Mel Gibson Audio – Don’t Listen to It

Seriously, I wish I hadn’t.

The link is spreading on all the main celebrity blogs. It sounds like he’s about one more comment away from hitting her.  Bad stuff.

LeBron James Gnome Beard

Lunch today pretty much centered on LeBron James talk. I couldn’t have cared less. My only contribution to the conversation was the observation that he has a gnome beard.

This led to my mind wandering into a different direction.

What exactly would a gnome beard be in slang terms? Dating someone to mask the fact you are in fact a garden gnome? Would this happen in fantasy realms? Would say a gnome dating a fairy give off the appearance he’s really a dwarf?

Are gnomes considered asexual? I mean people in England are getting in trouble all the time for sexy garden gnomes. Then again, garden gnomes tend to be pretty old little sprites. It’s all white beards and sensible shoes. They probably would need gnome Viagra (Gniagra? The power of the falls in your pants?).

Fairies are always lying around like Playboy models on dew-covered flowers, but I don’t really imagine gnomes are getting it on in the tulips after midnight.

Then you have dwarfs who are like mini-Vikings, off mining various types of ores and beating the shit out of other mystical creatures with their big clubs. I think a dwarf would love to bang the bejeebus out of a fairy. So if a gnome were going to try and pass himself off as something other than gnome, hooking up with a fairy, dying his beard, and getting clunkier shoes to pass himself off as a dwarf would be a definite path in life.

Gnome beard. Random thought for the day.

The Double Rainbow Connection

Since we’re on the topic of shares and pointing stuff out to me, was shown the original “Double Rainbow” video a few nights ago. Funny. Back story of this viral hit is that Jimmy Kimmel tweeted about in on July 3rd and it’s been spreading like wildfire ever since. What I really love about these viral videos are the many responses that spring up afterwards.  A lot of the time they are even funnier than the original. I have to say I do like the Double Rainbow Connection remix quite a bit.

Yoda GPS

I’ve been debating buying a GPS unit ever since someone pointed out to me that I should  get a GPS.  It’s one of those things where you never ever thought about it, and the second someone says you should get one you’re all about it. My navigation style up to this point really just involves printing out MapQuest directions and having a lot of them on the floor of my car.

Anyhoodles…

If you get a TomTom you can get Yoda to navigate for you.  Funny. Don’t how useful it would be for me though.

Anthony “Hollywood Montrose” Williams – Go Vote For Him Now

There’s a poll over at People.com right now for which Reality TV Stars Deserve Emmys. Our boy from Project Runway, Anthony “Hollywood Montrose” Willliams is neck-and-neck with the lovely Pandora Boxx from RuPauls’ Drag Race in the “Outstanding Male, Comedy” category. Much as I adore Pandora, I have to give this one to Anthony. Forgive me Miss Boxx.

Work of Art – Some Useless Trivia about Miles

I’ve been watching Bravo’s new reality show tv “Work of Art” pretty regularly, even though I don’t claim to understand art.  Since it’s still in it’s first season it has that unexpected new reality tv show feel.  What’s the point? Who are these people? What will they do next?

Breaking out of the pack right away was local MN boy Miles, a messy conglomeration of hipster college art major ticks. Interesting tidbits about Miles.

  • He thinks that Ursula the Sea Witch in Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a “megababe” when she transforms herself into a brunette. So much so he got his first erection watching her.
  • Like many MN college boy hipsters, he has his own MySpace Music  page (but sadly has yanked off all his music.) Afro-beat anyone?
  • His Work of Art crush Nicole is the niece of Countess Luann de Lesseps from The Real Housewives of New York City. (Bravo is keeping it’s reality stars in the family as it were.)
  • Miles went to Lakeville High School, just south of Burnsville, MN and home to a rather large mega-movie theater complex – one of the first built in the state. There’s also a giant bowling alley there. Influential to Miles work? Probably not. Just useless trivia.
