'Twas the night before April Fools...

Be afraid tomorrow...BE VERY AFRAID!

Scumfrog Fierceness

A few years ago, Matt and I got to meet diva Kristine W. The woman is incredible. Imagine our excitement when we saw she will be performing at Seattle's Gay Pride festivities.

With her leukemia in remission, the diva is fierce...and not in a tranny way!

Jumping the shark

I think Matt would kill me...

French & Saunders meet Anastasia

I love French and Saunders. I love Anastasia. How great is it that they performed together???

And the original video...

She's so sasssssy!

Lick mommie's feet

Today, Scootersville got its 30,000th hit! In honor of this occasion, I uploaded a scene from a favorite movie, "Serial Mom."

I love the look she gives Scottie at the end.
"REWIND!"

A greater threat to America than terrorists or gays...

Maybe president shrub could ask Sally Kern to help. If her brains got eaten, no one would notice.

This has nothing to do with Mariah's birthday!

All of you thinking that this post is a swipe at Mariah Carey, it's not!

I think the dude sounds like the guy from the Benny Lava video.

Happy Birthday, Mariah

It's Mariah Carey's birthday. And though I'm not an avid Mariah fan, her voice is amazing. I probably would play her music more but I love my dogs and her whistle voice-thing hurts them.
This video is from her first and, dare I say, best album, Vision of Love.

It is hard to take Mariah seriously after watching the BRILLIANT Debra Wilson's portrayal.

Happy Birthday, Miss Ross

Today is Diana Ross' birthday. I have amazing memories of this woman. Everyone who goes to a Diana concert believes that she is singing only to him. Well, I had the luck of her sitting on my lap cooing a ballad while playing with my hair. I was not just starstruck, I was truly spellbound.
This video is from a TV special back in the 80s. I remember watching it thinking this rendition was sublimely celestial.

Forever Young

Diana, this song's for you. Happy Birthday...and may you stay Forever Young.

Happy Birthday, Elton

Today is Sir Elton John's birthday. Elton is beyond musician, beyond rockstar, beyond even diva. He is a true artist. For decades, this man has been packing arenas and putting on shows that are lifetime memories.
Matt and I went to see Elton when he played Key Arena a few years ago...from the front row!! Originally, we were to have been seated quite a ways back, but because we're so damn cute and soooo full of energy, one of Sir Elton's crew asked us if we liked to "have a good time at a concert."
Duh!
So this man in a tuxedo sat us up front right next to megastar! And a good time we had. We screamed, we danced, we gushed. It was incredible!!!
The next day, a friend who also went to see the concert, said that Matt and I were on the big screens almost as much as Elton.

Thank you Elton, not just for four decades of music...but for one of the best nights in my life!

Four decades of "Your Song"


The beautiful "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Words"


A great live version of "Philadelphia Freedom"

And my personal favorite "Healing Hands"

Happy Birthday, Reggie!

Does your government care what you think?

Mine doesn't.

104? She doesn't look a day over 100!

Today is Joan Crawford's birthday.

"Her lips could dismantle a tractor...and have" -Charles Pierce

I missed a birthday...

Yesterday was an important birthday...that of William "I am acting" Shatner.

He boldly takes camp to a whole new level.

Happy Easter

It's Holy Week, Pt. 8 - It's Jesus Christ!

With walk-on-water action!!!

"Look, it's Jesus! He has risen. But if He doesn't see His shadow..."

I stepped on the ping pong ball

Few people realize the day before Easter is a minor pagan holiday, St. Gloria's Day. It's a day when families gather about and have strained honey daiquiris and tell ghastly stories.

What, pray tell, can be better than a holiday involving Rosalind Russell and Coral Browne.

The price of gas

I listened to some people complaining about the price of gasoline. They were wondering why the price has gone so high. Stunned, I had to ask if they remembered what business president shrub and his henchman, Cheney, were in before they began their "public service."

That's right, the oil industry. Does the price of gas make any more sense now?

It's Holy Week, Pt. 7 - Jesus Saves

It's Holy Week, Pt 6

"Young man, there's no need to feel down. Young man, get yourself off the ground!"

Why some kids don't appreciate Easter

Brains, must eat brains!

Talk about junk food!

It's Holy Week, Pt. 5 - Epiphany

There's a special place in Scootersville for Mo Gaffney. The woman is a comedic genius!! Who can watch her Ab Fab character, Bo, without laughing out loud? Sit back and enjoy these clips from the episode, "Gay"



I know, I've posted two of these before, but dammit, I love Mo!

It's Holy Week, Pt. 4

And Jesus said, "For God's, sake shut up"

It's Holy Week, Pt. 3

Seperated at birth???

Joe and Shirley Heezgay have done some hysterical "Seperated at Birth" posts. Here's my entry. Miss Ross and The Corpse Bride.

It's Holy Week, Pt. 2

It's Holy Week, Pt. 1: British Humour

Years ahead of us Yanks, the British TV always makes me laugh. Hmmm, I wonder why this show "Little Britain" hasn't made it this side of the pond?

It's Friday...time for Wednesday.

I was attacked by the Girls Scouts the other day. Talk about high pressure sales...if you don't buy their cookies, they key your car!!!
It reminded me of a scene from one of my favorite movies, The Addams Family. Here the always amazing Christina Ricci is questioned about her lemonade. Her deadpan response is classic.

I so badly want to use this line every year!

March 12 of 12!

Thanks to Chad Darnell's 12 of 12, the 12th is my favorite day of the month.

It was a beautiful sunrise as I drove east to Issaquah, the Land of the Nouveau Rich.

This salmon sits on top of the credit union next to the store I work,

This famous place sells root beer and what I am guessing is PORN. I mean what else would have a triple X rating. Sitting in a dark corner of this out of the way root beer stand was none other than Elliot Spitzer. You didn't think all that money he was paying out to those hookers was just for sexual favors. They had to be giving him root beer, too! Very good root beer.

No pictures taken while at work...too depressing. However on the way home, I was snapping shots at anything that would smile or pose. This is I90, one of the longest floating bridges in the US....and then the bridge becomes a tunnel; one of the longest tunnels through soft dirt.


This was Miss Lebratay. She wants to do your taxes.

Almost home, I took a detour...to the Botanic Gardens.
I love these stairs. They are so self-assured and just a little bit sassy.


This is a very old tree of the genus Contorted Sallykernus.
This tree actually stinks because it rots from within. Botanists have tried to move the tree, but have failed. It seems Contorted Sallykernus doesn't like to be near 10% of the other trees! This tree believes that flowering trees are more deadly than loggers! On a brighter note, this tree makes its own manure for mulching!


This azalea pink flowers called out to me. They chanted and cooed, "Scooter, oh Scooter!"

This bench is actually a landmark of sorts. I don't know why.


Magnolias just about to explode! OW!


This cherry tree is right outside our house. Don't think Matt and I have tried to bring it inside...I mean, wouldn't this make a fierce centerpiece!!!

When I got home, I heard excited dogs on the other side of the fence. Not knowing for sure what I would see, I held the camera of the gate and took a picture. My guess was correct...it was Kali!


Today's bonus word was "Bokinotokko'ko"
I had NO idea what Bokinotokko'ko means and the closet definitions I came up with was either "Clam shell with ivory pieces gargled by fishing men" or "Ivory carved into a fishing village within a clam shell."

All in all it was a fun day made funner. Thanks, Chad!!!

For Sally Kern

A message from myself

I love Jennifer Coolidge. The woman cracks me up. Whether she's playing a ditzy blonde or a ditzy brunette...she's simply brilliant!
As Sherri Ann Ward Cabot from "Best in Show"

"I'm gonna be right here until I get another message...from myself."

As Amber Cole in "A Mighty Wind"
"Thank God for model trains. You know, if they didn't have the model train they wouldn't have got the idea for the big trains."

NEWS FLASH!

With all this talk of a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket, Republicans are running scared!
They have several exploratory committees and focus group studies going on seeing how Ronald Reagan would do as a running mate.

It seems being dead really isn't an issue. After all, Cheney has been undead for years.

The best video...EVER!

"Don't you see I'm trying on a hat???"

What do you think?

Yesterday, I was in a down mood. There's a lot of bad stuff going on at work and it's becoming a difficult place to be. As you can see from the posts I made yesterday, the political news was also weighing on me.
I needed something to make me smile. These, however, made me laugh out loud.

Where exactly was his maraca?

I always knew he could just get up and fly away
So, my question, was Liberace gay?

Shame on Sally

I listened yesterday to Oklahoma state Representative, Sally Kern, speak of the evil the gays bring to society. She believes we are even more dangerous to this country than terrorists!

So who is the scarier evil? Gay people or Osama?
NEITHER
Miss Kern, true Evil comes from your heart and that which your black heart and others like you spewed into the White House. Be ashamed! Your president approves of torture and holding people without a warrant or access to counsel. Indeed, your shrub wants to listen in on your calls and have access to your emails, and your searched on "The Google", all without any warrant. You sheeple are giving away our civil liberties and you call me the greatest threat to this country because I love a man. Unfortunately, the blackness of your heart has blinded you.
Wake up! DON'T YOU REALIZE they're your rights he's taking away, too!

So now the quiz...

WHO IS MORE EVIL?

A) The gays

B) The terrorists

C) president shrub

D) The sheeple who made W president

BTW: Sally Kern's email is sallykern@okhouse.gov

The legacy of a shrub

president shrub today used his veto today when Congress tried to ban some methods of torture, including waterboarding. This man, for lack of a better term, has put our troops in grave danger. If we all the torture of enemy captives, what will they do?

If this were done to our troops, would we not all be outraged?

So follow me, just follow me...

Amanda Lear; a true enigma. A protegé of Salvador Dalí, he was her mentor, she his muse.
For years, there have been rumors that Amanda was born male and that after her sex-change, it was Dalí who reinvented her as "Amanda." Joanna Lumely has suggested that the free-spirited, fast-living Amanda was the inspiration for the AB Fab character Patsy Stone.
Here are some of the Amanda's videos. You have to see them to believe them.

"Follow Me" What's up with the Dracula cape?



"Fashion Pack" That's not the term I would use.



"The Love Boat" Who wouldn't cruise with Amanda?


I don't see an Adam's apple...

Until youtube deletes it...

Everytime I find a link to Tina Fey's SNL monologue about Hillary, it's been deleted. Here's one with a nebulous name. Maybe it will stay up for a few more days.

We love Tina Fey!

Allow me to introduce you to Tarkan

Tarkan needs no introduction to Eastern Europe. In Turkey, he's a megastar and has sold over 15 million records worldwide. The Washington Post compared his effect on fans to that of Elvis. Born in Germany, raised in Turkey, Tarkan's music has an exotic, almost ethereal sound.
"Start the Fire"

"Bu Gece"

"Hup"

He's come a long way from being a wedding singer!

Stay the Course 2.0

president shrub endorsed John McCain today.

And why wouldn't he? Doesn't conservative mean "Staying the Course"?

That's one more step...

By Associated Press
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The Legislature has passed a measure to expand the state's domestic partnership law.The Senate gave final approval on a 29-20 vote after minimal debate. The bill now goes to Gov. Chris Gregoire, who is expected to sign it.The measure adds domestic partners to sections of laws where previously only spouses were mentioned, including areas referring to probate and trusts, community property and homestead exemptions, and guardianship and powers of attorney.The underlying domestic partnership law, passed last year, already provides hospital visitation rights, the ability to authorize autopsies and organ donations, and inheritance rights when there is no will. Opponents argue that expanding the current law dilutes traditional marriage.

Eurovision 2008

I have been watching some of the videos for the contestants for this year's Eurovision contest. One of my favorites has been Man Meadow from Poland. Which is odd don't you think, as both members of the group are from Sweden? I found this song stuck in my head as I'm sure you will, too!


Remember 2006? Dima (from Russia) nearly won with this song.

The live performance was cool...but the official video was much better.

Rick Astley would never...

Pushing the evelope...

Yesterday, I posted a video about...well, you know what it was about. Today, I'm really going for the gasp. It's a video of Debbie Reynolds signing and, well uh, dancing! I found this little ditty on The Village Voice.com. This song just doesn't right for her . . . and NOT in that dress! Oh wait, maybe she got hammered in that dress. I'll bet she did!

With hits shoes like this, it's a wonder why the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas closed.

Sometimes you just gotta make do.
