Bobservations

The other night CBS aired a Grammy salute to Cyndi Lauiper with all kinds of special guests singing with Lauper at the Hollywood Bowl. but my favorite part of the show was Cyndi telling the stories of how she wrote her songs and I was telling Carlos about that when he suddenly said:

“At least she’s not related to Lindsay Lohan.”

“Why would she be related ... Oh no, you thought she was Cyndi Lohan and not Cyndi Lauper.”

See what I deal with? I guess I should count myself lucky that he didn’t think Cyndi was Ma-dough-na or Jell-O. 

This Tuxedo Says comes from April 29, 2021, …

“Tuxedo wants to play off of Carlson’s idea of berating people who wear masks by asking the entire country to berate anyone who works for, listens to, or believes Fox News.”

I still think it’s a good plan!

While millions of fans celebrated, Kid Rock decided to rant about Bad Bunny getting the Super Bowl Halftime Show with this brilliant bon mot:

“So now the Super Bowl’s letting TikTok dancers headline? What’s next, a mariachi band doing Drake covers? Bring back real performers, not reggaeton karaoke.”

Bad Bunny fired back with pure Latin heat:

“You mad ‘cause the only halftime show you’re getting is at the county fair. Don’t talk about ‘real performers’ when your biggest hit was before Wi-Fi existed. If culture moved past you, maybe try catching up instead of crying about it.”

Aaaaaaand snap! 

Every so often a stupid joke finds its way to me and I just have to share it with y’all, so here goes:

Do you know what 50 Cent did when he got hungry?

58.

Please don’t unfollow me … 

I’m thinking  this must be what happens when the cakes are too big for the pan.

These are just a few of the things going around the interwebs that I thought I might clear up …

Undocumented immigrants do not receive free healthcare; it’s against the law.

Tylenol does not cause autism.

Bad Bunny is an American citizen; the Slovenian Hooker is not.

And it’s the Gulf of Mexico.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk … now carry on …. 

David Pruhs, the Republican mayor of Fairbanks Alaska has conceded the race to Democrat Mindy O'Neall after this week’s election.

Republicans have controlled Fairbanks for nearly a decade  but Democrats have scored yet another unlikely victory in deep-red territory.

In around 40 special elections since Cankles barely won his second term, Democrats have overperformed by an average of about 15% and flipped a slew of seats.

This is the Resistance, this is hope.

Y’all know I can scarcely tolerate JLo—or as Carlos calls her, Jell-O—but this is too stupid even for this Thirst Quen. I mean, what in the name of Kindergarten Construction Paper Art Project Nonsense is this dress?

I mean, yeah, she’s starring in Kiss of the Spider Woman but this is the dress she chose for the premiere? It looks more like Kiss of the Broken Belt Buckle Woman.

Someone lay hands on her.

Emilio Alcaraz is a six-foot, one-inch tall, brown haired brown eyed Spanish model and that’s all I need to know because I adore the Latin mens, but … Would You Hit It?

  1. I'm not overly familiar with Bad Bunny his music....but I adore him for his clap back...because everything he said is true.

    And Carlos never disappoints. Just wait till he is in his 80s!!!! You think you drink heavy now?!?!?!? LOL oh the fun post well read then!!!

    And I certainly wouldn't mind stumbling on a naked , six-foot, one-inch tall, brown haired brown eyed Spanish model named Emilio Alcaraz on a beach walk.. although it might be a week till I stand up straight.

    1. I'm with you about Bad Bunny; he just irks the right endlessly!
      Carlos' knowledge of pop culture could fit on the head of a pin ... after the entire Encyclopedia Britannica was etched into the pinhead!
      Emilio is something, isn't he?

    Oh, Carlos!! Cyndi would have a heart attack if she hears that.
    And Noem is indeed documenting everything she's done. You know they think they'll never be held accountable for the crimes they've committed, right?
    And Bad Bunny said that? DAMN. Ohh boy. Millennials are MERCILESSS. And you know what? I usually watch the Super Bowl for the Halftime show. Not different this year...

    XOXO

      Kristi's ego will be her undoing. and I hope she's sent to one of her Kristi Koncentration Kamps.
      Bad Bunny ain't playing with these fools.

  4. Sorry, I got hung up on that dress.... .... I've seen the trailer for the movie and it's a very easy pass, unlike Emilio who's definitely in the running for whatever he wants.

    1. Poor JLo thinks she has the talent when all she has is the ego and a bad sense of fashion.

  5. Some call it Woke, I call it continuing to learn beyond high school. Bad Bunny has it right, most of the angry people haven't embraced a new idea in 40 years.

  6. Carlos and San Geraldo. Yep!

    Oh, snap, Bad Bunny. Perfection!

    Thanks for the concise (and obvious) TED Talk.

    I could not figure out Jello’s dress!

      Oh, the dress ... that spider body part literally looks like someone cut it out of cardboard, spray-painted it black, and slapped it on her dress.

  7. J - Low, WTF is that, indeed? Never been much of a fan, and I ***hate*** it when Hollywood decides to screw up a perfectly good Tony-winning musical.

    1. It could have been good with a real singer as the lead but with Jell-O it's just a vanity project and a fashion show.

  8. I don't have an issue with Jell-O but I have to agree with you on that super confusing dress. Looks like she forgot to take it off the hanger.

  9. Lie Jello on her side and you will quickly see that those are a pair of giant broken glasses the "designer" just happened to have left behind after the 2024 pantomime saeson.

    ☺️ Sometimes I get so jealous of Carlos...he doesn't let the BS of pop culture penetrate his lovely little life. Lauper/Lohan 🤷‍♂️ either way, Carlos is a treasure! 🥰
    🕷 Which brings me to Jell-O, her version of "Kiss," and that godawful "dress!" I am a theatre kid, which means I love storytelling. I love musicals, but the current trend of turning every emotional film or play into a musical extravaganza just irks. It brings more money and more butts into the seats, but often harms the original story...I saw "Kiss of.." in 1985 and I don't need Jell-O to explain what Hollywood thinks I missed in the original telling...I got it! 🤨
    Her dress strikes me the same way. It's a nice dress and it shows off the body she works hard on and that she likes to "go commando" under sheer material. The addition of the "spider" is to make sure I get the point by framing the boobs up top and the pubes below! Yah, gurl, everybody sees the boobs escaping and we see the dark spot where your womanhood shows through. The dress did its job. No need to add a prop to get those "spidey senses" all a-tingle!! 🥱
    🤣 I can't wait for Trey Parker to show up in a parody of this dress like he did with that silly green dress Jell-O wore to the 2000 Grammys!! 😲
    😻 On the other hand, Tuxedo Rocks!! 🤘😺

    1. Carlos idea of pop culture began with Ma-dough-na and then ended with her, too.
      Yes, JLo is far too thirsty, with far less talent, than the actual real singers and dancers who could have made Kiss into a great film.
      Tuxedo .... sigh.

  13. Oh my, this is a fantastic post. Carlos, Tuxedo, and your Ted Talk are fantastic. I also loved your joke because it is something I know my grandson will love (does that suggest we both have juvenile humour).
    As for Jell-O (I'm co-opting this term because I think it fits), that dress is horrible...I initially thought she was wearing some form of handcuffs.
    And Bad Bunny vs. Kid Rock - what a great comeback!

  14. Carlos’ mix-up with Cyndi Lauper’s name was priceless, and your joke about 50 Cent made my morning. It's great to see hope and a little celebration about the election results.

  15. If we put Carlos and Willy Dunne Wooters in a room together and recorded them, the resulting conversation would be . . . I can't even imagine what would happen.

  17. When baking cupcakes, it is always desirable for the cakes to rise in the pan higher than the paper liner. The example shows this perfectly.

    2. Maybe not on the level of Paul Hollywood, but I know enough to test the cakes when they are suitably browned and deform slightly and rise back when lightly touched, or when the cake tester comes back clean after it is inserted.
