Just For Giggles: Top Ten Southern Pick-Up Lines

Here in the South, we are a genteel lot. Nary a curse word or dirty look. We act like ladies, even when we're trying to pick someone up.

After much research [thanks to Neal] I have been given the Top Ten Pick Up Lines that Southern Gentlemen use when picking up Southern Gentlemen....okay, and they work on Ladies, too, but why a man would try picking up a woman is beyond me.

Let's roll.....

1] Did you fart? ...Cuz you just blew me away.
2] Are yer parents retarded? .....Cuz ya sure are special.
3] My love fer you is like diarrhea. I just can't hold it in.
4] Do you have a library [pronounced li-berry] card? ...Cuz I'd like to sign you out
5] Is there a mirror in yer pants? ...Cuz I can see myself in em.
6] You might not be the best lookin' guy [or girl] here, but beauty's only a light switch away.
7] I know I'm not no Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make yer bed-rock.
8] Yer eyes are as blue as window cleaner.
9] If yer gunna regret this in the mornin, we kin sleep til afternoon.

AND.. the best for last:
10] Yer face reminds me of a wrench. Every time I think of it, my nuts tighten up

The McDon't Decay

I am not a fan of The Fast Food. Sorry, DD, no Arby's for me.

I've always thought I could make myself a meal that is better tasting, more to my liking, and probably less expensive, than dashing out to the local drive-thru. And now, I have even more reasons to cook at home.

The kind folks at Good Blog bought a McDonald's Hamburger and a side of fries on Saturday, April 10, 2010. But they didn't eat it.

Instead, they photographed it every day for 137 days and, well, this is the sick part.....IT NEVER CHANGED.

Never got moldy. Never turned green.

On Day 137 it looked pretty much like it did on Day 1.

Yeah, all the more reason to stay out of the drive-thru.

You can see the whole :::ack::: progression HERE.

A Political Fable With A Truly Transparent Moral

from the diSCust:

Once upon a time in the Southern Kingdom of Carolina there was a princess named Nikki who wore nearly no clothes, for she believed the common people of the land wanted to see her for what she was.

Princess Nikki was fair of heart and well-liked by the king, and the commoners were enamored with the princess for, though they had never seen her, they all had heard the tales of the princess who wore nearly no clothes.

“A princess who wears nearly no clothes clearly has nothing to hide,” they would say, “we can trust a princess who wants us to see her for what she is.”

The legend of the princess grew and grew, spreading beyond the kingdom into other lands far and wide until everyone knew of the fair princess who wore nearly no clothes.

As it happened, the king’s reign was ending, and by tradition the common people were to choose among the princes, princesses, and commoners who should become the new ruler of the land.

The commoners of the Southern Kingdom of Carolina felt fortunate that the famous princess was in their kingdom. “We are the envy of all the neighboring lands who wish they had such a princess to lead them, for she wants us to see her for what she is.”

At long last the day of the great festival arrived where the commoners would gather and select their new ruler. All the subjects of the Southern Kingdom of Carolina crowded into the courtyard of the castle, anxious to finally meet Princess Nikki who wore nearly no clothes because she wanted the people to see her for what she was.

There was another aspiring leader at the festival, Prince Vincent, but there was little doubt that Princess Nikki would claim the throne.

It was a glorious day and spirits were high as the introductions began.

Prince Vincent was the first to appear on the stage. The people had heard tales of how popular he was among other princes and princesses but they wanted someone who had nothing to hide. “Why is he wearing clothes?” they asked each other. “He clearly does not want us to know him as he really is. He’s only wearing some clothes, but Princess Nikki wears nearly no clothes and that is the type of person we can trust, as she trusts us to see her as she really is.”

The gathered masses applauded Prince Vincent politely for they held no animosity towards him and though they thought he would likely be an able leader, he was certainly no Princess Nikki.

At long last a flourish of horns announced Princess Nikki, but as she took the stage the gathered masses gasped in unison.

“You cannot be Princess Nikki,” they cried, “Princess Nikki wears nearly no clothes and you are fully clothed.”

“I am Princess Nikki,” she replied, “and I indeed am wearing nearly no clothes because I have nothing to hide and I want you to see me for who I am.”

The good commoners of the Southern Kingdom of Carolina were confused. Though they wanted to believe Princess Nikki, she was not as they expected her to be.

“Princess,” a commoner in the crowed shouted “why you are wearing clothes over your torso?”

“The covering over my torso is not clothing,” Princess Nikki responded, “it is part of my royal privilege, afforded to princesses and princes alike though some choose not to display it. But I assure you I am wearing nearly no clothes because I have nothing to hide.”

“But you are wearing clothes over your arms,” another commoner insisted.

“The covering over my arms is not clothing, it is a gift from the king who has told me it is not clothing. As you know, I am wearing nearly no clothes because I want you to know me as I am.”

“But you are wearing clothes over your legs,” a third voice interjected.

“The covering over my legs is not clothing as you can surely see, it is merely a covering.”
“I have told you repeatedly that I wear nearly no clothing,” said Princess Nikki, “yet you continue to question me as to what I am wearing. All of you know who I am and you know I have nothing to hide, so why would you question the fact that I am wearing nearly no clothing?”

“I ask you, dear commoners of the Southern Kingdom of Carolina,” continued Princess Nikki, “do you believe what you know or are you fooled by what you see?”

Many of the people were content to continue believing what they knew to be true, that Princess Nikki wore nearly no clothing because she had nothing to hide.

And the rest of the people finally saw her for what she really was.

Emmy Fashion

The Great

Claire Danes...simple and glittery like the Emmy she won last night.

The Best

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss rockin' the hard body. This, people, is the mother on an eighteen-year-old.

Mariska Hargitay. It's a little bit pixie and a little bit va-va-va-voom.

Julie Bowen rockin' the hard body. This, people, is the mother of an eighteen-day-old

The Good

Jane Lynch. It's nice to see a Lesbian out of flannels and Doc Martens. Jane looks hot.

Lea Michelle. Pretty, but a wee bit ruffle-y.

Sophia Vergara. I like the dress but the brown skidmark down the front is a little odd.

The Meh:

Heidi looks like she left the Runway with half-a-dress. Somewhere in NYC Nina Garcia is rolling her eyes and saying, Ghastly.

Tina Fey's dress was inspired by crop circles and hieroglyphics. It says, God this is one awful dress.
Glenn Close is so sleek and chic, and then she stripped the bed and wore the sheets to the Emmys.

The Bad

Lauren Graham. This looks like it's on backwards. And maybe upside-down.

Keri Russell. We get it, you're cute. But this looks like one of Dakota Fanning's leftover dresses, circa 1998.

Dianna Agron. I'm guessing funeral home doily? And I'm guessing you should fire your stylist.

The Worst

Jewel. Grandma's curtain never looked better.

Mindy Kaling. i don't know who you are, but this hoochie-mama funeral dress with the Winehouse hair will be hard to scrape off my corneas.

Kristen Wiig looks like she borrowed one of SNL's costume numbers. I know shoulder pads are making a comeback, but not on a strappy dress.

The God Awful:

January Jones in what looks like a left-over form the Project Runway Party Store Challenge. I seriously think those are blue plastic cups on her, ahem, breastiges, and the skirt looks like a pool liner.

I get that it's a "designer" gown but even designers can make something that looks like this trainwreck.

Plus, Jan, may I call you Jan? Perhaps running a comb through your hair before you got out of the limo would have been a nice touch.
