So That Happened

I've Got Your Election Day Distractions Right Here

Want to read something that isn't election-related?  Enjoy laughing at sheer displays of tackiness and klass as much as I do?  Then by all means go here and prepare to be DAZZLED:

The Young Bride Wore White!

OMG!  She totes copied *my* wedding idea!  I'm SO JELLIS#*@&#$!  

Just for perspective, the couple in the first picture with the bride and groom?  Are her PARENTS.  I KNOW.

And if you want to read the full article on the newlyweds, click here. It is M-A-G-I-C.

Tired of all the election and politics talk?  So am I, which is why I was so delighted in discovering this page:

Peanuts Rocks the Vote

While I adore Linus, I wish Schroeder was on the candidates' list.  He's so introspective and brooding, which is how I like my musicians.  And what, no Franklin?

And Now For Something Lighter...

...who doesn't appreciate a good Rickroll poster?

And I may secretly love this one a wee bit more than the others - shh, don't tell!

You're welcome.

Mii, Myself and I

I got to make a Mii last week!  Thanks, Heather!

Here's my Mii hanging out in the plaza.  Check out Michael Jackson in the lower left corner, and...is that James Lipton on my right?  

Manga Mia, Here I Go Again

 

Look - it's me in manga form!   You too can make one of yourself for free at Face Your Manga!

Cannot. Stop. Laughing.

No, really - I haven't stopped laughing ever since I saw this.

Google Search Party Post #1

I thought it was high time for me to share some of the most amusing search terms recently used on Google that led unknowing people to this here blog.  What?  Everyone writes this post at least once, right?

• "bill medley throat surgery" - Because, as my trivia mates can confirm, I know a lot about the Righteous Brothers.  Apparently.
• "new car smell gives me a headache why" - To the person who was looking for this answer, I feel your pain.

And my new favorite of the bunch:

• "melissa joan hart glass eye" - I couldn't make that funnier if I tried.
