With cynical commentary!
“You’d never even know we’re drinking toilet water! So refreshing.”

Mmm! You think on that one!
“Sure, I worry about world hunger and AIDS. But of all these problems, I know in my heart that I have to take a stand on dry-cleaning hangers.”

Why can’t we be a nation that accepts wrinkles? On skin or clothes? WHY? But seriously, how random is that. That’s not a question.
“Yes, I understand that you want us to be exclusive, but I’m still seeing my therapist. I don’t want to talk about it. Don’t look at me like that. You’re doing it right now. You think I’m gay, don’t you?”

This is hilarious. I can’t be cynical because it’s already cynical.
“Kate Beckinsale’s cat almost caught fire. Isn’t that like so interesting?”

Based on the look of her huge head on her toothpick neck in that publicity photo, I’m guessing the bitch was so starved she tried to rotisserie the thing.

Not a blog I read. Shocker.
“I feel like we’re really connecting, so can I ask you a hypothetical question? If you shattered your hip Jell-o wrestling at a party on your school property in Jell-o your school cafeteria provided, you’d sue your school, let your friends call you Wet Blanket, and let the administration ban Jell-o wrestling forever too, right?”

Bright, lime-colored future for this genius.

Find non-famous people with the same name. I’m not making this up.
The Harrisonburg paper, Daily News Record reports:
Charlottesville has John Grisham, Sissy Spacek and Dave Matthews. But did you know that Bruce Willis, John Tesh and Heather Mills all live in Harrisonburg?
Yeah, it’s true.
They do have a Tom Sawyer, too.

Besides the lovely complexity of having too much wine this week, we break the story on Pink Paintballs, (hopefully) find a restaurantuer a chef partner, chat with bartenders and break a rumor of a high end steak place. Oh, we also make some rule.
The week in review continues below:

I heard about the story listening to 106.1 the Corner, and I found the full details at WashingtonPost.com:
It started with Thursday’s snowfall, estimated at about three inches near Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke. On his lunch break, Lake Braddock senior Devraj “Dave” S. Kori, 17, used a listed home phone number to call Dean Tistadt, chief operating officer for the county system, to ask why he had not closed the schools. Kori left his name and phone number and got a message later in the day from Tistadt’s wife.
“How dare you call us at home! If you have a problem with going to school, you do not call somebody’s house and complain about it,” Candy Tistadt’s minute-long message began. At one point, she uttered the phrase “snotty-nosed little brats,” and near the end, she said, “Get over it, kid, and go to school!”

You can listen to the voicemail message Candy left for Dave online, but the videos at the WP hyperlinks have been removed. Try this blog instead.
I think I’m taking the kid’s side on this one. Someone, get that woman a cup of coffee and some chicken soup for the soul.

I think I’ve established how much I enjoy hump day posts. Today’s theme: food and airplanes.

“I’m sorry, but I shouldn’t be on this date with you. I’ve just completed a really empowering singles cooking class, and I’m finally ready to stop going out to eat with people and cook for one. Plus, we totally made fun of the couples class.”

“I didn’t have any problem with the wiretapping or Gitmo. But it really ticks me off that I’m being lied to about my iPod’s interference with airplane electrical equipment at take-off and landing.”

As typical for a cVillain week, things got rather spicy. Last week was about banning things (trans fat, bumper nuts and bags) before Armageddon hit. Between our new mascot and the discussion about platonic boy/girl friendships, it was one of our most diverse weeks yet.

LUCID.
Makes for a fun night. Here’s what I remember about it:
124 proof
Light chartreuse color
1.5 ounces feels like 2 vodka-sodas with an X Lounge pour
Celebrities mix it with Red Bull
Drop an ice cube in it and it turns cloudy and translucent
124 proof
Light chartreuse color
124 proof
124 proof
This stuff is pretty!
124 proof?
You’re so funny! Let’s play with your computer!
Should we watch 2G1C?
That’s for S and E. Awesome.
