Good dog!

spellcheck!

One of my favorite family stories is the one where my mother had a fight with the lady who was registering new kindergartners about my name. The lady insisted my mother was misspelling her own child's name.

No, really. It's Breda.

thirsty?

Funniest thing I've seen all day.

for your listening pleasure!

Have you heard about The Vicious Circle?

Every week, Alan of snarkybytes manages to gather together a number of well-known bloggers for entertaining and sometimes even educational discussions on a variety of geeky and gunny topics. They even had the always contentious 1911 vs. Glock debate without a fight breaking out - no mean feat, that. The blogroll shows who has been on the show so far, but you never know who might make an appearance. (Gun Nuts doesn't have a monopoly on The Breda, you know.)

Links to the prerecorded podcasts are at the site and are also available on iTunes. Be sure to check back every week for some thing new!

p.s.
The quick wit and brilliant minds of those who hang out regularly in the Gunblogger Conspiracy have always reminded me of the Algonquin Round Table, so I was the one who suggested the name for the podcast. I think Mrs. Parker would approve.

Meat Week!

Oh, yeah...



Meet Steven Crowder, my new most favorite snarky Republican guy.
Cute and funny and oh, so smart. I want to feed him bacon.

why I like pie

("Happy birthday, honey! ...sorry your cake looks like a homicidal maniac.")

A slight slip of the hand, the eyebrows go on crooked, and all of a sudden you'd got the most pissed off birthday cake ever. No amount of ice cream could hide that evil glare...all Raggedy Ann needed was something stabby in that pink hand and I'd probably still be having nightmares.

But I'm sure the cake was delicious - my mom's a terrific baker. And look! Party hats and noisemakers! My childhood was perfectly lovely, aside from a few buttercream mishaps.*

(And, yes, my mother will probably yell at me for posting this. I hope you all appreciate it.)

*the purpose of this post was to make you all go read Cake Wrecks, the funniest food blog on the web.

Unshelved, the Dilbert for librarians.

Is this real life?

Oh, I know it's probably wrong to laugh but seeing how I had more than my fair share of surgery as a child, I think I'm entitled.

So sorry...

...but I can't look that up for you.

It would be bad for the environment.

local laugh

I've never been in the G-Whiz Bar & Grill (mostly because places like that have sticky floors and think Bud Lite Lime is a microbrew.) but I have to admit I find January 17th's live entertainment a bit...intriguing.

(embiggen)

Heh. (or, Naughty Librarian, part II)

I recently got a late night email from my dear friend, the fabulous Phlegmfatale. The subject line was:"take this in the spirit it's intended: as a massive compliment" so naturally I was intrigued. I'm not really one that gets offended easily and I know that anything coming from Phlegmmy would be delightful and funny, so I opened the email already smiling.

There was a single line of text:

"Miss Moneypenny on Keen Eddie is a total Breda."

To which I said, "Who?"

A quick google search revealed this:



And then I laughed so hard I think I might have hurt myself. I just requested the DVDs from the library because obviously I could learn a thing or two. She might really be a saucy secretary but Miss Moneypenny has some serious "naughty librarian" skills.

friday funny

I haven't posted a Friday funny for a while and since I don't have much else to write about*, I thought I'd share the most recent thing that I found funny.

You all know the site LOLcats, right? Well, the other day I saw this and it reminded of the animated film Hoodwinked, this youtube clip in particular. (cute movie, if you haven't seen it already- plus it has the delicious voice of Patrick Warburton as the Big Bad Wolf)

And there you have it - a peek into my brain and the ridiculous, random things things that make me giggle. I'm sure its all very fascinating - almost as good as black velvet unicorn paintings and polyhedral dice. (what? you don't understand the reference? don't tell me you didn't listen to the Christmas Gun Nuts show...)



*lounging around the house playing on my new computer, watching DVDs and eating Thai takeout doesn't offer much blogfodder, I'm afraid.

snow chicka wow wow

Remember when I posted this, oh, about 9 months ago?

Well, it seems the Cleveland area is in the midst of a little baby boom.

Heh.

I LOLed (again)

When I saw this I could manage to say nothing more than "Oh. My. Gawd." between fits of hysterical giggling.

somedays, trying to write is like this....

Oh, O...

I've never been shy about my dislike for Oprah Winfrey and her groupies. They fill their emptiness with poorly written new age dreck, make golden calves out of celebrities, and pretend to be stronger women by emasculating the men in their lives. Also, the shameless squealing and swooning over the freebie of the day? Pathetic. Makes me want to slap the lot of them.

A certain recent vice presidential candidate is definitely not one of these women. She is, we could say, a chick of a much higher caliber - which would go a long way in explaining this...



SNUBBED!

Why we love Sarah Palin, Reason #34857662840.

heh

Monday, Monday. No time to blog. More later, but take a look around. I have lots of stuff in the archives and promise I won't hit you.

what the...???

We don't wear sunglasses at the reference desk!

for the guys

I've noticed a fashion trend among male gunnies. It's not the Levi's, the tacticool boots or the loose untucked shirts...it's facial hair. (and I'm a fan.)

There's a wide variety of styles - goatees, moustaches, mutton chops, full beards - all patiently tended and trimmed. So in honor of all your hard work and dedication, I give you...
10 Awesome Things With Mustaches.

Enjoy!
