Ten Things Today…

1.  Heather Tompkins created an anatomically correct cast.  It’s RAD!

2.  You can (and you should) get awesome blow-up Star Wars pool toys.

3.   “This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation. And we’re going to ruin people’s lives over it, and we’re going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I’m talking about people having a good time, these people—you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of need to blow some team off?” - Rush Limbaugh, on the Abu Ghraib torture scandal

4.  PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Getting on a social networking site and immediately trying to get as many friends/followers/pals/buddies/contacts/minions as possible makes you look like an amateur and it discredits your claim that you are a “social media expert.”  Also, approaching total strangers and telling them that you want to share your method for incorrectly using social media is a great way to look like an asshole.

5.  Three words:  Hello Kitty Beer

6.  Levi Johnson + Larry King Live = WTF?!

2.  Are you on Twitter?  Then you absolutely should be following The Mime.

3.  In another brilliant show of social excellence, South Africa (where same-sex marriage is actually legal) has been experiencing a rise in 'corrective rape of lesbians', meaning of course, that if a lesbian is raped (especially by multiple parties) she will realize how much better off she would be with a man and instantly be "cured" of her condition.  I only wish I was kidding.

10. TQS Poll:

Ten Things – 2/24/09

1.  Here is a delightfully snarky article about the 20 different styles of photos used by dudes on Facebook.  Although, to be fair, as a chick I’m guilty of a couple of these, too.

2.  This is an enormous collection of user-submitted photos that have been taken of their cats, after having just been rudely awakened:  Wake Up Your Cat.

3.  A couple from New York moved to Delhi, India and write a blog about it called Our Delhi Struggle.  They decided to have a Bollywood Poster Artist design their Christmas Cards this year.  How do you say, “AWESOME!” in Hindi?

7.  Here are some STUNNING PHOTOS of Carnivale!

10.  Today’s TQS Poll:

Ten Things – 2/17/09

1.  A Salt Lake City woman was able to detain a potential car thief by giving him a wedgie

2.  That story reminds me of a poem my brother wrote in high school:

Melvin

I have a friend.
His name is Melvin.
He gives me wedgies
All through the night.
And when you're not looking
He reaches around
And grabs your undies
And yanks them up your butt.

3.  In an effort to clear up the perception that they are a sexist society that uses women and oppresses their rights without giving them the respect they deserve, Afghanistan is about to launch a Model Contest television show.  Because really, objectifying women and valuing them for their beauty is so much better than hiding them in tents.

4.  Getting married?  Consider this exquisite gown that one of my Facebook friends is selling on ebay:

008

5.  Here is the Rosy-Lipped Bat Fish.

6.  Did you ever wonder what the President does?  Well wonder no more!  My six-year-old son has been kind enough to depict the POTUS's most important duties in full color illustration:

IMG00063

I assumed that the President was golfing in the first picture, but I
was informed that he is actually standing at a podium "choosing". 
Choosing what?  By the smile on his face, I am guessing he's finally
chosen a staff member without a record of tax evasion.

In the
second picture, the President is "telling".  That is an important job,
after all.  Someone has to tell everyone else what is going on and what to do and how to behave.  The guy who
is being told doesn't look very happy, though.  Must be a Republican.

And
in the third picture, the President is in charge of the "Urmee" (a/k/a
Army).  Please note the fancy yellow star.

7.  If you want to have a really rockin' party, invite this guy.

8.  Did you know that Kiefer Sutherland has a twin sister?  I am not even kidding.

9.  Today's music video:


10.  Today's TQS Poll:

Ten Things – 2/13/09

1.  This is why you're fat.

2.  President Obama has a potty mouth.  Ok, well…maybe not exactly a potty mouth.  But these recorded clips from the audio book Dreams From My Father record him quoting one of his more eloquent buddies from his college days.  I am still trying to figure out how to turn "You ain't my bitch, nigga–Buy your own damn fries!" into a ring tone.

3.  Awesome picture of tortoises in the mud.

4.  The fabulous Michelle Obama will be on the cover of Vogue in March:

5.  Awwww. Babies are so cuuuuute…

Ten Things – 2/9/09

1.  Some 16-year-old kid in Toronto got stabbed in the leg but went to a job interview anyway.  Now THAT is what I call motivation!

2.  This article lists the ten most successful potheads on the planet.  Among them?  The President of the United Fucking STATES.  So THERE.

3.  A friend of mine sent me this link for Volcano Island Honey Truffles.  What?  You've never heard of Volcano Island Honey Truffles?  Please allow me to enlighten you:

An organic and very rare white honey on one side next to a dark
chocolate ganache forms one of the most coveted truffles of the year.
Each truffle is one-half organic white honey, one-half dark chocolate
ganache.

Ho.  Lee. Shit. that sounds so good my toes tingle reading it. 

4.  This brilliant person is an artist who creates popular figures out of My Little Pony dolls.  For example:

5.  The New York Times has an article about how much money it costs to live in NYC and how $500,000 is simply not enough because most families have important expenses like two vacations a year that end up costing around $16,000, and $35,000 a year for private school.  I feel really, really bad for those sad, sorry fuckers.  Don't you?

6.  Ann Coulter is under investigation for voter fraud.  Again.

7.  Three words:  Chocolate Covered Bacon.

8.  Someone loves their BlackBerry even more than I do!  Check out this BlackBerry ice sculpture.
