In Honor of Ke$ha's Lip Tattoo...

In case you're living under a rock and/or have more important things going on in life (i.e.: your world doesn't tragically revolve around everything featured on the E! network), here is what you've missed: http://teamcoco.com/video/conan-highlight-ke$ha-tattoo

But long before the haters were hating, I posted this to the Facebooks. Or whatever you silly kids are calling it these days. Enjoy.

I don't know what Ke$ha looks like (no MTV), but I have to assume that she's the most attractive female that has ever lived. How did I come to such a brash conclusion? Well, there has to be SOME reason she is allowed to commit auditory rape on our collective ears at such an alarming frequency. There is no way she got a record contract on vocal prowess alone. 
As sad as this sounds, and a clue as to how out of touch with today's youth I am, I honestly couldn't even tell you what her race is... or maybe I should just chalk my lack of knowledge on Ke$ha up to ignorant bliss. All I DO know is that she is a she and has the most annoying voice to ever be broadcast over radio waves. 
Update: Okay. So Tracy (my wife) showed me a picture of this "siren" and I have seen her before. Somewhere. SNL maybe? She's basically the love child of Lady Gaga mated with a howler monkey. And still... ??? (picture me making an over-exaggerated shrugging motion)... I have NO IDEA how she is in the music industry. Is face paint and a receipt for Auto-Tune™ the only prerequisite you need these days to have an album?
And now confession time. 

 Sometime after I had written this, I heard a Ke$ha song on the radio that didn't make me want to instantly veer into incoming traffic. Don't misunderstand me here. Her voice is still the sonic equivalent of water boarding, but the song (something about places gearing up to explode) isn't the worse thing I've ever heard. "Jack and Diane" by John Cougar Mellencamp gets that distinguished honor. Followed closely by anything uttered by my personal demon, Randy Newman. Sorry, Ke$ha. Maybe if you ruin a series of Pixar movies, you can pry the trophy from Randy's horrible, horrible, sweaty fingers.

Cutting the Cord—or—Charter is like Syphilis, Except There's a Cure

First, the background story: Years ago, we cut our cable in favor of using OTA channels coupled with a TiVo and Netflix/Hulu to receive all of our content. And by "receive all of our content" I mean "binge unhealthy amounts of Gilmore Girls and JAG." In our area, we had two options: Charter (Spectrum) and Frontier. Frontier’s top speed was Charter’s bottom and was not really an option for gaming, or really anything. So, we had ONE option—the localized monopoly. And their "service" was abysmal. I paid for 60 MBs, but every speed test averaged out to about 30-40 (I have the logs and I’ve only gotten 60 once, so I know it’s possible). And their service would randomly slow to a crawl or stop working all-together and no amount of trouble-shooting on their end fixed the problem. Even buying a new router resulted in half the speed I was paying for. But after years of verbal abuse perpetrated by Charter's phone-bot, I just accepted it. About June, a fly

I Can Only Stands So Much and I Can't Stands No More

We. Are. Moving. Seriously. Proof. Oh great. Now I want a Chicken Slider. Fantastic. Thanks, White Castle. After the worst winter in [my] recorded history, thanks to our surly friend Mr. Polar Vortex, word on the street is that his abusive step-father El Niño is on the way. But, until that lovely day we get thunderstorm after thunderstorm after thunderstorm to keep us entertained. For instance, this morning instead of getting ready for work, we were huddled in the basement with air raid sirens accompanying the soothing sounds of torrential downpour, gale force winds and shingles being torn mercilessly from the roof. We had 2/3rds of our animals sheltered (and thoroughly confused) with us, so we at least had that in the "Plus" column. The other was found later hiding under a bed. I nearly joined him. Here's a note for any interested: Sump pumps do not actually pump water when you have no electricity. So all the water shooting into the basement from the ceiling an

Art Funtime with Shaner –or– SHArt Time

Episode 3: Hand Sculptures Today, I’ll show you kids at home how to make fun, exciting art with your own hand using common, every day items around the house. Here are the materials you’ll need: A hand A glass thermometer A CBS sitcom laugh track (optional) Step 1: At the request of an ailing wife, locate your household thermometer. You may have to rifle through several drawers, so plan ahead. Step 2: Once found, attempt to pry the thermometer from its case. This works best if the last person to use it put it back incorrectly or jammed it with adhesive, like Gorilla Glue or Nutella. Step 3: Bleed profusely into a sink full of dirty dishes. 1 or 2 uncharacteristic cuss words are acceptable in this situation as you pull shards of glass from your fingers frantically. 3 cusses is too many, so use your allotment wisely. Step 4: Calmly and rationally request that your wife join you in the kitchen, so she may aide you in wrapping your gaping wounds with old, but hopeful
