Under pressure

I’m not so much a Christmas hater as I am a hater of Christmas lights. And it’s not so much that I hate Christmas lights as I hate people who go completely apeshit overboard on Christmas lights. It’s Christmas, not fucking Vegas.

Example (sorry for the shitty pic quality):

I guess that’s not too bad either. I don’t mind holiday light displays too much if the owners take them down (or at least turn them off) before Valentine’s Day.

This is what really got me with these people:

The blob in the the middle of the picture is faux cake that says “Happy Birthday Jesus!” on it. Great. So now this is Christmas AND a fucking birthday party too? I hate birthday parties more than I hate Christmas. It’s hard enough to find and buy a present for my asshole relatives, now I have to worry about What Would Jesus (really) Want for his birthday? Think of the pressure. You need to get something that the Son of God already doesn’t have (a Kohls gift card only works if Christ needs new sheets or some scented candles). And birthday cards are a bitch too. One of those black themed “Over the Hill” cards probably would be in bad taste. I could keep it classy with something like “two millenniums is the new one millennium, my Lord”. or a Maxine card. Everyone loves those, right?

Sick white men need to suffer for their sins

This is scary:

Students at an Ottawa university are pulling out of a Canada-wide fundraiser that provides close to $1 million a year for cystic fibrosis research and treatment, arguing that the disease “has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men” — something experts say is untrue.

Yeah, thanks for that

I’m thankful for Sweden (and knee high boots)

I’m thankful for old ladies (and beards)

I’m thankful for accessories (and mondegreens and Janet thanks you for the sample )

(and I’m thankful for parentheses)

Faded feathers in her hair (or Tragedy at the disco)

I’m liking a couple of the background dancers (2:30+).

(h/t Dave and his issues)

Tripartisanship

Change I can believe in (and three nice things)

The money keeps coming in. This time from the snail mail. Loving my readers.

So I owe col three nice things. She knows I love her. Instead of words I’m giving her pictures…

(and I spent the money wisely, col)

Eat it

Fact: In order to cook and eat a turkey, you have to kill it first. Shocking, I know. So what’s the problem with Sarah Palin standing in front of someone butchering turkeys. Here’s the vid:

Yeah, it is not the best backdrop for an interview but it reinforces the point that people are too far removed from their food. That’s why I love MSNBC’s “Breaking News” running commentary at the bottom of the screen.

GOV. SARAH PALIN PARDONS TURKEY IN WASILLA

MSNBC is all about the facts, bitches!

TURKEYS DIE AS GOVERNOR PALIN TAKES QUESTIONS FROM MEDIA

Let’s hope one of them was Keith Olbermann

GOV. SARAH PALIN KEEPS TALKING WHILE TURKEYS GET SLAUGHTERED BEHIND HER

What? You want her to have a moment of silence?

TURKEY KILLING FOWLS PALIN NEWS CONFERENCE

Ugh. News puns suck.

GOV. PALIN APPARENTLY OBLIVIOUS TO TURKEY CARNAGE OVER HER SHOULDER

Like Jamie said.

GOV. PALIN NOT REALIZING THE INCONGRUITY OF HER WORDS VERSUS HER BACKDROP

This I don’t get. Where’s the incongruity? She wants to eat a turkey.

Does my keffiyehmy make me look fat?

This gets the award for the weirdest referrer ever to my blog. It seems I’ve been translated into (wait for it…) Arabic:

And what was the title of that post, you ask? Let me translate it back into English for you: Crazy gay bear cat lady lover . Should I take this as a compliment?

But teh internets can’t be wrong

My psychological profile as judged by my blog:

ESTP – The Doers
The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Great. Now time for my nap.

Tuesday’s hottie

Jason Statham. I’ve never seen any of his movies but I love my hot British manflesh (don’t be jealous, Daniel).
