Charging People by the Pound

legacy/obese person.

Are obese people the new minority to discriminate against? We have PC words for just about every other minority, but "fattie" or "fat-ass" seems to be the most common expression for those who are a little larger than your average bear. Definitely not PC, and definitely inappropriate in my opinion as well. Ryanair, England's low-cost air-carrier that has super-cheap flights is seriously considering  instituting a "fat tax" for obese passengers based on popular demand.

Recessionary Perspectives

Ten years ago, if your Grandmother had given you the choice of three presents: a mini-pack of ten packages of plain m & m's, a mini-pack of Trident Gum, or ten shares of General Motors, you might very well have gone for the stock, right? And, today, if you somehow happened to be on everybody's favorite daytime Game Show "The Price is Right", how much would you bid on the items above? Knowing full and well that that GM is not doing so well, will not necessarily guarantee that you bid correctly.

Shirley Phelps - The Most Hated Woman in America.

legacy/shirley.jpg

Well. After scouring the internet for something fun I managed to stumble upon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSFrNOnvtls

The Most Hated Family in America.

The Most Hated Family in America is a TV documentary by the BBC's Louis Theroux about the crazy "GOD HATES FAGS" family behind the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS.

This film is so shocking. There are young children being indoctrinated into a church whose whole idea of religion is the hatred of gays (as well as Roman Catholics, Muslims, Jews, Sweden, Ireland, Canada, The Netherlands, and other groups). These are also the same people who picket funerals for fallen soldiers as a means of expressing their concern over Americas love for the gays and sodomy.

The Seattle Eagle - give it a chance peeps!

Okay. I get it. Most people are not turned on to the idea of bears and leather and hanky codes BUT this place is fantastic!

The drinks are so strong that I think they literally put hair on your chest. Everyone here has a hairy chest so I just assume. I guess thats not really fair to say. I haven't been able to find a more diverse group of individuals joining together under one small roof. From the early twenty somethings huddled together in the corner  to the older "hardcore" bears this place is a nice mix of our little community. There's even a few ladies now and again. Real ones well... ones born a lady.

"Hot for Teacher," Mrs. Zeo

legacy/koo koo kachoo.

Koo Koo Kachooo, Mrs. Zeo.

This story is too good to be true. A Christian singer (can we say Schadenfreude here?), a Math teacher, a married woman and a mom of 3 has apparently just been busted for having sex with one of her 17-year-old students. It's difficult for me to find my absolute favorite thing in this story, but I'll try. It could be the Christian singer thing (her "hit single" was "Musical Math") or maybe it's the fact that the whole affair was started on Facebook. (Why I've never been be-friended by hot 17-year-olds still remains a personal mystery to me.) Not only was the sordid affair started on Facebook, Facebook was the primary method of communication used to plan future sexual acts together.

Should God have a Twitter account?

God is everywhere, and specifically, he's/she's on the web. From a website that allows you to generate your own church signs, to a prayer based twitter service, God is definitely out there in full force.

I think the next step is for the Catholic Church to host online confessions. Link up your webcam to Father John in the cofessional and confess away. It's like sitting in the cofessional with the shade pulled, but almost a little more impersonal.

...Well wouldn't you know! After a little bit of searching, I did find an online confessional. Needless to say, it is definitely not as good idea as video chat confession, but I think they're on the right track.

I'm very tempted right now to start a twitter account as "GOD" and reply to some of these prayers people are praying. Kind of Jim Carrey like in Bruce Almighty... you could practically turn it in to a full time job!

Text God?

legacy/godtext.jpg

I guess this is a little misleading because you cant "text" God using an ACTUAL phone. You can, however, send him one of 4 thoughtful messages from a website I stumbled across.

These messages include:

 

Why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?



Will You forgive all of my sins?



What should I do with my life?



What do You want from me?

 

Girls Will Be Girls...

legacy/gwbg_0.jpg

Okay, so I understand this movie is a few years old - Sue me (speak to my lawyer first) - BUT it is totally worth a shout out.

I have recently become reaquainted with the movie and it is still SO GOOD.

From Vodka swilling, washed up actress Evie Harris to lonely, homely, spinster Coco and overeating, up-and-coming Varla - this movie's really got it all!

I cant tell you how much I can relate with the characters. Actually I guess I can... and personally not very well. However, they are all so over the top and on a mission of laughter that I just can't say enough good things. This movie is pee-yourself-a-little FUNNY!

Second Life Sex Play aka "Age Play"

legacy/kid second life_1.

The virtual world of Second Life is getting weirder. When my friend first showed me Second Life, I thought most of the avatars were a bit of a snooze, but was impressed in a strange sort of way when his “character” got virtually humped by a woman with breasts the size of China as an advertisement for a sex shop. We both lamented the fact that our real life sex lives weren’t as exciting and forgot the incident. 

Since that time, some bizarre news has come out of Second Life: second-life millionaires, Second-Life couples, and the resultant divorces. None of which are particularly disturbing at all, just matters of interest. Second Life, though, is now going a bit too far- one virtual rape has been reported, which I don’t quite understand, and now, there are  believed to be “fake kids” having sex with” fake adults”. Normally this would be termed pedophilia, but in the world of Second Life, which is only open to adults, it is called "age play".

Coming Soon - Nightmare on Elm Street Remake (2010) Announces Newest Cast Members

legacy/rogersscary_0.JPG

Rooney Mara as Nancy
Kyle Gallner as Quentin
Thomas Dekker as Jesse
Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger
Kellan Lutz as Dean

I am so excited for this movie to come out - I can barely contain myself! Like most people who didnt get much out of the 90's, or the early 00's, I am still living the dream in the 80's! What is more 80's than Freddy Krueger? Well besides the obvious ...

I know that this remake will probably be a total mockery of the original, but a boy can have some hope can't he?

If anyone gets any more breaking NMoES10 news please pass it along! I cant sleep without knowing whats next!

Oh yeah and it's too bad Mister Rogers is dead, otherwise I would be EVEN MORE EXCITED that 2 of my favorite childhood terrors teamed up. I would Never Sleep Again.

 

Bill Der Beaver (Zoobilee Zoo) found - living life as Miley Cyrus! Transformation wig to blame.

legacy/mileybill.JPG

After some thorough online investigating (mostly google, and wikipedia) I was able to uncover one of the biggest secrets to hit Hollywood since the celery and ice diet.

I have waited for this moment since about 1987 when Zoobilee Zoo first went off the air. Heartbroken and alone I vowed I would find out what happened to my favorite childhood character - Bill Der Beaver. He has been living in secret as pop sensation Miley Cyrus. All Bill needed to do to conceal his secret identity was simply wear a wig and pretend to be the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus (former country music, Beaveresque, has been).

Apparently after the show ended Bill Der Beaver went on a "Where Are They Now" alcohol bender, built a beaver dam out of empty of Jim Beam whisky bottles (outside of Volunteer Park, Seattle, WA), and tried to kill himself. Afterall, he was a beaver living in a mans world who would take him seriously?

Sarah Silverman - America's Sweetheart...

legacy/sarahsilverman.jpg

She's got the brains and the brawn. This woman is by far one of the most hilariously inappropriate people to hit the stage in some years. She touches on subjects from A.I.D.S to zealots with ease (and no remorse) and convinces you that her backwards "Jewish American Princess" character is her true persona.

I first fell in LOVE with Sarah Silverman after seeing her roll-on-the-floor funny show Jesus Is Magic where at moments you could feel the tension in the audience form her off-the-cuff racist remarks and feigned biggotry. She has since moved on to having a very sucessful Comedy Central show "The Sarah Silverman Program" - where she still plays the part, but without a lot of the racist undertones. And FYI - I'm not a racist, so thats not what I love about her per se.

Ghosting - a pay it forward approach.

legacy/ghost.jpg

The word "Ghost" can bring up images of cheesy movies (see picture), Ouija boards, Robert Stack, and Halloween.

In recent times this word has taken on a whole new meaning.

Notably the activity of "Ghosting". Ghosting is when you leave treats, presents, notes, and anything else you can think of for your friends, neighbors, and family. The name "Ghosting" derives from leaving these items anonymously.
