Christlike Crushes

It was a mild Sunday evening when Henry and I decided to take the kid for a leisurely after dinner stroll around the neighborhood. We managed to make it three blocks before colliding with a pair of Mormon elders, looking especially clean cut and dashing in their dress shirts and meticulously parted

If You Ever Wanted to Induce a Heart Attack

If You Ever Wanted to Induce a Heart Attack

I want to talk about something that changed my life, something that made me appreciate terra firma. I want to talk about a mean little thrill ride called the Swingshot.   Clickie for video of its gnashing jaws of death in action When the Swingshot was the new ride for summer '06 at Kennywood

Kennywood Anticipation

Kennywood Anticipation

We drove past our local amusement park -- Kennywood -- yesterday while out and about. Usually, seeing the hill of the Phantom's Revenge jutting out from the park, appearing to touch the clouds, barely fazes me, but yesterday it kind of shocked me with a thrill. Maybe because it's about to open in tw

Westmoreland County Fair, alright? PART ONE

Westmoreland County Fair, alright? PART ONE

Before I regale you with the story of our (not so) debaucherous trip to the Westmoreland County Fair last Wednesday, I feel that it's prudent to backpedal and preface that yarn with another tale that is absolutely wrought with horror and gore. It all happened in the wee hours of Sunday, August 23

Cupcakes: An Honest Review

Sunday afternoon, we decided to try a semi-new cupcake specialty shop called CoCo's. Now, keeping in mind that I reside in Pittsburgh (which, for those of you who are unaware, is not exactly a mecca for cupcake couture), I did not hold my hopes so high and loose that they'd soar away through the atm

When Cupcakes Surpass Expectations: A Positive Review

I have a confession, something I've been holding out on: I succeeded in finding good cupcakes in Pittsburgh and I have known about them now since Sunday.  But I didn't want to go forth and hold a circle jerk in their honor until I tried them again. And again. And once more. The nirvana in a cup of

Vegetarian Beer Dinner, 2007

(Ed Note: Hello, I am reposting this from LiveJournal because I haven't made fun of Kara and Janna in awhile, and the memory of this evening brings me great joy. Also, Wordpress can get fucked.) Vegetarian Beer Dinner Wednesday September 26, 2007 I had been looking forward to this dinner for a few

Freaky Features: The Tiny Tragedies

Freaky Features: The Tiny Tragedies

Coral Armour of the Tiny Tragedies was one of the first members of Etsy's Dark Side that I came across. I remember this distinctly because it was last fall and I desperately wanted something from her shop but Henry said NO because he's MEAN and clearly was home sick the day all the boys learned ab

Nov 26

tweets give thanks for the people who understand sarcasm

Category: tweets

A Note From This Tweeter: If you cannot grasp the concept of facetiousness, or if you feel you might literally stop breathing unless you correct my every spelling error, then perhaps you should not follow me. Because:

  1. I do not have time or the care to reply to every douche bag and say “Dude, it was a joke.”
  2. I do not have an editor to proof-read my tweets, nor do I need you, a stranger, to do it for me. Guess what?? I’m a HUMAN BEING sending TEXTS from a CELL PHONE. And sometimes I even do it when I’m DRUNK. Until someone starts the Twitter Gestapo, GET A FUCKING GRIP. This is Twitter not the motherfucking New Yorker.

Thank you. Proceed.

Earth-shattering updates throughout the day, brought to you by Tart-Tits. Please try to continue breathing while taking it all in.

  • 16:45 I just scheduled something for 12/12; now I have a sinking suspicion that I already have something going on. Hope it’s not that gang bang! #
  • 19:29 Just spent the past few minutes forcing my cat Willie to play w/ a Polly Pocket. The other cats are totally all “Better her than me.” #
  • 19:32 twitpic.com/q5yih – She fucking loves it. #

  • 00:16 Called Henry & ;thru heaving sobs, told him I missed him. He hung up on me. (Probably has nothing to do w/ the fact that my tears were fake.) #
  • 10:46 My sanity is fissuring. Please send cupcakes to repair. #
  • 11:51 I wish I could wear something like this w/o looking like a complete asshole: Seduction in StripesSpecial Circus bit.ly/5ncxMS #
  • 13:26 All I want to remember about this past week is Chooch laughing while watching “Jumanji” for the 1st time. #
  • 18:36 At Cracker Barrel with Alisha and I feel like our waitress keeps reminding me that I ordered a kids meal. Also, Alisha tried to abandon me. #
  • 18:52 You know stress is getting to me when I can’t even finish a grilled cheese. #
  • 21:45 I’m thankful for Alisha alerting me to bags of dutch apple pie pecans. They might not fix my crumbling family but they sure are tasty. #

  • 12:27 Plz, Santa? :( www.anthonygreenschildren.com/owlstore/ #
  • 13:49 Henry:”Why do I want to give anything to Invisible Children? If I can’t see them, what good are they?” Those are the best kinds of children! #
  • 14:36 Wow. I’m having chest pains and for a whole .5 seconds, Henry acted like he cared! #
  • 14:51 So delighted that Chooch has made the whole house stink like the inside of his intestines. Want to come over? #
  • 15:38 Spent a few riveting minutes with Chooch discussing whether or not Jason Voorhees poops. Chooch says no b/c clearly Jason lacks a butt. #
  • 15:39 As for me, I’m undecided but plan to pen a research paper on this very topic. #doesjasonvoorheespoop #
  • 18:08 Watching @daboogmang & @bed_in_revolt get married via webcam. Alisha and Henry are crying!! #
  • 18:09 Actually, Henry’s eating peanuts and Alisha is ogling Jessi’s rack. #
  • 19:40 Apple wine & pizza & #Penguins at Mark’s with Alisha. Nothing to complain about right now! (Until Alisha gets lippy with me.) #
  • 19:47 Alisha told me she hates me, as a preemptive measure. And Mark thinks Sidney Crosby’s cute. #
  • 20:31 Oh what I was just doing? Climbing a tall ladder onto a roof to break into Mark’s kitchen window. THATS RIGHT IM A HERO. Or burglar. #
  • 20:32 Missed all but 2 minutes of the second period but my adrenaline high was worth it. #
  • 20:34 Just so you know, that was the first time I climbed a ladder. Apparently Mark was more concerned about his Fiestaware than my bones. #
  • 21:07 Melted chocolate on my chest, this is the best Saturday night I’ve had in aWHILE. #
  • 21:09 Discussing with Mark who is the cutest Penguin. Too much wine turns me into one of “those girls” I guess. # (In the original tweet, I had the audacity to leave out the “of.” Thank god some poop smear caught it and proceeded to school me for the next 4 tweets!)
  • 21:13 Mark to me: “I don’t think that makes you seasonal, that makes you bi.” #
  • 22:05 The Penguins w on. Alisha and Mark missed every goal. I laughed in their faces. #
  • 22:08 Me: “My boyfriend’s technically still married.” Mark:”That’s fine, if anyone’s going to hell, I fucked a priest.” #
  • 22:24 I wonder what would have happened if I had to perform a tracheotomy tonight instead of climb onto a roof. #
  • 22:33 Alisha looks sad when she watches Ghost Hunters. :( No really, I’m laughing. #
  • 22:58 And if you’re Mark, you’d think that one of the last Harry Potter books would be perfect to shove down your pants. #
  • 23:52 Glad there wasn’t a masked killer chasing me home, because I dropped my keys 4x before I got the door open. #

  • 00:58 I wish Henry said, “Oh come in! I’m just taking a hot batch of cookies out of the oven!” everytime I came home. Failed a test. Got raped. #
  • 01:38 I think it’s mighty rude that Henry left the room because I’m watching Degrassi. #
  • 10:26 Had 1 of my recurring underwater nightmares, plus got an homage to Whoopi Goldberg inked on my thigh. That calls for consolation cupcakes. #
  • 10:49 I get to visit my grandma in the hospital today. This is a very big deal. #
  • 11:24 Pray that Henry’s not the only one you have to rely on in times of family trauma, unless u enjoy getting a pat on the back & nothing more. #
  • 12:31 Today’s lesson: my family should steer clear of Vicodin. #
  • 12:37 My grandma is telling us about the strip show that was performed in her hospital room last nigh t. She was in Hawaii two days ago. #

  • 16:54 No really, cardio when you’re sick is a great idea. I promise! You burn twice as many calories when your lungs collapse. #

  • 01:28 Watching NHL On the Fly makes me appreciate our local announcers. Some of them sound like they’re herniating over goals; my ears weep. #
  • 09:56 I’m starting to get verifiably excited for thanksgiving. I hope everyone is in a good mood. And by that of course I mean well-medicated. #
  • 10:12 In the short span of a minute, I burnt butter, started a small fire & seared my pinky. It was awe-notsomuch. #
  • 14:52 I wish I wasn’t so ambivalent about my Etsy shop. I have so many pieces laying here, unlisted. Definitely over the pendants, too. #
  • 21:41 I <3 how I scour online for the classiest pumpkin pie this side of Heaven only for Henry to come home w/ ingredients for something else. #
  • 22:17 I never know what to do with myself once hockey games have ended. Oh look, there’s Henry. Guess I’ll just go punch him a lot. #
  • 23:26 Bleeding from a fight; smeared it on Henry. He said “ew” but secretly he’s aroused. #

  1. Francesco is OFFENDED November 26th, 2009 10:56 pm

    I see spelling and grammatical errors in these things I read. Also some of them offend me.

    I chose to read them anyways.

    Fix this, as it is clearly your problem

    I’m just going to start telling people that every mistake was made by Henry.

    He IS my ghost writer after all.
