Breaking Bad! How did I not know how great this show is?? AMC was having a marathon of Breaking Bad beginning with the first episode, so Harry and I decided to watch and see if we liked it. And it’s awesome! It’s been all Breaking Bad all the time around here. I’m going to be sad when we catch up and we only get one a week. So, if you’re not watching, you should start, yo. -Michelle M.
A Conversation With My 12 Year Old Self: 20th Anniversary Edition. This is great. I love the condescension to himself. -Ryan
Frank Ocean‘s Bad Religion on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I just discovered his music last week, and I’m excited to see him promote his new album with a performance of an unambiguously gay song. -Ryan
Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t allow embedded video from the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, so please watch the video here:

One of my favorite things this week was air conditioning! Especially in the bedroom where, coupled with a fan, I was pleasantly cool and comfortable during sleep while the world outside cooked in overnight temps in the high 80s! God bless the inventor of air conditioning! -Polt
The Rockie Mountains. They are as amazing in real life as in pictures. Granted, not as much wildlife as I’d hoped, but still an amazing sight everyone should see once in a lifetime. The 2000km round trip drive is worth it. -Tam
Earlier this week, I got something that brightened my entire week: A post card from Vancouver! I LOVE getting postcards from people when they’re on vacation and Tam is great at doing this. Just like this time. Although when she sent me one from San Francisco, it had a half-nekked guy on it. NOT that I’m complaining about this one being just a scenic landscape. nope, not at all. -Polt
And finally a video that has been making the rounds this week, it’s Paris-based electro new wave pop band The Aikiu, performing Pieces of Gold. I’ll let the (NSFW?) video speak for itself! -Adam
Craig’s Runners Up: Anticipation for the season premiere of Breaking Bad this Sunday, Tara’s sexy vamp outfit on True Blood, air conditioning, Lord of the Rings LEGOs, Amy Poehler, and Hardcore gay pornography.
What’s Your Friday Five?
It’s probably no surprise that our Have You Ever?! quizzes give us quite the bump in our web hit counts. In fact, our latest one, Have You Ever… Had Sex?! gave us some of the highest single-day numbers that we’ve ever recorded (at least since switching to the wordpress.com hosting). But when I check the stats chart for our April 30th through May 4th hits, I can’t help but wonder … Are you trying to tell us something?
Ever since we’ve moved Cocky & Rude to WordPress.com, we’ve been able to track our visitors much easier. The .com version of WordPress (as opposed to the .org version that you install on a website) automatically records all sorts of fun statistics and information about the people that visit our site. And like most trackers, it gives us a list of the search terms that people are plugging into search engines to find their way to C&R.
Last week, Mush over at Goblinbox recorded all-time visitor highs when she wrote about Net Neutrality and Egypt. Her post became the first result for people searching “egypt net neutrality” on Google, and the rest was history. At C&R, our search topics aren’t … as classy. Here are just a few of our most popular search topics from the last seven days…
“Biggest Cock”
I don’t believe we’ve ever blogged about the largest penis, but we are in the middle of a Biggest Cock & Rudest Loser contest. I assume that the people who find their way to our site are probably a little disappointed. We do our best to keep our site around a PG-13, so the odds of finding a photo of a giant penis are pretty slim. But in the interest of giving the people what they want, I’ve done a little Googling myself, and found this on Oddee.com:
The official rank of the largest penis belongs to a man measured and documented by Dr. Robert Dickinson in the earlier part of the twentieth century. This record-holding penis was 13.5 inches (34 cm) in length and 6.25 inches (16 cm) in circumference. But the living owner of the world’s biggest human penis is Jonah Falcon. Falcon’s 13.5 inch member has been measured for a TV special, making him one of the few guys who can back up his bodily boasts. (source)
“How Much Does the Stuffed Animal in the H&R Block Commercial Weigh“
I have no idea. And who cares? Don’t you people have anything better to do? Obviously these searchers are finding their way to Mikey’s Be Nice To Bunny post. I was able to find that it is 16 feet tall. Is that good enough for you?
“Tim Urban”
This barely talented American Idol cast-off from season 9 is always bringing people to C&R. It’s been quite a while since we’ve even mentioned little Timmy, but I guess you’ve got to give the people what they want. I did a little searching and found that Urban released a few songs on iTunes last November. He’s also been auditioning for TV work, hasn’t gotten a haircut lately, and recently had his GPS stolen from his car. How do I know this? It seems that he recently started a really boring video blog on YouTube…
and finally… “Leonardo DiCaprio Penis Boat”
Seriously?! What is wrong with you people??? Okay, okay. I’m not going to Google that one for you, because I have no idea what you’re even looking for. Instead, I’ll do what Craig used to do with his search terms. I’ll draw it!
Don’t you just feel complete, now that you’ve seen a Leonardo DiCaprio Penis Boat? Me too! Happy Monday, everybody! And may your searching always lead you back to Cocky & Rude!

Grrrrrrrr!
Here’s some (more) stuff that annoys me. Enjoy.
Nadia from Bitchin’ Kitchen. Why does she have to talk like that? That exaggerated accent is ridiculous.
The guy from the Beastie Boys. That whiny thing he does with his voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
People who practically come to a stop before going over a speed bump.
Recaps of shows on the show itself. I don’t need a review of what I’ve already seen when we get back from the commercial break. I’m looking at you House Hunters.
People who don’t say thank you when I open the door for them. Maybe next time this happens I’ll scream, “YOU’RE WELCOME!!!” at them.
Contestants who hold their signal device incorrectly on Jeopardy (behind their backs, with crossed arms, pushing their button with their index fingers). They should all take lessons from my favorite Jeopardy contestant of all time: Ty Cone.
That weird model pose.
And the bleached eyebrows. Enough already.
Debra Messing‘s character on Smash. There is nothing sympathetic about her to me. She is unpleasant and whiny and she cheated on her husband. Am I supposed to root for her? Yuck. I hope she falls down an elevator shaft.
WordPress. It hides half my comment (if it even lets me make one). And that’s if I can even log in. Will I be Michelle M. or melliots? Who knows?!
Why can’t I just buy a six pack of soda at the grocery store? I wanted to but some Hansen’s mandarin lime soda to add in with my beloved Berenger’s zinfandel, but all I could find was cases of the stuff. I don’t need that much soda! I am on a diet!!
Other things that bug me: ads before YouTube videos, accidentally deleting my post and buying the wrong kind (sugar free) of Fudgsicles.
So what’s been getting your dander up? Le me know in comments.
