Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Semi-Finals Round One

Today is the first round of the semi-finals. In the last battle Tony the Tiger basically mauled Cap'n Crunch and made him eat his own hat. After the match Cap'n Crunch was rushed to the hospital but it was too late, they couldn't save his hat.

In today's match we have Snap, Crackle & Pop versus Toucan Sam. As per the rules in the first battle the Rice Krispies boys can only fight one at a time and tag out when they want to, there will be no ganging up on Toucan Sam. Since I already interviewed both of these characters, I wanted to get the opinions of some fellow co-workers. Before the fight I interview the Janitor and Camera Man #3.

VS

PTM: How do you feel about today's combatants?
Janitor: Those dweebs? I’ve seen more roughhousing at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Rehearsals.

PTM: What do you use to clean up blood after the match?

Janitor: It’s this cool trick my mama taught me called the Sponge Bob Band-aid.

PTM: In your professional opinion, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Janitor: That’s a hard one. Let me see (takes calculator out of his shirt pocket and begins punching in numbers..scratches forehead..scratches forehead again..). 3!

PTM: On a cold winter night, do you prefer the taste of Rice Krispies or Froot Loops?

Janitor: Hell, if I’m gonna eat that **** at all, it ain’t gonna happen on a cold winter night. I’m just sayin’.

PTM: Camera Man #3 has been talking smack about you for the past week. How do you feel about that?

Janitor: Man, that dude’s lens is so small. He’s just jealous of my equipment – if you know what I mean.

PTM: One last question, Can you shampoo the couch that's in my office? RawknRobyn and Camera Man #2 left some stains on it last night.

Janitor: RawknRobyn? Dang, she acts all sweet and innocent. No wonder they call her “Rawkn” (said with an elbow nudge). Don’t worry about the stains, man. I’ll just pour red wine onto it, and you won’t see them anymore. It’s a little trick I learned while working at the White House in the 90’s.

PTM: Is it true that you have a gold statue of Toucan Sam in your house?

Camera Man #3: Yeah, in the corner of my bedroom. His nose is so long, he’s my idol!

PTM: Does it bother you that RawknRobyn is fooling around with Camera Man #2?

Camera Man #3: Nah, the only thing that bothers me about her (‘cuz she’s pretty damn near perfect, actually) is that she writes all this crap about celibacy on her blog, like she’s some hoity toity expert on the matter. I’m telling you, that little hot number doesn’t know the first thing about celibacy.

PTM: Did you vote for Obama?

Camera Man #3: Who’s that?

PTM: Why do you have a problem with the janitor?

Camera Man #3: One night when I was putting my equipment away, he walked by pointing and laughing at my lens, saying he never saw one so small. It really hurt my feelings. You know? Gotta tissue?

PTM: Have you always wanted to be a camera man since you were a little kid?

Camera Man #3: Nah, I just always wanted a bigger lens. I thought I might get one this way.

PTM: Okay, final question. What do you think of these shoes? I stole them out of Cap'n Crunch's locker last week.

Camera Man #3: Dude, those are some big, long shoes. I’m impressed (said while giving PTM a high-five).

I want to thank RawknRobyn from Life by Chocolate for playing the Janitor and Camera Man #3. If you don't follow her blog already then there is something wrong with you. Now the most important part, it's time to vote. And you are not voting for the Janitor or Camera Man #3, don't forget the battle is between Snap, Crackle & Pop and Toucan Sam. Polls close on Sunday at 11:57pm. The next round will commence next Tuesday. Come back tomorrow for Passionofthemom's Movie Game Guest Post.

Hodgepodge of Things: The Movie Game Winner & Monday Minute

I want to congratulate Janet Gonzalez, aka Passionofthemom from Something to Talk About for winning this series of The Movie Game. She pretty much got every question right. She has the memory of an elephant and probably watches movies in her sleep. I hate to admit it but I think she knows more about movies than I do. I am ashamed to call myself a movie buff. Her prize for being awesome is she gets to guest post a movie game of her own on Wednesday. Now I know a lot of you don't participate in the movie game but you should still come by on Wednesday and show her some comment love. If you don't I will hunt you down and make you eat a whole bottle of cinnamon.

I am putting the movie game on temporary hiatus for right now. It was a lot of fun to do but my brain is fried from thinking up questions. Also not enough people play it right now. What's up with that people? Go watch some movies, dammit!!

Here are last week's answers and the final movie game standings.

Fun For the Whole Family

Has anyone ever played the board game Mad Gab? It's a simple word game that is a lot of fun. It's not about what you say, it's about what you hear. For example read the following phrase aloud: Law Sand Jealous. Sometimes you have to say it fast to "hear" it. Did you hear Los Angeles? Here is another one: Apparel Owe Furs. Did you hear A Pair of Loafers? Now it only works if you say the words out loud. You won't hear the actual answer if you try and say it in your head.

This game is fun with a lot of people. Laughing hysterically always ensues. So for some simple fun I thought I would put some words/phrases from the game on here and you try to guess them.

There are no points involved, just some laughs. Under each set of words is the answer, just right click with your mouse and highlight.

Q: Us Cooled Each Her
A: A School Teacher

Q: Eggs Truck Itch Up
A: Extra Ketchup

Q: Europe Ray Fear Own
A: You're a Brave Hero

Q: Ease Bag Kin These Had Dull
A: He's back in the saddle

Q: Hit Snotty Fin Clothes
A: It's not even close

Q: Muff Heater Gold
A: My feet are cold

Q: Bat Chill Harp Hearty
A: Bachelor Party

Q: Hike Hen Sit Hen Year Rise
A: I can see it in your eyes

Q: Better Hoses
A: Bed of roses

Q: Ask Wig Cuss Awful Ash
A: As quick as a flash

Q: Sofa Kin We Tart It
A: So fucking retarded

So how did you do? It's a little tough at first but once you get going they will come to you right away. I hope some of you were playing this at the office and your coworkers were looking at you funny.

I Have a Surprise For You and It's Not a Toaster

I am sick and tired of receiving all of these awards. I am not that special. I am not that awesome. Please stop reading my blog, it's a waste of your time. You should..... "Hey pirate, what are you doing on my computer? How did you get in here again? Stop writing whatever you are typing!!"
"Haha, you will never catch me!!" (Pirate jumps through the window). "Dammit, I didn't get pirate coverage yet, that window is gonna have to come out of my giraffe fund, I will never be able to afford one now."

Sorry about that folks. I don't know how the pirate got in again. He somehow managed to get past the moat full of mutant tiger sharks (half tiger, half shark) and the clones of Mr. T. I have received a few awards over the past month that I finally need to recognize because if I don't who will? You? Probably not.








The first one is The EOD (end of days) award from Chuck over at Apocalypse Now. He made this award himself. I forget why I got the award. Probably because I bribed him with some pie and double stuf oreos. The other award is from The Invisible Seductress over at the blog of the same name (psst, it's called The Invisible Seductress). I got that fancy award for being a loyal slave...err blog follower and commenter. Thank you to both Chuck and Seductress for the lovely prizes. If you don't follow their blogs then you should hit yourself over the head with a big rock.

Now before I get on with the meat and potatoes (or broccoli and potatoes for our vegetarian bloggers) of this post I want to recognize muah for surpassing 400 posts!! You can't see me (or maybe you can, I don't know who is stalking me now) but I am doing a little jig in my computer chair. It kind of looks like I'm skiing without moving my legs, just my arms. I am sure it will be on youtube tomorrow.

Now that I received some awards, I want to give one out myself. For the first time I am giving out my own award. I didn't receive this particular award from anybody. I didn't actually make the award, I found it on google.




During the months of June and July I decided to keep track of who commented on my blog. I tallied them for about a month. To answer your question, yes I am a big dork with nothing better to do with my time. I received comments from over 60 different bloggers. Originally I was going to award the top 10 commenters but in honor of the ongoing dirty dozen posts, I am awarding the top 12. There aren't any rules attached to this award, just display it on your blog with some class. You can do a post about it if you feel like it, no obligation. So here are the winners in order of comments.

Blogger - Blog - # of Comments

Pat - Pat Tillett - 20
Alex - Alex J. Cavanaugh - 20
RawknRobyn - Life by Chocolate - 19
The Invisible Seductress - The Invisible Seductress - 17
Chuck - Apocalypse Now - 16
Passionofthemom - Something To Talk About - 12
Nippy the Penguin - Crazy Penguin Ramblings - 11
Baygirl32 - What's the Story Morning Glory? - 9
Marg - Finding Neverland - 8
Cheeseboy - The Blog O' Cheese - 8
Arlee bird - Tossing it Out - 8
T.S. - The Non-Review - 7

Thank you to all of you for all your awesome comments. Now if I see you slacking on comments over the next few weeks I will take that award back so fast it will give you award burn all over your hands. Click on any of the blogs to check them out. I dare you.

The Movie Game

This is the last round of the movie game. Better play while it's here.

RULES: I present you with two movies, for example: The Matrix and Miss Congeniality. The object of the game is to link them together to another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Speed using Keanu Reeves from The Matrix and Sandra Bullock from Miss Congeniality. Another example is: Link Top Gun & The Shining. The answer is A Few Good Men, using Tom Cruise from Top Gun and Jack Nicholson from The Shining. Get it?

Now they all aren't this easy and sometimes there are multiple answers. The questions range from easy to hard and sometimes I like to throw in a challenging one to test those true movie buffs. You earn points for correct answers and I keep track of every one's points on the side of my blog. There is going to be a prize awarded to the winner. Try not to use the Internet. This is a game of memory and skill. I ONLY ACCEPT ANSWERS IN THE FORM OF AN EMAIL, DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, LET EVERYONE HAVE A FAIR CHANCE AT PLAYING. EMAIL ANSWERS TO reviewsyoucantuse@gmail.com. GOOD LUCK!!

Easy - Link: Secret Window & Blood Diamond (1 point)

Medium - Link: Man of the Year & Ella Enchanted ( 2 points)

Hard - Link:Boat Trip & Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (3 points)

Challenge - Link: Suspect & The Rainmaker & Miracle on 34th Street (1994) (5 points)

Here is the new addition to the game. It's sort of like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon but instead of using Mr. Bacon I am going to give you 2 random actors/actresses and you have to find the quickest link using movies. For example: Will Smith to Al Pacino. The answer could be: Will Smith in Men in Black with Tommy Lee Jones who is in Batman Forever with Chris O'Donnell who is in Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. If you finding a quicker link than good for you. The less movies you use, the more points you get.

Link: Ray Romano to Eric Stoltz

Link: Tom Arnold to Penelope Cruz

Points are as follows:
In same movie together: 5 points
Using 2 movies: 4 points
3 movies: 3 points
4 movies: 2 points

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Round 4

Have you ever had Jamaican style frog legs? They are scrumptious. On that note, Toucan Sam defeated Dig'Em the Frog in a grueling match to the death. After the match we couldn't find Dig'Em's body but I figured the custodian took him away. We all went back to Toucan's house where he made us frog legs, must be a coincidence.

Today's battle is going to be an epic one, one for the ages, for the books (which books I'm not sure but they will be written down in something, maybe your diary) one you will surely not forget. Fighting today are Tony the Tiger and Cap'n Crunch.

Our combatants were really talking trash in the locker room so I let them interview each other. I hope they can keep their cool during the interview. I will listen in.

Cap'n: What is the capital of Uruguay?
Tony: What? I don't know. Why are you asking me that?
Cap'n: Just curious to see how smart you are.
Tony: I'm smart enough to know not to wear a pirate costume in public (snickering).
Cap'n: I'm under contract, I have to wear this ridiculous thing wherever I go.
Tony: Watch what you say man, you don't want to piss off your sponsors.
Cap'n: F@ck, Sh#t, God dammit, Motherf%cker!!
Tony: Whoa buddy, you curse like a pirate. Oh, wait...
Cap'n: Between you, me and that camera man, I don't even like the taste of Cap'n Crunch cereal. It tastes like Count Chocula's arm pits on a hot summer day.
Tony: That's Grrrrrross!

Tony: Why do we have to do another interview, I thought we just did one?
Cap'n: That was me interviewing you, now you have to interview me.
Tony: Who says?
Cap'n: Powdered Toast Man said.
Tony: Who the hell is he?
Cap'n: That tall dude that has a piece of toast for a head.
Tony: That douche?!?! Who put him in charge?
Cap'n: I think he owns this place but I also saw him cleaning the men's bathroom so I'm not sure.
Tony: Well I don't like him. Let's kick his powdery ass after our fight.
Cap'n: I think you might need to go to anger management. There are people that can help you there.
Tony: Looks who's talking, wife beater.
Cap'n: That's it, it's go time!!

Powerful stuff. I better go hide at my hotel room and watch the fight on TV, I'm no match for a pirate and a tiger. Vote now or forever regret that you didn't vote. Polls close on Sunday at 11:59pm. Next Tuesday I will reveal the winner and our next two combatants for the semi-finals.

Director Dirty Dozen

So far I have released my movie, actor and actress dirty dozen. Let me tell you those were not easy to narrow down to 12. I might have to do sequels to those posts and call it extended dirty dozen. There are soooooooo many more movies and actors/actresses I wanted to list but for your reading ease I narrowed it down.

I want to thank Alex J. Cavanaugh for thinking up the original dirty dozen idea. Without him I might not even thought up these posts. I love movies and talk about them any chance I get. Today I present you with my dirty dozen of directors. I realize that some of you don't follow or know of directors like you do actors. I, on the other hand have a good amount of favorite directors. I usually search IMDb to see what movies they are coming out with next. To help you understand my picks I am including major films you may have seen that have been directed by these folks as well as my favorites.

Without further adieu (I really don't know what that means) here is my director dirty dozen, in no particular order.

Martin Scorsese - If you enjoy movies at all you have to know this name. He has a plethora of greats but you probably have seen: Shutter Island, The Departed, The Aviator, Cape Fear, Casino and my all time favorite (which wasn't easy to pick) Goodfellas.

Christopher Nolan - He has to be my current favorite director. His films are so original and filled with awesomeness. I haven't seen anything that I didn't like by him. I can't wait for the next Batman installment. His films include: Memento, Insomnia, Inception, The Prestige, Batman Begins and my favorite The Dark Knight.

Joel & Ethan Coen - Joel has directed more than Ethan but they are both involved in all the films. These brothers always amaze me with what they create. You may have seen: Fargo, The Lady Killers, O Brother, Where Art Thou? Raising Arizona, No Country for Old Men and my personal favorite The Big Lebowski ( that pick is for you Pat).

Steven Spielberg - You would have to be living in a cave not to know something directed by him. He has also produced like half the movies in Hollywood. His list goes on forever: E.T., Saving Private Ryan, Indiana Jones series, Schindler's List, The Terminal, Catch Me If You Can. It is really hard to pick a fave out of his films but I will go with a classic, Jaws.

David Fincher - This name might not be as recognizable as Spielberg but he has directed some superb flicks, not many but that doesn't affect my vote. Zodiac, Panic Room, Seven, Curious Case of Benjamin Button and his best work Fight Club.

Clint Eastwood - I don't know how this guy still does at 80 but he gets better with age. He was also on my dirty dozen of actors. Must sees: Mystic River, Changeling, Million Dollar Baby, Unforgiven, and my fave Gran Torino. I need to get around to seeing Invictus & The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Paul Thomas Anderson - Another name you might not know but I'm sure you have seen something he did. His films are a little off kilter but that's what makes them great. You should see Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Boogie Nights & There Will Be Blood. I would say my favorite is a tie between Magnolia and Boogie Nights.

Kevin Smith - One of the greats of my generation. Either you have seen all his movies or none of them (maybe I'm wrong but that's how I feel). I like his earlier work better. His creds: Dogma, Chasing Amy, Clerks, Clerks II, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Cop Out. I think I like Clerks the best because it was so simple and in B&W.

Cameron Crowe - Only has a few films under his belt but they are some of my favorites. Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky & Singles. Another tough fave to pick. I'm gonna have to go with Jerry Maguire but it's almost a 3 way tie with Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky.

Guy Ritchie - I think he might be underrated as a director because he is Madonna's ex. His films are so freakin' good. You have to watch Snatch; Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, RocknRolla, and his best (I think) Sherlock Holmes. Psst, he is making a sequel..... woohoo!!

Tim Burton - That kooky man must be on here. I love that his movies are so weird and out there. His flicks: Batman, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Ed Wood, Beetlejuice and my fave Big Fish

Quentin Tarantino - Quite the film genius if I say so. If it wasn't for Nolan he would be my current favorite. Either you like him or you don't. His movies are usually pretty intense. His creds: Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, Jackie Brown, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Four Rooms, Sin City (special guest director) and still my favorite Pulp Fiction. He recently announced Kill Bill Vol. 3.

Robert Rodriguez - If you are keeping track you would know that he is #13 but I had to add him since I have Tarantino, they are kind of one and the same like conjoined twins, I have to have them both. He's done: Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, The Faculty, From Dusk til Dawn, Grindhouse, Sin City, Planet Terror. I enjoyed Sin City the most. I can't wait for his new film Machete with Danny Trejo as the lead.

Damn that took a long time. I already had the list made up but naming all those films took the most time. I would like to make a few honorable mentions that didn't make the list; Wes Anderson, Sam Mendes and Terry Gilliam. All great directors but there was only room for 12 (13 really). Who would make your list?

Inside the Actor's Studio

We have a special treat for you today. First, I will be filling in for James Lipton, he has come down with a bad case of Pacaderm flu. Second, today on the show we have a special guest. Wile E. Coyote has dropped by to give us a look inside his real life.

PTM (Powdered Toast Man): First off, I want to thank you ahead of time for taking some time out of your busy life to talk to us about the real you.

Wile E Coyote: Not at all my good sir, not at all. Glad to be a part of such an illustrious tradition.

PTM: My first question I know is on every one's mind. What does the "E" stand for in Wile E. Coyote?

Wile E. Coyote: It doesn't. That is to say, it doesn't stand for anything. Wile is a common coyote name. When I first started out in the business, Hollywood was flooded with so many other coyotes that you had to find a way to stand out. That E got me my first job.

PTM: Interesting., I thought it stood for Egbert. What is your life like when you aren't chasing the Road Runner?

Wile E. Coyote: I'm chasing down life. Last year I participated in a triathlon. I was the oldest contestant there. Sure I only placed fourth, but it's not about winning, it's about giving what you've got and enjoying what you're given.

PTM: Good for you. Do you have any kids?

Wile E. Coyote: [smiling] I'm proud to say that I am the father of 3 wonderful kids. I also have 16 grandchildren and 31 great grand children. It was 32 but my son mistook one of the children late at night for a pot roast and devoured it.

PTM: I'm sure that kid tasted like pot roast. Are you friends with Road Runner off the set?

Wile E. Coyote: That depends on which one you mean. In all there have been 7 Road Runners. I was close to the original till he died last year. The other 6... well maybe the last one. The rest though were royal pricks.

PTM: I had no idea, they all looked the same to me. Do you do your own stunts? If yes, have you ever gotten hurt?

Wile E. Coyote: Yes and yes. You may remember about 20 years back I won that lawsuit against Acme after nearly killing myself with their rocket roller skates. We wrote the scene where I slam into the wall, into the script. But that shot was real, as was the pain.

PTM: I ordered those skates once, they were hard to use and there was no instruction manual. If you could make a career change right now, what would you do?

Wile E. Coyote: At this age my next move is to retire [laughs] but I'll tell you, when I was a young pup I considered becoming a chef. I was vegan before anyone knew what that meant. I think I could have revolutionized the world of professional cuisine.

PTM: A vegan coyote? Now I've heard everything. I heard a rumor that your wife had an affair with Foghorn Leghorn, is that true?

Wile E. Coyote: [looking wistfully towards the stage lights] Claire was always looking for something. When she couldn't find it with me, she looked elsewhere. I haven't seen her in a few years now. I just hope she found whatever she was looking for.

PTM: That's sad, I would of eaten that over sized rooster. Do you get tired of chasing that Road Runner? Do you wish that they would just end it and let you catch him?

Wile E. Coyote: No, not all. Everyone knows people lose interest in a show when something actually happens. It's all about the tease.

PTM: Like how Trix Rabbit doesn't get the cereal. This last question is from one of our audience members, Gayle Prudent from High Ridge, Colorado writes: I love you Wile, you are the reason why I became an Ostrich farmer. My question is, how do you feel about Linda McMahon running for senator of Connecticut?

Wile E. Coyote: What does it matter? Everyone knows the senate is fake. Real politics happen in the house.

PTM: Well said sir. Well that's all the time we have today.I want to thank Wile for sitting down with us today and also for not eating any of my camera men.

Wile E. Coyote was played by T.S from The Non-Review, he also came up with the idea of it being "Inside the Actor's Studio". I (PTM) came up with the questions. I am sure you all follow T.S. by now but go give him some love anyway but first give me some love.

If you haven't yet go vote on the 3rd round of the battle of the cereal mascots. Polls close on Sunday at 11:59pm.

Something else to enjoy.

The Movie Game

Wanna play a game?

RULES: I present you with two movies, for example: The Matrix and Miss Congeniality. The object of the game is to link them together to another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Speed using Keanu Reeves from The Matrix and Sandra Bullock from Miss Congeniality. Another example is: Link Top Gun & The Shining. The answer is A Few Good Men, using Tom Cruise from Top Gun and Jack Nicholson from The Shining. Get it?

Now they all aren't this easy and sometimes there are multiple answers. The questions range from easy to hard and sometimes I like to throw in a challenging one to test those true movie buffs. You earn points for correct answers and I keep track of every one's points on the side of my blog. There is going to be a prize awarded to the winner. Try not to use the Internet. This is a game of memory and skill. I ONLY ACCEPT ANSWERS IN THE FORM OF AN EMAIL, DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, LET EVERYONE HAVE A FAIR CHANCE AT PLAYING. EMAIL ANSWERS TO reviewsyoucantuse@gmail.com. GOOD LUCK!!

Easy - Link: Terminator: Salvation & 10 Things I Hate About You (1 point)

Medium - Link: The Bucket List & Behind Enemy Lines ( 2 points)

Hard - Link:The Muse & American Splendor (3 points)

Challenge - Link: Misery & Cold Creek Manor & House on Haunted Hill (5 points)

Here is the new addition to the game. It's sort of like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon but instead of using Mr. Bacon I am going to give you 2 random actors/actresses and you have to find the quickest link using movies. For example: Will Smith to Al Pacino. The answer could be: Will Smith in Men in Black with Tommy Lee Jones who is in Batman Forever with Chris O'Donnell who is in Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. If you finding a quicker link than good for you. The less movies you use, the more points you get.

Link: Mark Ruffalo to Brad Renfro

Link: Jennifer Jason Leigh to Jamie Lee Curtis

Points are as follows:
In same movie together: 5 points
Using 2 movies: 4 points
3 movies: 3 points
4 movies: 2 points

A Brief Message

Go check out ETMC (Enter the Man-Cave). Geof interviewed a real author that wrote a real book, and I think he's giving away oversized lollipops and sno-cones. I'm 100% positive about the interview but only 17.3% sure about the lollipops and sno-cones.

Scroll down a post for the cereal mascot battle.

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Round 3

It seems as though Lucky isn't that lucky after all. The Trix Rabbit kicked the ever-loving snot out of that leprechaun. The match was over before it even got started. The Rabbit figured he now has the rights to Lucky's gold but luckily before the match Lucky said that if he died his gold would be donated to Wesley Snipes, to help him with his taxes.

Today's battle is brought to you by the symbol "^". In the red corner weighing in at 63 pounds from Kellogg's Froot Loops, Toucan Sam. In the turquoise with a hint of yellow corner weighing in at 42 pounds, from Kellogg's Smacks, Dig 'Em Frog.

Before the fight I had our combatants interview me in the locker room.

Toucan Sam: So why am I interviewing you?
PTM: Do you want to get paid for this fight or not? Just do the interview.
Toucan Sam: This microphone smells funny.
PTM: That's not a microphone, that's a hairbrush. Did you graduate High School?
Toucan Sam: No, I dropped out in the sixth grade.
PTM: That explains a lot. Just pick up the microphone and ask me at least one question, we don't have a lot of time.
Toucan Sam: Why did Julianne Moore play Clarice Starling in Hannibal and not Jodie Foster?
PTM: I think it's because Anthony Hopkins gave Jodie Foster crabs.

Dig 'Em: How did the interview go with Toucan?
PTM: He's a moron. I hope you can do better.
Dig 'Em: Am I invited to your wedding?
PTM: Why would you be? This is the first time we have met.
Dig 'Em: I never get invited to weddings. I bet you would invite me if I was Tony the Tiger.
PTM: But you're not Tony the Tiger, so deal with it. Next question.
Dig 'Em: Why did Julianne Moore play Clarice Starling in ....
PTM: Toucan already asked that question. Are you f@cking with me?
Dig 'Em: Toucan put me up to it. He didn't know if you meant the actual crustacean or the STD.
PTM: I need to lay down.

There you have it fans. Pick your poison, either a frog on speed or a coked-up bird. The polls close on Sunday at 11:59. Anyone trying to rig the votes will be tar and feathered. Come back next Tuesday for the final opening round between........

Female Dirty Dozen

I promised that I would make my dirty dozen of actresses after I did my dirty dozen of actors. This list was a lot harder to make because it's hard to think of actresses. They don't have as many leading roles as men. Also I am trying not to let their looks affect my decision making. Then it got harder because I thought of more than 12 so I will have to narrow the list down. The actresses are in no particular order. putting them in order would take me forever. I added a few of my favorite flicks and some tv shows with them.

Helen Hunt - I haven't seen her in a lot of movies but I loved her in As Good As it Gets and Twister. She was pretty good on the show Mad About You, plus her name was Jamie on that show.

Kathy Bates - She is a very versatile actress, She can be serious and funny. She was great in A Home of Our Own, Misery and The Waterboy.

Meryl Streep - I would say she is my favorite actress. I love her in anything she does and she's still sexy at 61. She looked pretty good in It's Complicated. My favorite film with her is Adaptation.

Sandra Bullock - How can you not like her? She was terrific in The Blind Side, go see it if you haven't yet. I always think of Speed first when I hear her name.

Drew Barrymore - The movies she's in aren't great but she usually is. The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates come to mind Charlie's Angels wasn't all that great but she kicked ass. I can't mention her without mentioning E.T. (There I mentioned it).

Frances Mcdormand - You may not know who she is, she's not a big name actress. She was the female cop in Fargo and the mom in Almost Famous. She is talented and I don't think gets enough credit.

Julia Roberts - I don't really have to mention any movies because she is one of those names that everybody knows but I still will name a few. My favorites are Erin Brokovich, The Mexican, Closer and Stepmom.

Angelina Jolie - I really liked her in Changeling. Her character was totally different than what she usually plays.

Diane Lane - She is another actress I haven't see much in but she is very talented. A few flicks that come to mind are Nights in Rodanthe, Unfaithful and Murder at 1600.

Famke Janssen - I liked her as Jean Grey in the X-men movies, as Petra in Rounders and Ava in the tv series Nip/Tuck.

Cameron Diaz - She is quite the spunky actress, a real spark plug. I really liked her in Vanilla Sky, There's Something About Mary and Shrek.

Rene Russo - Get Shorty, Lethal Weapon 4, Tin Cup and Outbreak.

Damn that was tough to make. I know I am probably leaving out some major actresses that I can't think of. Hopefully some of you will tell me who I missed. Next I'm going to reveal my dirty dozen of directors. Don't forget to vote on the 2nd round of the battle of the cereal mascots, click HERE, you only have until Sunday at 11:59 pm.

Weird Laws: Part NiNe

Here is the next installment of Weird laws of the United States. I wonder how many of them are still enforced today?

VIRGINIA

Radar detectors are illegal. My grandma isn't allowed in Virginia, she can smell radar from a mile away.

With the exception of raccoons it is illegal to hunt any animal on Sunday. It's because all the raccoons are Atheists.

WASHINGTON

It is illegal to spit on a bus. Even if I bring my spittoon with me?

It is illegal to use X-Rays to fit shoes. Ummm...... why?

WEST VIRGINIA

It is illegal to wear a hat inside a theater. But I just got a new stovepipe hat and I was planning on wearing it out.

If you curse in public you will be fined $1 for each offense. Can I pay ahead of time and use my curses throughout the year like a prepaid gift card?

WISCONSIN

It is illegal to serve margarine at a restaurant unless the customer requests it. I am usually only in the mood for margarine when I dine out anyway.

It is illegal to wave a burning torch around in the air. I guess the Olympics aren't ever going to Wisconsin. What do the angry mobs carry?

WYOMING

It is illegal to fish with a firearm. I find that my rocket launcher scares away the fish.

It is illegal to ski while drunk. I'm so self conscious about my skiing when I'm sober, damn you Wyoming!!

ALABAMA

It is illegal to train a bear for wrestling, or to promote bear wrestling. "Okay, I want a good, clean fight. No using your claws, no biting and try not to poop in the ring."

It is illegal to pretend to be a clergyman. But I have my Pope costume all ready for Halloween and I tricked out my car to look like the Pope Mobile too. All that work down the drain.

Only 800 Days 'til the Big Day

It has come to my attention that I haven't written about Nicole in awhile. Actually, Nicole brought it to my attention (several times). To be honest, she doesn't like that I blog, she thinks it's a waste of time. I can understand that coming from an outsider that doesn't understand the great blogosphere and the people that inhabit it. Now don't judge her, she is just looking out for my best interest. To compensate for her basically hating blogging, I write nice things about her and us to make her happy. And that's all that really matters right, making the little lady happy? I don't force any posts, I write from the heart.

I haven't talked about wedding stuff in awhile since we booked our venue because there hasn't been much to update. Well there was one eventful thing that happened a little after we found our place to wed. Now what I am about to tell you is top secret (I understand posting something top secret on the Internet isn't a brilliant idea but who are you to judge?). Don't tell Nicole's grandma what I am about to tell you, she might get upset and she is Italian and has threatened me before.

Nicole values my opinion about her appearance so naturally she wanted me to go dress browsing with her. She wants to look her best for me (which should be no problem cuz she does it already) so she would like to know what designs I fancy. We took a trip to David's Bridal to try on some dresses. Let me rephrase that, we went to David's Bridal so Nicole could try on some dresses. I prefer to cross dress privately so no one judges me. I look best in a backless dress with a 3 inch heel, but that's a story for another post.

Nicole makes it easy for the lady working there by bringing in pictures of the dresses she wants to try on. At this point I am both excited and anxious. I want to see her all dressed up in a wedding dress but I also know that the groom isn't suppose to see the bride in her dress before the actual ceremony. The lady working there, let's call her Rita, told us that most brides-to-be try on many dresses and they never tell the grooms-to-be which one they would pick. So even though I will see Nicole in wedding dresses, chances are I won't know which one she picks (if any from the selection) or remember them in general.

The first dress she tried on looked absolutely stunning on her. It gave her a nice shape, accented her features and had what she was looking for in a dress. I remember her looking beautiful in it but I can't remember what the dress actually looked like. I guess Rita was right. I know it had a corset-looking back with crossing straps, it was strapless and had some bling to it. It also perked up her boobies. Yay for boobies!! Sorry I lost my concentration. Where was I?

I liked most of the dresses she tried on. Some weren't my cup of tea but she didn't really like those ones either so it was all good. I got really excited seeing her in wedding dresses. If she looked great in an untailored, unfitted dress I can just imagine what she will look like walking down the aisle. She is going to look fabulous. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. I am going to need tissues in my pockets cuz my palms are going to be all sweaty. I want to see her in more dresses but it's probably better than I only go the one time, I don't want to spoil anything.

The new gardens at Anthony's Pier Nine (our wedding venue) are either finished or are almost finished. I can't wait to see how they turn out. I won't even notice them on the big day because my eyes will be locked on my gorgeous sweetheart.

The Movie Game

Are you a movie buff today? Let's find out.

RULES: I present you with two movies, for example: The Matrix and Miss Congeniality. The object of the game is to link them together to another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Speed using Keanu Reeves from The Matrix and Sandra Bullock from Miss Congeniality. Another example is: Link Top Gun & The Shining. The answer is A Few Good Men, using Tom Cruise from Top Gun and Jack Nicholson from The Shining. Get it?

You earn points for correct answers and I keep track of every one's points on the side of my blog. There is going to be a prize awarded to the winner. Try not to use the Internet.

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Round 2

The previous battle was a close one but in the end the Rice Krispies' boys kicked that chocolate vampire's ass. After the fight Snap, Crackle and Pop were jumped by the Keebler Elves. Snap suffered a broken collar bone, Pop got his eye socket punched in and Crackle has extremely bruised nipples from some hardcore titty twisters. I hope they can recover in time for their next battle.

Today's battle is between Lucky the Leprechaun and Trix Rabbit. They were randomly chosen and are here to settle their differences.

I picked two audience members to interview our combatants before the fight. Let's see what they had to say.

Timmy (8 year old boy) : Lucky, do you like cats?
Lucky: The musical? No, I hated that garbage. I'd rather see Sheep the musical.
Timmy: Have you ever peed on your mommy's favorite shoes?
Lucky: No, but I did poop in my dad's boot once. He was not happy that Christmas.
Timmy: I have 3 fish and 2 birds.
Lucky: Do I look like I care? Do you have any more brilliant questions for me.
Timmy: What's the capital of Thailand?
Lucky: Kid, that's an easy one, it's Bangkok.
Timmy: (He kicks Lucky in the balls) Trix thought you would say that. That's from him you drunken piece of crap. Go choke on a marshmallow moon.

Agnes (96 year old woman) : I think your cereal is too sweet. Why is it so sweet?
Trix Rabbit: I don't make the cereal lady, I just promote it. Like you and depends.
Agnes: Do you wanna see a picture of my granddaughter?
Trix Rabbit: How old is she? Is she hot?
Agnes: What? You will have to speak up, I can't hear so good out of this ear.
Trix Rabbit: I said, IS SHE HOT?
Agnes: Sure, I've got some pot. It will take the edge off before the big fight.
Trix Rabbit: You are one cool old lady. If you were 70 years younger I'd lay down the pipe for you.
Agnes: What?
Trix Rabbit: Never mind. (mumbles as he walks away) Stupid deaf old bag, someone needs to change her diaper.

Time to cast your vote folks. Does a leprechaun or rabbit win this fight? You can visit the Snap, Crackle and Pop in the hospital, visiting hours are 3 pm - 7 pm everyday. Polls close on Sunday at 11:59 pm.
