Actually, my 11 year-old did this, though he denied it. I was laughing so hard when I noticed this I couldn’t properly reprimand him. Who knows how long the word has been up on the refrigerator.
SO, this is how you curse *properly* with Word Whammer…

Click on the file if you don’t see what’s so funny. I laughed so hard my lunch came out.
TMI? Well, click on the file and see what I say to that…
Hey, honey, I shrunk your ass!
Here it looks like a snake. Awesome!
Is it just me. or does not the entire jewelry line based on Jane Seymour’s Open Heart design remind anybody else of a buttock?
The first time we saw the commercial on TV, either from Jared or Kay Jewelers, purveyors of cheesy jewelries, my boys cried out, at the same time, “It looks like a butt!” And I had to agree with them.
So nobody at those jewelry stores, when they were just looking at the designs, BEFORE they turned the design into actual goods, saw that and said, “Maybe we should look into something else…” ?
So, maybe it is really just me then.
A friend of mine recently paid more than a month of her salary for a plumber’s visit. I commented on her Facebook page, jokingly: Is it Joe the Plumber?
This reminds me that, well, Joe is probably not doing house calls any more, since he is supposed to be living off the sales of his book, right? I completely forgot about it and decided to Google “Joe Plumber Book”. I could not find a single result with an announcement with the book being published, rather I got tons of blog entries about the announcement of the book “deal” last November. Fear not. Amazon.com came to the rescue after I wised up and added “Amazon” to my search keywords. For sure, it showed up on the top of the results:
JOE THE PLUMBER: FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM
Is anybody surprised by “American Dream” being in the book title?
And the publishing date is listed as February 6, 2009, but the book is listed as Out of Stock already. Lots of people apparently want to know what Joe has learned from his 15-minute of fame. (Or, has he?)
Granted, I have not read the book. Free, maybe. Definitely do not plan to shell out any dough for this book. Sorry, Joe. Please don’t take it personal. It’s just that all my hard-earned money apparently is going to pay for the bonuses for the Wallstreet Hotshots!
Judging from the reviews though, it is a pretty one-sided book. As a matter of fact, folks expect it to be one-sided, so that Liberals/Democrats will rate the book 1 or less star, and Conservatives/Republicans will give the man some credits for “telling it like it is,” no matter whether the reviewer has actually read the book or not. My prediction? Reviews and ensuing verbal fights on Amazon.com will be more entertaining than the book itself. (Don’t forget to read the comments on the reviews too! Got to love the Internet!)
Sarah Hepola, thank you! Her humourous, yet sobering, look into the world of Obama-fever merchandising begins thus,
“The other day, curious how far the Obama madness had spread, I Googled the words ‘Obama sex toy.’ God bless America: I was not disappointed…”
Go straight to the slide show of some of the choice merchandise being sold if you want some visual evidence on why so glum, or if you just want some good old laugh over “Oh, only in America!” while shaking your head…
As for me, I cannot decide whether to laugh or cry.
It is 6:05 AM. When does the broadcast of the Inauguration start?
Am I out of the loop? Hulu truly is a much better way to watch TV and movie clips. The quality is a lot higher, never grainy. And you never have to worry about clicking on something that turns out to be not what you expected…
Thanks to Hulu, I can follow SNL again, and just in time for a better, much improved SNL as well. I don’t remember when it started, but for a while SNL sucked big time: it was turning into Mad TV. But now, it is actually funny again. To be absolutely honest, and I cannot believe I am admitting this! I never quite got the humor of Will Farrell. I mean, Will Farrell on SNL. I loved him in quite a few movies, Old School being one of them. (A classic in my book!) And the Anchor Man is not bad at all. (Another classic in my book!) But Will Farrell on SNL I didn’t quite get. I did laugh like hell, but I didn’t know why. More Cowbell being a case in point… (Is this blasphemy?) I felt guilty laughing so hard, worried that any second someone would ask me point blank, “Ok, it is funny, but why?” Worse yet, what if the question were, “It’s not funny. Explain to me.”
The boys and I did some Youtubing on Hulu tonight. We laughed out loud at the SNL Digital Short, “People Getting Punched Right Before Eating”. I laughed till tears came out of my eyes, but somehow I didn’t feel guilty. It was funny because it was random. As my 11 year-old said, “It is so totally random. It is awesome!” I guess that is this generation’s standard for humor now…
Another great piece is the SNL commercial for Taco Town. It is funny because it has a grain of truth to it, and it sort of makes you look at reality, and go, “Yeah, that’s kind of ridiculous what Taco Bells passes for food…” Watch this, it is funny!
p.s. The boys and I thought the 2 SNL clips were so funny that later when we chatted with Dad who’s away on business via Gmail Video Chat, we showed him the clips by pointing the webcam at the monitor (because Hulu does not work in China…)
By the way, Video Chat right from inside Gmail is truly awesome, and super easy to set up. Thumbs up!
Wally creeps me out, but he does sprout some truth sometimes.
I need one of those coaches…
