Well good morning! Are you ready for another exciting week? Ok, me neither, but let’s try to get moving and maybe it won’t be so painful.

BTW, is Save Ferris the cutest band ever, or what?

 

Want to join in? Here’s how:

Have a great morning.

Hello friends. The numbers are in for yesterday’s liveblog of the Oscars. We had a lot of traffic yesterday, and the server held up just fine. However, we used quite a lot of bandwidth. Please please donate when you can. We’re not internetting on Nick Denton’s dime. I hate to ask you guys to donate, but please get in the habit of sending us some money every week or two so we’re still around. $10 isn’t a lot of money, if we got $10 a month from all of our users we’ll be around for as long as you want us to be here!

If you see an article you like, please please tweet it, facebook it, etc. We need more users! Heck, get an approved commenting account on Gawker and spam links to crasstalk! Exposure is good for us. We can’t do it without you!

(Shameless pathetic semi-rant over.)

Have a nice day!

Good evening. Hope you have had a great weekend and are snuggled up and relaxed. Let me help you out:
Remember, use the fan brush, it works every time.

Doesn’t that feel better? Nighty, nite.

Hope you are having a great day. Here is some teen bubble gum fun for your viewing pleasure.

Personally, I always preferred Parker Stevenson.

Ok, try to calm down now.

Have a great evening.

Good morning. I don’t have anything profound, interesting, or even snarky to say this morning. Just hoping you are having a good Sunday and get a few minutes to relax today.

Have a great day.

All right kids. The Grand Inquisitor has to go out for a little adult fun tonight so she can have a little drink and forget about this week’s unpleasantness. Now go upstairs and put on your jammies before the sitter gets here. I expect you all to be on your best behavior. Since you have all been so good this week, you can stay up and watch a scary movie.
This is possibly the worst horror movie ever made. It is called “Blood on Satan’s Claw” and it was made in 1971. The little GI decided to watch it when she was a wee lass and her parents were out for the evening. She did not sleep well for weeks. You might want to watch it with the lights on.

I will check on you when I get home to clear the monsters out from under the bed.
Also, snark aside, one more thanks for being so understanding and downright helpful this week. Have a great night.

Well my friends, we are struggling to get ourselves back to normal, and I think we are doing pretty well. Glad to see all of you and hope we won’t ever be separated like that again.
The Grand Inquisitor needs to take a nap now, but she will leave you a channel of cute animal vids to delight you while she is resting.

Have a great evening, and thank you all for your incredible support and patience the last couple of days.

See, you made it. That wasn’t so bad was it? OK, maybe it was, but you’re done now. In the interests of equal time here are some puppies.

OK, now I am going home to see my baby.

How we doing? Staying awake? Being productive? Me neither. Well since we did bunnies this morning I guess it is time for some kittehs.

Not even your boss can take the cuteness away. Have a great day.

Morning Dear, time to get up. No, you can’t have ten more minutes. Get in the shower and get going. You don’t want to miss the bus.
Here are a couple cute bunneh videos to make the world seem kinder at this ungodly hour.

There. Isn’t that better. Have a great day.

Hope you had a great day. Last week, we posted some of our favorite weird articles from the wonderful world of Wikipedia. I thought I’d post a few more for your late night amusement.

The Boston Molasses Disaster. Nice to know corporate incompetence has such a long tradition in America.

Captain Midnight. Best tax protest, evar.

The Beaumont Children. Three Australian children who disappeared without a trace in 1966. A fascinating cold case.

Have a great night.
