I was recently in Rhode Island for a friend’s wedding. Having never been to Rhode Island before, I was amazed at how beautiful it was. So beautiful, in fact, that I ended up extending my weekend by an extra two days just to soak up as much of it as possible. It was a fantastic weekend, filled with great times and great laughs.
One of the first laughs of the weekend (and possibly by far the best laugh) came on Friday night at the rehearsal dinner. The restaurant where the dinner took place was situated right on the water where hundreds of sailboats were docked. It was a very large restaurant, with an upstairs deck and a downstairs seating area. Behind the seating area downstairs were picnic tables, firepits, and even a stage. After a round of drinks or two, a bunch of my friends and I took a walk downstairs to check out the scenery. We were down there about 10 minutes when we were told to take our seats upstairs as dinner was about to be served.
As we walked toward the wooden staircase, we noticed about 15 restaurant staff members lined up to go upstairs. They started clapping loudly, and it was obvious that they were heading upstairs to embarrass some poor soul by surrounding their table clapping as loud as possible and singing some dorky ass version of “Happy Birthday.” (If you can’t tell by my tone, I HATE when this happens in restaurants. Especially to me.) As the staff members began to make their way up the stairs, the girl in the front of the line totally tripped up the stairs and disappeared amongst the sea of black shirts behind her. Everyone started laughing since, come on, it’s pretty fucking funny when someone falls. What my friends and I didn’t see at first however, until the poor girl stood up and turned around, was that she had been carrying a large chocolate cake up those stairs, and when she fell, she fell FACE FIRST into the chocolate cake. She had chocolate icing all over her face and down her shirt. Her coworkers erupted in even louder hysterics and everyone within earshot turned around to see Chocolate Face. It was hysterical. I’m not sure if it’s one of those “had to be there moments” – maybe it is, but for shit’s sake I know that I was sitting in a restaurant and noticed that the fucking waiters were coming over to sing me Happy Birthday so everyone else can hear, it would make my fucking day to see one of them bite it and faceplant into what was supposed to be my dessert. Awesome.
I’ve been hearing that question more and more frequently these days. People say, “Well, isn’t it the same as updating your Facebook status?” And I kindly reply, “Well, no, not really.” Then they ask me to explain it further and every time it just seems to get harder and harder to vocalize exactly what Twitter is and exactly WHY it is so addicting. Everyone’s in on it! My mom even signed up for Twitter but she doesn’t know what the hell for, she just heard it was the “new thing.” Hell, relationships are ending because of Twitter addictions!!!
So when I found the following animation on YouTube, I thought I’d post it here so that anyone wondering what the fuss is all about can check it out. For those of you already on the Twitter bandwagon, I hope you find this as funny as I did.
If you have enough time on your hands to be able to do as many takes as were needed to get this right, well then…you seriously have a lot of time on your hands. I love to play Guitar Hero. Love it! It’s an addiction. When I first brought it home, I don’t think I left my apartment the entire weekend, and got about 4 hours of sleep over three days because I just had to pass this song! Even my mom loves it. No shit!
It’s like once you play you’re never the same. It’s like The Ring, only no creepy wet dead girls climb out of the TV and you don’t die. Unless you’re as hooked as this guy, because he really almost gets hit by a car. This is so awesome, it totally made my day. And now I’m going to go play some Prisoner of Society.
Thanks to Drop Dead Chris for sharing!
I am a lifetime Saturday Night Live fan, but I’ll be the first to admit that the show is not quite what is used to be. Every so often though, they will do something great that will remind us why it’s been on the air for 23 years. It seems as though Justin Timberlake has a lot to do with those particular times I find myself laughing so hard I cry. He wasn’t even a guest this week; he just decided it might be funny to drop by, stuff his junk into a leotard and dance around on live television with Beyonce.
You all remember “Dick In A Box” right? That shit won an Emmy. Yea.
Seriously though? This is hilarious:
PS-Thanks for whoever uploaded this to Vimeo. Except it’s BeYONce.

The sweet spot is about 2:40 in, but it is definitely worth watching the entire video. You’ll know what’s coming after poor, poor Scarlet puts on those shoes. Why she thought it was a good idea is beyond me, but I thank her dearly for the mistake.
Ouch. You know you’ve been there.
Thanks to Miss G for sharing!
UPDATE: I realized the original video had been taken down by the user, so I found this condensed version. Although in my opinion the longer buildup is funnier, but I think you’ll find this almost as funny.
Are you all as anxious and excited as I am for November 4th? I can barely sit still. Living in NYC you don’t see many (if any) McCain/Palin buttons walking around, so in all of our minds Obama has already won the election. Of course we all know that’s not really true, but no one wants to say anything about the slim possibility of a Republican victory for fear that maybe we’ll jinx it – so no one says anything at all. On top of that, being the home of Saturday Night Live, we’ve been inundated with parodies of all of the candidates, so the comic relief around here has been aplenty.
Nevertheless, I absolutely need to share with you the following political satire. It mimics the infamous “I’m Fucking Matt Damon,” and for those of you that may be experiencing some election anxiety, this should give you a nice reprieve. Unless, of course, you are voting for “the other guy” and in that case you probably won’t like it.
Or….maybe….
Thanks to my sis for sharing, and big props to her coworker et al for making it!! (Love the Perez shout!)
