Going To Hell In A Handbasket -OR- Putans Rhymes With Croutons

So, the impossible happened last weekend. What is the impossible, you say? I don’t really know. I mean, don’t get me wrong - I can name puh-lun-teee of impossible things… a Wal-Mart with no mullets, a Dave Matthews Band album with good songs, you finally being able to blow yourself, this thing… the list goes on and on. Beyond the obvious impossible shit out there, Chase got married. To a girl. That loves him. I also went to a church, like with bibles and crosses and everything, and I didn’t spontaneously combust as I crossed the threshold. That’s pretty amazing, if you ask me.

Despite my surroundings - a nice little church in Okemos - I did catch myself saying the word fuck aloud no less than 6 times. I also burst out laughing (in a subdued kinda way) during the ceremony when this hymn was accidentally flipped to:


He’s All About The Quick In And Out

I had to insist that The Shrew take a photo of it. I’m the hand model there, and I think I may have a rich future in hand modeling - I even bought lotion! Now if only I could find an easy way to apply it to my left hand… hmm…

In all seriousness, the wedding was lovely, and I had a great time hanging out with some great friends and participating in the Great American Wedding Tradition™ of getting blind stinking drunk at the reception, stealing a spoon from the Kellogg Center (it was super shiny!), calling a cab to get home, and accidentally breaking the stairway handrail in my apartment complex when I got there. Dan smash. Fuck yes. I’m extremely happy for Chase, and I wish him and his lovely bride Marissa nothing but the best of luck in their future together. Thanks for having me there on your special day. I hope you two still get to have sex now that it’s a done deal. I like my spoon.

Riding The Wake Of Internet Fads -OR- Linky McLinkerson

So, somethingawful.com (great site, if you’re one of the 3 people that have never been there - check it out!) has a daily feature that is creatively titled "The Awful Link of the Day." Today they featured PetSmart’s "Howl-O-Ween" pet photo contest. Oh, the indignities these poor animals have faced… it just warms my heart. I’m sure each of the beasts featured in these photos are plotting elaborate ways to exact horrible, bloody revenge upon their owners. Speaking of owners, I couldn’t help but think, as I looked at one pathetic costumed critter after another, how they had been "owned," in internet parlance. Other variants of this popular expression include "own3d, "PWNED," or p0wned, (however you say that.)

The dead horse that is the "owned" craze has been beat mercilessly in countless photos that pollute every square inch of the internet today. Whether it was simply divine inspiration, boredom, or the supreme urge to contribute to the fads of yesterday that compelled me, I am not certain. But I did it. I made an "owned picture." Use it on your favorite Star Trek forum when someone tells the previous poster that their vision of the show is more blind than Geordi without that banana clip thing on his face.


Oh Fucking Snap, Dog
