tuition well spent…and a race around the world

The Boy

20 Jun

what exactly ARE they teaching my son in school? i shell out $12,000 a year for him to bring THIS home to me…

i have seen this problem before…thank you, SUPERBAD…

anyone want to take a guess as to what it’s really SUPPOSED to be???

on fridays my friends and i have what’s known around here as “google search fridays” where we LAUGH and CRY at the funniest and sickest and saddest search terms that got people to this site. two most popular search terms to get people to alimartell.com…what would you think? ali martell blog? cheaper than therapy? no. #1 is Chad Michael Murray. what? and #2 is…WAIT FOR IT. Dawn and Ash Pokemon Fucking. pokemon porn people!

anyway, sometime this week, there was a search for “Celebs to run the amazing race with Dwight Shrute” and i thought…awesome! how awesome would Dwight Shrute be to run the race with??!?!?

so, after much deliberation…the top 5 tv characters i’d like to run The Amazing Race with are, in no particular order…

1) John Locke – LOST (does this need any sort of explanation. John Locke is the SHIT)

2) GOB Bluth – Arrested Development (we might lose. but we’d always have magic)

3) Peter Petrelli – Heroes (um. dude. he is by far my most favorite of the Heroes heroes. and the most easy on the eyes. take that, Hayden Panettiere)

4) Barney – How I Met Your Mother (sure we’d have to SUIT UP…but a race around the world with ‘Swarley’ would be legen….wait for it…dary.

5) Sydney Bristow – Alias (she kicks ass. hands down. and it helps that she’s totally HOT)

what about you??

    hmm.. well, what did Josh say they were?

    I’m stretching for a guess: how about four colored markers? No? ok, four one-eyed people in sleeping bags?

    One of my all-time favourite searches to my site was for “hot boobs spraying milk”.

    Heh.

    I think Dwight Shrute would be a pretty awesome companion on the amazing race.

    I have no freakin’ idea what Josh’s drawing is supposed to be. All I can think of is “one-eyed trouser snake.”

    LMFAO.

    I would say Mike Rowe, but I’m afraid he’d pontificate my ass to death.

    That much in tuition? I think my bank account just had a heart attack and died too.

    My biggest search is Jen Lancaster. Which is weird because if you’re searching for Jen Lancaster, wouldn’t you go to HER site?

    I also get chubby feet a lot.

    I would want to do The Amazing Race with Sawyer. Or Lorelai from The Gilmore Girls. Just for the banter.

    One-eyed snakes. Oh wait, ewww.

    Good list. I agree with all of them, but I would replace John Locke with Zac Braff. For the soul reason that he is dreamy.

    My number one search is wetting the bed.

    I have a few odd searches that routinely find me, like “how to turn girlfriend purple” but my favorite was “where’s the party at bitches?” I love that.

    Also, I agree about Peter Petrelli although I wouldn’t take Milo. I’d want my Amazing Race partner to focus on the game and not teenagers.

    Kim Bauer – 24
    Claire Bennet – Heroes
    Mary Camden – 7th Heaven
    Phoebe Halliwell – Charmed
    Kate Austen – Lost

    I don’t think we’d win… but race be damned…

    2. Big tits stupid girls
    3. If it smells like chicken keep on licken’
    4. Boob alphabet
    5. I hate my skin.

    Yesterday someone came to my blog with the term :”the bathrooms in hell smell like this”

    Where are these freaks from?

    I’d say Kate Austen, maybe Juliette from Lost as well, Barney (fo schiz), Elle (Kristen Bell) from Heroes or maybe even Veronica Mars..and ack! I’m a TV addict and can’t even come up with a fifth! Does Phil from TAR count? Because I’d totally take him any day!

    As for your son, those look like those test tube shots the barmaids carry around and try to cram down your throat…

    Also, I just checked and once again I missed the Amazing Race deadline — it was three weeks ago, AAARRRRGH! Though my mom made me swear Scott and I would never go on it: “I like Scott too much to lose him!” she says. Thanks, Mom.

    I have corrected the situation.

    And I’m super excited to text back and forth making fun of people.

    If Mike Rowe is already taken I’d totally want Bear Grylls from Man vs Wild. He’s hot, he gets naked at random times, and obviously has some mad survival skills.
