Are we going to watch Fatso over break?

Of course we are.

This trailer gives a lot away. I almost feel like we don't even need to watch this movie anymore. That Dom DeLuise silhouette at the end is pretty hot, though.

Dermot McDermott

Alex and I laughed so hard at this when we first read it. This is my way of saying that soon Alex will be home and we'll all be able to laugh at more dumb jokes in person! Unfortunately the blog will be pretty slow for a month or so.

Can't Stop

I can't get enough of this song.

Totally NSFW

Check this website out if you want some laughs. It's a photography website, but they posted samples of their work. The category that I linked to is "couples (nude)", which is hilarious! A lot of these pictures are like, "Do they know they're not wearing clothes?" and other pictures are like, "Is it comfortable to lay like that?" and then there's one picture that's like, "That guy has a huge penis." Now you're interested, right? Anyway, who would want these? They're so terrible! It's like the kept all the awkwardness of normal photos but also took all the clothes of normal photos.

I'm so excited!

This Saturday I'm going to go see these guys. Get pumped up.

"I showed it to my dad and he thought it was a very funny goof and a spoof."

"I'm gonna be lookin' at ya nude."

and also "P'Kard"

Everyone should come with me! It's gonna be a blast!

You Watched This, Right?

Then watch it again! I'm talking about the latest episode of Bestie x Bestie, duh. I laughed out loud multiple times. I actually really, really hate the use of the word retarded as a pejorative, not because I'm particularly PC but because it's incredibly hurtful. That being said, lots of comedians I like and many of my best friends use the word all the time, so whatever. This is really funny, so what are you going to do?

Another Song I Love

I've written before about my love of John Legend, but I've never mentioned my love of the song "Everybody Knows." I really love this song, but I only remembered it because it shares a title with a Ryan Adams song. I am only a little ashamed to mention that for awhile, I used to listen to this song multiple times a day. Alex can keep posting about all those cool indie bands he listens to, and I'll just let you know about all the pop songs I listen to.

Little known fact: Winfreys love Drake. Winfreys don't really have an opinion on Rhianna (at least, this Winfrey doesn't), but ever since I heard the song "What's My Name" on SNL, I haven't been able to get it out of my head. For some reason, it's like impossible to find a decent version of that performance online, but the actual video just came out and guess what? Drake, that's what!

I really like the live SNL version much more because it featured some jangly guitars that reminded me of Shakira's "She Wolf," but this is great because you can see Rhianna's insane outfit. Like, are those thigh-highs worn with denim shorts? I seriously don't understand. Also, every word out of Drake's mouth is ridiculous, like usual. I love him.

Socks

This post doesn't really have a "point." It's just something I love there. There's no video or audio, and it doesn't relate to any recent pop cultural happenings. I just feel the need to get the word out about something near and dear to my heart: fuzzy socks.
Fuzzy socks (also called slipper socks) are what I refer to as a "Grandma Gift." Last year, I'm pretty sure I got socks from both of my grandmothers and also Mom. The first time I got a pair of these (in college), I was all, "What am I going to do with these comedically fuzzy socks? They won't fit in a shoe." And they won't! I've tried to cram them into my flats and they look like Muppet feet. But once I slipped these babies on my feet I was sold.

The first pair I got were called "Socks to Stay Home In," and I remember Dan and I laughed so much at how pathetic that sounded. It's all very "Single-40-Year-Old-With-Cats," you know? Oh, you know. At first when I wore them, I was all, "Haha, you guys, these socks sure are silly!" But guess what? Those socks are comfortable. After a long winter day, nothing feels as good as slipping on your Socks to Stay Home In. Of course, this also entails admitting to yourself that you aren't leaving the house for the rest of the evening and you'll likely just be watching episodes of This American Life on Netflix, but let's face it. You were going to do that anyway.

Tig Notaro

We all love Tig Notaro, right? Of course we do. Who doesn't? She had a really nice interview on the WTF podcast a while back. I really just wanted to post these two bits. The first one is great, because it capitalizes on one of my favorite things: the word "titties". (Do you really need any more evidence?)



And this is just really solid.

Field Trip.

Can we go see this guy perform? He seems to know what he's talking about.

Seriously

I'm really just trying to get that Halloween video off the page. Seriously. It won't stop. I've been listening to this song on repeat for the last couple days, and I found this nice video of Mike Long dancing to it. How nice! If you're not familiar with Mike Long (Dipsetmuthafucka) then check him out, but let's get real. It's 2010. Everyone knows about this.

This MUST be the Place! from Mike Long on Vimeo.

Christopher Cross

I will admit that I'm only a casual fan of 30 Rock. Yes, whenever I watch it I love it, but also I always feel like I'm not the target audience. I mean, I earnestly love the Midwest a little TOO much. Regardless, this song from the upcoming 30 Rock soundtrack is GREAT! Clearly there are echoes of "Arthur's Theme" going on here. I predict Alex will love this one. You can download it on Pitchfork.

Love this one

I admit, I initially liked this song because I thought it was funny. I mean, this song is Dir-tay. It was a novelty thing. Of course, I like Dan Deacon, so that's why I originally listened to it, but it was mostly a "I can't believe she said that!" kind of thing. Now, I legitimately love this song. I listen to it on the reg. I guess I finally realized how much it applies to my own life.

Because this blog is a safe space...

..I will admit to something. I LOVE this song.

Fun fact: Whenever Papa Winfrey tries to whistle "Last Christmas," it always somehow morphs into this song. It drives Mama Winfrey bonkers.

This song

This is one of those songs I never get tired of. I actually heard the remix before I heard the original, which is fine because the remix is infinitely better. I've been listening to this song pretty consistently all year.

It's fun to sing along with if you know what he's saying. If you don't, you might be like my GF and think certain lyrics are, "Four men and a dog!" and "Chuzza wuzza wuzza lowwww." Either way you win.
