The U.S.A. as Seen By a New Yorker

To all my New York friends, 

I mean no disrespect.  :-)  Truly, I don't.  Hell, we have a governor who wants to secede from the rest of the country. LOL.  Love ya!

What a Hot Mess: "Lightning Never Strikes Twice"

This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I have ever read.  On Sunday afternoon, a man from New Jersey died when a lightning struck a tree he was standing next to.  

According to MSNBC, Stephen Rooney decided to have a cigar, so he did what any respectful person would do, walk away from the barbecue to smoke it.  He turns around and tells his family, "Don't worry guys, lightning never strikes twice."  He was talking about his Father, who died 48 years earlier by a bolt of lightning while he was fishing.  What a hot mess!  

What does this teach you? That life is too short, and nature doesn't give a rat's ass about truisms!

Madonna's Gaga Nightmare

This has got to be the most hilarious shit ever!  OMG!  It's a parody on all our gay icons, minus Britney, thank God!  The video titled, "Madonna's Gaga Nightmare," focuses on Madonna trying to revive her career.  So what does she do?  She calls up Lady Gaga, and simply asks her to give it back.  Gaga doesn't know who she is, and hangs up on her several times.  Madonna then proceeds to tell her, “You’ve stolen my looks, my music, and my gays and I want it back!” But Lady Gaga keeps hanging up on her. 

So she then calls up Cher to apologize for stealing the gays from her back in the 80's, but Cher doesn't want to hear any of it, and hangs up on her too.  

Madonna, can't take it anymore, and decides to go to an anonymous group which is run by "Sue Sylvester," and finds other famous icons in the support group, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, and Barbara Streisand.  It is absolutely hilarious.  

So how does her nightmare end? Watch the video below and find out.

Who Would You Rather Have? Someone Who Compromises To Get Things Done or Someone Who Sticks To Their Principles?

Was there ever really any question?  Look at the chart below, it's plain and simple folks!  No, I mean really look at it!

Republicans have their heads so far up their asses, that our nation will ultimately fall.  If they don't start compromising on the issues we value most, you can mark my words, we will be a 3rd world country in a matter of time. We may not be around to witness it, but our children and grandchildren will.  

To see the rise of the greatest nation on earth, and see it fall in the span of only 500 years, is not something I'd like to witness.  But if America keeps electing these idiots, then you'll see it, I can almost guarantee it.

If our future is in the hands of the "Calen" generation, then we (gay or straight) may have a chance.

Entire Harry Potter Series in Under 7 Minutes

Ryan and I are currently watching all the Harry Potter movies before this weekend's release of The Deathly Hallows - Part 2.  But if you don't have the time to watch all the movies, then by all means watch the following video.  

It's not only informative, but quite entertaining.  I loved it, and learned a few things I didn't know before.  Oh, and it will make you laugh too!

Are People Really This Stupid?

The other day when I heard the news about the baseball fan who fell to his death at a Texas Rangers Game, I got real distraught.  I mean, here was a dad who took his 6-year old son to a ballpark, and within a matter of minutes he was dead.  I cannot begin to imagine, or even contemplate what would happen if such a tragedy occurred with me.

For those who don't know the story, you can read about it here, but long story short, the Rangers have a custom of tossing balls to their fans at every game.  When one of the outfielders threw a ball to him, the father reached too far over a railing and fell 27 feet onto a concrete pavement.  That wasn't the end of it.

It was expected he was going to live, because he was still talking to everyone, waving his hands back and forth, and even had a chance to talk to his son.  But on the way to the hospital he went into cardiac arrest, and died.  Shannon Stone was 39 years old.
The reason I'm writing this post, is because it almost happened again two nights ago.  

At this point, I'm about to re-evaluate my feelings on the whole matter.  Why on God's green earth would you attempt to do exactly the same thing Shannon Stone did (and DIE) at a baseball game?  

I swear, the first time I can feel sorry for you, because I may not understand the concept of it all; the 2nd time, I just can't!  Are people really this stupid?   

Keith Carmickle from Phoenix, Arizona would have been dead Monday night, if it were not for his brother and friend who grabbed his ass, and kept him from falling.

Thinking it's a funny thing, Carmickle says,

''I thought: I've lived a good life,'' as he's dangling.

Oh, really??? Unbelievable, and then he comes on Good Morning America today and says, "I was using bad judgement on my part."  No shit Sherlock!  What a change of heart all of a sudden.  I swear, I'm done with this post, it just keeps making me angry. ugh.

Our Future Is In Their Hands - Take 3

As you all well know, online videos can go viral within a matter of days. But they can also go down just as fast.  Which is the case with this brilliant little boy named Calen. 

No longer available on YouTube, the following video takes place during a family Thanksgiving, where a gay couple, and this adorable little kid have a discussion on gay marriage.

“A husband’s a boy, a wife is a girl and a husband's a boy?” the boy confers “Then you two are husbands!? You married each other?! That’s funny.”

He then added, “I always see husbands and wives, but this is the VERY FIRST TIME I’ve ever seen husbands and husbands!" the boy exclaims... "So… that means you love each other!"

Now if the kid understands, why can't the bigots and hypocrites of this country understand?  

"So that means you love each other!" - PRICELESS!

In the end, it didn't matter to him if this couple was gay, all he understood was that they loved each other, and that is all that mattered to him.

"I’m going to go play ping pong now. You can play too if you want,” he tells them.

OMG Hilarious! - Data Recovery

I discovered a new web-comic today, and I absolutely love it!  It's creator is Justin Boyd, an artist from Australia. 

Here's an excerpt from Justin's "About" page on his website, Invisible Bread:

Hi!  This is Invisible Bread!

This site updates every Tuesday and Thursday with new comics containing infinite amounts of bread that you can’t see.  If you ever see any bread, please let me know because it’s supposed to be invisible.

Today's comic is titled, "Data Recovery"

 

I will post this web-comic from time to time and will categorize it under the same category as Cyanide and Happiness' web-comic.  If  you want to know more about Invisible Bread, check them out after the jump.

Mind-Boggling News: Penis Thrown Into Garbage Disposal

Yeah, you read that right.  You might've thought that Lorena Bobbitt was long gone, but that bitch has returned. Re-incarnated!  

Back when I was in college we all read about how this crazy woman cut off some dude's dick, and threw it out in a field somewhere.  In the end, the dick was found and they sewed it back together, but the anguish he must have felt - ugh, I can't even think about it.

This time around, a woman named Catherine Kieu Becker filled her husband up with drugs or some type of poison to make him sleepy, tied him up, and when he woke up, told him, "you deserve this you fucking bastard," and cut off his dick.  Okay, so she didn't say "you fucking bastard," but she did chop the damn thing off.  She went to the kitchen and dropped it in the garbage disposal, "chop, chop, chop."

The guy is listed in stable condition after emergency surgery.  OMG, I feel for the guy - there are some crazy bitches out there.  

Straight guys, if you're reading this - and you cheat - you better fucking run.  Gay guys, we know you don't do that sort of thing, we value our dicks too much.  If our boyfriends or husbands cheat, we just sleep with their best friends or their very hot brother. LOL, just kidding.

What a Hot Mess: Need a Job? Try REDBOX

WHAT-A-RECIPE - Lobster Rolls

I actually never heard of Ben Sargent until I read an article on CNN, where this guy from Massachusetts was "shelling out 150 rolls a night from his snug Brooklyn apartment to the lobster-loving masses - well, that is until the Department of Health paid him a little visit and scrubbed his whole shellfish stint."

According to the article, Sargent was offered a job on the Cooking Channel, where he hosts his own show, "Hook, Line & Dinner."

Luckily for me and you, I saved the images from the article, because I didn't want there to be a chance I couldn't find the recipe.  The following images not only offer a step-by-step guide on how to cook a lobster, but a recipe on how to make Sargent's delicious Lobster Rolls.   They really do look quite delicious - I can't wait to try the recipe sometime.

Check out the slideshow I made, it's pretty cool... (enlarge to read the captions)

The Tree of Ages

I absolutely love this picture.  It's hard to imagine that some trees can live for thousands of years, but this one in particular is quite special.  

The picture below is a cross-section of a tree in America that lived through Mohammed being born, Joan of Arc, the discovery of our country, electricity, and the civil war, until it was cut down in 1891.

What a Hot Mess: Bang Bang & Boom Boom

I know that July 4th has already passed, but I couldn't help but post this hot mess of a commercial on my blog.  

Seriously?  Who all wants to go with me and visit Bang Bang and Boom Boom?  Oh. My. God. What a hot mess!

Isn't This The Truth? "The Secret's Out"

It's sad, but the comic below actually is quite true.  Why pay for a gym membership, study law, rent a house, or buy food, when you can get it all for free in prison?  I mean, sure you'll have some burly man, cozying up to you at night, but you can't beat the benefits anywhere else.  Everything is paid for!

TNT's "DALLAS" - First Look

If you missed last night's "First Look" on the return of "Dallas" to the small screen, then wait no more... I have the trailer from TNT right here.  If you're a fan of the old series, or remember the characters, this will definitely take you back to yesteryear, and we absolutely loved it!

The preview starts with Bobby (Patrick Duffy) with his all too familiar voice, "All those fights over Ewing Oil, and Southfork. We laid waste to everything in our path, J.R., and for what?”

OMG! This is Priceless!

Entertainment Weekly said it best:

"There was a shot of a liver-spotted hand, then a glimpse of some wildly overgrown white eyebrows — why, it was J.R. Ewing himself! Hagman sat in a chair in a darkened room, looking as though he was trying to turn Southfork into a set for The Godfather."

Most of the lines were from Bobby, but you got a sense of all the drama that would ensue.

“I am sick to death of this family devouring itself over money!” said Bobby.

“No drilling on my ranch!” said Bobby to Henderson’s John Ross.

The Good-looking and hot-tempered son of Bobby and Pam, Christopher (Metcalfe) angrily says, “Oil’s the past, John Ross.”

“Couldn’t disagree more,” snaps John Ross. “You’ll never be a Ewing, Christopher!”

The trailer cuts back and forth between J.R. and Bobby, and the new brood of Ewings.

“I don’t want them to be like us,” said Bobby, talking about the new-new-new Ewings.

And I also agree with Ken Tucker, from Entertainment Weekly, responding to Bobby's suggestion of not wanting the kids to be like them:

"Well, I do. The more the new young punks act like the ruthless barons of the 1980s hit, the better this series will be."

And this is exactly true, the more ruthless and scandalous John Ross and Bobby are, the stronger the show will be.  This is what made "Dallas" a powerhouse back in the 80's. 

It was also great hearing the infamous theme song in the background as the words, “Money,” “Power,” and “Rivalry” blazed across the screen.

You also have sense of betrayal, when a brief close-up of Sue Ellen telling John Ross, "Think of me as your ally," flashes across the screen.

For those who remember the original series, the last 5 years of the show, Sue Ellen was always siding with Bobby, or finding ways to get back at J.R.  So I'm interested to see what she meant by saying "ally" to John Ross.  I mean, he is her son after all, what won't a mother do for her son?

And finally, one of the most memorable lines from last night, “Bobby was always a fool” and “I’m the one who belongs on Southfork. It’s mine, and only mine.” J.R. proclaims.
