flanny | Jan 22nd | Score:11 | |

Since there was a mild mention of Mark Wahlberg here, I want to let everyone know that I did indeed go to Wahlburgers this weekend, and it was ever so delicious. Still highly recommended, even though we didn’t have any Wahlberg sightings. |

[Assoc. Ed. Note: We had a big comments-section conversation about Wahlburgers last week, so over the weekend flanny actually WENT to Wahlburgers and then reported back. Monster dedication, you guys. FLANNY YOU DESERVE THIS WIN, CONGRATS TO YOU!!!]

“This is our finest Rob Schneider.” |

| Posted in: This Is Just A Good Way To Describe Wine | |||
[Assoc. Ed. Note: This made me laugh a lot because the other jokes like this in the comment section of this post actually described the imaginary wines and then said which actor those descriptive traits fit (see truckasaurus's wonderful top five comment), but this one just got right to it. “This is our finest Rob Schneider.” Hahahaha. I honestly cannot read it without laughing. “This is our finest Rob Schneider.”]

Back in the ball! Though I’m pretty sure my “tailored tinker” joke would have won if I’d thought of it in time. Happy weekend, everyone!
I think you’re right Aura. Tinker comment was really good.
TGIF
Also TGIPSYCH!! I just saw a commercial for Psych and it’s coming back to us!! Not soon enough but soon!!
HOLY CRAP YES. This is the best news of the week.
It really is.
YAY I CAN’T WAIT!!! I just love Gus so much!
I was home sick on Wednesday and I watched literally six plus hours of Psych. Is it possible to be too good?
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND GUYS
And I thought getting snubbed by the Golden Globes hurt…
If you need someone to talk to…I can be available.
My first caption contest AND my first editor’s choice? Is this really happening?
Also,
my new schedule has put me at odds with actively checking in on videogum and as a result i don’t get to witness a lot of posts and comments as they happen in real time but even reading the monster’s ball entires just now made me smile quite a bit even while they were devoid of context i still got them and by golly i agree with kelly that they are good
damn i tried to write that entire comment with no punctuation as a personal challenge to myself but two apostrophes still made it in
These are like Supersize Me but for grammar.
Congratulations everyone! Especially saturnian – you really cleaned up!
Weekend weekend it’s the weekend hip hip hip hooray hoorah!
Thanks steph!
Congratulations, you guys! This week was a lot of fun, as usual. Hope you all have a great weekend! I found out that I get to come into work an hour later than usual because of wintry weather we had earlier today. MORE SLEEP!
Happy weekend everyWON! congrats to the BAllerZ!!!
An illustration of my forthcoming weekend:
Happy weekend guys!! I’m staying indoors, snuggling my cat, and drinking way too much! Woohoo!
Has anyone looked into the possibility of printout certificates or ribbons for Monsters’ Ball winners? They could be real conversation starters at the bars!
I feel like a large sash would be pretty eye-catching.
And that’s why you work here and I don’t.
Could this be retroactive? I really, really want an MB sash.
Thanks Mary! Getting a Ball shout-out made eating that delicious burger totally worth it. (I also tried to find a gif of a Walhberg dancing. No dice.)
Also, I think the lowest rated comment was a response to me! My first troll! I feel totally honored.
Have a great weekend, guys!!! I’m volunteering at 8am tomorrow and Sunday, so I’m already in my PJs and planning on going to bed early!! This gif is shockingly accurate.
OF COURSE AND MUCH DESERVED!!!
I like to sing, “despite advanced age I am still just a rat in a cage”

i made my first ball!
but i missed it yesterday!
because i had a date that started at lunch and didn’t end!
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends!
Wow, tell us all the deets!!!
Oh, the classic friends-for-a-long-time turns into flirting across the poker table turns into flirting at bike party turns into a lunch date turns into OHMYGOD. It’s all a blur of cuddles and coffee and carnality. I think my heart is wearing a tiny Ron Swanson red shirt today.
You guys! I made the ball and also got a shout-out from Kelly?!?! I feel like the happiest truck on the planet!!!
