The Snuggie Blanket Spoof

2009-02-16 by Jessica dans What we like

Have you heard about the Snuggie Blanket? It’s the one-size fit all blanket with sleeves! It makes warm and cozy walking, sitting, reading, and talking on the phone as easy as slipping on a hospital gown (or a backwards robe).

Now that you know a bit about the Snuggie Blanket…have you heard of the WTF Blanket? Check it out:

My favorite part was the family sitting in the stands…the little girl dressed like Hermione, except with sleeves that were way to long! My dad was embarassing enough from the stands without the help of the Snuggie Blanket…thank goodness it hadn’t been invented yet!

Top 10 Favorite Bush Moments

2009-01-06 by Jessica dans What we like

David Letterman’s Top 10 list can be hit or miss. I often love them, but I am often left a bit disappointed, too. This is one not be forgotten, however: Top 10 Favorite Bush moments. Letterman has done Top 10 Bush moments before, but the most recent one, with 8 years of footage to pull from, will make you laugh non-stop! My favorite is when he talks about the emotions surrounding immigration and then stops mid-sentence.

Which one is your favorite? Do you have one that didn’t make the cut? What is it?


Fat Talk Free Week

2008-10-15 by Jessica dans What we like

Do you have friends that are walking calorie counters? Who always say, “Oh, I shouldn’t” whenever you offer them anything other than a rice cracker? Or that constantly talk about starting, stopping, failing, or succeeding at diets? Any of your friends can’t stop mentioning how fat they are? Always wish you coud keep them quiet about fat long enough to let you eat your double chocolate fudge cheesecake guilt free? Well, now is the week!

It’s FAT TALK FREE WEEK!!!! Read again, not FAT FREE TALK WEEK…FAT TALK FREE WEEK!!! So for all you food obsessed people out there…shhhh…find new topics, enrich yourselves, and let the rest of us nourish ourselves in peace! Your weight is not who are you. I know it’s hard, but we need to stop judging ourelves based on our bodies…there are much more important things in the world! Start accepting yourself for who you are!!!

So head to this TriDelta Sorority initiative’s website and promise to eliminate FAT TALK. While you’re at it, get your friends to do it, too…and enjoy a whole new realm of conversation! Happy talking, eating, and loving yourselves!

Let us know what you think of this initiative…we love to get your comments!

‘That’s so gay’ is so not ok

2008-10-10 by Jessica dans What we like

I don’t know about you, but I hate it whenever someone uses a phrase like, “that’s so gay.” I cringe when people use words like “faggot” or “pussy” as insults. While we’re on the topic, I can’t stand the phrase, “I got gypped,” either. Did you know that gypped comes from gypsy? When I found that out in high school (thanks Steve from my Spanish class), I immediately erased the phrase from my vocabulary! I find phrases such as these out of line and irrelevant. How did these words/phrases take on their current meanings? They don’t even make sense. What do you do when you hear them used? I usually say something because I think my silence makes me an accomplice.

Well, for those of you who are uncomfortable, too, but don’t know how to handle the situation, I have a HOW TO video for you (more available at thinkb4youspeak.com):

For those of you who never thought about how hurtful words can be (sticks and stones probably broke a lot of your bones), check out this new TV ad featuring Hilary Duff. The aim of the TV ads is to eradicate the phrase, “that’s so gay.”

Why stop with just that phrase, though? How about we go back and rethink a lot of our offensive language? It’s not a matter of just being PC (cue: readers roll eyes)…seriously, though, think about how much it would hurt you to become an insult…and to become a socially-accepted insult. Props to the thinkb4youspeak.com website for reminding us of that Golden Rule we learned back in kindergarten.
