Kasey & Vienna...I Have To Go There

Okay, the intention of my blog is NEVER to be mean, cruel, or judgmental, but sometimes....well, I'm not above it.  There are certain things that just have to be laughed at, and if you watched last night's episode of Bachelor Pad, you already know because you've already laughed at this.

Okay, what do you get when you combine this fine fellow

with this dazzling young lady?

Fraggle Rock rocked the most, yes?

Well, you definitely get this - especially when you know Muppets and Fraggles love a good mushy musical opportunity.  What can I say?  Haters gonna hate.  And I am a def Kasienna hater.

And apparently, so is Kirk...and the rest of the Bachelor Pad contestants.  High-larious.  And this is just one reason why Kirk is the hottest guy on the show.

Oh, Anderson Cooper...

As someone who works in television media, I can tell you that news can be really tough - more often than not there are terrible stories to report on and it can become a gray and dreary world if you constantly focus on the negative. 

Every now and again, though, there are stories that are so utterly ridiculous that you can't help but shake your head and laugh, and one of the most recent stories in the headlines absolutely fit the bill!  Have you heard the one about Gerard Depardieu's public urination on a plane?  I mean, really???

Now, imagine that your program chooses to cover this sort of news and you are the unlucky victim who has to report on it - I can only imagine how difficult that would be, and that is the purpose of today's post.  Anderson Cooper, whom I adore, had to perform the light-hearted humor segment, The Ridiculist, on his show Anderson 360, and the topic of the day was none other than Gerard Depardieu.

Please sit back and enjoy Anderson absolutely losing it for the first time in his career over the absolutely ridiculous puns (and boy were there ever a lot of puns) and this absolutely ridiculous situation.  I'm so glad that he's got a new daytime show coming on in September on ABC - down to earth, adorable, and straight up hilarious in this video - cue the giggles!

Happy Weekend, everyone!

The Gang's All Here

Sorry for the delay in checking in, Peeps, but this week has been a full one at the Casa de Chicken Wing.  You see, my sweet friends (whom I'm indebted to for the rest of my life for introducing me to and setting me up on a blind date with Comanche) went to the beach and were going to board their sweet dog, Lily.  I was having none of that, because - let's face it.  When it comes to dogs, there is always a party going on over here.

CiCi, MuChi, Wilkie, and Lily have been conducting their own three-ring circus, and it's been quite entertaining, to say the least.  It's been a large amount of time since I've witnessed wrestling to rival these four, and so I had to take a little video to show you the hilarity that has been going down on a daily basis this week.

Okay, let me set up the backstory here, so the video will make a little bit more sense.  First, you have the wild child in my house, Wilkie.  While I absolutely love the stuffing out of him, he is the red-headed stepchild of the family because he has the attention span of a gnat, and he has what I call Dory-syndrome (you know, Dory, from Finding Nemo).  Like his fishy counterpart, he can be scolded or warned not to do something, and after a half-a-second rebound rate, he's right back to doing the same.exact.thing.  It's a good thing he's cute, because the only way I could tolerate that behavior for a long stretch of time is if Ellen Degeneres was around - what?  She's funny.

Next, you have CiCi, who has to decide whether she really, really, really wants to play or not.  Why, you ask?  Because Wilkie beats the crap out of her.  I don't know if he just dials in to the fact that she's a pomeranian, too, but she is the target of his playtime energy bursts 99.9% of the time.

Then, there's Lily, the new girl in town.  She began her interaction with the others as the one who would only join in the game once the others turned their backs.  Now, she's gotten her confidence up and she's ready to come off the sidelines!  (She's the light-colored dog in the video).

Finally, you have The Mooch.  He is the cutest darn thing, but he takes MAJOR issue to what he considers to be violence.  I mean, if someone hugs me too hard, or if Comanche and I are dancing in the living room and he dips me to prove that he could hold his own on one of my favorite dancing shows, MuChi flips his lid.  He automatically assumes that I'm hurt and he must express his despair.  Throughout this video, you will hear crying.  That's my son.  The rest of them are having a ball, and he's boo-hooing, "Can't we all just get alooong?!?!?"

So, enjoy, peeps - too much cute for one house, right?  I know you wish you were my roommate!



Absolutely adorable, right? Please excuse the excess of bottles on my coffee table waiting to be refilled by the Brita. Also, if you could look past the extreme mess and disarray - it turns out that four puppies want to play with all of the toys all of the time. (Who am I kidding - they all do that!)

Until next time,

Prepare To Laugh...And Be Uncomfortable

So, I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, there were certain people who were awesome to me, musically speaking.  One of those people who had the hits I loved to hear?

THIS GUY!

Yes, people, I love George Michael's songs, and I am not ashamed to say it!  So, imagine my delight when a musical sensation all of a sudden becomes hysterically funny and uncomfortable at the same time.  Yes, it can be done.  I came across this video today and I was literally tearing up I was laughing so hard.  I couldn't help but wonder what I would do if this guy randomly showed up with his mad sax skills and busted out some "Careless Whisper" circa 1984 (which may or may not be the year I was hatched born).

Check it out, y'all, and get your laugh on this Thursday morning!

Absolutely hilarious!  Happy Day!

Until next time,

Fun For Friday!

Okay, so my cousin posted the link to this video today and I thought it was equal parts adorable and hilarious and I wanted to share it with all of you!  As you probably have been able to deduce by the obsession I have with my furbabies, I believe dogs make the world a better place.  There is no better feeling than coming home and having furry creatures bark, wag their tails, and spin in circles - just because you came home!

Meet Carrie the golden retriever from Chile! She is a sassy little thing - look at those hips go! I think that Dancing With The Stars or So You Think You Can Dance should totally have her and her person, Jose, on their shows as special guests! She is obviously a very smart, spirited, and talented girl!

Happy Friday, everyone!!!

Until next time,

A Smile Or Two

Okay, I don't know about y'all but I love music.  I also love to laugh.  When those two things are combined, I am one happy Chicken Wing.  In case you're still feeling like you haven't made it over the mid-week hump, here are the two masters of musical hilarity, Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon, with not just The History of Rap, but also with The History of Rap - The Sequel.  Pure awesome.

Happy Weekend (& Uber Cute Video)!

Source

Here's a short post to start your weekend off right!  I hope you all experience at least one memory this weekend that makes you smile and I hope we all can make at least one friend as loyal and helpful as this next guy.

This video makes me smile real big because my Aunt J's Jack Russell is also named Jesse, and he's been a part of the family for as long as I can remember.  Granted, Aunt J's Jesse might get a complex from watching this video, but we love our little people food tester just the same!

Enjoy everyone, and if the maker of this video, "Jesse's person," would like to come and train my little fur monsters, I would totally be down with that!

Why Wednesday Is My Favorite Weekday

Okay, for some reason, it occurred to me that I haven't really expressed my true feelings about something.  You know how (typically, many times) you get kicked in the butt and filled with regret when you realize that you never expressed love or appreciation for someone, somewhere, or something?

Well, I try to always love with my heart (and mouth) wide open - whoa...that sounded wayyyy dirtier than I ever anticipated.  By that, I mean I always try to TELL PEOPLE/THINGS that I love them.  We're talking about verbalizing here, peeps, not anything else.

Anywho, now that I've completely derailed this train, I am hoping to bring you all back by saying that there is one reason, and one reason only that Wednesday is my favorite weekday.


LOVE these characters so, so much!



Enter Modern Family, aka the funniest show on television.

Now, I've been an uber dedicated MF fan since the very beginning.  You see, one of the perks of working as the research girl for a TV station is that I get to watch the pilots of new shows WAY before you do.  Jealous?  In most cases, you should be, so it's completely understandable. Modern Family is one of the gems that I was able to preview early on, and I created estimates that showed this show swinging for the fences as far as ratings go.  In fact, multiple people in my office told me I was crazy based on the synopsis of the show....that is, until they watched the first episode.  The very next day, we were all hysterically laughing-until-you're-crying about the shenanigans that took place.  Well done, Chicken Wing, way to be a trailblazer.

I mean, you are CUCKOO with a capital Cocoa Puffs if you don't like this show.  Everyone can relate to at least one character, and it is literally one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.  It makes me belly laugh at least once an episode, and I currently have Season 1 on DVD.  Yeah, it's that good.

So, I just wanted to share this love of Modern Family with you, because tomorrow is Wednesday, which is my favorite weekday.  (Clearly, I can't place more excitement on Wednesday than on the weekend, because we just shouldn't kid ourselves).

In case you'd like a little taste of the good stuff, this is last week's episode, "Good Cop Bad Dog," which had me crying!

Hope you all start setting your TiVo's right away and make your own weeks that much better!  If you ever get the chance to meet anyone on Modern Family, tell em the Chicken Wing sent you!
Until next time,

A Milestone Reached

Well, Peeps, a milestone occurred that I absolutely cannot believe is even humanly possible.  Little Brother Chicken Wing had a big birthday recently (and shame on me for taking so long to blog about it) - that's right, folks, my baby brother turned TWENTY-ONE.

I had a bit of a hard time accepting that for a number of reasons.  Primarily, the fact that he could physically be twenty-one years old means that I have to be a fair share older than that, and who really likes to think about that, anyways?

This also meant that he is continually growing up, and I don't actually know why I am surprised by that - he's kinda sorta been working on that one his entire life.  Either way, whenever there is a milestone for him like a twenty-first birthday, it's just a harsh reminder that he's not a little boy anymore.

What was pretty darn cool, however, was that my little bro wanted to live out his dream of being able to order a beverage in a restaurant...and he wanted to hang out with his big sisters while doing it.  I couldn't believe he actually wanted us to be a part of his big night, but he did.  We had a great time, and had some major laughs, and Little Brother Chicken Wing had a night of nights.


Actual photo of the Chicken Wing sibs on the big night!

So, here's to you, Little Brother Chicken Wing, on your twenty-first birthday.  Thanks for being the best little brother ever, and thanks for thinking of your big sisters at an age where hanging with your family isn't necessarily the "cool" thing to do.  We love you, and you're a grown up now!  :)

Until next time,

Okay, I'll Play - Blogger ABCs!

I heart blogs.  A lot.  Clearly, you're reading the one I heart the very most right now.  But I also heart other people's blogs.  I read a lot of them, and for many different reasons. 

Some are to make me laugh because the authors are hilarious.  Some are to make me feel better, because it's nice to know that someone else is going through the same situations you are (that relatability factor is HUGE in blogging).  Some are to glean inspiration and motivation (I am not even joking when I say that some of the bloggers I follow are the craftiest people ever born).

Every now and again, something will grace the pages of multiple blogs and I love reading the responses.  One that I've seen floating around for awhile now is the Blogger ABCs, in which you get to learn more about the blogger.  I've literally seen like 5 of my favorite bloggers participate THIS WEEK.  So, to the peer pressure I say, "Okay, I'll play!"

Here goes nothing:

A-Age:  26


B-Bed Size:  Queen


C-Chore You Hate:  Vacumming and dusting!


D-Dogs?  Um, heck to the yes!  Have you seen my adorable furry monsters?!?!  If not, you're severely missing out and need to click the "Meet the Furbabies" link above!


E-Essential Start To Your Day:  Taking the dogs outside.  You know, unless I'd like to clean up pee or the alternative.  (The answer is always 'no thanks' there).  As far as my day, though, it's either an ice cold Dr. Pepper or a hot cup of coffee from my Keurig.  (Just so you know, Keurig = love).


F-Favorite Color:  Fuschia, fo sho!


G-Gold Or Silver:  Both!!!!


H-Height:  5’6.5″


I-Instruments You Play:  The triangle or the tamborine.  Juuust kidding.  I usually prefer my God-given instrument.  When I sing, I have the voice of an angel. It's like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.  (Really kidding now. I've won multiple Grammys while alone in my car though, and that's on the real).


J-Job Title:  Research & Promotions Coordinator / Second Shooter Photographer / Event Planner / Blogger (Soooo, yeah.  I work.  A lot.)


K-Kids:  Not yet, but maybe someday.


L-Live:  Virginia, y'all!


M-Mom’s Name:  Dee (While most of you know me, a lot of you don't and I try to protect the innocent around here.  That's her nickname, and we'll just leave it at that!)


N-Nickname:  Oh geez, I've got nicknames for days.  Does that mean that people hate my real name?  Hmm, must ponder that.  Here we go:  Chicken Wing (duh!), Speedy, TV Barbie, Las Rapidas, KK (even though there are no "k's" in my name, Cate, Catie, Sugar, Shoog, Blondie, Cookie, Kitty, Kitten, Little One...that's all I can think of right now, but for crying out loud, that's a lot!


O-Overnight Hospital Stays:  I'm assuming I stayed overnight when I was born, but other than that, I've been really lucky! 


P-Pet Peeve:  Putting dirty dishes in the sink when the dishwasher is RIGHT THERE.  I also get majorly annoyed with people who interrupt you and talk over you in conversation.  Oh, and people who are mean just to be mean.  Get over yourselves and talk to Jesus.


Q-Quote From A Movie:  “You better check yourself before you wreck yourself.”  Awesome!  (Go see "Due Date" for some inappropriate fun!)  Also, "You know why!" (Please see my last post if you missed it - hilarious!)


R-Right Or Left-Handed?  Right!


S-Siblings:  One younger sister, and then one brother, who is the baby of the family


T-Time You Wake Up:  The alarm is set for 6:45am.  When I actually get up, the snooze button has been hit numerous times, and it's usually 7:00am or 7:10am.  Whoops.


U-Underwear:  I have to admit that I have yet to understand this question, but I can officially say:  Yes, I wear them.


V-Vegetable You Dislike:  Not a fan of beets, brussel sprouts, or squash (even though it's better than the other two).


W-What Makes You Run Late?  Haha, my DNA!  Seriously, a better question would be what doesn't make me run late?


X-X-Rays You’ve Had Done:  Dental X-Rays, of course, and then I also had X-Rays done on my back when I had a pretty bad cheerleading injury in high school.  Other than that, I've been exceptionally lucky!


Y-Yummy Food You Make:  I make a pretty good meatloaf, but I think my specialties are my homemade macaroni and cheese, spinach and artichoke dip, buffalo chicken dip, and cream cheese dip!  I get requests for those four!  I'm good with baking and with pasta!  LOL!


Z-Zoo, Favorite animal:  I would have to say the otters.  Those things are SO.DARN.CUTE.  If the zoo in question also has a water situation (like Sea World), I would also throw in dolphins and beluga whales!


I would LOVE to hear your answers to some of these, so comment me in some form!


Until next time,

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Top o' the mornin' to you, Peeps!  Happy Green Day, aka Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I hope that everyone is having a fantastic morning and that you haven't been pinched too many times today.  Someone in my office has upgraded to, "If you're not wearing green, I will punch you in the face."

Really?  R e a l l y ? 

Either way, that is equal parts hilarious and scary, so I decided that I needed to take drastic measures since I 1) forgot to wear green and 2) have to protect the goods. 

True Life:  I Like My Face.

Green chip clip that I happened to have at my desk?  That'll do. Yes, I will be rocking this bad boy for the rest of the day. Face, you are welcome.

I know so many people who LURVE them some St. Patty's Day, so I wanted to deliver some goodness for those particular Peeps.  You can download some awesome FREE printables by clicking here, here, oh, and here.  SO cute for a St. Patrick's Day soiree!

I also have resolved this year to revel in every moment that I can make someone feel special.  For Comanche and his family, that meant homemade St. Patty's Day cards!  I've already mailed the ones to his family, so I can't show you those, but I can show you the cute little card that I made for my man last night.

Front.  I know you're jealous of my mad stapling skills.  (What?  I thought men liked handy women.)

Pardon the blur - I can't let you read the sweet part!

(Is it messed up that you all are seeing this before he has? Probably, but you should now know how much I love you.)  Oh, and I mean what I said in my card to him on the real - because I loooooove me some Lucky Charms!  Need photo evidence of this love affair?  I thought you might:

Cereal for dinner?  That miiiight have just happened.

Anyways, I hope you all relish in the memories of green beers gone by and maybe go experience that fantastic part of this great holiday again!  I hope you count your blessings - I know I'm feeling extra lucky this year!  Happy Day to you all, and here's to us all finding our treasure at the end of the rainbow!

Until next time,

I'm Proud To Be An American....Idol Fan?

Okay, so I know you've all been tuning in even if you promised yourself that Simon Cowell's last season would be your last season.

If that's how you felt, you're not alone.  I, too, said that I was done with Idol and that it could never been the same.

Well, Peeps, if you've been watching at all this season, you know that we were all wrong.  I'm actually digging this season of Idol and I absolutely love the freshness that Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez have brought to the judges panel.

Okay, let's start by looking at my favorite parts of the show so far.

We want YOU, Dawg!

Randy, Randy, Randy.  I've always liked you.  You actually have your hands very much in the music industry, and I agree with what you're saying eight times out of ten, which I wouldn't call too shabby.  You seem to be one of the most level-headed, and I think it's important to keep someone on the panel who has been along for the ride.  Thank you for delivering that for me.

"Owwwwww" (in a high-pitched voice)

Steven Tyler, you are a funny little man.  Not to mention, you are absolutely hysterical, in my opinion!  From the "Yo, dude, are those Tevas?" comment to the random howls and screams, thank you for making me laugh episode after episode.  Just when I thought you were all fun and games (complete with potty mouth and very strange random sayings), you go and do this to me:



Source

It completely caught me off guard to see you be so incredibly sweet to her and her mother, but it made me like you that much more. In fact, I could totally see why so many ladies find you attractive in that moment.

Remember, her love don't cost a thing.

Okay, first of all, I can honestly say that I never realized just how BEAUTIFUL Jennifer Lopez is until she became a judge on American Idol.  She'd always been one of those hit-or-miss ladies for me - sometimes she looked amazing. Other times, I just didn't get it.

I think Jennifer has added a lot to the show so far - she seems to know what she's talking about, she can make a coherent sentence (unlike another lady judge we all used to know and love), and she still has the kind heart that is needed in a harsh judgment-filled world.  She seems to really own the knowledge that while you have to deliver criticism, you still have people's dreams in your hands.  And, she's pretty funny, too. 

I was hardly expecting the personality that I have gotten from both Steven Tyler and J.Lo, but I would have to say that I love it!  Ryan Seacrest is still doing a great job playing host (and I imagine he will get picked on less this season).  The other great thing that hasn't changed about this show is that there are always more talented people popping up each year.  I've been amazed at the fifteen-year-old talent that has shown up this season.  I'm excited to see how it all turns out!

Hooray for a classic realty television show getting revamped!  For now, American Idol, you've still got a fan in me.  Congratulations.

Until next time,

Doing Things I've Never Done

With all the changes I've been through this year, I've discovered that I actually had a very surprising reaction to change - I actually am learning how to roll with it.  Not only am I learning to roll with it, but I'm even more open to new ideas and new experiences than I've ever been before.

Couple that notion with people who are actually listening when you speak and putting your thoughts into action, and you've got yourself a new way of looking at the world.

You'd like an example of this?  Guess what I'm doing tonight.  No seriously.  Make my day, punk.

I'll give you a few hints.  Take a look at the following pictures and you might get a better idea of what's going down.

You've probably been able to deduce by now that I am, in fact, camping tonight.  Outside.  In the dark.  When it's going to get down to the low 30's.  When there will be "patches of frost."  In a tent.  That is going to happen.

Ordinarily, folks would say, "Well, Chicken Wing, why would you be so shocked that you're going camping?"

Because Chicken Wing + camping =

Hot - Yes.  Camper - No.

So, wish me luck, Peeps.  I'll be sure to update you on how this goes.  Technically, this was my idea.  I was the one who said, "I think I'd like to go camping sometime."  Little did I know that I would be presented with a tent, sleeping bags, folding bag chairs, and the promise of a campfire and s'mores.

Moral of this story:  Be careful what you wish for.

Just for fun, and because it's Friday, I will leave you with a video that will most likely be occurring again tonight - my beloved Jessica Simpson and her then-husband, Nick Lachey....camping.  It's one of my favorites of the Newlyweds episodes (yes, I own all three seasons on DVD.  Don't hate.).  It's also a wee bit long, but definitely worth the time if you have it.

Do The People At Shoebox Know Me?

I mean seriously...

I am pretty sure that I need to buy this, and I felt the need to share.  This is also available at Hallmark stores, which is where I first saw it, loved it, and collapsed into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.  Momma Chicken Wing and Little Sister Chicken Wing lost it and said, "I can't believe I haven't heard you say that before."

I love it when you find little bits of goodness in unexpected places!

Until next time,

Super Bowl 2010

Last night was the coveted "Night of All Nights" for the football lovers in the world. The Chicken Wings celebrated with Little Sister Chicken Wing and some friends at the Casa de Chicken Wing, and it was a good time - low key and relaxed.

This came after a little sledding adventure - not the most fun I've ever had. While I had so much fun hanging out with my friends, I got a little injured along the way. First, I got hit in the mouth with a ball of ice (thank you, Little Sister Chicken Wing, for having terrible aim). After dealing with swelling and a little bleeding, I dusted myself off and got back to it. Then, on a trip down the monster hill (all of which was covered in mostly ice at this point), I majorly jammed my pointer finger - OUCH to the MAX!!!! Now, I'm rocking a crazy-swollen and purple finger!!!

So, the typing is quite a bit slower, that's for sure!!! Anyways, back to the Big Game! The New Orleans Saints took home the much-needed victory! Louisiana needed a win, and I'm really glad they got it!

My favorite part of the Superbowl (unless my team is playing) is watching the usually hilarious ads that come on during the game. In case you missed them, I've included my favorites here!

Thank you, Doritos and E-Trade, for stepping up and being hilarious this year!

What's That? You Needed A Laugh?

Okay, done and done. Without further ado, things that should make you laugh. If you aren't laughing by the end of this post, have someone drive you to the emergency room because you don't have a pulse.

Chicken Wing Movie Review: The Hangover

Okay, in all seriousness, this movie can be summed up in five words.


1. FUNNIEST
2. MOVIE
3. I'VE
4. EVER
5. SEEN

Yeah, that pretty much covers it. The language was vulgar (which is typical), there was nudity (who's really surprised anymore?), but the overall package should easily add up to the most hilarious movie of the summer. What a knee-slapper!

Oh, and hopefully this was NOT based on a true story! HAHA!

So, my advice: If you're in need of a laugh and don't get offended easily, get your behinds to the theaters and go check out "The Hangover." I think you will find that it's worth the money!

Until next time,
Chicken Wing
