How Did I Miss This? BBQ Chip Bandits

“SAANICH — Two university students were arrested Tuesday after a report of a burglary on Foul Bay Road.

A woman, alone in her home, heard people in her garage and immediately called police.

Investigators discovered two women in their twenties nearby. The two were intoxicated and had walked into an open garage to steal Zellers brand BBQ potato chips.

The open bag of chips was also found in the area.

Police are recommending charges of break and enter against the two women. “

But We’re All Fans of Tight Pants

Bless his heart. I leave The Rocket Scientist messages like this every day, and the dude still wants to marry me.

Snooty British Skype Answering Machine Voice:

The person you’re trying to reach is unavailable. Please leave a message.

Katie:

Hey hon. I was on my way to Zumba this morning and the car in front of me had a license plate that I thought read “BSBFAN,” which I thought meant the driver loved The Backstreet Boys. I was about to go ‘Right on, woman!’, or man, since, really The Backstreet Boys are for all people – for the world – when I realized the plate actually said “BSBLFAN,” and they loved baseball, and not awesome boy bands. I was disappointed, but then we danced to Britney Spears AND Shakira at Zumba and that made things better.

Right now I can only imagine that TRS is just happy we won’t have a car in Germany, thereby severely limiting my vanity plate possibilities. Maybe a little something for my bicycle?

 

Protest Songs and Crunchy Frogs

Spending the afternoon cleaning and cooking, all the while listening to Dead Parrot Society.

Best Spam Ever

There’s the usual spam, and then there’s spam gold.

This comment, for Chelsie’s latest lamp post, is as shiny as spam can get. I love it and I can’t bring myself to delete it.

She had always hated that lamp, but had kept it out of …
what?
Not love, because I don’t want to say she loved him. Not admiration, because that sounds stupid.

Kept it out of SOMETHING for Derek.

Derek is her ex boyfriend but when she got the lamp they were together and anandnanda I want to say that she didn’t want to hurt his feelings.

affection? Damn it!

This took effort, you literary spammer, you. And for that I tip my imaginary hat.

Update: The spam’s been deleted. I suspect Chelsie.

Holiday Movie Break #4

It’s “holiday” movie time at Casa de Katie (the term “holiday” used loosely because the viewing roster includes such classics as She-Ra, Princess of Power) and I think you should join me.

Enjoy!

Love Actually

I still remember loading my friends into the car (including Chels and Millie, methinks) and driving two towns over to see this on the big screen. This is a film I’d happily watch all year, but it seems blasphemous to view outside of December. So I watch it a lot in December.

Urglepants, “disabled by request.” Oh, well. Be sure to read The Hairpin’s article on why this movie is awful, actually. My counter to all those arguments? Colin Firth. ‘Nuff said.

 

Holiday Movie Break #3

Enjoy!

Mame

I’m currently holding auditions for bosom buddies who’ll perform musical numbers with me.

 

Holiday Movie Break #2

Bridget Jones’s Diary

Truly, this is a movie for all seasons, but it seems especially appropriate for the holidays. Enjoy the best fight scene ever made.

And even though the sequel was paltry in comparison, it did teach me some German.

Fun With Search Terms

And the search term hits just keep on coming! Today’s gems include:

  • “people who look like catfish”
  • “d.i.y. sucks cow”
  • “foam shark costume”
  • “fisher discoman” [I wish it was the "fisherman disco"]
  • “calvin and hobbes naked”
  • “pooping forest”
  • “guinea pig wearing clothes”

I hope the people who look like catfish get invited to the fisherman disco once one gets started. It only seems fair.

This Just In: World Depleted of Feathers and Sequins

Oh, chicken dumplings, it’s my favorite time of year again! Yes, it’s finally arrived: the Miss Universe pageant. And that means only one thing: wackadoodle national costumes. Remember last year’s? Here’s the full list in all its sequined and scaffolded glory. Some are lovely, most are not, and the Caribbean nations are now collectively responsible for a world full of naked birds.

Some highlights:

Miss Canada

Vagina dentata! Also, cultural appropriation. Both are wrong and scary.

Miss Chile

Just in time for Halloween: Sexy Miner.

Miss Cyprus

The latest in reusable shopping bag chic.

Miss France

Is she seriously offering us cake? Off with her head!

Miss Haiti

We already established that teeth shouldn’t grow out of your girly bits, and neither should trees.

Miss Ireland

Every year someone brings a sword…or two. It is nice to see a way to recycle those CD sleeves we all hung on our walls, though.

Miss Netherlands

There’s a crown and there’s a ship and I know one of them goes on my head…

Miss Nigeria

Nigeria: the world’s largest exporter of Red Rageous Mike and Ikes.

Miss Puerto Rico

The only Caribbean contestant not drowning in feathers. Because she’s a mutant alien lizard instead.

Miss Tanzania

And when the mutant alien lizards attack, I’m hiding behind Miss Tanzania and her unicorn-human hybrid army.

Finally, my homeland. Known for our subtlety and class.

Miss USA

It’s like being flashed by Betsey Ross.

Will you watch the pageant tonight? I’ve got five bucks that says Miss Tanzania and Miss Guyana get into a spike fight.

St. Patrick’s Day a la Muppets

St. Patrick’s Day is almost over, but there’s always time for the Swedish Chef, Animal and Beaker!
