I HATE the “We Will Rock You” commercial for Wal-Mart because the dad changes the key of the song. I find it so aggravating that a huge corperation like Wal-Mart that spends billions on advertising couldn’t find a guy who could sing it in the same key as everyone else.

True. And I was brutal. It didn’t matter if I liked you or not or if you were the sweetest person in the world, I only let you “live” if your departure would have significantly impacted my life. All in good fun, of course :)

He should have just let it be. I bet she wouldn’t have suffocated, she could have swam through the pipes and ended up in Lake Michigan. That’s how Nemo escaped!

Suggestions Wanted
I have most of the music for our wedding ceremony picked out, but I’m still unsure of some of it and keep changing my mind about others, so I want your suggestions. Keep in mind, the ceremony will be pretty non-traditional and therefore I want the music to be non-traditional as well. No church stuff and no classical stuff. So far all of the music I’ve picked out has been pop/rock. If...
Aretha,
Your hat and your singing are ridiculous.
Nicole
I saw on the news today that some duder had his children taken away from him from child protection services for some reason or another. The interesting and disgusting part of the story was that he had named his oldest daughter “Adolf Hitler” and his youngest daughter “Arian Nation” and then justified it by saying “I’m living in the future.”
Jack slept for 7 straight hours last night!!

Nurse: Yep. You do have a lump on your testicle. You should get that checked out.
Jack: Thanks for telling me something I already knew. You should work for the Huffington Post.
Flu shots are a hoax!
Before Jack was born, I kept telling Josh he needed to get a flu shot because my doctor insisted with a newborn in the house we both needed one. Needless to say, I got one, he never got around to it, and now I’m the one with the frickin’ flu.

My new favorite pastime as of tonight is coming up with ridiculous “period” wedding themes with my sister and friends. Some of my favs are: The Revolutionary War, Victorian, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Great Gatsby, and The Gold Rush.
A City Built on Industry
Today my sis, my friend Erica, and I ventured to the industrial world of Wisconsin to look at wedding dresses since Escanaba’s wedding dress selection is gross. My sister has a knack for saying slightly inappropriate things in public places and this included dressing rooms where store clerks were helping me try on enormous wedding dresses. For example:
“Your breasts look great! You...
