Let's play a game...is this a real headline or not?
$30k in human hair stolen from store
I..what?!? Is it real...
...yep, it is real! What is even funnier is the "caption" from WGNO... "An unbe-weave-able heist!". Really?!?! Think they'll get in trouble for being funny?!? I hope not because I think it is flipping hilarious and it made me click the link to read the story. I know "weaves" (especially real hair) can be pricy. The better the quality, the more expensive. So I can understand (understand, not agree with) why the thieves targeted this type of store. But, like, for real?!? What you gonna do with $30K in stolen hair?!?
Is there an underground market for that kind of stuff? "Hey, kid wanna try some good weave?" Instead of tennis shoes hanging from a power-line, is there a hair brush or straightener dangling to identify where to get your "illegal" locks. Just remember it IS "Hot Hair" *tee hee hee* so buy at your own risk.
I just found it...oddly interesting...

Can't...contain...the....Smart@$$...response...*gah*
You know I am patient...to a point...then something happens and I become the most sarcastic thing known to these parts.
You ever just hear something that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO out there that you can't help but be an @$$ when responding?!? I do...often...and I have to attempt to contain my sarcasm...it rarely works.
If I sent you this picture, with a note that said "can you tell when my puppy woke me up?"...it is pretty self explanatory...right?!!?
I...what?!?! It says "Sleep"...I added a note that should tell you its some sort of sleep chart...there is an OBVIOUS spike at 5AM.

If I sent you this picture, with a note that said "can you tell when my puppy woke me up?"...it is pretty self explanatory...right?!!?
So how would you respond if someone said "I don't know what I am looking at...is that an arrow?"
I...what?!?! It says "Sleep"...I added a note that should tell you its some sort of sleep chart...there is an OBVIOUS spike at 5AM.
So I responded "Yes, 'It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat'". (I was just listening to that song) Apparently that was an @$$hole answer because I got called all kinds of mean things via text.
What made it worse (or better) was said person also responded with "is that something on your phone?" I said sort of. It's a fitness tracker, that is the app it connects to. Which got the response "I don't know what that is...." So I said that brightly colored thing I always wear...then I took a pic of it and sent it. The response was "Oh, look at your wedding ring!!! :)"
Okay A.D.D. there is a VERY bright watch looking thing that is the focal point of the pic and the topic of the previous conversation. So I said "Right...I didn't tell you I had a fitness chip put in my wedding band? Its the latest rage." Again...NOT the right thing to say...more colorful insults...well they were meant as insults all they did was make me laugh harder.
I swear I am a nice person...usually...

What you mean I talk funny...?
In all my 30 odd years I have NEVER thought I had an accent. Apparently I do but it isn't necessarily "Southern" and it isn't necessarily "Yat" but something mixed. If you don't know what "Yat" is...well it is a way we speak in the NOLA area. Its abrasive and most of it makes no sense unless you are from down here. I KNOW there are a bazillion lists of "Words only New Orleanians know" or "Southern Slang" or whatever but in my profession I speak to quite a few peeps from out of town and now I am making my own list (if you don't like it, bite me).
What brought this on? Well I went to the store and my husband said "Are you making groceries?" to which I replied "Yes" without a second thought. He said "the fact that you didn't even flinch at that terminology baffles me." That is just what we say. I was brought up hearing that so it doesn't seem odd to me. Its not like he's from Canada or something...he's from 60 Miles north of NOLA!!!
So here is my list of $hit I say because I from NOLA/Louisiana: (don't shoot me if I spelled it "wrong". There are like a million ways to spell some of dem. Also, different areas have different meanings for some...this is what they mean where I come from)
1.) Makin' Groceries - It means I am grocery shopping or going grocery shopping.
2.) K&B Purple - It's a color that we can only apply to this particular local drug store chain that sold out to Rite Aid like 20 years ago.
3.) Down the Bayou - South, usually anything South of Hwy 90. i.e. Lafourche/Terrebonne/etc. Parishes
4.) Up the Bayou - Please don't make me explain that
5.) Going to The Island - Grand Isle, its all we got, shooosh
6.) Tha Parish - St. Bernard (Chalmette)
7.) Neutral Ground - It's not a median!
8.) Streetcar - It's not a Trolly!
9.) Hurricane - A really strong fruity drink that WILL kick your @$$
10.) A Storm - What most others call a Hurricane i.e. "There's a storm in the Gulf"
11.) The devil's beating his wife - Its raining while the sun is out
12.) Cockroach - A palmetto bug (bug who shall not be named), they effing fly!!!
13.) Doodlebug - Roly Poly, Pill Bug, those little grayish things in your garden that curl up into a ball!
14.) Where'd you go to school? - We are asking about High School NOT college...its a thing...I can't explain it
15.) Grammar School - Primary School/Elementary School - I'm not sure if its a southern thing but people look at me funny when I say Grammar School...
16.) Boude' - Angry/Pout "Don't show me that Boude' face" usually said to a pouting child/baby
17.) Chouchoot - Thingy...usually an unidentifiable thingy...usually said when I can't remember the name of something.
18.) Bebette - a critter...something scary...a small monster...thing
19.) Dressed - This is something for Po-boys/Burgers/Sandwiches...basically its asking or stating you want Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles and Mayo
20.) Po-Boy - The most amazing sandwich ever! Some might compare it to a hoagie or sub but its WAY better and on better bread (French Bread FTW!)
21.) Freesons - Goosebumps, Gooseflesh...a sign that you are cold
22.) Gris-gris - I ain't telling you, then you will know :P
23.) Envie - Craving "I got the envie for some pickles." sometimes said when a woman has baby fever or is um feeling frisky "Ooooo that gurl got the envie"
24.) Peeshnick - like a pinch or flick
25.) Qui C'est q'ca? - What's that?
26.) Toc-toc - Also, known as Popcorn for you uninteresting people *wink*
27.) Trinity - Not the religious thing...this is for cooking (celery, onions and bell pepper)
28.) Arrete toi - Stop! - Said to my puppy recently which got me some stares from the hubs
29.) Minou (Meenew) - Cat
30.) Couillon (Couyon) - idiot
31.) Cayoodle - Mutt
32.) Get Down - As in "You gonna get down at my house?" Like get out the car, go inside
33.) Pass by - Visit someone
34.) Shotgun - It's a house NOT a Weapon, well it is a weapon...it depends on context
35.) Mais, talk about - Obviously....Almost like saying well yea
36.) Come see - Come over here
37.) Bobo - I had no idea this was a down here thing! Its a cut or minor injury.
38.) Brake Tag - Also known as an "Inspection Sticker" but I don't like saying that
39.) Go Cup - apparently in other areas you can't bring your alcoholic beverages out of the establishment...who knew

42.) Sunday Dinner - usually takes place around 2PM at Mimi's (Mamie, Mawmaw, Mamare, etc) house. And it's a BIG meal.
Dats all I got...for now...These are things I have said recently to out of towners and got the blank stare. I love when they try to correct me...like I am not WRONG, or a Couillon (ha!), I just speak differently.

Tall, skinny...and sometimes scruffy
I have very strange taste, I think. I've noticed I have a type...well I knew I had a type but it is PLAINLY evident in my taste in fav characters in TV/Movies. Thankfully I married my "type". He's not SUPER tall but he's taller than me (which I guess isn't saying much) by at least 8 inches so *plfeet*. He's skinny...but fit and a right bottomless pit when it comes to food (it really is fascinating how much he can eat) and on occasion he gets lazy and has some scruff and I like it (see I am a WEIRDO!).
Anyways, watching Lost Girl the other night when half naked Dyson came on screen and I said out loud (I was home alone) "OMG I do have a type!".
But come on...how can you not be a little attracted to this?!?
Seriously though...
Really...
STAHP...
OMG!
Also, I am starting to think I have a thing for British peeps...7 of the 11...what the hell is my deal o_O

I still think its Aliens!
So I saw this video being shared repeatedly in my Facebook feed and I am a bit concerned.
Here is a LINK to the Video. That link isn't working anymore, this this one or this one.
My first thought is ALIENS! Someone call The Doctor &/or Mulder & Scully we are under attack, maybe. I mean it sounds like some weird mix of Close Encounters of the Third Kind with War of the Worlds (2005). Tell me I am not right?!?
Close Encounters:
War of the Worlds:
So of course I was going to reply with my fav Meme
But someone beat me to it on every post...DOH!
Anyways, I read down on the comments on a few of them. Some people were like "Aliens, haha. No...I hear trumpets...it sounds like the '7 Trumpets of Revelation', praise Jesus", others were like "Praise the Lord, he is watching out for us." A few were like "Angelic Trumpets, it is beautiful!" Still others were like "God is good, he sends us such beauty." Thankfully there were some peeps like me saying "Um that is creepy!" or "That isn't beautiful, it is terrifying!"
My first thought was, "wow you are quite the set of religious buffs". My second thought was "Wait...Revelation...doesn't that mean the end of times...?" I might be Catholic by upbringing but I couldn't for the life of me remember the lore about the trumpets so I went to my old friend Google.

"Seven trumpets are sounded, one at a time, to cue apocalyptic events that were seen in the vision of the Revelation of Christ Jesus, by John of Patmos, as written in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament." Source
Hold up...that...that...THAT is the beginning of the Apocalypse! Screw calling The Doctor, someone call the Winchesters! That isn't beautiful!!! Stop saying it is so wonderful! If that noise is the Angelic Trumpets do you know what that means?!!?!? That means we are all f**ked! Sorry but I don't care how "religious" you are...the END OF THE WORLD...the RAPTURE is not something that sounds pleasant...I don't want to experience it! Haven't you people seen "This is the End"?!?!?! I, for one, don't want to get my @$$ kicked by Hermione while trying to avoid a seven headed beast emerging from the ground, hoping I ascend soon...just saying.
So what do you think it is??? The original poster said the sound "comes from the sky"...what on Earth (or not on Earth) could it be?!?!

I thought boys were told NOT to stick IT in "random" holes
Also known as a Glory Hole (I'm not defining that, look it up)...boys are so weird!
I mean I don't have one of those appendages but I can't imagine looking at a random "hole" and being like "I'm gonna stick my d**k in it", just saying. With that said IFLScience posted an article (see here) that made me question reality and weep for the future of humanity (hahaha).
Soooo instead of using your, um, hands at the Hospital/Donor/Doctor's office to get a sample you use this monstrosity, "because you are shy" or whatever. But wouldn't this be just as uncomfortable?
Would it be in a private room? Would it be like a room full of these and a bunch of guys standing around with their pants around their ankles while a machine sucks them off? How do you "clean it" after every use? Can you ensure you don't mix the "samples"? How long before someone gets "stuck" in it because it wont "let go"? Apparently there are different settings you use to control the experience...but wouldn't that be distracting? "OMG so close, wait gotta change the intensity from gentle massage to Hoover with a twisting motion." These are legitimate questions!!! It seems so weird to me but I am a girl so I guess I will never understand...IFLScience hit the nail on the head with the below statement.
"We're not entirely convinced that standing in a room shared by many other people and being milked like a cow is going to help, but their efforts are commendable. Here’s to technology."
~ Best quote EVER!
Seriously though I have this mental image of a bunch of guys standing around getting their jollies...and it isn't for anything medical related. I see this being used in OTHER places...its basically a robotic prostitute. Sorry escorts, looks like you may have some competition. I am assuming nothing can replace a warm body BUT this might be a less guilt inducing alternative. The future is here, people.
Side note, the FB comments were pretty funny!
P.S. Skynet will be harvesting the "samples" to create a race of cybernetic organisms to destroy the human race. Our horniness will be our downfall. I think I just discovered the origin plot for the Terminator.
