1. I should have off today since it’s Columbus Day but I don’t. Boo.
2. I should be home finishing season 3 of Avatar but I’m not. I’m about halfway done and I think this is the best season so far. Favorite quote ever:
Some friendships are so strong they can even transcend lifetimes. – Avatar Roku
3. If I gave out commenter awards like “Most Likely to Kill Me and Wear My Skin as a Coat” and “Least Likely to Have Anything Positive to Say” would you all take them in stride? Or would you be insulted? Because I think it’s about time I made fun of you guys.
4. This blog got a book deal. Super Viagra is seriously pissed.
5. WTF?
6. I need a weeks vacation. Name some destinations that are winter friendly.
7. People of Walmart? Don’t mind if I do!
8. Saturday October 17th is a New York City area Puntabulous commenter meet up! Confirmed guests so far include Enrico, Josh, David, Chris D., FDot, Jere, and myself of course! We’re going to a karaoke place. Yeah, I know, I still really hate karaoke, but it should be a great time! E-mail me for details if you’re in the area and want to go.
October 12th, 2009 at 9:37 am
I WANT AN AWARD! Actually, I want a few awards. So please give me more than one.
YOU HATE KARAOKE?! Why didn’t you say that when I mentioned it as a possible plan? lol.
And if it makes you feel better, I’m at work right now. My job doesn’t care about Columbus either.
October 12th, 2009 at 9:48 am
I’d just like to say that if you stick me with “Least Likely to Have Anything Positive to Say” , you can immediately upgrade me to “Most Likely to Kill Me and Wear My Skin as a Coat”. That’s all.
October 12th, 2009 at 9:54 am
I hope you don’t give these awards until after the meetup, or you might end the night as a coat.
October 12th, 2009 at 10:12 am
1. I do have today off, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving day. No turkey though, two people and a whole turkey do not compute.
2. Ummm. Sure.
3. Go for it, you’ll weed out the whiners that way.
4. Super Viagra needs to kick some penguin ass.
5. Funny
6. Anywhere warm works for me. Florida Keys, Somewhere in the Caribbean, San Diego (Michelle would love you forever), Mexico, New Orleans, Belize. I could go on and on and on.
7. It’s like a train wreck. Disturbing and yet you can’t look away.
8. I’m totally jealous and you better have tons of pictures and funny stories to report back. Although I hate karaoke, but since I won’t be there, ignore that comment. Have fun everyone.
October 12th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Hmm… going to karaoke to a bunch of people you’ve never met? Might be fun. Craig, you have my e-mail right?
October 12th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Enrico: Everyone was so excited, that I couldn’t burst the bubble. Besides, I’ll just show up drunk and everything will be okay. And don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll get an award or two.
David: LOL. You’re usually pretty good unless I post some of my crappy Hallmark card writing. Then you’re pretty vicious.
Oz: Good point!
Tam: I’m sure we’ll all have plenty of pictures! Hopefully no videos of me singing though….if I do sing.
Kari: Yup, I’ll send you the information when it’s all finalized. You should definitely come, oh writer of awesome Icelandic TMST posts!
October 12th, 2009 at 10:31 am
You should totally make fun of us. Turnabout is fair play, right? I’m so jealous to miss the karaoke meet-up. Winter vacation? How about come to beautiful St. Pete Beach, FL and see me? We don’t even have to do any stinkin’ karaoke.
October 12th, 2009 at 10:46 am
That Wal-mart site is funny as hell. I just went through all *60+* pages! I couldn’t stop! I could’ve sworn I was going to see my sister on there somewhere…
The one that made me literally laugh out loud was on page 58 with the caption, “How cute and cuddly are those stuffed…….OH MY GOD!” Ha! It made me laugh again just typing it! 
And F You, Penguin getting a book deal is pretty F’d up. Seriously. It’s amusing and all, but enough for a book deal?! I think not. We need to work on getting you noticed. Your talent needs to be read and seen by everyone.
You totally should make fun of us! After all the stuff that’s appeared on this site about me — in posts and comments — I don’t think it’s possible to offend me at this point… LOL
And I can’t tell you how jealous I am about your NYC meetup! Why can’t I live closer to Long Island, dammit?! I’ll be depressed that whole day thinking about the fun you guys are having! lol I’ll be anxious to read about it when you post photos.
October 12th, 2009 at 10:55 am
1. I’ll go you one better: it’s Columbus Day AND Monday (which is my usual day off) and I’m here at work, working even though it’s a holiday AND a Monday!
2. Yeah, I got nothing, sorry. I hear that Dr. Who show is filled with awesome quotes though….
3. Ooooooh, I LOVE awards!!!! Even if I wouldn’t get one (pout) I’d love to see what others got!!
4. Super Viagra will have his time, just you wait!
5. Tee hee, the Cookie Monster one makes me giggle.
6. Toronto’s nice any time of year…or so I imagine…
7. I haven’t been all the way through this site, but I DO love what I’ve seen!
8. I don’t think it’s fair at all the Puntabulous is so NYC-centric. I think I’ll sit at home like Dave S. and just pout about being stuck here and not being there…although karoke? Really? Hmm, well, I guess it’d be fun to watch Enrickyricardo and Sassy josh belt a few tunes I’ve heard by artists I’m not fond of.
Maybe it won’t be such a problem not being there. 
oh and yeah, photos and stories are MANDATORY!
HUGS…
October 12th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Oh, and when I said, ” I guess it’d be fun to watch Enrickyricardo and Sassy josh belt a few tunes I’ve heard by artists I’m not fond of” I obviously meant “a few tunes I’ve NEVER heard”.
Carry on.
HUGS…
October 12th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I have today off, it is the last day of my vacation. Back to reality tomorrow.
Bring on the awards! Maybe if they are funny enough it will lead to your book deal.
I’m jealous of the meetup! I hope you all take pictures and post them.
October 12th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Woo Hoo! I love awards ceremonies, even if I don’t win anything I can at least get drunk and make snarky remarks about the winners.
I am totally jealous of the Puntabulous NYC party! I was planning on having a North, North East Cali Puntabulous get together, but then I realized it would just be me, by myself, getting drunk and running around the neighborhood naked, except for a cape, pretending to be Super Viagra. And really, how is that different from any other Friday night?
October 12th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Oh, and I just got discs two and three of Avatar Book Three from Netflix today, I should get the last ones by the end of the week. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
October 12th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Nico: Everyone dies during a climactic battle in the cereal aisle at a Target in Chillicothe, Ohio.
October 12th, 2009 at 11:34 am
In the final season, they introduce Barry, the breakfastbender. Who knew Fruity Pebbles could be so deadly?
October 12th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Nico: Funny, you’re get-together sounds way more cool than karaoke.
October 12th, 2009 at 11:45 am
Dave S.: but what happend to Sammy the Totally-Fabulous-Wordrobebender? Was he able to remove the Polyester Pantsuit of Doom?
October 12th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Nope. No mean awards for me. I’ll cry and write about how sad and depressed and all alone I am. And then you’ll feel bad and change my award from “most likely to have scabs in unpleasant places” to “prettiest commenter in the whole world.” Save yourself the guilt.
You just can’t expect a guy who puts videos of himself in a wig singing showtunes online to have a thick skin about these things.
October 12th, 2009 at 11:54 am
M.Nico: You’ve been spying on me on Friday nights, haven’t you?
jere: When there’s a cute guy in a video wearing a wig and singing showtunes online, it’s not his skin that I’m concerned about the thickness of! Course, that actually applies to ANY guy in ANY video on the intetnet…..
HUGS…

Craig-
Bermuda is super close, and you can usually get pretty cheap cruise out of NY. If you end up going let me know. I have some secret places you should check out.
October 12th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Bradford: I took a cruise to Bermuda last year. It was fantastic. Though I could have just used 7 days at sea and not needed the Bermuda part at all. I loved being on the ship!
October 12th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
For #3, do you mean “Most likely to kill me and wear my skin like coat” in a good way or a bad way? I mean, are we talking Buffalo Bill or sewing a Fendi tag on you and wearing you for winter?
October 12th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Nico: In an awesome plot twist, Sammy summoned Barry Gibb, whose mere presence rendered the debilitating affects of the Pantsuit ineffective by turning it retro-cool. It was ultimately defeated by a rush of Target customers clamoring to get their hands on it as the coolest new trend. They implied that Gibb could be the rumored “coolbender”…
October 12th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Oh, and I totall meant “Wardrobebender,” darn fingers are not popertly speechifying what mine brane is teling them to type. *sigh* I should go back to bed.
October 12th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
San Diego’s nice in winter.
October 12th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Is the San Diego zoo open in winter?
October 12th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
And who wants me to stay with them if I go there?
October 12th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
….or I’ll just get a hotel. You guys can come back now.
October 12th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
You’re always welcome to stay with me but I don’t really recommend Ottawa in winter.
October 12th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I have a spare space heater in my guest room! So that’s considered a warm place.
October 12th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
1. Columbus Day is the black sheep of holidays. Should it be a day off or not? Why do we even celebrate it? The man didn’t even land in America.
3. Well, winter is coming, and I could use a new coat….
6. Anywhere between 30 degrees N. and 30 degrees S. latitude.
8. Well, I sing worse than I dance, and I don’t dance. I might stand to the side and make sardonic comments though.
October 12th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
The zoo and wild animal park are open year round. Winter is more like fall elsewhere, so it isn’t worth closing things for.
I have a couch.
October 12th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Craiggers: I now have an actually bed in an actual spare room in an actual house! Its yours if you can get here.
….course, there’s not much to do here in winter but stay inside in the warm….but hey, cuddling under a blanket for warmth is a fun idea, right?
HUGS…
October 12th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I think the awards idea is a good idea. Especially if you make fun of lots and lots of people.
October 12th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
But mostly Polt.
October 12th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
I’ll take any kind of attention from Craiggers that I can get.
HUGS…
October 12th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Craig: My one and only time in San Diego was in January for a conference, and the zoo was open. It also rained like 0.001″ and then the little puddles froze and people were seriously freaking out. The newscasters were all, “ZOMG, it’s raining! Don’t! Leave! Your Homes!!!!!!!”
By winter friendly, I thought you meant like Alaska or something, though.
FWIW, I’m working on what would have been my night off and on four hours of sleep, because we really need the money.
October 12th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Tam – I already DO love Craig forever!!! AND EVER!! Which is probably why he won’t want to stay at my new house if he visits San Diego. But just in case, I better make a list (duct tape, rope, dispose of husband, cookies… ).
The zoo is great. We also have Sea World! And the beach! I feel like Craig is the Olympics and we’re competing for him.
I can’t believe you haven’t gotten a book deal (yet). WTF! And the title of this post is cracking me up.
Have fun at karaoke, you guys!
October 12th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
Dave S: I just looked up that photo and I almost fell out of my chair! I am still laughing like a total moron over it!
October 12th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
1. Yep. I didn’t have off either. But I can’t really complain, because I really enjoy my work (most of the time).
2. With all your tweets, you have me really excited about Avatar. I need to get a TV this winter so I can watch it.
3. I think the commenter awards would be fun. According to my back story for PRJNCT on Enrico’s blog your hide may not be furry enough to keep me warm.
4. Maybe 2010 will be the year for S.V. to take over the world.
5. I like the cat one.
6. Florida comes to mind. Perhaps not especially Winter friendly, but I’ve been thinking of spending a few days in DC touring the various Smithsonian museums/galleries. I think that could be a lot of fun.
7. Ha ha! Southern Walmarts are quite entertaining it seems.
8. It is going to be a fun time. Maybe we will make a movie: Puntabulous takes Manhattan.
October 12th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Hmm… Puntabulous Takes Manhattan…
I can see the montage now: we run around NYC with “Empire State of Mind” playing. (Then the song switches to “Party In the USA” of course.)
October 13th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Polt: Artists you’re not fond of? AKA artists that are still alive?! BOO TO YOU FOR QUESTIONING OUR MUSICAL TASTE! No more lap dancez para tu!
Craiggerz: I dare you to try and give me a commenter award not superficially based around my “Z-Play” and faux-wordz.
October 13th, 2009 at 5:53 am
1. I went to work, even though I’m sick. I told coworkers I was celebrating Columbus Day by spreading diseases among unsuspecting masses.
3. I’ve been having fun brainstorming possible commenter prizes for various folk, and think this could be fun.
4. Writing is your destiny. Have faith.
6. Southern Hemisphere.
8. “I still really hate karaoke, but it should be a great time!” LOL
October 13th, 2009 at 6:08 am
I’m back, and I want an award. Something understated and quietly dignified, just like me (ha ha!). As for the bog book deal, I thought the title was a warning to potential publishers. Je dormirai moins con ce soir.
It’s totally sunny in Australia.
October 13th, 2009 at 7:25 am
HEY! I’m afraid I haven’t commented enough lately to win an award, but I’ll take one if you can think one up! Hope you’re all doing well. Hi from Belgium!
October 13th, 2009 at 7:26 am
oh….and I’m SUPER jealous that I can’t go to karaoke with you guys. I LURVE Karaoke……a little too much
October 13th, 2009 at 7:53 am
Mel: I was thinking either warmth or skiing for “winter friendly”. Alaska might be a bit much.
Michelle M: Thank you for commenting on the post title! I was so proud of it! And be careful, I already looked up jet blue tickets to San Diego!
Chris D: I think you’ll really like Avatar. I’m excited for you to watch it.
Josh: I’ll take that dare!
TwoPi: LOL! @ 1
Sven: I totally want to go to Australia!
Jomoe: I already have your award picked out.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Orlando is nice. Plus, there’s this big party on the 24th – don’t know if you’ve heard about it.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:02 am
Sassy josh: Tony Benentt’s still alive, right?
And hey, sweetie, you can sing a medley of Britney/Christina/Pink/and any other over produced, undertalented screech machine you want, no problem for me…as long as I can still have that lap dance. 
TwoPi: Your #1 has me cracking up laughing!
HUGS…
October 13th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Polt: I’m pretty sure Josh ain’t giving you a lap dance now… He only does that to people who would appreciate his lap dances… and in order to appreciate his lap dances, you need to appreciate the beauty/talent of pop stars.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit that Britney might be ‘under’talented, but P!nk and Christina (y M. Branch/V. Carlton/Syesha) are actually great singers/songwriters, and are not just studio products since they sound great live too.
So while you can stay in the 1930s, listening to that music that is so funky and played out, Josh and I will not punish our ears… Instead, we’ll listen to the sweet, yet gravelly notes that the goddess P!nk graciously delivers to us. I would rant some more, but I have to go join Josh in giving lap dances to people who understand the joys of musica pop.
October 13th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
1. Me too.
2. Me too.
3. Yes. No. Totally. (As long as it’s not me.)
4. WTF.
5. That’s what I said!
6. My house!
7. I know, right?
8. Wah! I’ll be in NYC Saturday the 31st. With VUBOQ, even!
October 14th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Enirckyricardo: Ok, I will admit Pink isn’t really that bad, even I have enjoyed listening to a song or two of hers. But believe me when I say I can fake sincereity with the best of them, and if I have to appreciate the songs to get a lap dance from Sassy josh, well hell, then Britney/Christina/whomEVER is really my FAVORITEST performer in the whole wide world…or will be as long as I’m getting the lapdance.
HUGS…
October 14th, 2009 at 10:15 am
But Christina Aguilera is widely recognized as being a phemonal talent. Rolling Stone named her one of the top 100 best singers of all time. How can you hear her sing “At Last” and not at least appreciate her?
