thoughts on a new president part 4 – Stephen Colbert

Hypothetically speaking, if Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report was a person rather than persona, I would pass out. I love that brash, smug, alpha male. I heart that balls to the wall, take no prisoners, are you inside my joke, welcome to my universe attitude that makes an uptight, liberal gal like me unclench.

South Carolina will have the best primary ever.

Sigh.

boom boom is 27!

Though devastated that I am not in NYC to celebrate the happy, happy birthdays of Miss Boom Boom, Savory, and Suss, I am sending the best of wishes. With that said, here is a little something from my imaginary boyfriend that will fill two to three birthday gals with glee!

Much love ladies!

P.S.  After a long hiatus of lazy posts and outright nothings, I’m back.  Sort of.  We’ll see.

story for AKA stephanie

At my work a day, I am in the process of pulling together an off-site meeting for twenty or so people.  Part of the tedium that goes along with the success of said event is visiting the location.  I hightailed it onto the Metro North, and got myself to a beautiful campus in Chappaqua.  I toured the site, met with the sales manager, and began to go over the contract detail.

We stepped into a conference room to discuss the particulars.  At this point, the facility director came over and offered me a cold beverage.  This was much appreciated as we walked most of the campus.  As we are sitting down to work, he said, “Oh dear.  I’m so sorry.  I wasn’t thinking.  It’s lunch time and I haven’t offered you anything to eat.  Can I get something for you?  Perhaps a nice Philly cheese steak?”

That was just about the best question anyone has ever asked me.

mr. math can’t catch – part 3

Part three is a doozy of a long post, but it’s the last one. That, and I couldn’t find a good place to edit the sucker.

feminist ha-ha

[EDIT: I posted this on October 09, 2006 @ 23:28 on a blog that I did for a writing class. It still amuses me. I am tossing it back in the archives at the end of the week.]

Usually, I don’t watch Jay Leno. His jokes are designed for trucked-in tourists who’ve been standing in the sun too long.  I find it appalling that he directs cat-fight noises towards his female guests who express a strong opinion about anything.

It was by chance that his show was on in the background when Jay introduced his next guest, Annika Sorenstam. Since I watch as much golf as I do Jay Leno,  I wasn’t expecting the chuckles. Color me surprised.

Sorenstam was speaking about playing golf with her buddy Tiger Woods. She said that they would get very competitive, and would make bets on the game. When asked if she would ever win, she went on to say, “Sometimes, but I only get seven-tenth of what he does.”

That is what we call a zinger. Unfortunately, Jay’s audience didn’t get the funny.

Shame.

I leave you with this amazing piece of geek humor:

when snarky comments happen to good posts…

For those who know and love the machinations of wordpress, you might have noticed that the feed stats have been retired. It was fun while it lasted.

In any case, there was a bit of a fracas that erupted on the forums that made me laugh. I know I shouldn’t but it is kind of fun when techies get into a slap-fight.

June 13th resolution: I will not laugh at the wounded ego of others.

confrontation, doogie style…

I love McSweeney’s anthology. I happened upon it many moons ago because it came with a TMBG soundtrack (yes a soundtrack for an anthology).

I think that I love them most of all for their crack investigative reporting. Through hours of mind-numbing reading, and brain crushing VI conversions, they have uncovered the lost journals of Doogie Howser, MD.
