What do you get when you dress a weener dog up like a giraffe? Well, this.

Those of you who know me know that I am obsessed with weener dogs. I mean, what other dog looks this funny dressed up? And have you seen a weener dog run at full speed? Forget about it. There's nothing funnier.

Just thought I'd pass this along...anyone else got any funny dog-in-costume shots?

So, last night I was privileged to watch 'King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters', a documentary about the battle for the title of Donkey Kong World Champion.

I'm sure most of you have seen this by now and have already died laughing at the gaming-nerd idiosyncrasies displayed shamelessly throughout the flick ('There's a possible kill screen coming up if you want to see this!'). Who could forget characters like the guy who discovered fingerless weight-lifting gloves in the 80s and never stopped wearing them to protect from joy-stick calluses? And you probably had to hold your side when Billy Mitchel, the reigning world champion of Donkey Kong, compared his issues in the gaming industry to abortion issues and compared himself to God.

In an interview I found that was conducted by a guy named Pete Freedman, he asked Mitchell about his other world title, that of 'Pac Man World Champion'. Mitchell relayed the events that ensued upon claiming the title, which involved an appearance on an Asian game show where he was 'flanked' by security guards when escorted to the stage. His quote regarding the event is classic.I

"It was like rock star status," Mitchell said. "I felt like George Bush."

Excuse me? I don't think I have the words to describe how hard that made me laugh. But, in an effort to make YOU laugh, here's a clip from an interview with Bobby. Again, classic.

If you haven't yet checked out this film, I highly recommend it. Hilarious.

Bad PDA, Good Photo Opp

As a society, there are dos and don'ts. Here's a big don't. It's an even bigger don't if you happen to be sitting this way in a crowded airport termainal, loudly discussing the sexual positions you tried on your honeymoon with you new spouse. True story. Sick and wrong, but true. Thank goodness for cell phone cameras...this shot is compliments of my sister.

Prom-tastic

There are times in life when you get so bored you think, "We should throw an 80s prom at our house." That time came and went Feb. 8th when I and about 75 others took a trip down memory lane with puffy sleeves, skinny ties, and of course, ankle boots.


Words can't really describe how hilarious the night was for me. The music was fantastic, everyone got busy on the dance floor in their rad get-ups, and to top it off, one guy wore a metallic gold, turtleneck Dickie. I was unaware, up to that point, that those were ever even manufactured.

In spite of the Dickie, he didn't win prom King. That went to the Miami-vice clad Dallas Browning, who apparently spent hours at DI and Target searching for just the right ensemble. And man did it pay off. He and his Queen, Bryn Arnell, took a turn dancing in the spotlight as prom royalty.

All in all, I think everyone had a good time and went home happy with a group shot to remember the night by (compliments of Dallas Graham, prom photographer). And I think I learned a really important lesson that night: no matter how tight-fitting or black a dress it, it will never look chic (or even good) with waist ruffles.
