Steampunk Wedding Cake

The only thing that could make this more hilarious would be if it was vegan cake.

Twlight Parties

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 comes out today, and what could be sadder than looking at a bunch of sad, sad Twilight parties?

Most Passive-Aggressive Hookah Offering

Oh.... did you want to try this?  I thought that CyberGlenn and I were going to be the only ones using the hookah tonight, so I didn't put that much of this apple-flavored tobacco in.  But you can have some.  You totally should.

Fellas: Take Your Pick

Edward Boonsfarmhands

I'm starting to realize that almost everything in life does really follow that horrible axiom that every soccer coach, camp counselor, Hebrew school instructor, and whatever other adults you had surrounding your retarded middle class upbringing told you ad nasuem: "you get out of it what you put in." Turns out this is true for your job, your relationship, friendships, your personal appearance, sexual technique, the gym, vacations, everything. Which really fucking sucks because I HATE putting things in (that's what I said). Seriously. I hate hard work, which his why I never spellcheck or proofread this blog, as you may have noticed.

Point is: never underestimate the power of a can-do attitude. Look at this girl - she's got mild to moderate acne, horrible taste in clothes and music, and what appears to be a crippling addiction to white flour and refined sugar. But when someone at the party suggests doing a version of "Edward 40-hands" with Boons Farm bottles, shesays "SURE." She's the life of the party. She's not going to show up and mope around because her deodorant is showing, she's committed to having a great time.

She's putting more in, and she's getting more out.  Let's all learn from her.

Thanks to Amanda for this photo.

Birds of a Feather

Ever notice how people kind of look like their friends?

True Canadian Taste

Yeah, I was pretty surprised too when I saw he was drinking a Molson.


Thanks to Jeff for this photo, which he stole from his friend's Facebook page.

Amish Dads Are Right

This Amish guy's dad was amazingly accurate when he warned him that when his son went out into the normal world to see what it was like, he'd be surrounded by people who planned on corrupting him.

In Hybrid Moments

You guys wanna hear a story about the time I met Jerry Only from The Misfits?  I must preface this with a brief explanation:  I used to be really into professional wrestling.  Like, really really into it.  Like, I actually went to WrestleMania.  I am not talking about when I was 8.  I'm talking post-virginity.  I used to carry around in my wallet a trading card of The Rock and a  black and white photo of Shawn Michaels I clipped out of a wrestling magazine.  I read wrestling gossip sites every day (this was in pre-blog times).  I bought wrestling magazines.  I owned wrestling t-shirts.  I made my own t-shirts.  I went to shitty local pro wrestling events with about 30 people in the audience at the Somerville, MA version of Dave & Busters. 

I bought pay-per-view events.

So a friend and I bought tickets to see The Misfits play at Roseland.  When we showed up, there was a sign taped to the door that the show was canceled.  Since we were in midtown on a Thursday evening, I suggested we go to the WWF restaurant (now the Hard Rock Cafe).  When we arrived, guess who's there:  Jerry Only, in full Misfits makeup and outfit.

At this time, there was a wrestler in WCW, Vampiro, whom Jerry had been acting as the manger/valet for.  Vampiro's schtick was basically "Misfits fan" (wrestling fans may notice this was a copycat of Sting's post-neon Crow look).  Around this exact moment, several wrestlers from WCW ("The Radicalz") were about to switch over to WWF (I knew because I obsessively read wrestling gossip websites).

I don't think I've ever actually gone up and talked to a famous person, and I'm only an average Misfits fan, but the thing here was that I was a HUGE wrestling fan.  Seeing someone affiliated with WCW at the WWF restaurant was like the hugest scoop ever, and I had to find out.  So I summoned my courage to go over to him, and we talked about Eric Bishoff, the state of WCW, and wrestling for a half hour or so.

Ok, I get it.  it's not like I met Glen Danzig, Jerry Only sucks, yeah yeah yeah.  That's what a Misfits fan would say.  But a wrestling fan?  This was a huge deal.

My New Attitude About New Rock Boots

When you're stone cold sober, goths ladies in New Rock boots are easy to make fun of.  But when you're 8 beer deep at a free outdoor radio station concert, she's a cool girl who is down to party and laughs at your jokes and shares her beer.

So you're at a crossroads.

Either take your dignity and sense of coolness, or submit to the darkness inside you that's willing to love a loser.

Follow your head or follow your heart.

TDOIF!!!! (Thank the Dark Overlord It's Friday!)

Amazing, this evening was also caught on video:

Friendship Is the New Black!

If by black, you're referring to the hue of my soul, not the color of the garments I drape over my mortal shell.
