Okay, It’s Over, Time to Vote.

There is a big prize involved.

A wonderful Marilyn Monroe shirt from the wonderful people at TeesForAll.com. TeesforAll.com is not doing this because they like me, they want to sell you some Tee shirts.  They have a really cool Stones shirt, and some other Boomer targeted stuff:

Vote for the most weird, arcane, tricky, smart, obscure, clever word combinations. As always cheating and multiple voting is encouraged.

I will need to know your size and mailing address to send you the shirt, but promise not to snicker or stalk. There are probably some other rules, but screw it.

If You Paid More Than $5 for That Large Pizza You Overpaid.


This is good news.

$5 has now become the defacto base price for a large, pepperoni pizza. I thought this may have been just a local phenom, but it was confirmed today that pizza in Idaho is $5 for a large.

A teacher is advertising pizza on test papers. The featured pizza is $5.

A while back Smallburg Godfather’s Pizza had what I thought was a one day only deal of $5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. I made it by 4:45. Then a big ad appeared in the newspaper that featured large pizzas from Little Caesar’s for $5 anytime, along with some other coupons for lunch specials of $5.

It’s about time. We had stopped ordering Pizza when the price hit $20 for a large, thin, pepperoni and mushroom, pizza. $5 is good.

But I just want one pizza.

Pizza Hut and Papa John’s, two major players haven’t met the new low price. They still want me to eat three large pizzas for $15 or some other ridiculous combination of pizza, bread sticks, wings, fried cheese and coke.

Hope Pizza Hut and Papa John’s get on the stick.

I still have one more notch to go on my belt.

Get Weird and Win!

The Junk Drawer Blog is goofing off somewhere this week, but she left an assignment for her commenters. She stole a comment game from Comedy Plus.

The Junk Drawer Blog is fun, but whoooo boy, her commenters are just so vanilla, so white bread, so unimaginative.

Here’s how SHE explained the Comment Game.

It’s very simple. I start the game off by listing two words or phrases, like waffles or pancakes, and you pick the one you like better. You can explain why if you like.

She started with Twitter or Facebook. Nice start, but OMG, her commenters responded with choices like:

  • Mac or PC
  • Coffee or Tea
  • Boxers or Briefs
  • Peanut Butter or Jelly

I. am. NOT. kidding. And it goes on for over 100 comments.

I played too, here were my choice:

  • Po or Laa Laa – which the next person said they didn’t have a clue about. Dur, Hello Google? So I came back with…
  • Clarabelle or Crusty – which the next poster didn’t know, but chose Clarabelle because it was a nice name! OMG, puh-leeze! My final entry, before I decided to hijack this idea was…
  • Simon Cowell or Simon & Shuster. The next commenter chose Simon Cowell because she hadn’t heard of “the other one.”

LISTEN UP. Here’s the deal. I am taking over this idea.

There is a big prize involved.

A wonderful Marilyn Monroe shirt from the wonderful people at TeesForAll.com. I wanted a gift certificate from TeaseForMe.com, but haven’t heard back. TeesforAll.com is not doing this because they like me, they want to sell you some Tee shirts. Surprise. Surprise. Surprise. They have a really cool Stones shirt, and some other Boomer targeted stuff.

WIN THIS SHIRT

WIN THIS SHIRT

No, it doesn’t have to be the Marilyn Monroe baby-doll with pink stripes, unless you want it. And then I want a picture of you in it.

HERE’S HOW WE’RE GONNA PLAY:

It’s kind of like the The Junk Drawer Blog contest, BUT, the combinations need to be weird, arcane, tricky, smart, obscure, clever, whatever. (Like my examples! :-) )

AND: you must explain why you chose the word you did, to avoid miscellaneous fakery.

After a while, I’ll close the comments and then we will vote on the best combination.  Finalists may be contacted to provide a full and complete explanation of their word combinations so you can’t fake it easily.

Got it? Good.

Here is my combination, you take it from here:

Sky King or Enola Gay?

Neil Sedaka Sings: Twitter Isn’t Hard To Do

Jon Stewart told Meridith Viera that he was a Twat because he used Twitter.

Ashton Kutcher sent a picture of “wifey’s” (Demi Moore) butt in granny panties to his followers.

Jennifer Aniston dumped John Mayer because he spent too much time on Twitter.

Since I thought I was watching the life of Neil Sedaka when I saw The Jersey Boys, I thought adapting Jennifer Aniston’s woes to Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, by Neil Sedaka was appropriate. Here’s the video, feel free to sing along. Use my lyrics and get your YouTube.com 15 minutes of fame.

Twitter Isn’t Hard To Do

Don’t Twitter our love… away you twat
Don’t lie about it you will be caught
If you Tweet I won’t eff you
Twitter isn’t hard to do

Remember when…. you Tweeted my ass
no forget it – other classless lass
“no time to text” said you,
Twitter isn’t hard to do.

They said you were busy and hard at work
Now I know, I know you’re a jerk
I call you out you loser twirp
Instead of Tweeting up I wish that you made noisy sloppy slurps.

I beg of you, drop the Twitter
Let’s screw until we have a litter
Come on baby, let’s start a new
Twitter isn’t hard to do.

Natasha Richardson Passes Away; Kanye West Facing Charges

While we are all wondering how Natasha Richardson could fall down on a ski slope, crack her noodle, then die, Lemondrop’s The Daily Rind, a blog from AOL, remember America Online? has decided that Kanye West had something to do with Natasha Richardson’s death.

At least if you believe what you read on the internet.
