Good morning!
If you've been following my tweets, @katieschwartz, you know that my pal VeronicaWords, is working like a dawg to, well, save dawgs.
From VW: "Here’s the scoop from @VeronicaWords: vote 4 us! http://is.gd/3EQR Fill in Pike County Humane Society Milford PA & Search. then select us. Animal verification, that’s it!".
It's a great shelter and you can vote every day, so please do. They're in desperate need of the fundage. Off you go to vote for canine hope.
My dad joined Twitter, @jsbrooklyn. I'm plotzing. @TanyaEspanya, doll that she is, friended my pops. As far as dark humor is concerned, you'll quickly learn the apple does not in fact fall far from the tree, not at all. Friend him, ga'head. I think he knows how to follow back, if not my brother, @nicktony will show him, I'm sure.
I'm obsessing about the song, Caribbean Queen, for reasons I can't explain, and the mispronunciation of the word, "Caribbean". It is not pronounced "Caara-beee-aun", which is, in my opinion, enunciation murder. Worsening the issue, lest we forget it was a huge hit. How? Why? What happened? Where was I during this songbacle?
Have you seen infomercials for the Bullet Express? In the middle of the night, when I can't sleep, I am a food product infomercial whore. Anyway, the infomercial has the creepiest crew, force feeding insert-grandma-here, a food bulletized beverage. What's worse, is her insert-son-here, staring at her wantonly while she's drinking. Watch!
Another one is the Cricut Expression, a scrapbookey spin-off tchoch that's fun for the whole family. Admittedly, this one bugs the shit out of me.
What happened to Ron Poppeil, you know, the infomercial daddy who coined the phrase "But, wait, there's more"?
Here's one I love -- Really, it's the dame I love, never the products, always the sales peeps and their handy-dandy-ever-so-shocked-side-kicks, the Turbo Cooker.

Thanks for helping me the spread the Word, Katie. xoxo
I'm going to friend your dad right now.
I thought the blonde demo woman said "celery helps reduce inflammation in our privates"!!!
Weird stuff, doll, thanks for posting it!
Oh, Katie-le! Call me campy, but I do love that song. Us royals must stick together, after all.
BTW - ever think of blasting it toward your crazy neighbor? Maybe she hates it as much as you do.
You are seriously spooking me out, I was just humming "Caribbean Queen" last night, but I always have lame Billy Ocean songs in my head and I blame The Devil. BTW, I got to listen to this song hit the big time twice, with the ubiquitous title and in Italy, where they changed the title to "European Queen" because they believed that no one in Europe knew where the Caribbean is.
Hmmm, Bob Marley posters and albums in every city. Germans, Dutch, Swedes, French, and Spainards on holiday in the islands all year long. Naw, they have no idea where that is.
I have an entire spare room stacked with boxes of handy cooking devices that take up too much room, are hard to clean and otherwise suck.
But let me know if you need any dried fruits or veggies--I have a dehydrator the size of a fucking Buick.
I have an jaundiced attitude toward food infomercial products. Some of them really do work, but of the few I have purchased, most of them are dogs. I like to wait till they've worked their way up the retail chain a bit & the bugs have been worked out. (In other words, I wait till they hit Macy's.) And yeah -- those infomercials really scare me ...
I'm like Karen. I have a whole bunch of stuff I bought from Pampered Chef parties when they were big a few years back. I even bought the thing that cores, peels and slices apples (no, not the one from the Honeymooners, LOL!). I don't even MAKE apple pies. I was all ready to order the Bullet processor after that demonstration! I had to control myself. Funny stuff!
Of course, Vwords :)
Utah, you're an angel, thanks. Did he friend you back yet?
Helen, that is sooo funny. I must re-watch.
Queenie, I am glad you love the song. You're royalty, so you can do as you wish. We, your subjects, cannot judge and won't, of course.
PS: Good fuckin' idea!
Cormac, how FUNNY. I didn't know you had BO songs trapped in your head.
PS: love the Euroqueen yarn. Who knew?!
Kzip, this line "let me know if you need any dried fruits or veggies--I have a dehydrator the size of a fucking Buick" made me laugh my mothah fuckin ass off. I even slapped my desk.
Mauigirl, I know from Pampered Chef soiree's. I was invited to one. They're products were so f'n expensive. I couldn't afford shit at the time.
Did you keep the core/peel/slicer, or toss it?
FreakyJ, I agree, they are infotarded, which is why they're perfect for late night insomniacs like myself.
Last night, I caught a Ron Popeil infotardicial. I thought he peeled. He has not. Though, he has had quite a bit of plastic surgery. Do you remember his pasta matic machine?
