get into this boy's soul

Can you believe that Kelly at Dare to be Domestic doesn't watch Always Sunny?  Gah, Kelly.  Netflix, Netflix, Netflix.  It's the most retarded piece of retardedism out there.  And I use the word retarded in that way that I don't mean retarded like the people who have a disability just like sometimes we say gay and we don't mean homosexual so I don't want any hate mail from the people who want us to stop using those words because clearly they aren't the kind of people who watch this show and can understand what I mean.  It's just so retarded.  And kind of gay.  But right there I mean gay but gay like homosexual because there is definitely some gay stuff that happens sometimes.  It's so not pc and so far-fetched that you won't even know what you are watching while you are watching it.  You have to watch it so you can see how much you won't get it until you do and then you will and then you'll laugh and then you'll be all like "what?" and you'll try to talk about it with someone the next day and you won't be able to so you'll just say "Netflix, Netflix, Netflix".


Sometimes I hate Always Sunny in Philadelphia because they aren't always in Philadelphia even when they say they are and that gets me mad.  Just stay here.  Don't take the show on the road, as it were.  Tina Fey did that when she filmed that horrible movie Baby Mama.  I almost wrote her a letter and boycotted 30 Rock, but then I thought to myself, "who are you really punishing, Lora?  Yourself or Tina?".  It was me.  Tina doesn't care that I knew she was lying about where the movie was set, and I love 30 Rock and it is the only television show that I watch that isn't on the History Channel or A&E.  It's my only tie to popular culture.  My only "in" with the "in crowd". 

Kelly gave me this awhile back, and ever since I've been singing the songs constantly.  Thanks Kelly.

The Rule:
1. List 6 things you are a master in.

My Six Things:
  1. I'm a master at making things up so Jake won't be scared anymore.  Last night I told him that monsters are afraid of the dark.  So, when I turn the hall light off, they get scared because they can't see where they are going and they don't want to stub their toe so they go to the neighbor's house and that's why those two brats scream all night.  And when he called me out and said that can't be true because they live in dark caves because there isn't any electricity in caves and it's too damp to make a fire, I told him that just like he can find his way from his room to mine in the dark, monsters know their way around their own caves so they don't mind the darkness there.
  2. I'm a master at soups and sauces.  You just can't mess up a soup or a sauce.  The worst that can happen is that you make too much while you try to even everything out.  Big deal.  Freeze half of it for another day.
  3. I'm a master at bleeding people for information.  I can drain you dry by the end of the night.  It's why I'm good at my job.  I promise I don't use that skill in real life.  Sometimes when people find out what I do for a living they don't like to talk to me because they think I use my 9 to 5 skills in the 5 to 9.  Hardly.  I shun them like leprosy.  
  4. I'm a master taco bar creator.  I love the taco bar.  I wish I had a mile long counter and a clean up crew.  Because it would be on like Megatron.  Beans and rice and pineapples and lettuce and tomatoes and and and.  You need it all.
  5. I'm a master at saying things that no one really gets.  Things like "on like Megatron".  I love making up words that sound like real things.
  6. I'm a master grosser-outer.  Sometimes I wish I could surround myself with ten year old boys all day just so I could cleanse myself of all the pent up nastiness that is plaguing my insides.  Because no one my age wants to hear it.  I'll spare you the gorier details, but I practically got kicked out of the car this morning when I shared how I think that fresh raw steaks smell like the inside of a Bobrick.  In all fairness, no one even wants to hear what a Bobrick is.  The Bobricks in Suburban Station have ashtrays built into them.  Classy!  Retro!  Nasty!

OMG! I'm the master taco bar person, too! I make homemade guacamole and everything!

Amanda said...

I told my oldest that we don't have monsters in our house because they don't like his mean mommy (It was a particularly trying day, but it worked).

RuthWells said...

Ewwwwwwww. Bobricks! The epitome of nasty.

M.J. said...

You are most definitely the master grosser-outer!

Under the Influence said...

My husband loves "Always Sunny..." but I haven't been able to really get into it. I've tried, but I guess I haven't tried hard enough.

Kelly @ Dare to be Domestic said...

YAYYYYY! I know I need to watch this show. Can I at least get some extra credit points in saying that I LOVE 30 ROCK! Because it's the *bleeping* truth!!! LOVE. THAT. SHOW!

P.S. I'm all for authentic stuff in shows too. I hate that The Office is supposed to be Scrantan PA and they film in LA. Is there even really a Scrantan PA?

At least Forest Gump made up a town in Alabama. There is no Greenbow Alabama for those of you wondering... NONE! Sort of disappointing though I always wanted to go there to see his plantation.

Alix said...

It's confirmed. I live under a rock. Never even heard of "Always Sunny," but with your endorsement of retarded and gay - consider me all over it.

And don't fret about the fake filming locations, Lora. Sometimes they have to tighten their belts - you know how expensive the retarded gay talent can be.

As usual, I bow to your brilliance. Even though you said not one word about "Dexter."

renalfailure said...

I did not know they were called Bobricks. I will try to shoehorn that word into conversations for the rest of the week.

Jill said...

Netflixing "Sunny" as we speak!

slommler said...

I am with Alix under that rock...never heard of it!!??!! Where oh where have I been? And I don't watch 30 rock either. I know...sad! You must be the coolest...and I am totally not! I must watch these shows and catch up.
Hugs

daisyfae said...

oh, crap. ear worm.
You're a master of karate
And friendship for everyone
(ah-AH-ahhhhhhhh.....)

i LOVES me some Always Sunny!

Theresa Milstein said...

I'm a master at soup and taco bars too. I also master nachos, which is just replacing tortillas with chips and using a microwave to melt the cheese.

Everyone should watch It's Always Sunny, 30 Rock, and The Sarah Silverman Show.

I tell my child that monsters smell fear, so if they get scared, they're in for it. Actually, I tell them that nothing is scarier than mommy if she doesn't get a break. Then I give them "nightmare bear" from my night stand.

I'm sorry if this post was retarded. And gay.

Heidi said...

If something is really retarded? It's extratarded.

We can now be hated together by the people who run Special Olympics. (Who really are lovely people, I'm sure.)

Heather said...

I love saying gay and retarded. Because sometimes it is the word.

Leah Rubin said...

You are my spiritual leader, hence I hustle over to my Netflix account to investigate Sunny!

thelifeyouchoose said...

You can't actually get called to task for making things up about made up things - can you?
I told my daughter that monsters hate hugs so if she ever dreams about one she should run over and hug it and it will "poof" go away.
One of my proudest moments was when she passed those words of wisdom down to my son...

Pineapple? Really?

Silly Swedish Skier Says So said...

I super dooper love gross stuff. Today I found out at my ob appt that my uterus is heart shaped and my husband was all "like full of blood?" and I kind of loved him a little extra for it. Cuz, usually I'm the one with the disgusting comment accompanied by my evil, self-satisfied laugh.

sammy said...

30 rock is also one of the shows on my short list of shows i watch. not really a fan of tv

i use the term retarded, gay, fag, etc at will. the words are totally ambiguous.

i can make up a believable story about ANY topic at any time.

Susan said...

Sarah Palin is so going to kick your ass.

dragyonfly said...

I just woke my husband up when I burst out laffing at the link of what a Bobrick is....and how you think they smell like raw steaks.

Im adding that to my list of words...

By the way, the fish department at my supermarket smells like a really really full "bobrick".....

dragyonfly said...

So, ya'll have retards up there? well down here we have MOtards. That's way worse.
Its like inbreeding of already retarded REREs. Sort of A cross hatch of Morons and Retards.
