Irish Joke

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, 'tween the legs of me wife!"

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the best toast of the night"
She said, "Aye, did ye now? And what was yer toast?"
John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.
The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary."

She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised meself. Ya know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come."

Cue the drums!

Wilmer Valderamma...

So, I guess Wilmer was on the Howard Stern show this morning and spilled all juicy info on some of today's hottest starlets. So, who is this guy and what makes hollywood girls go gaga? Here is some of the dirt.

--Lindsay Lohan is one of the best girls he's ever had.
--Ashlee Simpson is incredibly loud.
--The first girl he dated in Hollywood was Ariana Richards... you may remember her as the kid in Jurassic Park.
--On a scale from 1-10, he gives Jennifer Love Hewitt an 8.
--Speaking of the number 8, Fez claims to be "slightly bigger" than 8 inches.
--He got with Mandy Moore when she guested on That 70s Show.
--He's videotaped himself in bed on more than one occasion, but he's erased the tapes so they wouldn't leak onto the internet.
-- He's had two women at once.
--And completely unrelated to all of this, he recently purchased Chuck Norris' old house.

Brian's right...

My pick up line should be....Kiss me, I pee'd all over my pants. Since that pretty much happened one of the first nights he stayed over. I really had to go to the bathroom and I was locked out of my apartment--- or something like that. So, I went to pee in the street. But, most of it ended up on my leg. Ahhh, young love. How could he resist??

How about this for a pick up line?

A St. Patrick's Day Miracle?

You've probably never heard of Haldis Gundersen, but once you hear her story, you might want to get to know her so she'll invite you to her house:

By an improbable feat of clumsy plumbing, someone at the [Big Tower Bar] in Kristiandsund, western Norway...accidentally hooked the beer hoses to the water pipes for Gundersen's apartment. "We had settled down for a cozy Saturday evening, had a nice dinner, and I was just going to clean up a little," Gundersen, 50, told The Associated Press by telephone Monday. "I turned on the kitchen faucet and beer came out."

The beer was flat, but I still think that deserves a full-throated "Dude!"

Thanks, Best Week Ever!

Is Best Week Ever the Best Site Ever?

You decide. I find this site very entertaining. Here's one about everyone's favorite socialite, Paris!

To Whom It May Concern:

Over the course of the past few days, we have received numerous reports, most of which stem from a passage in this news story, indicating that Paris Hilton has herpes. We would like to officially go on record as saying that these rumors are completely and absolutely false.

As our reputation seems to be soiled hourly by members of the press, it seems just cruel to further tarnish our name with sensational hearsay such as this. We aren't as bad as everyone thinks, and we wish you would all stop making up these lies about us. So, to set the record straight once and for all: WE DO NOT HAVE PARIS HILTON. That's just disgusting.

Signed,
Herpes

Love YOUTUBE!

Dwight's Speech...enjoy

Really great show!

Here are some clips from one of the best shows out on tv. While there is some debate over UK version vs. US version- you just can't help but laugh out loud at both. Personally, I am really digging the US version. The second season has really spun off of the UK ideas. Funny, funny stuff

Live Action Opening

Watch this live action opening to the simpsons....pretty cool!

While I hate this picture of myself (specifically neck roll and back). Brian looks good - as he keeps reminding me.

Another Late Night...

So, last night was a blast! We went out on the town and got our booze on. Saratoga during the school year is filled with college kids. Which makes me feel a little strange...and nostalgic about the days that were. We went out drinking, asked people how old they thought we were (sometimes good, sometimes bad, always funny), and just enjoyed the company of friends. Maria and I both agree that it feels great to see people from high school that look way worse than us. I know that sounds mean- but a little true. Didn't get home until about 3- but on the plus side I remember everything. Including hot sauce from my dough boy all over me....(not that way...get your mind out of the gutter)

Catch you on the flip side!

Last night...

Was it me or was Paula Abdul off her rocker last night. She was either smashed off cosmopolitons or high off something like glue...

probably tried to hook up with Simon. Grrrrr

Seriously...

I'm teaching america's youth for what reason exactly??

Olympics Vs. American Idol

Well, I consider myself to be an olympic fan - but for some reason these winter olympic games just didn't do it for me. The other night I was sitting around with the fam and discussing why american idol could possibly do better in the rating than cheering for good old USA. Here are some major points:

1- Not enough back story. I for one, love to hear the sob stories of the athletes. Remember back to Dan Jansen? That poor guy just kept on falling - but in true olympic spirit- never gave up. I just didn't get any of that this year. Show me a little heart and soul and that the athletes actually WANT to be there

2- There was no team "unity". WTF, hint hint Shani Davis and Chad What's his name.

3- I love a good romance- how about showing us a little Real World:Olympic Village. Spice it up a little. MTV should have chosen the croatian bobsledding team to follow around and see how much american "booty" they could snag. Well, maybe not the croatian bobsledding team but, you get the idea (maybe a little shaun white/sasha cohen roomraiders?)


Just thought I would mention it.
