Heard on the Playground
From a 5th grader to a kid who slammed him in the thigh with an errant soccer ball kick:
Fifth grader: Ooowww! You...(struggling to come up with the proper epithet)...you PENIS!

This is beyond f**ked up.
Deliver pizzas, wife tells laid-off hubby... →
Second time in a week that a Louisiana story has made the Most Popular list on CNN. Both of them incredibly depressing. Yay, Louisiana! Not.
Delivery, please!
I really want a bottle of wine; however, I am procrastinating due to the fact that I would actually have to get up, put on shoes, get in the car, drive to the store, deal with people (because you can’t buy alcohol at the self checkout), then drive back home. It all sounds so exhausting. Ugh, why can’t there be a place in Lafayette that would deliver wine to me? Is that so much to...

Wow. Now THAT’S a first day. My first days strictly involve figuring out where the coffee is and trying not to embarrass myself.

This is why I need the internet. Who knew “Do Da Stanky Leg” was all the rage? (I am SO OLD!)

BEST ending to a benediction EVAH!

– President Barack Obama in his Inaugural Address- January 20, 2009
I think this was my favorite part of the address.
W Booed
antikris:
My mom listened to the inauguration on KGO radio on her way to work. She said the booing of W was unbelievable. I watched on CNN where the band drowned it out. I cant wait for the youtube clip of that. xxAntiKris
I thought I heard the crowd booing on ABC. Kinda tacky, if you ask me.

Currently obsessed with this band. Totally obsessed.

sbz:
why in the world would you eat ice cream in the dead of winter? let’s be serious.
Uh…because dead of winter in Louisiana translates to sixty degrees? Just sayin’. :)
Preggers?
Last night, while sitting on the couch:
Zandy: Are you pregnant?
Me (freaking out): What?!? WHAAAAAT?!? Why would you ask me that?
Zandy (pointing at US Weekly on coffee table): It's implied right there in big bold letters.
US Weekly Headline: Katie Looks Pregnant! (accompanied by pic of Katie Holmes)
Me: You're not funny. You know this, right?
You Are Being Lied to About Pirates →
lenachen:
“The independent Somalian news-site WardherNews conducted the best research we have into what ordinary Somalis are thinking - and it found 70 percent ‘strongly supported the piracy as a form of national defence of the country’s territorial waters.’ During the revolutionary war in America, George Washington and America’s founding fathers paid pirates to protect America’s territorial...
A stately pleasure-dome in XL waffle cone
Long, long, loooooong ago (think pre-oil bust, like 1980-81ish), there was a Swenson’s in Lafayette. That place was so freaking awesome that sitting here now, some 28 years after my last experience with Swenson’s, it makes my mouth water. In related “Lafayette ice cream joint” memories, for a while there a friend of mine who loves Baskin-Robbins would always ask me to go...

Ann Coulter vs. Matt Lauer
I would be willing to bet any amount of money that this woman has a diagnosable personality disorder. Seriously.
Resolutions
Me: Happy New Year, baby! Have you made any resolutions yet?
Alex: Um, no. Not really.
Me: I have!
Alex: Really? What?
Me: More SEX! You wanna get in on that resolution with me?
Alex: I would imagine I kinda have to, don't I?
Me: LOL
