Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Vampires

20 bad lessons girls learn from Twilight (h/t Fausta). As if our girls aren’t confused enough by the mixed messages from media vs school vs parents vs peers, along comes Twilight to make it worse. Samples:

4. If a boy tells you to stay away from him because he is dangerous and may even kill you, he must be the love of your life. You should stay with him since he will keep you safe forever.
7. It is extremely romantic to put yourself in dangerous situations in order to see your ex-boyfriend again. It’s even more romantic to remember the sound of his voice when he yelled at you.
9. Because they come back, you should hold out, waiting for them for months, even when completely acceptable and less-abusive alternative males present themselves.
14. If the boy you are in love with causes you (even indirectly) to be so badly beaten you end up in the hospital, you should tell the doctors and your family that you “fell down the steps” because you are such a silly, clumsy girl. That false explanation always works well for abused women.
20. Vampires — once among the great villains of literature and motion pictures — are no longer scary. In fact, they’re every bit as whiny, self-absorbed and impotent as any human being.

Once You Go Jack, You’ll Never Go Back

Well, this is a surprise – an award that wasn’t immediately coughed up to Barack Obama. People Magazine picks Johnny Depp as their 2009 Sexiest Man Alive.

Actually, no, it’s not really a surprise. Johnny has always been high on “the list” of favored eye candy. If they weren’t going to pick Mark Harmon, then JD is a fine choice indeed. Yes, indeedy, a very fine choice.

Ahem, here he is without the pirate hat, you know, just for comparison purposes, you know -

UPDATE: Evidently, GQ got the memo.

Random Random Bo Bandom Bananaramablogbursties

Friday the Thirteenth… if you’re superstitious, you don’t leave the house. Miraculously, I made it to work and back today without being smushed like a bug or falling into one of Atlanta’s famous potholes. Go figure.

In honor of things thirteeny, here is a list of the top thirteen random things that caught my eye today:

13. Trog sees dead planets.

12. Three UT freshmen football players arrested last Friday for armed robbery, with a semi-automatic pellet gun, one wearing school spirit attire, and the getaway car was a Prius. Honestly, folks, I couldn’t make that one up if I tried. “Impossible is Nuthin.” Stop it, I can’t breathe!

11. “This blog hopes that there is a camera trained on Princess Pelosi when [Lt. Col Alan] West gives her The Look and her botox freezes solid.”

10. Dear heavens, that woman needs a real stylist. Without a belt fetish.

9. Pelosi, a cheat? Who’ve thunk it…

8. Lunch today at La Fonda Latina (new Howell Mill Rd location). The Quesadilla con Camarones was superb.

7. Ree goes to WallyWorld.

6. Carroll County is one county over. (h/t Gerard)

5. I’ll take The Cost of Narcissism for $500, Alex. Bizzzzzzt… “What is $1.4 trillion, just in fiscal year 2009?”

4. 14, not 13.

3. Flag? What flag?

2. What part of this does the Obama WH not understand?

1. The best Christmas list evah. I’m gonna print this sucker off, stick it on the fridge and make sure EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE can perform all these things. We will survive.

The Bill Sparkman Murder Report

Stacy has started his reporting on the Bill Sparkman murder in Clay County, Kentucky. Check back often as he unfolds the story.

And while you’re at it, Smitty’s (Stacy’s #1) blegging for votes at IowaHawk’s Steel Cage Death Match. Vote for #9. There’s also a cool Star Wars themed poster as well.

Major Awesomeness

(H/T Leon at RedState) Beautiful music at BlueShelled:

I’d Watch MSNBC for This….

Moe Lane ponders advice to MSNBC on how to increase its viewership. Shoot, I’d watch for that!

The Land of the Living is Just Over the Horizon

On the mend… in the meantime, a little Rule 5 Happiness for The Ladies. And as much as I’d like to lie, Lance, that is NOT me playing the Bach #3. I just love these morphie thingies. Know what would make it picture perfect? If Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were replaced by Mark Harmon.

The Doctor is IN

Dr. R.S. McCain has hung out his shingle in this new age of ObaMedicine. Put down all liquids; send the little ones upstairs for their bath – you’ve been warned!

Proud Member of the Angry Mob

Yeah, I know, I really look like a rabble-rousing mobster. Like these other mob members.

Via Trog:

proud-member-of-the-angry-mob

Funny, it reminds me of this…Inspector Kemp and his mob.

Inspector Kemp

Every self-respecting mob needs a leader, and Inspector Kemp was outstanding in his role. Such organization, such rhetoric, such aim, such sound effects! Our government no longer resembles a thoughtful, deliberate body of legislators and is quickly descending into a silly parody of Young Frankenstein outtakes.
