While We Were Out
Well folks, it happened. We ran out of stuff to write. We both sat down to come up with some incredibly witty and irreverent and awesome stuff and nothing came out. I think that the post about the worst way for a rat to die was really a warning sign of some deeper problem.
So we stopped for a while. And, while we were gone, all sorts of stuff happened, like:
- Our favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance had a “Best Routines” show and it sucked
- President Obama gave a back-to-school message to the nation’s children and conservatives everywhere acted like their kids were being shown that tape in The Ring
- 76 vampire books and movies came out
- Jon hates Kate’s guts. And rightfully so, she seemed like a bitch
- Zero good TV shows aired
- That family in Arkansas with 18 kids just had #19
- Starbucks reinstated the coveted Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Febreeze reinstated our favorite scent, Autumn Spice
- A 17-year old became the most popular woman in New York… at least to people who like tennis
- Football came back and in related news, ESPN passed out in complete sexual ecstasy
- The Red Sox/Yankees/Dodgers played a game on ESPN and in related news, ESPN passed out in complete sexual ecstasy
- The fall version of seasonal allergies officially began
- School-age boys everywhere went to their first class and were either really pumped or really disappointed at the amount of hot girls that came into their class
- Brad Pitt solidified his position as the coolest person in the world
- One of your Surly Bird authors realized his DVD collection is horrible
- Someone gave birth on Labor Day… so cliché
- Lady Gaga probably came out with a new single and video and continued to where dumb clothes and glasses
- Somebody decided to be The Crow for Halloween
What did we miss out on, dear readers? We know it’s been a while, so what’s been going on around the world that’s worthy of a mention?
Thank god you’re back!!!
I heard some senator died.
Missed you Birds!
Um, remember when Ellen was a judge on SYTYCD? She had comments that made you laugh, she is good at making things up off the cuff, but by the end of the episode it got old (or so I thought). Well, get ready for more. Word on the street is that Ellen will be the fourth full-time judge on Idol. Really Idol? Really?? Did I miss something? Did Ellen have a brief music career between the TV show and the talkshow? How is she qualified to be a judge of music?
Just wondering. Luckily I only watch the first and last weeks of Idol, so I am not too concerned. Just thought it was an interesting choice.
