WTF Friday - Now with Poop

The other night, I stayed out way too late with my favorite Spice Girl, i.e. my best friend. And eventually, we started talking about how we'd love to take another vacation together. Which is dangerous.

We went to Mexico once, and one night we decided to check out the band at the salsa club. I love salsa, and I've never been salsa dancing, so when a pair of guys asked us to dance, we said very clearly that we weren't there to pick anyone up, but if they just wanted to dance, we would love to.

Yeah, that worked real well.

We danced for a while and eventually decided to head back to our hotel. The guys offered us a ride; we said no. So you can imagine our surprise when they pulled up outside our hotel just as we were walking up.

"Can we come in?" they said.

"BLEEP no!" said we.

"But please," said one. "I have to POOP."

Needless to say, we did not let them in to our room. And we had the giggles for about six hours. To this day, you can say, "I have to POOP" to either of us, and we'll laugh uproariously.

In other news, I think this is awesome. Nothing like a knitted dissection to up one's happiness quotient.

Reading and Writing, But No 'Rithmetic

I've been reading up a storm this month. So far, I've read the Cybils YA finalists:

• Blue Plate Special, by Michelle D. Kwasney
  
• Carter Finally Gets It, by Brent Crawford
  
• Cracked Up To Be, by Courtney Summers
  
• How to Say Goodbye in Robot, by Natalie Standiford
  
• Into the Wild Nerd Yonder, by Julie Halpern
  
• North of Beautiful, by Justina Chen Headley
  
• Wintergirls, by Laurie Halse Anderson

That gives me a pretty good start on PJ Hoover's Read A Bunch of Books Challenge. Last year, it was the Read 50 Books Challenge. This year, she's doing 75. And PJ is so kewl, that I have to automatically do what she does, so I'll read 75 too. Hee.

Anyway, I'm not posting any reviews for these books just yet, because all of us Cybils judges are sworn to secrecy. I was hoping for a sekrit handshake too, but that hasn't happened yet. I may have to make up a sekrit handshake with myself, which is pretty pitiful. But as I've said repeatedly, I have no shame.

But enough about me. What are YOU reading? And is it snarfy? I need to populate the rest of my reading list!

Things That Make Me Snarf - Emo Vampire Song

If Nossie from my story "Nosferatu and the Nancy Boys" had a theme song, this would totally be it.

Lolzombie of the Day - Footloose

Continuing our tradition of lolzombies spoofing dance movies, I give you:

THE FOOTLOOSE LOLZOMBIE.

If you didn't read that aloud in a booming voice, you did it wrong. I'll forgive you, of course, but I wanted you to know.

Party on, Leia and Yoda!

I want to go to this dinner party.

And now, you will waste the rest of your Friday dorking around with this, just like I have. At least we're partners in procrastination...

WTF Thursday - Now With Kirk!

Last night, Slayer and I discovered something really interesting. When I'm unable to breathe, I turn into Captain Kirk. I think it would be kewl if other random things had similar effects. Like eating donuts could turn me into a zombie penguin, and having the hiccups could turn me into a cyborg cow. And seeing a mullet could make me turn into a Yeti.

I saw a stuffed Yeti at the store the other day. Let me say it again: stuffed Yeti. Don't those words just make you feel LOVELY?

I'm the stunt Yeti. Please don't hold it against me.
Just another reason to vote for Carrie as president! Zombie dance movies AND cyborg cows, what else is there in life?

Lolzombie of the Day - Fame

I want to live forever!

Um, actually, I don't. But it seemed like a good introduction to this lolzombie.



I only seems natural to me. If zombies can do Thriller, they should populate every dance movie for the rest of time. I'll admit it: I loves me some dance movies. But the plots are always disposable. I just want to see the swank dance numbers. The natural solution? Zombies. They can get their swerve on with the best of them.

This is why I should be a politician. I'm all about thinking outside the box to solve the world's problems.
