Screw the failed bailout plan, let’s talk about the fact that the part of BEST* that has been out of the country for a month is stuck in an airport in Asia.
Yes, typhoon Jangmi hit Taiwan and is wreaking havoc and delaying all flights indefinitely.
This is totally lame and I’ll tell you why:
1 - Despite what they say, drinking tequila isn’t as fun alone.
2 - All of my pop culture knowledge is reaching dangerous levels with no outlet for discussion, we are talking 4 weeks of Us Weekly/PerezHilton/WWTDD here.
3 - Blog postings are getting increasingly worse in her absence. (ie. this post)

HELLO KITTY Gate (seriously):
I think I am going to make it back tonight! Even a typhoon can’t keep me from tequila and BEST responisbilities. Make that two Patrons for breakfast please.
I sure found it useful this morning on my drive in to work.? It started out normal, driving down Lincoln Avenue stopping at a red light as required by law, when a gentleman dressed as Superman started slamming his overly tanned hands against my wagon.? I made the mistake of trying to explain to him that the car isn’t allowed to move until the light turns green.? Sadly the explanation fell on deaf ears and I’m pretty sure it only made him more aggro.
Why?? Because crazy trumps reason every time.
Feel free to make it your own mantra.? I’ve said it about 50 times and feel much better about the dents in my car.
(Sadly, no picture/video was able to be captured for this posting due to the fact that he would have crushed me with his bum-tanned hands)
With Lehman Bros filing for bankruptcy & Ike destroying everything in it’s path…BEST* is happy to report (thanks to contributor Pat Freestone) that there is one place you can go to learn about all of the ways you can, er, go.
Yes, Bali. The half of BEST* that is in Southeast Asia just witnessed the following proof that not only does the love for Neil Diamond spread far and wide across the world, but also that the bar jukebox version of his number one money-maker has transcended the frat boy sing-along and reached even the shores of the Indian Ocean…
Why try and speak from the heart when one of these crafty wordsmiths could get you laid?
With copy like, “I am a gentleman who is seriously looking for a nice lady to develop a life-long love & companionship,” it is no wonder that people are willing to pay $24.95 USD to fabricate their romantic voice.
If BEST* COMPANY EVER doesn’t end up making millions, we are so going to make it rain with a lucrative career in ghostwriting love letters.
For the purpose of this entry, pretend you are a catchphrase. You started out in the Hip Hop community, became popular through some well received song lyrics and then quickly became overused in conversations ranging from 8-year old kids playing tag to grandmothers discussing quilting techniques. The end was near. You were, as they say, played out. And yet, there is hope for even the worst pun or catchphrase ever uttered.
BEST* uncovered a special place where all puns and once-catchy catchphrases can go to spend their twilight years: Street Fair Vendor Signs
(A big thank you to the Hermosa Beach Labor Day Street Fair for the inspiration and the carnival belly)
