Steffy Consults "The Old Spice Guy"

The Old Spice guy (Isaiah Mustafa) tells George Stephanopoulos how Obama can regain the support of female voters. "...Hello ladies!" Ahahaa!



I seriously have a reminder sticky note here by my desk right now that says "add ninja to wishlist." Isn't Mafia Wars fun? Every now and then, someone impresses me with a witty MW name. Most recently it's "Don Pérignon." *snort*

Tracy and I went to the Grease Sing-Along movie last night at the Alamo Drafthouse. John Travolta and Jeff Conaway in 1978- sooooooo freakin' cute. This was the first sing-along I've been to there. (This studio-produced sing-along is very unlike the not-so-fancy self-subtitled versions AD usually does, our host told us.) It was really fun. There were even party favors. It was really cool watching the film in a theater again, and with a very participatory audience, not only singing loud, but cheering, booing and quoting along as well. Incidentally, there is a filthy line in "Greased Lightning" that I didn't know until last night. "...You know that I ain't bragging, she's a real p***y wagon..." P-Wagon? Really? I never had a clue what he said there. I may have been mortified had I known at 11. Back then, we were all giggly just hearing him sing the S word.

This brings us to the song lyrics of the day. Sometimes just one phrase from a song really strikes me as brilliantly written. It's very difficult to write a few words that pack a lot of emotional punch, but here's one great example:

Song Lyrics of the Day

...You could crush me
but please don't crush me...
