OOPS, You Made a YouTube Tribute Video
ROCK!
Also, someone made this:
Wait, what? That was 37 seconds long and containted the worst quality pictures that I have ever seen anywhere. Jeffrey Donovan fans, can't you do better than this?
But wait! I also found this touching Burn Notice tribute video which I think is infinitely better (it is much, much worse):
OOPS, Internet.

You Tell Me, Google Blog
I don't know, Google. You tell me. My YouTube video contains:
-graphic nudity
-tight electric denim pants
-low-rider bicycles
-tiny, tiny puppies wearing tiny, tiny hats
-gun and knife violence
-Scott Speedman, of Felicity and Underworld fame
-hot air balloons
-popping and/or locking
-a manualist
-kittens falling asleep
-a small montage tribute to Jeffrey Donovan of Burn Notice
It doesn't take someone with a Ph.D. in Fierceness Science to tell me that my YouTube video is a WIN. Are you sorry you asked, Google? You should be. Shame on you.
Ladies and gentleman, Scott Speedman:

I'm Gonna Blog Your Mind With All Of This Fashion
Blog Assignment # 1 - RESPONSE
IVAN AND GRETA - A CAT TRAGEDY
Ivan was no stranger to sadness. He was used to daily meals of melancholy for lunch and heartbreak for dinner. As he sat on the couch, the remote control in one paw and his cat parts in the other, he stared blankly at the television screen. Dancing with the Stars was on, but he didn’t see Joey Lawrence get a perfect score from all three judges. She was all that he could think about. The beer sitting next to him had provided little comfort. What was the point in living if she wasn’t with him?
Ivan reminisced about the bar in Havana (cats are allowed to go there) where he first met her. It was summertime. He was lazily sipping on a Gin and Tuna when he glanced up and their eyes met. She quickly downed her Catniptini and sauntered over to him. Her name was Greta and she was the most beautiful cat hooker that Ivan had ever laid eyes on. Ivan and Greta spent the whole summer together making sweet cat love and doing other things that I’m sure there are to do in Cuba(?). As winter drew closer, Ivan became more and more anxious. It was time for him to get back to Alaska. Snow machine racing season was starting soon and as the defending world champion, he needed to be there. How could he convince her to leave the beautiful tropical setting and relocate to the harsh cold of the Alaskan wilderness? Even though you can see Russia from some parts of Alaska, he knew this would not be enough to convince her.
He nervously asked her if she would go with him, and to his amazement, she agreed! They made the trip to Alaska and had settled into a new routine of sitting by the fire and hunting endangered wolves by plane when tragedy struck. One day when Ivan was out snow machine racing, he received a news alert on his T-Mobile Sidekick iD that an astroid was headed straight for Alaska! In fact, it was headed straight for the log cabin that he and Greta shared! It was going to impact in minutes! He tried to dial Greta's phone number as fast as he could, but because he didn't have opposable thumbs, things were difficult. By the time he was able to call her, it was too late. The asteroid had destroyed the trailer and Greta was gone forever.
Ivan snapped out of it just in time to see Kristy Yamaguchi do the splits at the end of her routine to Ricky Martin's "Shake Your Bon Bon". Ivan decided it was time for another beer.
THE END.

Blog Assignment #1
1. Look at this picture of a cat and a beer bottle
2. Describe the events that led up to that picture being taken(?)
My dad did not stand for that shit, and subsequently wrote nothing, because that's what The Man wants. Randi and I, however, were inspired - inspired to write the first blog assignment. I am also a teacher, so that means I know A LOT about school. And in school, we teachers give assignments, because that is how people learn facts and factoids and information. Or something. I never went to a class about this teaching shit.
So, Randi, please:
1. Look at this picture of a cat and a beer bottle
2. Describe the events that led up to that picture being taken
My response will be posted after yours, because I have to give my slutty cat a bath after she ran away, probably rubbed herself against the undercarriage of a car, then got stuffed by some neighborhood boy cat. And cat bathing takes time.

Tribute Videos Are My Blog and Butter
But let’s ignore the political FAILtrain that is the McCain/Palin ticket (oops, I said it) and lighten the mood, shall we? In the aforementioned post, Rissa said that she would rather “Make a tribute video for YouTube about your favorite moderately-known TV star to a really awesome Fall Out Boy jam” than watch the RNC.
Um, done. I give you this tribute video for Paranormal State star (and Rissa’s boyfriend) Ryan Buell:
I think the new title of this blog is going to be I’m Gonna Blog Your Mind With All of These YouTube Tribute Videos. I’m pretty sure I speak for the world when I say shame on you/thanks Internet for these.
Bonus: Here’s another one that I like that’s 8 minutes long and is a lot angstier:

Five Better Things To Do Rather Than Watch The RNC
1. Get drunk and fall in a gutter full of dogshit. Sobering up/cleaning that off will take awhile.
2. Almost get date raped. Make the obligatory myspace post and journal about it afterward.
3. Make a tribute video for youtube about your favorite moderately-known TV star to a really awesome Fall Out Boy jam.
4. See how deep you can cut yourself until you pass out. I bet it's pretty deep - and I bet you pass out for a while.
5. Punch your fist through a wall; preferably attempt to punch it through a brick wall. That agonizing crunch of bone, cartilage, and veins will REALLY distract you from the fact that the nation is on the edge of a knife, about to choose a tyrannical party to lead for the third time because FETUSES ARE PEOPLE TOO AND JESUS LOVES THEM.

The Ghost Hunters Breeding Challenge - ANSWER
There were many great choices (there were no great choices), but let's start with those who I did NOT choose. I have managed to find YouTube tribute videos for all of those individuals that I will not be boning because apparently there are some ladies out there who do want to bone them.
First, I will not repopulate the human race with Brian Harnois.
I will also not be saving the human race with Steve Gonsalves.
Dustin's backwards-visor-sporting obsession is so cool (it is terrible), but I do not want this to be the fashion statement that the future humans embrace first.
Lastly, I will not be creating future world children with Andy Andrews.
First runner-up is Jason Hawes. Jason is the founder of TAPS, and I do LOVE POWER, so he seems like a good choice, but I want the future human race to have full heads of hair and he is lacking in the head hair department.
So, in conclusion:
+
=
FUTURE OF HUMAN RACE
The Ghost Hunters Breeding Challenge
In a freak toothpaste factory accident, everyone in the world died from toothpaste poisoning, except for you (Randi) and the entire Ghost Hunters team (minus Donna and that annoying Long Island trashbag whose name I don't know. Rebecca? Whatever.), who uses the same Crest Whitening with Fluoride that you do. Now that your introductions are over, it's time to get down to business. In other words, IT IS BUSINESS TIME.
You have to restart the human race. Who will sire your children? Meet the candidates:
Jason "Jay" Hawes: The founder of TAPS and father of like 10 kids (who are now dead), he's the bald, gruff speaking man-in-charge. Do you like his shiny pate and surprisingly supple legs? What about his colorful button ups? You decide.
Grant Wilson: The kinder, rapid-laugh cohort of Jay, he is considered the co-founder of TAPS. His interests are full-bodied apparitions, clear EVPs, and verifiable evidence. His dislikes are orbs and psychics. Do you laugh when he says "What the frig?" Then maybe you're ready for him to lay a train on you.
Steve Gonsalves: Overly-tattooed "tech manager" of the TAPS team, Steve is sometimes soft-spoken, but mostly just kind of a dumbass. He sure gets enthused about ghosts, but he DOESN'T get enthused about a great many other things: spiders, flying, heights, oceans, whole milk, deodorant, and public toilets. Do you like a man with complications? Then SG is waiting for you - and so is the human race.
Andy Andrews: Mousy, feminine-yet-married (she's dead now) Andy Andrews has the double-name market cornered. He "engineers" cool tools for ghost hunting, like his wrist-strapped flashlight (tm). He's also good at identifying owl pellets! Neat. If you've been thinking that maybe you're gay, AA is the closest you are getting to double X.
Brian Harnois: He's got snaggly teeth up the wazoo, but what he sure DOESN'T have is brains. Everything is a ghost, so good thing he's hunting them. They're everywhere! But if things get moderately scary, he knows when to run - and he'll tell you so! If you like hearing "dude" at least 40 times a day, BH is ready to love you... girl.
Dustin Pari: With all that spiky hair and upside-down visors, Dustin sure is Mr. Sassy Pants. His cool look and original wardrobe will tell you so. I think he might specialize in something, but the only thing I remember is him getting pushed down like a bitch in some castle by some ghost. What's up now, Pari? I mean - he could also be your partner and mate with you.
So there you go, Randi. For the sake of time and to spare you all that agonizing debating, I've saved the GHI team for another time. Please give us (myself and the reader) a short essay about whom you've chosen and why.
GOOD LUCK

Something Special For The Cat Lady In Your Life
So, I started thinking about all of the gift doors that have been opened now that she has become a cat lady. After a bit of googling, it seems the cat ladies of the world have really mobilized their feline-themed products on the world wide internets because I was provided with many gift ideas for future birthdays, Christmas, Labor Day, Valentine’s Day, Earth Day, etc. Below is a sample of the items that Rissa can expect to receive on all holidays for the rest of her life:
1. The most obvious gift is a subscription to Cat Fancy magazine. Here is where she can read heart-warming cat tales (PUN) like “one cat’s bicycle journey through South America”.
2. These figurines. The purple one is whimsical, while the red one has the market cornered on sassy.
3. *Singing* Here comes Cat-a Clause, here comes Cat-a Clause, right down Cat-a Clause lane…
4. This door stop so she can keep or herd of cats inside, or let them roam freely.
5. These adorrifying cat earrings that detach at the torso.
6. This Faberge cat jewelry box to keep all of her cat earrings in.
7. These cat salt and pepper shakers (and napkin holder!) for parties on Caturday.
8. These socks to keep her paws warm at night. BAD NEWS. These are currently out of stock due to high demand!
9. And finally, this stroller/cat prison for her to safely take her babies out for afternoon strolls. As you can see, it has many great features and is 30% larger than the original PetStroller (bonus!).
And there you have it!

I'm Not Cool Enough To Be a Part of the American Family
I saw commercials for three different shows: Greek, Secret Life of the American Teenager, and something something Lincoln Street. Greek is about bitchy, smarmy, long-haired boys and girls drinkin', goin' to class, partyin', pledgin', and of course, LIVIN' IT UP COLLEGE-STYLE, which most likely includes giving some fat kid the nickname "Lunchbox." Secret Life is about high school kids doing the same thing, but also getting pregnant at 16. Finally, something something Lincoln Street is about a Black family.
I know what you're thinking - bad punchline. Good thing that was not the punchline. The payoff is this - the ABC Family channel motto for their original programming is "ABC Family - a NEW kind of family." According to this great motto, here are the essential elements of the NEW kind of American family:
-wispy bangs
-pledgin'
-being a totally amoral sophomore in high school who doesn't double bag it when they should
-layered shirts
-flat ironed hair
-wacky college pranks that most likely "go wrong"
-being a bitch
-date rape
-being Black (no one was Black in America before, whew!)
That's cool, ABC. I understand I'm not part of the new America. I'm just some stupid 23 year-old who hasn't gotten pregnant and didn't pledge to TriDelt.
You are SO welcome. (P.S. Et tu Molly Ringwald???!!!)

Things I'm Addicted To: Mad Men
Mad Men is on AMC (WTF, is there anything else on this channel?) and is about a Manhattan advertising agency in the early 1960s (the “Mad” stands for Madison Avenue. It’s a DOUBLE-ENTENDRE).
Even the opening credits are awesome
Somebody put together a video of the top 10 Un-PC moments on Mad Men which covers some, but not all of the really good ones.
If I could have sex with a show, it would be Mad Men and then Mad Men would probably give me syphilis in return. When you start watching it reader, you will want to have sex with it too. Remember to use a condom though because this show will have sex with anyone.

My FAIL Moment
I would love to submit it to the FAIL Blog, but I think the wounds are a little too fresh on this particular Fail and it would come across as distasteful. Sooo, I've decided to put it on my own blog because, let's face it, my standards are pretty low. I've even put it in the FAIL format.

I Live in Las Cruces, New Mexico
LC is a strange, Langoliers-esque city that resides not in the USA, but in the Plunited States of Gaymerica. Here, fact is fiction, and fiction is probably banned because it wasn't Catholic. After celebrating ONE FULL YEAR in the Cosmic Asshole of the Universe, I present you with some LC FUN FACTS (yaaayyy all riiiiggght):
-Each year, LC has a caterpillar migration where nearly a million big green caterpillars make their way through the city on the way to... whatever. Breed? Die? I don't know, and my giveashit meter just ran out of care-juice. The point is, at this time of year, the roads are smeared with thousands of green dots and their surprisingly bluish guts, like tropical burst gushers. When I ride over them with my bike, they make this strange snikt sound that makes me nauseous. If that isn't enough, this happens every year, but on the news they're still like "CATERPILLAR INFESTATION ZOMG!!!1" Literally, they complain about it on the 9 o'clock news. WHOOPS. You live in a city that is invaded by caterpillars once a year. The maybe-you-should-rethink-where-you-live hot air balloon just landed in your I'm-a-dumbass parking lot.
-The biggest theater in LC, the TELSHOR CINEMA 12 (the big 12), has absolutely no seating inside save the actual theater seats. It's like a weird betaverse where everyone is a vampire and doesn't need to sit (oh no I didn't!). P.S. - I just did.
-There is a farmers market where US currency isn't accepted, only swallows' beaks and American Spirit cigarettes. They just sell onions, Sagrado Corazon candles, fresh-made tortas, and gift certificates to Caliches, the local frozen custard stand. If you bring in a bushel's worth of migrant caterpillars, you can trade it in for one cup of cinnamon horchata and a case of that beer that's mixed with Clamato.
Things I'm Addicted To: Soul Calibur IV
Soul Calibur is a Mortal Kombat-style fighting game and that’s about it. It has practically no story line, terrible voice acting, scantily-clad characters and is easy to learn how to play.
I haven’t played Soul Calibur for a couple of years, but I knew I was in trouble when the husband told me that Soul Calibur IV was going to be released for PS3. I became jittery like a recovering alcoholic in a room full o’ booze. Said husband picked up the game on the day it was released, I learned the new controls, and am now fully addicted to The Calibur again. You want proof? I’m developing a nerd blister on my left thumb.
You guys, this is pretty much what I look like when I’m playing:
That said, I would like to discuss the completely ridiculous nature of Soul Calibur. I’m absolutely convinced this game was developed by a basement full of 13 year old boys with an unlimited supply of Mountain Dew and Cheetos. Here are some reasons that I believe this to be true:
1. The lack of clothing for female characters and size of lady chesticles. All of the female characters look like this:
2. The “story line” incorporates words like “destiny” and “fate” but in a nonsensical way like, “The wind is my destiny and you shall not prevail!”. This could only be written by 13 year old boys who put all of their pubescent effort into creating point number 1 above.
3. Random presence of Darth Vader in a game otherwise filled with medieval-type characters. Yes nerds, in case you’re wondering, he fights with a light saber and can use the force.
Still, I am hopelessly addicted. Here’s an overview of the game for those of you who have lives and don’t have time to learn Talim’s grab attack and scissor kick combo:
P.S. - The guy who does this game review is also Rissa's boyfriend.

This Picture Is Only Worth Two Words: Suck It

I'm Concerned About Men's Deep V-Neck T-Shirts
Recently I’ve noticed more and more of you wearing deep v-neck t-shirts. No. In this girl’s opinion, man cleavage is not a good look. Hairy man cleavage is an even worse look.
No, Jonas Brother whose name I don't know
No, anorexic man model
No, this guy
Even though they’re available in lots of pretty colors that match any variation of khaki or faded denim, I would appreciate it if you would just stop.
In return, I will promise not to wear velour track suits. Deal?Wal Mart Held a Gun to My Head
1. Chewing Tobacco
Chewing tobacco, or "chew" to all us people that have bought dresses at Wal Mart, is awesome. Tobacco tastes so delicious, I want to skip burning it and put it right in my mouth - with tiny shards of glass inside! My precancerous cells are humming in anticipation. Not only THAT, there's a cool trick called The Ring of Fire, where you ring the area between your lips and teeth (top and bottom, else it's not a ring - dur). I'm told it's so HOT (zing!) that the glass shards cut your tissue to put nicotine straight into your bloodstream, so you can throw up seconds after doing it. FIERCE!
2. Scratchers
Not only will I incorporate scratchers into my daily routine, like others who have bought dresses at Wal Mart, I will become addicted to them. My WT lifestyle would not be complete without a true addiction, and I want one that will suck my money up fast.
3. Bumper Stickers
My new bumper stickers will be bought exclusively at Chuck E Cheese, roller rinks, and thrift stores, to ensure that they are a) totally sparkly b) in a convenient oval shape and c) full of classy phrases like "no fear" and "princess" and "super bitch." I've spent 5 years of higher education to learn how to express myself. NOW, I AM HOME.
4. Camo Pants
Naturally, I'm going to need a pretty sweet pair of pants to stash all that cool shit in. So that means it's got to have a lot of pockets - all up and down those baggy pant legs. But how to roll in style? I can only think of one print - the king of prints - to bedeck my new travel-ware. CAMO. SIIIICK. I gotta make sure it has velcro pockets, though, because how else can I get my switch blade out fast enough?
I give you the finished product:
