100 years ago today, the Jews parted the Red Sea to escape from the cruel, palsied hands of the Pharoah, with timbrels on their hands, whatever timbrels are, and pockets full of dust. (This may or may not be an exact retelling of the Passover tale.) And so it simply feels INAPPROPRIATE (read: not lazy, morally determined) to have Editors’ Choices in the Monsters’ Ball. For aren’t we all Jews in the dessert in a way? And didn’t we all find each other here and take comfort and safety in that? So let’s lay down our swords (each Jew was issued a sword before he/she stepped into the ocean. It’s really a pretty fascinating story, you should read it on your Kindle Fire) and just enjoy each other’s company and these dumb old crackers and give big ups to You Know Who. See you next week. In Jerusalem!

In defense of my boyfriend there’s other female characters in that show besides the bimbos. There’s the neglectful mother with contempt to her children, the hateful ex-wife whose only pleasure in life comes from torturing her ex-husband, the bitter maid who is bitter because she’s not as attractive as the bimbos.

Attention everyone this is very important: The Jodie Sweetin chat on tinychat/videogum has been postponed to next week to observe the holiday. See you then at 5:30 San Francisco time.
It’s the Sabbath and Jews are dancing before sundown
Nice picture…
Let’s dance like Lana Del Rey!
i need more of these.
Your Wish is my command redundant.
awesome. then make gabe (either gabe is fine) be my husband and post more of these.
Guess who started the week early because he got into advertising grad school? This basTURD!
Congrats! Tell us if it’s like Mad Men.
It is! My acceptance letter came in a package along with a pair of panties, a pack of Lucky Strikes and a bottle of gin!
You might want to double check that school’s accreditation.
I wouldn’t worry. Accreditation boards are usually pretty easy to buy off if you keep them supplied with cigarettes, gin, and hot chicks.
The cure for the common college education.
Congratulations! Hope you’ve built up your drinking tolerance and your intolerance for women tolerance!
Also, I had this random but accurate thought: I joined VG because of this thread that I keep going on about. Vg was the first website I’ve ever joined but since then I’ve spend the most time with Vg than any other form of entertainment save for MAYBE the Simpsons and the NFL. Anyways, keep doing what you do. Good Job, Gabe, Kelly, and monsters. Stay Awesome.
not too crazy about that thread because its pretty obvious I was getting treated unfairly. cyber bullying is never okay.
Oh! Great Friday chat topic, what brought you onto Videogum? For me it was the WOMAT for Bride Wars.
My little sister sent me a link to WMOAT because she said it reminded her of my movie blog and I read them all during a really slow few months at work. And then later started reading the other stuff.
LOST recaps.
I think my need to commentate in these web environs was born out of what I observed to be the unacceptable hypocrisy of this blog disparaging the Benjamin Button movie for the same things that earned accolades for the LOST program. Some times you can sit back with a smirk and your arms crossed and just say nothing, but then sometimes you have to speak out against injustice.
WMOAT Elizabethtown brought me here, the rest of WMOAT and the True Blood recaps kept me here. For the record, I definitely do not watch True Blood, but the recaps are so perfect because Gabe hates them so much and I feel bad for his sufferings but also never want them to end and am super excited for the new season!
I honestly can no longer remember. It MAY have been a LOST recap. It was definitely before Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance video was released. Is there a Way Back Machine handy, keyword “KajusX?”
Anybody remember Ass-Nuts? http://videogum.com/98051/who_cares_why_charlize_therons/celebrity-gossip/
Absolutely WMOAT. Is that coming back?
Also, topknot I heard you were compiling a worst song of all time thing, and then suddenly it came up as dinner conversation: America – a Horse with No Name was a top candidate as most annoying.
I really really hate “Knights in White Satin” by the Moody Blues and would like to nominate it. Stereogum, get on this, it’s a great idea.
Or it’s Topknot’s. Do it Topknot, it’s a great idea.
I was probbly drunk like I amnow.
I used to read Lindsayism – when she started writing here I followed her over. I no longer read her stuff but still follow the gums religiously <3
That was a superb caption contest winner, but I think if I knew how and/or where to upload my god damned images so they would work I would have got at least 5 upvotes with my “Yes We Vulcan” jpg. Yay me in my own mind! And yay everyone who won, you’re all my heroes!
I totally would have voted for that.
In the future tinypic or imgur both work well.
what about in present day times?
Well I was going to upload an important note with the coveted videogum commentator reverse ball tally whereby we calculate via scientific method the top five best blog posts of the week, the worst blog post of the week and the editor choice BUT since his holiness decided that he needn’t deign to do an editor choice or associate editor choice for best commentator then, quid pro quo, ergo ipso facto, we will now turn the tables by not sharing this important web blog comment. See you in your prayers and sleep tight.
You are just so full of wires and dust and bugs that it’s not even funny, you weird, robot wolf monster.
Monster’s Ball: Now with 75% more period jokes
Spot-on comment.
I’m flowing with chuckles.
bloody good laugh, what?
ew
“Her?” That’s my reaction to finding this of all my comments get so many votes (let’s pretend for this joke that I refer to my comments as people).
I always wanted to have a cool gif to celebrate my finally make the top 5, but since this caught me unawares, I’ll just share the creepiness that I found while looking for a new avatar:
GAh. I tried to write out three different things about this, but could not properly put forth anything cohesive about the practice of sexualizing-through-the-practice-of-further-anthropomorphizing-cartoon-animal-characters other than GAh.
GAh!

Oh come on now! I already see too much of this stuff just logging into deviantART.
I don’t think Jews are allowed any dessert this weekend
Catholics aren’t allowed any dessert today, but I just ate some of my Easter candy. #goingtohell
I am so lapsed that when my mom called me yesterday to invite me over for Easter dinner I said “When is Easter again? Next weekend?”
Uh yes we are, just get yer danged yeast outta there.
That’s what he said.
Yes we are!
Maybe this isn’t the right place to discuss this, but I’m starting to have some serious doubts about the existance of the Easter Bunny.
oooh you’re so “outre” and edgy, guy
Am I?
I mean, I’m no Gummo or anything, but I try.
Come to think of it, there’s a bunny in Gummo, right? Is that the Easter Bunny, Steve?
“For aren’t we all Jews in the dessert in a way?”

Wowee, thanks for the upvotes, guys!
