SPRIIIIIIIING BREAAAAAAAAAAK! Seriously, where is everyone? Spring Break? Are you on Spring Break? How’s Spring Break? Please be careful! Senor Frogs may seem like paradise, but it can also be very dangerous. And I was just kidding about paradise. What a nightmare. This is not a micro-nap! Get out of Senor Frogs! Come home! But also, have fun. You’re only young once. I recognize I’m giving you a lot of mixed messages. “Mixed Drinks and Mixed Messages” is the Spring Break motto. Seriously, you guys, by the time Monsters’ Ball happens on Friday, I’m actually typing the thing out on my Zune on the way to the hospital for sleep cancer. So don’t even worry about me!

Ed. note: And we’re back! Wasn’t last week weird? How were we supposed to know how who fared what in relation to everyone else in terms of the comments they wrote on the Internet? No. It was just too weird. This is better. Hi, guys! You win!

Ed. note: I don’t know why this is down-voted so much. It’s gross, but it’s just a call back to Sandra Lee’s even more disgusting Oscar nominees cocktail recipes, namely the Precioustini. Why can’t you guys just let gumdrop be great? Oh well. Better luck next time, gumdrop. YOU ARE IN THE DOGHOUSE.

Any chance we can recognize last week’s Monster’s Ball folks? I think the vote are back up. At least the caption winner, maybe?
INQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW!
I know I felt so lost last week I tried shaving with toothpaste, at least my face smelled minty fresh
Or at least Lowest Rated. Skinny Tie was robbed!
I know. i felt so bad. he tried so hard and wasn’t even here (much) this week to try again.
Hey! Thanks you two, it’s nice to see that my record of -82! (that was supposed to be capitalized but you obviously can’t tell) is up there now, I thought it was gone forever.
Also: Yay Mr. Hausfrau! Congrats! Here’s a special Glee gif for you:
…I don’t know how relevant it is, but I love it.
Okay. So, I went and calculated last week myself. For an unofficial Monsters’ Ball, check this out: http://werttrew.tumblr.com/post/445918974/unofficial-monsters-ball-for-march-5
PS Notsewfast comes in first! Again!
So I Like A Skinny Tie was DOUBLE robbed: for last place and second? Talk about unfair! It was totally like that one time someone won the Oscar, but didn’t actually deserve it!
Here’s a very random gif to cheer you up:
P.S. Did you get the part of ambidextrous disco-flute player in the young, hipster ochestra in SATC2? Or whatever you were auditioning for?
Tip: your spamming would probably be about 100 times more effective here if the “g” in your url was changed to a “t”
Mr. Hausfrau cleaned up this week! How appropriate!
Me:
Thank you Monsters! Have a Great Weekend!
Awesome gif, great job!
Spring Break starts now for me.Woooo
But I’m in grad school. So Spring Break now just means working on my many massive papers all due very soon. I’ll still be drunk though. I have to keep some part of SB alive.
Man, last week was my spring break. LAME TIMING EVERYONE.
You mean how Spring Break is no longer in Spring? I know.
My spring break was also last week, and let me tell you, cruising the strip for trill with the snowbird crowd was SO tight. Do people still call it trill? Did people ever call it trill?
What the hell is trill?
ThRILLing? Fun x a TRLLion?
It’s a portmanteau of “true” and “real.” If you truly wish to overstand trillness, Grasshopper, may I direct you to the Clipse jam of the same name:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJQU22Ttpwc
The beat is a little bit aggro for my tastes, but the hilariously broad range of non-rhyming words that get mangled until they rhyme with “trill” is pretty trill.
Exene, you accidentally linked to a Reggie Watts video, oddly enough! Here’s the Clipse song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm_vSnOsb5A
Clipse = The Best
Thanks, Jeff. My Ctrl+C obviously didn’t deploy; I’d been emailing links to that Reggie Watts video earlier so that was what pasted.
Here in Opposite World (Australia), Trill is a type of bird seed. TMYK

Wait, I just finished reading Monsters’ Ball so that means today is Friday… That can’t be right.
Hey guys! Who here is going to one of the Conan O’Brien shows? I need this information for coordinating how many Lunchables to buy.
Beach at Ft Lauderdale has mad weak wifi, yo. Sorry.
Time to blow of some steam everybody!
So is this like the sixth consecutive time you’ve had the #1 comment? You truly are the LA Lakers/Meryl Streep of Videogum. Only you deserve it and I like you.
I think we may need to consider installing an upvote cap. We need to make the system fair for the smaller market profiles!
Oh come on. Clearly not serious. Baseball jokes. Spring training, anyone?
Go enjoy your weekends, monsters. I’ll go stand in the corner and think about what I’ve done.
you mean… like sports?
Base…ball… ?
Never heard of it.
Hit me up anytime you wanna make a Pujols pun.
Congrats to Notsewfast again and everyone else that made the Ball. Awesome show, great job!
i like notsewfast as well, but if your avatar was a big veined ejaculating penis, would you get nearly as many upvotes?
No comment.
Either way, though, it would certainly put his username in an appropriate context.
GArggghhhh woozefa I do not need that image in my head. NSFNC!
YOU’RE NASTY!
Yikes! I am TOTALLY flashing back to grade school…
Well, I love you Monsters anyway! And congrats to Mr. Hausfrau!!
REDEEMED!
So yeah helluva week and everything, I’d go so far to say that these last few weeks have been particulararalarily good and I’ve really settled into das neues look but I would like to take the open forum which is die Monsterkrugel to gripe. I can live with not being signed in automatically like what we used to be (sometimes) but WHY won’t it remember my password? Yours, WAH WAH etc.
Maybe this has been addressed elsewhere butchyaknow?
WAT
Are you by any chance German and (given the current time in Europe) drunk? Because you are using very bad Gerglish – which is a word now- and terrible spelling.
That came out more judgemental than I meant to, I was just curious. Now that I’ve seen your profile, I see you are not German.. which makes that post even more awesome-bizarre (like Lady Gaga). Then again, my German is also terrible. Sorry, high school German teachers!
My last name is Gerglish.
Yeah I was totally locked. I’m not German but I was drinking in a pub called the Bierhaus, something must have rubbed off.
Oh, I’ve just seen your comment below, I didn’t take any offence friend! Have a good wochenende, tschus!
Ugh not below…the other one? Above!
English is Schwer!
Yeah no, same prob, it never remembers me either, in spite of the fact that I always click “remember me”. I think that die monsterkrugel is a relatively fair place to bring that up.
Even Batman is on Spring Break
So, seriously, anyone got some tips about how to change your password. After the reboot my login password was reset to something like “^AN8nSOui3r2″ (which is coincidentally my pocket calculator’s maiden name). But I’m getting tired of looking that thing up in my email every time I want to logon to Videogum (30 times daily).
I went through my “Profile” and did the whole “Change Password” thing several times, and it doesn’t ever actually change my password. Anyone got any advice for a guy that performs complicated math equations during work hours and then spends his break time trying to figure out how to login to pop culture blogs?
thanks guys.
It took me all weekend to find my bizarre password that contains parantheses and carats to say – YES, I AM STILL STRUGGLING WITH THIS AS WELL.
first try at serious videogum commenting this week.
it is intimidating with the amount of sheer lol’s generated by y’all.
Congrats and Welcome!
The sheer weight of lols compressing comments into DIAMONDS
As if I don’t have enough to worry about, now I am very concerned about sleep cancer…
I may not have made the ball this week (or ever), but I set a personal best in the SNL thread! Thank you to those 18 fellow monsters who made me *sniff* this week.
Don’t worry about it- it turns out I get the most upvotes when I tell people about my brother’s wacky adventures.
WHY DON’T YOU JUST GET ON HERE AND POST, JOHN.
I GUESS YOU WIN AGAIN, JOHN.
Gabe went to Senor Frog’s and, at first, he was all like:
But, then he was all like:
Happy weekend and happy spring break 2010!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be at Senor Tadpole’s having a margarita made in my mouth. SPRING BREAK!
I very rarely have something useful to add, or by the time I do someone else has already added it, but there’s at least one comment, every single day, that makes me decide to sign in for the sheer pleasure of upvoting it. Today it was markpopham’s brother John, but tomorrow it could have been anyone.
I guess what I’m saying is, thanks to you Monsters, I’m going to come up with a new personal motto! (PS, my old personal motto was “people that comment on the internet are horrible people.”)
Always
Be
Comment upvoting
Did I guess your new motto right?
ALWAYS
