it started with lance armstrong. it was for a cause…a good cause. suddenly other colors started popping up, everywhere, and representing any possible disaster, situation, or medical malady. I can appreciate the ones whose proceeds helped someone in some way. but now the rubber bracelet has lost its original purpose, and is just a fashion statement. now they have them for sports teams (go big blue!), they have them with goofy little words on them (I (heart) ny), they have them to bring the troops home, to bless the usa, and even just blank rubber bracelets, with nothing on them. it’s overkill, if you ask me. enough already!

have you ever wondered how you can heat your ta-tas and save the world at the same time? well, those genius engineers in japan may have found the perfect solution.
according to this bbc article, this bra is not only supposed to keep you warm with its gel-filled pads you can heat in the microwave, but it is eco-friendly to prevent global warming. see, if you wear this, you won’t have to turn your heat up so high, and your energy costs will be reduced.

take that, victoria!

are these for real?

if so, alleluia! vpl (visible panty lines) and the peek-a-boo thong out of the top of your jeans are eliminated forever! they might see paris, and they may see france, but they won’t see your underpants! and no one can ever accuse you of getting your panties in a bunch, because you’re not wearing any!

you’ll be stuck on these cotton disks that have adhesive on one side, allowing you to attach to them the inside of your pants. slap ’em on and you’re ready to go. what could be easier? there are several patterns to choose from, to suit your every whim, even antipantis with jesus for sundays!

MY BUTT is big
and round like the letter c
and ten thousand lunges
have made it rounder
but not smaller
and that’s just fine.
it’s a space heater
for my side of the bed
it’s my ambassador
to those who walk behind me
it’s a border collie
that herds skinny women
away from the best deals
at clothing sales.
my butt is big
and that’s just fine
and those who might scorn it
are invited to kiss it.
just do it.

while searching online at 3 am for ways to make my inconsiderate loud music-playing neighbor miserable, I discovered some interesting stuff:

a face only a mother could love
just in time for halloween, these cute little devils are sure to scare up your parental insticts.

hey batter, batter, batter
there’s a new opera in the works that retells the nancy kerrigan/tonya harding “why….Why…WHY?” knee incident

give peace a chance (NSFW-not suitable for work)
even people who don’t consider themselves political activists will come together for this new movement. really, when you consider that this country is run by jerk-offs, this is quite appropriate.

happily ever after
I found this story quite by accident, on smithsonian’s site. so cute.

one of bill maher’s new rules this week
“let vikings be vikings. yes, there’s outrage that some minnesota vikings may have gone on a party cruise and then…partied. s’cuse me but what’s the point of getting your ribs crushed every week, if you can’t ocassionally get blown on a boat? besides, these are the minnesota vikings. they can’t always be the ones doing the sucking.”
(note from cath: let’s hope they suck tomorrow, for (e)’s sake.)

fresca now comes in 20-oz. bottles!

yeah, so I’m easily excited. so what?
