Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In honor of St. Patty's Day, I'm posting one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time:

Egrish and other fun things

The other day, Danielle and I discovered the amazingness which is www.engrish.com. I know it's kinda mean, but basically its a site where people send in their pictures of English-gone-wrong in Asian countries.

Funny samples:













Also, today Danielle spent about 2 hours mastering Fall Out Boy Trail, which is Oregon Trail except you're on tour around the US (oxen and all). It was pretty funny and they even had their own little computerized guitar hero.

an A-Ha! moment

Danielle shared this with me, and it was so funny that I had to share it with everyone else.

They change the lyrics of the song so that it's literally what's happening in the video. It's pretty hilarious.

Study Break

Sometimes Danielle and I will both be on our laptops in different rooms of our house (and sometimes in the same room), and we'll talk on gmail messenger.  it's hilarious.  we have some of our best conversations on there. Usually we're talking about really dumb stuff, like funny things our mom says, or things that our neighbors are doing in their kitchen that we can see through the window, but we always end up hysterically laughing.  And then my mom is like, "what is so funny?" and I'll answer, "I'm laughing at my information for my test tomorrow," and Danielle will say, "This paper I'm writing is hilarious."  Neither of those makes sense, but our mom doesn't pay any attention to what we say anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

We even have a nickname for if we're talking about our mom, like telling a funny story about her, and she's in the room.  We call her Red Pen. It makes no sense and we should probably call her a normal name like Shirley or something, but Red Pen has old origins, so we just stick with that.

LOST tonight.  Update and theories tomorrow afternoon or night, because I have a test tomorrow so I won't be able to watch it in the morning or afternoon.

Wing Bowl 17

Finally I'm getting around to talking about the Wing Bowl on Friday.  

I stayed over Carole's house on Thursday night and we had gone out to poker the night before, so when 3AM rolled around and it was time for us to get up, we were both pretty much useless.  We went to Wawa to pick up breakfast sandwiches only to find out that they don't have breakfast sandwiches at 3AM.  Fortunately the kind man behind the deli counter made them for us anyway.  We got to Rob's house around 4, and pre-gamed there for a little while until 5ish when Jen (Rob's girlfriend who wasn't actually going to the wing bowl) drove us down to Wachovia Stadium.

If you don't know what exactly the Wing Bowl is, I'm going to take a moment to explain it:

The Wing Bowl began 17 years ago, when some person who was probably white trash decided that it would be a good idea to start a hot wing eating contest. They used to let both amateur and professional eaters alike join the contest, but this year they made it open to only amateur eaters.  To enter the contest, a person would either have to win a small hot wing eating contest at a local bar, or they would have to call in to the radio station and have some crazy food thing, such as eating 4 hoagies in 10 minutes, approved by the radio staff.  The winner gets a car and maybe some other stuff. I don't really know.  But anyway, the Bowl starts at 6AM, but before the actual contest begins, they have a parade of sorts, where each participant has their own little entourage.  Each of the contestants is supported by a local strip club, so there are a lot of strippers there.  A lot.  Beer goes on sale at 7AM, although most people are already crocked by that time.  The audience is about 80% male, and the females in the crowd are cheered for flashing the crowd (if they choose to do so. i didn't), and usually the camera men will put them up on the big screen.  When the contest starts it's two 14 minute rounds with a break in between to count the wings, and then a 2 minute round for the finalists.  

This year, 4 people puked.  It was quite gross.  The whole thing was pretty gross but amazingly fun.  I will definitely go again next year if I can.  It was crazy.  And the lawyers from Boston who were two rows behind us had this rubber chicken that made this noise that sounded like it was dying.  Carole was very very amused and they gave it to her.  Needless to say, she played with it the entire way home and bothered everyone who looked like they were on their way to work (it was 9AM).  It was so much fun though.

Only in Philadelphia would this disgusting gluttony be displayed.  Well, maybe they would have it at another city, but I'm pretty sure that the entire stadium wouldn't sell out in 10 minutes like it did for this (did I tell you that we had front row seats too?), and I'm pretty sure that people wouldn't come out at 5AM to see people vomit chicken wings.

.....In other news.....

Emily, Danielle and I just watched Gossip Girl. It was frickin amazing.  We screamed twice.  I can't believe that Dan is sleeping with that bitchy teacher lady.  I hate her.  And I hate that Dan was jumping in the sack with her right after Serena broke up with him.  What a douche bag.  I hope she gets knocked up and i hope the school finds out about it and sends her to jail where she belongs.  

I think we were all actually rooting for Blair and her conniving ways the entire time.  It was so ridiculous that a teacher would be meeting up with her students outside of the classroom like that anyway, even without a relationship.  And that bitch lied to Serena and said that she had a meeting to get to, when really she was just going to see Dan at that diner place.  She deserves everything that's coming to her.
