it was a scratch, not a pick

Here's a wee gem that found its way into my inbox today...

You just came to Texas Tech University as a freshman. You are SO PROUD that you have been chosen to pump up the crowd as the school's Bell Ringer during the big game...

Your whole family, all of your friends, and 15 million ESPN viewers see you on Saturday's telecast ringing the team's bell. But due to the tragically unfortunate placement of the bell, the camera and your body, your whole family, all of your friends, and 15 million ESPN viewers, see this instead...

Is it just me or does that kid have a Weird Al Yankovic quality about him?

change of plans

You know, I've been pretty adamant about stating that I don't want to have children of my own. However, after seeing this clip, I think I may have changed my mind. What better benefit to having kids than being able to fuck with them?

merry christmas!

Before I head off to the swamps of Jersey for some holiday cheer, here's a wee throwback from the early 80s I found on YouTube (mmm... YouTube): Billy Squier and the MTV staff singing "Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You."

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It's one of my favorite holiday tunes, in fact. Pay particular attention to the hair in this video. Mark Goodman and Billy Squier are both sporting coifs that would mirror mine if I didn't have a fabulous stylist (thank you, Randy!) and a shitload of Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious (thank you, The Hot Russian!) and Short Cuts Flip-Out (thanks, Canadians!) to keep my ringlets in line.

Oh and get a load of Martha Quinn's bangs. She looks like my younger sister did when she got a hold of a pair of scissors and cut her own hair. Tres horrific.

Speaking of all things that are horrendous, Nina Blackwood's hairdo really pissed off my mother, as I recall. I believe she said that it looked like "rats chewed at it." Upon further review, I think my mother is right. See for yourself...

Have a merry one!

Love,
Curly

swap out

I reconsidered and removed the video of The Adorable 6-Year-Old Niece that previously occupied this space. Three words: Strawberry Shortcake Undies. Didn't want that visual to be used for, uh, inspiration for any people who may be a wee bit touched in the head.

Speaking of people who are a wee bit touched in the head, I, in my undying aim to please and disturb you all, have decided to share a different video entirely. This is not from my personal collection nor am I responsible for shooting it. Had I seen this display in action, I would not have picked up my camera but rather, a kitchen knife in which to gouge out my eyes and then I would have hurled my hemorrhaging body into the nearest vat of acid.

In other words, proceed with caution... particularly if, like me, you have an aversion to cats to begin with. Hell, I haven't been right since watching it. Although, one could argue that I haven't been right, you know, like ever. Um, enjoy!
