First I need to share with you the album will probably have the best title this year. Martha Wainwright’s new one: I Know You’re Married But I’ve Got Feelings, Too. Hilarious! Plus she does a fun cover of Eurythmics’ “Love Is A Stranger” on the US version.

On a more serious, but kinda related thread, Mr. Fabulous is a funny, funny man and I’ve been a fan for quite some time. There has been a lot of personal stuff going on with him of late — divorce, moving in with another woman, that seemingly going through a melt down and finally back to Florida with his ex-wife. Many of his fans have been upset at the lack of details, but I’m one for just letting Mr. Fab figure it all out without added pressure. Mr. Fab, if you end up reading this, take your time. This is your life. You figure out what you need to make you happy, but come back and continue to write in some fashion. Miss you!

I need to give a shout-up to a new read that I discovered whilst listening in to one of Jestertunes’ shows. Dave over at Blogography is a snarky, well-written, travelin’ S.O.B. Plus he pointed out this spoof video of what it means to be a Republican.

Scott is ‘claiming’ he’s coming back from hiatus soon. We’re waiting!

And finally, why — oh why — does anyone watch Fox “News”?

This weekend — not that there are big plans — culminates into a get together at 11:00 PM Sunday night when a few of my friends and fellow fanatics of “The Venture Bros.” are getting together to watch the premiere of the third season. SQUEAL! If you are a fan, definitely check out their T-Shirt Of The Week Club for limited-edition, soon-to-be-hotly-desired, designer tees. Not seen the show? Here’s one of my favorite scenes:

 

 

File under truth is stranger: Here’s a frog with Wolverine-like qualities.

Toons ‘N Tunes posted this Muppet video put to Peaches’ “F*ck The Pain Away”. It’s hilarious and NSFW.

What better way to correct the behavior of a child than to post an embarrassing picture on the Internet.

And finally like many, I was saddened by the news of Harvey Korman’s passing yesterday. Several blogs have made tributes. The Projection Booth posted my favorite Korman scene in Blazing Saddles. Angry Seafood posted several clips including this one which is my favorite from History Of The World, Part 1. In homage, here are the two parts of “Went With The Wind”, the Gone With The Wind spoof from “The Carol Burnett Show”. Safe journey, Harvey.

First some serious stuff. The tornado that hit Windsor, Colorado yesterday may have completely destroyed the home of the sister of one of my best friends. The Red Cross is there helping the community and they are asking for help. If you would like to give a little, click here. I gave a little yesterday. Or as one of the Monkeys said, “Ahhh, I guess cancer makes you generous.” You have no idea.

First up, the New York Times has a blog going with four different musicians, three of which I love. Here is the latest from Rosanne Cash about the development of a song she, Elvis Costello and Kris Kristofferson are writing.

Who would think that a “Match Game” spoof would still be funny after 30 years? Big Daddy over at Bon Jour, Pee Wee posted it.

Have a video camera and love The Weepies? You could win $10,000.

Dazevilla posted this hilarious little picture.

Jami had me tearing up with this story of rescuing a dog that meant more than the world to a young vet.

And finally, Craig created this hilarious picture story of that guy in high school that you hated to like because he was so terrifically popular.

Have a safe Memorial Day Weekend everyone!

Habits can be hard to get back into. I only marked four entries from the blogosphere this week, so here they are. I’ll try to do better next week, Ma.

Disney is all about making money, right? Well, here is a cute pin you can give them money for. It’s Wall•E and his lovely lady sexbot!

Kath posted a very inspirational and personal story about recovering from a broken neck she received as she was being born.

Going to the Summer Olympics in China? Check out the buffet.

And finally, Mr. Fab gives us a close-up look of his own self-pedicure. It’s delicious.
