Oh Sarah Palin! Less then one week out of office and everyone still hates you. I mean not as much as they hate universal heathcare apparently, but, you know. There’s hate. Can we find some new people to be mad at? Let’s just go after all the iPhone users, OK? – Kiran
Yup – everyone ends up somewhere. Whether it’s sitting in front of the tv watching bad family shows or stuck in a nuclear fueled rocket being propelled into the earth’s core or sitting through 25 more minutes of a movie you didn’t like the first time. Everything has its place. – Kiran
SMILE OF THE DAY
Grrrrrr….There is nothing more irritating than our next door neighbor Candace. Last week, she made sure everyone at Gymboree knew that she really admired marathon runners and that she was training for a half-marathon herself. Who does that? Pointless overachievers! Yesterday, she claimed that she had excavated a gilt-laden vessel of a Pharaoh’s ashes from the tombs of Egypt when she was 3 months old. Who does that? Archeology freaks! And just today, she casually mentioned that she got her gig as a personal assistant to Dora the Explorer after jumping into Boot’s LAX-bound limo and making an hourlong pitch and she is proud of that fact. Who does that? I would never do any of those things – and that my friends is your public service announcement for today. – Shaan
SMILE OF THE DAY
So far, this is what I know about British people: They are classy, sip tea, say “Cheerio!” and like to fly away on umbrellas or magical four-poster beds. And they make the best vampires – they also make good crooks. – Shaan
OMG!! A replica of a Triceratops skull costs $125,000. That’s so wrong. Wrong for the dinosaurs. Wrong for the economy. Wrong for plus-size shoppers. Wrong for baguette-swallowers. Just plain wrong. – Shaan
While Mom and Dad stay a few extra days in San Diego, I’ll be spending my time sunning my guns and lats and chest and all my other important man parts. – Kiran
THE SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON
Here we are at the San Diego Comic-Con. Judging from the teeming mass of people, I guarantee that if the Sci-Fi enthusiasts – who generally carry the Y-chromosome – get in the way of the estrogen frenzied New Moon fans there will be mayhem.
Exhibitors at the Supernatural Beings Awareness booth were passing out these handy-dandy sweatbands and we learned a few things about Shapeshifters:
1. Shapeshifters can turn into any animal, but lean towards dogs, because everyone loves dogs.
2. They can’t do humans—too complex.
3. Shapeshifters can usually control their ductile impulse, except on a full-moon night. (But that DOESN’T make them a werewolf – but yes, werewolves do exist.)
Rumor has it that Woody and his co-workers are having trouble convincingly faking their delight over Buzz Lightyear’s popularity at the Comic-Con this year. First and foremost among the group would be Mr. Potatohead, with one source claiming the starchy native had gotten “catty” with the space suited hero before adding, “Come on, Slinky. Let’s go play Wii Fit,” and storming out of the cafeteria.
As some of you know, tomorrow we will be making our annual trip to the Comic-Con in San Diego. This year we’ll be learning “How To Improve Your Interstellar Combat Using High-Energy Beams And Force Shields” and meeting our favorite bespandexed Justice League members. Please check back with us on Monday for all new photos and posts. Ciao everyone! – Kiran
