Free Association Friday: CG Coppard

    Recently a guy named GC Coppard started leaving me hilarious comments on each post. Turns out he is also a talented writer. So naturally I recruited him for FAF. As usual, I came up the with words, and my guest freely associated. Enjoy, fellow FAFSTERS! Chamois – What the Sham-Wow pitch guy asked when they arrested him last month. Engoli – Svengali’s ineffectual cousin. Circus Peanut – A regular peanut with a red nose and unusual flexibility. Wanton – I’m not certain I’ve ever used this word properly in a sentence. Why start now? Won… Read More »Free Association Friday: CG Coppard

    The Toddlerazzi

      They arrive armed with multiple technology. Giving a smilenod while squeezing right past you, they jockey for position. With an unparalleled hunger for THAT MOMENT, they’ll head-and-shoulders your view before you can say customized-collage-coffee-cup. With such high-profile clients as Bubbe and Zaydee, Nana and Papa, or Grammie and Gramps, even the semi-sane adults start to cave under pressure. Over here, not there, here. HERE! SMILE, put down your dress. OH SHIT the flash, NNNNNooo I said “Well tip my hat!” I always say that “Well TIP my HAT.” Get your finger OUT OF THERE!! Cheese.… Read More »The Toddlerazzi

            Doradoradora, Can’t Ignore Ya

              Shush, Dora, Shush. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. No no, Mami, your voice far exceeds levels appropriate for non-drinking hours. I understand your excitement, for you speak two languages–DOS LENGUAS. And my if you aren’t fluent in the language of LOUD. Are limited gestures inversely proportionate to decibels? Like an infant, you can’t even clear your head with your arms fully extended. Not everyone with limited motion shouts though, do they? Do they, Mi’ja. What a journey you have before you: OVER the BRIDGE, THROUGH the FOREST, and TO THE TOP OF LA MONTANA! But my Cool Ranch Dorita,… Read More »Doradoradora, Can’t Ignore Ya

              Upon Your Maiden Bridesmaidhood: Considerations for Young Women

                I wrote this post for FunnyNotSlutty’s wedding theme this month. If you see html coding in the text below, please click over to FNS and read it over there. I tried something different to avoid the issue…we’ll see if it worked. You should go over to FNS anyway, and read Rene of Not The Rockefeller’s terrific post “Unbridled Apathy.” Hey, and why not join while you’re over there? Upon Your Maiden Bridesmaidhood: Considerations for Young Women: Young women, before offering your Bridesmaidhood, please carefully consider the following: When The drunken Fiancees proposition you at a… Read More »Upon Your Maiden Bridesmaidhood: Considerations for Young Women

                I need Technical Assistance: A Small Plea for Help

                  A query for anyone who is tech-savvy: Some readers are seeing html coding throughout my posts since I’ve switched to my domain (the blogspot leads to the domain www.annsrants.com). Only some readers see it though. I looked in blogger help and they provided two explanations: pasting from Word and not writing in compose mode. I do both of these, but always have without a problem. Any other ideas? Bah.

                  Free Association Friday: Marinka

                    Welcome, FAFians! The riotous bloggerinka of Motherhood in New York joins me for free association today here on m’blog and over at HBDC blog. I provided the words in bold and she associated freely. Bouganvilla – I’m going to need an antibiotic, aren’t I? Tina Yothers– Jennifer. DUH. Chiminea — the fuck? Chimera — OMG, my parents once had the worst fight because mama called papa a chimera. We were in Paris at the time, so it was sort of fitting. Hey Jumbo Jumbo — hey yourself! Bun Cover— I’ll take two, please. Decoupage— seriously,… Read More »Free Association Friday: Marinka

                    Plagarized, Bastardized, French-Canadianized!

                      Now you know that I’m the master of my blog domain (I bought my domain name). Today I admit to Googling myself. I’m learning not to feel ashamed–that it’s perfectly natural–and I’m hoping it’s not the cause of the warts on my hands. After Googling “anns rants” I came across one of my recent posts on Wedding Vows: Un blog utilisant Le Blogue du Québec. Ooh, fancy! It seemed like my post at first. They used my blog title and the correct post name, but after that things got hinky. Unsurprisingly, they didn’t link back… Read More »Plagarized, Bastardized, French-Canadianized!
