Leftovers

These are all the things that have brought me some sort of amusement in the past couple of weeks.

Somebodies somewhere searched for these and somehow wound up here:

wordpress-search

I don’t believe that I have ever written about hot dogs, or hot dog shaped words. But they are delicious.

wordpress-search2

Okay, so I wrote about penises once. I wonder if the hot dog/penis searches were related?

I love coincidences, and with people’s Twitter posts right next to each other and Facebook following suit, sometimes related statuses end up next to each other [I believe both pairs were strangers to one another].

twitter-updates

HAHAHA. I must say, I more often empathize with the bottom person.

What was everybody waiting for?

I get these emails from About.com, most of which I don’t read [I really hate the layout of that website], but this caught my attention [I don’t have a good photo-editing tool, so please excuse my crude arrow]:

pron-misspelling

Heh heh, please excuse my immaturity. I’m sure this misspelling was accidental [every season is pr0n season, is it not?].

David Crowder of the awesome David Crowder Band referenced auto-tune in a recent blog entry, although he mistakenly accused T.I. of using the program. I brought this to his attention, and he actually responded! Seems like a cheap thrill, but I was delighted to have my existence acknowledged by a relatively famous [and super-talented] person:

xanga-dcb

I was also very excited to see that, in the episode of Gossip Girl from March 30th, the Humphrey family plays Sequence! I love that game!

Also in that episode, I noticed that the shoes that Jenny wore at her party looked extremely similar to a pair that I bought recently:

Mine:

delicious-joel-red

I doubt that they’re exactly the same, though. But I was excited for the minute that I thought they were. [Also: that dress looked much better on the hanger than it did on Jenny. I would say it’s shapeless, but it’s a triangle, so it indeed has a shape. It just was not as flattering as I thought it would be. Love the shoes though!]

Who’s Got Talent?

First impressions don’t usually carry anything substantial about the person being judged. I’ve never watched an episode of Britain’s Got Talent, but I’m not sure why they still react so cynically when presented with a person who perhaps does not already look like a superstar — a while ago I wrote about Paul Potts, who also appeared on the show. Outwardly he was unimpressive, but he had the voice of a well-trained opera singer.

More recently, Simon Cowell & co. were faced with Susan Boyle, an unassuming 47-year-old lady whose dream is to become a professional singer [I love how they spliced in clips of audience members rolling their eyes]:

I’m not sure how the show works, and what exactly she wins, but I’m very happy for her. Hopefully this success will allow her to find some work…

BustedTees is doing pretty well these days; I like all of the shirts featured in this week’s email [the descriptions, which I have included, are amusing as well]:

If you like ice cream enough this counts as a grammatically correct sentence.
[I say YES.]

This explains why Swiss Army knives are the smallest knives on earth.

Intercourse: the final frontier.

Out Of Nowhere

???

I usually delete emails I get from BustedTees after skimming them, but this one caught my eye. A shirt that references Aurora IL?? That’s not easy to find.
