Turtle Power!

 One of the perks of a summer clerkship is showing up at an event looking completely and utterly ridiculous.

The theme: What used to be cool.

And naturally, despite alot of dispute on whether or not the Turtles are still cool (which, while we concluded they are, the idea of getting up there dressed in green was too hilarious to let go), we decided to pay tribute to the old school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, by sacrificing our dignity at the Inter-firm clerk Trivia night, at which most normal people just dressed 80s.

Photographic evidence as follows:

The whole gang... notice all the turtles are represented at least once (Raph and Donatello were represented twice), and we have an April O'Neill, a Splinter and of course, Shredder...

Shells made out of hastily sewn piences of green material, with yellow paper hexagons stuck on with fashion tape..

Turtles and Shredder co-existing in harmony for the Maxi Taxi/Turtle-mobile ride to the venue.

Andy (Donatello), Laura (Splinter - complete sweetie from Newcastle) and Alex (Raph - also known as hands down the funniest person I have ever met in my life)... The nibblies we had are sort of cut off in the photo - but we seriously just got celery sticks, carrots, leb bread and dip. What the...!

Cowabunga dude! (JM as Michaelangelo)

Gotta love that last photo of Shredder (the artist formerly known as Robbie).

Needless to say, we won the "Best-Dressed" award.

The reward for the loss of our dignity: One movie money ticket for Greater Union. Hmph. 

I was never any good at numb3rs...

Decided to try watching Numb3rs tonight.

Opening scene included this dialogue:

Dude: We can't cancel the drill. Doing that would be like overturning the Titanic.

Dudette: But the Titanic hit an iceberg.

.... So it wasn't looking good from the outset. I mean, they ended the scene with that - like it was some hard-hitting comeback with a double meaning. What was she trying to say? How was that meant to be smart?

After that, it kind of looked up, and I think mostly because one of the brothers is hot.

The other thing I got out of it was that the brainy brother isn't all that brainy. He had one "theory" with this fancy name which was basically that when a person tries to reach their goal, they have to overcome obstacles. Dude, putting a mathematical/scientific sounding name on common sense does not mean it earns the right to be called a theorem.

And of course, to richen the experience, I had a huge celebrity mash face epiphany. The main FBI agent chick... she look familiar?

Well... anyone seen "The Emperor's New Groove"? Don't know what it is? Only Disney's most hilariously random cartoon ever! The villainess: Yzma.

If Yzma was real and less purple...

And as a PS - JT and Diaz broke up! Coincidentally, so has Britters and KFed. I smell a reunion in the making...

  Awww... bring back pinky and stinky!! xoxox

Nick Carter - A Grass Cutter?

I know it must seem like all I ever blog about is the Backstreet Boys, but it's just one of those things - I blog when I'm bored, and when I'm bored, I always seem to find my way back home to the "Backstreet Boys - Greatest Video Hits" DVD. Show me the meaning of being lonely indeed.

Today, someone at work (aka one Robert Dooley) almost RUINED my favourite Backstreet Boys song, "All I Have to Give" by pointing out that Nick Carter is a "filthy grass-cutter" when he sings that heart-meltingly earnest "I don't know what he does to make you cry, but I'll be there to make you smile..."

I always saw it as a pretty love song, but Robbie says that the Boys are dickheads cutting someone else's grass, and rather than saying, look, why don't you just resolve things with your boyfriend, they're saying everything'll be better once you come lay with me, my young pretty victim.

That is SICK Robbie, SICK. Look at this face:

Would THIS FACE have evil, lecherous intentions? Would THIS FACE lie to you just to get into your pants?

Back then, pre-Paris, he was pure, innocent. I will stand by that, and no one will ever convince me that "All I Have to Give" was any kind of slimy back-stabbing.

And just for the nostalgia and to calm me down:

Oh Boys, Boys!! Still love you AJ.

Three words for you:

WHY AJ WHY??!?!?!?
