Today I accidentally ran across a picture of the world’s ugliest dog. I’d post a link or photo, but it is just too scary. This dog had cataracts, half of it’s fur missing, & was chewing on a bone that looked like it belonged to it’s own leg. Aliens don’t frighten me because they are aliens, I don’t believe in them. However, this is a dog & dog’s do exist. This mental image burning its way into my brain might have been ok if I was actually looking for a scary picture of a dog. I wasn’t though, & now I’m just a little disturbed. So here are some of my favorite posts of the week, no scary dogs included. Think if Lorelai Gilmore was surfing the internet where would she go? Some of them are from Problogger’s group writing project, & some are just cool.

19 Ways to Annoy People by Brad. Annoying people is fun, it just is, & we always need more tips to add to the repartee. Have to endure all those family gatherings somehow.

How to Shop Like My Mother-in-Law by SP. This reminded me so much of Emily Gilmore, it just had to go on the list.

How to Tease a German by Stefan. Again, annoying people is fun. It’s important to learn how to annoy people EVERYWHERE.

I Make Some Coffee, I Eat Some Rice Chex, and Then I Sit Down to Check My Inbox by Girl Friday. Just the title sounds like a Gilmore doesn’t it? Great read.

It takes a rare woman who can take a regular Meme & turn it into something incredibly funny. Trish explains what a “butter girl” is, & it isn’t racey.

So have a great day surfing the internet.  May all of your url’s be ugliest dog free.

Emily Gilmore would be horrified but I found a perfect Emily outfit for less than $50. Emily really knows what is age appropriate without looking matronly. Try a shiny satin or silk fabric, with a structured jacket. She also wears a lot of gold or light blue. This suit is just perfect for a mother of the bride or a DAR function. So maybe Emily would wear this just as long as we don’t tell her how much it costs.

We’ve all been in social situations that left us wishing that a distant relative would have a vague, but non life threatening emergency, so we could leave. Tact, decorum, & sheer awkwardness keep us sitting there. You never know who is going to end up at your next church function or as your boss ten years from now, so being plain rude is not an option. Why not switch the tables? Have some fun making the other person feel awkward. There is a fine line between letting someone know that you hate them & “they just don’t understand my special brand of quirkiness”. Here is how to lose any guy (or anyone else) in ten minutes. Let them feel awkward, uncomfortable, & wonder how to get out of there instead of you.

1. Make a high pitched humming noise. Insist that it is not coming from you, even though the noise stops when you open your mouth. Look around for said humming noise.

2. Check under the table for wiretaps. Grab the ketchup bottle & speak into it loudly.

3. Leave toilet paper hanging from your shoe. When the brave person finally gathers the courage to tell you about it, politely say you like it that way.

4. Grab each roll at dinner, take a bite & then put it back into the basket.

5. Look around at the other people with your best “Can you believe this guy” expression.

6. Have a teary break up scene no matter who you are with or how long you have known them.

7. Check your voicemail, mutter something about how your dog is calling again, & make a speedy exit.

8.  Upon your return from the bathroom announce “There are no exits out of this place, I checked. Not even a window in the bathroom”

These would be a lot funnier if they weren’t my real life experiences. I guess if you did the opposite of these things, you would be able to keep someone’s interest for longer than 10 minutes, but who wants that? Other great “How To’s…”

Now that you’ve found out “Which Gilmore Girl Are You?“, it’s time to find out who is your Gilmore Guy. This is the first quizilla quiz I’ve made so I hope you like it. It’s an absolutely free personality test. The options for your Gilmore Guy are Logan, Luke, Michel, Dean & Jess. I chose them because they represent all types of men: preppy, dependable, stylish, athletic, & rebellious. What do you think of the quiz? Is it accurate? Leave a comment & let me know who your Gilmore Guy is. I think it’s pretty accurate because:

A. I made it.

B. My result is Luke, all is right with the world

C. I don’t really have a C but the argument seemed pretty weak with just the two points.  I guess my point C will be, no one better try and steal Luke from me!
