Are you a geek, pop culture expert or just love the Internet to death?  Or a cool person who just likes to wear funny shirts?

If you want to let the world know how much you love 2009 movies like The Hangover or really wanted to know where to buy Adventureland tshirts,  this is a place that I just happened to run across.

Like most of you, I’m watching my pennies and could not believe their low prices and FREE SHIPPING on single U.S. orders.  They also have a gallery of regular folks like you and me who love to get their geek on.

These folks also have belt buckles and other serious conversation pieces.  If you still have questions about the power of a tee, check out these t-shirt answers!

      

at a restaurant. I'm guilty of the same crime myself and actually got mad every time I would go through a "salad phase", my clothes that didn't already stretch got tighter after a couple of weeks.

According to this article, unless one of those wonderful salads is your meal for the entire day (which dietitians don't recommend, btw), you may want to add that to that "special day list" we all have. You know, treat yourself to that ... << MORE >>

REAL NAME - Velveeta Jones (yeah, my mother really wanted for me to stand out in a crowd)

FORMER OCCUPATION - Machinist (for the last time, this is the truth)

PETS - One sexy cat named Casper that I spoil to death because she's always between my legs and Siamese whose name escapes at the moment

HOBBIES - Flying, social intercourse with complete strangers, hosting intimate dinner parties, even if they're at someone else's ... << MORE >>

I had a close friend who was pretty inspirational to me and helped me become the woman I am today. He worked construction during the day and had his own auto shop. From him I learned the importance of being independent and the long term benefits of steady, hard work. One day out of nowhere it seemed his dislike for taking a vacation caught up to him.   Had he taken a little more time to smell the roses ... << MORE >>

Should Little Red Riding Hood give that wolf a can of whoop-ass?  Or how awesome it would be to cross Three Little Pigs with Reservoir Dogs?  Do you miss that Fractured Fairies segment of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons or are you like me, a serious fan of Tex Avery?

There was a time when I used to buy my printer cartridge ink from those off-price stores. Now, I like them for random deals but when it came to printer ink, they rarely had what I needed in stock. Some retailers can be pricey and the cost of printer in ends being more than what a person paid for the printer itself. Well, I found this store that has all sorts of deals on name brand Discount Printer Ink Cartridges 24/7, 365 days a year as ... << MORE >>

Normally, I'm not much on self-deprecating humor, especially when it comes to being a large woman. So last week when I opened my mailbox to see the words 'Fat Bitch' contained  in the message, I thought this must be some Comic View reject performing in someone's back yard. Anyway, if you read the message and click the link, hopefully you'll come away with a smile like I did.

I can remember dabbling on MS Publisher 97 around '98/99 at break time and saying to myself, "One day."  Then when I got a desktop publishing program that wasn't as expensive as PageMaker (yeah, I'm THAT old) but still took its sweet time loading, I was still convinced that my ideas would be right alongside HUES and other similar publications.  Well, it's a few yrs later and like a lot a publishing houses, its a struggle to stay afloat - in print.

Even online, it can be challenge to make some profound statement about womanhood when the 'net is flooded with heroes gone astray such as Gloria Allred, who is representing one of Tiger Woods mistresses for the name of $.  I tried to ignore the whole thing, even his stoic apology speech this past Friday.  Then when side booty # whatever demanded an apology, I was through. 

I could tolerate decent looking women with no skills pawing over and chain-kissing some rock/rap dude from the 80s.  Palin seems cartoony at times and now we've got some non-white, female rapper with more plastic parts than Angelyne, calling herself a "barbie" (the acronym is too long and plus she's a damn Lil Wayne protegee) so I'll leave that where it is.

Anyhoo, hope you're enjoying Miss Fitts, she's coming up in a little bit.

Everyone needs to blow off some steam once in a while. It’s a part of life itself. Maybe it's that hateful job that you must keep so that bills get paid, your spouse gets on your nerves or those kids just won't leave you the hell alone!

Don't chance an assault charge and possibly do time, spend quality time in Las Vegas instead.

Whether a weekend with friends, get hitched or just to relax, Las Vegas is the place for shopping and sightseeing - even if you’re on a budget. You can also catch some excellent shows like Bon Jovi, Santana, boxing, or performances by funny folks like David Spade.

There’s nothing like seeing a Las Vegas comedy

In fact,one of my greatest regrets in life was missing out on a road trip to see the late comedian Redd Foxx. The day I finally agreed to go was shortly before he ‘came to join Elizabeth’ for good. I kid you not.

So take a few dollars of that mad money you've been putting aside and just go! You don’t have to be like those guys from The Hangover but have fun anyway.

      

Courtesy of CNN, actor-director Kevin Smith tells via Twitter of a recent experience flying Southwest Airlines. Seatbelt extenders are a nice concept but they don't act as a girdle to prevent girth from spilling over into next seat. This is why he, and others buy a second seat or upgrade to business class (which is probably what I'll do on my next flight).
Yeah, a few years before having a big butt ... << MORE >>

I'm not telling you to go out and spend money on someone
Though if they were a good friend overall, it would be nice
Doesn't matter how attractive they are
Or what kind of places they got you into
At the same time, it's not good to spend money just because
It's V-Day
For some it means the day they got ... << MORE >>

Currently, I have no kids and even after reading this quote from singer/actress Jill Scott, I hope this will change - even if it means adoption. Though at one time, I was godmother of two and neither of their mothers spoke the truth like this. It was always mumbled or something

Many folks I've known who have relocated say they will never miss things like traffic, crime and the overall high cost of living. Yet, they do complain that there is almost nothing to do or see compared to big city life.

I recently bought the latest issue of BUST since I liked America Ferrera way before Ugly Betty (FYI, if you can buy the Real Women Have Curves DVD, I highly recommend it - even in this economy).
