Friday Night Live presents: HAPPY FREAKIN' NEW YEAR!

FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE WITH MONTY!

Wheee!

Well would you look at that?

Guess who won BEST AUDIO BLOGGER IN THE WHOLE DAMN STATE OF OKLAHOMA????






And to all the losers people I was up against... I'm sorry, but there can be ONLY.ONE.WINNER.

ME ME ME ME ME *bootyshake* *"I WIN" dance*

Seriously, congratulations to EVERYONE nominated in all the categories, whether you made the top of the list or not...I know we all work hard to make our blogs/podcasts the best they can be.

Now I must go bask in the glory.

NO MORE COUPONS. Sorry.

If you've visited here before, you're likely well-aware that I am brand loyal to very few things...but one of the products I will never, ever substitute is Clorox bleach.

LOVE IT. Even the plain ol' regular kind without any added scent. It just signifies CLEAN to me... reminds me of hanging sheets out on the line with my great-grandma on Saturday afternoons.

I've been lucky enough to get to review a few of Clorox's other products recently, and I still love 'em. I ALWAYS try to sign up right away for Clorox reviews.

As much liquid bleach as I've used over the years, I've never tried the Clorox 2 color-safe bleach, so I was VERY anxious to try it out. Most of you know that my son is in diapers and sometimes there are...leakage issues. ESPECIALLY at night.

THIS STUFF GETS THE PEE SMELL OUT. Even the detergent with Oxy-Clean that I typically use doesn't do the job on its own.

Also? I have a lot of black shirts and NONE OF THEM FADED. I admit I was a little fearful, because "bleach" and "black" do not go together well in the washing machine (or WARSHING MACHINE if you're my grandma).

I threw in black, red, and light blue... and Clorox 2 Stain Fighter and Color Booster.

No clothes were ruined in the experiment.

SCORE!

PLUS, if you head on over to this Clorox 2 site, they have a STAIN WARS contest!.
This stuff can even be used as a pre-treater as well. Want to give it a try??


I have 4 (FOUR) coupons to give away, worth ONE FREE BOTTLE/PACKAGE of CLOROX 2!
The coupons are good for the 44oz liquid or the 49.2oz dry Clorox 2.

SORRY. ALL GONE.

and now for something completely different...

Dear McDonalds:
I know it's a tradition, but I'm hoping that one of you will decide to rebel or think outside the box...and put the fries in RIGHT-SIDE UP some day.
Thanks.

---

Dear Braum's Dairy Store:
I really enjoyed snickering at reading your marquee sign that was advertising "PUMMKIN PIES"
Think spell-check.
Is all I'm saying.

That is all.
Have a day.

How dumb ARE you?

Dear Everyone who will ever consider running for President of the US:

DON'T. FUCK. AROUND. ON. YOUR. SPOUSE.
Seriously, have you NOT been paying attention the last 40 or 50 years?
SOMEBODY ALWAYS TALKS. And then your poor spouse and kids get slapped in the face with YOUR weakness and infidelity over & over again.

It's simple: if you cheat on your spouse or your taxes, the story will come out.
IT WILL.

So suck it up, keep your dick in your pants, and don't humiliate your wife & kids.
mkay?
Good.

Sincerely tired of political foibles,
Monty

ONE MORE THING.

Make sure you grab the podcast for last week's Friday Night Live - GEORGE-A-PALOOZA!
Lots of fun things happened.
You'll see.
Or, rather, HEAR.

Scrub-a Scrub-A Scrub-A

THE BATHROOM IS MY NEMESIS.
Okay, I'm really lazy not much on housecleaning, but I do like a clean bathroom. Because otherwise? Ew.
So I was happy to be included in Mom Central's Scrubbing Bubbles blog tour.

For years and years (following Mommie Dearest's my mom's tradition) I've scrubbed the bathroom with powdered cleanser (Comet). It's always nice & sparkly & fresh when I'm finished, but O! The rinsing! And the tiny bit of grit in the tub that I always seem to somehow miss.

THEN! I got a chance to try the Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubber. I made let my daughter give it a shot first on the bathtub - and she actually did a really good job. Fair is fair, so I tried it too and let me tell you it's SO MUCH EASIER than my normal powder-and-rag scrubbing. Got the tub just as clean - and GRIT FREE!.

Simple to use, no icky stuff that you have to touch. Just attach a scrubbing pad to the (very comfortable to use!) handle, and VOILA! Nice. Especially when you're...housekeeping challenged, like me.
And just to sweeten the deal, if you head over to the Scrubbing Bubbles site, THERE ARE COUPONS for the Action Scrubber (along with some of their other awesome products)!!

I'm sold. I've quit the powder cold-turkey. Once you go Action Scrubber, you'll never go back.
Is all I'm saying.

OH and PS: My podcast makes EXCELLENT background noise by which to clean. Or so I've heard.

and now for something completely different...

I need to give a HUGE shout-out and THANK YOU SO MUCH to the wonderfully generous and fine folks at Six Apart Media (the people of Movable Type and Typepad).
I had the incredibly good fortune to meet some of the behind-the-scenes people at a fun (and SO CROWDED!) cocktail party whilst at BlogHer last week. They ROCK! When I decide to give in to peer pressure and move away from blogger.com, I'm definitely going to join their family.

AND THE BEST PART???

They drew my name to win an iPhone 3G!!!
It was the only thing I won in San Francisco - and it was one of the very best prizes EVER.

Thank you, Six Apart!!

I'M NOT DEAD! I'm feeling better! I don't want to go on the cart!

Two imaginary bonus points if you get the title reference.

---

Wow, it is all dusty and neglected in here! I have no particular reason, except for the normal things like "I NEED MORE TIME!" and "I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY TO YOU!".

Poor little blog.
I think I've given it an inferiority complex or something.

I DO have things to say, but I didn't want to just fill the space with the same old shit regurgitated in different words. BOOOOOORING!

Okay, it may ALWAYS be a little boring, but at least it'll be boring on a different topic.

---

Although I love twitter.com, the amount of social climbing, "star" fucking, brown-nosing, and fakery makes me almost physically ill.
Especially when you find out that people you really thought were sweet and caring and...relatively well-adjusted are really NOT LIKE THAT in real life.
In real life they are rude and thoughtless, selfish and uppity. AND LIARS.
And old enough to know better.
SHAME on you. SHAME.

---

I got an email from someone who said I was "scarily intimidating".
I don't see it.
Am I?
I don't even know what that MEANS.

Apparently (according to the same individual), the person worries that they can't live up to my expectations of them, my expectations of people in general.
WHAT?
What do you know of my expectations?
I expect people to be decent human beings, is all. Is that so hard?
I say what's on my mind. If I'm wrong, so be it.
I don't expect my friends to always agree with me, nor I with them. It's okay to have your own personal opinion and not be a "yes-person".

Just because I have low tolerance for constant whining or being a quitter or your little clique of holier-than-thou pals or the people who think they're the intellectual elite doesn't mean that you're wrong and I'm right although I probably am, it just means I don't like those behaviors or the people who embody them.
If you don't mind, then more power to you! Doesn't mean I can't like YOU.

So give me a fuckin' break, okay? Srsly.

and now for something completely different...
