Inappropriate!


And this is right next to the "Local News" tab, which announces several gunshot and stabbing murders. Just when you think life can't get any weirder or more inappropriate.

Random Number: 132


132 dollars. Not 132,000 or 132,000,000. 132 dollars. That's about half a Kindle. That's how much Uma Thurman's movie "Motherhood" made in the U.K. it's opening weekend. I'm not a fan of Uma, but I guess people must reeeeeeeeeally not like her in England.

Tweedle D's Top Ten List #1: Facebook Pages

This Month's Top Ten: Facebook Fan Pages Whose Purpose Escapes Me

10. "Alfred (Batman's butler) is a Superhero"
This one isn't so much pathetic as just "huh?" worthy. It just baffles me. I...I...I don't know how I should react. Just...why?

9. "vampires are awesem"
These are the exact fan page titles, punctation, capital letters, spelling...all of it. I did not make this up. I won't question the merit of vampires, that is a battle I will not endeavor to take on at this time, but I will address the chosen spelling of the word "awesome." Really? Is it that hard of a word? I just...I just don't understand.

8. "You Must be Fire Cos You Are HOT!!!!"
Quite possibly the least clever pick-up line EVER.

7. "when girls THINK they are cute cuz they act dumb. but they are NOT."
I vote that we put an addition to this fan page that reads: "Unlike US. who are smart. and KNOW it."

6. "why do people make weird faces when they drink coffee?"
.....do people make weird faces? I hadn't noticed.

5. "I wonder what cartoon characters are doing in between episodes?"
They're probably hanging out in their studio trailers making weird faces when they drink their coffee.

4. "Not being eaten by sloths."
Ah yes, the classic "not being eaten" line of Facebook fan pages. I do agree with it though, I am definitely a fan of not being eaten by sloths.

3. "Not being eaten by the giant flying spaghetti monster."
Again, also a fan of this, but unofficially, of course.

2. *#blOking sOcial inTernet siteS in xul is so not cOOL#*."
So uncool. Then there's nothing else to do but learn that symbols do not begin and end sentences, and it's not ok to capitalize at will and school is not spelled "xul." It's time to end this captivity of free speech!

And, finally, number uno:

1. Is it a bird? is it a plane? No! It's SUPER HITLER!"
Wow. I..hmm...it's offensive, makes no sense, and destroys one of my favorite Superhero lines of all time all at once. Bravo.

*Note: If you are a creator or fan of any of these fan pages, please understand I mean no offense to you or any of your beliefs as reflected in your facebook fan pages

The Christening

BOO!

Now that we have your attention...hello and welcome! This is E&E's Cornucopia of Higgledy-Piggledly, where anything and everything is considered fodder for open criticism or unwarranted praise. Stop by and pick out whatever juicy morsel catches your eye, be it a hilariously out-of-context quote from a variety of television programs, an amusing or inspiring photograph, a ripe, random news story, a Youtube link, a musical analysis, or whatever else we have found incredibly entertaining for that day. Let's begin by introducing ourselves:

Tweedle Dee:
Hi! I'm the female representative of our toothsome twosome! My assorted hobbies include squeezing animals, feeding fish, snickering to myself, shouting, and opening and closing cupboards. My favorite person is my taller brother Tweedle Deelier, who shares my morbid fascination with unrelated, useless trivia.

Tweedle Deelier:
Welcome to the ever-flowing fountain of unimportant, unrelated, unnecessary and altogether fantastic facts and most-likely-not-so-many figures. As was mentioned by my esteemed collaborator-in-randomness, Tweedle Dee, we are siblings who travel through space on the same mental wavelength. Whilst Tweedle Dee's "assorted hobbies" are quaint and a little crazy, mine have reached a level of maturity and development a galaxy or dozen away from my lovely sister's. I find solace in cooking delicious things, dancing awkwardly in inappropriate public forums, observing to the point of scrutiny, and getting my feet warm (an impossible task as of yet, but I refuse to give up). So, World, we fling wide the doors of oddity and disconnected thought and invite you to join us on this journey through life's most unexpected back-alleys.
