Excuse me, I’m going to the store to buy: one iPad, one New Yorker app, one mustache.

He wanted “Venus in Furs” to be about his son. Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather, son.

Well, we all know where the money from that settlement went — straight into the coffers of Amnesty International! Amirite?

Dumber than choosing Jonathan Franzen for her book club again? I doubt it! I just Oprah-fied my adult diaper. YOU DECIDE WHAT THAT MEANS!

I wonder what criteria one uses to rate Grandma? Firmness? Clarity of grandmotherly advice? Pies? I give the above grandma six out of ten Werther’s Originals.

Rap OR Salad?

Is there a way to combine weddings, hoarding, extreme plastic surgery, midget small-business owners and interventions? (shoots self)

“Pee to Be You and Me” #evenmoretopicaljokes

Debbie Thompson of Munster, IN reacts to Oprah’s final show, in which Oprah, Gayle, and Sarah Palin vajazzle one another while Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban duet on Neil Diamond’s “America,” seven tons of MAC lipstick are airlifted onto an Ethiopian AIDS ward, and Dale Chihuly builds, to scale, a model of the Large Hadron Collider out of sweet Belgian chocolate.

Waaaaah, this just reminds me I can’t go to Matador 21. For the children: it’s this festival with a lot of bands that were really hot on the Lawrence Welk show.

“I got my dick in your hot dog bun.” Somehow, Shaggy 2 Dope managed to channel the Hipster Grifter while saying something markedly less clever. Fucking sex metaphors, how do they work?
