C’mon. You had the same thought the first time you saw the trailer for 300.
I’m Speechless
Okay, so I posted that picture of Kitty on icanhascheezburger.com just because it’s funny. Kitty really can extend her leg at bath time. But someone named Stacey was kind enough to comment on the pic and explain what the heck it means! See this BBC article.
“So far as I’m aware, no other language has anything equivalent to the Icelandic ‘setja upp gestaspjot’, a verbal phrase denoting the action taken by a cat when cleaning itself, with its body curled tightly in a circle and one back leg sticking directly up in the air. Literally it means ‘put up a guest-spear’ and when a cat was seen doing this it was supposed to indicate that visitors would be turning up.”

Thank you, Web 2.0, for making me this much smarter.
Fame at Last
Hey everybody, Kitty Carlisle is a rockstar! She made the cover of “I Can Has Cheezburger!” Hooray!
Now go vote for her picture.
In Memoriam: Betty Hutton, 1921-2007
What a crazy lady she was.
I’m sure y’all seen this but…
I don’t really like to diss any of the dems, but I did have to chortle a bit when I heard Hilary do her “Daisy Mae meets Rex Harrison” on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. So if you’re the 99th person out of 100 who hasn’t heard this, just sit back and listen to the soothing Southern drawl of Sen. Clinton.
[I think the Daisy Mae thing is mean. She’s more like Rosiland Russell visiting Peckerwood in Auntie Mame.]
