Irrational Rant....Who's Your Daddy?

Tori Spelling has been on my mind ever since I heard about her giving birth to her third pony, oops, I mean child. This is an irrational rant, but most people probably despise this broad as much as I do. Try as I might, I cannot find ANYTHING redeeming about her. From her horse-like features, to her emaciated body (allegedly because you're 'stressed'), to her home-wrecking tendencies that resulted in her current marriage to the BIGGEST TOOL in the chest, to her HORRIFIC INABILITY to act & everything in between, I just need to vent. I also wanted to let her know that on the next "World Population Day", she's going to be on my chopping blog...oops, I mean block! (Get it? Yup, I'm awesome)....

She should thank the Lord God each night that she is Aaron Spelling's daughter, or else she'd most likely be working at Forever 21 right now, trying to save money for her next cosmetic procedure.She was horrible as Violet Ann Bickerstaff, atrocious as Donna Martin, and even more offensive in her biggest role as a human being (or barnyard animal--the DNA test results haven't been revealed yet). I don't know about you, but even though I get sucked into trashy reality TV, I can proudly say that I've NEVER seen her show and NEVER will (except when it's been mocked ruthlessly on "The Soup").

I hope Big Ran already ate breakfast! At least the bump takes away from the bump growing out of her neck.

When breast augmentation goes horribly wrong...again, on the positive side, at least this takes away from her face!

"Donna Martin Graduates!" I guess that's what happens when you're daddy is the creator of the show.... Good thing is that after serving his time lip-locking on screen with Mrs. Ed, Brian Austin Green ended up with Megan Fox....

As Violet Anne Bickerstaff, Screech's love interest in "Saved by the Bell"...no coincidence her father was a producer/writer for this show as well, right? Sadly, this was probably when she was at her best! P.S.- Hey Brian Austin Green, I guess this means you've made out with Dustin Diamond as well--contact the CDC!!

There are so many other things I could say, but the pictures speak 1000 words, and I think they really drive the point home, so that is all...

They Like Us, They REALLY Like Us, Part 2

I'm going to be honest, I read Christine's e-mail like four times, then read KC's post another couple of times before I realized that Christine actually designed an phone app.  So, first, that kind of blew my mind.  Let's put it this way, I use twitter just to creep on people and don't check the ol' facebook that often, so the fact that Christine designed her own app makes her approximately 870% more likely to make a respectable living than I am.

With that said, whatever helps people out is good in my book and that will be something slightly different for everyone.

For me, I can get pretty competitive and love doing things out of spite.  For example, if someone tells me they don't think I can do something, then forget it, I will make it happen.  Not so much to improve myself or do something positive, but so that I will force you to be wrong and look like a schmuck.  I've got problems.  Last year, our company had an employee fitness challenge.  Four of us from our office joined because we planned on crushing people.  I didn't really care that I would be working out more and in better shape, I wanted to win, and I wanted to make other teams feel bad about themselves in the process.  I have the mind set of a professional athlete with none of the ability, so at least I have that going for me.

So, Christine, I would say what you are doing sounds great because it will certainly work for a certain sect of people.  Ultimately, if it helps people achieve goals, it is a success.

PS:  If you get rich off this app, can I holler at you?  Can I holla, can I holla, can I holla?

P.P.S. With Big Ran's comment, "For me, I can get pretty competitive and love doing things out of spite.", I know that there is NOTHING else I can offer. See why we've been friends for so long? It's simply out of spite since I told him we wouldn't be!

Tuesday Trivia...

Straw Poll.......

I've heard this phrase so many times in regards to politics, but I have no idea what it means or where it comes from. I always mean to research it, but then something more interesting (like watching paint dry), comes up.

However, I feel that I owe it to myself, and more importantly, to Big Ran & our "Takeover" readers to shed some light on this mystery. I also owe it to our blog readers to get back to some of our regularly scheduled posts, such as "Tuesday Trivia"....so, here we go!

See below for Wikipedia's definition and explanation (because we all know Wikipee is ALWAYS the most reliable source!)


A straw poll or straw vote is a vote with nonbinding results. Straw polls provide dialogue among movements within large groups, reflecting trends like organization and motivation.^[1][2] In meetings subject to rules of order, impromptu straw polls often are taken to see if there is enough support for an idea to devote more meeting time to it, and (when not a secret ballot) for the attendees to see who is on which side of a question. 

However, Robert's Rules of Order prohibits straw polls, calling them "meaningless and dilatory" because they subvert the deliberative charge of deliberative bodies.^[3] Among political bodies, straw polls often are scheduled for events at which many people interested in the polling question can be expected to vote. Sometimes polls conducted without ordinary voting controls in place (i.e., on an honor system, such as in online polls) are also called "straw polls".

The idiom may allude to a straw (thin plant stalk) held up to see in what direction the wind blows, in this case, the wind of group opinion.^[4][5][6] Other possible origins include allusion to the insignificance of straw as in "straw man".^[7]



So basically, it is nothing more than a creatively named survey....which is huge waste of time in reality. Clearly these are useless as an August 'straw poll' for the 2012 Republican Primary showed Michele Bachman winning.  Hmmmm...now, I'm not a fan of Obama, but I can say that if that looney tune winning were a real possibility , I'd be out campaigning for him right now!

Ok, so now that that great mystery has been solved, I'm going to get back to some slightly more interesting things....like staring around my gray cube walls.
