Good Cop, Bad Cop
This morning I was perusing Fox News for…well, news, having heard that the two American hikers in Iran had been given 8-year sentences (why the hell haven’t we bombed this country to hell, where they want to go??), Syria has effectively told Obama that Assad is staying, so fuck off, (another country deserving of many daisies--as in daisy cutters), and Egypt is removing its ambassador from Israel. Things are coming to a head over in that sand pit. That said, something else in the site caught my eye:
Who Played the Toughest Cop?
Hm…..
I admit, I do like to watch a good cop movie, and by that, I mean a good movie about cops. Most everyone does. There is something about a good guy catching the bad guy. And when the cop is bad, you really want him to get caught and face justice, because he should know better than anyone, right?
Anyway, the list had eleven actors who portrayed police officers in film. And of course, the best cop ever was included:
But egregiously, this was NOT included:
What…The…HELL??? They include those pissants Colin Farrell and Benicio Del Toro, and even add Jake Gyllenhaal in a role that isn’t even freakin’ finished yet, but skip John “Yippee Kah Yay, Motherfucker” McClain??
What kind of a commie bastard does that?? Fucking morons, that’s who.
I may need to break my diet for this….
Booze of the Year
Only the coolest thing since chocolate-covered cherries!
They’ve sold millions of albums as one of the greatest all-time bands and now AC/DC hope to do a similar trade in wine.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have teamed up with Australian winery Warburn Estate for a national release of AC/DC The Wine.
(Insert “ZOMG!!!” here)

There will be four wines issued: Back in Black Shiraz, Highway to Hell Cabernet Sauvignon, Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc, and my favorite, You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato. The first issue will be solely in Australia come August 18th. I can only hope they launch them here in the US.
The only thing that would make this even more perfect would be to have a Whole Lotta Rosie Rosé.
This Is Only a Test
Well, it’s only a little quiz, really. And completely harmless and fun.You can’t fail, no one is here to grade you, and I was told there would be no math.
It’s the World’s Smallest Political Quiz.
Here are my results for 2011:
The last time I took this little quiz, it was 2007, and I was right above the letter “R” in “Right”. Quite a difference, n’est pas??
The times, they are a’changin’

52 Pick Up
“If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me??”
Ah yes, the mating call at a bar: the pick-up line. My sister told me men used that line on her more than any other. It was funny the way guys would try to pick her up. I remember one time we went out on a sister’s night out, sans hubbies, and a guy coming up to her and saying seriously, “You look so damn sweet, it’s giving me a toothache.” She looked at me with this exasperated look, and I told the guy, “Oh, well consider me the Novocaine, buddy.” Needless to say, he left well alone 
So, what are some of the best and worst pick up lines you’ve ever heard, or used??
ZOMG!!!1111ELEVENTY!!!!
Today I cleaned the bathrooms, no easy task, and had to wade (yes, wade) into son’s room to ferret out his laundry. It was a regular day, full of the crap moms do and full of the crap that needs to be done. Gah, truth be known I am still cleaning up. But I went to check the mail today, thinking, “Shit, the HEB circular better have ground beef on sale,” when I found a small package. At first, I thought I had ordered yet another bauble from QVC, but no…. wrong packaging. So, I went home, and opened it and ZOMG!!!!
A late Christmas gift from my boss, ArmedGeek!!! IS THIS NOT THE AWESOMEST MUG EVAH??? And before y’all think you can swipe it so you can get serious geek cred, think again. It was personalized:
And don’t worry. I sent him booze for Christmas but I couldn’t find a hooker to mail
Challenge of the Friar
Once again, a gauntlet has been thrown. The Curtal Friar posted a challenge to other bloggers, mainly to post pics of ourselves as teenagers. Lucky for me Sadly, I have no pics of me as a teenager uploaded. My sister, being the kind and generous soul that she is, had one of me at the tender age of ten at her Facebook page, which she insisted I use.
Don’t bother clicking on it, since it will not embiggenify. Thank goodness. I was not a very feminine looking girl, since I tend to favor my dad, who is a handsome man, but still a man. I briefly toyed with the idea of posting a current pic of me, but I have no idea how to do the bar-over-the-eyes thing. I can argue the finer points of the fall of the Roman Empire, but technologically, I am a n00b.
Update:
Like Coffee, Only Different
Each of us has a habit every morning of doing something to wake us up, be it coffee or tea, or beer and pr0n. I have my habits, too. In between being a mom/ referee/ taxidriver, I peruse my favorite blogs and websites. One of which, Aardvarks and Asshats, is riding off into the sunset. My heart wept when I found out, for Steamboat McGoo is the undisputed Champion of Snark and Snoochery. He will be sorely missed, and I for one, wish him well, great health, and longevity.
Usually I start alphabetically through the blogroll. A comment here, a comment there, and next thing you know, I’m on my second cup of coffee. But one website I love to peruse every day is The Pioneer Woman. It’s a fun read about the travails of a rancher’s wife, and she has the most awesome recipes, too.
ZOMG!!!! Heaven on a plate!!!
What are y’all’s favorite cyberhaunts? Just pick one, or else get stuck in Askimet hell. And if a link is NSFW, make sure to label it as such!!
Babes in Toyland
I have a confession to make: I *heart* Legos. Like all parents, I remember cursing under my breath when I inadvertently found a piece with the balls of my feet. But quick on that curse was the thought, “Hm, wonder what it goes to?” which was always followed by a trip to the Lego box to find the rest of the pieces. When the kids were little, it was easy enough, but as they got older, we got more sets to build and destroy. Pretty soon, we had a trunkful of the little shards. But even though the kids don’t play with them much anymore, I still do. Last spring I had the opportunity to go to a Lego Store. I was like a kid at Christmas. Hubby left me to roam around the itty bitty store (seriously, it’s the size of my living area and kitchen put together) for over an hour, and I still wasn’t done. I regret not purchasing the model they had of Fallingwater. The Taj Mahal was way out of my price range, at $300, but it was AWESOME!!!
Frank Lloyd Wright translated into Legos. WANT LIKE BURNING!!!!
I’m glad my love of Legos has not dissipated with semi-adulthood. And I am sure that most of you still manage to transmogrify into children when it comes to a favorite toy or game. What are your favorites to this day? And yes, videogames count
The Internet Is For Porn!
Yes, this is old. For some of us this is something we’ve probably not seen in a while, for others maybe its brand new.
Your Mama!!
My son was walking home one day, when he was accosted by one of his school’s better known bullies and his thugs-in-training. I have taught my son restraint, and Hubby has taught him a right cross. Between the two of us, we have managed to train him pretty well. Anyway, the bully believed my son had committed some slight against him. Shocking, I know. So, the bully begins to threaten my son verbally, calling him names and insinuating my son was a weakling. Calmly, my son replied, “Wow…threats. From a person with the vocabulary of a cabbage…”. I have to admit, not only did that work, but it was damn funny.
What are y’all’s favorite cut-downs? Admittedly, Eddie the Bear is the undisputed King of the Cut-down, but I’m sure we can come up with some doozies in that department
