Plato’s Sharpie

Probably one of the funnies Craigslist Ads I’ve ever seen.

Autographed Copy of Plato’s Republic


Date: 2008-07-09, 11:00AM CDT

1st edition of The Republic signed by its author. There is of course a reasonable amount of wear and tear, (light highlighting and underlining, dog-eared pages, back cover missing, etc.), but it is in overall good condition considering its age.

First come first serve

Danger Will Robinson!

Do not EVER, I repeat NEVER, EVERwhether by accident or deliberate intent, allow Champage to come in direct contact with your genitalia. Well, unless you enjoy the idea of simulating the sensation of plucking the Sun from the center of our solar system and placing it directly onto your bodies most sensitive tissue – Or even the idea of giving it the feeling of drinking a gallon of Moonshine, rapidly… then by all means, have a go!

*Why in the hell would i just randomly say this? Ok, first, no type of “warning” ever originates from a random place, they all come from someone who has, ohhh, let’s say – thought it would be cute to pour champagne over them in the bath tub, to perhaps enjoy the tickly bubble sensation and were sent flying 6 feet vertically the instant said alcoholic “bubbles” launched an assault (to rival that of Hiroshima) on their girl parts. An assault that neither soap nor rapid slapping could sooth. I’m not naming any names or anything *whistle* but – You have been warned.

That is all.

Toys That Amuse Me

Posted in Misc. with tags , , , , on 19 July 2008 by brandi

I am so smitten with the Lego Star Wars game, I began collecting the Lego Star Wars Mighty Muggs.
(6″ Chunky Vinyl Figures that with moving parts for action play!) Ok they were for my son but I had to have some sort of valid reasoning for purchasing them. A 33 yr old girl can’t justify such a purchase for herself, except to herself – so yea, I’m we’re trying to get them all.

Between Walmart, Target & Toys R’ Us we’ve found most of them (around $10) but the best of them all was Mace Windu who looked EXACTLY like Samuel L. Jackson in Star Wars drag.

I think he might be worth having just for the Sam factor. The resemblance is sickeningly uncanny. (I’d laugh my dick off if i saw SLJ walking down an alley wielding a fucking purple light saber. I can totally see a disco ball dropping from the sky above his head and a mass stream of purple and gold mardi gras confetti flowing in behind him as he stopped to yell “Suck on this, you Stormtrooper Motherfuckers!” Wha-Pow!

Here are the other’s that you may or may not be able to find.

I’m still after Boba Fett, Yoda & Ben Kenobi.
But first and foremost… The Stormtrooper.
Indeed, I have an unexplainable “adult like fondness” for them.

;)

/swoon

I’ll undoubtedly marry the first man who shows up @ my house for a steamy, surprise date in a badass Stormtrooper Replica costume. Uhhh Yep.

Lego Star Wars – Viva La Procrastination!

Posted in Misc. with tags , , on 19 July 2008 by brandi

Oh, Lego Star Wars II Trilogy, where have you been all my life?

This is the cutest damn console game I’ve ever played, aside from old school Mario Bro’s on the original Nintendo. It’s actually kind of hard in some areas, so it keeps you baited for a good long time – but with my 5 yr old son excitedly spending all of the studs we collect each time we arrive back @ the cantina (when I repeatedly inform him that we must save them til we reach 1.1Million) so we’ll likely never get to purchase the unlocked “Ghost Of Ben Kenobi” character and will be undoubtedly on the Lego fish hook until we can.

Le Sigh

If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a peek.

Fucking adorable! (Warning: Lando has this strange ability to stop Leia in her tracks no matter what she’s doing in-game, to kiss her hand.)

I hear there’s a pc version to the game but I’ve not played it. My friend “hobo jack” has that one and he too says it is love. I think I like it on the console best. This way I have something to break the monotony of pc gaming. I’ll save that shit for Warcrafting on the Macs, and Sims2/Spore on the PC.

Speaking of Spore – You really have to play this.

There’s a pre-lease for the full “game” version that comes out later this year ($50!), but they do sell a “creature creator” version for $10 that’s seriously a lot of fun (I saw it @ zee wal-mart yesterday for $9.97 and almost couldn’t walk away from it). The game site offers free trial downloads, full version download, pc/mac box purchase, and some links to video about the game itself.

I suppose if you like wasting hours of time creating bizarre and totally unique “creatures” (that you can share with the web, as the game requires an internet connection) you’ll enjoy it. I definitely do.

Viva la procrastination!!!

Cosmetic Safety

Posted in Misc. with tags , , on 17 July 2008 by brandi

Uh. Eek?

So, It seems to me that everyone in the free world has a constantly evolving awareness of chemical dangers in cosmetic, health & household products. Which is why we have so many companies reaching out to touch our (possibly hidden, sometimes boldly visible) green sides. Right? Well, I guess it’s possible that there are still millions left unaware and who continue to remain unaware, not out of lacking concern, but simply because the tools to “easily” and “quickly” research the matters have not been made readily available to them (or brought to their attention).

Luckily – there’s the Environmental Working Group: Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database


Among a slue of other organizations (which many of us may have no previous awareness of) Environmental Working Group may just be one to help propel us “chemical-danger-dingbats” into an age of self enlightenment, and perhaps into a position of being a mass of individuals who actually “change” something.

Promoting information & awareness isn’t a new concept, but we all know that word of mouth spreads fast – And when you find something of this magnitude, that can help millions to help themselves as well as those they share the info with in day to day conversations, It’s certainly a brilliant one. So why aren’t we doing it?
Chances are, if we aren’t it’s simply because we just don’t have the information or tools to share – and now, we do.

Read the website, the articles (there are many, and each is chock full of something you probably weren’t aware of) do some research on your own… Find out how quick and easy they make this process, then, with your new found experience, go share your experience with everyone who will listen

While you’re there please consider signing their petition – the outline is short, simple and very straight forward. You can also search for and purchase safe cosmetics which meet any of your desired standards without ever leaving the site. If this site began with the intent of being a retail sales outlet – well, you can’t tell it. But if it did, they have the most brilliant form of advertising… Education.

Half-Open Letter To Perez Hilton

Baby girl, you need a content editor! (Or an assistant to skim over your posts before they go live)

I know you use a mac, so you have a built in spell checker everywhere you type – but that’s not the problem… you aren’t spelling anything wrong, you’re just fucking your words up every 5 seconds and misplacing them with similar variations of the word you intended.

i.e. “Baby, we’ve miss you” on a recent blurb about Zac Effrons sexy biceps.

Come on PeePee!
You know as well as I, that when slinging the insults (or the occasional compliment) you’ll be taken more seriously (or at least more highly regarded for your attention to detail – and juicy details ARE your business) when your grammar and spelling are up to par. I adore you PNasty, Just as I did back when I lived in LA & said hello to you almost daily @ “the office” pre-fame, but you’re fingers are slippin, girl.

Maybe it’s the excitement of reporting PNasty gossip first. Maybe it’s because you’re becoming and staying busier than ever before. Maybe it’s all that working out (and yes I’ve noticed your girlish figure as you slim down and tone up) that has your fingers too weak to bridge the connection between mind and keyboard.

Whatever the hell it is, get an assistant to skim over your posts for review (or at least, to go back in and correct the little sillies that slip out) You can afford it now! (Hell, I’d do it for free just for the satisfaction of seeing you run a tighter ship) Your critics don’t need anything else to harp on you about, now do they? Course not! We don’t need any wannabe versions of you out there taking up any of your “gossulting” limelight. And no you can’t steal my freshly made word. Touch it and I’ll sue. LoL.

Love, Peace & Chicken Grease,

~brandi

(p.s. i’ve noticed that someone’s kindly crafted a photoshop logo stamp for your blog, which you use on your own exclusive photo’s. You should really think about asking those same fella’s (even though any decent photocrapper would have already gifted this to you without having been asked) to create a nice photoshop penis stamp to adorn your pics instead of being made to waste all that time in “Paint” scribbling penii on everything. I’m sure you could have a whole set of your fave scribbles “stampified” to speed up the foto’ffiti. process. For a busy girl like you that’s a major time waster!! Stamp N’ Go PeePee! Stamp N’ Go!)
