Funcan





Since I'm such a good friend, here are some pictures I've dedicated to you. This is Funcan, aka Lee Ryan as he is legally called. He is 25 and does a bunch of stuff now. I didn't really look into it very thoroughly but here you go! He lives.

Mad Men was on television and I really need a cigarette. Or maybe it's just because I need a cigarette.

Northern's School Song



Hail Dear Old Northern
School of Fame and Learning
Thy praise we’re singing
Hear our voices ringing
Through the years to follow
Always we’ll be true to
Thy colours flying
Red, Gold and Blue
Rah Rah Rah Rah Rah Rah Rah

SING IT everyone

The Happy Meal Conundrum




When I was a kid, my dad always took me to McDonalds on Tuesdays. I always got the Happy Meal with the Chicken McNuggets and a small fries, but the TOY was the best part. No matter what it was, I relished whatever novelty item was in the box (bag?). Anyway, whenever my mom or stepmom took me to McDonalds, I NEVER GOT THE TOY. Whenever they'd ask if I wanted the toy behind the counter, my mom or stepmom would say "no she doesn't want it", or "no you can't have the toy" and I never quite understood why. Does the toy cost extra? Would it have taken up too much room somewhere? Inquiring minds need to know. Maybe I keep all my childhood toys to this day to make up for the trauma of never getting those amazing figurines.

Winning love by daylight: a memoir


As I was entering grade 3 Sailor Moon cards became SUPER SUPER cool. What I lacked in mood rings I made up for in Sailor Moon cards. Made up for and then tripled. I had a LOT of cards. I collected them in a binder and I had a very specific and logical method of cataloguing them. I had holographic ones and rare ones and super rare ones with not only one but TWO layers of stickers that my best friend at the time gave me in exchange for my continued support in best friendship. One afternoon after a fruitful day of trading and bribing and inward gloating about my success in the market, I decided to leave a huge stack of them, UNPROTECTED, in my desk. I don't know how many there were but by morning the next day I only had about 30 remaining. I don't think I've ever been as sad since then. A part of me is lost forever.

MOOD RANGS


I wanted one sooo bad as a kid but my mom said they were dumb. Childhood robbed, dreams shattered.

Today I had this explosive urge to read the picture book you made me about 50 cent and Chad Kroeger (among other big players on the MUSIC SCENE) but I left it at home so here is the next best thing:



Hard rock hurhurhur. Not that it matters but "anthematic" isn't actually a word.


Chad bragging about his redneck origins. To be honest I didn't make it to the end of this video but I love the guy who shits himself laughing at ~1:34. It's the sound of pure, uninhibited joy.


Chad Kroeger: Sorry guys, didn't mean to drink and drive.
Fan: Chad, you were driving a SUPER NICE CAR, what a stupid thing to do.
Everyone: Chad, how could you do this, you could have wrecked your SUPER NICE CAR.
MADD spokesperson (ironically not a mother): Chad is famous.

Think I fell for the girl on tee-veh



I'm more or less certain this is the douchiest song to come out of the 90's but it is also my favourite so deal.

elysia: and apparently rich had cancer!!!
chih: WHATTTTT
elysia: I KNOW
elysia: he had leukemia
chih: i know there was a huge scandal where he wrote super gross emails to some girl about anal sex
chih: no way....
elysia: WHAT?
chih: are we talking about the same person
elysia: rich from lfo?
elysia: MY RICH
chih: oh man
chih: did he recover?
chih: IS HE DEAD
elysia: no he's alive
elysia: but this was after and he was kind of fat
elysia: and he said that lfo broke up because of it
elysia: because he needed chemo
chih: hurhurhur
chih: that's sad
chih: where did you read this?
elysia: I SAW IT
elysia: on vh1
elysia: i know i may have betrayed your trust by lying about the hitchhikers
elysia: but THIS TIME i'm telling the truth

ummm

Did you notice that in Faded by Soul Decision he says "when I get you all alone, I'm gonna take off all your clothes"?? Like woah...subtle Soul Decision. Maybe I'm the last person in the world to notice this.

Trends I Can't Get Behind






And one more that I loathe:

5 movies I cannot bring myself to enjoy no matter what I do.

(a.k.a. Chih Chen risks offending the entire universe, SORRY IN ADVANCE)





Explain



Why this movie is funny...or others like it. Or why people like to wear vote for pedro t-shirts like 4 years after the movie came out and I saw one today.

WHAT

~Wish we never broke up right na na na

You went too far

I really love Mad Men, few can dispute that, but speculation to this degree disturbs me:

Don Draper - The Lost Years

OK, we know how utterly tormented Don is now, and it’s all attributed to his double identity.

But we also know this: when he was a car salesman (already leading his double life), he was all smiles and exuberance; with his secret friend Anna he continues to be all smiles and exuberance; and when he was wooing and first married to Betty, he was all smiles and exuberance. In all situations noted, Dick Whitman was living as Don Draper. He was all smiles and exuberance.

Something happened. There is a piece of the puzzle still missing. What happened in the lost years between then and now? I’m more and more convinced that Helen Bishop is a part of the puzzle. Convince me that I am wrong.

Especially this response:
MadMike // January 4, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I never thought of that connection. Could Glen be Don’s illicit seed?

And reply:
Mad Housewife // January 4, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Ha! That actually briefly (very very very briefly) crossed my mind too. However, Don and Helen both have such narrow noses and Glen’s isn’t at all. He looks more like Harry Crane’s kid truth be told.

Really, now. Really?
