Today's funnies--

Random Vents from today's Atlanta Journal Constitution:

"While alarming, the biggest shock in the missing Veterans Administration data mess is that a government employee actually took work home."

"My dream presidential match-up for 2008: Condi Rice vs. Hillary Clinton. Then, I’d watch the Georgia good ol’ boys gnash their teeth."

I love reading the vent and what actually gets published...... LOL!

"Your church doesn't allow homosexuals or alchohol!"

"I am NOT joining!

Because I can't imagine Heaven without either of them!!"

I was lied to and I didn't even know it!


While we were getting ready for dinner tonight, one of the TWINZ asked me a question.

And I answered him and he immediately said, "How do you know that?"

"I read it in the Newspaper." I replied.

"The newspaper lies!" he said.

I could not believe that I was hearing this. "Why do you think that the newspaper lies?" I asked.

His reply was that his teacher in school told him that newspapers lie. I tried my best to explain that if newspapers were to print nothing but lies that they would not be trusted and no one would buy the papers. I tried to re-educate him and explain that the purpose of the press was to keep aggressive government from taking too much control and I think he may have understood.

Why would a teacher tell him that newspapers LIE? That is the root of this rant...

But wait, I do live amongst the few remaining 33% of Bush supporters and they may have sucked the life out of my nephew.

Do I have a ManCrush stalker??

It seems that I have been accused of slacking on my blog posts.

Has anyone else noticed? Stolie, Spider, Hypoxic, MamaChristy, and LadyDawnelle? Help me here!

I occasionally skip some days posting but rarely more than two days over the weekend or a random day here and there during the week.

If I miss more than that I usually make a blog note about it.

But now I think I have a blog stalker and I know who he is!!

He lives in Connecticut and works in Manhattan and he's coming for a visit next week.

He's Bro-in-Law's best friend Mattie and I think he's been blog stalking me. He spoke to Bro-in-Law the other day and complained that my blog was not being updated regularly. And I went WTF?

And then it dawned on me. I may have not been posting enough eye candy for him. Or that I may have been slacking in telling funny stories about our get togethers lately, (trust me, they were not eventful) and I do not want my regular readers to leave because they are bored.....

I know that you know that I always have fun and live life to the fullest and I think you do too.

So that it why I purposely sat down and wrote the above!

Is this what you were looking for? My blog stalker!!

(Quit lurking and leave me comments dammit!!)

 

War Damn Eagle!!

Taylor Hicks, fellow Auburn Tiger won the show of all shows.

According to 65 million Americans he won over the Kat!

The two American Idol finalists got more votes than for the President of the USA in the last election.

And that it what is truly sad about the current state of our fine country.

Blech!

(I just puked a little in my mouth and I swallowed it!)

 

It's Over Already?

I can't believe we are at the end of the road once again on American Idol.

It seems like only yesterday when we first met the group going to Hollywood. And now it's down to the final tally show tonight.

Yeah, I voted for the Gray-Haired dude and I hope he wins it all.

War Eagle, Taylor Hicks!

Say Goodnight, Gracie!!

Goodbye Will and Jack and Grace and Karen!

You will be missed. I remember when we first met. It was the fall of 1998 and I had no idea that Will was gay based on the NBC promos that were shown that summer. All I knew was that Will and Grace were two roommates who looked like they had lots of fun and got into mischievous situations not unlike me and my ex-roommate Gwynnie!

And then I caught the first episode and I was hooked. I was living in New Jersey all by myself without my close family and without my close friends. Ellen had come out the previous spring and quickly got cancelled.

And you all helped fill the void and gave me comfort. I made sure that Sis and Bro in Law would watch too so that every Tuesday night (yep this was before the big move to must see Thursday) I would call them and we would laugh together at the hysterics of those crazy sidekicks Jack and Karen.

It seems like only yesterday.

Thank goodness for syndication as you will forever live on eventually landing on TVLand or Nick at Nite and hopefully future generations will go, "Remember when 'Will & Grace' was the only gay thing on TV!"

Hopefully!!

Judge strikes down Georgia's gay marriage ban

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's two-year-old ban on same-sex marriage was struck down by a judge on procedural grounds, a ruling that frustrated conservatives and likely sets the stage for further legal wrangling.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Constance C. Russell ruled Tuesday that the measure, overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2004, had violated the state constitution's single-subject rules for ballot questions.

Gay rights activists savored their victory, but said they were on guard for an appeal to the state's highest court and a push from the measure's GOP backers to call a special session of the state's Legislature to revive the issue in time for November's elections.

"Civil unions and marriages are different things and people feel differently about them," she said. "And they need to be able to vote on them separately."

I Love this Woman--

And besides, it looks like she is also a fan of Grey's Anatomy--

From McBeal to McDreamy
By MAUREEN DOWD
May 17, 2006
Op-Ed Columnist

I hope the N.S.A. isn't tapping my phone at The Times, or tracing my calls, or whatever it calls its maniacal military-industrial civil liberties transgressions.

I'm not worried that it'll overhear meaty — or fishy — exchanges with sources at the Bush White House. I don't have any sources at the Bush White House. If I'm talking container problems, it's ice cream, not ports. If I mention Scooter, I'm merely making plans for a Saturday Vespa picnic.

Alas, I fret that Gen. Michael Hayden and Crazy Dick Cheney will not hear anything to make all their illegal snooping and Caine Mutiny-style hunting for leakers worthwhile.

Just consider how my transcript from yesterday morning would read:

Me calling my colleague Julie:
"Hey, the transmission went out on the TV at the hotel last night. Why on earth did Meredith sleep with Dr. McDreamy again?"

Julie hissed: "You witch! I was out and TiVo'd it. Now you ruined it!"

Just a couple of snarky, competitive, ambitious, complex, confused women obsessing about sex — exactly like the ones who have saved ABC after a decade in the gutter.

As the administration has gotten more hypermasculine and martial (when will Dick Cheney order us to change all our clocks to military time?) prime time is getting more feminine and seductive.

One gift W. reported this week was a chain saw from Robert Nardelli, president of Home Depot. But far from W.'s Texas Chain Saw Massacre — a swaggering foreign policy built on blowing off most relationships — ABC was rescued by relationship shows with desperate housewives, hotblooded female hospital interns and down-on-their-luck people weeping over their lavishly remodeled homes.

"Grey's Anatomy" tops the girls' list, the successor to "Mary Tyler Moore," "Murphy Brown," "Ally McBeal" and "Sex and the City."

The series revolves around a young white woman at a Seattle hospital and is written by a young black woman in Los Angeles, Shonda Rhimes. She's the first African-American woman to be the creator and executive producer of a network series in Nielsen's Top 10 — a series she wrote with her adopted infant daughter, Harper, on her lap.

She resisted pressure to make the women nicer, she told Nikki Finke for Elle Magazine. And she told Time that she wanted to write about real women who are "a little snarky" and don't "exist purely in relation to the men in their lives." With the men, she followed Jane Austen's lead and conjured up her fantasy men.

Susan Lyne, the former president of ABC Entertainment who advanced "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives," explained to my colleague Bill Carter for his book "Desperate Networks" that women had been shortchanged by an overdose of "C.S.I." cop shows and wanted more relationship shows with lots of hot horizontal action — shows, Ms. Lyne said, that "women love to talk to their girlfriends about the next day."

Predictably, Ms. Lyne lost her job even before "Grey's Anatomy" went on the air — a victim of backstabbing by male colleagues.

Yesterday, at a preview for advertisers and reporters, the man who replaced her, Stephen McPherson, bragged that his network is now the leader among women 18 to 34.

At its Lincoln Center presentation, ABC, owned by Disney, could not put up enough video of Meredith Grey and Dr. McDreamy staring lustfully at each other or of Dr. McDreamy in a shower with other cute male doctors. (What would Walt think?) It paraded a Chippendales chorus line of tuxedoed leading men, from Patrick Dempsey to the burly heartthrob of "Lost," Jorge Garcia. In a tribute to "Dancing With the Stars," a show women love, Mr. McPherson did a sinuous cha-cha.

He also unleashed a slate of gooey girls' fare, including one whole night of reality shows like "Wife Swap" and "Supernanny." Chick-coms include "Big Day," a comedy that looks like "24" crossed with "Meet the Parents"; "Notes From the Underbelly," about a young married woman's trauma over getting pregnant; "Betty the Ugly," about a young woman with braces, glasses and a unibrow who works at a high-fashion magazine full of mean girls; and "Six Degrees," a soapy show about six attractive strangers who seem destined to become "Friends" with privileges.

Ally McBeal herself is back in a drama, "Brothers and Sisters." Calista Flockhart plays a political commentator whose views are diametrically different than those of her brothers and sister, provoking clashes at family dinners.

Wait a minute! That sounds like my life. I want residuals.

If It's Thursday Night . . .

I must be watching Will & Grace!

It was the next to last episode forever. And it had everything a gay fan could have hoped for:

An homage to "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane", one of my all time favorite movies. Bernadette Peters playing the Bette Davis to Megan Mullaley's Joan Crawford. How scary was it that they made Bernadette look so much like Jane Hudson?

A pregnant Grace deciding to name her new baby George (after Will's dad). But when Will questions this, she goes "No, I was naming it after the Curious Monkey."

And then saying "the president". I cracked up.

Will and Vince kissing after deciding to buy a brownstone in Harlem and live happily ever after.

And oh yeah, Josh Lucas being the object of Jack's affection. Sweet Home Alabama, for sure!!

I can't wait until the two hour series finale next Thursday.

Stay tuned to the same bat channel Boyz and Girlz for next week's report!

Bye Chris!

Dear Chris:

Chris, I am so sorry for not voting for you.

I thought you had what it took to make it to the final two without my votes but I was wrong. And so was America for letting you go and not booting Katherine tonight. She deserved it, you did not.

Of course I have always been voting for Taylor only because I thought he needed my help to get him to the final two with you. I too was wrong and again I am sorry.

Please forgive me!

Your Idol fan,

Tonito Bandito

THE LIVING WILL...

Last night, the significant other and I were sitting in the living roomand I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state,dependant on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that everhappens, just pull the plug."She got up, unplugged the TV and then threw out my beer.... BITCH...


She was in the kitchen doing the boiled eggs for breakfast. He walks in and asks, "What's for breakfast?" She turns to him and says, "You've got to make love to me this very moment".He, thinking it's his lucky day, stands her over the kitchen table andthey have sex.Afterwards he says, "What was that all about?"She says, "The egg timer's broken!"

Brokeback Sherriffs

Some retired deputy sheriffs went to a retreat in the mountains. To save money, they decided to sleep two to a room. No one wanted to room with Daryl because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first deputy slept with Daryl and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man,what happened to you?" He said, "Daryl snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."

The next night it was a different deputy's turn. In the morning, same thing--hair all standing up, eyes all blood-shot. They said,"Man, what happened to you? You look awful!" He said, "Man, that Daryl shakes the roof. I watched him all night."

The third night was Frank's turn. Frank was a big burly ex-football player; a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy tailed. "Good morning," he said. They couldn't believe it! They said, "Man, what happened?" He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Daryl into bed and kissed him good night.

He sat up and watched Me all night."

I have a new Man Crush!


Tried to post his pic, but Blogger was not cooperating! Argh! Yay, it finally let me!

Anyway it is Chris O'Donnell. Nope not the Chris O that played Robin to Clooney's Batman.

It is the Chris O that is currently playing Doc's vet on Grey's Anatomy! He has grown up quite nicely I might add. And yeah the scruff on his face is very sexy. He is now my new McDreamy!

Seriously!
