Watch Out For the Pipe Wrench...

Calling all kids from the 80's! Have you seen this video? Some guy (with TONS of time on his hands) took the A-ha video 'Take On Me' and changed the lyrics to what is literally happening. It's pretty funny....



I am now going into the attic to dig up my boy toy belt, lace gloves, multiple neon socks to wear with black heels. I am going down...not in a Blaze of Glory but rather a Blaze of Nostalgia. Ah, the 80's.

Back then if you had told me that America would befriend Russia, my brother would go to Moscow where he would study and meet his future wife, well, I probably would have laughed. And now we're not friends with Russia again. Go figure.

The totally tubular feed to the humor-blogs site is, like, so totally here!

That's great! And now I'll go home and find my jelly bracelets and little plastic charms of hair dryers and toothbrushes. Remember those? I can't bring myself to give them to my daughter just yet.

That white painted hand reaching out of the book is as creepy as hell. As HELL.

I really do miss the days of spandex and leg warmers!

You know, it was quite the fuel for a young adolescent boy to be able to watch all the girls walking around in spandex..

Somehow, the world just felt right when the cute ones walked by!

Great article Bex!

Loved that video in the '80s, and this was just a riot! Time to go dry my hair upside down and use 1/2 bottle of Aussie Spray Sprunch to defy gravity. Nothin' like the 80s!

"Show this guy then cut back to these two."

Best line...

OMG, I had pictures of A-Ha from Tiger Beat magazine. I always dreamed I would totally wow them with my bad perm, stirrup pants and Swatch. I miss the '80s.

FADKOG - It took me back to the good old days, that's for sure.

Merrie - I do remember those! My girls aren't ready, either.

Tim H - I always thought so, too. Nobody I know would be sitting in a diner, reading a comic book (ok, actually I could end this sentence right there), and then suddenly a hand pops out - and you take the hand. Nope. None of my homies.

Jormengrund - Thanks!

Deb - We all had combustible hair back then.

Weesle - that's my favorite line, too!!! Classic....

KC - I used to have a swatch that I loved and I lost it. Whenever I look through an old purse for something it always crosses my mind that maybe I'll find it...I miss my swatch!!!!

Brad - I hadn't seen that one (until now). Funny!!!

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...
