“I can name that tune in three notes…”

Kieran was correct to dub a previous contestant a Randroid.  Let’s continue the “name those bachelors” game…
Bachelor #1: “I am seeking for a woman who is confident about herself and can carry an interlectual conversation when required.”  OK, let’s overlook the fact that he ironically misspelled intellectual…I love how having an intellectual conversation is reduced [...]

Surreal and amusing, here’s Gael Garcia Bernal getting his norteño on in a song you’ll quickly recognize (and apparently from the film Rudo y Cursi).

Before you go out on New Years, get armed with some dance instruction from none other than Mr. James Brown.  Disregard his high heels and rather large, protruding belly (camouflaged nicely, I must say), and focus instead on the sheer funkiness of this man:

I am working the mines, the deep trenches, on some GRRRRRReat stuff and along the way ran into the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fund.  This is a fellowship for those seeking a graduate degree in a “designated institution” (these are Ivys, Potted Ivys and a scatterling of other “top institutions” in the U.S.).  It is restricted [...]

I wonder what the Hillary song would have been.

TN’s very own Chip Saltsman–potential RNC chair–made a mixed Xmas cd for distribution to RNC committee members…because he’s a 14 year old girl.  Song titles included on the CD (and listed in bold-faced font…WICKED!!) were reportedly as follows:
“John Edwards’ Poverty Tour,” “Wright place, wrong pastor,” “Love Client #9,” “Ivory and Ebony” and “The Star Spanglish [...]

Just the thing America needs, in 2009.

Apparently, there’s “drunk history.”  Only in LA, right…?
This one here is about the Hamilton-Burr duel…sorta.

This one?  “William, you are my bastard son, Franklin:”

This other one includes the word ‘fuck’, a lot.  But in a very, very funny way.  I’m just warning you, you know.  It is also [...]

The irony-disabled won’t get the sausage joke.

Except for the ease with which I can shop thereafter, reading Top 5/10/25/50/100 lists gives me the willies.  Although I did bump into one set last week that included lists like “Top 10 pastas of 2008: 10. Lasagna; 9. Penne”, I have almost lost hope that Tops lists are more than a consumer’s to-do list.  [...]

h/t unfogged
To pair with this, some narratives from a friend using an on-line dating service in a major US city.  She introduces us to them using their “profile statements” (general descriptions of what they’re looking for in a female partner) and comments on them in parens:
Bachelor #1: “she has to inspire [...]
