Mani and Pedi

If you have ever been to a nail salon then you need to watch this. The first 60 seconds are slow but the rest is seriously worth it. Seriously. Then come back and tell me how you liked it.



My nail salon is similar except here is what happens to me:

Pretty Asian Lady - Do you like your nails?

Me - Yes, thank you!

PAL - Do you want a massage?

Me - Ummm, sure. Maybe 5 minutes?

PAL - 10 minute better.

Me - Ummm...ok, sure.

PAL - You want eyebrow wax?

Me - OK. Thanks.

PAL - What about your lip?

Me - Excuse me?

PAL - You want your lip wax?

Me - (awkward pause as I contemplate a service I've never used or thought I needed) Umm...no thanks.

PAL - Are you sure? You have a lot of hair there....


This is why I now spend hours each day inspecting my lip. In case you were wondering.

Anjelah Johnson (comedian in the video) is funny. So is humor-blogs.com. Check it out!!

While I'm a guy and, well, I can't really relate, I only can imagine...and dream. ;) My wife waxes my eyebrows as it is...and doesn't ask me all those questions.

I go to this place across the road from where I live. I went there a few times, teeming with women giving the mani's and pedi's. A few weeks later, I go in and it's now all men. Tiny, demure Asian men. They actually do a much better job, but, like before, I just respond "Yes" to everything they say to me.

This is great. My MIL sends my husband's grandfather to her nail salon for pedis. He really likes them, but since he is 92 he's a bit deaf. I always wish I was a fly on the wall to hear the conversation between a recent immigrant and an old man.

Alice - it is true. And the comedian nails the accent, the experience, etc. Whoops. Sorry about the tacky pun!

Leigh - I know. I have very ticklish feet and flail around a bit while they do their thing. Then suddenly they have a huge Vietnamese conversation and I just know they are talking about what a spaz I am. Bitches.

Unfinished - dude, you should totally do it! I took my husband one time and he managed to get out of there without poking anyone's eye out!

For a different kind of girl - Huh. I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. I like my ladies...

KC - That's funny. I cannot imagine my Grandfather submitting to a pedi. Even with a happy ending.

Syiedah - Seriously?? You say no to silver sparkle??!! WHY would you not want silver sparkle????

And The Winner Is...

I have some very exciting news. For the first time ever the Blog of Bex is giving out an award . Yes, I know. I can feel my heart pounding, too. I will call it the Bite My Ass Award (BMAA) and I'm sure it will be coveted. Now you might be wondering just who will be the lucky recipient. Could it be Diesel, the mastermind of Humor-Blogs and Mattress Police , who - for reasons unknown to me - revamped the scoring system and and reset my score to zero? Nope. This action has actually mysteriously seemed to work in my favor. I'm sure it's temporary. ANYWAY, on to the big news. I hereby give my BMAA to this guy: Handsome little fucker, isn't he? His name is James Jackson, IV and his friends call him Jay. I like to call him Fucktard because I believe that your name should say something about the kind of guy you are. And he's a total fucktard. What, you may wonder, did he do to generate such ire from me? Well I'm so glad you asked. He owns two boutiques in suburban At...

Pervy McPervert strikes again!

When I was a kid I used to make the occasional prank call. But then I turned 13 and decided that it was a fairly retarded way to spend ones time. I've also received a few "heavy breathing" calls in my day. My mom finally bought us a whistle and said that whenever "he" called that we were to blow the whistle as loud as we could into the phone. That worked although I do wish she had specified that before blowing the whistle I should take the receiver away from my head as my ear made this weird ringing noise for days afterward. But it got rid of the pervert. It's a new day, however, and perverts must be looking for new ways to annoy us. Twice today someone has texted a picture to me. I have no idea who he is or what the hell he wants. But he must think that I don't know that sometimes shirtless men squeeze their arms against their chest to give the appearance that they actually have biceps when, in fact, their arms really look like toothpicks that are broke...

Protesting at Funerals: A Look at the Deranged and Demented

I normally like to write about funny things. (At least they are things that I find funny.) They are usually attempts to be funny in a ha-ha kind of way, although sometimes I will throw in something that's funny in a weird way, just to shake things up. But what I want to write about now isn't funny at all. It is shocking and horrific. There was a girl from my home town who was murdered at Auburn University last week. Her name was Lauren Burk and she was 18. She went to our local high school and although I didn't know her many of my friends children did. She's being buried today. Her family is, naturally, heartbroken. It was a random, tragic and violent attack. That's really bad enough. My husband drove by the funeral home yesterday and noticed that there was a small army of Harley Davidson riders holding American flags. They appeared to be guarding the memorial service. It turns out that they were asked to be there to protect the family because a group called the We...
