Canada's Next Top H&M Employee

People, let's get a few things straight before I launch into a tirade about CNTM. This is a Canadian Top Model:This is a Canadian Top Model:This is NOT a Canadian Top Model:Seriously. Did you WATCH CNTM last night? Santa Maria, that was miserable. Can we please name their house "The Dog Pound", cause those girls are ug-lee. And I know there will be one or two of you that will go "you just jealous!!". Umm, no. Jealous of this? I don't think so. And please don't comment on the poor crop-job on these pictures - it must not be in the budget to hire a decent photographer on CNTM. Also, did you know that they win a contract with Sutherland Models? AHAHAHAHAHAH!! Can we go over the Toronto Modeling Agency Heirarchy for a moment here?
1. Elmer Olsen
2. Ford
3. Elite
4. Barbizon
5. Tru-Star Modelz
6. Uncle Ricky's Ladies
7. Sutherland Models
Exactly. So, how about we take a spin around The Dog Pound and rate these mutts?

CORI
Cori looks like she should be operating the Drop Zone at Six Flags Darien Lake. No seriously, it's summertime and she needs to put her application and resume in post-haste if she wants summer employment. I would leave CNTM off her resume if I were her; it will only hurt her chances of getting a job.


GINA
Aka Gyna. As in Va-gina. You know, from the 40-year-old Virgin? Anyways, Gyna looks like a broke-ass Coors Maxim Caddy. Like the kind that just barely got a job at hooters and then she auditioned to be a Maxim girl and they only took her because their favorite girls, Trishelle and Kyana, got picked up by FHM for their equally as popular "Win a Golf Game with a Miller Hi-Life FHM Slut".


JACQUELINE
Take off that stupid scarf. Seriously, it is bothering me to no end. It is ugly and is drawing attention away from the fact that you are one of the only pretty girls on the show. TAKE IT OFF!!


MIKA
This girl was my favorite last night, until she got the boot. One down, one to go. Goodbye ethnic diversity!!


MO
You're next girl! Watch yo back!! Mo is very very pretty and has a cute little accent. Good for her!! She is also totally full of herself and I think the girls are going to gang up on her.


REBECCA
Rebecca is the girl who said that she was working in a meat factory making hot dogs. Apparently she leaves the factory every day covered in blood (like Carrie?) and she desperately wanted to escape. Um, why? You are a hot girl in a factory that is presumably filled with men. You would get attention 24-7, plus with all that blood, you could just stop buying tampons and blame it on the meat. EWWW!! Did I honestly just type that? The Skip-Raid has reached a new low!
In short, Rebecca reminds me of a young Shelly Duvall.


SINEAD
Sinead is boring and will float through this competition till she is eliminated. Like, there is NOTHING top-model about this girl. Yes, she is pretty, but so are most of the girls who work at Costa Blanca, and we're not going out and giving them modeling contracts.


STEF
Like, they just slept through those audition tapes, right? Otherwise, how did this girl sneak in? I'm pretty sure she just showed up at City-TV HQ's and lined up with the rest of them during taping and no one bothered to escort her out. They're just like "was that girl always here? Meh, who cares, I'm still getting paid for this, right?" Stef looks like any girl you see walking through the mall (aka NOT TOP MODEL MATERIAL). Don't unpack those bags just yet, homegirl - you will probably be next.


TARA
This girl MIGHT look better from a makeover, and MIGHT look better with some coaching, and MIGHT look better under some cool lighting, or MIGHT have some real talent. Then again, I MIGHT be a better astronaut if I had access to Cape Kennedy, and I MIGHT be a better unicorn if I had a horn on my head, and I MIGHT be able to fly with Santa and the Easter Bunny in their Magic Sleigh-Car on St.Patrick's Day Eve if I woke up on time. Do you get where I'm going with this? She is ugly, and you can't do much about ugly. Homegirl is like highschool in July: No Class. And DON'T say she is just "weird" looking.Agyness Deyn is "Weird" looking, but she is also totally gorgeous. Tara is just plain uggers. You can't change uggers, it just ain't gonna happen.


TIA
Last but not least, is the ugliest of them all, Tia. Woof! Woof! Soo-eee!! Seriously, this girl is beyond ugly - byatch is HOMELY. Tell me she looks anywhere near as gorgeous as Stam or Daria. Go ahead, try it. You can't. And look, I know I'm being harsh, and that I'm sure they are all totally cool and nice and smart. But this isn't Canada's Nicest Coolest Girl. This is a glorified beauty pageant. Ergo, shoudln't the competitors be somewhat beautiful? Is this an Inner Beauty Pageant (like on Arrested Development)? Anyways, I really hope Tia gets the boot, cause not only is she fug-to-the-max, she's also really goddamned annoying.

Well, that's all for this week in CNTM news. I think next week they get makeovers or something. Who will look better? Who will look worse? Will it even matter?

Ginger Tuesdays...on Wednesday

People, I will be honest with you - I haven't seen Shrek 3. And...I also didn't see much of Shrek 2 either. I saw the part with the Antonio Banderas cat, Puss In Boots. That was pretty cute. But I'm sorry - the best part of Shrek 1 was Lord Farquhar, and he died at the end, so I thought - what's the point? There probably won't be an hilarious Small World parody with lyrics like "please keep off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your...face". My kid sister saw Shrek 3 and said that the only funny part was Pinnoccio, but I can make my own boner jokes about that at home without spending $12.
Anyways, I thought I'd touch on a subject that I just noticed. Here's Princess Fiona (a Ginger) before she reveals her "true self":And here she is after she reveals her "true self":Hhhmm...let me get this straight. All the princesses have something wrong with them. Snow White is asleep forever until someone kisses her and wakes her up. Black hair. Rapunzel has embarrassingly long hair and is trapped in a tower until a prince saves her. Blonde hair. Fiona is pretty and then upon true love's kiss she turns into her real form which is a hideous troll. Ginger.
That's what I thought. People, let Shrek serve as a warning to us all. If you fall in love with a Ginger, and you kiss it, it WILL turn into its true form, which is a hideous freak troll. I went to high school with a guy who looked like Shrek, and let me tell you - not cool.
So remember - don't fall in love with a Ginger.

Overrated: The Animal Kingdom Edition

The animal world is just like Hollywood; there are people who will always be around and will always stay classy (Gwenyth Paltrow) or people who are a little under the radar but are still totally cool (Chloe Sevigny). Then there are people who you wish would just drive drunk and crash their car and then flee the scene and then the cops find drugs in the glove compartment (...not so fast, Lohan...). So here are the best of the best and the lamest of the lame in the world of animals. Enjoy!

THE CLASSICS

SEALS
I think that seals may be the only animal that gets cuter as it grows up. Can't say that for kittens, now can we? Even when seals get old and fat, they just get older in years and fatter in the cute department (aka The Jowels). What other animal has its own national holiday where people track them down in huge packs to snuggle their brains out? What? They're not stalking them to snuggle them? Whugh, my bad. "Club Sandwiches, Not Seals" makes so much sense now.

KANGAROOS
Quick! Name an animal other than a kangaroo that you can box? Boxing your dog isn't boxing; that's animal abuse. There really isn't any other animal that you can throw a pair of a pair of Everlasts on and go to Tyson Town on its ass and LOSE. I'd say the only way a human could beat a kangaroo in a fight is by shooting it, but then you'd be a total dick and I'd hire a kangaroo to kick your ass.

POLAR BEARS
Jesus, what is it with the North that makes some seriously kick-ace animals? Polar bears combine the adorability of a snuggly little cotton ball (like Knut, the world's most famous P-bear) with the human-killing properties of a...well, bears. Also, you know how normal bears won't attack a human unless they feel threatened? Apparently, polar bears will attack you just cause you are there. Word.

MICE
Plenty of rodents can be cute, but what if you want a combination of cute and fast and LETHAL? What other animal can get a tonne of people sick AND sleep in a chunk of swiss cheese? Mice in the subway do that, don't they? Sleep in cheese?


THE UNDERDOGS

KOALAS
Not since the 1980's have koalas see any popularity. Seriously, do you not remember that? Olivia Newton-John and her Koala-Blue brand and Crocodile Dundee and everyone was drinking Fosters (a kid I know actually thought Australian was a language and that 'fosters' was the Australian word for 'beer') and everyone was flying Qantas and listening to Men Without Hats "I come from a land down under" and eating Vegemite...wait, no one was eating Vegemite. That stuff is SICK!
Anywhoo, koala bears are adorable and everything, but did you know:
- They are not bears
- Their claws can rip through cans and will kill you if you take away its kids or bamboo

OCTOPUS
Don't correct me and say 'octopi' you pretentious douchebag. Nobody says octopi. Anyways, what can you say about the octopus? Maybe that it constantly lives in the whale and shark's shadow? Or maybe that they used to drag ships and seamen to their deaths (although they started to knock it off somewhere around 1912 when they discovered that most seamen were sleeping with seaport hookers and were swimming with diseases). Let's just say that octopusses do a bunch of things well, but one specific thing great: when you cut off their legs and dredge them in flour and cornmeal and fry them, they taste delicious. Keep up the good work, tasty friends of the sea!!

MONGOOSE
Mongeese (?) fight snakes. Like real snakes, too. Pythons. One time a Mongoose fought Chuck Norris and the mongoose almost won. But you know how it is. Chuck can kill any animal with one punch (except kangaroos, they take several punches and the soundtrack to Billy Elliot).

SLOTHS
Sloths will be the next big deal. They are on the upsing and you'll be seeing a lot more of them around town. You know, at Hyde and Teddys and stuff. Doing lines with Lohan and crashing their beemers into sloth-trees. Oh, and Kitson. Those marsupials will be all over Kitson.


THE OVERRATED aka WHERE'S A POACHER WHEN YOU NEED ONE?

PANDAS
God, are these little turds overrated or what? Seriously, what good do they do? They aren't even bears (at least Koalas can admit this) and all they are famous for is having babies in Chinese zoos. Plus, they don't even taste good (Number 9 special at New Ho Garden). Can they swim? No. Can they fight people? Hells no, they are so lazy. Can they sing or fart on command or do X-rated stuff at zoos? Never. They are black and white and that's about it. You know who else follows that same criteria? Zebras. And they are cooler. Pandas denied.

PARROTS
Parrots belong on Jimmy Buffet's shirts and the set of Miami Vice and shitty art from the 80's. And I don't mean in the ironic sense, either, like ironic moustaches or ironic shades. Parrots are crummy pets cause their piss smells so bad and all they do is sit on your head like they live at African Lion Safari. Plus, they are ugly birds! Parrots have no redeeming qualities.

MONKEYS
Ew ew ew. I hate monkeys. They are like gross little people. Plus, it's like whenever a movie needs some comic relief, they always throw in a monkey in a diaper. EW! STOP! No more monkeys in diapers!! Its just, oh my god. I always avoid the monkey house at the zoo cause they make me so uncomfortable. Is there something wrong with me? Seriously, who else hates monkeys?

LIGERS
If I could go back in time, I would first go slap 10-year-old me for wearing so much Northern Getaway. Secondly, I would go to Jared Hess' house and say "Jared. Listen. Napoleon Dynamite is going to make you a buttload of money. So much money that you will be able to make a second movie (that will be way awesome and it will be called Nacho Libre and Jack Black will be in it and it will have way more quotable lines, and it won't make a ton of money, but it will be way more amazing that Napoleon Dynamte, but anyways) but do me a favour. Don't invent Ligers. Please. You will regret it buddy. You will see them everywhere and really dumb boring people will be all over them. They will talk about ligers for a year and a half and smart people (who will be SO over the movie a year and a half later) will have to listen to these morlocks for way too long until they find something new to ruin. And while you're at it, don't make a shirt that says "vote for pedro" in red cooper bold. Please. Again, you will thank me for this".

Happy Memorial Day, Urrbods.

I am told that because it is Memorial Day, my American Readers will be taking the day-off and getting down on some Hot Dogs and Fireworks today. Good for you! You guys celebrate everything, and I love that. You take off every president's birthday/death-day/time they cut the ribbon at a railroad and celebrate with No-TAX sales at the Mall (which I then reap the benefits of, since it costs too bloody much to drive down to Buffalo / aka Big Buffy to buy cheap shit from Forever 21).
So enjoy celebrating the outstanding Men and Women of our Greatest Generation. You may not know what the capitol of England is, but you sure as hell know that because of them it's not Berlin.

Puppy for Sale

People, I certainly love junkmail. Who doesn't want to increase their penis size using authentic Egyptian treatments or get the hottest animated smilies? Today I got an exceptional junkmail - I actually thought for a second it was a letter. Feel free to scan through it or just skip to the end:

Good day,
This is Mrs Elena Caviar am emailing you in regards of the puppy you have for sale, so what I want you to do for me now is to give me the cost of the Puppy and I want to let you know that i'll send my shipping company to come down to your place for the pick. And the payment method will be via (CASHIERS CHEQUE) which you will just take to the nearest cash point to
you to cash it. Please reconfirm your final selling price. Once i hear from you i will need you to email me the following details:
(1) YOUR FULL NAME THAT WILL BE WRITTEN ON THE
CASHIERS CHEQUE
(2) YOUR FULL MAILING ADDRESS
(3) YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER
(4) FINAL SELLING PRICE
Thanks for the co-operation and God bless. Best Regards
Mrs Elena Caviar
And i also want you to know that you will be receiving a CASHIERS CHEQUE of $5.000 that will sent to from a client of mine who is owing me this amount. So all I want you to do now is to recieve the CASHIERS CHEQUE , After then i will expect you to wire the funds Immdiately to my Shipping Company to come over for the Pick up (I will handle the Shipping so Shipping
Should not any Problem). All you need to do is to wait for the Shipping Company to come over for the Pick up, You will be notify on the Day they will arrive so that you will around for them for the pick up. Also funds should be Transfered to my Shipping Company via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER. I am Compesating you with the Sun of $200 for thelittle stress you will be going through in the transaction. Finally i am making you a promise that the pup will be taken care of just like a child and nutured like my friend,companion and pet at the same time,never lacking any care and love from me at any point,i will also send you pictures from time to time for you to see what love it gets from me. So If this is acceptable by you i want you kindly let me know in your next response....I want you to reply back to my original email address: ********@yahoo.com
Thanks..


So, of course I had to write back:

1. I do not have a puppy for sale
2. There is no cost for the puppy, as there is no puppy for sale
3. Is your name really ‘Mrs. Caviar’? Should I send the puppy to CLUE c/o Parker Brothers? What happened to the last puppy? It was the rope in the library, wasn’t it?

4. “I am Compesating you with the Sun of $200 for thelittle stress you will be going through in the
transaction”. Really? The Sun? I’d say that receiving The Sun would be considered a pretty high-stress transaction.
5. Good luck finding that puppy, and as always – read www.skipraid.blogspot.com

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

People, you know I normally don't post on the weekends, unless something very important comes up. Like Britney shaving her head. Or Paris being sentenced to the pokey.
But this is real big. Rull big. This is Jesus answering my prayers for reals big.
Lohan not only wrapped her car around a tree last night while high on coke and wasted on Mommy Juice, but she got busted with tonnes of coke in her car.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Holy shit, you stupid whore!!! What is wrong with you, you dumb retard?!?
Now, some of the naysayers might call Shenanigans saying that this is just a sad attempt at publicity for her new movie about being a stripper (I Know Who Killed Me...yeah, your cokehead ass in a BMW) but I say No Shenanigans. Her birthday is next week or something - girl's party was being sponsored by Sveda Vodka. (Hey, I know tonnes of AA-members who get alcohol companies to sponsor their birthday parties, don't hate.) Like, what the hell?!? I honestly didn't think it would end this way; I mean, everybody knows Lohan is a total snowface, but a drunk-driving car-write-off snowface? I honestly thought she would just get lame and disappear until The Surreal Life 2020.
Let's see where this one goes, shall we?Cheer up, Lilo! It's only a DUI charge, a Potential Vehicular Manslaughter charge, and a Possession of a Class A Drug charge! That's practically a slap on the wrist or a few months community...oh shit. You're going to jail.

I Call Shenanigans!!

There is a lot of buzz surroundind ABC's fall line up. QUICK! Name 3 shows other than the Geico Cavemen sitcom!! That's right, you can't. Don't feel bad, neither can I. All I can focus on is ABC's newest sitcom about a Geico commercial. I'm not sure what the actual title is (Cavemen? Geico's Cavemen? Max Headroom 2007?). People, I know PLENTY of people are naysaying this show (hell, most people think it's gonna get cancelled during the second commercial break of the pilot) but do you know what I think?
I think it's a fake.
I think this show is a big fat fake. I think that it's all hype that's going to turn around and bite us in the ass come fall. We're going to tune in September 30th, Thursday Night at 9pm and watch a 2 minute commercial followed by a big fat "fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance."
That, or it will be the next Seinfeld. Who knows? I mean, come one - Hell has frozen over, people. Do you need any more proof than The Simple Life 5?
I will follow this ABC's Cavemen till the bitter end. I swear to god, if it isn't a joke, then someone at ABC clearly woke up one morning and went "aw, fuck it...go ahead and greenlight that dream I had about cavemen".

Barf Diego Barf!!

So, here's a little story for you all to think about. I told you yesterday that I have been feeling under the weather because of some medecation I am on for an infection. For whatever reason, I loves the pills, but the pills don'ts loves me. So I was planning to go out for dinner with my beloved and his parents and before I left, I took my medecation (all 3 pills worth). Immediately, I start to feel nauseous. But whatever, walk it off, right? So we're meeting his parents at BCE place, which if you know Toronto at all, you know that's right near the Hummingbird Centre. So, I finally stop at the Hummingbird and say "I am defs going to sick-up" and start frantically looking for a spot to unload. Of course, the only spot semi-private is the hedges lining the HB-centre, so I'm like "whateves - gonna hurl". Now, normally I don't get embarrassed by throwing up in public; it's a very 'what-can-you-do-about-it?' moment and I respect that. But of course, I had to barf in front of the HB-centre which is showing the very popular Go Diego Go! LIVE and there were literally HUNDREDS of 4-year-olds walking past me and watching me barf. As well, the painkillers I am on stain your urine (and, natch, vomit) an electric orange colour. This was no typical camo-barf; this was like holding a giant flashing light that said "look over here at what this person is doing in the bushes!!"
People, it was like 'The Exorcist LIVE'(for Kidz!). Never have I seen so many children watching and screaming and laughing and going "Daddy, what is coming out of that person's mouth?!?"
To find out why I barfed orange, visit Drugs and Poisons. And remember kids, Pass on Grass. And by 'pass' I mean "try not to barf on the", and by 'grass' I mean...well, grass.
Pray For Mojo, everybody!!

Hollywood's Littlest Partygirl


Look out Paris Hilton, it's Suri Cruise! Are you looking at this bundle of adorability?!? Girl is getting ready to overthrow you as LA's numero uno out-of-cann-troll partygirl. Sources claim to have heard Suri tell the paparazzi that "Paris better enjoy prison" because there is a "new drunk at Hyde". This was after a visibly inebriated Suri exited Maxim's Hot 100 party last Thursday night at the Hotel Gansevoort in NYC. Here is Suri struggling to stay vertical on the set of her Mom's new movie 'Mad Money'. A source close to us here at The Skip-Raid is a craft-truck worker on the film and said that
"Suri shows up at least 2 hours after filming has begun and causes such a fuss that production has to be shut down for 1 to 2 hours at a time. I feel bad for Katie because Suri is totally out of control. Last week, she told a production assistant she needed 4 cases of Ketel One delivered to her Mom's trailer ASAP and then when they arrived, she smashed a case in front of the PA telling her "it wasn't the right kind". What kind of Ketel One did she want?!? There's only one!"
Mm-hm, girl better check herself. Who does she think she is, Rumer Willis?
Thanks to Michael K @ DListed for the image.

*I know this is a lazy post, but I am dying...sort of. I have a bladder infection. Sit on that one for a while. It feels like aliens cut out my kidneys (maybe they did!!...that's lame, sorry. It's the meds)

Unanswered Questions: Project Greenlight

This week in Unanswered Questions, I have decided to focus not on one horribly ill-conceived children's show, but several. After all - you guys are too good to me. You deserve it. Now, I could go the easy route and post a couple of pictures of Fred Penner with smarmy questions like "where the hell did that Log lead to, anyways?" but no. That would be too easy. Instead, I have decided to delve into the world of unloved, unwatched, and (natch) un-renewed television shows of the 80's and early 90's. So sit back and get ready for a trip down memory lane (actually, I guess it's more like 'How the Hell did that show get the Go-Ahead' Avenue). And if you don't remember some of the shows listed, it's okay. I watched A LOT of television in my formative years, and look at me now! Thank your lucky stars your parents pryed you away from the idiot box once in a while (my Mom couldn't pull me away from the tv, but it's not her fault. Being a successful Blackjack Dealer is a demanding career).

"Kids Can Rock and Roll"Oh Buddy Goodfellow, Ace Manners, P.J. Styles. For three rockstars, you sure did live pretty clean-cut lives. Where was the episode about a debilitating heroin addiction? The urban legend about the groupie from Tampa? The heartwrenching story about your original drummer, Joey Handshakes, choking on his own vomit on the Kideo tour bus? Oh yeah, that's right. You guys totally blew. I went to a birthday party when I was 9 and the kid's drunk stepdad pulled out a guitar and was was like "ARE YOU KIDS READY TO ROCK AND ROLL?!?!" and started into a messy verse from "Dr.Feelgood" and we were all like "Derek? Where's the clown? Didn't you say you were getting a clown?" and looking back, let me tell you. If I was back at that party and had to pick between a performance by Kideo or Derek's drunk stepfather, I would go for Motley Crue Stepdad. Why? Less embarrassing.

"Marie-Soleil"Ah, bonjour! Voici Marie-Soleil, Fergus, et Clune Samuel! Le plus-terrible programme de la television! You wanna know why my French is so bad? Because Marie-Soleil was a crock of shit. How could you learn anything from a woman speaking ONLY in French, a dog-puppet speaking ONLY in English, and a clown speaking ONLY in...hand gestures? This show was all over the place - Clune Samuel was clearly a girl. Secondly, Fergus looked like he was made from a sock and 2 golf balls 5 minutes before the show went to air. Thirdly; Marie-Soleil, I know that you're from Quebec. But come on. Could you have made this show any more anti-Anglophone? The only person who speaks english looks like he's been up all night snorting coke, and you made the only other human a mute as if he was to say "Je suis rather be silent than parlez englaise".

"Size Small Island"Now, Size Small Island wasn't that large of a blip on the Canadian Television radar (Hell, I used to make fun of the show as a 5 year old). It was about a family that lived in the mountains I guess? There was Miss Helen, Oliver, Grandma Gussie, Tex, and one very special friend who gave me nightmares on a regular basis. That's right, Friend Record. A giant piece of vinyl who sang songs and tapped 2 wooden spoons together. A giant anthropomorphisized record. With spoons. How did this show get 2 spin-offs again?!?

"Take Part with Lois Walker"Who is the mastermind behind this show, Lois Walker or the shitty Puppets? Because quite frankly, if I had to choose either one to do open-heart surgery on me, I'm going with that green box puppet that collects the mail. And am I the only one who got the feeling that Mr. Twister was fired from the child-birthday-party circut for telling a dirty limerick to a room full of 6-year-olds? Hey! I have a clever riddle to send in to Take Part!
There once was a super-gay show
that made puppets out of AH fuck it, limericks are hard.
Long story short, the only thing more terrible than Take Part was Lois Walker's Tell-a-Tale Town. So Bad.

"Readalong"TVO had some golden years, didn't they? Dear Aunt Agnes, Harriet's Magic Hats, Timothy Pilgrim, Math Makers. And of course, Telefrancais. But my personal favorite was Readalong, featuring Boot. Okay, come on. What is with all the anthropomorphisized puppets on 80's era YTV and TVO? At least Friend Record had a name that wasn't simply "Giant Record". Boot's name was 'Boot'. And Boot taught me to read. And Boot taught me to be scared of Noreen Young, the puppeteer who created Boot, Granny, all the puppets from Under the Umbrella Tree and Today's Special. Why did all the puppets look like they were melting?!? SOMEBODY TELL ME!!!

"Gigglesnort Hotel"I used to watch Gigglesnort Hotel everyday at lunchtime on YTV. It was about a guy who ran a hotel and there was a dragon that lived in the furnace. All in all, it was pretty dullsville. Aparently, it had been on for YEARS and I was just watching the final run of it, so I can't imagine how weird it was back in the day. But I will tell you this (and my friend Anna-Sophia can attest to this, as she used to watch the show too) there was this character on Gigglesnort who was just a lump of clay and the owner used to mould his face around (like make his eyebrows raised or his ears extra big). Which isn't necessarily weird. But whenever his face was fixed, the whole time the clay person would moan and scream in this horrible muffled way!! Like, the guy was killing him or something! Hello!! I was like 4 years old! How would you have taken that!?!?
Also, again, puppets that looked like they were melthing.

Friday F-You

Okay people. The shit has hit the fan. Remember way back when I talked about my affinity for the Handicapped Stall (aka The Luxury Stall) in the public washroom? Well, it seems someone has been using the Luxury Stall at my work. This wouldn't be so bad except that they destroy it every time they use it. Time after time, I have entered my own little Defecation Valhalla to find toilet paper all over the floor, the "sanitary receptacle" covered in "lady mess" and skid marks in the bowl.
And I know who it is, because I caught her TWICE now. She always comes out of the stall with this air of supremacy on her stupid face like "how DARE you use MY luxury stall?!? I'll leave shit stains in the bowl if I so choose!"
People, I suppose my question is this: what is the best way to deal with this unsavoury character? Should I out her as the slippery shitter she is in front of everybody else in the ladies room? Should I leave a little paper lunchsac in the stall with a post-it that says "Hello you filthy mongrel. Here is a bag for all your lady business, because I know it is such a daunting task for you to get your maxi(and may I stress 'maxi') pads into the "sanitary receptacle". Enjoy it, you dirty, unclean skank."? And good people, now is a good time to stress that nobody who works on my floor has a wheelchair/walker/too overweight to fit into the normal stalls. This is an able-bodied woman with an unfortunate problem: bad manners. When I poo, I will flush twice to make sure I don't leave residue in the bowl. Nobody likes to see what you've been eating all day. Judging by the smell and the colour, this woman eats alot of Curry and Pop-Tarts (so hot, they're cool). I swear to god, I need a solution. I used to love the Luxury Stall, as it provided me 5-10 minutes of quiet reflection in an otherwise chaotic public washroom.
Also, it was cleaner, gave me plenty of legroom, and had 2 coat-hooks. The Handicapped Stall is the Lexus of turletts, my friends, and this woman is treating my baby like it was a Hertz Rent-a-Car. If you have any suggestions for me, please leave them for me in the comments section. (and save any suggesstions to "grow up"; I've got enough of those to start a new blog)

And as always, have a great long weekend!! I'll see you all back here on Monday or Tuesday (I haven't decided yet).Also, go out and see Hot Fuzz this weekend! It fucking rolls it!!

America's Next Top Tranny - The Winner!!

Congratulations go out to Cha-Cha Tranny Jaslene! Good for you! You won ANTM Cycle 8!! Fantastic! Jaslene, I have a little advice for you:

What ever happened to the other kids from Full House?

Full House is an anomole for life. Now, I don't know what that means, but I do know that I watch Full House every single day at 7pm. And we all know what happened to the cast after the show ended (Stephanie = Meth, Olsen Twins = Anorexia, John Stamos = whoah baby!) But do you ever sit back and go "whatever happened to that faggy blonde kid who stole the part of Yankee Doodle from Michelle in the school play?" or "I bet Teddy has a sex tape". Well, maybe I'm the only one. Wait, no; I know my roomate Jenn would care too. This one's for you, Stank-Town!!

(all images borrowed from OH NO THEY DIDN'T!)

Let's start out with Michelle's rival, Derek. What a little turdlinger, non?And how did Derek turn out? Pulitzer Prize-winning Author? Intern surgeon at Cedars Sinai in LA? Mmm, not really.Yeah, Blake McIver Ewing is less 'nerd', more 'turd'. Nothing says unfortunate awkward years like homo-goth raver. And, of course, he is apparently still into acting and singing (aka Broadway songs into his hairbrush) Can you not imagine him right now in that Uncle Sam costume singing in the most Musical-Theatre voice "I'm a YAN-kee-DOO-dalll DAAAAN-deeeee...YAN-kee-DOO-dle to the ENNNNNND, YAN-kee-DOO-dalll wentootown, RIII-dang on a POE-NEEEE!"
If you care, here's Derek's Myspace.

On to Teddy. When Miller-Boyett discovered that as Michelle got older she got a lot less cute. They couldn't hide her bad acting behind cuteness anymore, so they bought Michelle some cute friends and, ta-da! On with the show!But what's up with Teddy now? Well, he was on The Suite Life with Zack and Cody a while back (uh...not that I watch that show...) and Tahj Mowry wasn't bad!Don't get me wrong, buddy is aping Bow Wow like crazy. Why do guys want to look like this? They're all joo-reed up and matchy-matchy with their clothes. It's like someone's Mom dressed them. Also, Tahj knows how to get back in the spotlight; sex tape. Works like a charm. Ask Dave Coulier.
If you care, here's Tamera Mowry's Myspace. I couldn't find Tahj's.

And who could forget Michelle's other black friend, Denise? I, for one, could. Homegirl was annoying....and her name was Jurnee. Gawd, lame. But you know I'm gonna eat my words when you see Denise now:She is so pretty!! I would kill for those eyebrows (I'm sure i'm not the only one...Blake McIver Ewing)
If you care, here's Denise's Myspace.

Nicky and Alex. Twin boys who looked like twin girls. I enjoyed Nicky and Alex because they took air time away from the Comedy stylings of Joey Gladstone and Comet, the most annoying dog in the world. I prayed nightly that they wouldn't grow up to look like Haley Joel Osment, because that is a fear of most people watching children grow up. And praise Jebus, they are normal! Yeah, I don't know if this is Nicky or Alex, but really - they're twins. You get the idea. If the other twin was a goth freak or a woman now, don't you think I'd search for hours for photographic evidence?
I couldn't find a Myspace. I think they may be Mormons or something.

My least favorite of Michelle's friends (shit, she had a lot of "friends") was Aaron. That kid was such a dick! I swear to god, if I was Uncle Jesse, I would have hit that kid everytime he made fun of me for being unemployed. Ew, just looking at him made me want to punchasize his face.I honestly didn't think this kid was going to make it to 13. But, what do I know? Looks like he had some protective big brothers, cause Miko Hughes is still alive (wtf? His name is Miko?!?)Aw, what a cutie! He was a cute asshole 5 year old and now he's a cute 19 year old who shook allthat asshole-dom. Good for him. He's actually worked a tonne after Full House, which is good. Cause Full House was like career suicide; a steady paycheque for 8 years, and only 8 years.

I don't have a picture of the last Full House kid when he was little, but seriously. This guy hasn't aged a bit. He still looks like an 8 year old (but I think that's because of a degenerative aging disorder). He was in Stephanie's class and his name was Walter. He was basically the Aaron Bailey of Stephanie's class.Well, his name is Whitby Hertford and he scares me. A lot. I actually can't look into his eyes because I get the creeps. However, I will give mad props to whoever can name the short-lived HBO sketch comedy show he appeared in a fake-commercial for.
This guy definately doesn't have a Myspace. Thank god.
