I'm pretty sure that the internet was invented so that one day people could post gifs of reactions to Oprah giving away stuff.

The internet was created for porn.hth

What Oprah thing? The giveaways or the reactions?

Is that Oprah thing real?

Yes, she really is that big.

Right, I'm with you. I had the internet on yesterday too. But what I'm asking is whether or not those reactions were real. They looked like a bunch of actors being asked to feign excitement.Course, I'd probably whip out my vuvuzela and start wailing on it if somebody gave me $50,000 worth of stuff. Well, not it if was stuff I don't want, like antique furniture that my mother forces upon me.

 

[General Malaise]

Hasn't she always been a big woman? She's famous for losing and gaining weight, right?

That’s right, The 6th Annual MAN DAY gala is almost here! So block off Wed. Dec. 29th on your calendars for this years debauchery and tomfoolery.I've had to miss the first 5 years but I'm actually free this year. Should be interesting.

I would have faked the big O a la When Harry Met Sally if I had been on that show getting all the free stuff.

 

[bostonfred]

I have a good friend who throws a Christmas party every year, and decorates the tree with homemade ornaments that consist of a bit of string tied around airplane bottles of whiskey and vodka and what not. People are encouraged to raid the tree throughout the night. Always enjoyed that one.

I had to ask a female acquaintence about the reactions. Apparently, the audience doesn't know that they are there for the taping of the giveaway show. And then they do literally get like 50k in free ####.

I'm a FBG. Plus I'm one of the owners so the work is always there. I'll probably take off the 30th though.

I was watching a hockey game recently where someone busted one of these out. I think it was Blackhawks fans in Vancouver. Home team was getting blown out and the cameras showed some fans hammering on the vuvuzela after another goal. Great shtick but can't imagine most home fans letting them get away with that for too long.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

and response

Alright Hotch! I love it. Your reservation is confirmed for the most spectacular day of the year. More details to follow. Feel free to help me recruit some of the non-believers. You know who I mean. Talking about Race, White,*Joe, etc. See you soon!
I would invite him here but I think he would fit in a little too perfectly not to mention worlds colliding, blah, rah, flah...

*Editors note

These are nick names.

Race or Racin=Jason, he likes fast cars and fast women

White=Bill, aka Billy White Shoes Johnson

How is it even a parody, though? That's pretty much the exact same thing as the original.

Home in the afternoon, baby in daycare, wife asleep, I just unloaded a clip, an entire season of Childrens Hospital to watch, a good book, and UConn playing tonight.

Is that a show about kids with cancer and leukemia and stuff?

I just told CS to go home since it's dead. Plus so I can crack a beer and they won't hear it.

There are kids who have cancer in this show, but they're played for laughs. Of course.http://www.adultswim.com/presents/childrenshospital/

Of course.

Of course.

Wow, cousin Earl and his kids. I haven't seen them since the last reunion. Tammy, his oldest daughter, should be having his baby any day now. They sure do love them races at Talladega.

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving. I'm frying turkeys tomorrow morning, so I'll be out of pocket for a while, especially if I burn the house down.

Yeah, I'm going to put the burner on high in the basement, come back in an hour, take the bird out of the freezer, and drop it in the oil. Shouldn't take too long to cook.

I feel dumber for recognizing the jugaloo tatoo on the shoulder of the girl on the left. I feel even dumber for having to edit this and correct right to left.

Yep, no clue why though

 

[jplvr]

Yep, no clue why though

I figured I might be toast here for some reason:

I couldn't get past "visible mental impairment."

Must have been the googly eyes.

Must have been chewing on his ear.

Speaking of Mexicans, my great aunt has always made what she calls "Mexican cornbread." I've had the recipe for a while and have tried to make it twice previously. I failed miserably both times.I decided to try again tonight and nailed it. Now that I've succeeded, I don't understand how I failed previously. I really didn't need to get it done for tomorrow, but it should be awesome for tailgating on Friday along with a fried turkey, both of which I'll cook tomorrow.Oh, I managed to waddle-jog my fatass around my neighborhood for 30 minutes without a break this week. Not quite 3 miles, but baby steps here. As long as I don't get too stupid, I should be jogging 3 miles per day, 3-5 days a week soon.

I'll take that cornbread ressipee if you got it. I did a jalapeno cornbread stuffing the last two years (Redmond Longhorn > Hi). I got it right the first year, but I screwed something up last year and it was atrocious. Nice job on the jog. I did 35 minutes on the eliptical and finally sweated out all the booze, nicotine and herbs induced over a 5 day stretch. I haven't touched a drop since Sunday (which really means early monday) and still could smell the toxins leaving my pores and hitting the gym floor. Hoping to match your 3-5 days a week pace. Maybe we'll be able to beat the elderly or the team with a midget on Amazing Race when teams sprint to the finish.Was convinced I was done with booze for good Monday morning when I reported to work at 10:30am and immediately went fetal on the office couch. But tomorrow is Thanksgiving and, well....I just can't lay off the booze with my family.

Lows in the 20's tonight. High today back in JAX is expected to be 79.Just thanful that my BIL has a garage fridge filled with craft beer.
