Whatchu know bout me?

I must say… I subscribe to lots of shit. I mean, lots of stuff. And sometimes I get some “band” things in there. If you know me, you know I don’t do popular music as a general rule. And if that popular music is tagged “hip-hop”, I’m usually even less enthused. There are exceptions, but mainly they have to be pretty theatrical to get my attention. What can I say, except that I’m getting old and that I’m a musical theatre fag?

But tonight, I about peed my pants seeing this new video from Michael’s RSS feed. At the risk of making Just Giblets an entirely You Tube blog, I would like to introduce you to Lil Mama and her lovely creation: Lip Gloss.

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.”
