“That would be Ott-iss”

It’s always nice to find out that people who you don’t think of as funny have a good sense of humor. Here, Tobey Maguire played a trick on his wife, Jennifer Meyer, two weeks after the birth of their son, Otis, whom they hadn’t named immediately, and who needed a birth certificate. He spelled it correctly on the real birth certificate, and then brought an extra home with the baby’s name spelled as “Oatis.”

Awesomeness ensued.

I vote, “Aye”

I’m still bummed that the New York State Senate voted on Wednesday not to permit gay marriage in the state (although New York still recognizes as spouses gay couples who marry in one of the states where it is legal), but it’s still worth watching state senator Diane Savino’s floor speech. I really don’t understand how anybody could listen to that and still be against gay marriage.

Forget the cowbell, how about more Taylor Lautner?

This LOLcats rendition of New Moon is pretty entertaining, and surpasses the original in every sense except one: it lacks any hint of Taylor Lautner shirtless pics. If the author could just go back and put some in, it would be perfect!

Here’s my contribution:

Let's pretend he wasn't born in 1992.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot???

Protip: When a country deports you, they generally mean for you to stay out. Forever.

Say that you were convicted of smuggling drugs in Thailand and sentenced to death. And suppose that sentence was the changed to 25 years in prison. And what if, four and a half years after you got to prison, you were pardoned by Thailand’s king and sent back home to the UK, where you were from? To recap: what if you’d been sentenced to death and then imprisoned in a country, and were later kicked out of it, never to return?

Would you then go back to “tie up some loose ends?” You are probably not a moron, so I’m guessing your answer would be “No.”

Why is James Lipton so awesome???

How does he strike the right note to make these PSAs work both as straightforward “don’t be stupid” advice to teens, and subtle self-mockery? I don’t understand!! Anyway, the PSAs are amazing. The next time I’m tempted to text a photo of my junk to somebody, I will remember this and think again.

Bygones!

I got a little too relaxed over the Thanksgiving holiday, and therefore haven’t updated this with the awesomeness that was promised. I shall postpone it for now, since it requires scanning and such, but I promise to do better about posting.

Meh

I suppose I should post something happy in honor of Thanksgiving, but whatever. This story is awful, which makes sense, because teenagers suck. Later today or tomorrow I’ll post some pictures that are so cute that you brain will explode.

Shhhhh

When I’m bored or out of sorts, I like to pop over to Post Secret or SecretTweet and see what kinds of things the people on the internet are sharing anonymously. Sometimes I’m at a loss as to why something has to be posted anonymously, but often I’m like, “Whoa.”

People surprise me every single day.

Dead Schmed

I love the way French people think. What other nation could give us posthumous weddings? I wonder: does she immediately get to call herself a widow, or is there some sort of waiting period?

You could knock me over with a feather

Holy crap, y’all! Tim Gunn was Irina’s teacher when she was at Parsons!!! How did I not know this? I know that I haven’t paid a TON of attention to the (later) episodes of this season, but I’m fairly certain that this wasn’t mentioned. I have to say that he did a good job of never looking like he was favoring her, nor of treating her any more severely than the other contestants. I also love that Tim had absolutely no problem naming names regarding contestants who he did find obnoxious: Cat-throwing Kenley, Victoria, and Vincent. I still don’t find this season to be as compelling as previous ones, but I am interested to see who wins this Thursday. The smart money is on Irina or Althea, but I hope that Carol Hannah wins. She’s nice, not insane, and would have adorably spacey babies with Logan.
