one-eyed don

I feel it necessary to support my friend and former 48-hour film co-hort, Byron Brown, in his latest youtube endeavor.  I don’t know if I’ll have a job tomorrow after watching this at work, but what a way to go!

Hex The Six-Legged Cat.  Follow that link if you like reading the word “hex” excessively.  Bonus:  7 1/2 minute video of deformed adorableness!

Ok, maybe this is better?

I almost forgot about this lil gem sent to me by Michael.  Normally, this would have just been a headline to post, but the entire article is a classic. You’d think they have more important things to worry about in Africa like genocide and famine, but no — pretty much this is the worst and BEST reason for bloodshed.

best thing you’ll read today

Chick-Fil-A.  Mmmmm.  So warm.  So succulent.  So chickeny.  When I’m not neglecting my blog, I’m probably eating some form of chickeny goodness from this Southern fast food staple.  That being said, this article from wsbradio.com has little to do with the actual eatery and way more to do with founder Truett Cathey’s grandson being fucking IN-SANE!  Here’s a brief, concise glimpse of what’s in store for you as a reader of this wonderful piece:

“The grandson of Chick-Fil-A founder Truett Cathy is undergoing a mental evaluation after locking himself in the bathroom of a Waffle House. “

It’s almost as a good as the #5 8-pack with Polynesian Sauce.  Bon Appetite!

i love a good myth bustin’

No, I’m not referring to the popular Discovery Channel show, Mythbusters (though, I do love it so…), but rather I’ve found yet another interesting article debunking health myths.  I think it’s maybe because I’m prone to sleepless nights worrying about moles and breast lumps and HIV that I’m in no way really in danger of contracting that attracts me to anything that gives me piece of mind in the realms of healthcare.  I think that there is so much fear-mongering in America surrounding the medical and pharmaceutical communities that it’s refreshing when a publication has the balls to debunk some of these more commonly held beliefs.  Top Medical Myths from Times Online

The New Baby Camel in Helsinki.  That sounds like a really shitty indie band.  It is rather remarkable that it’s the first baby camel born at the Helsinki Zoo in 37 years.  That’s Teri Hatcher!  Or is she 57?  In Yo Face, Teri Hatcher!  I know that much…

bible stories may not be completely literal? uh-wha?

There are many things I enjoy about this article from ABC News.  The first being that it covers the meeting of science and religion — something I’m very interested in.  The second being that the Headline: 

Scientists Explain Red Sea Parting and Other Miracles

is immediately followed by the sub-header:

Scientists Try to Explain Red Sea Parting and Other Miracles

Now, was that necessary — oh wait, yes — the third thing I love about this article is that it was written by someone named “Amanda Onion”.  Anywho, it’s a somewhat fascinating read and those other elements only enhance my initial interest in the subject matter.   

rock of like

I’m not a huge reality television buff by any means, but it is abundant.  Therefore, I can’t fault myself too much for falling head over heels for the VH1 juggernaut that is Rock of Love. I’m a little upset that it’s finally over, honestly.  I was an avid viewer in season one.  I rooted for Jess, but couldn’t deny the charms of Heather and Rodeo.  I also, just as passionately, hoped someone would maybe murder Lacey.  Alas, Brett did not find his “Rock of Love” and decided to let VH1 take the reigns of his personal life yet again!  I didn’t think it could possibly be better the second go ’round, but I’m tempted to report that it was.  The formula was unchanged:  20 Trashy yet totally engaging women vye for the adoration of Poison frontman Brett Michaels.  Yes, please! 

This season, we met Daisy: a pint-sized stripper with a closet-o-skeletons (and a tattoo featuring Jack Skellington…) and a speech pattern that makes me think she was perhaps at one time in rehabilitation after a major accident.  There was Kristy Joe, the beautiful eyebrow-less trainwreck who was still married whilst on the show and target number one for constant, bitchy abuse from her housemates.  There was Peyton, the “rocker” who desperately needed a chemical peel and some hormone replacement therapy…*sigh*…I can’t believe it’s over.

Long story short — I just read this follow up interview with Brett regarding the show.  I think that, perhaps, my favorite reason for watching is that, surprisingly, Brett Michaels is completely endearing.  Neither season ever suffered from predictable “plots” or forced drama.  At elimination time, I was always genuinely surprised.  Ok, I’m done.  I can’t believe I just wrote about …eh…I give up…MUFUCKIN’ POISON, BRA!

African Pygmy Hedgehog. Apparently, according to The Daily Mail, you can keep this lil bub like a hamster.  I don’t care what you can do with it as long as it continues to stay that cute — I will forever do its bidding!  I am yours to control, O Tiny Beast!!!
