I got to interview Karl from Secondhand Tryptophan, who I actually already know pantloads about. But like any typical woman, I wanted to know more. And like any typical man, he was thrilled to talk about himself. Go see what he had to say!
Schmutzie will be interviewing me and I’ll be happy to post it once it’s all done!
*********************************
A couple of things I noticed today while re-booting the laundry:
My kids had left the t.v on and I heard an announcer say Bratz Babies. *Double take*
What?
Those Bratz whores are already shooting out kids? Niice.
Also, just before I shut the t.v off, another commercial came on for Mini Pops. I didn’t even know such a thing existed but the commercial was like a trainwreck – I couldn’t look away. I wondered if the former Barney Robo-Kids had grown up to be Mini Pops.
Here’s the Modern Day version of the MP’s:
We flying first class up in the sky
Pop the champagne
Living the life in the fast lane
Watching the kids sing those lyrics made me howl. As if they even know what champagne is. First class? Not as a Mini Pop, man. Alfonso Ribeiro would be riding First Class before you and dude can’t even get into Hyde.
This is even more painful – the UK version of the Mini Pops from long ago, with commentary from former Mini Pops, who I’m sure are all in shock therapy now.
“They’re always looking slightly off-camera like they’re being threatened.”
Confession Time: As a child, I always wanted to be a K-Tel Mini Pop. Sad and pathetic, but true.

Six Things Mini Complaint Letters I Will Never Send
Dear Toronto Star: I don’t LIVE in (or anywhere NEAR) Toronto and do not want your newspaper. I’ve asked to be removed from your telemarketing list 10+ times!
Dear East Side Marios: Your restaurant is filthy disgusting (literally grimy fake windows next to our booth) and our kids really loved the peeling paint coming off their triple mini-cone holders. Hope it wasn’t laden with LEAD.
Dear Kraft: We will never buy your shredded cheddar again. We have just returned bag # 3 that was FILLED WITH MOLD. My best girlfriend across the country has had it happen to her twice too. Yuck.
Dear Goodlife: Thanks for FINALLY CALLING. Thanks also for brushing off your craptastic ability to return emails and phone calls and get things done. The trainer who finally called me had NO idea what happened and that I’d already had 6 sessions. Also? She didn’t really give a crap. What are we at now? Week 13 since I first asked for a transfer?
Dear Loblaws: Your produce is SUCKING. I know it’s winter but the discount supermarkets who don’t bag our crap have way better produce. Lower prices = higher turnover = better produce. Win win for me, sucka.
Dear People Who Have an Offer on Our House: Please hurry up and sell yours. You have until February 8th to do so, but you’re making us close February 29th and with our busy schedule and the way the weekends fall, this means we have to secure a rental home and move by February 17th. NINE DAYS. I sure hope you don’t leave it to the last minute to sell yours.
Because I’m extra-memetastic today and I’ve been really busy drawing monkeys for this lovely lady over the last 48 hours, I have to share this other meme I’ve seen everywhere, but most recently at Christina’s A Mommy Story:
Want to be a rockstar? I am:
Meh. More like an 18 year old emo kid or something. Start to become…familiar with black nail polish.
Want to be a rockstar, too? Follow these steps:
1. Click this link. The first title on this page is the name of your band.
2. Now click this link. The last four words of the very last quote is the name of your album. If it doesn’t work at all, click the “New Random Quotations” button for more.
3. And finally, click this link. The third picture on this page will be your album cover. Add your band name and album title, and you’re done! (Please remember to give credit for the original picture.)
Lots of people have played this one, so feel free if you’re bored – it’s kinda fun!
One last thing: My 18 year old cousin has been nominated for a Bloggie! She’s in the teen category – so vote for her! She is amazing, honest, and very creative. She’s been through a lot and has a good head on her shoulders. I’m so proud of her.
