Today’s Music: Phantogram – When I’m Small
Summary of the week that was:
Cons – Cube Life. Crappy Holiday Music. Still looking for work.
Pros – Living with TMWGITU. The more relaxed spirit of the holiday season. And blogs!
Here’s some of what I read this week.
Natalie introduced us to her very cool sister. Hasty Words wrote some more great poetry, and and TwinDaddy asked a question we all have some kind of answer for.
Thanks to them, and to all of you, for making it a pleasure to be online!
But that’s not all there was last week. There was a poll! We wondered how y’all thought El Guapo stayed so handsome.
And some of your answers were impossible, immoral, or downright illegal. And I loved every single one of them!
Here’s what you said. (As always, my comments strut down the runway in italics.)
Shopping for Cigars with Bill… Androgoth
(Better than shopping for dresses with him. (They end up stained…))
Taking Lessons from Andro… Androgoth
(I have been! Pay no attention to those binoculars across the street.)
Abstaining from Sex… Laugh Everyone that was a Joke… Androgoth
(Oh yes. A joke. Ha. Haha. Sob…)
Drinking Jet Fuel… The Killer Shot… Androgoth
(It’s not the drinking. It’s the keeping it down.)
Kissing Fifty Virgins on the Ass and Whistling Dixie… Androgoth
(It’s not the kissing so much as the getting slapped after. Does wonders for my skin!)
Bee stings and birds pooping on your face like Snow White & the Huntsman? Quirky
(It sounds so tawdry when you put it like that…)
Magnificent Hair of course! lindav
(I buy it by the yard from Petco!)
daily mud mask with secretions from David Bowie’s naughty bits. Rutabaga ~ (TMR)
(Isn’t all of David Bowie a naughty bit?)

(The trick is doing them all at the same time…)
Oil of Olay John Phillips
(Wait – you mean it’s not just a food topping?!?)
Always stand next to someone who is uglier than you (family excluded) Michelle
(Trust me, family has learned not to stand next to me. Sadly, strangers learn it pretty fast too…)
Fastidious regime of unicorn polo and marshmallow laser treatments
(No, there was a regime change to overthrow the Weapons of Mass AWESOME!!!)
An apple from his Eve, and a call into Dr John the next morning+
(Given Dr John’s reputation, why exactly would I want to call him?)
Eating babies. (GiggsMcGill Jill)
(Actually, I like to steep them in gravy just to impart their sweet flavor!)
Beanz on toazt and on everything elze, too.
(Well, it’s true I’ve been accused of having beanz in my earz…)
It’s a toupee!!! Please say it’s a toupee. L&L
(It’s a toupee. Wow, it’s easy to make you happy.)
WHO??? OMG, you mean that devilishly handsome fella with not enuf space to say boo to even on the day after his (he’s HOW old) and to wonder who buddhakat is? Oh, I guess I don’t remember the guy – I used to visit his blog all the time then I got so busy, and now I’m baaaaaack!!!!! 😉 buddhakatvotes for EG!!!
(WE HAVE A WINNER!!! (If only for figuring out how to get past the comment length limit.)
He’s Dracula’s younger brother – benzeknees
(Fangs for noticing!)
The Baker’s Dozen ‘o Donuts in his Yellow Lederhosen –Miss R
(Those ain’t donuts, bab- oh wait, yes they are…)
He’s really from another planet – not mine. John E.
(That’s it, I’m telling the mothership to leave you behind.)
MEGA doses of Vitamin cute..it’s zannyrobut don’t tell anybody,lol
(Liquid vitamin cute. Sold under the street name “beer”.)
a happy and fulfulling life with his lady
(Now how can answer that snarkily? Oh right, because I’m me.)
intense marshmallow lazer therapy – Alex A: )
(The marshmallow makes my hair all sticky shiny.)
Drinking Hotspur juice! eeeww…(words&otherthings)
(No, but I’m now vomiting my bug juice.)
He probably gets Chinese baby pills from the black market. – Emily @ The Waiting
(Made in Korea! (no one will get that but you.))
photoshop Stay Abnormal
(Tried to capture my image. Broke the laptop camera.)
Nada, it’s in the sexy Rico Suave genes under his jeans. (Kina, humaninrecovery)
(There is nothing under my jeans. Hehehe.)
Good food and great beer! KBar3
(But the mediocre stuff is so much cheaper!)
Vampire blood–says Carrie Rubin
(Yikes! I’m glad vampires are the trend right now and not zombies!)
Photoshop – StuphBlog
(No, I just use the pictures that come with the frames.)
being in love with TMWGITU. Loving spirits are more beautiful – sandylikeabeach
(No no, I’m all about the outer beauty.)
Beer diet and extreme sports, or good genes or is it good jeans? (Kanerva)
(The jeans don’t fit from the beer diet. Wouldn’t. I mean wouldn’t fit. Crap. )
TLC from TMWGITU (Frank)
(…and bdsm. Hehehe)
By remaining young at heart and positively positive. KJ
(And more than just a little relaxedly relaxed!)
quarts of vasoline (addie)
(Gallons. Have you seen how long my hair is?)
Congratulations to buddhakat for this weeks winning answer! And from the offered choices, the most popular was BRRAAAAIIIINNNSSS!!!!! A fantastic post birthday present!
Which means, I guess, that it’s time for this week’s poll. I’m not so sure, because my head is spinning from all the gift shopping crowds stumbling through midtown. So this time, the question is all about the holiday shopping.
Answer when you have a moment, but don’t take too long, because this one ends at 2359EST, on 20 Dec.
And until we meet again, enjoy these.
In the spirit of the season, the first is one of TMWGITU’s favorites
And lastly, for those of you with enough time on your hands (I already know your senses of humor are bent enough), this is for you:
Have a great week, can’t wait til we run into each other again!
