Besides being a great song musically (right in my wheelhouse with the late Motown/peak Stevie Wonder vibe), it’s catchy as shit and plain funny. Just don’t think too deeply about the trite misogynistic lyrics and enjoy the awesomeness.
This song has totally exploded on the interwebs by the way. By the time you read this, it will probably be as overplayed as Crazy was, but for right now? Kick. Ass.
Besides the part where we’re just innately awesome, of course, there’s this counterprotest at the San Diego ComicCon
They’ve faced down humans time and time again, but Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them today at Comic-Con. After all, who can win against a counter protest that includes robots, magical anime girls, Trekkies, Jedi and…kittens?
Unbeknownst to the dastardly fanatics of the Westboro Baptist Church, the good folks of San Diego’s Comic-Con were prepared for their arrival with their own special brand of superhuman counter protesting chanting “WHAT DO WE WANT” “GAY SEX” “WHEN DO WE WANT IT” “NOW!” while brandishing ironic (and some sincere) signs. Simply stated: The eclectic assembly of nerdom’s finest stood and delivered.
TLC’s retooled ‘Kate Plus Eight’ is pulling out all the stops for an upcoming episode — including a big cameo by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a source tells In Touch magazine. And with Palin’s upcoming docu-reality TV show set to run on the same network, it’s potentially a great opportunity for cross-promotion.
I vastly prefer singles to doubles. Vastly. But working on both anyway.
I’m obviously moving up to the next ladder the next go ’round. I look forward to getting my ass kicked. Well, not looking forward to, but for a little bit. Until I dominate there again.
It’s the year of the metal tiger (so, gold or white tiger). Make sure you eat some long noodles today.
Also, watch this:
I love how they don’t actually hide any of the social extortion/negotiation that goes along. Kids behave because if they don’t, no red envelope for you, you little shits. And the adults hang around long enough until they drink enough to stand each other.
Look for the phrase “Gan Bei” (= “bottom’s up”). Repeatedly.
Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian and political activist who was an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam and whose books, such as “A People’s History of the United States,” inspired young and old to rethink the way textbooks present the American experience, died today in Santa Monica, Calif, where he was traveling. He was 87.
