Palin/Clinton SNL Skit

I wasn't the first to make the comparison, and I'm sure I won't be the last, but the resemblance of Sarah Palin to Tina Fey is uncanny. And I guess Tina Fey can do a great impression of Palin too. If you missed SNL last weekend, here's the opener which ended up being the only part really worth watching.

Random Thought

Why do all the Brady girls take on the Brady name? If Marcia, Jan, and Cindy were all born of a previous marriage, wouldn't they keep their mother's name? And just what is Carol Brady's maiden name?

These are the types of things I sometimes think about when I wake up at 5 in the morning and I can't sleep.

My First Celebrity Crush

I've actually been wanting to blog all day but have been suffering a little from "blog constipation" (every time i sit down to write, nothing comes out).

I'm now watching the 2008 Women's Gymnastics Olympic Trials and I'm reminded of what was probably my first celebrity crush. As I write, I'm actually starting to recall very well watching the 1996 Olympic Games (I admittedly had to look up the year) from my Grandparents living room in Rogers, Arkansas. I watched very intently to both of the Dominique's (Dawes and Moceanu) but particularly paid special interest to Dominique Moceanu, whom I found incredibly hot, or whatever a 13-year old boy called a cute girl in 1996. This was also the year Kerri Strugg stuck her famous landing, or more remembered by me, Chris Kattan parodying it on SNL.

Back to the actual show, I'm curious as to how old some of these girls are. They look 13. I know a girl who was a pick for the '96 Olympic Team for Rhythmic Gymnastics. She wasn't a part of the "Magnificent Seven" but she was still pretty stinkin' great! She declined her spot on the team and was 16 when she retired from gymnastics (she would have been 17 or 18 by the Games.) I remember hearing stories of her eating disorders and the birth control they put her on to prolong the onset of puberty. I just can't imagine that life. Not to mention that these pre-pubescent 16 year olds can probably bench press me. And if not, they could use me as a springboard to do a triple flip twist mounted ollie off the hook... or something. Still, it is pretty impressive the amount of agility and talent these girls... and all the athletes that I have yet to see, possess. Besides the horror stories of the eating disorders, I've also heard amazing stories of extreme training schedules, diets, and levels of commitment and determination I could only dream of.

I think I just got myself excited for this year's Summer Games.

Go America!

In addition to...

I ALMOST FORGOT!!!!!

My sister and I are applying for the Amazing Race. So, I'll let you know how that goes. I'm fully expecting to at least get a call for an interview. They'd be insane not to take us. We're pretty much adorable. As always...

Thanks fer bein my friend,

COPS America vs COPS London

I was watching COPS and they had a special edition where they were in London. I thought it might be cool, cause, you know its London. Plus, in the opener, they're showing car chases, riots with people beating riot cops with a bat, and all sorts of cool stuff like that. The following is a list of why COPS London is better than COPS America:

White Trash - They have it in London too; people getting arrested without their shirts, guys beating up their mothers over a pack of cigarettes. Only the difference is this. They have cool accents.

Riots - There was a riot going on and the cops aren't armed like they are in America. This puts the odds to the side carrying bricks and molotov cocktails, which makes for a WAY better fight.

Flaming people - When said molotov cocktails are thrown at police, police begin running and screaming while on fire.

Cool accents - cool accents

Price is Right vs Drunk

**Edit** This was my first edition of 'A' vs 'B' and this little post actually earned me a feature on http://www.collegehumor.com/. So here it is, the first installment of...

Things people do if they are on the Price is Right or if they are drunk.

• They scream randomly and obnoxiously if you mention their name or where they are from.


• They make really stupid decisions that, as an observer you know are stupid, but in the same situation you know you'd do the same things.


• They hug and profess their love to anyone who is giving them something free.


• It's not as fun without the games.


• They kiss people they wouldn't normally kiss.


• They're not allowed to drive the cars.


• They don't have a great concept of how expensive things are.


• They oggle attractive women.


• Their friends cheer them on.


• They get excited over really, really trivial things. Like dinette sets.


• Bob Barker is there egging you on.
