Bobcat Scuffle

If you didn’t see the blowout game between OSU and OU (Ohio University, not Oklahoma) I’m not surprised unless you live in Ohio. Of course OU went in as huge underdogs and OSU needed to bring in a team they could beat. It was pretty much a massacre, as OSU knew it would be or else they wouldn’t have played them – let’s all remember that!

Now, being from Ohio people are shocked I HATE the Buckeyes. I don’t love Michigan or anything like that, just a team I’ve never really liked. So, needless to say I was happy how Rufus the Bobcat took down Brutus Buckeye prior to the game. I think this has gotten more press than the game. Sure it’s not sportsman like but it’s funny and in the end this game was all about humor and cash money dollar bills.

What Does This Mean?

I don't know how this video escaped me all these years but it is hilarious! My first week of work consisted of a lot, including meeting the client, research, BBQs, Happy Hours and one funny breakfast at IHOP where I learned about this video.

You have to listen to the sound to find it funny. Then imagine watching this at IHOP on an iPhone and people can't see what you're watching they can only hear it. ENJOY!

Picture Paints A Thousand Words

Over the weekend I was hanging with one of my friends who was cracking up at a picture another one of our friends sent us via text. All of us get these all the time and they crack us up so I though I would share a few of them that make me laugh when I see them. I have a ton more but they are really not Internet appropriate.

Photo #1
Yep that's me barefoot and shoeless in a bar at about 1A. Right before this photo was snapped I turned to my friend and said "I just wanna dance". And this came after - dancing shoeless in a bar hair flipping, booty popping and dropping - Sunday was awful!



Photo #2
This was a Jimmy Buffet concert so enough should be said about this photo. This was taken after many Corona's, tequila shots and baking in the parking lot sun for hours. At this point in the day I think I had just enough partying in me I was actually considering kissing his parrot.


Photo #3
This is me in Jodie's car, Tiffany or Penny (I can't remember), mocking the neck rest in the backseat for those long car rides she apparently goes on. We were laughing not only at the neck rest but also remembering that in high school I had a Mickey Mouse painted onto the bumper of my Honda (it came with the car). This night ended up just as funny as it started - good times!

Photo #4

A practical joke pulled on Paul at the office. We found an old bottle of wine that looked like urine so we put it in this mason jar with a cute little note to HR: Dear Rachel, Your office was locked so here's my "sample" there shouldn't be a problem. Ps. Sorry, I had asparagus for lunch.

Photo #5 & 6
I truly love my dog Chili so I couldn't not have a photo of her in here. Photo 5 is Chili monster getting ready to fly home from Gigglemoor. She's is pretty spoiled and only flies private so here she is all strapped in the back seat ready to go. Photo 6 is Jim and Chili in the Giggle Truck just being cute, I love them so much!

Telling It Like It Is

First off, I watch Gossip Girl and I'm not afraid to be 28 and admit it! If you read my blog you know there are much worse things I watch. Anyhoo, last week I caught the most amazing commercial during Gossip Girl, which is rare thanks to DVR! I thought it was a joke at first but after some research have come to discover it's a whole movement to have women not be so embarrassed about their period.

Kotex has taken a different approach and tried to discover why people are so freaky about periods with their U by Kotex campaign. Basically, Kotex has created a campaign that mocks the past several years of Period ads that have been in media. You can see in this first ad they are mocking the pretty girl at funny angles telling you what to buy AND of course wearing white - If you are a girl you know you never wear white while on your period.



In the next video, found on the Kotex website, you see a real women telling you how she wouldn't do all these things featured in the commercial. Like yeah, when I'm on my period I want to dance and do cartwheels through an open field? Who were these creative geniuses making the first ads?



As I mentioned, after seeing this ad I immediately went and checked out their website only to discover there are several hilarious videos giving you the real dish about your period. Check out this undercover video of a man buying tampons for his girlfriend, or this video and see how people are so afraid to say the word vagina or penis (that was even hard to type) and last check out this one and make sure to take care of your beaver, it's the only one you have!

Happy April Fool's Day

I saw this ad the other day and it made me laugh. It's April Fool's Day and I could put a good joke in here but I got nothing so instead enjoy this joke.

Rough Rider

The trend in jeans for awhile was to keep things low, low riders, hip huggers, butt crack viewers, etc. I'm going to admit I struggle with this too, because a lot of jeans I put on I love but when I bend over without a belt everyone can view my moneymaker.

Well, a Japanese fashion designer has come up with a solution, the Bikini Jean! She designed this lovely fashion jean because women complained about having trouble keeping their low rise jeans up, so she created a pair that acts as underwear and jeans.

If you want a pair you can get them for the low price of $88. I'm not sure I'd really want to rock these out in public and can only imagine how painful they might be on your lady parts - GROSS!

Remember ladies, not every trend is for everyone as this lady show us below.

What Would You Say?

I haven’t mention Paul recently, but he gave me this great idea for a blog the other day. We were working out in the back room at work and the conversation about Navy Seals came up. Basically, we were talking about how tough they are and the training they have to go through. The term “SEAL” comes from their mission to be able to operate anywhere in the world: Sea, Air, and Land –I mean that just shows they are trained and able to conquer anything!

One caveat, you must be a male to be a Navy Seal. At first I was curious why can’t a female be a Navy Seal so I did a lot of research and the best answer I came up with can be found here – but the gist is men are stronger, personal hygiene reasons and physical capabilities. Even though I’m all about equality it makes sense to me and probably is accurate. Other thing, you have to be ready to get your butt kicked for months on end. Click here to learn more about it but if carrying logs, 4 hours of sleep in 5 days, working out in freezing water temperatures and basically self torture are things you are into then this it the job for you!

So why is all this talk of Navy Seals leading into the point of my blog – well Navy Seals have a lot of motto's, such as "The only easy day was yesterday!" After talking about all the stuff they do and how everything is so extreme, it was brought up that they do everything hotter and wetter. Of course we got a good laugh out of this one and a good “that’s what she said”. And the next thing you know we were talking about how that should be a bumper sticker on my car, “I do everything hotter and wetter”.

Car bumper stickers, whatever happened to those? Personally, I’m not a big fan of promoting things on my car but sometimes it is acceptable. For example, having a college sticker when you are in college on your car. Things I don’t find acceptable: political or religious view bumper stickers, bumper stickers letting me know you child is a straight A student or stickers telling me your opinion on war. Apparently others don’t like political stickers either, it can get you kicked out of events!

However, if I were forced to select a bumper sticker it would be a reflection of our conversation around Navy Seals – I do everything hotter and wetter. Imagine the conversation people would have about that when they pulled up behind me. Then when they drive by and glance at the crazy person with this sticker they come to find a normal looking girl probably wearing workout clothes and a sweaty headband.

Just for kicks, the picture below is a bumper sticker I found online. It is true and cracks me up, anyone I know with a truck and I’m moving I’m gonna hit you up! What would your bumper sticker say?

When Bored...

You could always Facebook Stalk. Everyone does it, by joining you open yourself up to be stalked and then you chat about the craziness later with your closest friends. I came across this Bingo chart on HolyTaco.com that made me laugh. The only thing missing is "When engaged all they talk about for next year is wedding" - I know a chick doing that now and she is about to get defriended, enough with the about to go from Miss to Mrs. and Husband to Be - guess what, I get it, I don't care enough already!

Getting Fit For Christmas

My goodness, what a crazy whirlwind the past few days were. I think I ate, drank and laughed my way through Christmas this year. Santa was good to me and our families and I'm ready to get back on track and start the New Year off right!

I opened my computer this morning to a late Christmas digital card from an old friend Andy that cracked me up This is the second one I believe they have done and it's pretty funny this year. The music is original from Scott, who also is a friend, and a fun way to bring Christmas spirit.

This is it for Christmas and the video seems fitting as it's almost the New Year and time to get fit for a lot of people!

Recapping A College Night

So this past week has been extremely busy, with work, the Holidays, parties, Chili, shopping and much more. I’m sure everyone is in the same boat as me. Additionally, Jim and I are getting ready to head to Colorado for some fun tomorrow! We are planning to go hang out with friends, ski and just relax a little after his big promotion and our hectic schedules – I’m pretty excited.

I am ready to get away, relax and have a weekend without a holiday party to host or attend. Today, I came across this funny video that mocks “I Gotta A Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas and spins it into a hangover/what happened video/song. I gotta admit I used to have a lot of nights like this in college, but the older I get the less of them I have. Well who are we kidding, I probably still have one a month but it usually results in a lot of false promises like “I’m never drinking again.”

No matter if we have all had a night like this guy I bet everyone can relate to the lost cell, drunken fight with a lover and that there is nothing better than a McD’s diet coke and salty fries the morning after drinking. McD's diet coke and salty fries is almost like an instant cure. If you drank a Hoist the night before then by adding on the greasy food it is definitely a cure (had to get that plug in here,)

Anyway, enjoy taking a step back into college life for a minute and watch this video.

I Be Pumping My Fist

It’s been released, the Top 10 most watched shows of the decade. I’m going to have to say I agree with some of them, but others I could do without.

Friends is the number 1 most watched show of the decade and I’m going to have to say I agree. I grew up in the Friends era. Long before TiVo’s and Internet TV where we actually made sure to be in front of the TV for that beloved half hour and didn’t even get up to go to the restroom. I think it's still a common word in a lot of salons - I'll take the “Rachel Cut” - whether her short bob or her longer layered look. I don’t know about you, but I still can’t resist a good jam session to “I’ll Be There For You”.

Right up there with Friends in my book is Frasier. I was a kid when Cheers ended but I used to watch it over ice cream with a snuggled up Beagle at my feet with my Dad. So when Frasier spun off I had to watch it. Surprisingly, I liked it and watched it all the way to the end, following the longest love story ever told. I will also give them Spin City, even thought I never watched it I appreciate the triumph that Michael J Fox had over Parkinson’s and worked to lead a regular life before disclosing his disease to the rest of the world.

I’ll accept Survivor as it’s still running, American Idol even though I can’t stand it, ER cause it was the first in the over dramatic hospital shows that now paint our screens weekly and I used to watch it, Grey’s Anatomy because it’s the new ER, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire cause I tuned in to see someone win a million dollars, and Everybody Loves Raymond cause my Mom liked it.

But, I can’t believe Joe Millionaire made the Top 10 List! WHAT? A show about a man who was supposed to have a lot of money and woman swooned over him only to discover it was a big lie! It just makes women look so bad. Not all of us are money hungry plastic bimbos looking for a husband to take care of us. It just made woman look awful and it was no surprise the relationship didn’t last, just like the show.

So, I’m ok with the list. At first I thought Seinfeld was missing, but then discovered it ended in 1998 falling just short of the decade drop off. I can’t wait to see the list 10 years from now – it will be packed with reality TV and junkie TV that I like to watch. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jon and Kate Plus 8 is on that list- boo!

All I know is that the trashiest most ridiculous show out there right now is Jersey Shore on MTV but I tell you what, I’m watching it and I be pumping my fist everywhere I go!

Does He Exist- The Lizard Man?

This could quite possibly be the blog that you read and are like,WTF, I knew you were weird but now I’m just concerned you are on drugs. I’ve had this debate a few times in the past years but yesterday I got talking about this in the office and my curiosity got the best of me and I had to do some digging. So here it goes, the story, the research and my conclusion.

As a kid we always traveled to Kiawah Island every summer for two weeks. We would go to Charleston, hang on the beach, golf, alligator hunt, crab, fish and hang out as a family. This was long before Kiawah became popular and is now a hot spot and full of hotels. I can remember one summer we were there and there was all this talk about the “Lizard Man.” People were told to watch out for this monster because he has been known to eat license plates and small dogs and scare locals and tourist alike. As kids, we were really scared of this and convinced ourselves he existed and even went out and got the T-Shirts to prove it to our friends back home.

So, of course yesterday over lunch I begin to share this story and my belief in this monster and everyone was puzzled. They had never heard of this monster. They were convinced I was thinking of “The Swamp Thing” but I knew it wasn't the Swamp Thing but something else, I can remember seeing it on Unsolved Mysteries. Which I’d like to make a note about here – if this is your strongest point in your argument at the time you discuss it you need to do more research. This just made me seem crazier than before when I began to discuss the red eyed car eating lizard that stalked us this summer as a kid. But, I knew it was for real and I hadn’t made this up so I had to do some research.

First research, calling my brother. Who when I immediately asked him about that summer his response was, “yeah, I forget the name of it but I once watched an episode on it on MonsterQuest- it scratched peoples cars and left bite marks that left people baffled!” Now folks, you may think I’m exaggerating his response and he didn’t say the word MonsterQuest or baffled but it’s true- both of them, and yes he is 29. He then went on to add how we both bought T-Shirts and were scared driving at night down the deserted roads from Charleston to Kiawah. (Again, this was before the Ryder Cup was played there and Kiawah became a hot spot)

Bingo, this first lifeline or research contact lead me to my next place to look – MonsterQuest. At first I didn’t find anything other the the Swamp Thing footage until I noticed a file that said “MonsterQuest Cold Case – The Lizard Man” and BAM, I found his name and some footage. Click here to check out some monsters on the show (you will have to search Lizard Man to find the videos I reference).

Then of course, Paul, told me nothing is real unless it’s on WikiPedia and now that I have the name of this monster I look it up and BAM, here it is! Exactly as I had described: The Lizard Man is described as being 7 feet tall, bipedal and well built, with green scaly skin and glowing red eyes. It is said to have three toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand which end in a circular pad on them that stick to walls. The creature has an incredible degree of strength, more than capable of ripping into a car. – EXACTLY as I described in my discussions.

Well, then wouldn’t you know it I see a link at the bottom of the Wikipedia explanation to a CNN Video! WHAT? I thought my Unsolved Mysteries was a good argument but the fact that my monster has made CNN? Check out the video here! I have slowly built a case that this is a real thing, the T-Shirt I bought did exist, that monsters may be out there, that the Lizard Man did eat license plates, stalked people that summer in South Carolina and I am not just a crazy lady who believed in a story I was told as a little girl.

So what all began in 1988, when I was 7, as a car getting mauled and 10 eye witnesses claiming they saw this monster has developed 20 years later to another car mauling with blood left behind. Unfortunately the blood was contaminated and could not be identified to a certain species, but that may tell us something. I’m not saying I believe or don’t believe in this monster, but it’s somewhat been haunting my life since a little kid. All I'm saying is even if I tell you a crazy wild weird story and I swear it is true, believe me, because I will find the proof that I'm not crazy and it may exist. And, if you are driving through South Carolina and you have the expensive license plates, vanity plates, you may want to rethink your way - just sayin!

I Hairdly Recognized You

Wow, that title is sooo cheesy but amazing all at the same time.

I came across this video in my YouTube subscriptions and almost fell out of my chair laughing . It’s not so much the video but the crowds reactions that got me.

First of all, I also want to know who went to this event? Why on earth would you go to see this? I guess that’s why the crowds reactions are so hilarious and enthusiastic a the freelance beard. Listen closely, the best is the man screaming like a little girl “It opened, it opened”!

On a side note. I’m off to Tampa tomorrow morning for work and then Austin, TX for family time with Jim’s family and some college football. So, if you can stand it, you will have to go all weekend without me!

Monster Mash

I know, these are so cheesy but they crack me up! I've been promising a funny good post for Paul and he's been stalking me for days about it- so here it goes!

The Monster Mash video card....Happy Halloweenie!

As mentioned, it features Paul as the vampire for obvious reasons (you know, the guy who sneaks around at night and sucks people's blood), Jodie as the main evil doc because she's sneaky and seem all sweet on the outside but has an evil side, Jim as the wear wolf man because of the chest hair hanging out of his shirt, Rob as Frankenstein because I already had a Rob head made and then me:)

If you like dumb humor and crack up at things like this enjoy...really enjoy Jim's ROAR at the end!

The Good Old Pocket Dial

Hello, butt is that you? We all know this commercial that we chuckled about but totally have gotten this phone call before. I have and a lot of times.

Nothing is worse than checking out your call log and being like, WHAT, I called them at 3:30 AM Saturday night? No, this isn't a drunk dial to an ex or booty call, but the drunk dial that your butt made to your co-worker of brother that probably consisted or a lot of fuzzy noises and giggling.

I always get these from Jim's sister MJ - she is notorious for the butt dial. She blames it on having me in her favorites, which is nice, but they usually come at odd hours during the week (College kids!) I tend to butt dial my brother a lot, so I guess it might have something to do with the favorites, but MJ's butt dials are always extremely interesting.

Just to give you a few: Once time she was traveling in a car full of girls, they were talking about what kind of meat they like to eat, ya know, steak, pot roast, etc. get your mind outta the gutter folks! The other time she was walking into a movie with her sister Molly, they were going to a chick flick so it was a lot of, OMG, No way, OTH (please check texting blog).

This blog is totally random but I was just thinking about it because I got pocket dialed last night!

Our Future Is In Their Hands!

Sure, as a kid our parents used to say to us...our future is in your hands. Basically, once we were old enough to make a difference and view the world how we wanted, the rest of the world would follow. It's history right? Things change and people adapt and usually the younger generation is leading the cause!

Well, this 10 year old boy who lives in Orlando, FL is keeping up with technology (thanks to some help from parents I'm sure) and started his own video blog. It has random things on it, like how to make pickles, him singing, him being a kid but it's the video below that caught my attention online.

For all you Internet geeks out there that spend time surfing the web and love sites that share totally random facts about the Internet, like urlesque.com, then you may know about the "Code Monkey". Basically, this guy Jonathan Coulton, wrote and developed this YouTube song/video about being a "Code Monkey" in the Internet world (Paul, my stalker, this is you).

I love this video for several reason, but will give you my top 3 below:

1. It's funny since the kid probably isn't able to view more than 50% of Internet videos and blogs due to his age
2. I am very intrigued that he painted on a work shirt with a pocket protector but then painted his face like a cat - his 10 year old imagination is taking over thinking a cat could wear a pocket protector (duh, we all know that only dogs can do this since they are smart and not creepy)
3. The song is kind of addicting.

So, enjoy the video and have fun thinking that as we get older kids like this are going to rule the world.

Duel Personalities

So, with all this sad dog talk I thought I'd switch it up and post a lighthearted blog. I wouldn't have thought to post about this funny conversation, if it wasn't for Paul who is obsessed with my blog and it's all he ever thinks about.

So today at work we got talking today about dogs and how you can totally tell a lot about the dog owner by the personality of the dog. I'm sure you've heard of this, right? Like, somehow magically the dog owner and the dog share a bunch of tendencies.

It's totally true, think about every person you know that has owned a dog for awhile and then think about the personalities of each of them. I'll give you some examples. Take Paris Hilton and Tinkerbell, or Jessica Simpson and Daisy, Perez Hilton and Teddy - the list could go on and on. So, I began to think about people I know and what their dogs would be like...I mean we did this for hours so I just wanted to name few. After reading this blog, immediately waste some time thinking about the people you know.

I decided that Jim's dog, if he had his own and didn't share one with me, would be the dog that likes to seclude himself from others and is always getting into the liquor cabinet and is absolutely appalled by rolling in the dirt. Paul's dog would be the dog who is always trying to clown around for everyone and make them laugh, you could also find these dog running the streets alone late at night looking into every one's window. Annie's dog would be the one who's sweet in front of all the owners, but as soon as it is just the dogs and no humans, is the biggest trouble maker. Finally, Emily's dog would be the one who tries to sell you drugs and later cuts you with a switchblade.

Again, I could do on forever but I do find it to be a very interesting fact and very true. PS, if you don't know Emily and you meet her on the streets run the other way.

Don't Mind Me...I'm Just Napping

In all my travels I love playing the game "Choose One or Die". Are you asking yourself, what is that game, I've never heard of it, sounds risky but I like it? Well don't beat yourself up to bad, I made it up one day while on an airplane reading the best shopping magazine ever - Sky Mall!

In all serious, that magazine is just funny. It has all sorts of dumb gifts and things you never need. So, back to the game...WARNING: Once you learn it you won't be able to not play it, even if next to a stranger on the plane.

It's a simple and easy game and it goes like this. Find one person to play with, if need be and in middle seat you can, play with 3. Open each page and you HAVE to choose what item you would order if it were life or death. Sounds easy huh? Well imagine a page packed with nose hair clippers, foot detox pads, bird soap dispensers and backyard gnomes in princess gowns- tough choice huh?

Best case scenario, you end up with the "Don't Mind Me I'm Napping Pillow". I want to know, if anyone reading this blog has ever seen this on a plane - let me know! Seriously, if the dude or dudette sitting next to me blew this thing up and slept I would pee all over the seat (which would immediately end their nap). Is this considered a carry on? If not, I'm pissed because my purse counts and that makes me mad!

So, if what you need is a Home Neck Stretching Kit or Cat Pillow Heating Pad you can play the game for real. Pickup a Sky Mall Magazine, it's jammed packed with all sorts of things you never knew you needed until now - like the travel sleeping pillow pictured to the left!

Play Him/Her Off

Play Him/Her Off, Keyboard Cat! Have you heard about this? If not, you probably don't surf YouTube as often as I do or do not fall into the click here traps on blogs.

Well, the whole idea behind Keyboard Cat is that when someone or something messes up you cut to the video of the keyboard cat. So when someone falls, messes up their lines, etc. you cut to a clip of the keyboard cat and then repeat their mess up after. See video below.



Well, we do a lot of filming at work for workout videos and products. This week while filming, Nicole made a boo boo on the prize we are giving away for a competition and then couldn't stop thinking about keyboard cat. Watch the clip below for a chuckle, thanks to Paul for sending me this.
