Disregarding Carrot Top

 
Currently Watching
Melvin Goes to Dinner
see related

I just finished spending an unnecessary amount of time trying to find  pictures of Rosario Dawson's breasts. A debate arose among friends concerning matters of silicone, and I am a total tit crusader if I feel there are wrongful accusations being thrown around.

There are several matters upon which I will not bend:

  • I know good breasts when I see them (Sidenote: hello to the various family members reading this. I'm still not that lesbian daughter/cousin/niece you all seem to think I have so much potential to become. Stay tuned for next week's entry, though! Cliffhanger!)
  • Knock-off food brands are superior to the originals. (Tuxedos>Oreos, Mountain Lion>Mountain Dew, et al.).
  • Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" gets better every time you listen to it. (Another sidenote: I should probably be working at Hallmark).
  • And, most importantly...redheads should be ruling the earth.

The pure, unadulterated joy of attending my cousin's graduation/family festivities a week or so ago was only surpassed by finding the love of my life. Most of my time in Jersey was spent either discussing the golden child, or reminding people that a) as much as I appreciate the, "birthday wishes for the big 1-4" in case you don't see me again before then, I should probably let on to the fact that I am currently enrolled in college and closer to my twenties than you may think and b) I am indeed still single...yes, just like the last time you saw me. Feigned surprise is unnecessary. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's been established that I tend to watch a lot of both Jeopardy! and any documentary I can get my hands on. Whether this coincides with the amount of friends I have is currently an untested theorem, but I think conclusions can be drawn. So, in an attempt to avoid family dramatics, I finally watched "Wordplay," the fast-paced thriller about the national crossword puzzle competition that takes place in Connecticut every year.

And there he was. The youngest winner of the competition.

 
 wordplay
 
Red headed, dictionary-wielding, twenty year old Tyler Hinman.
 
Oh, Baby. You had me at one across. Ugh. Bad jokes happen, people.

I have a long-standing affinity towards redheads. I'm sort of a bastard, so my efforts in befriending them are usually unsuccessful, but I'll continue to try in vain. I'm hypnotized into loving them, really. It's gotten to the point where I find Kathy Griffin hilarious. Not only am I probably the only fan of hers who is not a gay male, but I also think she's quite pretty. Let me repeat...I honestly find Kathy Griffin attractive. I know it's wrong, but that pasty skin skews the thought process. And let's just ignore the fact that not only is Danny Bonaduce a ginger, but so are the rest of his family members. Dear God. Nothing is better than that VH1 show.
 
Is this dedication a result of low self esteem? I don't think so...I just think they represent an underappreciated recessive gene that deserves attention. Hemophilia is also linked to recessive genes, but, you know...that sexy little trait is slightly less appealing.
 
 
 
 
Regardless, this March I'm traveling to Brooklyn, the new location of the competition, to see these people (redheaded or not) in all their glory. Is that dedication a result of low self esteem? Quite possibly.

wow, you look kinda tired... are you ok?

Good luck in brooklyn. I am still single as well. Perhaps I too should go nor'east.That is, if brooklyn still exists. Being on the westcoast,I'm a little out of it. Was there a freak episode of catlysmic global warming yesterday, or was that just me?

Haha my sister recently made a similar fan post on facebook about redheads + the crossword kid. I feel similarly as you do about redheads but still outwardly harass them, if only so that I can regularly pull "circus crotch" out of my big bag o' insulting alliterations. Yeah and that's all I can think of right now because I think the stupid sun is about to come up.

I'm a redhead. thank you.

I also love crosswords. I find the daily commuter to be absolutely pedestrian in its simplicity, even. And I'm up to half of Wednesdays. In ink.

We appreciate your support of us.

But no, I'm not a ginger.

I've been reading your site for quite awhile now. I've never met you so I guess that almost makes me an online stalker/predator. However, I am a redhead, and it is great other than the whole bursting into flames if the sun touches my skin thing. I am here though to thank you, for not making any carrot top (not the prop comedian but the not so clever nickname chosen by most relatives over the age of sixty) related comments. It's a really confusing nickname and it took me years to realize they didn't mean the top of a carrot which has leafy green stuff but actually the color or a carrot which is orange and by no means red.

You have to admit, a hemophiliac with a scalp wound does put a new twist on red head. Sorry, I'm a little twisted. Enjoy you crossword fest. Blessings abound

oddly enough, I have a thing for redheads as well. Maybe because they only make up like 1% of the worlds population. Also, I just think redheaded children are adorable, and thats what Im looking for in my Babysdaddy. I was at the grochery store last week, admiring a cute redhead and I said aloud "Hes pretty cute" and a creepy old man next to me over heard me and simply replies "In the middle ages redheads were beheaded" cute. Im flying in CT in two days, I wish we could get together. lovekass

i was redhead once..
as well as a blue, green,pink,orange, purple, yellow etc...
but ya know what? that doesnt matter, i really think the reason behind all those colours is because i firmly believe that L7 needs to join a homosexual commune, in which we are safe and secure, with no straight males to ruin our lives.
i told kelsey this last night, she agrees.
on a better note, are you doing all right?

My sister is a flight attendant and she met Kathy Griffin on the plane once. When I was in elementary there was only one little boy with red hair and I believe his name was Eric Gadberry. We teased him, naturally. I work at an elementary now and I noticed that there is quite a robust population of redheads, which I thought remarkable because I grew up in a time when there was only an Eric Gadberry.


Yea, that's all I got on the reds.

It took me a few years to figure out Rosario Dawson was not a dude. It wasn't like I'd seen her in stuff and said "Oh that must be a dude." I just generally don't pay attention to things and I probably never sat down and made a conscious effort to research her body of work. Then she was in Clerks II and blew a goat or something. Somebody finally heeded Steven Karp's former employer's advice in the 40 Year Old Virgin. I think he ran the cafeteria him and Marshall briefly worked at in Undeclared.

Mountain Dew has a knock off brand? While I'm not a soda fan, I should run experiments with 6 year olds to see which one causes more hyperactivity. I only knew of a Dr. Pepper knock off because my uncle drinks nothing but Dr. Pepper. One week, my grandmother purchased him some Dr. Pibb and he flipped out because it was NOT Jackie Robinson (or Dr. Pepper for that matter). Needless to say, he's received his steady shipment of Dr. Pepper ever since. May as well just hook up an IV to his arm and pump it into his veins for the next 30 years. An IV don't come for free, I'm sorry to say.

Do you ever wonder if Rod Stewart wrote Maggie May about the eventual, untimely passing of the Time To Make The Donuts Guy? It's certainly possible. However, there's a greater chance it isn't possible. Maybe someday after he passes away Rod Stewart will start an All-Star Afterlife band with the Time To Make The Donuts Guy on catering, Calvert "Larry 'Bud' Melman" DeForest on moog, Dana Plato on the key-tar (oh, surely you know the magical wonders of a key-tar. It's like a guitar, ONLY A KEYBOARD! Words cannot describe the magnificence of one of these instruments. They should replace the harp with a key-tar as the universal instrument played by angels). Also, let's get Burgess Meredith on the drumkit, preferably dressed up as The Penguin, Crispus Attucks on the bass (you just know that dude had rhythm) and on lead guitar its Allen Ludden, the original host of TV's Password. Each one of them easily possesses more musical ability than Sid Vicious; how could this wrong? They could duel with Jimi Hendrix's All-Star Band, which possibly includes Falco and Darren McGavin. I've clearly put too much thought into this.

Why were you discussing The Golden Child at your cousin's graduation sha-bang-a-bang? Was that in reference to your cousin, or did you find someone obsessed with the subtle intracacies of that Eddie Murphy film of the same name? Feigning surprise is fun for old people. It's the only surprise left for them since they have become grossly incontintent (and incompetent) and can only eat rice cakes or else their intestines will rupture out through their chest cavity. They're also sad you may not have sent them any strip-o-grams so they want to make you feel like mud. Or lower than mud. Which I guess is the ingredients of mud. You could send them a hot nurse as a strip-o-gram. The heart attack they have after seeing someone 1/3rd their age strip down to their skivvies should cause cardiac arrest. And the only fun way to be arrested is by your heart.

Ya know, Danny Bonaduce is back on the market. You could give him the time of his life. He is prone to fits of violence, has a history of abusing steroids (amongst other things) and likes sweet transvestites. So you could bring Tim Curry along for some fun. I've had Mr. BONA-BONA-DOOCH in my death pool a couple of times. I'm just saying. His is a good name to pick up since the chances of him dying are greater than say Cousin Larry Appleton of Perfect Strangers.

Hemophilia is great if you have to fight someone who's challenged your honor. Because by simply yelling "I'M A HEMOPHILIAC!", that person isn't going to want to pummel you. And then maybe you can get a couple good jabs to their throat before someone scolds them for trying to murder a hemo.

Have fun in Brooklyn next March. Maybe you'll run into Tony Danza and you can ask him what the hell he was thinking with The Tony Danza Show (the sitcom, not the talk show. Although both were kinda useless). Also, it is mandatory you keep rockin'.

what you are staring at right now, is the comment of kathy griffin's number one fan. and of course she is attractive.

i always wanted to be a red head. i dyed it red when i was like..14. and now the bottom half of my hair is still stained a little red/auburnish despite the constant applications of chocolate brown dye.

oh man it's funny because i just came to your page and there was stuff about carrot top and earlier today we were playing the game boggle and i got bored and drew a picture of carrot top on my leg holding a prehistoric bam bam stick (like in the flintstones)
except his big stick is made from an outline of one of the scars i have on my legs.

well now that i think about it, at the top of this comment where i was like "it's funny because..." it really isn't funny at all. more of just a coincidence or something.

redheads care me.  their pubic hair makes it look like their crotch is on fire.  I'm not putting my unit anywhere near that!

Redheads and I.... well we have no relationship. Fake redheads and I, that's a whole different story. I was one once and it was a disaster. Then an ex boyfriend of mine died his hair red.... all of his hair red. Which is why I agree with AristotleForDummies.... red pubic hair is freaking scary.

Well, seeing how KFC has the failure bowls now (they dont' even try, they just slop the chicken and corn in with the mashed potatoes and people just eat from the trough like hogs), I'm not surprised by the trash can lids.

Sounds rather American, though.

it's alright. i wouldn't have known what to say either. i'm actually the worst at accepting compliments especially pertaining to my physical appearance. someone will tell me i'm pretty and i'll just be like "oh.."

dyed your hair red? i thought you were naturally a ginger. :o

so um, I was browsing around xanga, and I have to say, Full in the terms of being a straight male myself, I agree that Kathy Griffin is pretty frickin attractive, and redheads should rule the earth.

That may be the first time I've ever read/heard a sentence with both "Kathy Griffin" and "attractive" without also containing the word "not".

I have nothing witty to say about red heads. I simply stock them. You know this, I know this, and they know this as well. Well. I thought I would let you know that Mike and I were discussing voice boxes last night- and that when he gets one- he will be one of those people who abuse it. For instance, we thought up that he could sneakily sneak up on people and say boo. You know, cus' it's not all that scary... it sounded funnier last night.But I'mn sure your laughing anyway. Let me touch on this other hot subject here- Kathy Griffith. I full out had to google her, and then remembered how much she alarmingly resembles reba mcentire, another fellow redhead. But maybe they look completely different, I don't really know. Anyway. Miss you. See you in the fall, if not before.

oh it's far from romantic. it was just some lame excuse he put up for getting the cheapest thing off the cart. haha. but it's nicer to look at it the way i wish it was meant to be.

Mike pointed out that you will be in heaven once you seduce the two twin Weasley brothers from Harry Potter. As a matter of fact, you might as well seduce the whole family- even Ron.
He tried to convince me to wear a cloak, luckily he couldn't find one that "fit his body type." Instead we cheered and clapped at the end of the movie, though both of us fell asleep for a good hour of it. Old and marriage like? Check. <3

There has definitely been quite a while since your last xanga post. It is saddening, especially since your posts tend to be the highlight of my day/entire summer.
