My new haircut looks something like this.
Much like the ‘Friday Five’, the ‘Thursday Four’ is an exploration of great things. …except there are four things instead of five. …and it’s Thursday and not Friday. …and it doesn’t really have the same ring as ‘Friday Five’. OH WELL! This week Michelle M. and I got together (figuratively, not literally) to present these four great things to you. Read ‘em and weep, suckers!
1. Grooming myself! (and having other people groom me.) This week I trimmed my beard really short, AND got a haircut! I look marvelous! I’d post a photo, but I’ve gotten so fat that I hardly look like myself anymore. (Hurray for BC&RL3!) Either that or I’m just super lazy tonight. ANYWAY — I love having a closely shorn head and face. Is that weird? -Adam
Fuck you, Chris Christie!
2. Chris Christie vetoed gay marriage! After I’ve finally gotten over the fact that he fired every teacher in NJ, I needed a new reason to hate that fat Republican fuck. And he did not disappoint — last week he vetoed gay marriage! Yay Chris Christie! Now I have a reason hate you forever. If I ever see you in person, I promise to spit on you. People just don’t spit on each other enough these days. Unless they need emergency lubrication — but that’s a whole ‘nother story. -Adam
3. Downton Abbey* – what a great show. Season two has just ended, but there will be a season three, and Shirley MacLaine will play Lady Cora’s mother. Yay! Here is a clip from Saturday Night Live if you haven’t been watching and would like a rundown on the show. – Michelle M.
They see me rollin', they hatin', patrollin' Tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
4. And look! There are Downton Abbey paper dolls, in case you’re going through DA withdrawal like me. I love the faces for the Chicken Lady, er, Dowager Countess, O’Brien’s evil soap and Mr. Pamuk. – Michelle M.
Runners up: The Good Wife*, reusable shopping bags, complaining, spending other people’s money, liquid wart remover,lazy posts, pregnant ladies, selling crap on eBay, adorably tiny bottles of diet soda, eating like a pig before BC&RL3, and hardcore gay pornography.
That’s our Thursday Four … what’s yours?
*Why isn’t this show on Our T.V. Night??

1) No more tooth pain (on the downside, frozen mouth and a filling)
2) warm weather
3) ……….
I would appear to need a partner in crime to come up with my four. I got nuthin’.
I’ve heard so much about Downton Abbey but I’m not even sure we get it up here or on what channel. My hair cut is Saturday, Hopefully a little different than Adam’s. Your Governor sucks Adam.
what’s with the frozen mouth? I’ve never had a frozen mouth before — only Novocaine. Is it like an ice cream headache?
I think it’s on DVD now. It has 2 seasons so far and season 2 just ended.
Hurray for no tooth pain.
I’ll offer two as well:
1. Cats that just want to curl up in a ball on your lap and sleep for hours. Work? Surely you don’t intend to go to work!
2. Crock-pot cooking. Saute some onions and pepper, toss with chicken and spices into the crock-pot, and go away for 8 hours until dinner is ready. Yay.
One thing Chrstie did this week that I liked: he called out Santorum on his claim that Santorum’s batsh*t crazy remarks about Satan aren’t relevant to the campaign because they were made so long ago (2008).
Is Dana Carvey a liberal? If Santorum is the GOP candidate, could the Dems get Carvey in his Church Lady role doing ads about Santorum? I think this would be a great way to spend some of Colbert’s SuperPAC money.
Send me your crock pot recipes! Would love an easy chicken or beef dish. So far I’ve just made soup and chili in mine, but I want to make more traditional entrees, perhaps something to put over rice.
Maybe you should start a blog for people to share their crock pot recipes. You could tap the ‘sad housewife’ demographic … might be more successful than Our T.V. Night?
Will “recipe copyright infringement” be the next Napster?
Wow. That hurts. SAD FACE.
Settle.
YOU SETTLE. I don’t come to Cocky & Rude to have rude insults thrown at me by cocky people! Oh wait, that’s exactly why I come here. Damn.
yea
Don’t worry, I’ll gladly send some recipes to your email, I just have worries that a public forum for sharing copyright text might run afoul of some rule or other. Folk in Hollywood sure seem all fired up by this issue these days.
Oh, I just realized you were replying to the “become a blogger” exhortation, not my napster reference.
Never mind!
I doubt that anyone in Hollywood cares about your crack pot recipes.
What’s wrong with being a sad housewife?!
My cat likes to sleep on my chest when I fall asleep in front of the television. She likes to wake me up by sticking her claws into my chin.
I have a roast in the crock pot as we speak! I got it from Trader Joes. I’ll send a pic and a recipe tonight (I gotta go to painting class, or I’d do it now).
Just got home – the house smells so good! Like dead cow and spices. Mmmm.
We should do a post on commenter’s crock pot recipes!
Since it seems to be the thrend, I’ll throw two in:
1) Moms who don’t mind doing stupid stuff so their sons can film them and use it on their blogs.
(Shameless plug: Mama Polt Reads The Hits!, over at the Palace, right now)
2) I’m still gonna go with last week’s Friday Five: Fresh warm bedsheets right from the dryer.
HUGS….
1. My new obsession with Florence + The Machine. Why am I just hearing about them? I hold Enrico responsible.
2. Good news from the MD. My dad had a few procedures done last and this week and all revealed good news.
3. Good grammar: “Much like the ‘Friday Five’, the ‘Thursday Four’ is am exploration of great things.” OK, so that isn’t a good example.
4. That “settle” is catching on better than “fetch”.
I fixed my typo. It’s difficult to create an amusing AND perfect post for you to critique every day of the week. I’m doing my best…
Settle down, I’m just teasing you.
I know!
AND DON’T TELL ME TO SETTLE!!!!!!
Settle.
Oh, and I’m sure that Enrico talked about Florence + The Machine … you were probably just too busy telling people to “settle” to notice.
When I first read 4, I thought it said, “…catching on better than ‘felch’. ” , and I thought, FELCH? When has felch ever caught on?
Re-reading it correrctly really diminished the shock and humor factor of the whole setence.
HUGS…
I’m sure felch has caught on in some circles, perhaps just not this one.
I am too hopped up on cold medicine to make a sensible comment…..
Go look at Cooper’s post. An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
I love his posts!
Yay! You’re my favorite.
WHAT?!?!?!?! (((JEALOUS.)))
Wait – you actually comment on Cooper’s Corner. YOU’RE my favorite!
Jeez, when is vuboq going to comment? I know he watched Downton Abbey…
Sorry, Michelle. I was busy making (non-crockpot) chili for National Chili Day.
I *heart* Downton Abbey, but haven’t seen Season 2 yet (I just found out that full episodes are on pbs.org, so maybe that’ll be my weekend* project)!
*”Weekend? What’s a weekend?”
That is your assignment then. I love the chicken lady!
I like Downton Abbey! It should be featured on OTN! I’m also very tired.
You commented at 3:00 a.m., of course you were tired!
Hurray!
Night owls rule.
