Was Santa good to you this year? Or did your little one matter-of-factly tell you that the jig is up, the Santa charade is over, as my niece told her mother thusly: "Mommy, I"m eight. I know how things work." Well then.
It's been a quiet weekend here around the Sweet Tea Castle. Not much to report, really, but I thought I'd share a few little crumbs that fell onto my plate from the bread that we all know as the internet:
Study less, party more. The first thing I do when I get home after work is take Lucy for her evening Glamour Walk. The second thing I do is sort the mail. The Victoria's Secret catalog was in there and I threw it in the trash pile, but the pages slid open and I saw a t-shirt from their "Pink" line, aimed at college-age girls (why grown women--much less college kids--wear the word "PINK" across their asses is a mystery for the ages, as far as I'm concerned) that said "STUDY LESS PARTY MORE." I went to the website for the pic to show you good people and it was not to be found. Fortunately, some studious young lady posted it on her blog for all to enjoy. Her parents must be so proud:
Don't worry that it seems to not be available any longer--you can still order this classy look:
Fat GI. I was reading a heartwarming "returning home from war" story on MSNBC.com, and it had me all soft on the insides, but then I saw this:
Really cute, right? Look at that huge smile, the bear-hug squeeze, the expressions of...who the fuck is that in the background? Holy shit! Are we eating Taliban now??? My god. Is this GI Santa?
Fuck Hitler. In cross-stitch. Ah, cross-stitch, an enjoyable way to pass the time that produces an heirloom that is both meaningful and lovely. The pasttime of ladies of leisure, homemaking enthusiasts, and Bad Ass Mutha Fuckas (BAMFs in internet speak).
Major Alexis Casdagli, a WWII POW held for five goddamn years by Nazis, embroidered "God Save the King" and "Fuck Hitler" in Morse code in several intricate tapestries. The story is beyond fascinating; I highly recommend reading it here. The lesson: Not all BAMFs pack heat in the form of a gun; some are armed with an embroidery hoop and a tapestry needle.
Speaking of needle and thread, you may or may not be surprised to know that there is a website celebrating embroidery (including the Major Casdagli piece mentioned above) called Fuck Yeah Embroidery. Here, someone has chosen to embroider a ridiculous Kanye West Tweet:
Josh Groban: While we're on the subject of Kanye West, here's a little video sent to me from my buddy Bryan, who was dismayed by my inclusion of Josh Groban's version of "O Holy Night" here on Sweet Tea ("Groban belongs with Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, and other pieces of shit," says Bryan). Enjoy.
And the answer to your question is YES! Despite Bryan's criticisms of Josh Groban, I'd still hit it. Totally.
Hope y'all had a great weekend!
