Brokeback Mountain jokes are funny again.

When the film first came out, jokes about gay cowboys were not the height of hilarity, but not completely lame. After a couple of weeks of endless references to "I can't quit you," by late-night talk show hosts and every person on television seeking to break vague homoerotic tension with some light humor, it became played out and hackneyed. Now, however, several weeks after the Oscars ceremony, the Brokeback jokes can once again be used -- but only in a very specific way.

Brokeback Mountain meta-humor is on the rise. Learn from the comedy experts: if a joke about something isn't funny anymore, a joke about a joke about something is funny. Just look at All Your Base. Perhaps one of the most successful (and by "successful" I mean widespread, not beneficial) internet memes, AYB was allowed by the laws of internet humor to be used without being called a n00b for upwards of many months. This is an extended lifetime compared to most internet jokes, such as the kitten-chasing Domo-kuns, or the O RLY? owl. Now, after a couple of years of silence, AYB can be brought back as satire of itself, and the internet as a whole. Meta is a very useful thing that way.

So, my intrawubbian friends, get back on that Brokeback horse and ride her into the ground, because I have a feeling that, like so many gems of comedy, even her meta stage cannot last very long. Soon, the joke, she will transform into a beautiful butterfly and fly, fly, fly away into the mists of time, where she can be pulled from the ether every three years or so, dusted off, and be said of, "Hey, remember Brokeback Mountain?"

Yes, you will quietly chuckle to yourself, yes I do.

Poll #722831 My First Poll! :)
Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: Friends

If you were my career advisor, what would you say I am best suited to do?

 
 
~Elizabeth ~ FireLily~
Why is it:
I took her hand,
but it was not in matrimony;
I told my side,
but it was never testimony.

Instead of:
I took her hand,
but it was not in mantrimony;
I took the stand,
but it was never testimony.

This annoys me every time I hear the song.

Jelly belly has a new flavor. Actually, I don't know when exactly it came out, but I just learned about it today. It's wild blackberry. And it's delicious.

What's your favorite Jelly Belly flavor?

So, I went out and upgraded my status symbol overpriced useless toy cell phone today and got the phone of my dreams - the Motorola Razr. Zomg, it couldn't be prettier unless it was, like, cobalt blue or something. So thin, so sleek, so shiny. A waste of money? Perhaps. But there's nothing like a shiny useless gadget to cheer you up.

"Only [4] people filled out my Johari window... Well fuck you jerks! "

Yeah, just relinking. And I refuse to do a Nohari, because my ego is fragile enough.

And we got none of it.

New York City saw something like two feet of snow, and we just 100 miles north in Dutchess county saw something like two inches.

Thanks a lot, weather.

My favorite pajama pants (green with purple monkeys and text that says, "cheeky chimps") have a big giant rip down the front of the right leg. It makes me sad. Goodbye, monkeypants.
