Jealous Bitch Takes A Hiatus

Yes, I am taking a short break (Stop crying. No really. Stop. You're making a fool of yourself). I am off to visit family and friends in Cali and Nevada for Thanksgiving. I'm taking lots of pictures to show you all later. And of course stories about my family. Stay tuned...
Peace & Love,

The post in which my mind snaps.

I just saw someone on TV ask Joe Piscipo a question about politics. Politics. And then he answered. And then they responded back to his answer. Like this was all perfectly normal. To be sitting on a news show. Asking Joe Piscopo about politics. Like this wasn't a completely insane thing that confirms we are all living in some alternate reality controlled by space aliens who are keeping us confined for their amusement and possbile research in some sort of cyberspace zoo that looks and feels just like our real world. Except in theirs Joe Piscopo talks about politics. This Joe Piscopo. This Joe Piscopo.


This Joe Piscopo.

At least they didn't make you go to "Circus Circus"

I didn't do my regular "Top Chef" live tweet, BUT this week's episode had something that so profoundly touched my very soul I would be remiss if I didn't mention it.

The "cheftestants" (that is seriously the fucking stupidest word ever) were each assigned a different casino in Vegas, where the show is taping, and asked them to draw inspiration from landmarks such as the Bellagio, the Mirage, New York, New York and others.


OK normally...I wouldn't even post about this, because I know most of you view Bravo reality shows in the same way you view watching slides from your Aunt Betty's vacation to Kissimmee, 90% of which are photos of her luggage, hotel bathroom, or the cats she left behind. Or black frames where she forgot to take the lens cap off but still keeps them in slide reel and insists on explaining to you in great length what she was trying to take a picture of. (Usually another cat or piece of luggage).

So I wouldn't make a post about it....except one of the "cheftestants" (yeah it is seriously annoying) was assigned to Las Vegas' most awesome casino EVER, The Excalibur....and failed to come up with anything that inspired her about it.

What? Are you fucking kidding me? Hello IT'S A FREAKING CASINO BASED OFF AN ARTHURIAN LEGEND. I mean that basically writes itself. And they sent her to the absolutely awesome TOURNAMENT OF KINGS show.





Let me tell you something. I have been to Excalibur's Tournament of King's show (shut up) and the food was really freaking awesome. Eating a whole chicken with your hands and swallowing mug of beer the size of a Buick is purely transcendental. Also a drunk stripper vomited on her date behind me, and a midget punched a dude dressed as what I can only describe as a cross between "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "Figment" from Epcot's "World of Imagination". Then a German lady asked me if she could take a picture of my feet. Who the hell would not be inspired by that awesomeness?

This casino is so fucking awesome I once got married there. And I will just leave you all to ponder that shit for awhile.

Peace & Love,

Clash of the Titans Trailer: Harry Hamlin Inexplicably MIA

Hey here's something completely unexpected. Hollywood decided to go and remake another old movie that was marginally successful and has no one at all clamouring for a remake. Except maybe Harry Hamlin, who's last good acting job was convincing America the actually finds Lisa Rina attractive and doesn't want to stab himself repeatedly for marrying such a stupid person.

Anyway, here's the trailer:






"Titans Will Clash" is sort of a horrible tagline. But other than that I sort of do want to see this. I have a life long love affair with classic mythology; nothing beats stories of Olympian Gods molesting innocent women and turning them into cows so their vengeful wives don't find out or things involving people eating things they really shouldn't. Chan-wook Park really has nothing on these bitches. I hope we get more of this stuff. I mean if we're going to recycle every single 70s sitcom/80s cop drama/90s Saturday Night Live sketch...why not make use the best material ever to make films out of? Here's to hoping Hollywood busts out a copy of Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" and starts cranking 'em out.

BEHOLD FRANCO

In a move that has confounded everyone who doesn't smoke pot (or just smokes pot sometimes or smokes pot a lot but still doesn't understand why an movie star would do this) James Franco recently announced he would be appearing as a guest star on the ABC soap "General Hospital".

Today, we see the first footage of the God of Franco, gracing us mere mortals with his presence, for all to behold and hail. I must warn you....those of you who are sensitive to extreme sex hottness, please do not view this video:



Yes. Behold Franco. In all as resplendent glory. Behold. Franco.

Hollwood Corral!!!

Yee-haw!! It's time for my weekly "Hollywood Corral" where I "giddy-up" all the best gossip for you. So let's get on to the hootenan---


OK I know that was totally lame. Sorry. It's just that I decided to consolidate all of my gossip/celeb stories and all the best names for gossip columns are already taken by other bloggers. Which really doesn't excuse the 27 cowgirl pictures I downloaded for this. Or the $97.99 I just spent on a cowgirl costume and stuffed pony. Not for pictures for the blog...just to help me get in the mood. Anyhoo onto to the bitchiness.....

First of all, Tom Hanks came out and proclaimed his love for Beyonce's "Single Ladies". Good to know he is only about a year and half behind the rest of humanity. He was quoted as saying:

"Dada-dada ring on it! Dada-dada ring on it!...That is a damn fine song, the Beyonce song ..."

Apparently Tom Hanks has turned into my mom, because this is pretty much exactly how she remembers songs she likes. I wonder if he calls up his kids at night going "What is this song that goes 'da da hum hum something girl something yes'...you know, the one from that guy who is a singer?" like my mom does.


Miley Cyrus went to an Outback in New York City and didn't tip on a $70 bill. And then the Internet made fun of her for going to the Outback. In New York City. And spending $70. I was going to make some "but dude Outback is so awesome" joke, but no they really are crappy. I mean when there is a Sizzler she could go to.

They are making a Blair Witch Project 3. I will give those of you who just threw up on your keyboards from remembering how crappy Blair Witch 2 was a moment to clean up.

Jody Sweetin of "Full House" says that she snorted meth while she was at an Olsen Twins movie premiere. What she meant to say is that she snorted meth because she was at a fucking Olsen Twins movie premiere.

Despite having worked together for one of the most iconic Calvin Klein photo shoots ever, Kate Moss said that Mark Wahlberg was a "dickhead". So then Mark Wahlberg said that she "looked like my nephew." Not since Tupac and Biggie charged up the East Coast/West Coast rivalry has there ever been a more socially important celebrity conflict. I certainly hope the media keeps us readily updated on the feud between these two morons.


Tila Tequila is at it again on Twitter. This time she is lashing out at a teacher who confiscated a copy of her book. (Wait, that nitwit wrote a book?) She says:

"You want kids to read a fucking book, then let them read a fucking book, you fucking moron." and "They're stupid. I can't believe how small their brains are."

Hey, didn't she tweet something about wanting to kill herself recently? What happened with that whole thing? I mean, not that I would condone such a thing. Really.


Rivers Cuomo of what I thought was the awesome band Weezer is doing some weird things lately. A rap with Lil Wayne, a duet with Katy Perry and now this video of him singing with Leighton Meester. I would say it's because he's smoking crack, but you know even crackheads can still tell when music sucks.


Jessica Simpson came out and ripped apart the writing on Melrose Place, the show her sister was just fired from. Wow. She should get a medal for uncovering that the writing on a shitty CW soap opera that is a remake of a shitty Fox soap opera is shitty. Woodward and Bernstein are so jealous right now. You know, I was going to make a bunch of jokes about all the crappy movies she's been in. But then I found this amazing defense of her film, "Major Movie Star" (AKA "Private Valentine: Armed and Dangerous"), posted on IMDB by commenter "Blueghost". Everyone needs to read this. Immediately. Seriously, the dude wrote more about this shit movie than Einstein wrote about atoms.



Rod Stewart says that while he will continue to do crappy remakes of great old songs, he will no longer write or sing any original material. So there is a silver lining after all.



And lastly, in what can only be hailed as The Greatest News To Break In Hollywood Ever....Hugh Jackman (aka Rebecca's Mortal Enemy, aka the Biggest Douchebag Ever) WILL NOT BE BACK AS HOST OF THE OSCARS!!!! Oh happiest of happy news!! THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD GODS FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS!!! We won't be subjected to any further atrocities or torture. Also, the people of New Zealand will be spared from humiliating mistaken identifies.


I mean, he could still be there to pick up his Best Actor Oscar for this. *crosses fingers*

OK. That's all for this week. Can't wait to see who goes crazy, forgets lyrics and rips off waiters next week!

Peace and Love,

Rebecca Rose

Join Me In Doing A Good Thing

Hi People!

My best friend Kira is involved in something that I think deserves everyone's attention. Her niece has been diagnosed with a little known, and potentially serious kidney disease, Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome. This disease can lead to kidney failure in as little as 2 years. Equally terrifying is that transplants for those with Nephrotic Syndrome, have generally less than a 50% success rate as the disease continues to attack the new kidney.





To raise money, Kira and her family/friends will be participating in a walk in Los Angeles to raise funds and awareness for the NephCure Foundation. I'd like to ask all of you to take a moment away from making fun of celebrities, bitching about television shows and talking hot dudes to visit her page and consider making a donation to this very important cause.

Please give what you can! And let's all take a minute to remember this brave, totally awesome, future Jealous Bitch in the making (yup. Look at those eyes. She's one of mine. Oh hell yeah)

Kira will be walking on November 15, so hurry. There are only two weeks left to make a donation!


Peace & Love,

We have to stop saying the word "retarded". Really.


I know. For some of us, this is going to be a hard pill to swallow.

Some of us say this word a lot. We call stupid things and people we hate “retarded”. We hear dumb ideas and we think they are “retarded”. We watch crap television shows and call them “retarded”. We do it and we don’t even think about it.


See, we've assimilated this word into our slang without meaning it as being directly insulting or referring in any way to a person with an actual mental handicap. Put a person in front of us who has a form of mental retardation and we would never ever ever think using the word "retarded" is appropriate. We'd probably punch the shit out of someone who did. Right? But...put us in front of Ryan Seacrest telling another stale joke about Kim Khardashian’s bottom…and what do we do?


We call him a retard. Sometimes a fucking retard. Sometimes we get up and throw the remote at "that stupid assfaced retard!!" because we have issues controlling our anger especially when it comes to no talent celebrities who are rich and famous while we wallow in poverty. (It’s OK. Don’t be ashamed. He really does seem like there is something mentally wrong with him. So it’s understandable. Remember, admittance is the first step).

See, we're not using it in our slang to make fun of people with mental disabilities, so we think it’s A-OK! It's like we made up our own definition of the word.

"Retarded: adj. 1) Referring to something that sucks or totally sucks, beyond stupid or dumb or just lame. 2) Anyone who quotes dialogue from television shows as a means of making conversation (Family Guy, Seinfeld, Entourage, The Bachelor, etc., etc.) 3) Someone who wears anything by Ed Hardy. 4) Ed Hardy.

We use it because it somehow seeped into pop culture as an acceptable term. I mean, look at these celebrities who do it.:


Madonna called her ex-husband "retarded"

Dick Morris, political commentator and former campaign consultant to Bill Clinton, used “retarded” in a statement about President Obama’s economic plan. (For which, show host Bill O'Reilly, highly renowned for his compassion and sensitivity to minority groups, promptly apologized)

Twilight’s Kristin Stewart called rumors of her relationship with her co-star “retarded”.
And then Madonna’s husband called her sort of retarded, too!

I mean, if celebrities are doing it, it must be good!

But you know what though? There's a problem with this. A huge one.

Now, I don't believe in censorship. At all. In fact, I'm deathly afraid of it. So much so that it is my sworn mortal lifeblood enemy. Ask anyone who knows me, or has been in my presence for more than five seconds. I curse like a sailor. An extremely drunk, off-his-meds, just-got-dumped-by-his-wife-for-another-man sailor, being dragged out of a bar fight in Tijuana by five cops and a bouncer. Actually, I used to work on a Navy base. I have made sailors cringe at the dirty shit that comes out of my mouth. More than once.


But this a word that does more than express your own personal disgust for the waning quality of American television hosts. It perpetuates a cycle of ignorance. It's a word, that for millions of people, means a whole lot more than just a lame choice in clothing attire or music. It's a word mired in a history of hate and ignorance, when being "retarded" meant being institutionalized, shunned from society or worse. It's a word that has been used to segregate and isolate people simply because they are different. It's a word that's been used in anger and hatred and for a lot of people means just that.

As a matter of fact, why don't I just shut the hell up and let some other people explain this:





So join me in this funeral for the word “retarded”. It’s been fun. But it's time to let it go. I mean, do you really want to be this guy? (Oh hey...and if you think the use of the word "retard" or "retarded" is just limited to a few funny lines in "Tropic Thunder"...do a search for it on YouTube like I just spent the past hour doing. Yeah.)


But I'm not going to leave you all high and dry....



See, I have this theory about why we all like the word “retarded” so much. It's not so much because of what it specifically means. Like I said, we're not deliberately trying to insult mentally challenged peple. I think it's just the way the word rolls off the tongue....the "tard" or "tarded" part is pretty cool, actually.

So, in it's place, I would like to offer this new, highly awesome, even better word:


"Asstard". Or "asstarded".

You get the same enjoyment from the sound of the "tarded" part, but this way it doesn't offend anyone unless they are, you know, asstarded. Also it is WAY more insulting. AND it’s a curse word, to boot! Win win WIN WIN! So, if from now ever you should be forced to sit through an episode of “VH1’s Chance At Love” or you have to stand in another 25 minute line because the guy in front of you wants to write a check, and you feel compelled to define the moment with your favorite semi-dirty word…just say "asstard" or "asstarded"! (Plus, for heightened affect, you can say "fucktard".)


I predict this word will not only be easy for all of us to immediately slip into our everyday conversations (“Did you see that email from the boss? What an asstard.”) but will become a huge meme/hit throughout the Internets.

You're welcome, world.


Peace & Love,

Famous People See Themselves as Half-Animal, obviously

Some celebrities have ex-lovers who tell wild stories about kinky sex fetishes or wild drug parties or insane lifestyle habits. This is the crack that feeds our crazy, let's face it. There is nothing more fun than reading the crazy rants of jilted lovers, spilling the beans about how some high-and-mighty goody two-shoe actor likes to have a pine cone shoved up his butt or how some angelic starlet once shot herion in a the bathroom of a Greyhound bus.

But in what may quite possibly be the BEST celebrity spurned-lover gossip item EVER, a woman who once dated Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez of the Yankees, revealed today that the slugger worth over $275 million has not one, but two paintings of himself...depicted as a centaur. (not one, but two!)

So like double the awesomeness of this.


The woman was quoted as saying: "It was ridiculous."


Ummm. Excuse me...ridiculous? Why? Please. This dude has $300 million dollars. OF COURSE he sees himself as a centaur. Of course he does. This is nothing. If I could muster up a lousy $3oo in the bank I would commission a portrait of myself as a unicorn having sex with the Ghost of Christmas Past. Probably twice, too.

Peace & Love,

Happy Halloween. Here is a drunk midget dressed up as an Ewok humping someone famous.

So the Today show is either REALLY grasping at straws for ways to get attention or someone thought it would be a good idea to let this happen:

WAIT!

I must warn you...this includes about 1.5 seconds of Al Roker doing something somewhat similar to sex. You will have Al Roker and sex in the same part of your brain. Please proceed ONLY if you fully understand this. OK. So back to the clip.




First off EPIC FAIL to the producer who booked WeeMan for this gig. Seriously, who is doing your casting at that show, the Promises Rehab center??

Also, fuck you Al Roker for ruining my Han Solo sex fantasies. Thanks a lot, dude. No really. Thanks a whole lot. It's not like I have a lot left to go on what with James Bond going all Chester the Molester and everybody else getting fat.

But at least he lets them use his bathroom....


So, my boyfriend, RadTiger, superuberdeluxehot Asian dude (yes, yes you all know) told me about this today.


Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, Lousianna, refused to issue a marriage license to Beth Humphrey, 30, and her boyfriend, Terence McKay, 32. So, what were the shocking grounds for his decision?


Because they were an interracial couple.

Holy Fucking Shit! Someone built a time machine and took us all back to the civil rights dark ages!


Don't you want to hear his awesome reason? It's not racist at all, apparently!!

"I don't do interracial marriages because I don't want to put children in a situation they didn't bring on themselves. In my heart, I feel the children will later suffer."


Of course! He's thinking of the children. Anyway, Tom Metzger Keith Bardwell is apparently shocked that people would think he is a racist. (The outrage.):

"I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom."

Well. So long as you're letting them use your bathroom. That was Martin Luther King, Jr's dream, right? That someday racist cracker honkies would let people of all color poop in their bathrooms? Yeah. Equality.


Now, if all you you who have been rolling your eyes, scoffing at the outrage of activists, politicians, artists, writers and sociologists who've been screaming about institutionalized racism and rampant, unchecked discrimination in our court system, brushing it off as "Liberal whining", would mind doing us all a BIG favor and shutting the fuck up? (Rush Limbaugh, I am talking to you. Also the enitre Republican Party.) Thanks! Because I think Judge Grand Wizard here just sort of proved our point.

I am at a loss to even describe how embarrassing this is. (By the way, this is not what the South is like. People are wonderful here. Open minded. Big hearted. Yes, even the damn Republicans.) To think this dumb mother fucker is a judge. HE IS A FUCKING OFFICER OF THE COURT. THIS DUMB SHIT IS IN CHARGE OF MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES. I MEAN REALLY YOU NEED ME TO EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW FUCKED UP THIS IS? WHY, DID YOU GET DROPPED ON YOUR HEAD AS A BABY? SHOULD I COME AN EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY WATER IS WET, TOO?

But anyway, the most important part about this story has to do with ME, obviously. So RadTiger was very troubled by this. As he adorably pointed out, "You know, technically, we're an interracial couple. So we should really really be pissed." And then he started to get upset, wondering if this could happen to us if we tried to get married (*GIRLISH SQUEAL* I know!! He's talking marriage!!! OMG, OMG, OMG!!)


(RadTiger's note: This isn't what I was talking about at all. I'm not sure where she gets this stuff from. She drinks a lot of wine, you know. A. LOT.)

I told him we didn't have anything to worry about. I mean, I would just kick that judge's ass. Seriously. I would beat the everloving shit out him. I would beat him into oblivion so badly, he would wake up thinking he was Condoleezza Rice.

Because GOD HELP anyone who dare try and get between me and a wedding ring.

Peace & Love,

Rebecca "Mrs.RadTiger" Rose

Balloon Boy IMPORTANT UPDATE (Farting is involved. You do NOT want to miss this. Seriously).

So the media circus around balloon boy continues. I was wondering, show of hands.....what's worse:

Balloon boy puking on the Today Show?



Or his dad farting on Good Morning America? (Just right before 4:00. Seriously. Play this. Skip the video to about 3:54. Then wait for the magic. And by magic, I mean a fart. Obviously.)





Who do you think is more ecstatic about the direction of their career this morning, Diane Sawyer? Or Meredith "Hey, This is Still Better Than Talking to Elizabeth Hasselbeck" Viera?


People. let's not forget that this is a family who thought it would be a good idea to go on something called "Wife Swap" (twice, I think). They saw that mindless shitfest and said "Gee this would be a good thing for our kids to be on. Oh yeah!" I mean, clearly this speaks not just to the sad state of the media in this country, but to the unfortunate way our children are taught to overval---


"YO FALCON I'M HAPPY FOR YOU AND I'M A LET YOU FINISH!! BUT THE KID FROM UP WAS THE BEST BALLOON BOY OF ALL TIME!!!!"


Hey!!! What the hell?? Thanks a lot, JERK! Sheesh....


Sorry everyone, my post was just rudely interrupted by Kanye West. Jeez. That guy is really passionate about the film "Up". Way to soybomb my post, turd. Oh well. Maybe Beyonce will let me finish it later.

Balloon Boy!!

In case you were in a coma today and didn't see all of this; a six year old boy was (supposedly) accidentally launched in a weather balloon early Thursday afternoon. Not only does the story break about the kid impersonating the best movie of all time but it turns out, the kid is a reality show star. His family was on WIFE SWAP.





So for four hours we got this.







And this. AND THIS.

What a bunch of crazy shit.

CNN was covering this thing like aliens had landed on Earth. They had environmentalists, weather balloon experts (What? Really??) scientists, fucking NASA astronauts giving commentary, calculating the mass velocity of helium, doing algorhythmic phsyics formulas on the video monitor. They must feel like such shitheads right now. Wolf Blitzer probably wants to rape himself right now.

Fox News, known for their quiet restraint on topics of national vitalness, also reported it like aliens had landed....and then started farting dinosaurs strapped with nuclear weapons controlled by Mussolini's ghost. But no one at Fox feels dumb about going overboard. Going into hysterics over controversies that aren't back up by facts? They call that shit "Election Coverage".


And what about this kid? He's hiding in the attic while the damn ARMY is looking for him. Amazing. Good job on checking in the most obvious place ever that children always hide in before you started the MASSIVE STATEWIDE SEARCH. With the ARMY. AND ALL THE NEWS REPORTERS.


Proving once and for all that people who go on crazy reality shows like "Wife Swap" are totally, 100% normal. I mean, the guy is trying to build a fucking flying saucer spaceship. Are we really that surprised that his kid is a little flaky? I mean, really?


Let me tell you something....you would never pull this shit with Mama Rose (not that I would ever be that stupid). If she found out I did something like this....that I made her give up a nice quiet afternoon to run around talking to moron ass reporters in some shitty corn field....and then found out I had been in the attic whole time. ...she would pretty much make me KEEP living in the attic. "You like it up there so much?? You stay up there!!"

I would probably still be up there. Too scared to come down.

Peace & Love,

Daniel Craig needs to rethink his facial hair. And probably every other decision he is making in his life lately.

This awesome site Photobomb features hilarious pictures of people fucking up pictures by honing in on the shot. There are some really funny pictures.



Then there is this.


That is Taylor Swift. And Daniel Craig in the background.

This is the creepiest thing I have ever seen. Ever. In my life. And that counts the time I my 8th grade math teacher asked if he could get a picture with "just me" at the graduation dance.

Daniel Craig, please stop ruining my James Bond sexual fantasies with your kooky private life. I have so very, very few things in my life that bring me joy. I need this. OK?

Sons of Anarchy: You need to be watching this show.

This is the hottest show ever on television.

It's about this one hot dude who is in a motorcycle gang. He rides around on a motorcycle all day. Then he gets into some fights. And he sleeps with some chicks. And then he beats up people who try and mess with those chicks. Katy "Peg Bundy" Segal is in it. And Hellboy is, too. Also they sell drugs and guns and some hookers get killed and they kill a mentally deranged federal agent and they get into the porno business. And there is a guy with one testacle. They burn off a guys tattoo with whiskey and a blow torch. Then the gang, that includes a guy who occassionally impersonates Elivs.... castrates a clown. Best. Show. Ever.


The show is sold as Hamlet meets Sopranos meets Macbeth meets Easy Rider but fuck that Zeitgeist bullshit.
This show is GIRL PORN. Bad boys in leather jackets? MOTORCYCLES? (Welcome to every sexual fantasy I had from 1989-1997). The sight of a bunch of rebel rousing, hard living, fast drinking hoodlums, stomping around in their boots, scowling, smoking and thumbing their noses at authority?!?!?
*SWOONS*
Let me see if I can help the guys understand what the effect of that is....It would be like if there was a show called "Chicks of Cheerleading" that was all about hot cheerleaders jumping and bending over and showering a lot. That feeling of warm awesomeness that just went tingling through your body when you just imagining it? Yeah. Now you got it.

A picture of a man with a very large forearm.


So this is Germany's arm wrestling champion. As you can see....he's got a pretty developed....muscle....there....in his forearm. So. You know.




Look do I actually have to make a joke here? I mean because it pretty much writes itself, you know? I guess it is sort of technically my job to make the joke. And probably the reason you come here. That and to see if I've actually become desperate enough to post nude pictures of myself to increase my hit count. I haven't yet. But you never know. I could just loose my mind. Or get really, really wasted some night and post those pictures I took for my exboyfriend and emailed him one night that made him drive from Kansas City back to San Diego in less than 18 hours flat so I could finish the "story" I was telling with my boobs.

Anyway so he masturbates a lot. Would be the joke. That I would tell. Somehow.
Peace & Love,

"Westward, ho...." A Jealous Bitch Takes a Road Trip

Last week, RadTiger asked me if the McRib was back at McDonald's. It's not. Quite naturally, this led to our decision to spend a weekend seeking out the best barbecue in Texas. So when I heard that Lockhart, Texas had gone so far as to be officially declared the "Barbecue Capital of Texas"....it was clear what we had to do. We had to journey to this strange foreign land. They must have the McRib there. Or at least a suitable replacement.


Normally it's very hard to draw RadTiger away from his Xbox and his Herculian-like quest to make the Texans go undefeated in Madden 2010. (THIS JOKE IS ONLY FOR TEXANS FANS: Even he can master clock management better than Gary Kubiak).

But once I mentioned that we would be stopping along the way to visit the famed Chicken Ranch brothel, he had his bags packed and was waiting in the car, laying on the horn screaming "LETS GO!!!" every 30 seconds. And that was three days before we left.


It's about a 3 and a 1/2 hour trip, which means it takes me 2 hours and 15 minutes. We made great time, despite the constant annoying cries of "Be careful, you're speeding" and "Please pull over that cop looks really pissed" and "Oh my God, I think that woman you almost hit had a baby" coming from the passenger seat. Stupid backseat drivers.


We pulled over here because the sign said this was a "Scenic Spot.":

I don't know if they meant "scenic" so much as "creepy" or "scary as a mother fucker" or "Seriously, this place looks like where serial killers come to dump bodies. Why in the hell would you be encouraging people to stop here?"



La Grange, Texas is the home of the Chicken Ranch. It was a famous brothel owned by Jessie "Miss Jessie" Williams, portrayed by Dolly Parton in the inexplicably not-Academy Award nominated film "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". Pressed with falling profits during the Depression, she implemented the "poultry standard", aka the "Chicken Rule". She charged one chicken for each sexual act. And you think you're having to make sacrifices in today's economy.

(Wait..."Chicken Ranch"....hmmm. Oh, now I think I know what this guy was doing.)

Sadly, the Chicken Ranch is no more. It was torn down many years ago, leaving a gaping hole in the lucrative chickens-for-sex market. RadTiger was really looking forward to seeing this. Realizing how crushed he was, I assured him that there were "probably lots of other whorehouses" around. Never, ever, ever make this mistake with a man. He spent 45 minutes asking me if every single building we passed was a brothel, from a Jiffy Lube to a Starbucks. He saw a female mail carrier and screamed "Is that one of the hookers??!!" and then spent the next 20 miles begging me to turn around. He only quieted down when I threatened to leave him at the local sheriff's station and report him as a Communist sympathizer spreading lies about "the Obamacare". He didn't speak much after that.

We managed to see a lot of amazing sites while traveling through the back roads of Texas. Like this car. Apparently, this car is "awesome":

I know this, because I almost crashed across 4 lanes of traffic when RadTiger screamed "WHOA DUDE LOOK AT THAT AWESOME CAR!!!!!" at the top of his lungs. Two inches from my face. And when I told him about this post he said, "Make sure you put that car picture up there, because that was awesome".




Then we stopped in Smallville and enjoyed a walk through the small quiet town where Clark Kent honed his powers as Superman Smithville, which is the home of the World's Largest Gingerbread Man Cookie. Or was the home. Now they just have the World's Largest Cookie Sheet Shaped Like a Gingerbread Man.




We asked a man for directions and he said he didn't know the area too well because he lived "out in the country". We were under the foolish assumption that we were out in the country. Stupid city folk. Apparently small towns like Smithville are sort of like a "pre-country"....designed to get city folk like us acclamated to the "real country". Like sitting in a decompression chamber in a submarine before you surface.



















So this is Smitty's Market, in Lockhart, TX. It's like what Shangri La would be like if it were made out of beef. Smitty's Market is, to put it bluntly, a legend:

If it's true, flawless, perfect BBQ you want, don't miss out on Smitty's Market. It is totally authentic pit bbq, cooked over oak firewood in the same fire pits they have been using since before Eisenhower was in office. The meat melts in your mouth. And they don't use "sauce". And you don't dare ask for sauce (this is on par with blaspheming Jesus in some parts of Texas). They don't have untensils or plates either...you eat on butcher block paper. And God help you if try and ask for a fork, because they don't even allow them in the building. (I say this because we were dumb enough to ask for forks. Twice. They. Don't. Have. Forks. ANYWHERE.)






















We stayed a Motel 6. You remember when Motel 6 was a meeting place for heroin smugglers and drug addicts homesick for the feel of their crackhouse? Yeah, that part hasn't changed. But they did go and give themselves a fancy make over:




So at least when the serial killer hiding out next door decides you fit his "profile", you'll be murdered in a room that looks like it was designed by the members of Kraftwerk. These rooms are like the end of those rides at Epcot center where they show you the "Homes of the Future" and some announcer booms about "Dreaming for the promise of tomorrow" before he reminds you to gather your belongings and watch your step as you exit. Or pretty much exactly like the rooms people lived in in Logan's Run.


The next day, we went to Austin, and headed for Mount Bonnell.


They make you walk up freaking stairs to get there. Based on my rough estimates, I would say I climbed a good 2,674 steps, give or take. The view is simply breathtaking. I am so glad I overcame this challenge so I could behold more of nature's glory. (RadTiger's note: It's 100 steps...very, very short steps. I got to the top and thought I had lost her. She was sitting on the first step, offering people money to carry her up. Money she had stolen from my wallet. We would have done more in Austin, but it took her the entire morning to get to the top. Old people with walkers overtook her. A pregnant lady beat her up the steps. She stopped halfway to cry, and compared herself to soldiers on the Bataan march. Then, when she had finally made it up, she tried to push me off the ledge when I asked her if she was having a nice time. I seriously do not know what I thought was so bad about being single.)


This is the only picture RadTiger took of me:

He took 800 pictures of my dog, some beef jerky, pickled yams, trashy bushes, random cars and a rock. But this is the only picture of me he managed to get. And I am pretty sure he only took this because he was trying to get a picture of the dog.


RadTiger: Ohhhhhh, look! A butterfly!! I want to get a picture!!! Me: Why, because you have a vagina now? RadTiger: I hate you. I mean it. I really, really hate you.

All in all, we had an awesome time. We enjoyed the best barbecue I have ever had, stayed in Buck Roger's love shack, I climbed Mount Everest and learned what "out in the country" really means. And RadTiger managed to not push me in front of any moving cars or run off to the Bunny Ranch in Vegas. (Since I posted this, I have recieved no fewer than six emails from him. "Where is the Bunny Ranch?"...."Do they still take bunnies in trade?"..."Where can I get some bunnies for cheap and FAST?"...."Will you drive me to Vegas?".....and so on.)


But we're back and the damn McRib is still not on the menu at McDonald's. You know, they push that shitty Angus burger crap like it's the Second Coming, but the only time we get our hands on a McRib is when Venus aligns with Mars in the second moon of Jupiter??? Jeez, man.

Consarnit!!!

The other day, probable Satan-worshiper Jay-Z gave an interview in which he slipped said this:

"My pager is actually ringing right now, so people are probably calling me and telling me they pretty much like it," he explained. "I can tell by the way my pager rings if a song is good or not. It's really going crazy right now."


Of course the Internet went nuts wondering why the billionairiest rapper of all time didn't have a cellphone! Why does Jigga still have a pager, holy shit???


Look. NO he doesn't have a "pager". Of course, he has a cell-phone. Let me explain something to you.....


When you get older, you forget to call your new things by the right new names.


I still tell people to leave me messages on my "machine" (even though I've had voicemail for 10 years)....yesterday I asked my roommate if he had seen my "Walkman" (it's an iPod). I went to a mall a while back to get new CDs and asked some teenage girl working there if they had a "record store". She was baffled. Young people get really freaked out by the concept that when you start to get old, you no longer bother to upgrade your terminolgy. .

Fax Machine

Heed this warning, smug, tech-saavy 20-year olds!! One day you will do the same thing. you'll be telling people you "downloaded" some new song and people who use telepathy (the future will be so freaiing cool) will look at you like you are an idiot. Such is the "Circle of Life", kids.


So, the next time I call your XBOX "the Atari" PLEASE do not correct me. It's hard enough for me to keep all the important shit I need to keep in my brain (where I live, who is suing me, what time is my court date for when I punched that cop, blah blah blah),


(This is how it starts, obviously. Pretty soon I'll be talking to the toaster and asking if President Reagan is going to interupt "Family Ties" tonight.)

Please add this to the list of things to never ever say again!

This weekend was National Equality March in Washington DC; where thousands of gays, lesbians and transgender people marched to demand equal treatment under the law.


No, this isn't my rant about gay marriage, and how it should be legal and we should stay the fuck out of people's person lives and let people live how they want to live. I'm going to rant about the inevitable succession of bad, God-awful, eye-roll inducing gay-marriage jokes that are about to be unleashed upon us in the wake of this event.

So, as a preventative measure, I am officially declaring a moratorium on the following joke about gay marriage:


"I'm all for gay marriage; why shouldn't they be able to be as miserable as the rest of us?"



Because seriously, every time you hear this, isn't it always out of the mouth of the biggest, dumbest douchebag in the room, who thinks he is the second coming of Jerry Seinfeld? I hate people who say things that we've all heard a billion times and act like they're the brilliant ones who thought it up. Spare us from your stupid attempts to try and be witty. Here's a clue: If you heard this joke on TV, saw it on a blog comment board, bumper sticker, or got it sent to you in an email...chances are good (real, real good) that basially every single person in the free world probably saw it, too. And there's probably a thousand other douchebags trying to pass this off as off as something funny they just came up with....so stop adding to the problem. Trust me, you don't want to be that guy.



Iam also officially declaring a moratorium Jessica Simpson being dumb blonde, Pamela Anderson's boobs, Bill Clinton pot/cigar/dress stain jokes (Really, I have to tell you to stop this? Is it 1994 again?), any joke where you saw on Family Guy, aor things that Bill O'Reilly thinks are funny.

NOBEL PRIZE OUTRAGE!!!



I'm pissed about all this back and forth on the Internet today about some dude in Washington winning the Nobel Peace Prize...the Internet is going apeshit. But no one is talking about the real outrage!


Thomas A. Steitz got the Chemistry prize?? WHAT A JOKE. This is a flagrant attempt to cajole the lucractive ribsosome molecular imaging community. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan was robbed!! Everyone knows he's carried Steitz for years! This is almost as ludicrious as when Carleton Gajdusek won for Physiology in 1976. I said almost.

I don't even hate cats THIS much....

You all know I hate cats. I mean, they are trying to take over the world. But...


This is the "Pet Spa". It is a washing machine that has a cabin; it washes dogs and cats and blow-dries them. You lock them in the box and blast them with water then blast them with hot air to dry them. That's right. It is machine that you put your pets in to wash them. If you hate them.





According to their own promotional material, the system was "carefully designed by a team of veterinarians, animal behaviorists and engineers", all of who hate animals, obviously. And smoke crack. And are evil. Really, really fucking evil.

Also, they say that it "maintains air and water temperatures at the recommended levels by the board of veterinary medicine". Exactly "board of veterinary medicine" sets levels for hot or cold the water you blast on your terrified pet locked in a box should be?


Apparently someone saw this and thought it wasn't quite awful enough:

Tila Tequila is Tweeting about really awful things



Presumably because doing things like this probably isn't the best way to find everlasting happiness, teeny-tiny reality star Tila Tequila has been posting suicidal messages on her Twitter page....which is really just horrible. Most notably, she posted this:


" Like I said, God spoke to me and told me I am needed up there."



Not be get all Jesus-y on everyone, but I'm pretty sure that part about God needing Tila Tequila IS in the Bible.....


In Revelations. Right before the Four Horseman show up.

A Jealous Bitch needs friends, too....


This is the blog of my one of my blogger friends, "George". OK, look....everybody be cool, 'cause George is a cop. So just act cool, man. Act. Cool.

Not only is his blog pretty cool, but he doesn't mind it when you ask him fun cop questions like "How do the sirens work?" or "Can you fix these tickets?" or "What does 'Temporary Restraining Order' mean?" or "Can you fix these other tickets?"

Anyway, not only does he help me with my deep interest in Civics, but he probably provides me with at least 3 or 4 of my weekly meals. He doesn't mind taking me to breakfast or lunch or dinner or "Fourth Meal" or bringing me donuts at random times of the day or that I have made the "Whoa, a cop with donuts!!" every single time he does. He totally understands that that sometimes your friends need you to drive 45 minutes across town through rush hour traffic because they just drank the last Coke and they are really, really too tired to drive down the block to the Kroger and don't even complain when the Coke finally gets there and is warm so they have to yell at you and make you go back to get ice for them and then lock you out of the house to "teach you a lesson" want to have a nice visit with you!!!

You know, you people could take a cue from George. He pays for his enjoyment of this awesome blog. He's not like the rest of you moochers.

Peace & Love,

Kevin Spacey thinks I am a bitch.


Don't ask. I could explain this. Or you all could just bask in the glow of the fact that uberfamous, two-time Oscar winning actor and bonafide movie superstar (and previous "Hot Guy I Want To Do") Kevin freaking Spacey thinks I'm sort of a bitch....

Hmmm. I wonder what John Mayer thinks of all this?

Anna Paquin Does Not Understand People


Anna Paquin, Oscar-winning actress from The Piano, and current star of HBO's freakishly sinful True Blood gave an interview and said this, about her worries that people still only think of her as a precocious 9 year old:

"Maybe I’m misjudging people, but I feel like a lot of people still have an image of me in a bonnet at nine years old."

Ummm. No.

No Anna Paquin, I'm pretty sure we just have an image of you having sex with a dirt-covered naked vampire that just crawled out of the grave you buried him in.


Yeah, pretty sure I can't get that out of my head.

I speak MORE Chinese!!

Nǐ hǎo!!!

So I'm sure you all remember my awesome mastery of the Chinese language? Well, I just learned some more!

My friend MrChineseSmartyPants managed to teach me a few phrases before the wine set in and I forgot who he was to begin with. These are very important phrases that I strongly urge every one to learn, in the interest of detente and international relations.


wǒ èrshíwǔ suì = I am 25 years old.

tǎngxià = Lie Down

Wáng xiánshēng zài ma = Can I speak to Mr. Wang?

pijiu = Beer

That's pretty much all the Chinese I will EVER need. Ever. I have already started planning my trip to China, where I will most likely be hailed as an Empress the moment I set foot on the mainland.

Again, I know. This really has nothing to do with the post. I mean...there is some Chinese writing on the side. I have no idea what it says, but it could say something relating to this post. You never know.

MrChineseSmartyPants expressed some concern when I shared this plan with him, and seemed to strongly suggest that I learn something more "helpful", like "Please" or "Thank you". First of all WHAT? When the hell am I EVER going to say "Thank You" to another human being? Especially in some foreign country. I mean, shouldn't everyone just be thanking me? Duh. Then he tried to teach me begged me to learn "I'm sorry".

I just pretended I didn't even hear that.

I think he also suggested "Please don't shoot me, I'm an imbecile and not worth the bullet" but he was clenching his teeth and grumbling a lot, so who knows. I was pushing for "If you touch my Jack Daniels, I will knife you" and "Are you sure you're 18?" but by this point, MrChineseSmartyPants was just giving me dirty looks whenever I opened my mouth. I'm beginning to think my sense of humor doesn't translate well into Mandarin.

Still not the worst date I've ever been on....

Proving indisputably that we are all probably doomed to be single forever (and perhaps better off that way), Terrance McCoy, 23, took his date to a Buffalo Wild Wings in Detroit; then, asked her for the keys to her car, because he said he left his wallet there. Then he stole her car as she watched helplessly, waiting for him to return. He was caught and arrested, and is facing about five years in jail. His date has laughably been asked by every media outlet covering this story if she would go out with him again, to which she has politely answered no every time.

So you're saying he's single.......

--RR

Sex and Wisdom: Republican Sex

I just had a girlfriend of mine complain that the guy she went out with last night, while super hot, told her he was a Republican, so she's not going to see him anymore.
(#andyouwonderwhyyourestillsingle.)



Are you kidding? You don't date Republicans? Dude. Let me gift you with some enlightening.



I love dating Republicans. The crazy tension makes for what can only be termed as the Best Sex Ever. I mean it. The. Best. Sex. EVER. (Also, let's face it...Republicans just have more money to throw around on their women, what with all the cash have from not giving to dumb charities or stupid poor starving people. I mean, duh).

I have pointlessly tried for YEARS to explain this simple fact to my uptight lefty girlfriends who complain non stop about their unfulfilling sex lives with their idealist boyfriends. My girlfriends seem to date the same type of men....scraggly neurotic granola crunching dweebs, who all look like skinny hipster-Woody Allen wannabes. They contribute little more to the world than their whining about how no one gets all the references in "Mad Men" or complaining that the ceviche from last night was under seasoned. My friends reasons for dating these guys always seem to start with "We're passionate about the same causes!". and they'll willingly admit "He's not the best looking guy". Wow, what a surprise, your sex life with someone you're not attracted to is dull.

Look, the best part of sex is the tension....whether it's the anticipation or the not knowing or just the plain old despising of the person you are sexually attracted to. The feeling of being with someone who drives you so freaking crazy that you don't know if you want to throw them out of a window or rip their clothes off makes for the best sex in the world. Sex is inherently competitive; it's a constant back and forth of teasing and giving in. Being with someone who incessantly challenges you and won't back down or roll over like a puppy compels you to stay on your toes, if you catch my meaning. Having someone smile and nod at everything you say is just boring. Yeah. I know. This picture doesn't have anything to do with the post. But look at that dude. He is so freaking hot. Seriously. I mean I can't even find words to describe it. His body is SICK. I would do nasty, freaky things to him. Things that would make a pimp blush. Anyway....

Here, let me give you an example. Election Night, 2008....I watched all night with my then-boyfriend, an ultra right wing Reaganite. This was a guy who once complained that Joseph McCarthy got a "bum rap" and used to call me his Crazy Commie Hippie Chick. Anyway, that night, when the final election results came in, he shrugged his shoulders, tore off my clothes and pulled me on top of him....because he said he "Might as well start getting fucked by the Left now." In lieu of dirty talk, he just screamed "Yes we can! YES WE CAN!!" over and over again.

God, I loved that man.

Peace & Love,

Hot Asian Dude in The Orange Towel: FOUND

OK, so someone named "RI" left me a comment on my post about the video with the hot Asian Dude in the Orange Towel (AKA Future Father of Rebecca's Children). They translated it for me and figured out who HADOT is:

"OMG it's 3 guys 3 girls! I never thought I'd see this show online!! It's so old! The dude in the orange towel is Hong Kyung In. It's korean, I'm not that good with korean, but here goes: The guy in the orange towel was like "Excuse me, don't splash me again please" and the other guy was like "Oh ok. SPLASH" lol. Then the orange guy was like "Old man, old man! Why did you splash me with water?!" and the dude got up and was like "FU. !(*&*@^ shit, etc". Then something about shit water, and then guy in pink towel (who I am truly in love with ♥ S.S.H. ♥) apologized and they went to their lockers. Then they were like "How did someone get in our lockers?!" then white towel guy was like "they left my panties". "

Do I have the most fabulous readers or I do have the most fabulous readers? My readers are fucking bi-lingual. My readers take time out of their busy lives to help me find my next stalking victim a hot guy I like. Take that, Perez Hilton. Douche.

Cultural nuances....

From one of my awesome fans, after reading about how I took a stone from my father's grave:


Dear Rebecca: Hug from a non-hugger. FYI, we Jews leave a rock (instead of flowers) on the headstone when we visit graves. (From pearlmaj).

Dear Pearlmaj: Well that's nice. We on Team Jesus just grab whatever shit isn't nailed down. Seriously. If I could have stuffed the funeral wreath in my car without getting caught, I totally would have. Peace & Love, RR

Sad News

Some of you may have heard the news that my father passed away. I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who reached out to me with your kind words of support and encouragement. Whether it's from my new fans on the blog or people I've known my whole life; it's been great to hear from all of you.

My father and I did not have a relationship. I had hoped by coming to Texas I would find a way to bridge that gap, and perhaps build something before it was too late.


I never got that chance.


Today, I went to find his grave, weeks after a funeral that I only just found out about. I had trouble finding the cemetary. I was helped by a woman who worked at the "General Store" (yes, they still have these) in the town where he lived. I asked where the cemetary was. She asked who I was looking for. She knew who he was when I said his first name. She even knew where the plot was, and had gone to the funeral. Even people who barely knew him, knew him better than I did.


I did find where he was buried. Dead flowers on a fresh grave.

No one should ever have to stand over the grave of a parent who was a stranger. No one should have to depend on other strangers to tell you about the person they were, or the life they lived.


Alright. Enough of that. First person who makes the best "Gee-what-a-shocker-you-come-from-a-broken-family" joke gets a free "Jealous Bitch" t-shirt*.

Dear Panda Express,

There is NOTHING wrong with asking for a double order of Cream Cheese Rangoon. Nothing. Stop giving me your judgemental, pitying looks. And I don't care how you have to ring it up. Stop making this my problem. And mostly....please stop forgetting to give me the extra order of Cream Cheese Rangoon that I asked for. Do you know what it's like to get home and open up your bag and only see 3 lousy pieces of cream cheesey goodness? That is just cruel, man.

If "Jealous Bitch" were a religion, this would be our Jim Jones.

So RadTiger found this for me and it needs to be shared with the world. Again, I usually hate just posting funny videos, but this is just awesome and everyone needs to understand my love for this.



I don't really know what religion he is supposed to be preaching about, and I'm pretty sure that's a phone book he's reading out of....but whatever crazy Branch Davidian cult or Heaven's Gate sect he is promoting, I definitely want to join it.

I don't know what's better, the fact that he's talking Jesus with Biggie playing in the background or the dance he does to it (at 2:41):

Further Evidence that Men are Completely Pathetic

Apparently, last night, the So You Think You Can Dance crew thought they were recreating scenes from Basic Instinct, and something possibly resembling a vagina was exposed on broadcast television. The Internet (which is apparently run by 12 year old boys now) freaked out; and now this is the biggest news ever:





Seriously? That's it? 2 seconds of a blurry vagina? This is news? What a big deal. Men are so pathetic with this stuff. This is so eye-roll inducing it's not even funny anymore. Go buy a Playboy or browse the Internet or for PETE'S SAKE have some sex once in awhile so you're not so freaking repressed and pent up that every time you think you see some naked lady part you freak out like you just saw Martians land on the White House lawn. This should only be a big deal to you if you are 10 and you've never seen one before...or you're an Amish dude or something.

"Hot Legs....Seventeen years old, he's touching sixty-four..."

NYMag had this hilarious story about a Starbucks barista acting like a total dork in front of Nicole Kidman, because she didn't know who she was. (HILARIOUS!) I guess people who work at Starbucks aren't big fans of boring things. Anyway, they asked for people to share their stories of behaving like dorks around celebs...so here's mine.


Rod Stewart saw me roller skating in Palm Beach. Yes, I said roller skating. Not rollerblading. No, it was not 1985 either. It was a few years back. Before rollerskating became hipster retro-cool again...like it was just dorks like me who were still doing it (Because we liked it. Not because when we tried to learn how to Rollerblade we got hurt badly and threw our Rollerblades into the ocean and cursed the day they were invented). He just stared blankly at me, and finally said "Wow. Roller skating. I didn't think anyone actually did that anymore"....like I was riding an ox-driven cart.


I thought he was just some old British fart trying to be a smart ass. Before I could tell him to go screw himself he said "That's great, doing your own thing! Good for you!"

This picture really doesn't have anything to do with the story. I guess in fairness to Mr. Stewart I could have picked a better one. I could have chosen something more appropriate. I could have.

So, to recap. Rod Stewart thinks I'm cool. And John Mayer thinks I'm funny. If you want my autograph (or perhaps a lock of hair), please email me: rebeccarose2004@yahoo.com

Be Moved to Tears by My Inspiring Journey


Rebecca: *yawn and stretch* Well, it's so nice to get back to the blogosphere after that extended break. I can't wait to tell everyone about the trip I took with my super hot Asian dude, "RadTiger"(*). Yes, we enjoyed many, many wonderful things on our awesome road trip through Texas. But I especially loved the hike. It was such a special time for me, to convene with Mother Nature, to cast off the shackles of society and bond with the natural world, to trek through the great, vast unkno--

RT
: Wait, what? Hiking? When the hell did you go hiking???

Rebecca: I am just describing the details of the harrowing, challenging, soul-wrenching hiking trip you took me on last weekend.

RT: I remember that we planned a hiking trip. I also remember that when we got to the park, you locked yourself in the car and refused to come out.

Rebecca: It was so wonderful to have an opportunity to commune with nature, to experience oneness with the natural world.

RT: You told me that if you "so much as saw the shadow of a bug" you would have my testicles sent to Iran. I'm not sure what that even means.

Rebecca: How many of us really take the time to stop and smell the roses? I'm sure many of these readers would benefit from a similar sojourn into the wilderness, to venture far from the beaten path, off into the great wild wilderness.

RT: I only got you out of the car because I lied and told you the Visitor's Center at the park had a bar. Then when you found out you had to walk up a flight of steps to get to it, you called me a Nazi.

Rebecca: I was undaunted by the grueling pace, the treacherous terrain that stretched on into the endless horizon. Even when it looked the bleakest, I searched deep into my soul and persevered.

RT: It was a paved, covered walkway. And you stopped on a bench and tried to take a nap.

Rebecca: I like to think of nature as life's beautiful little gift. It revives my soul, and lifts my spirits, and brings me joy, and a great, great sense of peace.

RT: You cried for 10 minutes when I told you I wouldn't carry you back to the car. And then you threw a rock at me.

Rebecca: Nature to me is the most freeing thing. We are so blessed to have beauty all around us. No matter the physical price we have to pay to be able to experience its wonder.

RT: When you found out they didn't have a bar, you threatened to sue the state of Texas for subjecting you to such "inhumane" conditions. You made a Park Ranger cry.

Rebecca: Yes, I'm sure lots of people were moved to tears by the story of my remarkable journey.

RT: I have a scar on my forehead from the rock.

Rebecca: Yes. Yes, you do. But in many ways, aren't we all marked by the journey?

RT: Nope. Pretty sure it's just me with the scar.

Rebecca: I still have that rock, you know.

RT: *silence*

John Mayer is not a douche, but this guy clearly is.

OK, so I have officially "cleared" awesome celebrity God John Mayer from being a douche. Fortunately, the world has plenty of eager candidates who are dying to take his place as Douchiest Douchetard in the World.

This week's nominee comes to us from my favorite non-hot-Asian-dude-featuring TV show, Top Chef.

This week, Eli decided that he was tired of being just a dorky smartass destined to lose this show and be forgotten by the time this show goes into reruns. He decided that just being a whiny geek wasn't enough, so when he lost a mini-cook off to a lesser regarded contestant (who also happens to be a cancer survivor), he decided to mock her.

"Oh telling people you have cancer is a great way to win".

And then he decided to mock her. Talk about a sore loser.


Congratulations on beating out basically everyone on television ever to become The Biggest Douchebag on TV. Let me see if I can explain this to you, fucktard. People who survive cancer talk about it so much BECAUSE THEY SURVIVED FUCKING CANCER.

Mama Rose Reviews a Movie

Mama Rose: Oh, Becky, we rented such a dumb movie. With the Gladiator. I don't remember what it was called.

Me: Was it "Gladiator"?

Mama Rose: No, it wasn't. It had the Russel Crowe in it.

Me: Yeah, that was Gladiator.

Mama Rose: No, that's stupid. Why would they name it such a dumb thing. It already has a Gladiator in it. Did they forget?

Me: Well what didn't you like about it? What happened in the movie?

Mama Rose: I don't know. I fall asleep. I don't like dumb movies anyway. I would rather watch Knut.

Me: What is Knut?

Mom: He is the polar bear.

Me: Is that a TV show?

Mama Rose: No, Becky, a polar bear is an animal. From the zoo. What is wrong with you today?

Me: *SPEECHLESS*

Mama Rose: Becky, you know this polar bear, Knut. His mama bear tried to kill him, so they take him away from her. Everybody makes a such big deal out of things nowadays.

Old People Not Belong On the Internet


Yes I am talking about your grandfather who leaves comments on my blog complaining about the "language". What crooked nursing home did you wall him up in where there's not enough shuffleboard and Matlock reruns to keep him occupied? (By the way, Gramps, "fuck" just so happens to be a word in English. See, there's nothing wrong with my language.)


I am talking about your grandmother who sends the same stupid picture of a kitten trapped in a jar 5 times in a row, and probably thinks the Internet "used to have wheels". She's the one who calls you in a panicked frenzy about talking to people online because she saw some 60 Minutes segment on "computer sex perverts", and then ends up giving out her credit card numbers to phony websites that claim to save orphans on Venus.


Old people do not belong wandering unsupervised around in the Internets. If you are old enough to have voted for Eisenhower, stop reading this. By the way, the same applies to small children. But seriously, if I have to explain to you why little kids shouldn't be free to explore the thing that gave us crap like this....you really, really shouldn't be here right now either.


Peace & Love,

The best video of hot Asian dudes that takes place in a locker room and also incorporates a Deep Purple song that I have ever seen in my life.


Apparently, this is funny, because it has a laugh track. Good enough for me. I am not playing this for laughs, though. I am showing this because I want you all to know that I am truly in love with the hot Asian dude in the orange towel. I haven't felt this head over heels in love since I saw James Franco bend over for the first time. I love you, Hot Asian Dude in the Orange Towel. I. Love. You.

Also, if you speak this language, I would really love to know what show this is from and what exaclty was so funny, so please email me, rebeccarose2004@yahoo.com.

Peace and Love,

Live Blogging The Emmy's

Starting at 6PM (central); I will be liblogging (that's "live + "blogging"....clever, right?) the Emmy's here tonight. All the way through until I go insane or Kanye interupts me.

7:12PM OK sorry I wasn't on here at 6:00, sorry. The cable went out for about an hour and I have no idea what happened. But it looks like I'm back on track now.


8:03 After being on the phone with Comcast, for 35 minutes, I finally have my cable back. Just in time to watch a dance number. Oh joy.


8:15 Tracey Morgan is like Bill Cosby if he sniffed glue and was a lot more funny. Plus I have to call Comcast again, the damn cable went out again.

8:45 "No, all the wires ARE plugged in. Yes, I double checked it five times. They are in the exact same place as always. I have never ever touched these wires. Ever."


9:15 Jessica Lange I think your plastic surgeon hates you. Like he really, really hates you. Like it's part of some life long vendetta for some horrible attrocity he blames you for that happened in his childhood, so he plotted to become a famous plastic surgeon to the stars, spending years and years clawing his way to the top, just so he could wait for this exact moment when you walked up on stage in front of millions and millions of people looking like your face is trying to swallow your neck.


9:18 Michael Emerson is more creepy as himself than he is as Ben. *shudder*.

9:23 "Are you deaf? No, I did not unplug ANYTHING. Why the Hell would I do that? More importantly, why in the hell do you think I would do that? What do you think I do, just walk around my house going 'Oh gee, there's a cable. I should yank it from the box it's been plugged into for two years.' Why do you think I do things like this? Do you think I'm retarded?"


9:44 "THE GODDAMN CABLES ARE PLUGGED IN. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS"

9:52 "What the hell do you mean, 'Unplug the cables?' You seriously did not ask me that. You Are you fucking kidding me? You want me to unplug this cable?? Really??? YOU WANT THIS CABLE UNPLUGGED? YOU GET OFF YOUR ASS AND COME OVER HERE AND YOU UNPLUG THIS FUCKING THING! ASSHOLE."

10:08 "Oh, please, you can't be 'banned for life' from calling Comcast. Get me your supervisor."


10:15 Apparently you can be 'banned for life' from calling Comcast. Also, did you know it is a federal crime to threaten a utility worker?

10:35 Who needs stupid cable anyway. TV sucks. I am tired of watching so much TV anyway. I'm glad it's gone. Now I can sit down and rediscover my love of books. I am going to read. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going get a comfy blanket, cuddle up with a great book and lose myself in my imagination. Because my imagination is more vivid and wonderful and beautiful than any television show.

Exactly 1 minute and 47 seconds later: Books suck.

10:39 Hey, did you know there is a WHOLE WEBSITE devoted to how much Comcast sucks?


Well. That was a whole lot of fun. Hey, so when are the Grammy's???


Peace & Love,

Yeah, well what the hell did you accomplish today?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have invented a new drink today. One which I am sure will quickly become the most popular alcoholic beverage of all time, and no doubt be in high demand as soon as I reveal it!

Behold, "The Astronaut's Sunset":




It is Tang mixed with tequila.

Enjoy, world.

Will everyone please stop doing this now?

John Lennon's youngest son, Sean, decided that he needed to recreate the famous shot that Annie Liebowitz did of his mom and dad for Rolling Stone. This photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono is probably one of the most famous, iconic, capitivating images of all time:
He decided to his own version for Purple Magazine. It is probably one of the stupidest, most forgettable pictures of all time: And of course, The Internets ripped him a new one for this, calling him everything from tasteless, to useless, to a no-talent hack, to a copycat of his father. Because we have ended all the other controversial and shocking issues in the world like starvation, poverty, disease and war, and we can no move on to arguing about mindless petty inconsequential crap like this. Obviously.

I don't know why everyone needs to pour so much hate on someone who lost his father in probably one of the worst ways ever. I will pass on saying hateful things about him, personally. And if you don't think the dude has any talent, take a quick listen to GOASTT, a collaboration with his girlfriend, Kemp Muhl, who's pictured here. It's really pretty cool, IMHO. (Plus, technically he is a hot Asian dude, so...you know.)

What does piss me off about this is that it really speaks to the sad state of creativity in contemporary pop culture. I mean, seriously, how many times are we going to get young starlets/singers to dress up as classic icons, or restage iconic moments?

We've had Pamela Anderson recreating Farrah Fawcet's iconic swimsuit poster, Usher recreating Fred Astaire, and there seems to be no end to what Vanity Fair will recreate, from classic Hitchcock films to West Side Story.















We've had Eminem doing his best Clockwork Orange,


Emma Willis recreating Twiggy,


Kate Winlset channelling Catherine Deneuve ,
and Lindsay Lohan recreating everyone else,



It never seems to end....







I could list more examples, but I'd be here all day. It is just so ridiculous. Can we all just collectively tell photographers, magazine editors, fashion directors that this practice is done and over? How far is this boringness going to go? I mean, what's the next generation going to do? Recreate that time someone recreated a famous photo?



Also, HE'S supposed to be the nude one doing the cuddling, if they really want to "recapture the moment". But why ON EARTH would a magazine miss yet another chance to show a naked skinny young girl and call it "art"?


Finally, I would also like to offer Sean Lennon some free advice, to bring this all full circle. (Aren't I good at that??). The next time someone tries to slam you by saying "He's trying to be like his dad", as though that were an actual valid insult to someone, just stop and say this:


"DUDE of course I want to be like my Dad. My dad was amazing, are you familiar with his work? John Lennon?? THE FREAKING BEATLES? Umm, I'm pretty sure EVERYONE ON PLANET EARTH wants to be just like him. Actually, never mind any of that, because he was my dad and he was amazing and I worshipped him. And yes, like all sons who have amazing dads, I spend every waking moment wishing I could be just as wonderful as he was. Even if he was a mechanic from Hoboken, I would pretty much still want to be just like him. So thanks for letting me know I'm on the right path! Asshole."



There, Sean, feel free to use that.



Peace and Love,

Rebecca Rose

Amazingly, someone actually wants to take credit for this.

This is the most God-awful thing I have ever posted on this website.



This is the new song from some the "stars" of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". Here are some of the song's oh-so-inpsiring lyrics (Bob Dylan, eat your heart out):

"I'll be feelin' good by nine. After my third glass of wine. On the dance floor lookin' fine. All the boys tryin' to get in mine....I look good in this heat. Sweat drippin' all over me....Don't be tardy for the party. Oooo, ooooo. Don't be tardy for the party. Oooooo, Ooooo. Don't be tardy for the party..."

I don't what time this crap party is, but I'm pretty sure I'm not worried about being "tardy" to it. Pretty sure I will be a no-show alltogether.

The best part about this song is not how brilliantly horrible it is, or that no matter how quickly you have to shut it off before it makes your brain cry (I give you 23 seconds, max.) you will still have this damn thing stuck in your head for days...


The very best part about this heinosity is that people are fighting over it. That's right. In some bizarro world alternate universe, that apparently is only viewable in this dimension through the Bravo channel, there are actually multiple people who want to claim responsibility for this.


This is like two people bickering to take credit for who just farted at the dinner table. It's like two women fighting over who just gave birth to the Antichrist. It's like if Hitler and Mussolini starting arguing over who committed more crimes against humanity during World War II. Yes, it is just like that. I am not exaggerating one bit.


OK, let me see if I can explain this. So this is Kim:


Kim was going to record the song with Nene:


But then I guess they had some drama, which involved choking, obviously. So she did the song with Khandi:
Now NeNe says it was her song. But Khandi says she produced the song.

Oh, and this is Sheree:



I don't think she has anything to do with the song. But I'm pretty sure she thinks Kim is a bitch, too, because she tried to pull her wig off. You know, Kim may want to re-think this whole wig thing, especially if she is going to around pissing off a lot of other women.

I think it would take less time to explain the socio-economic reprocussions of the Crimean War than it would for me to try and make sense of why four women don't like each other. But let's face it, we're women and we're a lot more complicated than stupid empires and governments, especially when it comes to who we think is a bitch. And honestly, wig pulling is really not that big of a deal. I mean, I would rip the habit off of a nun if I thought the bitch was talking shit about me behind my back.



"Oooo, oooo. Don't be tardy for the party. Ooooo, ooooo. Don't be tardy, tardy, tardy....",

An awesome website, some amazing fashion, and why I should never ever try to be nice ever. Ever.

So this is the blog of Emily Shearing, Fashion Goddess, and all around very nice person.

OK, first of all, let me explain something. If left up to my own devices I would probably dress like Robert Smith doing a drag version of Cher during her battleship-humping era. My idea of being "fashion forward" is running out of clean underwear and finding a way to pass my bathing suit off as "lingerie".

That is why I rely on people like Emily, who actually have good taste and probably wear actual underwear. Just look at these cute things she finds:


I really like this blog. Emily is a genius shopper. She's that girl who has her nose buried in Women's Wear Daily and Vogue and actually reads the articles. (Unlike some people who just scream at pictures of models and curse the day that God gave them man-hips).



Emily is that girl who can go through that same sales bin you just spent 20 minutes digging in with no luck and pop up going, "Oh, look at this Chanel purse I found, OMG it was marked down to five dollars, can you believe it??!!" She's the kind of girl who walks into a Goodwill and comes out with $1200 of vintage couture that she found for $15.(Right? We all know someone like this, right??? ) I could take a team of Navy SEALs into a department store and still not be able to successfully track down one decent outfit that doesn't make me look like an extra in a Tommy Vu informercial.


Anyway, not only does she find really great, trendy clothes and accessories, but her whole blog is all about focusing on the beautiful things in life, and finding the simple whimsical joys of the day to day pretty things we take for granted:

"Gorgeous days like these remind me of the life I had three years ago, before full-time jobs, car payments and DVR as my main source of entertainment. I remember spending lazy June days outside at my apartment soaking in the rays on the rooftop deck, only getting up for a popsicle or a refill of pink lemonade."

See, isn't that just nice? And the whole blog is like that. I mean, not once does she call anyone a bitch or advocate random stabbings. It all begs the question...

WHY THE HELL CAN'T I MORE BE LIKE THIS!??!!?

I mean, what is wrong with me? Why can't I write about the nice happy pretty things in life??? I want to be nice, too, DAMMITT! How hard can it be, right??

Here, let me give it a try:

"Wow. The world is so great! So many great, great things. I like things. Look, there on the TV. I think it's Lauren Conrad. Wow....she's....nice. What a pretty...girl. She is. I don't hate her at all. I don't wish I could find a sharp object to stab her with. I don't think people like her should be put on a rocket ship and blasted to Mars. I enjoy that they are here. On Earth. Wasting preCIOUS OXYGEN AND FORCING ME TO LISTEN TO THEIR BULLSHIT WHEN ALL I WANT TO DO IS PUNCH THEM OVER AND OVER AND OVER IN THE--"


AW CRAP this isn't working. Plus, now I need a drink.


Seriously, go to Emily's blog. I love her posts and I love her joyful jubliant writing. Any fashion editor who doesn't hire her IS AN IDIOT. (Emily, feel free to quote that in a resume). She has a great eye for fashion; and more importantly, an appreciation for beauty that we all could take a cue from.

Because some of us seriously need to find more joy in life and learn to relax before we find ourselves locked up in some a padded room doing macrame, being force fed Thorazine and spending all day walking around the "grounds", murmuring to ourselves about how "nice the ducks look today".


Peace & Love!

Really?

I just bought a pack of file folders. They came with directions. File folders. You know, the things that are bascially just folded cardboard that you put paper in.
Overwhelming.


Somebody thought people needed help understanding how to work those. Because that is what the world is coming to. People are too stupid to figure out folders.


(Yup, I am writing about mundane things I bought again. It has been a crazy week, what can I say. But don't worry, next week's blog is going to be jam packed with the kind of hilarity you all love me for and I get sued for. AND I promise not to post anything in next week's blog that include anything I have purchased in the name of home organization or peronal hygene. And I promise not to yell at everyone if I do.)

Peace & Love,

My Plea for Random Crime

A man was stabbed last night while out at a bar, where shitty singer John Mayer was also hanging out. You know, I certainly hope that the poor man that got stabbed is alright...

Because I don't want to seem too cruel or insensitive when I ask why the hell John Mayer couldn't have gotten stabbed. I mean, for Pete's sake, you're right there, you have the weapon, and there's the biggest douchebag ever sitting right next to you. Look, you already stabbed the one guy, OK? You're going down for something big. Why not take a few moments to do a favor to humanity.


Hey, it might help you in the long run! Like the judge at your trial, he could go "Hmm...well, on the one hand he did stab this poor innocent man. But on the other, he did eliminate the worst most untalented person alive. He did save us from 100s of unfunny Twitter updates and the endless hours of pondering we spend trying to figure out why hot women find this asshole attractive. So that should be considered here."



Peace & Love,

KANYENESE UPDATE


For those of you trying to stay up to date on your Kanyenese, this latest update is extremely vital. Note the random out of context compliments "I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER" and the inexplicable spelling of "BOOOYAAWWWW". We clearly did not have that in our lexicon.

Also, if there exists footage of Taylor Swift's mother and Kanye West engaging in an actual conversation, I think we all need to see that, because it might just open the space-time vortex.

Peace & Love,

Live Blogging the VMAs

Back by popular demand, it's my attempt at blogging an awards show. Now, we all remember how badly this went last time, so let's keep our fingers crossed and keep me away from ill-fated attempts at emailing jerks who used to date me. OK....so, it's OFF TO THE VMAs!


7:30 Preshow; Buzz Aldrin trying to read off the names of Breakthrough Artist. This is worse than when my mom took me to that Cure concert and kept asking "Why do all these pretty girls have to wear so much black?"


8:00 Realize I have literally been watching the preshow for something like 40 hours. Realize I am woefully unprepared to blog the MTV-anythings, because so far the only person they're talking about who I recognize is Michael Jackson, and he is dead. Realize I am MISSING Bears take on the Packers on Sunday Night Football, just so I can watch MTV stretch out 45 minutes of boringness into a 3hours of nonsense.


8:05 Madonna's eye makeup pays tribute to Michael Jackson. Apparently the most important thing about Michael Jackson that the world needs to remember are all the times Madonna talked to him and how he was just like Madonna. Copycat.

8:15 RUSSELL BRAND STOP YELLING AT EVERYONE.

8:20 How long do I have to watch this crap? I can't believe I am missing football for this, DAMMIT.


8:23 Please someone tell Taylor Swift to calm down. She did not cure cancer, she just won a stupid moon man. Ace of Bass have like 10 of these, so a little perspective here, please.


8:26 Dear Taylor Swift: This is how you shut up an idiot...."Hey Kanye, thanks for that. I was just wondering, Do you like fish sticks?"


8:33 Russell Brand inexplicably makes the Taylor Swift/Kanye moment MORE awkward. How many more times can this asshole remind us that he has a penis?


8:38
Taylor Swift's performance might be the worst thing I have ever seen on television. All it needs is Hugh Jackman in a top hat, to make it truly unwatchable.

8:41 JAY CUTLER, 3RD INTERCEPTION, YOU SUCK!!! I wouldn't trade a pack of gum for this tool--Ohh, sorry. Sorry. Right. I know. Back to the stupid awards.



8:46 Pete Wentz and some guy I don't recognize. Either I am completely out of touch with youth...or young people have stopped being funny altogether.


8:50 LADY GAGA I WORSHIP THEE. She's not wearing pants. But she is wearing a mask, so that makes up for it.


9:03 Russell Brand, if the audience doesn't laugh, the joke bombed. Why is it so hard for you to understand this?

9:35 Is Gerald Butler speaking English?

9:48 Dude, did you guys know that "FloRida" was just one guy? I thought it was like a whole big gaggle of rappers. But no, just the one guy. I don't know if that makes me like him more or less...


10:00 Lady Gaga accepts award wearing a red lace doily body suit and a chef's hat. I swear I have seen my mother in something exactly like this. And she says: "For God and For the Gays". Texas just turned off their TVs.

10:23 Jay Z I cannot make a joke. I am humbled, sir. I am humbled.

10:something WHAT the dumb thing is over already? OMG, what did I miss? I was IM'ing a hot Asian dude, I wasn't paying attention. Oh come on, what happened? Awww, this sucks.

10:howcanIbeonmy8thbeeralready AARON RODGERS PASS TO GREG JENNINGS FOR 50YDS OMG TOUCHDOWN PACKERS!! JAY CUTLER GO BACK TO DENVER.

OK, so to recap, the Packers look DAMN GOOD this year, and judging by how the Broncos did against Cinci, I think we're beginning to see that Chicago clearly drew the short straw on that trade. I mean, Jay Cutler CAN YOU THROW A COMPLETED PASS FOR PETE'S SAKE.


All in all, I'd say, another AWESOME live blogging of an awards show. AND, I didn't manage to piss off any foreign countries, so that's a win!

Peace & Love,

America Launches Attack on the Moon!!!!

Gird your loins, tomorrow we are blowing up the moon.


They had it coming. Because we all know what's really going on there, don't we?


You know I thought this was a huge joke, but I guess NASA really is bombing the moon, as I learned during my weekly perusing of the latest issue of Scientific American. Apparently they are searching for signs of water or ice in the ensuing debris cloud. I would explain more to you about why is behaving like a villain in an Ed Wood movie, but my brain hurts just reading that thing.

The best part of the article is this:

"The attack on the Moon is not a declaration of war or act of wanton vandalism"

It is amazing that Scientific American felt the need to clarify this to their readers.


On a related note, I didn't know blowing up things is how you find water in them. Me no smart like NASA I guess. Oh well.

Peace & Love,

Hot Asian Dudes: "The Big Breakfast"

So it's time for another episode of every one's favorite ambiguously pornographic show, "Passport for Men". YAY!!

As some of you may recall, "Passport for Men", (AKA Rebecca's Favorite Show Ever) features the inexplicable lives of Tong, Chan and Beige, three extremely hot Asian dudes, who all live together. (And all sleep in the same bed, as I now believe ALL Asian men do. Which is wonderful.) According to the words that randomly fly around during the opening, they are all "Smart", "Modern", "Confident" and "Good Taste". Which they demonstrate by going to "disco clubs", buying jewelery shaped like rhinoceroses, and giving each other massages.

This week, the boys offer up a lesson on what to do if you ever have to cook breakfast in your underwear for other hot Asian dudes in their underwear. Also, apparently now all Asian cooking is done on a George Foreman grill. Who knew.


Side note: Why isn't there more of this stuff on television?? I mean, I spent an hour googling to find this, but that dumb ugly Twilight moron is plastered everywhere. Why is Hollywood so prejudiced against hot Asian dudes? I mean, tell me you wouldn't want to watch this instead of that "Brothers and Sisters" crap.

Oh yeah, and I don't know where they got the idea that that is what an "American Breakfast" is like. That's certainly not how I do breakfast in this country. I roll out of bed around two in the afternoon, stumble into the kitchen and chug a half-empty can of lukewarm Dr. Pepper left out from the night before, reheat the Panda Express that's been sitting in the back of my fridge for 3 days and finish it all off with a few spoonfuls of Cool Whip.
Now that's an American Breakfast, boys.


Peace and Love,

Greatest Explanation of Anything Ever



Tom: So what is "Martha Stewart Living" all about anyway?
Me: Oh, it's like that whole "Connecticut" kind of, you know, all that.
(LONG PAUSE)
Tom: And you're a writer, you say?



(Yeah, well Tom thought Martha Stewart was Hilary Clinton so he really doesn't have anything to laugh at me about.)

Precious Memories

Here is a wonderful, heart warming story about the meals that some superstar chefs make for their kids. Just look at this one adorable story a popular chef in New York shares!

"Chef: Frank Castronovo of Frankies 457
Kid(s): Daughters Sophie, 13, and Louise, 9Lunch
Staples: The girls get fresh fruit, a yogurt, and a bottle of water (in a reusable bottle) every day. Sandwiches are generally on whole-grain Ezekiel bread with tuna, turkey, hummus, or ham.
Other Favorites: Castronovo will also occasionally pack some of the baked goods from the restaurant, like banana bread, zucchini bread, or a linzer tart."


Awww....how great. Linzer tart. Right. Hey, let me share my loving story, too!

Chef
: Mama Rose
Kid: Becky Rose; 5-18 (pretty much everyday until she couldn't take it anymore I moved out of the house
Staples: Whatever I managed to throw in a bag while Mama Rose was yelling "HURRY UP YOU'RE GOING TO MISS THE GODDAMN BUS! You should have made your lunch the last night! You expect me to do everything around here!! And you better move because I am not driving you anymore. You miss that bus, YOU WALK TO SCHOOL."
Other Favorites: Being yelled at in the car for 40 minutes on the drive to school (because I missed the bus). Being yelled when I ask for money to buy lunch because I just realized I forgot to take the lunch I just made with me.


(i heart my mom)


Peace & Love,

I know you feel like shit...

There is so much unhappiness in the world. So much suffering and so much pain. There are two wars that this country is engaged in. The economy is collapsing. People are bringing guns to see their President talk. Families are falling apart. Rachel Ray still has a television show. Attrocities abound.


But in the midst of this shit storm that we call life, there exists something completely innocent and pure. Untouched by greed, evil, deception, materialism, or vanity. It is just a beautiful, fluff ball of joy that wants simply for the warmth of a mother's touch. Or the sweet joy of a simple bite of bamboo.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you "Panda Cam". Where you can watch, at any time of the day, free of charge, the daily life of a baby panda.

For those moments during your day, when you just aren't sure if you can take it anymore. For the times when the news of the world is so bad, you wish Al Gore hadn't made all these Internets. For the times when the world seems so ugly, you think "What's the point?". For anytime someone forwards you a "Ten Reasons Why Golf Is Better Than Sex" email. For the times when your boss asks you if you can "work late" and then leaves at 4:58. For anytime you need to be reminded that there is a world beyond our petty human quabbles, past the name calling, the mindless rhetoric, the selfish evils and the endless unbearable sorrow that seems to be consuming the world....


...there's the Panda Cam. Because nothing will put on a smile on your face faster than watching one of the Universe's flawless creatures discover the simple joys of the world around him*.



This is for everyone at New York Magazine (especially for Aaron and Seamus), where we simply call him "Dumpling":



(*They just announced it; he is a boy!)


Peace and Love Baby Love,

In my happy little world...



You remember that 30Rock episode where they show the way all the characters view everyone? Like how Kenneth sees everyone as puppets? Jack sees everything with a dollar value (Kenneth's worth $7). And in Tracy's world everyone is just Tracy.



I see everyone as a hot Asian dude.





If you are reading this right now...you're a hot Asian dude. Because in my happy little world, you are all hot Asian dudes. Which I think everyone knows, and quietly tolerates.


RR

I saw this picture from a healthcare rally and I was quite naturally outraged.

I mean, will you just look at this:



Look at him, I dare you to not ask yourself the same question. Why does he only have two guns? When he has all that room in his butt to strap at least a .9mm. Doesn’t he love this country enough to shove another gun in his ass crack? I mean, what would the founding fathers think.


Disgraceful,

Exciting News In My Life

So I got this new toothbrush today....(shut up this going somewhere)


Normally I just buy the cheapest, 4-for-$1 toothbrush they have on sale at whatever place is closest when I finally remember that I need a new toothbrush because mine is seriously starting to look like the dog used it for a chew toy. But since I am broke and basically jobless with no discernable health care program other than a few Flinstones vitamins I found in my roommate's car that I take (because every little bit helps, people), I am probably not going to get to a dentist any time soon here.


So I decided to buy the most expensive toothbrush they had. Because when you throw money at a problem it just goes away, as we're all aware of. No, I didn't buy one of those stupid uber-expensive, super pricey electric things. I'm not the Sultan of Brunei, OK? Anyway, I bought this thing:


The Oral-B Cross Action Toothbrush.


Look at this fucking thing. This is the Cadillac of toothbrushes. And see what it says there on the package? "Superior Plaque Removal" Whoa. This thing is not fucking around with plaque. This thing means business.


(Yes, I know I just wrote a post about my toothbrush. So? You think this is easy, thinking of funny shit to write about everyday? I mean, it's not like I have an actual life. This is pretty much all I do...blog, sleep, drink, buy a toothbrush, drink. So I thought the toothbrush was funny. So sue me. What do you want from me? Hey, I do this shit for free you know. It's not like you fuckers are actually paying to read about my toothbrush...so what do you have to complain about? Maybe ALL my posts will be about instruments of personal hygiene? HUH? What do you think of that? Yeah! Becky Rose writing about her hair brush, her razor...what are you gonna do? Stop reading my blog??? GO AHEAD. STOP READING. CLOSE THE DAMN PAGE, SEE IF I CARE!!! JERKS.)

BEHOLD a photo of the most shocking thing ever that you see every day

So everyone in the world is going crazy because Glamour magazine published a picture of a naked fat chick. Exciting.

Amazingly, people are really going nuts. Glamour says they are getting more letters about this than anything they have ever published. (Wait, people still send letters?) People are freaking out, because a fashion magazine has the "balls" to show what real women look like. Double exciting. So, without further adieu here is the picture everyone thinks will change the way the way society percieves women's bodies, end sexism, bring about world peace, and bring us closer to making contact with the alien race hovering just outside our stratosphere, I guess:




(I was going to ignore this, but I am getting a lot of angry emails from my male fans who are tired of all the celebrity penis. This is for you, boys)


Well, here you have it. A picture of a giant fat girl. This very large, obese, heavy, Orca--wait....what? THIS is the picture everyone is so batshitcrazy over?

Someone thinks this is fat? Have these people ever set foot inside a Wal-Mart? Have they ever gone to a state fair? This chick is what we think "fat" is? Please. Give me a break.She looks like Cameron Diaz when she drinks too much beer.

This is how deluded we are about our bodies. We see a normal woman in an actual magazine that doesn't feature a "fetish of the week" or is part of a med student's research proposal....and we freak the fuck out. Yes, I said normal. She looks just like practically every woman on Earth...if you don't like that, I'd like to take you to a mall in Wisconsin sometime. Or show you pictures of every woman in my family. Or let you stand on a street in any city in any country in any part of the world for more than five seconds. Or just punch you in your gut. Your choice.


By the way, GLAMOUR is still around? Isn't this the magazine you only read when you're at the salon and you're stuck under the dryer waiting for your roots to lift? But it's so crappy and dull you toss it aside and end up reading "Modern Salon Magazine" or "Nail Tech Monthly"??


Peace & Love,

Professor Becky Explains It All: "KANYENESE"

I am introducing some new words and phrases into the lexicon and I thought I'd help you all with some new terminology.

Today's lesson: "Kanyenese".

KANYENESE: 1. Native language of many Internet chat room users and bloggers. Can only be spoken in ALLCAPS. Easily detected by the users complete lack of consideration for grammar, punctuation or actual intellect of any kind. As in:

"HEY I AM ALL FOR FREEDOM OF SPEACH WE SHOULD JUS LET PEOPLE TALK ITS THERE RIGHT"

or
"WHY ARE YOU GUYS HATIN ON KANYE HE IS A SUPERSTAR U FOOLS R JUST JEALOUS HE SHOWED YOU AT THAT AWARDS SHOW HE IS A GOOD PERSON AND LOVED HIS MAMA TO AND HE GIVES BACK TO THE COMUNITIE HOW MANY OF U CANSAY THAT"


2. The native language of famed Internet blogger and occasional rap superstar Kanye West, who writes his blog entirely in his native Kanyenese. As in:



"NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE." CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ?????????"



Other bloggers who may be unfamiliar with "Kanyenese" will often make the mistake of directing the blogger/commenter to "turn of your CAPS LOCK!!!!!" However, Internet Sociological Linguists point out that this is often not the case, as it is highly unlikely that most speakers fluent in Kanyenese are even smart enough to know what what a CAPSLOCK button is.

I find it helps when you speak to them in their own language, first of all as it is totally easy to learn, and secondly, it makes others aware that the writer in question is merely speaking in "Kanyenese" and not completely and utterly retarded, as it would appear. Try something like:

"I AM SPEAKING IN YOUR NATIVE KANYENESE TO BEST EXPRESS HOW DUMB I THINK YOUR POINT IS".

So, the next time you are in on the Internets, please be sensitive to those who speak "Kanyenese". Remember, we all one big global community. There's room for all us.


Next week's lesson: What is a "Josie"?


PEACE AND LOVE,

Don't ever do this

OK, people, pay attention. Save yourself the $30 and misery I just endured, should you ever venture down to my "neck of the woods" here in lil' ole Texas.


Koreans + Texas + Sushi = Bad Idea.


Side note: A "California Roll" does not magically become a "Korea Roll" because you slap a piece of Korean BBQ on it. No.


Peace & Love,

Early Oscar Nominations: Which movies sucked the least this year?

It's time to make some early Oscar nominations. Yippee. Considering I have only seen 3 movies in a theater this year, and one of them was Wolverine, this shouldn't be too hard.


You know, I remember when I cared about cinema like it was art. A theater was like a temple. I didn't call them "movies", they were "film", man. I devoted my life, my studies, my every waking moment to the fine art of film making. I had life changing moments, watching the creations of brilliant auteurs like Akira Kurosawa, Jim Jarmusch, and Errol Morris. I experienced ravishing, episodic bursts of raw emotion that no drug could touch. I challenged myself as an artist, to dig deep into my soul and rip out the unfiltered truth of the human existence. I bled cinema, man.



Now movies are just places where I get to eat junk food without feeling guilty that occassionally have a talking dog in them. They are places I go because I'm too tired to fully committ to a night of going out, but driving four miles to the theater at least gives the impression that I have some sort of life. They are places I go with people who I don't hate enough to stop hanging out with, but don't actually like enough want to have to talk to for two hours.




I saw this piece of shit movie. Despite every possible warning in the Universe. I actually went into a movie theater and sat through this. The whole thing. Didn't even get up for candy. Or to use the bathroom. Or to set myself on fire, as a means of alleviating the pain caused by this beastly shit. Yes, I know this is a lot of writing for a picture caption. I don't care. This movie sucked. I mean, did you see this thing? They have their headquarters in Egypt under a freaking pyramid and where Dennis Quaid has an eye patch and he talks to holograms. And also everyone can fly, I guess. And there's some submarines shooting at sharks or something. Then Marlon Wayans got in some plane and shot down a nuclear bomb. And Jonathan Pryce was in this, somehow. Jonathan Fucking Pryce. This is a highly respected actor. I mean, he was in a movie with Al Pacino. He has worked with Martin Scorsesee. He won a Tony award, for Pete's sake. How do you go from all that to being in this dog vomit of a movie? I do not understand what is going on in Hollywood. I mean, does everyone just smoke crack and then decide what movies they're going to make? Is that it? That must be it. Because only crack could make someone go "Gee, this script seems like a good one. This plot doesn't make me want to stick needles in my eye so I never have to see a movie made by these people ever again." What? No, I don't care that now it just seems like I'm "rambling". It's my damn blog, I'll ramble if I want!!! I deserve to rant a little. Look what I've had to endure! So what if I want to go off on a tangent. What are you going to about it? Punish me? I've already been punished...I saw this fucking movie, remember? And besides, who the hell reads all this anyway? Please, this is the Internet. No one reads this much writing. I could talk about anything. I mean, I could sit here and talk about my dog's crap if I wanted to...oh wait. I just did. IT WAS THIS MOVIE. See, I can get away with saying whatever the hell I want. No one makes it this far in the fine print. I could tell people that I masterminded the JFK assassination. Yeah, I could! Hey, every one!! I killed JFK. You know how I did it? Tigers. Yup. That grassy knoll? Pure smokescreen. I used live tigers to do my dirty work. Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy. He was a big cat trainer I had working for me in the travelling circus I ran down in Havana in the late 50s. I had some pretty radical tigers in that circus. Now, on the surface, these tigers were Communist, through and through, pure Castro supporters. But in reality, the cats were part of an anti-Castro para military group. They were into some heavy shit, dude. These tigers were big time. They got their money from the Mob. The JAPANESE Mob. The Yakuza funded the planning for JFK's assassination. But they weren't the only ones in on it. The tigers were too smart for that. They were also secretly working as DOUBLE AGENTS. That's right . They were counter agents. And who was providing them with the means for this elaborate cover? Alien space invaders. From Mars. The same ones that crash landed in Roswell. The same ones that faked the Moon landing. That's what this was all about. See, Martians did not want people discovering that the moon was where they secretly mined for cheese. Yeah, we were right. IT WAS MADE OF CHEESE, only the Martians didn't want to give up their precious dairy mine. Kennedy got too close, when he promised he would put a man on the moon. Martians couldn't have that. Their entire economy is all moon cheese based. So they used some of that money to get rid of their problem, they framed some poor ex-animal trainer and installed a puppet government, friendly to their pro-Martian moon cheese ideals. That puppet government has lasted to this very day. Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, W, even Obama. All protecting the great Martian cheese mine in the sky. Follow the money, you'll find the truth.

Anyway, moving on to my Oscar nom predictions. "District 9" should basically win everything because SHUT IT DOWN THAT MOVIE WAS AWESOME DUDE. Except for Best Supporting Actress, which should go to Marlon Wayans for his stellar, heartbreaking performance in GI Joe. Yes, I know what I just said.

Peace & Love,

Rebecca Rose

Satan probably thinks Auto-Tune is dead, too, I guess.

I am back from my Internet hiatus. Yes, I've decided to get back together with the Internet, and luckily, the crazy people are all still on it.

While I was gone, these people went off their meds and decided that Jay-Z's music is Satanic. That's right. Apparently this:


"Only good gon' come is as good when I'm cumm-ing. She got a ass that'll swallow up a g-string And up top, unh... Two bee stings"

Means you should go kill people for Satan. Obviously.

Yeah, but I bet the Devil doesn't even know what the fuck "Hova" means either.

Look, I don't even know why this is news. I mean, HELLO, We settled this back in 1987. Yes, all of rock and roll is the Devil's music, of course. Jimmy Swaggart figured it out and told us. Satan spreads his message through the music of evil people like Judas Priest and Lionel Richie so they can command the forces of Darkness to do His bidding. Duh. But there is something else troubling me about this.


How do the kids today actually hear Satan's message anyhow?? I mean, because he puts instructions for his evil plans in the lyrics, but you can only hear them when you play them backwards, like on a record player.

I am gravely concerned...with all this digital technology, how is the Lord of Darkness getting his message through to today's youth? Can Lucifer still command people to murder farm animals and buy their clothes at Hot Topic if people are dowloading the music it's hidden in??

I certainly hope that we are not running the risk of ruining the Devil's plans to enslave humanity, just for the sake of convenience.

Peace & Love,

Dear Internet,

Internet. We need to talk. Look...things are going great. I'm not complaining. And yeah, you do make me happy. I mean...we spend so much time together, and yeah, a lot of it is amazing! You've shown me things I never thought I would see. And I want you to know that I appreciate it. All of it....

It's just that...sometimes you can be a little....suffocating. I mean....my whole day revolves around you. I wake up, and I have to see what you did while I was sleeping. Every time I turn around, I'm checking on you, wanting to know what you've been up to...afraid I might have missed something. Dude, I can't even sleep without taking a final peek at you. It's like...I get so wrapped in "us", I forget to be "me", you know?

I don't want you freak out about this, but sometimes....I just want to read a newspaper. It's not because there's anything wrong with you! You're amazing. You're are the fastest, the best I've ever had, without a doubt. But, I guess...I just miss the way a newspaper feels in my hand. How the ink sticks to my fingers. It's so slow and laid back, you know? I need that sometimes.

That's why...I think we need a little "time out". I'm not saying it's permanent. I can't imagine my life without you. You will always, always, be important to me. I still love you, of course. I just need a little break. For some me time. OK?


I hope you understand. I hope you can be cool about this.

Peace & Love

RR

(Yes, I am taking a much needed break. I will back, up and online as soon as I find my sanity. Of course, that may take a while. Peace & Love forever!)

If The Ongoing Conflict in My Head Were a Movie Script

8:00 PM, Friday night, interior Rancho de Rose. A typical exchange between the Angel on Rebecca's shoulder and the Devil on the other.


Rebecca's Angel: Now, remember, we're not going to drink ANYTHING. We have an 7:00 AM Pilates class. And we haven't worked out since Monday.

Rebecca's Devil: Dude, Of COURSE not. Yeah, I'm totally down for getting up early and all that.

Rebecca's Angel: Are you sure? Because you've said that for the last five nights in a row. And then we just start drinking and--

Rebecca's Devil: No, no! Man, I'm just gonna sit here and chill tonight. It's all good.


Rebecca's Angel: I mean, I don't want to be the killjoy here. It's just that we haven't gotten out of bed before 2PM since June. And yesterday we tried to punch our roommate when he knocked on our door at noon to see if we could help clean that mess we made the night before...

Rebecca's Devil: Oh, no I get where your coming from! It's cool! I'm totally taking it easy tonight. Following your lead, for sure! Just gonna kick back and listen to some tunes for a little while.

(3 hours later)

*MUSIC BLASTING LOUDLY*

Rebecca's Angel: (shouting over music) HEY!!! Hey, OK, don't you think it's time for us to go bed??

Rebecca's Devil: WHAT??? Oh. Yeah, man. Just one sec! I'm just gonna finish this drink!

Rebecca's Angel: Ummm....are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, it seems like you've had quite a few already..

Rebecca's Devil: Nahh!!! I have a super high tolerance. It's cool dude! It totally helps me sleep. Stop trippin'! Here, you should have one!

Rebecca's Angel: Um. No. I--I don't think that's a really good idea.

Rebecca's Devil: HEY, I tell you what....You have one...and I totally promise to go to bed. So we can do that whole yoga thing...

Rebecca's Angel: Pilates.

Rebecca's Devil: Yeah, man, whatever you say!! So come on! What's it gonna be??

Rebecca's Angel: Well. I mean, as long as you promise to get to bed. I guess I don't see the harm.

Rebecca's Devil: ROCK ON!!!! Here, drink this!

Rebecca's Angel: What is it?

Rebecca's Devil: Goldschlagger.


2 hours later.....

Rebecca's Angel: Ohhhhh....I don't think I feel so good...this music is really loud. Can we turn it down?

Rebecca's Devil: (engrosed in mixing a drink) We turned the music off an hour ago.

Rebecca's Angel: Oh. Really? Well. I guess this has been fun. It's really getting late. I mean. I don't know how we're going to get enough sleep in time to go Yoga.

Rebecca's Devil: Pilates.

Rebecca's Angel: Oh, right. I knew that. Why am I so confused? My head hurts.

Rebecca's Devil: Here, drink this. It'll help with that headache!

Rebecca's Angel: NO, no, I've had enough.

Rebecca's Devil: COME ON!! Just one more. Then I promise, we're totally off too bed!

Rebecca's Angel: Really?

Rebecca's Devil: Why would I lie?

*DOORBELL RINGING*

Rebecca's Angel: Who is that?

Rebecca's Devil: Awww, nothin'! Just a few people I invited over.

Rebecca's Angel: What??

Rebecca's Devil: Bottom's up!!!

(3 hours later)

Rebecca's Angel: (groggily waking up) Uggghhh...my head. Wh--what's goin' on. Why are we hiding in the garage? And why am I dressed like a Hooters girl?

Rebecca's Devil: (whispering) Shhh..... Be cool, man. Be cool.

Rebecca's Angel: (gasps) Is that the police in our house? And why are all those people naked?

Rebecca's Devil: SHH. Don't worry about that. Here. Hold this. (hands over a small plastic baggie filled with a green substance)

Rebecca's Angel: Wait. Oh my God. Is this what I think it is???

Rebecca's Devil: Relax, man! I was just holding it for a friend. Now just be cool, be cool. I'm gonna run for it. You stay here. Work that whole halo thing, you'll be fine! (takes off running out of sight)

Rebecca's Angel: Oh my God. I think I'm gonna barf. WAIT FOR ME!!! WAAAIIIIT!!!!! (furiously runs after)


To Be Continued.....

Brave Officer Fearlessly Stops Hungry People from Being Fed

Well, wouldn't you know it...I'm associating with criminals again. Of course. Really, it was pretty much inevitable, right?

Anyway, my friend Tom was recently arrested, for his role in an activity that is so sinister, it could only take place in broad daylight.

He was trying to feed homeless people.

It's true. He was. And he wasn't alone. Dozens of evil, missionary volunteers gathered in Butte Park, and planned to serve things like potatoes, chicken, bread and *shudder* macaroni salad to the poor, unsuspecting hungry people. Poor, innocent people, who had no idea their day spent innocently scrounging for food in the trash would be so heartlessly ended when this group of "volunteers" descended on them.

Luckily, in the midst of this, a brave, brave officer happened to spot this devious crime. He approached, fearing not of their hoards of potato and other tossed salads. He bravely put his body in between the hungry people and piles of sandwiches and condiments and other dangerous implements of destruction.

The officer spoke up bravely, telling these church goers that they weren't allowed to feed homeless people in the park. They tried to confuse the officer by stupidly asking him why that would be illegal, but he wasn't tripped up! He responded that they couldn't feed the homeless because the homeless could get poisoned and get sick and then have to go to the hospital. Of. Course.

The most dangerous thing ever.


By brilliantly concocting this made up awesome bullshit, there's no telling how many lives he saved that day. But this brave hero did not stop at mere crazy talk!

Here is Tom, apparently trying to dispose of the evidence. Note the beady, shifty eyes...


He even went so far as to hide one of the homeless, by throwing him in the back of his patrol car, carefully searching through all of his belongings (making sure the "volunteers" hadn't slipped any poison or possibly booby traps in his things, obviously). Thankfully, the officer's valiant efforts prevailed, and the man wasn't forced to eat any food. He we probably spared some sort of vile food poisoning attack. I mean, you never know what these people are capable of:




The work of missionaries, obviously.


Of course, when Evil Criminal Mastermind Tom began to take pictures of the man who got away, presumably so they could track him down again and poison him some more, (or for his Evil Things I Like To Do On The Weekend scrapbook), the officer had had enough. He went on the attack.

I guess he went batshitfuckingcrazy, also:

* Officer: Do you have an ID on you?


Tom: Yes, of course.


Officer: Are you going to show it to me?


Tom: Do I have to? (Umm. No. Not at all. Not unless you are a suspect or a witness There is no law. Because that law would violate the Constitution. And common sense. I'm sure the officer has a basic grasp of both.)


Officer: That's not what i asked. I asked if you are going to show it to me. Are you going to show it to me? (Wait. Huh?)


Tom: Do i have to? If it's a law, i'll do it, but i just want to know. (Again, there is no law. Why isn't the "LAW MAN" with the GUN telling you this???)


Officer: So, i'm assuming you're not going to do it. Are you going to show me your ID? (How about I show you the 12,000 different legal rulings that prohibit you from asking this?)


Tom: Still, do i have to? If so, i'll do it, let me know. (There. Is. No. Law. There is also no Santa Claus, if you want to discuss other shit that doesn't exist.)


Officer: That's it, i asked three times and you didn't show it, so i'm going to have to detain you and take it by force. (Wait, what?? WHAT WHAT WHAT????)



So the officer put Tom in the back of his car, too. Because he is not going to let silly civil rights laws get in the way of his quest to defeat the Food Poisoners. Not even the very law he is sworn to uphold could stand in his way of that.



BUT, this evil plan goes deeper. When contacted for a response, what was the Food Poisoners ridiculous excuse? That they've been feeding homeless in that park for years. They blattantly advertise it. So this has been happening for years, unchecked, right under our noses.




We should all be thankful that the Harris County Sherrif's Department allows retarded people to become cops, or else there never would have been someone there who had the neccessary mental capacity to thwart this evil plan.

Peace and Love,

Rebecca Rose

(*This is allegedly the conversation that occured between Tom and the officer.)

P.S. I know I have lots of awesome cop bloggers and buddies who follow this. I hope they have their sense of humor in full force right now.)

Infamous Animal Murderer Hired by Team Ironically NOT Named After Animal On His Hit List

It's official. Check out your windows. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse should be rolling up any minute now.

Dog killing gambler, Michael Vick, who presumably thinks we are living in the 1400's, has inexplicably escaped becoming a social pariah and been hired by morons who are desperately grasping at straws the Eagles.

Proving that Satan does, in fact, exist, the Eagles have hired Michael "Even-Hitler-Thinks-You're-An-Asshole" Vick to a 2 year deal.



Not Eagles fans...




All I can say is GO COWBOYS.

Check out this Hot Asian Dude: Steve Byrne OMG THIS GUY IS A COMEDIAN I AM GOING TO MARRY HIM DUDE

I would like to introduce you to the new man I am going to stalk:

This Hot Asian Dude (OK, he's half Korean, but whatev) is named "Steve Byrne". Now, normally I don't care what their names are, but this dude is special. Not only is hot. And Asian. He is a stand-up comedian.


*brief pause while my head explodes"


That means he has to "get me". You know? Not like every other loser I date who's constantly whining and all "Please, please stop making all those jokes about me. You are destroying my self esteem." and "I can't take this anymore" and all that blah blah blah. Stupid, unfunny, easily offended men.


I think he just beat out the hot dude from Rush Hour as the Man I Am Destined to Marry (or Be Sued By). He is my new DorkyChineseBikeCop. Let's run down the top reasons why:

1. He is hot.

2. He is also half-Irish. Just like me. (INSERT REQUISITE IRISH DRINKING JOKE HERE)

3. He is fucking hilarious.

4. Our babies would be funny and hot. They would totally kick those dumb Jolie/Pitt kids' asses.


There you go.



Dear Steve: Please direct all restraining orders love letters to rebeccarose2004@yahoo.com

Thank you,

Rebecca Rose

(Seriously, this guy is so funny. Check out his act, you won't be disappointed: http://www.stevebyrnelive.com/2009/)

RIP: John Hughes


Director John Hughes has died after suffering a heart attack this morning. He was 59 years old.


I have no words to describe how sad this is for me. John Hughes not only made the kinds of films that defined a generation, but that helped shape who we became. Not many artists and filmmakers can say that. In the coming days, you're going to hear and see a lot of writers, artists, singers, painters, musicians, filmmakers, poets, photographers and many more talk about how much he influenced them. I am one of them.


If you think I'm funny or insightful or quirky, you can raise your head up to the sky and thank the man that made a little film called "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". My friend Courtney Stickney tape recorded sound bites by holding her Sony boombox up to the movie screen. We used to ditch PE and sit in the bleachers of the gym, and listen to clips from that movie over and over and over and over. And whenever someone says "What are we going to do?" I STILL answer "It's not what we are going to do. It's what we aren't going to do.", because life should always be lived in the spirit of limitless possibilities.
My first real movie star crush was Anthony Michael Hall. His clumsy headgear and oversized glasses made me feel beautiful in mine. And I have yet to see any actress quite capture both the desperate pain and comical longing that comes with being a teenager, quite like Molly Ringwald. And "The Breakfast Club" wasn't just a movie...it was a manifesto.


But more importantly than stellar one liners or breakout performances, John Hughes did something amazing, that changed lives and forever transformed the landscape of the American culture.


He made it OK to be weird.


If you were born before 1977, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Nowadays, being "weird" means piercing some bodily orraface and dying a few chunks of hair blue or something. "Weird" has become little more than another cliche to join, another way of pissing off your parents because they won't buy you a convertable. It's a marketing term. You can buy "weird" at Hot Topic.

But back in the Reagan's 80's, "weird" wasn't so much fun. In school, you were either preppy or a jock...or a complete outcast. Being "weird" meant we were the kind of kids that were always, always picked last...for everything. And we hated life, because we didn't understand that there was so much more to the world than just getting to sit at the cool kids' lunch table. We didn't know or understand how lucky we were to be different and weird. What a gift we we had in the palm of our hands...to be unordinary. But we just thought it was a bad thing.


John Hughes changed all that. You watched his films and you felt like he had crawled in your head and lived your life. They were about people, living your life, struggling with your problems. His heroes were never the popular, beautiful people. They were the outcasts, the nerds, the geeks, the freaks, the fatties, the dorks, the melvins, the losers, the weirdos. And they were sort of awesome. He made it OK to be weird. To be a freak. To be DIFFERENT. He made it cool to be uncool.


And Generation X came in with a roar. We let everyone know we no longer gave a good shit if we fit in or not. We sat at the cool kids' lunch table and laughed in their faces when they told us to leave. We celebrated the things we were good at, like music and art and writing. We embraced our rejection from mainstream society.










We had fun doing things we thought were cool, like playing guitar or writing stories or telling jokes or reading comic books. We liked being weird. Some of us got pretty good at it.







Best of all, he made it OK for one hopelessly dorky, deviantly satirical young girl to just be her lovely, nerdy, goofy, ridiculously insane self. So thank you, John.


As I sit here on my birthday, mourning the loss of a man who's art so profoundly affected me, and helped me love the person I have become, I can only think of one thing.

His own words:

Dear Mr. Vernon,

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is that we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms and in the most convenient definitions....


But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain.

And an athlete.

And a basket case.

A princess.

And a criminal.


Does that answer your question?

Sincerely yours,

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

Everything I need to know about life I learned from watching "COPS"

"COPS" is celebrating like it's 800th year on the air. Which they are seriously milking for all it's worth, because that show is on something like 90 fucking times a day.



I love this damn show. I think other than weird foreign videos with hot Asian dudes, this is basically the only thing I ever watch. I mean, it provides and fulfills every basic entertainment need you could possibly ever have: Car chases, moments of delightful hilarity, profound glimpses into this tragic little dance we call life, and lots of drunk people in trailer parks fighting the police in their underwear. What more could we ever want?

Also, much like the classic ABC After School Special or re-runs of The All New Ewoks, it is a show that imparts some serious life lessons, wisdom that helps us grow as individuals and (dare I say?) as a civilization. Here are some of the amazing true facts I learned from this show:

1. If you borrow someone else's pants, bag or car, it will have drugs in it. Obviously. Now, I always foolishly thought the point of getting your hands on some drugs was to actually take the drugs and get high as a motherfuckingkitehellyeah. But apparently, that is not the case at all! See, drug addicts like to buy the drugs, but instead of actually using them...they like to put them in other people's things. Like in the homes of strangers they barely know. Or in the pants' pockets or purses of those same people. Or in cars that they have recently borrowed or sat in. Places where police discover them, seemingly in the possession of violent ex cons with long extensive histories of possessing or selling drugs perfectly innocent victims of circumstance. Also, this show has made me swear to never ever ever ever borrow anything from anyone ever. Ever. Because apparently everything that has been loaned has drugs in it.


2. Every single person in the world with a backpack is a heroin mule. Seriously. Unless you are hiking Half Dome and need to keep a handy supply of carbs close by, what grown adult walks around with a fucking backpack? This also applies to fanny packs, because unless you are 90 and visiting "the Big Apple", there is no other purpose for this dumb thing than to store all the meth that someone else obviously put in there.


3. If you drive around with your windows open, strangers will just throw drugs, stolen property, or sometimes, massive quantities of money in your car just coincidentally seconds before you are stopped by police. This could be amazing for all of us who like getting free things! But sadly, this only ever seems to happen to lucky violent ex cons with long extensive histories of possessing or selling drugs perfectly innocent victims of circumstance.


4. The vagina is a perfectly logical place to store things. Yes. It is.

5. No one ever drinks more than 2 beers. Ever. Because all it takes to get so blindly, insanely drunk that you do things like drive your car backwards down the interstate in the median for hours straight or attempt to rob a Burger King wearing nothing more than your underwear and Spongebob mask is 2 beers.


6. It is very, very, very hard to remember your own name, date of birth, where you live, your Social Security number, what you were doing or where you were five minutes before the police stopped you, and basically all other personal information about yourself. Very hard. So, so hard. I surprised that any of us know who or where we are right now, and I am outraged that the medical community has not done more to look into what is clearly a very serious cerebral affliction.

7. Police lights and sirens are basically undetectable, no matter how close they get to cars they are trying to stop. They are constantly not being seen 0r heard by violent ex cons with long extensive histories of committing the worst kind of crimes and leading police on long psychotic chases for hours on end and possessing and selling drugs in such implausibly massive quantities that you would have to be a severely brain damaged monkey to not realize that they are CRIMINALS, DAMNITT who lie, cheat and steal at every turn and should never ever ever be believed when they open their lying mouths because all that comes out is HORSESHIT perfectly innocent victims of circumstance. The police should really work on this, because it just seems so illogical to not have those things a little bit more louder or brighter or something.

Did you see how this just snuck up on us? No, of course you didn't.

And last, but not least, let us not forget the best lesson of this show. "COPS" reminds me that no matter how shitty my life is, no matter how low I’ve sunk, or how bad I think I’ve fucked things up for myself…at least I haven’t had to have my ass crack blurred out on national TV.

Well, I hope this has helped you grow in your life-wisdom just a teeny little bit. Or at the very least, stopped you from ever wearing pants that aren't yours.

Peace & Love,

And the award for creepiest shit ever on the Internets goes to....

So my buddy Dave is scouring the Internets to find the perfect shoes to complete the perfect Big Lebowski costume. He has found some really cool pieces for his Dude ensemble. Unfortunately, he also came across this crazy shit:


"Boys in Plastic Sandals: Pictures of boys wearing plastic sandals"





"I' m 99 percent sure those were taken before the Internet existed...so someone out there took the time to put them online...and why did they have them in the first place?"--Dave



Why did they have them, take them, keep them and decide "Yeah...boys in plastic sandals. The Internet needs that." Who. Fucking. Does. This? I can't believe we have this website in our browser history. We're probably on some FBI list now. Yeah, we're totally on the "list". HEY FBI, DAVE MADE ME DO IT BLAME HIM I WILL TURN STATES EVIDENCE. I AM NOT KIDDING I WILL WEAR A WIRE AND ALL THAT.


Peace & Love,

RR

How not to e-flirt with a Jealous Bitch

I got this email. From a moron. It was on myspace, which explains why it so poorly worded and annoying. This validates why I, along with all other sane people, have abandoned that shit site.

Here is Captain Asstard's email:

"you are hot, are you for real a readhead? You forgot to accept my friends request in a timly manner and to continue not to do so may result in me coming to your house and drink alllll your beer! Obviously I am attached and not supposed to be cruising myspace, so we have to keep it on the down low. Do you have a webcam?"

oohhhh boy. This is going to be fun. Like drunk at a theme park fun.

Of course, I had to respond:


"Seriously? You seriously sent that email. Wow. I mean, just...wow. I have read some assanine emails from some assanine losers, but you take the assanine cake. Awesome. You know, I would be a total bitch to you for trolling on myspace like some perverted loser who's one step away from landing himself in a hidden camera segment on Dateline: To Catch a Predator....But it's clear that you are severely mentally retarded, so in the name of human decency, I will just tell you to fuck off."


*sigh*

I am so good at this kind of stuff, it's almost criminal that I can't make money at it. Because I would be a billionaire by now.


Peace & Never ever send me crap like this or I will make you my on-line prison bitch,

Rebecca Rose

p.s. And before you all start with the "What are you doing on Myspace, you loser!"emails....I only signed in so I could check out my friend James and his awesome music. The shit I do for friends.

Miracle Sighting of God in New York City!!!!

These beautiful, breathtaking images were shot earlier this week, and clearly show God, in his flawless mortal form, effortlessly blending in on the streets of New York. During his brief time in the City, he blessed humanity with many wonderous, hot acts.


Here he is, performing the Miracle of the Sacred Ukelele:





And here is, giving aid and comfort a very, very old woman:


And here, he seems deeply troubled. One can only speculate at what vast, inexplicable mystery of the Universe has stirred the mind of God in such a way.

"Wait. Did I set my Tivo to record NYC Prep?"



Pax and Love,
