Quoted - Clint Eastwood & Leonardo DiCaprio on Gay Marriage

Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood's conversation with GQ Magazine on their upcoming movie about J. Edgar Hoover turned onto the subject of Gay Marriage...

Clint Eastwood: “These people who are making a big deal about gay marriage? I don’t give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of … Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”

Leonardo DiCaprio: “That’s the most infuriating thing – watching people focus on these things. Meanwhile, there’s the onset of global warming and these incredibly scary and menacing things with the future of our economy.”

What a Hot Mess: Planking Gone Wrong

So are we feeling a bit nostalgic for some 1990's?

Isn't This The Truth? 90% of Facebook Statuses Can Be Broken Down Into These Categories

I found this chart truly hilarious. Not only because it's the truth, but how many of you fall into one or all of these categories?

In His Own Words: Throwing a Ball Was The Most Nerve-Wracking Moment of George Bush's Presidency

"The adrenaline was coursing through my veins, and the ball felt like a shotput. And Todd Greene, the catcher, looked really small. Sixty feet and six inches seemed like a half-mile. And anyway, I took a deep breath and threw it, and thankfully it went over the plate. The response was overwhelming. It was the most nervous I had ever been. It was the most nervous moment of my entire presidency, it turns out."

Yes, supposedly the most-nervous moment in all of President George W. Bush's life was throwing the first pitch during the 2001 World Series.  I know, you think I'm making it up, because you Republicans believe Georgie was God, correction, is God.  In either case, here the former President stating his case on the documentary, Beyond 9/11: Portraits of Resilience. which aired last weekend on HBO and CNN.

 

And you thought the following issues would have been George Bush's Most Nerve-wracking moment...

• Challenged his father—at the time the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations—to a fight, mano a mano.
• Was arrested for drunk driving.
• Quit drinking.
• Achieved narrowest presidential victory in history after a month-long recount battle.
• Nearly choked to death on a pretzel.
• Received warning in August 2001 that Osama bin Laden was "determined to strike" in the United States.
• Flew around the nation in Air Force One on September 11, 2001, looking for a safe place to land as nation beneath him shuddered under worst attack in modern memory.
• Ordered the invasion of Afghanistan.
• Ordered the invasion of Iraq.
• Survived grenade attack in Tblisi, Georgia.
• Presided over federal response to the destruction of the nation's 31st largest city by a storm.
• Initiated and authorized most wide-ranging extrajudicial surveillance of American citizens in a generation.
• Authorized the torture of detainees in U.S. custody.

Drive Recklessly: Not Every Person Is A Good Person

Okay this PSA (Public Service Announcement) is wrong on so many levels, but I couldn't keep myself from laughing.  I'm sorry, but this bitch could have saved millions of lives!!!!

OMG Hilarious! - Crossword Yeah!

Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 20

I didn't know whether to laugh hysterically or scream "STOP!" while searching for today's Foods That Will Make You Fat.  I came across these ridiculous concoctions that made me laugh, and quite frankly I thought I had lost it.  LOL.

What makes people come up with these ideas is beyond me. I can't imagine sitting at my table writing a new recipe, and asking myself, "hmmm, I wonder what waffles, cheese and hamburger meat would taste like?"

The Thunderdome

Oh Lord Jesus, please help me.  Three stacks of bacon, sausage, elk meat, onions and cheese between tortillas all topped with sour cream, two fried eggs and scallions.  Elk meat? Really?  I feel sorry for the poor animal that died just to be made into this pile of hot mess!

Hot Beef Sundae

I honestly don't want to know, but it looks like roast beef, mashed potatoes, cheese, and a cherry tomato on top.  And who knows what else is underneath that pile of crap.  OMG! That is so disgusting!  I guess this gives a whole new meaning to the popular side, "Loaded Mashed Potatoes".

Cheeseburger Waffles

You thought I was kidding when I wrote my piece up at the top, didn't you?  But seriously?  Why would you take my Eggo and do this to it?  I want syrup, not cheddar cheese and ground beef smothered all on top of it.  The least you could have done was add bacon!

YES!  THESE FOODS WILL MAKE YOU FAT!

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 27 - Baby Polar Bear's First Time In The Snow

This video is super cute.  It makes me almost wish I had a pet polar bear, if it wasn't for it's ferocious appetite.  The baby polar bear is cute nonetheless.

I Would Rather Go to Hell...

Seriously.... After watching the Republican debate last night I couldn't help but almost laugh and yell at the same time.  All these people are idiots!  Everyone of them!!! And this includes the stupid-ass, teabagging audience who would rather have a 30-yr-old die, than for him to have health insurance.

I would rather go to hell than to vote for any of these Republicans.  They've condemned me and Ryan to it anyway.

Last night they chanted "Obama depression" like he was the one who got us into this mess.  Nothing will ever improve as long as we have a Republican congress, because their goal is to watch President Obama fail.  They don't approve legislation or agree with any of the policies put forth by this administration because they want to win the election in 2012, not because they care about you. TRUST ME, NONE OF THEM CARE ABOUT YOU!!!  None!  Zero! Zilch! They don't give a shit about you!!!

This entire piece actually got crazier, because he started going into how the churches would pay for his care, they wouldn't let him die. 

Because every american can go into a church and ask for help, right?

OMG Hilarious! - No Prego

Must Watch: Table 7

Another amazing short film produced by another amazing director.  It is a really good film, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as the "Porcelain Unicorn" I posted last month. 

As I refer to his website's biography page, Marko Slavnić, was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and came to the United States with his family in 1991 when he was just eight years old. He grew up in Austin, Texas, where he graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in RTF (radio, television and film).

After college, Marko began his professional career creating corporate and commercial videos for several national and international companies. However, with a passion and a talent for storytelling, he recently began pursuing more creative outlets of filmmaking.

The following short film, uploaded by Marko on YouTube describes it as "a couple having an intimate conversation in a restaurant, unaware that their every word is being closely monitored. However, not all is as it seems."  A poignant film I might add.

R.I.P. Spartacus

I've talked about Spartacus several times since I started my blog, and nothing saddens me more than to learn that he has died.  While the character has not deceased, the actor who played him, has.  

Andy Whitfield, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma about a year and a half ago died over the weekend.  He was only 39 years old.  R.I.P. Andy a.k.a. Spartacus

“The Welsh-born actor who moved to Australia was diagnosed with the disease about a year and a half ago, and bowed out of filming the second season of the Starz show after the cancer was discovered.” - LA Times

Famous Sweaters

Russian Pigeon Karate

The next time you're thinking of joining a martial arts class, think of Russian pigeon fighting.  Yep, an art that's been lost through the ages.

Managing to capture the pigeons in the first place is an art in itself, but that's a whole 'nother lesson. lol.

To Shave or Not To Shave? That Is The 9/11 Question...

When the World Trade towers came down on 9/11, a middle-school teacher from East Wenatchee, Washington made a promise he wouldn't break...

Gary Weddle, a devoted science teacher, vowed that he wouldn't shave until Osama bin Laden was captured or killed, and it's a sure bet he didn't think it would take 9 years to do it.

Four months ago, when a friend of Weddle's called and told him that Osama bin Laden had been killed, he cried for a full five minutes.  He took a razor to his face and shaved off the beard he'd been wanting to get rid of for 9 years. 

"He cut the beard and was shaving the stubble even before President Obama addressed the nation about bin Laden’s demise" - The Daily Astorian.
