LET US BE GREAT!

6 Aug

So, Facebook has this “feature” that, apparently, I’m the last to discover.  When you’re stalking someone on someone’s page, you can click a link and get taken to an e-summary of your relationship.  This summary is based solely on Facebook activity between the two of you.

According to Mr. Zuckerberg, Claire and I have been friends since August of 2007, although I didn’t like her until May 2008.  I know this because I still have the ballot from when we voted on it (inside joke!).

Regardless, you can tell a lot about us from this little page.  Continue reading

If you have to be at work for 24 hours….

…you might as well be working on a piece about this concert?

I think George Harrison is my favorite Beatle.  Even though he’s the “quiet one” and I’m not.

Every now and then, reporters need help rounding out their stories, especially on deadline.    Maybe you are doing a story on Harry Potter, and you need some sort of  anthropologist to talk about the generation of kids who grew up with the franchise.  So, you’d send out a request to a bunch of PR people, and hope that someone out there knows someone else who can help.  Or, maybe this happens: Continue reading

Antelope v. Reindeer

8 Jul

Some people mix them up, okay?  They both frolic, they both have horn things, they both think the caribou totally sold out…  I’m sure I can’t be the only person in the world to get them confused when requesting their likeness on a cake pop.  Sigh.  If only there was a scientist or something to explain the difference….  Wait, is it…Friday?

Molly:  hi.  do you have anyone at your institution who could explain what the difference between a reindeer and an antelope is? Continue reading

Somehow*, Claire and I got on the topic of that red carpet magazine party she went to a few years ago.  You know, the one where she made out with Lou Reed or whatever.  Anyway, she was bemoaning the fact that her photo slaves peeps never found a photo of the two of them from it.  I, being the superior investigative journalist, decided to do some digging.  Ladies and gentlemen of the blaudience (that means blog-audience), I give you….Claire’s hand.

Exhibit A: The following transcription of a voicemail I left Mene.

Hi many, it’s, Molly, I can’t track star driving anymore. And. Hey, it’s me bye, I. I feel like I’m on crack addict and he took away my crack and if you’d like.

Baby Got Front

From The Sun UK

So, as you can see from this picture, Sheyla Hershey has a great personality.  A really, really great one.  On a scale from 1 – 10, I’d give it a 38KKK.

Oh.  She also has the world’s largest breasts, and recently got sick because of it or something.

Claire didn’t really care about that.  “Damn,” she said.   “I don’t think I have enough chest skin to stretch over something like that.”

Unlike most of the things Claire says, that’s actually a valid point.

PAGING DR. MD!  Continue reading
