Happy Valentine's Day

This gave me a case of the giggles.

 

Lady Gaga is MONEY! Or Is George Washington In Drag?

Sketch artist Craig Gleason (site NSFW) has drawn some of Lady Gaga's more interesting looks over George Washington's portrait on the dollar bill, creating what can best be described as our Founder Father in drag.  Or maybe this is what Gaga's and Washington's love child would look like if they had a bad romance.  Either way, I'm intrigued.

Amazingly awesome or hideously creepy?

Which is your favorite?

      

     

Ryan James Yezak Does Lady Gaga's Telephone

Ryan James Yezak presents Lady Gaga's Telephone, starring Scott Nelson as Lady Gaga and Luna Flare as Beyonce.

The first half of the video was unimpressive to me, but got much better the second half.  I don't know which was more distracting:  Scott Nelson's over-the-top lip syncing or Luna Flare's inability to lip sync at all.   However, there is an interesting "battle" between "Lady Gaga" and "Beyonce"  right around the 2:00 mark that I found both amusing and creative.

And does anyone else think that Luna Flare looks more like J. Lo than Beyonce???

Thoughts?

Did You Actually LOL?

It's no secret how I feel about the initialism lol; I've written about it before.  But this cartoon basically sums up what's really going on.  Lately, I've been reading, "I'm actually loling," because everybody now knows that mostly likely you're not.

7 Years of Buffy in Under 4 Minutes

One of the best shows every created?  I think so!  And don't forget to check out Edward Cullen stalking Buffy!

Now who wants to buy me the Buffy iPhone skin?

The Longest Way

This video isn't exactly new, but I think it's incredible.  It's a stop-motion video of Christoph Rehage's attempt at a 4,500 mile journey from Beijing, China to Berlin, Germany on foot.  Though he stopped short after a year and 2,900 miles, Rehange managed to accomplish something that most of us can only dream of.

Watch his hair and beard grow longer each day as he chronicles his impressive trek with photographs along the way.

Awe, 5 More Misteaks To Lern, Than You Will Passed Your Test

 

I previously wrote a post titled 10 Commin Grammer Mistackes That Which Make Yourself Look Like a Idiot...lol (somebody actually wrote to tell me that I spelled "mistake" incorrectly) and I got a lot of positive responses from it.  In addition to the ten I previously wrote about, there are five other basic mistakes that I've been noticing.

In the interest of helping those who need it and easing my irritation, I'm going to list those common mistakes:

5.)  Past vs Passed

The word past refers to time and can be a noun, adjective or preposition.

• Noun (what has already happened):  "I've read that in the past."
• Adjective (gone by or ended):  "This past week was a busy one."
• Preposition (beyond or by): "I ran past three joggers today."

The word passed is a verb and refers to motion.  It is the past tense of pass.

• "I passed all of my exams today."
• "Jim hit me in the head when he passed the ball to me."

4.)  Than vs Then

The word than is used to compare.

• Greg is taller than I am. *(And he likes to talk about it all the time)

The word then is used to indicate time, next in order and in that case

• "Prices were lower then."
• "I read two chapters of my book then went to sleep."
• "If you want to go with me, then you'll have to help pay for gas."

3.)  Yeah, Yea, Ya

The word yeah is the casual form of yes.

• Yeah, I'll be there on time.

The word yea is a dated way of saying yes and is mainly used for voting.  It is the opposite of, and rhymes with, "nay."  "Aye" is more commonly used.

• Let the record show that Senator Burris voted yea."

The word ya can technically mean "yes," but more commonly it means "you" (rhymes with duh). 

• I'll be seeing ya.
• Yeah, I'll see ya at the store.

2.)  Awe vs Aww

This mistake has been more and more prevalent lately.

Awe is an adjective indicating wonder or amazement.

• I am in awe of the size of that Christmas tree.

Aww is an exclamation provoked by something cute or sad (sometimes extra 'w's are added for emphasis).

• Aww, isn't that puppy cute!
• Awww, that's sad that you failed the test.

*Remember, you cannot use the word awe as an exclamation.  Think of awe-struck or shock and awe.

1.)  Lie vs Lay

Lie means to recline.

• "I need to lie down."

Lay means to put or place.  It's a transitive verb, which means you need both a subject AND an object.

• "You can lay your coat on my bed."

*Two sentences that help me remember this:  People lie.  Lay it on me.

Of course, it does get a little tricker in the past tense because the word lay is the past tense of the word lie (laid is the past tense of lay):

• "Yesterday I lay in bed for three hours.  Today I'm only going to lie in bed for two hours."

****Definitely is the most common misspelled word in the English language.  It is NOT definately. 

•  "There definitely is not an 'a' in the word definitely."

What common mistakes do you see on a daily basis that frustrate you?

Gay Parody of Talk To The Moose

A gay parody of everyone's favorite Gap commercial, Talk to the Moose.

"I love my comfy sweater.  I love my comfy sweater.  How cute are these boots?  How cute are these boots?"

Alyssa Milano Becomes a Jersey Shore Guidette

Like many others, I have taken to the tragic mess that is known as Jersey Shore.  I still can't believe that people act in such a manner.  I mostly watch in horror and disgust, but it's entertainment nonetheless.  

In this funny video, Alyssa Milano is transformed into a fist-pump-worthy,  bottle-tanned, hoochified guidette.  That's the situation.  

Lady GaGa as a Sim in Bad Romance

An incredible shot-by-shot 2D video of Lady GaGa's Bad Romance.  Clearly a lot of work and time went into this video.  I never get sick of watching the original video...this just adds to it.
