Saw this over at Asylum and quivered – and not in a good way – “Winston Rowntree is the author of Subnormality, the popular webcomic which he describes as containing “weird characters, endless opinions and occasionally huge walls of text.” In this installment of his weekly Cracked comic Abnormality, Mr. Rowntree gives you eight reasons not to get married, four for each sex…”

Check this out, according to the Associated Press, the Queen is being sued by uber-famous make-up artist Roxanna Floyd and celeb stylist Susan Moses for a combined total of $1 Mil. Roxanna basically helped create the Queen Collection line for Cover Girl with Dana “Latifah” Owens and Susan is responsible for pulling her look together. Both a big players so either this is a big misunderstanding (we think) or there is some shady biz going on in La La land.

So it happened again.  In last week’s blog I was lamenting on how I don’t watch basketball anymore, so I felt like the best thing to do was to go watch some games. I made my way to a  sports bar that will remain nameless and had a seat.  Since it’s Lent, I’m not drinking beer,  so my wings and ginger ale and I settled in to “enjoy” the games.  It wasn’t happening.  I was lost within minutes and before I knew it, some random male fan was sitting next to me.
.
Now normally I wouldn’t have noticed this, but lack of interest in the game is not always your friend, and I’m sure many of you ladies know what’s coming next. After random small talk, this lovely person *insert epithet of your choice here* decides to ask me who I’m rooting for.  I told him I wasn’t rooting for anyone and I was pretty sure my my body language that would be the end of the conversation. No. Such. Luck.

“So why are you watching if you’re not rooting for anyone?” (more…)

Here’s Bun B of UGK, talking about…whatever. What’s important is the LAST UGK ALBUM EVER, 4 Life, hits shelves today. Show some respect.

Men are nothing if not creative. Some of the time-buying excuses they come up with are almost poetic: “What we have can’t be defined by a label,” “We should just live in the moment,” “Let’s let things happen organically.” These dodge tactics can be hard to navigate, but as they say, “don’t drink the Kool-Aid.” Label evasion is just code for “You’re not the one.”
.
When it comes to classifying your relationship, it’s about much more than a label; it’s about you and your guy being on the same page. If casual dating is what you want, then a label doesn’t matter. But, if you’re looking to settle down, label-phobic men are not an option. When you find yourself stumbling through the commitment/label dance, please know that there is a big difference between a guy who wants to take things slowly and a guy who wants to have his cake and eat it too.
.
Any man who wants to be with you is going to want other men to know that you’re spoken for. It doesn’t matter what the label is—girlfriend, wifey, boo—but even men know that a label is the most effective way of informing other interested people that you’re off the market. If an exclusive commitment is what you want, but you’ve been convinced (read: brainwashed) into thinking that a label doesn’t matter, you’ll never get one. (more…)

Soooo, it seems that prisoners in Brazil have resorted to a new way of communicating with the outside world—birds. Guards have intercepted two carrier pigeons couriering mobile phones in a prison outside of Sao Paolo recently as prisoners have added this to their arsenal of methods to get mobiles and other contraband items into their cells. So wait, how exactly do you train a homing pigeon in prison? This only adds to the growing problem that Brazil has with it’s penal system, as their prisons have developed reputations for being filthy, overcrowded and poorly manged. Remember in 2007 when it was discovered that a young girl was locked up in a cell full of men and repeatedly raped in exchange for food? Yeah. All seriousness aside, when inmates are going for the birds, it’s time for a remix.
