Just about every week, Cocky & Rude presents you with a Friday Five. It’s a list of our five favorite things of the week, wrapped up in a concise package for you to enjoy. This week is no different. So sit back, relax, and enjoy (dramatic pause) the Friday Five.
First up this week is Chris Crocker. You may remember him from a few years ago when he urged the world to LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!! Fast forward all the way to 2011 and it seems that Chris has had a bit of a makeover. He’s now recording music, living with his boyfriend, … and will be starring in a full-length gay porno this summer! (Very NSFW preview photos can be found on Unrated Perez.) Oh, and he also has a Tumblr page, where he posts photos and answers questions like, “how do you know when someone loves you for you, and not for what you have, or what you can do for them?” Music, Porn, Dear Abby Chris … he’s a triple threat! Woo hoo! Way to go, Chris Crocker! I wonder if he still likes Britney?
Next up this week is something a little bit more G-Rated: Bicycling! I love to go on long bike rides (featuring tired muscles and a sore ass). But lately, my schedule has been so busy and my self has been so lazy that I just haven’t hopped onto the old 2-wheeler. So yesterday, for the first time this summer, I pumped up tires, tossed my bike into the Fit and drove to Washington Crossing State Park (that’s where Washington crossed the Delaware on Christmas in 1776 and changed the course of he American Revolutionary War). From there I rode my bike north along the D&R Canal Trail to just north of Lambertville, NJ. That’s a round trip of about 16 miles! Woo! Note: if you don’t see any blog posts after today, it means that I’ve died.
Third this week is the United States Postal Service! I must admit that it was going to be on my list of most hated things this week (because I am still waiting for all my birthday cards and presents from ALL of the C&R readers (Polt not included — he sent me a lovely card with cute boys on the front)) but the USPS really came through for me this week. They delivered Mush‘s prize for winning Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser 2 in two days (yes, I just sent it THIS week, and yes, she won the contest on March 31st). I paid for the cheapest way to mail the box (because I’m poor) which claimed that it would get it to her in about 7 days … and it took 2. From New Jersey to Washington state in 2 days. I’m impressed. Oh, and speaking of the USPS, it’s also the cause of Patton Oswalt’s most recent tragedy. Enjoy:
Fourth this week are kittens! As a bunch of you already know, I volunteer every week at a cat shelter, where I clean up various disgusting fluids (like diarrhea, vomit, pee, etc.), empty litter boxes, replace food and water dishes, sweep, vacuum, bleach, scrub, squeegee, etc. Along with all my cleaning duties, I also get to spend a little time playing with cats … and kittens! The summer months always mean that we have lots of kittens … and in case you were somehow unaware, kittens are amazing. Not only are they playful and fun, they’re also soft, (usually) friendly, and most of all, they’re freak’n adorable. Check out this kitten video that Tam passed on to me:
And finally this week is the TV series, Fringe. I always try my best (unlike some bloggers) to avoid blabbing on and on about old TV shows that I’m watching. But I just finished watching three seasons of Fringe (over the course of about 3 weeks) and I wanna scream about it! How come I never watched this show? Have you seen it?! It’s great!! Granted, I love J.J. Abrams, the guy could take a dump for 2 hours, film it, call it a movie and I’d probably love it… But now I gotta wait until the fall season to see more Fringe? Inconceivable!!!
So that’s this week’s Friday Five. Do you love it? Chris Crocker, Bicycling, the USPS, kittens, and Fringe! It doesn’t get much better than that. Or does it? Tell me all about your five favorite things of the week in the comments!
Oh, and by the way, this week’s runners up are: the new cheap wok that I bought at Ikea, extra firm tofu, Trivial Pursuit questions (not the whole game), turtles, eBay, cancelling your Netflix subscription, and hardcore gay porn.
As someone who grew up in a household full to the brim with dudes who had to prove their masculine dominance by watching sports, I have grown to hate them with somewhat of a passion. It seems that just as one season of baseball is winding down, the damn idiots in big uniforms start to dominate the headlines. If I ruled the world, these kinds of legislated and regulated pissing contests would be eliminated or at least not televised. Like Adam I do have some sports that I do enjoy watching and occasionally even playing them. Check them out:
Soccer
In the aforementioned testosterone saturated home, there was one sport that involved every member of the family and that I actually enjoyed. That was soccer. My father was a coach and a referee, my mother was a coach and an MVP award winning player, all three of my brothers played, and I myself played up until I was about fourteen. Even today I find the sport engaging for some odd reason and I can actually be roped into watching a match here or there. I think that my non-conformist nature loves the fact that soccer was considered so un-American for a long time!
Trivial Pursuit
This is my absolute favorite board game of all time. It is also one of the few things I get incredibly competitive over. Every time I fall into a wiki-hole, I crawl out with one thought in my head: I hope that comes up in my next game of trivial pursuit. This also relates to my childhood. I could never keep up with my brothers on the athletic field, but I could always beat them in on the battlefield of knowledge. Sometimes that field was Trivial Pursuit, and I loved to dominate. I was so good at it that my brothers were convinced I spent my off hours studying the answers on each card just to beat them.
Hardcore Gay Porn
This is a competition I can watch over and over again. The number of players, their positions, and rules may vary from match to match, but after every one I feel entertained and satisfied. What more can you ask for from a sporting event?
So there they are folks. Those are the sports I can stomach: Soccer, Trivial Pursuit, and Hardcore Gay Porn. Are there any sports you find secretly arousing?
