Cheering Me Up

So, as anyone who's had the misfortune of speaking with me in the past couple of weeks knows, work has been HELL for me as of late. Scott's job has been even worse.


Thank God for the "Internets":









..


JOY 1


At Gawker.com, they were inspired by the recent resurfacing of Bill O'Reilly losing his shit on Inside Edition. (And, honestly, who wouldn't be after viewing such a masterpiece?)


They came up with this montage of the all-time, top ten angry on-camera meltdowns by reporters. Brilliant is an understatement.









JOY 2


Below this brilliant piece of work, the comments section provides equally, if not even more so amusing footage of the legendary Casey Casem losing it on his programing director. Added Bonus: who names their dog "Shuggles"?









JOY 3


After seeing that, it reminded me of this classic footage I had once seen. (It has a bit of a long stretch intro, but the finale is the stuff of YouTube glory.)









JOY 4


Oh, that clip gets even better. See, someone was inspired enough to let grape stomping reporter be their muse. The following made Scott and I cry from laughing so hard:









JOY 5


As I signed on to MySpace to post these "Online Gems", I happened to see Ricky had posted a new blog.


Man oh man, that guy sure is the diamond mining king in the "online gem" mining industry: http://www.money.co.uk/article/1000390-13-year-old-steals-dads-credit-card-to-buy-hookers.htm


Seriously, there are so many quotables in that article, it's hard to pick just one.


"Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel." (emphasis mine)


"Ralph had reportedly told police that his father wouldn't mind, as it was his birthday last week and he had forgot to get him a present."


I think this is my personal favorite here:


"Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament."


Although, this one is pretty fucking awesome, too:


"They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them."


And, here is the clincher:


"Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician."


At 13 years old, Ralph Hardy is my hero. Not that I want to rent hookers to play XBox with me. But, to have such strong smart ass powers at such a young age, he is truly a jedi master.


CONCLUSION:


So, the world really isn't so bad... actually, it really is that bad. In fact, it's worse. But, dang it, at least I can be amused before the Fourth Horseman comes galloping through!


Cheers,


E
