Famous People Tweet Too



Recent celebrity wisdom from Twitter:


Yoko Ono:  Sometimes the moon looks closer than Tokyo.


Crispin Glover:  Hello.  The person who was twittering as Crispin Hellion Glover on this account previously was not me.  Now this is me Crispin Hellion Glover!


Fred Durst:  Time to cuddle.  Time to think.  Time to cuddle.  Oh boy.



Vanessa Hudgens:  I'm on the prowl for the cutest sandals for Spring......and Summer!!!!!!!!



Kevin Smith:  I went for a walk today.  It's the most exercise I've had in months.  I'm ready to vomit.  Fuck, I'm fat.




Everyone can stop holding their breath

People magazine has confirmed what the world hoped was true: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are still friends.

If that isn't enough to get the box of Kleenex out, then know that they take vacations together too.  With their families.

Celebrity Stand-Up: John Mayer

Zombies with whitened teeth



Teeth-whitening has turned scary smiles into far scarier smiles by making snaggled-tooth grins impossibly pearly.

And it's brought to you by the most ridiculous fake-blog advertisements on the web, with contrived comments like:

JulieHow long did it take to ship?
Sarah@Julie, not long at all. If I remember correctly, it was about a week for both products.

This might be the one place where we would advocate for celebrities to be placed above the rest of us.

Is everyone here? Can we get started?




In medieval times, men and women were tortured on triangular seats where the victims were slowly and cruelly impaled.






Today, we call this method of persecution "the conference call."

Sure he's not trying to be somebody in BTO?


The depths of the tribute-band abyss have now been plummed with this story: "Edgerton Dentist Rocks Out In Mellencamp Tribute Band."

The tooth-pulling goes on into the night.


Really? In this economy?


Much like the pharmaceutical companies and their pen fixation, most logos today are slapped on innappropriate products that have nothing to do with the logos themselves.







Though occasionally made in the USA, most of the products are cheap knockoffs produced in foreign sweat shops ...






... by indigent workers with little hope for a bright future.





Call us cynical, but isn't there a better way to spend money in this ecomony?






The You Are Free To Go Online Emporium. Open for business.

Makes the wine cooler seem like a legitimate drink

Flavored martinis are an abomination - they're trendy, they're expensive, and have the worst names imaginable: "panty-remover", for instance.

Oh, and the bartender dudes that make them - they're smooth too.

Now that's service?

God bless restaurants for trying to do the little things but taking all the paper off a straw except for one bit on the end just isn't necessary. We can manage that one.

Just work on the big stuff, like being friendly and providing decent service.

That will be fine.

Every Dog Has Its Daybed

Kennels suck, say our dog.

That's why it wants to be booked in one of the several dog resorts replacing traditional boarding joints.

And why not? The dog can choose from:
  • Bungalow
  • Suite
  • Villa
  • Ambassador Suite
  • Presidential Suite
And after dark, relax with some of the bitches in the Central Bark Lounge.  Our vacation sounds kinda lame in comparison.

Attack of the Super Tomatoes

Need a gift idea for the person who has everything except for giant fruit? We got you covered.  Yes, it's ...

"A super-growing tree that z-o-o-m-s high as a man IN JUST 3 MONTHS!" 

Don't like tomatoes?  You can still 

Grow In Yard As A Garden Wonder...Or As A Patio Showpiece!

And just in case you're worried the offer's not legit, rest easy.  Super Tomatoes are As Seen On TV.

Time to change the chickens diapers?

The free-range chicken movement was touted as a better, humane alternative to giant corporate enterprises that jammed birds into confined spaces.

Free-range is on the back-burner now, replaced by the idea of urban chicken keeping - where well-meaning, but sadly-deluded city dwellers jam birds into confined spaces that happen to be in their yards.

This article even states it's possible to keep chickens indoors, "through the use of diapers."

Still waiting for Lee Greenwood to enlist


God Bless the USA - Lee Greenwood













Hoist the boombox over your head and smash it

Schock the monkey

Meet Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL).

Congressman Studly (as he's now being referred to on TMZ.com) has the best abs in Congress. As Schock told CNN:

People who watch TMZ or different mediums don't expect to see their congressman on such a show. They're used to seeing the Britney Spears or the movie star, but to see their hometown congressman on a show like this kind of raises their interest and gets them a little excited.

Somehow, Capra didn't see this coming.

These people also can devour an entire night of karaoke

We know better than most that it's nice to have commentors.

But on some sites, scribes are averaging eight forum posts a day since 2006? That qualifies as a PIG in our book - it's nothing to deify.

When Tragedy Becomes a Cliche



And no, we're not going to read his poetry now.

The Glamourous Life

Glamour Shots is trying to upgrade its image from the old days of feather boas and Vaseline-smeared lenses. A laudable goal -- but it's going to take us a while to get over these:



Celebrity Stand-Up: Girls Gone Wild's Joe Francis

Wear this to hear others cutting you down for having a Bluetooth

The Bell & Howell Silver Sonic XL looks like a Bluetooth earpiece but it's not.

It's a high-powered hearing aid.

Now you can be a jerk for listening in on conversations instead of talking over them.

Real. Ugly. Pants.






What is it about golf that makes grown men wear ugly pants?






Caution: They breed.


Go out cheering

With even pro sports feeling the pinch we shouldn't be surprised to see an NFL-licensed coffin but that doesn't make it any less sad.

KFC in Bulgaria goes far beyond the laughable "Colonel's Email Club" of its USA counterparts with a full-blown KFC Club rewards card.

According to the website it's fun and easy too: "The only thing you have to do is enjoy KFC Original taste more often."

Bid like your lips depend on it




Three bids for six "all new" strawberry Chapsticks.


Four days left.
