r|break: sunday fiber break (a l'il pg-13)

oh the trials of talking about "heading downtown with petula*." given this is the sunday fiber break, current's sarah haskins incorporated a reference to moses (y'know, a bit of a religious reference) ... so here we go (OVER HERE ... and down "there" - in a manner of speaking)

uhm(?) and "thanks!" to dean iguana ...
... for bringing this to my attention.
(... alpaca - heehee)

*[petula-challenged?
go to urbandictionary.com for yourself]

r|break: pre-weekend fiber break...

... because harold's girl (aka jenm) and i **heart** the big bang theory, just a clip from this week's episode -

i wonder what this episode would be like
if dean iguana
(aka sacto floyd)
were sandwiched in between
sheldon and raj?! hmmmm?
>peace, bitches.

r|break: a brief fiber break ...

... very brief.

no video clips.
no music clips.
no nostalgika.

simply put ...

> peace, bitch!

tc5: epi8 bgbgbgbhg-ing ...

blog hunting & gathering for epi8 ... and as mentioned in past posts, these are the places i poach for tcfrivolity fodder. ready - set - go!

the pack your crap and go! (thanks harold's girl) award for epi8 went to ... ariane motherhood (thanks dean iguana). now she can drink (and cook with) dr pepper in the sequester house with the other packed-crapped-peeps.

so what happened in epi8? ... let's go bhg-ing! and as i've mentioned before, when you visit the folks where blog hunting & gathering-ing is poaching, please consider posting a l'il comment or two! (lots of work and snark go into entertaining the tcfrivolity crew!) ...

• david dust's cock of the walk ... kicks off epi8-bhg! here are just a few tidbits from his recap - his entertainingly brilliant recap! a bit of snark here & there ...
  
  • on hosea about leah ... And by “buddy”, he means “that horny nympho who is all up on my jock but I’m too much of a wuss to hit it”.
  • During their preparation, most of the Cheftestants say some snobby chef crap about how they wouldn’t be caught DEAD using canned ingredients … blah, blah, blah. Get over it. You wouldn’t be caught dead drinking Diet Dr. Pepper either – but you monkeys sure jumped through that hoop last time, didn’t you?
  • the 3 teams conventional names also referred to as
    
    • lamb ... team mary and his little lambs
    • chicken ... team foghorn leghorn, team my cock is bigger than yours
      
    • pig ... team piggly wiggly, team porky pig
      
  • Everyone returns to the Stew Room and the judges discuss. Toby Young says some asinine thing about wanting to have unprotected sex when confronted by a nice piece of meat. But he is just so douchy that I can’t even appreciate this verbal gift that has been given to me. I know – Whatsamattayou?!?
• amuse-biatch ... known for photoessays and fun clips and quips - a l'il bit about ariane getting booted and her exit video (over here) and photoessay of jamie (over here).
• cliffie's down on the farm (or chicks and ducks and geese better scurry) ... comes equipped with a few monikers sprinkled about for the 3 teams
  
  • lamb ... team jersey baa, team siss boom baa
    
  • chicken ... team cluck
    
  • pig ... team oink-n-wink
    
  and his recap of the judge's table may help the tcfrivolity peeps who didn't finish the episode.
  
• blogging top chef ... as a few posts on epi8. a couple are winning/losing team (over here) and what tcfrivolity prize will NOT be (over here) unless tcfrivolity peep, jolli-E, races to the head of the pack.
• eric3000's animal farm (duh!) ... once again, dialogue and observations/narrative galore. a few picks here -
  
  • Padma: "And because Hung is the shortest Top Chef winner, you will have a very short amount of time to cook. That's how we worked him into the challenge."
  • The chefs are taken out into the country, where nobody will be able to hear their screams. They demonstrate all the special features in the sponsored car, like the cup holders, the sun shades, and the secret compartment for storing the bodies.
  • Stefan: "I'm the only pussy in the hen house. I'm a giant pussy. Pussy, pussy, pussy."
  • So Toby wants to have unprotected sex with a pig. Sounds like Tom Cruise is getting lucky!
• minx's epi8 recap over here ... with a bit of a preview yesterday over here (for which, if you read the comments, does the work photoshop mean anything to you?). so sit back, relax, and chuckle/smirk as you finish up your bhg with the minx. go-go-GO!
  

until next week's epi9!

tc5: to give a point or not?

for tcfrivolity peeps ... below presents the current status (as of ~ 9:45 PM) of whether dean iguana will get a bonus point, BUT FIRST (!) - and sacto floyd, aka dean iguana speaks (and spits) ...

• I don't need a handout, just a hand...and a liver, kidney, spleen, and any other parts I can sell on ebay.
  Remember that a society is judged, not by the way it treats its most defenseless citizens, but by the way it treats lounging, cold-blooded lizards.

• I don't know dean iguana from diniguan or deep-in-guano, but from what I heard on the 'net (and from what I heard is on the women's bathroom walls in Arco Arena), he seems like an extraordinarily nice guy. The kind of guy that would vote for YOU if you asked him nicely. So what if his skin is somewhat scaly and he lounges around on branches all day long? You would, too, if you're faced with a 2-day furlough from the former steroid-shooting Gropinator. And I heard he has significantly advanced shirlsd's collection of cubisms. So whaddayasay? Let's give him a teensy, little, itty bitty wittle point -- one for the Gipper.

here are the current results of the poll which is posted over here.

YES VOTES currently = 6 with a combination of the following responses:

• yes, because i'm not really playing to hit top score. when is happy hour? (3)
  
• yes, because no matter what, he probably won't catch up to me (2)
• yes, because i want dean iguana to win the whole game by one point, thus making (1)
  

NO VOTES currently = 6 with a combination of the following responses:

• no, because i don't trust iguanas. when is happy hour? (3)
• no, because i'm competitive. (0)
  
• no, because I want points for being pretty (1)
• flat out "NO" vote from me. i want to start a collection of those cheap made in china fabricated trinkets you buy. you never know one day they could be collector's items! (1)
• vote = for the sake of having an opinion, i vote no. i'm stingy and competitive and i think armadillos are better than iguanas. no free points for reptiles. i don't ask for handouts. i pay my taxes. and timely, thoughtful pics are sometimes better than early pics. (1)
  

EH VOTES currently = 1, which will be based on a flip of a coin. heads = yes. tails = no

• o.k. - i vote "eh" but i wanted to leave a comment. please flip a coin. (1)
  

VOTE OVER HERE !!!

tc5|break: what's dean iguana thinking?

let's take a little top chef(rivolity) break with some scatalogical-themed(?) thoughts, puns, ramblings, and then some while heading into tonight's episode 4 from a dean iguana ...

"Pack Your Crap and Go" (coined by harold's girl) sounds like part of a behind-the-scenes incident at the Glad Culinary Orgy House ...

Fabio: Heya Stefan, u still inna batharooma? U a finnish?

Stefan: No, you stupido italiano! I totally swede!

Stefan: Ha, good one Fabio, you stoopido dumbass! You pretty smart for an italiano!

Fabio: I lova this man! He's a likea a bald Bjorn Borg. I'm a gonna call him Stefan B-Cubed!

Carla: With crazy Euros in the house, can you really get it right?

Ariane: My goldfish thought I was qualified to be here, so here I am.

Hosea: Gawd I love the goose down pillows in this house. So comfy.

Leah: Those are pillows, you twat. Those are my airbags!

Jamie: Danny, your dropping crumbs all over my awesome soup.

Danny: Oh sorry, Lezbo Minelli.

And so the harmony continues...
