New Blog!

I've got a new baby and a new blog! If anyone still checks this blog (doubtful), head on over to http://theleopride.blogspot.com/ to get an update!

HA ha

(Yes, that should be read like Nelson on the Simpsons).

The news is covering the TT/ OU game that is happening in 34 minutes and they showed footage of OU running their Sooners flags after a score. Only the flags spelled out S-O-O-N-E-S-R. Nice try there, folks. It really is going to be hard to remember that I'm cheering for them tonight, but I consider them the lesser of 2 evils (shudder).

This is the best Political Ad I've ever seen

Ladies and Gentlemen, I can be taught!

I just had a woman inform me that the zip code I gave her was incorrect. I told her it was 12345 (not really, obvs) and she said "No, it's 12445". Ummmmmmmmm, do you have the zip code for every address in the Pacific Northwest memorized (and if so why are you calling). She then proceeded to tell me "It can't be 1245, that's not enough numbers. Zip codes have 5 numbers". Well, thanks for telling me. I had no clue. I have never sent or received anything in the mail in my life. Nor do I look up things by zip code every. single. day.

I'm just looking

for the perfect Mommy to be to buy this for:



Hmm, Paige- you have a shower coming up soon. Are you and Mikey gangta enough to be wiling to dress your baby in this (oh, and ruin his hopes of ever joining the crips)? ;)

An Interesting Marketing Concept

I'm not 100% sure how old the Survivor show is. I do know that Paige and I watched the one in Australia, which I think was the second one, when we were roommates Junior year. It was that cute Colby whose one luxury item was a Texas flag. Anyway, that means that this Survivor is at least number 9 or 10. I'm not sure how they're still making them since I don't know anybody who watched the last one in . . . well, wherever it was.

This morning while watching the Price is Right, I saw a commercial for the new season of Survivor. We had just shredded (done the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, during which, Zach says "why is she being so mean to me?") so I was too tired to ignore the commercial. Well, I am glad that I was paying attention because I think they may be on to something. We all know they can't do the same thing over and over and expect viewers to keep tuning in.

Then new commercial features lots of jungle-y scenes and tells us that the newest Survivor is in Africa (in some place that starts with a G- apparently I wasn't paying that much attention, oh well), but that isn't the important part. The commercial tells us that this season temptation will be everywhere and the subtitle of the show is "Earth's Last Eden". Hmm, temptation, Eden, CBS needing what the French call that certain I don't know what . . . I've got it! This season of Survivor will be totally naked! Now, I know they won't show it, but they have experience with the blurriness from Richard Hatch's voluntary nakedness in the first season.

So, maybe they won't do it, but they totally should if they want anyone to watch. Think about how awkward it would be to get voted off and have everyone who doesn't like you looking at you while you're naked. Now that's good TV.

Really?

I admit it, I have Olympic fever. It's just so exciting to see all the different competitions and see the athletes get so pumped up. It is one of the times when I am actually proud of my country. So, it follows that I have jumped on the Michael Phelps bandwagon. Not because he is an amazing swimmer and sets world records without even really trying, but mostly because well, did you see him screaming after they won the 4x400 relay? That guy has some spirit.

So, of course, I really want him to get 8 gold medals and set a record. And after reading this, I want him to do it even more. Uh yeah, mark Spitz, I don't feel bad that the IOC didn't invite you, I just think you look like a Bilbo Douchebaggins. Novel concept here: if you wanted to go to the Olympics, then why didn't you just go? Stop being such a big baby. You just wanted a free ride to see fireworks and be on TV. The reason that you weren't invited can be found at the website www.nobodycaresaboutyouanymore.com. Say it with me: "It's not all about you." You are old, washed up and a bad sport. You don't see Mary Lou Retton bitching about "not being invited". It's not a bat mitzvah, it's a sporting event. If you want to attend, there are these things called tickets that you can purchase. You know, since you're famous and all (insert insane laughter here), you should be able to afford them.
