Yesterday Tori of Smexy Books posted a link to an article about this new commercial. It’s so brilliant I had to share.

For the record, I think Rico is hotter without the make up (I love tattoos) and I SOOO need some of that concealer!

WLP Celebrates Halloween With Nightmares Fear Factory AGAIN

October 21, 2011 in On The Web & In The Media

It’s now week three of our little collab with Nightmares Fear Factory, the scariest haunted house in Canada! There is a legend behind the building and it all has to do with coffins. Perfect building for a haunted house don’t you think? Next week Vee will be sending me some video of a recent visit from a medium!

Legend tells of Abraham Mortimer, the proprietor of the once thriving “Cataract Coffin Factory”.

Mr. Mortimer spent his waking hours lovingly surveying his domain. But in the evenings, he was often teased by a bunch of hooligan boys. They would torment the eccentric then run off laughing.

One fateful night, Abraham confronted the riff-faff and in the ensuing struggle, a stack of coffins fell over and crushed him too death.

The guilty boys ran off never to be apprehended for the gruesome murder. However, soon after Mr. Mortimer’s funeral, his coffin was found unearthed and empty!

To this day, (legend tells it), he walks the halls in revenge of all who dare to trespass on his abandoned factory.

Did you really think I wouldn’t post any pictures? I live for these pictures weekly!

STOP! Hammertime.

Check out the LAST guy.

Note the girl didn't bat an eye. She should have, at that BIG ASS GOLD CHAIN!

LOVE!

I'm more afraid of the amount of sun-in on his hair

Snooki is that you?

Yeah buddy, SO hardcore & yet you're holding hands. Yep, I saw that.

Week One

WLP Celebrates Halloween With Nightmares Fear Factory

October 7, 2011 in On The Web & In The Media

I met a kindred spirit in my friend Vee over at Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls Ontario. You all know Pam & I adore seeing people scared half to death, so when I met Vee on Twitter, Pam & I became fast fans.

I asked Vee if we could share some of the wonders that make this the scariest haunted house in Canada. Plus, I wanted the excuse to laugh my ass off at the “fear faces”. It’s scary enough that over 100, 000 people have actually chickened out & not finished the walk-through! So for the next few weeks, sit back & enjoy while Pam & I share our favorite pictures.

Who knew you could jump straight up in fear?

If you turn your head, it will NOT go away. Nice try though.

His eyes say it all!

Nice to know Dad won't protect you!

What's with the men hiding BEHIND their ladies?

And of course, I saved my absolute favourite for last. There’s just so many things to look at.

....I have NO words......

Next week, Pam will share her favourites! Don’t forget to check out the Nightmares Fear Factory website or on Twitter @NightmaresFear

Me So Horney

October 3, 2011 in Funnies

This is not a review of the latest in PNR or erotica.  This is a post about me.

WAIT DON’T LEAVE!!

It’ll be funny, I swear.
Some of the other bloggers thought this would be a great idea, and you like their snarkalicious humour, right? Right! So keep reading.

Have you ever met people with one of those last names. A surname that makes you giggle and wonder how in the world that became a last name? Like maybe the Woodcocks, the Wanks or even the Greatheads. (All real names in my home town!)

Well I have one of those names.  My last name is Horney. Yeah, it’s pronounced exactly how you think it is.  I’ll wait for you to stop snickering.

Having been Mrs. Horney for close to ten years I’ve noticed some pros to having a last name like this. Here’s just a few;

  • Telemarketers can’t say my name without sounding either confused or as if they’re about to burst into a fit of hysterical giggles. One actually did and, in a bizarre but wonderful turn of events, actually hung up on me.
  • I’m on a first name basis with everybody. None of my doctors, real estate agents, even my boss like to refer to me as Mrs. Horney. This makes me feel young.
  • Discussing holiday functions sounds downright dirty. For Example, this year I’ll be hosting Horney Thanksgiving while my sister-in-law hosts Horney Christmas, and my husband’s parents take on Horney Easter.
  • The Hubs and I are able to lighten the mood in some awkward situations. Prenatal class with a bunch of nervous, first time parents was a lot more fun after we introduced ourselves as Mr and Mrs Horney.
  • I can use the last name to get people off my back. I graduated university with a history degree the same year I was married. During my job hunt, when I was asked over and over why I didn’t just become a teacher I was able to respond with, “Who’s going to pay attention to a teacher with the last name Horney?”. Conversation done.
  • I have a theme song.  2 Live Crew’s classic Old School hit Me So Horney. may not be polite, but nothing turns heads at a bar on karaoke night quite like singing the uncensored version of this song.
  • If I’m out, I can get free drinks from unsuspecting bartenders.
    Me:Will you give me a free drink if I prove to you how Horney I am?
    Bartender:Uh…hell yeah!
    Me: *slaps ID on bar* There’s my ID. Legally Horney 24/7. Make me a drink sucka! Muwahaha! (This was a lot easier to pull off as a newly wed in my early 20’s. Now it just makes me seem kind of sad and keeps bartenders from taking my orders)

The name’s not all unicorns and rainbows though. I get prank callers, I’ve yet to win any contests that involve a ballot and I’ll never be able to use my name to become a world-renowned children’s author.  My name is not on my company’s website (Massage Therapy + Horney = wrong kind of clients) and someday soon I’ll have to explain to my six-year-old son why his friends’ parents snicker when they hear his last name.

People with more refined (read:uptight) sensibilities than myself have asked me why I don’t drop the “y” or use my maiden name. Even my mother-in-law suggested I could pretend it was French and tell people it was pronounced Horn-eh, but I love the name (not to mention the man who gave it to me), it makes me laugh (still) and helps me to break the ice with strangers. What better way to get to know someone than sticking out your hand and telling them you’re Horney?

What are some of the funniest, most horrible or down right ridiculous last names you’ve ever heard?
