Geeks are a different breed of people

Chat conversation with my friend:

him:  hi

me:  hi hi

him: hi hi hi

me: hi hi hi hi hi

me: that's right, i just went fibonacci on you.

him: hahahahahahahahah

I am my own worst enemy right now

Someone rip my head off and tell me to work harder.

In the meanwhile, I will grace you with this HILARIOUS VIDEO.

I am not joking. This will blow your mind. This kid went to the dentist and had oral surgery, so he's kinda loopy. His dad got it all on tape - and it's awesome.

Best Snack Evar!!!

I haven't blogging much lately (busy busy!) but I thought my dear readers might enjoy this (or not):



EthidiumBromide - any chance this will be at your next Super Bowl Party? :):)

The "Other" PhizzleDizzle

Thanks to Gail, who informed me about Google Alerts, I've discovered who the "other" PhizzleDizzle is. He's a music guy. Check it out. It's pretty crazy how we picked the same nome de plume, but are in completely different areas of interest....I bet he's the one with phizzledizzle@gmail!!

Dreams

Last night, I dreamed that I was washing my hair with beer. Like, I was pouring it out of a bottle, into my hair, lathering, and trying to rinse out the beer with....more beer.

That's all I remember, and I don't understand it, but damn, it was funny.

NANOBAMAS!!!!

Dude, these are awesome.

Euphemisms

I was over at Ambivalent Academic's blog post, who was inspired by Dr. Isis's blog post, and has now inspired this post. See, because of the cornucopia of lady-parts discussions in the blogosphere today, I realized that today, I have used the following words:

• cooter
• vajayjay
• hooha
• twigs and berries

Why do I do that? I'm not a prude like Elliot from that show Scrubs, who can't say anything that she wouldn't say in front of her mother. My personal favorite euphemism of hers is "bajingo," her word for exactly what you might expect. Somehow, it just sounds right.

Anyway, I am not a prude. IRL, I am happy to say any sorts of real words in place of euphemisms.

I suspect that it is because of Candid's recent post about the search terms people got to her site with. I don't want people coming around because they are looking for ways to feed their porn habit. So....I guess I will stick with the euphemisms for now.

Because in all reality, I really do like the word "bajingo." Has a nice ring to it. I happen to like mine, and will never stick thumbtacks into it :).

In Which My Husband is Hilariously Sheltered

The hubster grew up totally sheltered and forced to do things like play his Musical Instrument for hours at a time, kick ass at school, and not watch any TV. Unlike my childhood, which, though sheltered, was not quite so strict.

So basically, he doesn't know anything about pop culture pre-2000 or so.

We are pretty into crossword puzzles, and his lack of knowledge about basic pop culture is a serious handicap to him, and he's always asking me for help on some clues.

Yesterday:

Hubby: "What's 'Lucy's landlady'? I think it starts with an E and ends with an L."

Me: "Ethel. You know, from 'I Love Lucy'."

Hubby: "What is that, a show?"

Me: ".....You've never heard of 'I Love Lucy'??"

Hubby: "I think I'm getting it mixed up with another Lucy. Wasn't there a Lucy in the Jetstones or something?"

Me: ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! "JETSTONES????"

Hubby: "Or maybe....wait, no, there was like a Lucy in that cartoon, right?"

Me: "What cartoon?"

Hubby: "The one with the dog?"

Me: "You mean Snoopy?"

Hubby: "Yeah! Snoopy, that's it."


Seriously, how does a human like my husband even exist? Seriously. I love him. He's so sweet.

Oh, the comedy

I am feeling much less bone-tired right now, oddly because I went for a run. Runs are those things that always do you good, and no matter how much you know it's going to do you good, you are still surprised that after you got your tired, cranky ass out there to do it, you feel better. Go figure.

Anyway, today, I received in the mail....

A CREDIT CARD OFFER FROM WAMU!!!!!!! Apparently I can get a 0% fixed APR until 2010, with a great rewards program with lots of points and a non-trivial credit line! Sign me up! Sounds awesome!

I can't wait to mail it in and see what happens. Riiiiight. Oh, the comedy. I wonder if the Senior VP who signed the letter offering me this great deal even has a job anymore. The comedy is almost too much. I can't take it.

Ivy League Fun

I must admit that I went to an Ivy League University. Despite all that connotes, I enjoyed my time there and I did not meet any fabulously rich people because I was an engineer. All the rich kids were either rebellious Art History majors who smoked a lot of weed or Economics majors and wore pearls and Burberry headbands. I, on the other hand, was in the engineering building. Like, all the time. Rich kids don't become engineers, it's too much work!

Anyway, as a result I read IvyGate, a blog devoted to all things Ivy League with a very tongue-in-cheek attitude. I like it.

This following post led me to discover the hilarious antics of a Dartmouth student group called "DYE" - Dartmouth Yale Enthusiasts, all of whom purportedly applied to Yale and were rejected, and were thus forced to go to Dartmouth - at least until their transfer applications go through. I won't ruin it, but check it out. These kids are seriously funny. There is even a very funny Brown joke involved.

It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa Simpson fails a test because she has become addicted to Bart's video games, and various administrators from Harvard storm into the room and tell her she will now never be admitted into the hallowed halls of Harvard University...but she will still be able to get into 2nd tier Ivys like.....Brown.

Anyhoo, here's a link to the IvyGate post.
