This is the best showing of “Straight Ally” I think I’ve ever seen
Everyone knows that Westboro Baptist “Church” is a joke, and that they actually help gay rights more than hurt (they look so ridiculous, you can’t help but side with the gays). However, this counter-protest from earlier this week is the best I’ve ever seen. And the greatest part is that this showing of solidarity is from a bunch of straight frat guys. Social progress, indeed!

What Are the Lady-Golfers Supposed To Do?

Also, I have two blogs just waiting to be written, about my trip to Florida, and Robert’s birthday. They’ll happen. Someday.

These are pretty hilarious. Thanks, Robert!

Bobby Jindal = Kenneth the Page
Okay, I’m a busy girl at work today and so I haven’t yet blogged about Obama’s speech to the joint session of Congress last night. I honestly don’t know that I will…so quickly, I will say that I thought it was fantastic (big surprise there), and was impressed at the number of Democrats and Republicans that applauded during the speech (these things are usually more party-centric, or so I’m told; I haven’t been able to sit through one since around 2001. Not because I refuse to listen to Repubicans – but I couldn’t STAND to watch G.W. talk. That smirky, shit-eating grin! But I digress…)
Last night, the GOP response was given by Bobby Jindal. Now, I don’t know much about Bobby Jindal, other than he is the governor of Louisiana and has had his name thrown around as a possible candidate in 2012. But last night? Definitely not the best response ever. Perhaps it wasn’t a true reflection of himself or his typical style… but yeah, not great. But what I didn’t even pick up on, until it was pointed out today at HuffPo, is how much he sounds like Kenneth the Page (from the show 30 Rock). Check it out for yourself!
OMG! Is my man gay??
Okay, so you know how Google automatically populates ads on websites? Ads it thinks will be applicable to you, given what page you’re on? Well, earlier I was reading an article on the International Herald Tribune’s site (that’s the global NYT). The article was about how more people go to evangelical churches when the economy is bad. Anyway, to the right, I see this Google-sponsored ad:
Is Your Husband Gay? Test Your Husband with this quiz & see if he is gay or not
With a link to this quiz included.
Okay, so the fact that this ad was linked to this article in particular was pretty funny – but the fact that the quiz even exists to begin with is fairly hysterical. I immediately shared it with Lyndsie, one of my favorite straight marrieds, and she took it for her husband. She doesn’t know if he’s gay or not (you have to share your email address to get the results, and she said no way. Smart lady.). But the questions and answers…my god, they’re hilarious. Like this one:
Which of the following compliments is your man most likely to give you?
_You smell good
_You look beautiful
_I’m lucky if he notices me
_Those shoes really set your whole outfit off
_Nice shirt
_Is that shirt from Prada’s spring line?
_I would look so great in your blouse
So cliche! So faaaaabulous! Really, you should go through the test just to see the questions and answers they give. It’s a riot.
And in my opinion: if you have to take an online test to find out if your spouse is a closet homo, there is something already really wrong with your marriage. Just saying.
Snuggie Parody
I wasn’t going to post this on my blog (I’ve seen it several other places, and I put it on my facebook)…but then I found out my sister’s friend made it (!), so I figured it should get as much web mileage as possible. I’ll gladly support his 15 minutes of fame! Plus, it’s pretty funny. So, without further adieu…
It’s My 100th Blog Post!
That’s right – in the 4-months-ish since I’ve started this blog, I’ve posted 100 times. We’ll decide later how lame that makes me.
In the meantime! I’m posting this cute/hilarious video. Robert sent it to me, so he’s getting credit – though since then I’ve seen it all over the Internets. Regardless…
[edit: just so nobody thinks this guy is drugging up his kid for laughs, the kid is getting over having a tooth removed, and is still high from the laughing gas]
Only 7 days of Bush to go…
I guess the downside is, we’ll have fewer humorous moments with Obama?
NPH on SNL
Neil Patrick Harris hosted Saturday Night Live this week. Neil Patrick Harris is everyone’s favorite comeback kid…I love that not only do people not automatically associate him with Doogie Howser, M.D. anymore (which I used to love, by the way, and which you can watch online anytime at hulu.com), but that he has also embraced the fact that he was a well-known child actor. Kudos, Mr. Harris. Plus, the guy has pretty great comedic timing. And he does magic! In fact, here’s a clip of him on Ellen, doing a trick. I’m posting it because, well, I still can’t figure out how the hell he pulls it off.
But anyway, he hosted SNL, and I watched several clips from it online. He was good in most, but the sketches themselves mostly fell flat (we all know how hit-or-miss SNL can be). But then, there was the Broadway sketch. It actually made me “LOL” a few times – and Neil Patrick Harris as Mark from Rent is too good to be missed. I was going to embed the video on my site, but it automatically started playing as soon as you opened the page, and that’s just annoying. So instead, here is the link to the video on NBC’s site. Enjoy!
