man Band, Duran Duran. As Simon LeBon put it "This is a song about coming up for air." You can see why they're our new favorite old band.

By the end of the show we decided that Simon has "still got it!" Although we aren't too sure exactly what "it" is or if/when he ever really had it. But trust us, he has still got it! A girl even bum rushed the stage!! True story. It was like a preview of Megan and Barb at the upcoming New Kids On The Block reunion tour. Oh yeah, believe it: someone will be arrested at that show.

We're not sure if Duran Duran will be having any sort of huge comeback in 08. But one thing is for sure: they gained 5 new fans on Friday night. Now we can all name at least 6 Duran Duran songs!! And Megan will soon be recording her acoustic version of Ordinary World (yeah we didn't know they sang that, either). Next time Duran Duran come to town we will for sure be front row center. That is, if the tickets are $6 or less.

This "review" brought to you by your favorite bloggers (not the weird guy behind them):

P.S. When you tell Erin "wear something 80s" she takes it really seriously.

Reality Bites

Warning: What you are about to read is a completely uncalled for rant by Barbara Goermar. If you have an aversion to cynicism please do not read. I suggest checking out People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People List.

To call the new season of Mtv's The Real World "reality television" would really be a misnomer. I think a more accurate description of this mess would be "crime against humanity." In international law a crime against humanity is an act of persecution or any large scale atrocities against a body of people, and is the highest level of criminal offense (Wikipedia.org). Yep, that sounds about right.

I have only been subject to about 10 minutes of this show, but that's all it took to make it painfully (and I do mean painfully) obvious that Mtv has not only jumped the shark but they have launched a full scale attack on viewers with this, their 20th season of the show.

Get to work: The "job" that Mtv has decided to give the cast this year is to become an improv troop at a local comedy club. Please tell me they're joking. Nope! Now for those of you that don't know please listen carefully: improv is hard. I know it doesn't seem like it when you watch professionals do it. But they are professionals! They practice for years honing their skills and timing. To watch amateurs perform improv, and even worse- amateurs who have no experience in comedy at all, can only be described in one word: torture. Mtv has decided (for some unknown reason) to torture viewers by subjecting them to watching these 7 people attempt to act and be funny. Why don't they save some time and just shoot us in the face? The only way this might be anything other than absolutely unbearable is if they go onstage and completely bomb, thus inciting the crowd into a frenzied riot that leaves all or most of the cast members dead or at the very least maimed.

Meet the roomies: They range in age from 20 to 25 and in mental capacity from slow to dimwitted. The cast includes 2 aspiring actors, 2 aspiring reporters, an aspiring music producer, an aspiring singer (this one was even in the top 44 on season 5 of American Idol), and 3 - count 'em 3! - models. Ugh, that was exhausting. And for those of you paying attention, you may have noticed that is a total of nine cast members. Anyone between the ages of 20 and 35 knows that the Real World is the true story of seven strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped, blah blah blah. So this means that something happens in the course of the season that causes two cast members to leave and be replaced. I wish that was as exciting as it is supposed to be.

Remember when Mtv used to pick smart people?? Remember Pam from San Francisco? She was a freakin' doctor! And she remained a doctor on the show! What a great message to viewers. Not only did they have a doctor in the cast, but it was a woman! And she was Asian! Remember Irene from L.A.? She was a cop. She was actually serving and protecting people! Not aspiring, either. She was an actual cop. Pedro Zamora, also from San Francisco, was an AIDS activist and educator. Kevin from New York was a journalist, poet, and activist. Mtv seemed to be telling young people that we can do whatever we set our minds to and that there is more to life than looking pretty and partying. But that's not what sells, I guess. So the basic message Mtv has decided to deliver nowadays is: there is nothing more to life than looking pretty and partying. That and hot-tubbing. Hot-tubbing is a really important part of being young, apparently.

Say it ain't so, America: Now as much as I would like to blame Mtv as the root of all that's evil, I just can't do it. Not this time, at least. Because one of the cast members was actually selected by the viewers!!! Greg Halstead refers to the people around him as "peasants," and to women as "associates." His internet screen name in the viewer poll was "PretyBoy," and he says that viewers picked him because he is "very attractive." And the viewers picked him?? Holy shit. I think I just lost all faith in humanity. Yep- it just happened, right that very second. I can only hope that the "viewers" that chose this waste of oxygen to be on the show consisted solely of 12 year old girls and 50 year old gay men. Yeah, that's what I'm going to tell myself. My faith in humanity is restored... for now.

So in closing all I can do is implore you to please write your congressman! Let them know what is going on here. Mtv must be stopped. And in the meantime stay as far away from this show as you possibly can. I watched it for 10 minutes and I'm pretty sure I became clinically braindead for at least the last 4.

The Beautiful People....

There are few things that make you feel as un-beautiful as when you're looking at People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People issue. Thank you People Magazine! Without you, I don't think any of us would understand what true beauty is. Luckily you are here to remind us that if we all had personal chefs, full time trainers, plastic surgeons, make up artists, and air-brushing, we could be just as beautiful as everyone on your list!

Kate Hudson: She made the cover this year. Ok, so she is blonde. So she had a kid and lost the weight. So her mom was a style icon in the 60s. So she is "hippy-ish" or something. But anyone who made the movies You, Me, and Dupree and Fool's Gold doesn't deserve to be on any list. Ever.

Amanda Beard: She is an Olympic swimmer who is quoted as saying: "I always wear makeup in the water. All the makeup I own is waterproof. Even my concealer. " Hmmm, do you think she wears makeup in the shower, too? Maybe she is hiding some hideous facial deformity. Let's hope.

The Cast of Gossip Girl: I guess being young, thin, and slightly gay-looking makes you beautiful.

Jessica Alba: Snore. Sorry, I fell asleep somewhere between Jessica and Alba.

Brad Pitt: Ok, I fell asleep at Jessica Alba, and Brad Pitt definitely isn't waking me up.... zzzzzzzz.......

Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens: Note to teenager girls: take sexy and/or nude pics of yourself and you will not only gain popularity, but you will also be considered beautiful!

Cast of The Hills: I thought you had to do something of some sort of significance to be on this list. I guess not! Now we all have a shot at making the list next year!! Woooo!

Rumer Willis: Uhhh.... really? Can we have a new rule for the 100 Most Beautiful List? No celebutaunts, please. I’m sure she is pretty on the inside, as in a good person but on “The List”… not sure about that.

Much Props: Sarah Silverman and Tina Fey. We totally agree with this. They are real women, they are funny, they f*&k Matt Damon… pretty much these two are Megan and Barbara in 10 years. Well that's the dream, anyway.

Jimi Hendrix Experience

Our sources tell us that there is a Jimi Hendrix sex tape floating around out there. Ummm... what?! Now even dead people are releasing sex tapes?! This got us thinking... what if more posthumous porn starts to pop up featuring some other famous rockers? Enjoy!


Elvis: Dear God, pleeease tell me it's the "young" Elvis....

Mama Cass: This one is kinda weird. Just her and a sandwich. Use your imagination.

Jerry Garcia: Grateful Head? This joke kinda wrote itself. No props to us.

John Lennon: Imagine all the people... in bed together. He spent all that time in bed during his Yoko days. And seeing as how she was a conceptual artist, I am sure there is some weird tape of them naked throwing eggs at each other, or something. Right? Not that we're into that sorta thing...

Janis Joplin: Finally we find out why her voice was so raspy.

Ozzy Osbourne: Oh wait he's not quite dead yet

Leopard Print

Ray: Hey brother.

Walter: What up man?

Ray: I was just thinking, we never hang out anymore.

Walter: So

Ray: Well I was thinking maybe if you were free tonight we could you know hang out, like we used to. You know bite each others faces and claw at each other? What do you think?

Walter: Ray, I umm… well, I kind of have plans tonight.

Ray: Oh, I see.

Walter: I mean it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that… well I have met someone.

Ray: You met someone? I see....

Walter: Yeah. I really want you to meet her. I think... I think she may be the one.

Ray: Really? When did you meet her?

Walter: About a month ago. I was drinking from the fake pond, and our eyes met from across the zoo.

Ray: Who is she?

Walter: She's a beautiful water buffalo

Ray: That is great Walter. Does your girlfriend know??

Walter: Ray, it’s complicated. You wouldn’t understand.

Ray: Try me.

Walter: CiCi and I have been having trouble lately. She tired to eat me and that just isn’t cool. We talked about it and everything was fine, but she is just distant.

Ray: Walter, there is something we need to talk about.

Walter: OK.

Ray: CiCi and I have been playing behind your back.

Walter: What? I don’t understand.

Ray: Walter, I can’t hid my feelings any longer. I love her. And I am pretty sure she loves me too.

Walter: WHAT?! I can't believe this!!!

Ray: What do you care, you met someone else!

Walter: Playing with CiCi was the best 6 weeks of my life! Well, it was the only 6 weeks of my life...

Ray: Well you didn't appreciate her. If you satisfied her, she wouldn't be playing with me.

Walter: How dare you?!!

Ray: How dare I? You are in love with a water buffalo!! We aren’t even the same species, you have seriously lost it man.

Walter: Oh hey look a camera…

Ray: Let me put my paw on your back.

Walter: Oh great idea!

Ray: Smile!

Walter: Cheeeese!

It's gettin' hot in herrrr....

Happy Earth Day everyone! We take this faux holiday pretty seriously, and so should you. Plus we all know going green is the hottest thing to do right now. It's hot enough to melt those pesky polar ice caps- oh wait, that's already happening. Anyway, here are 10 ways to make your friends "green" with envy (because you are so now!) and save the Earth while you're at it.

1. Save Water Drink Beer! At least that was what every third t-shirt I saw in college said. Also the ever so popular, “I only drink on days ending in ‘Y’”, witty.

2. Take a tip from those Earthy Europeans: why shower when you can splash on some perfume?

3. Turn off the surveillance camera on your neighbor when they leave for work. Chances are, not much will happen in their house from 10am to 3pm.

4. Whenever you see a Hummer parked somewhere, make sure no one is around, and slash the tires. The Earth will thank you. And so will I.

5. Who doesn't like mood lighting? Just cuz you work in an office doesn't mean you have to suffer those harsh fluorescent bulbs. Dim the lights, or better yet- light some candles. Sexy.

6. Steal a Prius. They are costly and the added emissions that are created into this world when a new car is made is not needed, why not just take someone else’s?

7. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. The water does not need to run while you sing “Up like the sun, down like the rain. End to end like a choo choo train”. Yeah my dentist taught me a cute little song to sing when I brush my teeth and I sing it everyday.

8. When you go to the bathroom remember what they told us during the drought when we were kids: "If it's brown, flush it down. If it's yellow, let it mellow." I know, kinda gross. But hey, it's for the environment, people!!!

9. Go see the next Leo DiCaprio movie. A ticket for him is a ticket for a better earth.

10. Recycle!!! If you don't have the means leave your cans outside in a bag, the homeless will pick it up. It prevents those looking for cans as a way to earn extra cash from dipping themselves in a trash can. Seriously. They will thank you.

Our bad... should we leave them a note?

Dear Friends,

We would like to apologize for our absence this past week. Megan was in Vegas (see here) and Barb was very busy with life (see here). Sometimes these things happen. But it’s not because we don’t love you. We do, we love you all very much. But you see your father and I well … oops, wrong speech.

We have been busy and are so very sorry we have no been able to help you procrastinate at work, teach your children what is right and wrong, explain foreign policy, help in the war on drugs or give you pointless tidbits of information that will never prove useful. For that we are truly sorry. This week we will try to be more engaged, hip and with it. We aren’t like regular bloggers, we are cool bloggers and we hope you will not hold last week’s absence against us.

Your friends and lovers,
Megan and Barbara (The Cool Sauce Girls)

PS. This new leaf turns over tomorrow; we got stuff to do yo…

Blogs not Bombs!!

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing! (Say it again, good God). Thankfully we live in the protest capital of the world (editor's note: that might be self described) and we know our fair share of protests chants. But the times they are a changin', my friends. And "Hell No We Wont Go" just isn't going to cut the anti-war mustard anymore. Nowadays, with America's ever decreasing attention span, protesters need to get creative in order to get people to hear their message. And some have better luck than others. Here is a list of some of our personal faves. Enjoy!


So China, did you really think you were going to get away with bringing your torch through San Francisco without a protest? HA! We live for protests! In fact, the other day I was part of an anti-protest protest. That's right. My sign said: "NO MORE STUPID SIGNS!" So anyway, when the Olympic torch made it's way through the City by the Bay, it was met with some pretty awesome/awful protests. And we don't mess around when it comes to protest signs. My favorite one (as seen by our fan, Ms. Erin Walsh) got right to the point: "China can suck my balls!" Yes, folks. That is a 100 % real San Francisco anti-torch protest sign! Gotta love this city! Here are some others:

Who Would Jesus Bomb? – I mean really, who would he bomb?

Buck Fush! – Creative, almost as creative as the sign for French Connection.

The last time we listened to a Bush, we wandered in the desert for 40 years. - This one is a little wordy, and I think it can only apply to Jewish anti-war protesters, right? But it's still clever.

The only Bush I trust is my own! - Seriously, you wanna brag about your bush? How about "Let's wax out Bush!" or something...

Make (enter anything) not WAR! - It’s traditional, it’s simple, it gets the point across ,it knows how to make you feel warm at night. Let's try some: Make chocolate not WAR! Make out not WAR! Make Oscar picks not WAR!

(On a five year old) More Candy, Less War - Now that's just plain adorable. Who could continue a war after seeing that??

Anything war can do, peace can do better. - Do I smell a sing-a-long coming up? I think so!

My (our) favorite (most entertaining) things (websites)

I'm sure raindrops on roses are great. But there are better things in life then whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens (although I happen to love brown paper packages tied up with string). Anyhoo, on any given day at "work" you can be sure I am hitting up my usual favorite sites to pass the time. Drum roll please... here is a list of our favorite websites!

Bored? Head on over to http://www.bestweekever.tv/! I'm pretty sure my friends are sick and tired of me (Megan) saying, "Hey have you read bestweekever.tv today??" That being said, have you? It's a great site where I have been known to LOL while reading about nonsense.

Need shoes? Well then you need http://www.zappos.com/. First off you should all be sold by the fact that they offer FREE SHIPPING! Even on returns. Hello! Fabulous! Also the last known actual brick and mortar store was in Chico, CA and our friends stopped in a lot to check out the merch, and also our pal Cassie worked there so we would go in and bug her too.

Speaking of Chico... if you have ever lived there you will know the greatness of LuLu's. Chico college kids go there weekly to buy a new top/purse/pair of shoes/necklace at the super cheap prices that would allow one to never wear it again and not feel guilty. And now they have a website http://www.lulus.com/ it's bitchen.

Have you met Beth? Her blog is one of my (hey, megan again) many addictions, I think I need to enter a 12-Step program because it's bad. I could really use more people in my support group so if you can get addicted too that would be great http://www.bethspotswood.blogspot.com/.

Are you white? Do you like stuff? Then this site is for you. Stuff White People Like (http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/) : "This blog is devoted to stuff white people like." Self explanatory, right? This is an ongoing list that includes things like #90: Dinner Parties, #88: Having Gay Friends, #75: Threatening to move to Canada, and #69 Mos Def. The blog also includes small articles such as White Problems: Should Children Drink Wine? and Top 10 Hip Hop Songs White People Love. You'll totally find yourself lol-ing and probably saying "Oh my god, it's true." So whether you are laughing at us or with us it's really fun to read. You can definitely add this website to the list of stuff white people like.

An email correspondence between Barb and Megan...

10:59 am

Hi Barbara,
This is your friend Megan; you may remember me from various events that took place this weekend. I was wondering if you could send me the pictures you took from both Friday and Saturday nights so that I may think back on those times and reflect fondly on days of ‘ol.

Thank you for your kindness and consideration.

Best regards,
Megan

11:05 am

Hello Ms. Romero,
Although I don't recall making your acquaintance, I am sure that you were quite charming. I would be delighted to send you the pictures from this weekend's festivities. Please note, however, that I am sans a computer of my own. Therefore I have to do things such as email pictures from various other people's PCs. I will be sure to send you the pictures as soon as my schedule permits me the time to barrow someone's computer. Until then, please don't hate me.

Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,
Barbara Goermar

11:14 am

Unfortunately Ms. Goermar I do hate you. As you may be aware I am a very important person who doesn’t like to be treated as a ‘normal’ or ‘regular’ person because I am simply not that way. I am un normal and very un regular for you to be treating me with such regard that you would treat someone like say Erin who is normal and regular.

However since you do not recall meeting me this weekend due to your penchant for alcohol and drinks with ‘crackerjack’ in them I will let this slide. Please note that should this situation arise again you will not be so lucky.

Please forward the pictures on at your earliest convenience. Your consideration of this task is greatly appreciated and I can only hold you in the highest regard for having a digital camera with working batteries as I am lazy and cheap to replenish mine. I hope this email finds you well and with that I say adios.

Peace, love and Mickey Mouse,
Megan

11:23 am

Ms. Romero, it is becoming apparent that normal means of communication are not going to be entirely effective with you. Let me make myself perfectly clear: I will send you the pictures when I am damn good and ready. And please be sure that I am not at all interested in the fact that you are irregular- or anything else having to do with your bowel activities.

Furthermore, I would like to clarify that the drink I had this weekend contained Apple Jack, not "crackerjack" as you previously stated, which I can only assume is some sort of racial slur toward me.

Please reply to this email so that I know we have reached an understanding.

Sincerely,
Barbara Goermar

Listen b*&^%. This all mighty, ‘I’m Barb I’m better than you because I have a digital camera’ act is tired. It’s old. We all think so.

I don’t appreciate being emailed with that tone young lady. ‘Cause while you're off at the office all day doing interesting office things, I'm stuck here. Cooking and cleaning and mowing, helping Melissa with her fastball, being a role model for Zach, spending quality time with Walter, doing your party shit! You've got the car and you don't even take me anywhere anymore. And when was the last time we went out to dinner together, huh? You know, I'm sick and tired of not being appreciated.

You could have called first so I could have timed my roast a little better.

What happens in Vegas...

Get's blogged about Monday morning!

Vegas. Geez where do I begin! I arrive in Vegas at 1:30pm and even before I get off the plane I am down $300. Don't ask, it's Vegas that is just what happens. I get my bags and stand in the mile long taxi line. Apparently everyone in Vegas is at this trade show and everyone but me looks as if they came from the office, checking emails on their phones while I look like a college kid heading to the strip for spring break. Once I get to my hotel I call Barry Manilow. He is playing at the Hilton so we get some drinks and talk about the good old days of Vegas when the 'Rat Pack' ruled and Elvis was God. It really brought me back. Next up I needed to work so I found my booth after wandering in and out of convention halls. I looked at it, looked at my neighbors for the week and headed to the bar. All that walking made me thirsty.

The week consisted of room service bkfst, watching TV on a demo cell phone (Price is Right EVERYDAY!) and going out for dinner. I maybe lost $50 on the slots, I love me some 'Wheel of Fortune' but it apparently doesn't love me back. My liver is on detox this week because guess what folks!? I will be heading back to Vegas on Sunday for another week of trade show excitement, this time I am going alone... can you say 'boring' and 'drinking alone'.

Are you Hitler?

Heyo! So Megan is away from me at the moment:( And I can no longer chat or go on Facebook on my work computer. I know, wtf??! So I've been having to find ways to entertain myself while at work. You know, besides actually working. And I remembered this website that I discovered years ago and I decided to see if it's still around. It is! It's called Guess the Dictator/Sitcom Character. And it's scary accurate. First you think of a tv character or a ruthless dictator (note: it doesn't have to be a "sitcom" character. It can be a drama, reality, or talk show). Then you start the game. The game asks you a series of Yes or No questions. And it figures out who you are thinking of! Scary, huh? It's in your head! The character doesn't even have to be human. After asking me questions like: "Do you have red hair?" and "Do you have 3 sons?" It guessed that I was Comet from Full House. How does it know???!!?? It's creepy. You'll be really surprised how much this thing knows. Go ahead, try to stump it. It even got that I was the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld! From Mussolini to Monk, Hitler to House, this game almost never gets it wrong. So yeah, if you have a few spare minutes check it out. It's a great way to kill time when you should be doing work.

In our own someone else's words

It seems like nowadays everyone is expressing themselves using http://www.someecards.com/ Hey- it's a lot easier than actually thinking of your own words to say to people. Right? So today Megan and I thought we would post a few that best express our thoughts/feelings/ambitions. Feel free to steal these and call them your own. I mean, we did anyway.
Oh P.S. Meg is in Vegas right now, so send her lucky thoughts!!!
